With just one match remaining of the penultimate Gameweek, we delve into the members data once again this evening. We assess the recent displays of Villa, Everton and Swansea’s frontman, cast an eye over David Silva’s season, and also analyse the main men from Southampton, QPR and Palace’s midfields.

Classic Lukaku 🙂
Loftus Cheek
Lukaku moves back to Chelsea and assists Loftus-Cheek?
36 points ahead in mini-league. Would 2 transfers be too risky?
What are the transfers ?
More info needed.
for -4? Selling and buying?Still thinking about it, but my current team is:
Pantilimon - Davis
Vlaar - Wasilewski - Terry - Upson - Alderweireld
Boyd - Ramsey - Sánchez - Hazard - Gómez
Giroud - Benteke - Aguero
Was thinking of doing (-4)
Gomez -> Silva
Giroud -> UlloaGomez -- Punch or Bolassie is what I would do
Thanks, mate
I agree
Did everyone achieve there season goal ?.
I'll tell you next week 🙂
No
Season goal top 1000 not there yet
Coutinho has won 2/2 awards so far
Somehow Sterling won YPOTY ahead of Emre Can. Sterling looked awkward and was booed, asked if he was staying and told to f off. Brilliant
Liverpool awards?
Yeah mate pretty pathetic
so Coutinho has won 2 out of 3 so far then??
He wasn't in ypoty category
Ah so Coutinho won Performance of the Season vs Man City.
Goal of the season also?3/3 now
Goal of the season
Players player of the year
Performance of the year
To the guy on the last article saying about opening up the members area on the last day to everyone, so non-members can see what's available, there's a whole section on this site dedicated to showing people what you can get from becoming a member, plus loads of YouTube videos showing you about it all.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/scout-member-benefits/They give us ticker, watchlist, a forum, scout picks, cup competitions all this for non members like.
And a preseason price reduction.And the ScoutCast.
Yeah basically everything on the site that can be seen and used as a non member.
If that aint a taster I don't know what is.Plus, people buy video games that are like £40/£50 and they last like what, a couple of months? This is £10/£15 depending on when you buy it for a year!
I don't know where you've got this notion I'm saying it's overpriced from! I've explicitly stated I'll be purchasing it any way several times.
Although my post stated make it available for the last day, people in the thread had a better idea of after the season has ended - so it has no effect on members that have already paid!
My post was created as an idea for FFS to boost subscibers by giving them an outright glimpse at what they'd see when they paid, opposed to having to watch all the videos on that page (Which I still haven't done, but will).I'm not directing the pricing at you, I'm just saying. You don't really need a taster for something that's so cheap. Any member on the site will tell you it's worth it.
The videos aren't that long, plus it says all about it anyway.
15 quid is a lot of money for some folk...or at least it's 15 quid they could well spend several times over on other stuff....A peek can push it up the list a bit.
I'm pretty much set on getting it next season, price isn't an issue for me, though I do get that it will be for some.
The thing that stopped me getting it this season was the though of "Do I really need this to do well?" - I mean in all honesty the free content here is more than enough to do well in FF, In my first full season (I started GW 2 or 3 last year) of FF I'm top of my ML and OR 12k~ just buy spending 30-40 mins here each week.
If I (and I'm guessing many others) got to see first hand all of the tools available, got to play around and mess with the tables etc, I think it would convince a lot more people to purchase the subscription.thought*
its the stats and mix n matching that ppl want to see i guess....thats the stuff that gives the edge over the free stuff, otherwise why bother
It's all there in the link though.
Oh God I love the music to that video! 😛
Personally don't use any of the members only stuff, but I do read all articles about twice week and hour sat mornings on forum. Like many others I pay membership for the great work the men have done in creating such great site and help keep site going forward. U seem to use site a lot so £15 at this stage of season after year of use wouldn't be ridiculous IMO
Schmeichel

Sánchez ● HENDO ● CAZ ● Haz

A) Hendo and Austin to Bolasie and Benteke (-4)
B) Cazorla and Austin to Herrera and Benteke (-4)
A or B??
