What's next?
A random draw has pitched teams against one another to do battle head-to-head in Gameweek 17's fixtures.
The winner of the head-to-head will be the team with the higher Gameweek score minus any transfer points spent.
If a cup match is drawn, the following tie-breaks will be applied until a winner is found:
- Most goals by the teams' players scored in the Gameweek
- Fewest goals conceded by the teams; players in the Gameweek
- Virtual coin toss
The winner will progress to the next round and another random draw will take place.
This process continues until the final Gameweek when the two remaining teams contest the cup final.
