There are only four teams remaining as the Fantasy Premier League Cup reaches the semi-final stage.

Mithun Majithia's team, "Meefs Majic", will take on Andrew Adel's "Dodo" for a place in the Gameweek 38 final.

Chips in reserve

Both managers still have one FPL chip left to play over the final two Gameweeks. 

Mithun has the Triple Captain chip, while Andrew is yet to employ his Bench Boost.

Mithun, from England, is perhaps the favourite of the two.

He is ranked 1,869th in the world, while Egypt-based Andrew sits in 17,978th spot.

Talismanic captain

The two managers have rather different squads, owning just five of the same players.

Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) helped Everton fan Mithun to reach the last four, contributing 19 points to a crushing 107-70 quarter-final win.

And Salah could be vital again for Mithun this weekend.

Although semi-final rival Andrew owns three Liverpool players, Salah is not among them.

Sterling effort

Andrew earned his spot in the last four with a narrow 84-80 victory in Gameweek 36.

He will look to Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) to help steer him to success. 

The winger plays at home against Leicester City on Monday evening and could be a huge captain differential for Andrew.

Tempting targets

At present, Mithun’s only Manchester City player is Aymeric Laporte (£6.2m).

But with Pep Guardiola’s side pushing for the title, both managers could bring in more Man City players ahead of Friday’s 19:00 BST deadline.

Combined with the use of their chips, that could make all the difference in their semi-final.
