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

In the second tie, heading towards Gameweek 38's final, Singapore manager Ricky Mansukh appears to have the advantage.

Ricky's team, FC Rickochet, has both Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) and Sergio Aguero (£11.9m) for Manchester City's home match against Leicester City.

But Ricky's opponent, Englishman Dave Chappell, currently owns no Man City players in his Bielsabub side.

Crucial swaps 

Neither manager has any chips remaining so their transfer decisions will be crucial.

Dave has been inventive with his recent trades.

He has reached the last four having taken a four-point hit in each of the last four Gameweeks.

However, his opponent has two free transfers heading into Gameweek 37.

Shrewd signing 

Ricky could look to take advantage of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ home match with Fulham by targeting Diogo Jota (£6.3m).

Dave has a full quota of three Wolves players and the in-form Jota is not one of them.

Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) looks vital to Dave’s prospects as Liverpool travel to Newcastle United.

Along with Sadio Mane (£10.2m), the Egyptian earned Dave a 102-64 victory in the quarter-finals.

Top 5k 

Ricky squeezed into the last four by the narrowest of margins, winning 80-79.

Yet he has enjoyed the more successful season overall.

He sits in 4,991st place in the world, while Dave is ranked 47,703rd.

And with Sterling and Aguero both in his squad, Ricky will hope to have the edge over his rival.