C) Hendo and Austin ----->Vardy and xxxx
Think I'm done with FF.
Second year in a row my oppo has stole it in gw37 after I've led from December.
Now it's silva, grealish n 10 pts v haz n albrighton.
I give up. It annoys me more Han I enjoy it now. Silva has turned everything.You go again Pug.
And the winner will be so much sweeter.Nah. Silva will score well.
I'm cooked. Been fuming since Saturday.I mean next season Pug old son.
Nah coz he'll just spawn it again.
Only so many blows my ego can take.I never took you as a quitter Pug.
Retiring*
You'll not retire on my watch Pug.
Suck it up have the summer off and go again.
Learn from you mistakes and take him to church next season.Thing is...I didn't make a mistake...that's the annoying thing.
If you had the lead and didn't play defense in 2 seasons running by getting in Silva, couldn't that qualify as a mistake?
I've found it's much harder to hold a lead than it is to catch someone with a lead. Just part of the game.Silva had no form and city were playing awful. I would ordinarily cancel but would have cost an extra hit for the dgw.
It's not really a mistake, just an FPL anomaly that could only be perceived as a mistake in retrospect.Well truthfully, a lot of the game is luck. Your league is now out of reach? My other motto is, what goes around comes around, luck for my opponent often comes back around to me eventually.
Yeah not had that at all. He got it last week in the dgw.
I had so much more money than him and got aguero and silva. He could only afford dzeko and nasri. Those two absolutely smashed mine after aguero got inj at Everton.
Smashed!
If you can't enjoy it, may as well pack it in. I'd be out for revenge personally tho.
2 years on trot.
His luck is uncanny. I mean serious unadulterated luck. Absolutely raging. But you are right.
This game has the capability to spoil my entire weekend. Obviously shows a personal volatility but when you play he game by the numbers and it goes wrong, what can you do? He's a right bragging pr*ck too.More reason to play again really. Show him how to win gracefully 😉
We both know it doesn't work like that!
Most folk don't like posters leaving here (there are exceptions obviously), and if you quit then you won't be here. But some people take it too seriously and need to get out. Appreciate your rival seems a bit of a tosser, so why not play in other leagues, or start your own, tosser-free league?
Haha I've been away for 5 years. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed social media because of my role and now I've returned home, the network of decent friends is a broken tangle.
But this is a good suggestion. See what I can reprieve.My poor brother has come 2nd to me 5 out of the last 6 seasons, but he just keeps comin back for more, which is cool. & I'm an awful tool too 😉 Best of luck!
Haha I'm a terrible loser is what this comes down to. But it's so frustrating
Absolutely raging lol
Hahaha
LOL sounds similar to my mini league, I had a healthy lead which has been destroyed by some jammy luck Myhill getting 26 points from United (RVP missed pen) and Chelsea cleensheet last night!
play on your own and enjoy
Lol may well do.
You should definitely quit if FF can get you this worked up.
Yeah. It's become a toxic addiction with little pay off.
I used to take it far more serious than workmates and hated how lucky they got when I spent ages planning things but since absinthe last post I have really put the outcome in perspective. Still want cash obviously but now just think you make your choice and if it happens it happens.
Something stupid like terry not getting sent off might decide my league but what can you do about it?Well this is all I can do about it really. Not centre my weekend around this. It's only in recent months I've noticed a significant effect on my mood one way or the other and tbh my job requires me to pay attentions elsewhere.
It's time for a mutual separation or at he least and indefinite hiatus.Suppose but then you will soon forget who is reserve full back for Stoke and is life worth not knowing that
Fortunately (or the antonym of this) I will still maintain my addiction to football manager...probably into my 40s. Played them continually from 1992 for the Amiga 600 😉 geeeeeek
Yeah - once I set my goal at top 4 (in the money) in my ML versus getting worked up when I'm out of first, I've enjoyed it much more.
