Up for the Cup

​We're launching a new cup competition as part of the 2018/19 season - and this weekend is the qualifying round.

The top 1,024 players after Gameweek 3 will enter into the tournament. In the event of a tie it'll go down to the highest Gameweek 3 total, then drawn at random.

From there, the teams will be drawn at random. The team with the highest Gameweek score that cup weekend goes through to the next round.

If the match is drawn it goes to the team with the highest total score, then decided at random.

Here's the schedule:

• Gameweek 6 - First Round (1,024 teams)

• Gameweek 9 - Second Round (512)

• Gameweek 12 - Third Round (256)

• Gameweek 15 - Fourth Round (128)

• Gameweek 18 - Fifth Round (64)

• Gameweek 21 - Sixth Round (32)

• Gameweek 24 - Last 16

• Gameweek 27 - Quarter Finals

• Gameweek 30 - Semi Finals

• Gameweek 33 - Final

Good luck to all - we hope these cup clashes add another dimension to the 2018/19 season!
