Just four gameweeks to go now and the race is really heating up at the top of the Fantasy Football Scout league. Our top five rundown sees two new entries, with Chris Prentice and Sean og Connolly dropping out this week. With two of our top five inside the overall Fantasy Premier League (FPL) top ten, and the lowest-ranked in 18th place overall, it’s clearly no easy task to maintain this pace. Here’s the update on this week’s action:

Chris McGurn

Morons FC

Fantasy Football Scout Ranking #1 Overall FPL Ranking #2

Last Week’s Score 63pts
Chris opted for two double gameweek players, Asmir Begovic and Jamie O’Hara, giving the Wolves man the captain’s armband, a move which brought just 8 points. His Lampard, Terry, Luiz Chelsea trio combined for a 24 point haul at home to West Ham and ever-reliant Robin Van Persie grabbed 7 points at Bolton. Villa pair Ashley Young and Kyle Walker bagged 7 points between them.

Gameweek 35 Preview
Having made no transfers last week, Chris will have two free trades this week. With Man City players strong on many radars, a home tie with West Ham could be tempting, particularly ahead of next week’s double.

Big names here include Wayne Rooney and Nani squaring up to Van Persie’s Gunners, the above-mentioned Chelsea trio at home to Spurs, Leighton Baines at Wigan and Ashley Young travelling to West Brom.

Kevin Havelock

Beyond Havoc

Fantasy Football Scout Ranking #2 Overall FPL Ranking #4

Last Week’s Score 69pts
Kevin breaks into our top five this week and, similar to Chris, also had a Chelsea trio to thank, as Luiz, Cole and Malouda brought home 26 points. He also tripled up on Spurs players, but Van der Vaart, Bale and Dawson harvested just 7 points in total. Only one double gameweek player -Robert Huth- graced the team, but having been handed the captain’s armband, the Stoke centre half brought home a haul of 20 points. Van Persie and Charlie Adam added to the haul.

Gameweek 35 Preview
Having drafted Huth in for Leighton Baines last week, Kevin has just one free transfer this time round. There are no Man United players in the squad, an interesting tactic ahead of the leaders upcoming (ars, CHE) games.

With Spurs travelling to Chelsea, there are six players in the squad for this one fixture alone, though the likes of Dawson will surely be benched. Van Persie and Nasri face Man United, Andy Carroll (if fit) squares up against old club Newcastle and Aleksander Kolarov has an appealing home game against West Ham.

Kenny Coffey

Castel di Sangro

Fantasy Football Ranking #3, Overall FPL Ranking #15

Last Week’s Score 98pts
Our second new entry, Kenny fielded just the two double gameweek players, but that’s all he needed; captain Clint Dempsey and Robert Huth brought home 46 points between them. Florent Malouda and David Luiz grabbed 17 points at home to West Ham, Edwin Van der Sar and Van Persie picked up 7 points each, and Darren Bent pitched in with 6 with a goal against Stoke.

Gameweek 35 Preview
With no transfers last week, Kevin has two trades to play with; will he field four starters at the Emirates? At present, Van der Sar, Nani and Wayne Rooney travel to Van Persie’s Arsenal, Dempsey travels to Sunderland, Malouda and Luiz square up to Spurs while Bent travels to West Brom.

Patrick Tyrrell

Scalachis Allstars

Fantasy Football Scout Ranking #4, Overall FPL Ranking #16

Last Week’s Score 76Pts
Captain Clint Dempsey saved the week for Patrick, his 36 points returning almost half he team’s total. Frank Lampard bagged 11 points, Luiz and Van Persie both picked up 7, and Charlie Adam and Joey Barton grabbed 5 apiece.

Gameweek 35 Preview
Last week saw one transfer- Nani out for Dempsey, so there’s just the one free trade this week. Lampard and Luiz will take on Spurs at home, Leighton Baines travels to Wigan, while Peter Odemwingie and Yaya Toure have favourable home ties with Aston Villa and West Ham respectively.

Utkarsh Dalmia

Team Zophar

Fantasy Football Ranking #5, Overall FPL Ranking #18

Last Week’s Score 85pts
Utkarsh was another of our top five to captain Clint Dempsey and with Huth his other double gameweek player, gained a fantastic 46 points from the two. Doubling up on the Chelsea defence paid dividend, with Terry and Luiz picking up 13 points between them against West Ham. Van Persie grabbed 7 at Bolton, and both Charlie Adam and Wayne Hennessey chalked up 5 each.

