With three gameweeks left as we approach the climax of the 2010/11 season, our Fantasy Football Scout Top 5 sees no new entries, although third and fifth have swapped places, as Team Zophar moves up at the expense of Castel di Sangro. Chris McGurn, our overall leader, has climbed to the top of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) tree, sitting proudly at number one in the world, a single point ahead of the chasing pack.

Chris McGurn

Morons FC

Fantasy Football Scout Ranking #1 Overall FPL Ranking #1

Last Week’s Score 54 pts
Two free transfers saw David Silva and Yaya Toure drafted into midfield, with Nani and Jamie O’Hara leaving the ranks. The Man City pair returned 9 points in the home game against West Ham, Leighton Baines contributed 11, captain Frank Lampard scored 16 to compensate for the Chelsea pair John Terry and David Luiz picking up just 3 points between them in their home match with Spurs. Robin Van Persie also helped Chris’ score along, with his assist in the Gunners win over Man United, earning the Dutchman 5 points.

Gameweek 36 Preview
Last week’s two trades gives Chris a couple of players for the final gameweek of the season, with Silva and Toure travelling to Baines’ Everton before facing Spurs at home. Will he grab some Tottenham cover for the home match with Blackpool though? Elsewhere, his Chelsea trio travel to Old Trafford to face Wayne Rooney’s Man United, Van Persie goes to Stoke and Ashley Young plays host to Wigan.

Kevin Havelock

Beyond Havoc

Fantasy Football Scout Ranking #2 Overall FPL Ranking #4

Last Week’s Score 50 pts
A 4-point hit saw Robert Huth and Nani out for Dirk Kuyt and Joleon Lescott, with the Liverpool man grabbing the captain’s armband for a 26 point return. Doubling up on both the Chelsea and Man City defences failed to pay off, with 8 points returned from four defenders. Rafael Van der Vaart joined Van Persie in picking up 5 points, but Andy Carroll missed out on the goal action, coming off the Liverpool bench to earn a single point.

Gameweek 36 Preview
Kevin has five double gameweek players already: Lescott, Kolarov, Bale, Dawson and Van der Vaart. With three defenders playing twice, he’ll be hoping for clean sheets aplenty, particularly in the Man City-Spurs game at Eastlands. Florent Malouda, David Luiz and Ashley Cole visit Man United, though possibly both defenders will be benched. Kuyt and Carroll are off to face Fulham, as Van Persie travels to Stoke.

Utkarsh Dalmia

Team Zophar

Fantasy Football Ranking #3, Overall FPL Ranking #13

Last Week’s Score 62pts
A four point hit saw Dirk Kuyt and David Silva replace Nani and Clint Dempsey and it paid off for Utkarsh; Kuyt grabbed the armband for 26 points and Silva bagged 7. Robert Huth picked up 6 points to make up for Terry and Luiz’s combined total of 3, while Didier Drogba managed 9 at home to Spurs, with Van Persie’s 5 adding to the mix.

Gameweek 36 Preview
Last week’s successful points hit seems to have inspired Utkarsh, as he made two trades early on this week. Silva and Toure are already in the bag for the double gameweek, surely some Spurs coverage has been transferred in? Drogba and Rooney square up at Old Trafford, though it’s debatable whether the Chelsea defenders see the starting XI. Huth and Van Persie go head to head at the Brittania, with Kuyt at the Cottage.

Patrick Tyrrell

Scalachis Allstars

Fantasy Football Scout Ranking #4, Overall FPL Ranking #15

Last Week’s Score 54 Pts
Bacary Sagna made way for Aleksander Kolarov in the only trade of the gameweek. With half the team scoring 2 or less, some big points hauls saved the day; Leighton Baines’ 11, captain Lampard’s 16, Van Persie’s 5 and Peter Odemwinigie grabbed 6 in the home win over Aston Villa.

Gameweek 36 Preview
Yaya Toure and Kolarov are the two double gameweek players so far, though some Spurs coverage is surely to be expected from Patrick. With as many as 4 players lining up for the Newcastle-Birmingham match, it’ll be interesting to see how he plays it. Lampard and Luiz face Man United, Odemwingie goes to Wolves, Van Persie’s at Stoke, while Kevin Davies plays host to Sunderland, meaning all three forwards are away from home. A tough weekend ahead?