Haz and Albrighton could easily bag double figures. I'd rather have your players than his for the final GW. Don't give up!
You'd rather have Albright and haz....erm...nope!
Thanks for the boost but I'm not looking for that. I'm just feeling aggrieving and was hoping to find similar lost souls staring into the abyss of another summer of disappointment.
I will now have to take a hit of caz n Kane to bolasie and benteke(c) whilst he (c)'s aguero.
To make things worse I'm a spurs fan. My disappointment is now complete.You've got to keep Kane imo, and I personally wouldn't drop Caz either. You've got to look at it objectively, 10 pts is nothing. An Aguero blank and you're laughing. Take a calculated punt this week and see how the cookie crumbles. I wouldn't take a hit if I were you.
We both have caz and Kane.
Arguably the two weakest links in my team. It makes sense to go from a 10point deficit with no hope to a 14 point one with more differentials and some hope...surely?You've got Haz, a massive differential to his Silva, and Albrighton who is more threatening than Grealish. I'd look at taking Caz out or doing Aldy out but not a hit. You don't need a hit you've got good differentials.
Kane hasn't scored in weeks. Spurs are out of steam. Teke or Lukaku will explode this weekend...
If you believe it then go for it! But you're only 10 pts behind, you only need one differential to come in. If you were 40 pts behind then yeah I'd take hits coz you'd need all 4 or 5 differentials to hit it big. Good luck tho, one last throw of the dice!
last year I lost to my big rival-it was difficult,it was not good,it was bad....
this year i'm on the edge of victory over the same rival
even if i don't win it passions me
i wouldnt have it any other way
when that energy goes I'll give up
pug I challenge you -can we construct the 'serious abyss' league pride the only prize?
citeh fan -poch is bollxojust generating some energy poch isnt too bad -pellys deffo boll!!
Haha sounds like a plan. Never entered a league with folk off here before.
We need all the angry characters to join.okay you'r e on -you're here reasonably often
we remind each other of that passion when the new season starts and bring as many as you want to the 'serious abyss' league....
and good luck whether you win or not
this level of silly passion and pointless waste of time will only improve your work ......
Half of my posts on here are moans, I'd be up for a Moaning, The World is Always Against me Emo League.
A my chemical romance league?
That is recoverable. 10 points can easily get swung on a captain decision alone
He has aguero(c)
Aguero has blanked at home games before. This week I made the right call to play Phillips over Henderson which got me 11 points. You never know where a double digit savour could come from.
Also Hazard captain is perfectly good option and could outscore Aguero, definitely not dead and buried.
You can still do it Pug, id rather have Hazard than Silva this week tbh, the goals Everton shouldve scored v Sunderland wont be spurned by Chelsea plus they'll want a nice end of season win, 3-0 Chelsea at least i reckon. Man City are more or less confirmed 2nd and Pellegrini may well start with Aguero and Bony which could hamper Aguero
Cazorla or Yaya Toure
B

Are people sure Punch is the best Palace punt if Paris is sticking him on the right and a Bolasie through the middle?
Bolasie is the best punt imo.
Bolasie is best option but I f up all he time.
I already have Bolasie...but I'd get him again if I didn't
Eurovision is on lads
Rather play Fallout 3.
now yer talking, i leant mine to a mate 2 years ago tho 🙁
That's a long-term loan agreement!
2 years, maybe give him a nudge soon.
yup, i could go for a quick 100hrs playthro 😉
Rather play red rocket with the dog.
Let me know when Poland are on
Liverpool awards > Eurovision 🙂
Rather watch a women with a beard.
Well you're in luck,this is Serbia'a entry who was just on
http://leosigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/bojana-stamenov-press-conference-eurovision-600x336.jpgNot bad, not bad at all.
Have to throw flour down to find the wet patch
Ospina
Ivan. Vlaar. Kos.
Mane. Yaya Toure. Sanchez. Young. Loftes-Cheek
Benteke. Rivière.