Gameweek 35 Preview
Like Patrick, Dempsey-in was last week’s transfer, leaving Utkarsh with one free trade for gameweek 35. Rooney and Nani go head to head with Van Persie and Walcott, and the two Chelsea defenders are joined by Didier Drogba against Spurs. That’s seven players contesting two games. Will they all be risked? Elsewhere, Yaya Toure plays West Ham, Dempsey visits Sunderland and Charlie Adam hosts Huth‘s Stoke.

    Cech
    Huth Carr Luiz Walker
    Dempsey Adam A Young Lampard
    Rooney RVP
    subs: Harper, Olsson, Barton, Zamora

    Don't have much in the coffers. Was thinking maybe Luiz/Zamora > Flanagan/Balotelli and then probably drop Huth or Walker. Any suggestions welcome

            Or they're all following quite a strict strategy. Agree its likely multiple accounts are involved. Given the name, though, they could be using an evolutionary algorithm to pick players based on stats, which is pretty cool if you're a geek. Maybe they're post grad computer science/ AI students having a bit of fun!

              looking at it i'm convinced it's multiple accounts but you may be right about the algorithm. It would be incredibly time consuming properly managing over 40 teams so it would make sense if it's someone that's written a program to make all the decisions.
              No kudos for being ranked 20th when he has other teams ranked 100k though 😉

        Can't quite afford him to Silva. Have been thinking Yaya all week, but suddenly I fancy Silva more.

        Odem will outscore until the end though right?

        And you don't fancy and Liverpool this week? I feel like I'm going to regret not having any coverage.

        Change your strategy... in my opinion hits are essential in dgw time!

        They allow you to improve your team with very low risk since the extra game offsets the hit considerably (or often completely). It basically means if your new player is likely to do even 1 point better in the remaining games, its worth it.

          Agreed and I have come round to thinking the same. It has cost me in places particularly in gwk 24 where those cheeky young scamps, Zophar and Camzy leapt above me 🙁

          I've only done one hit all season and that was in gwk 31 where I bought in Adam, Luiz and Lampard before the dgw and that has certainly worked out well pts wise with the players I booted (Nani, Nolan and Kolarov).

          However, back to the above: I think outside of Tevez, everyone else at Citeh represents a risk. They all score betwixt 2-4 pts and who you put your money on, is a real gamble. Only 1 Citeh needed imo.

        I'm normally with you on that, only taken 3 hits all season, but feel like radical changes are needed to see me through the enxt couple of weeks. No Liverpool coverage and no city forwards could hurt me a lot, and Odem has been hurting me for too long to stay out any longer.

      Rooney or nani would be hopeful rather than expectant. Manu arent good away from home and will be playing to contain arsenal and counter attack. The only bonus is arsenals home fans are so negative they act as a 12th man for the wrong team!

      Van persie is never a terrible captain choice.

      Silvia is a reasonably safe choice but no fireworks.

                he wasn't rested he was injured, and still is. They're going to give him a last minute fitness test to see if he can make it but I think even if he's passed fit he may start from the bench. Surely maxi will get another start on the back of a hat-trick.
                Tough decision though, if we don't get any more news on carroll then I'd probably start walters tbh.

        I know his fixtures are bad, but I'm not keen on doubling up. I think his rotation risk might make me do it.

      If you feel that Kolarov will play in each of the next 3 games, then go for it. I personally think we are past the point for trading defenders. Better imo to get the mid/fwd with a nice fixture that gwk.

        You're right, but I just think City's fixtures are too good to pass up defensively for the rest of the season. Also, I'm getting Silva next week.

          I can see Wet Spam notching though at Eastlands. They do attack teams even though the quality of their shooting lets them down. I see in previous games, they have often scored at Citeh.

      To me, Kol is only slightly better than RJ this week, so I would wait a week, avoids red card, injury situation to Kol.. then make two free including Kol next week or maybe consider Lescott if you have the cash. IMO. good luck. Trinidad cool.

        I know New Castle were home against Utd in week 33 but they played a pretty tight D... if they replicate that Liverpool could be in for a long day.

          depends if manutd play 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 and if they really go for the match bcoz they just need a draw and it could be a low scoring game as well and i have changed my mind by typing this comment go for chesney now :mrgreen:

            Thing is I have Roonpig so that puts me off Szczczzers. Then again I have Adam and that puts me off Begovic.

            I can see The Roonpig scoring in this game so I'm moving towards Bergovic.

      So I'm definitely getting a City defender, but I'm a bit worried about Kolarov's rotation risk..should I be?

        Chelsea are weird this season. I don't know where I stand with them! Carlo unsurelotti isn't helping me bring their players in! Malouda should've been player of the season if they stuck to their proper formation.

          Malouda is brilliant in Metro: gets 60 points every week! No idea what for, mind.