Kenny Coffey

Castel di Sangro

Fantasy Football Ranking #5, Overall FPL Ranking #20

Last Week’s Score 46pts
Out went Nani and Robert Huth as David Silva and Aleksander Kolarov came in for Kenny’s two free trades. Silva grabbed the armband and returned 14 points, though the next best scorer was Charles N’Zogbia with 6. Van Persie’s 5 was matched by Phil Jones but it was a disappointing gameweek otherwise, with Ben Foster’ 4 and Charlie Adam’s 3 the only other scores above 2 points.

Gameweek 36 Preview
Kenny is another without Spurs cover as of yet, with Silva and Kolarov his double gameweek players. He’ll need N’Zogbia to be fit for the trip to face Darren Bent and Kyle Walker’s Aston Villa. Wayne Rooney and Edwin Van der Sar will face off against Malouda and Luiz, with Van Persie at Stoke and Charlie Adam facing Spurs.

      Walcott is playing for me, arsenal have so many injuries I don't think he will be subbed.

    Final wc team for this game-week

    Szczesny

    Kolarov - Cahill - Dawson

    VDV - Modric - Silva - Sessegnon

    Van Persie - Odem - Bent

    SUBS Mignolet/Fabio/Malouda/Luiz

    Heavy on spurs players but I'll ship out Modric & Bent next week for Henendez (maybe) and another midfielder up to 10.5 mil, leaves me with an ok team for the last 2 weeks (I hope)

        Ahhh was looking at Lescott over Kolarov but just thought about the attacking potential (hmm think you might have convinced me to change actually) I thought Sunderland have ok fixtures for the last 2 weeks so wanted some coverage, if Sessegon is playing up front thought its an gamble worth taking?

          sunderland look woeful. i dont fancy them to even create chances, let alone score a goal. kolarov is prone to rotation with micah richards back. its basically lescotts occasional header + assured starts VERSUS kolarovs assist/goal-that-never-comes.

            Ah. The Kolarov "potential" again.

            Makes me smile that people are bringing him in when his "potential" has always been just that.

            We live in hope, but Kolarov is the epitomy of despair.

    Ok, who is the best Spurs striker to get?

    They have by far and away the best odds of more than 2 goals being scored in their match, and I'd like more exposure to Spurs' attack than just captain VDV.

    Leaning towards Defoe at the moment.

        For Jinswick to make up 65 points it's going to take a huge risk like Defoe as Captain or something like it to catch up-- Odem is also a possibility, but his streak is amazing and long already. His rival has Bent who is a favorite to score as is whichever TOT striker . best of luck .

          Yeah i need to take big gambles now - rival has no doubles but looks like he has done Nani -> VDV and I assume will captain him. Toying with Fabs & Welbeck -> Yaya & Defoe. If so, would you stick with VDV as captain or give to Defoe?

          Just ignore the teamsheets.

          If they knew who was going to start then any surprises would be splashed all over the back pages.

          Exactly, no way to tell, but I am thinking Defoe. (I do not have any TOT striker and it's too risky to get one IMO-- unless you need a hail mary pass)

          Others think Crouch since he sat the Chelsea game on the bench.

        Thanks for the advice. Of all the options I was thinking were in the possible pile, there was something to dislike about them all. And I guess if you are struggling with picking the bench players as it is then doing nothing for a week might be a good idea.

      Very close question. Very strong team, slight weakness at goalie, that would be the alternative- Gomes for Al Habsi-- that I would consider. Silva in now is a risk of playing only one game, Nani might help you more in GW37/38, but he is out of form. I just haven't gotten on the Kol wagon.

        My guess would be to possibly trade out Nani next GW if ManUtd sew up the title, but if they don't then Chelsea/ManU stocks will be trending up with a bullet? So it could be getting in a Rooney and/or Malouda.

          My thoughts exactly. I have Drogs, Luiz and Terry at the moment and am happy with that. If Man U don't beat them this week though then for anyone with Nani and Rooney then my advice would be to hold on to them. Expensive to bench but would be worth it (probably). 🙂

      Nice one Mr Hump.

      Turn up out of the blue with no team linked, no advice for anyone else and demand a rationale to answer your question?

      A winner. 🙂