Good for GW38?Dislike Riviere and Loftus-Cheek.
Hypothetically, if I'm still about 22 points off my ML leader after the Arsenal game, is taking a hit really that bad for potential one week punts to punt to victory?
Not if you win.
Would you get a defender and mid or 2 mids and play PVA?
Go with the mids, that's where most the points potential is.
At 22pts, you've little option but to punt/take a hit. May as well be 40 as 22.
Bet big on a captain that isn't safe.
Lukaku, benteke, bolasie are all primed for a decent punty puntyCheers, I was thinking Fellaini 😯
I wonder what Di Maria's fit missus sees in the ugly multi-millionaire footballer?
Never mind her...Did you see Falcao's...crikey...
Falcao is much better looking than ADM though
Thinking of doing Giroud+Ramsey+Bertrand ➡ Lukaku+Mata+Kolarov for -8. 😀
Giving me-
Mignolet
Kolarov - Moreno - Duff
Hazard - Sanchez - Mata - Silva - Puncheon
Aguero - Lukaku
Myhill - Vardy - Wolly - PVA
Yay or Nay? 🙂@Pug....Play for fun....I challenge you to take a hit a week every week and beat 18k....That's what I did last season and it works. No sleepless nights worrying about OR of Bob from Accounts being all turdy, just a small challenge.
How do you know bob from accounts?
He is a bit turdy actuallyGotta hate that Bob. All turdy like.
They're all called Bob....and everybody in stores is called Bert...
Even the girls?
Yes.
He he quick name change
My best season was one where i took 40+ hits,finished 1500 ish
It's a great way to play when the game starts to take over. It becomes a game of just you against the clock so to speak.
I don't play for fun though. For me it's about winning.
Bit of a douchey way to be but I don't see he point of doing anything unless it's a full throttle smash.Need to get Silva next year then 😉
I had him last year and it cost me!
Can't win!Just one of those things dude!
i hadnt seen the prevew vids before.......... nice, very overwhelming 😯
Same! Given that my workplace are starting a cash ML next season for the first time, I think it's pretty much set in stone I'll be subscribing! :p
What transfer do I need to make? 0.1 in the bank:
Myhill--Hamer
Bertrand--Alderweild--Hutton--Terry--PvA
Sanchez--Ozil--Puncheon--Hendo--Silva
Kane--Giroud--Aguero--
Really not sure, if been going round in circles
Hendo>Mane does that work?
Is there going to be a scoutcast tonight?
Coutinho has racked up 4/4 awards tonight. Never seen a player smile so much, well deserved kid. The only bright spark in a disappointing year
Still want to ditch him in fpl.
hehe
Does anyone else put World Cup / champ league style gold stars on their office wall for every time they win ML?
Just me then
Are you Turdy Bob?
o/
You dont embroider them into your work shirts?
I did think about it
Not sure who would do that
No, but I am going to now 🙂 Genius
I haven't got enough space.
So that's what the stars mean on McDonald employees' name badges - I always wondered.
Vg
No but that's a great idea 🙂
No but I wear my chocolate foil winners medals wherever I go
I add an extra crown to my team name... Annoys my rival perfectly
New name...new career...
Did you get the message from Bert?
Yes...apparently George in sales is as mad as hell...
Hey All,
one last transfer to bring the season to an end. Need some help!
Myhill/Guzan
Terry/Moreno/Alder/Pva
Haz(C)/Alexis/Caz/Larsson/Boyd
Kun/Giroud/Kane
Bank 1.4
Cazorla>Silva and play Boyd or Larsson
Larsson> Mane
Any other suggestions?......want to keep inside of top 1000Kim bored, anyone recommend a film to watch?
Turdy Bob and the Temple of Doom?
Back Turdy Future
Whoo hoo...!!....
Nice!

Cold in July
The shining
Enjoy 😉 just about to introduce my missus to serenity...
