   The Watchlist – Christian Benteke

   Filed under: The Watchlist - Posted by: Big Dunc

   As a result of Alex McLeish’s horrendously negative tactics last season, very few Villa players were taken seriously by Fantasy managers when crafting initial lineups this time round. Prices were subsequently downgraded and with the arrival of a more attack minded manager in Paul Lambert, plus the emergence of several young (and cheap) players, the [...]

   Spot The Differential – Gameweek 4

   Filed under: Spot The Differential - Posted by: Big Dunc

   As we all emerge from the hibernation of international week, I’ve decided it’s time to justify my status as Scout Contributor by dusting off the typewriter and picking up the Differentials again this week. We have a little bit of everything this time – we’re running the rule over an old Fantasy favourite, a youngster [...]

   Spot The Differential – Gameweek Thirty Eight

   Filed under: Spot The Differential - Posted by: Big Dunc

   Sunday morning’s deadline creeps ever closer and it’s time for a final roll of the dice. There’s only one chance left to overhaul that mini league lead and if you’re anything like me, then nothing short of a miracle will suffice. What’s needed is something truly special – a player that no one else has [...]

   Spot The Differential – Gameweek Thirty Five

   Filed under: Spot The Differential - Posted by: Big Dunc

   With just four weeks of the season left, desperation is starting to kick in. In Wigan’s case, that desperation seems to have spurred them on to go all out and produce their best football of the season, but for many Fantasy managers battling the odds in their own (equally important) leagues, that desperation needs a [...]

   Spot The Differential – Gameweek Thirty Four

   Filed under: Spot The Differential - Posted by: Big Dunc

   This Gameweek has proven to be a big headache for the Scout Committee team, and with a limited pool of talent to choose from, we’ve had to dig deep to fish out three worthy “Differential” selections for you. We’ve ended up with an Austrian, a Spaniard and a Serb. Stop me if you’ve heard this [...]

   Spot The Differential – Gameweek Thirty Two & Thirty Three

   Filed under: Spot The Differential - Posted by: Big Dunc

   With the missing fixtures and double Gameweek complications dominating the comments, we’re well aware that free transfers are at a premium and have tried to take a longer term view than usual with the Differentials this week. Planning out transfers is essential right now but, with a decent strategy over the next four weeks and [...]

   Spot The Differential – Gameweek Thirty One

   Filed under: Spot The Differential - Posted by: Big Dunc

   Thursday’s double Gameweek announcements certainly stirred the pot, confirming some incoming blanks whilst handing us an extra roll of the dice in Gameweek 36. With our squads are under greater scrutiny, this might just be the time to break up the template and take a punt. Friday’s delivery of “differentials” is timely, then, packaging something [...]
