Mondogoal Arrives At Fantasy Football Scout

Fantasy Football Scout are delighted to announce that we’re teaming up with Mondogoal, a new daily and weekly Fantasy Football game, for the 2014/15 season.

Mondogoal arrives as a new player on the scene, backed by two of the Premier League’s elite – Man City and Liverpool – and delivers a new experience, allowing Fantasy Managers to compete for free or for cash prizes across a range of games in any given Gameweek.

The game not only covers the Premier League; Mondogoal support both the Champions League and Europa League and run contests for all the major top flight leagues – Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Major League Soccer (MLS).

Getting involved is simple – you register an account, find a contest to join and then go about selecting your starting XI.

The basic principles will be familiar, although Mondogoal has its own scoring system which introduces new factors into play when considering your lineup. Points are awarded for completed passes, defenders benefit from interceptions gathered, while the propensity to draw and commit fouls is also key.

Each week we’ll be presenting you with our assessment of the top targets on offer ahead of each set of Premier League fixtures. Throughout the season, Mondogoal will be hosting Fantasy Football Scout contests with prize pots on offer for our visitors.

A full strategy guide, discussing the finer points of the Mondogoal scoring system and assessing how this will shape our tactics, will be published later this week.

For now, check out Mondogoal’s introduction movie below and scan their site for more details.

Would you guys rather have a defence of

A) Cahill/Evans/Ward/Chester/Ferdinand
With Bojan as a 3rd striker

or

B) Cahill/Ward/Chester/2 4.0
With Pelle as a 3rd striker ?

I really tried squeezing out 1 mil to upgrade pelle to 8.5 but I couldnt

For those who missed it, I made a post on what players should be priced at, and which are best value here:

http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/08/11/scout-report-mauricio-isla/?hc_page=1#hc_comment_7828832

The first spreadsheet isn't brilliant for accuracy, but outlines the few best options, where as the other one is best for close comparisons and is just better on the whole.

Can I suggest some kind of evaluation of Citys attacking options as the next burning question article Mark & the scoutcast team.

So much uncertainty surrounding the champions and top scorers

Dzeko v Jov
Silva v's Nasri
Kun....is he worth the price

So many possibilities for discussion so I'd keep it quite broad........like 'Will you be going into the season with any City players?' or something like that

  You'd be better off getting a high percentage one, not many will be changing their 4m gk, and will need about 30,000 in a gameweek to go down in price which won't happen.

What's the opinion on this defence?

DDG - Gilks
Ward - Pieters - Naylor - Collocini - PvA

I'd generally play Ward in almost every game, while STK/SWA and NEW/SUN rotate nicely for the 2 other spots.

I know it is not great, but it'd let me to have Rambo & Costa instead of Alexis & Giroud...

        I just wouldn't rotate a 5m and a 4.5m gk. I'd either do DDG and a 4m or two 4.5m ones.
        
        Of those I'd go for good goalkeepers who get lots of save points. Krul/Guzan/Foster....its boring but don't mess around with new players who cost more...go tried and tested.
        
        Mannone and Krul looks the best...depends whether you fancy the gamble of game time at Sunderland.