I saw Blue Ruin and Cold in July. Both very good. Cold in July is a movie adapted from my fave author, Joe R Lansdale. My Feng Shui man! I want to see It Follows; I have heard it is original. I saw two opposite movies this weekend, The Clouds of Maria Sils and Mad Max. Both very good. The new Mad Max could be one of my fave action movies, ever (and I'm an old movie buff).
cheers guys, ill have a butchers
One Flew over Lukaku's Nest
Foxcatcher is amazing
Apologies probably been asked already...Scoutcast tonight? Not looking likely.
I'd imagine it's tomorrow if at all after final game of the game week
Ta yeah could be right
I JUST CAME HERE TO SAY THAT BOYDINHO ISN'T GETTING THE RESPECT AND RECOGNITION HE DESERVES IN THE TOTY POLL!
Keep it down.
I'm not normally an all caps guy, but seriously, I think Boyd has been one of the best midfielders in FPL this season. This is FPL, not PL and value for money is a big part of it.
I can't hear myself lurk with all the noise!
I AGREE!
LOUD NOISES!!!!Boydinho's performance and FPL flair this season has might not have earned him more than 2 caps for Scotland, but I honestly think he's worth all caps.
He's more cult midfielder of the season. Haz, Sanchez, Silva, and Siggy got my votes
Boyd got my vote. Best cheap option for most of the year.
He does seem quite good. He reminds me of Matic a bit.
You should be familiar with my plight.
I have worked hard to cancel my opponent but now that is to my disadvantage.
Him: silva, grealish, heaton & 11pts
Me: hazard, mignolet and albrighton
As it stands all other players are the same. 11 pts with 3 differentials is little hope...surely 15 pts behind with 5 is room for more optimism?
Thinking caz & Kane -----> bolasie and benteke/Lukaku
Any thoughts for the forlorn out there?bolosie +benteke(c)
Yeah hats the one!
correction-what am i saying-only joking,....!!!
bolosie+lukaku(c)I was heading to benteke town.
naw,look at those lukaku big numbers,loves the final GW
benty for FA cup cotton woolsville-early departure or late arrival on pitch-dont do this
naw nawLol k senior
Only that you are giving yourself a chance with two players who are on the up, as oppose to two who are distinctly on the down....
Then that's surely worth a 4 point gamble?
Do you know his email address and password?
I've tried his. For two hours.
Haha. I'd go with Benteke instead of Lukaku. I'd also gamble on a -4 hit if winning is everything.
Yeah...toss a coin. Will guess incorrectly
nice
I think the hit is right.
Think I'd get Lukaku, Benteke could be rested for cup now they are safe.Isn't there a full week between game and final?
May be more detrimental to rest players?Not saying it's probable, just that it's possible.
Sure thx
If Arsenal win tomorrow I'd ditch Sanchez and gamble that he'll be given a rest - gives you a bit of cash to spend on your 2 transfers.
Well first things first, take a snap shot of his existing team and team value. Wait until he does he transfer then figure out what move he has done. That might push you towards a strategy on who to get in.
What is your complete team?He makes subs at 11:29 every week
He will do Giroud to benteke.
All the more reason for you not to go for Benteke.
With 4-5 differentials, a 15 point differential could certainly be overcome, especially if you hit on captaincy.
Sanchez > Yaya Toure is the move I am looking at this week. I am also certain Sanchez wont play and could be a good move if he does not make the same move
It's possible I suppose.
I would not get disheartened. Albrighton could outscore Grealish easily especially is he doesn't play
i would be more confident with yours gw36 i was 30 pts behind my ml rival,then had a good week went 17 in front,so far now i am 28 in front,anything is possible,good luck
I have won my MLs and looking for some extra points to stay in the top 10k...Skrtel > Kolarov for GW38? I have Silva and Aguero...
Seeing as you have Silva and Aguero, yes.
Best defender to get in this week 5.2 and below?
Punt on Jones?
Schlupp
Nothin much. Just sitting back drinkin a Bud.
You?
Morgan
Wake up everyone, it's started....
What?
you haven't heard?
Oh I know the word.
