The weekend saw six more qualifiers throw their hat into the ring for the biggest prize in weekly Fantasy Football, as the race for Mondogoal’s £30,000 World Championship picked up pace.

How Does it Work?

In the final Gameweek of the season, Mondogoal will crown their first World Champion and they will go away with a huge £10,000 top prize.

So far, 11 qualifiers have gone forward to the final Gameweek contest, with 159 places still up for grabs. To qualify, you need to win one of Mondogoal’s £30k qualifying contests – you can enter these for as little at £2 – less than the price of a pint, particularly where I live.

Gameweek 24 saw six more qualifiers progress, with the average score totaling just 82.64 in a low scoring Gameweek. Interestingly, five of those six teams lined up with a 3-4-3 formation and, not surprisingly, it was Harry Kane’s haul of 20.31 points that helped decide the contests.

How Do I Enter?

Mondogoal are running three more qualifying contests for the midweek Gameweek. You still have until 7.35pm to select you lineup for either the £2, £10 or £50 contests.

Bear in mind, the more you stake, the more chance you have of making it through, with just 22 teams competing in the £10 contest and only five duking it out in the high-rolling £50 contest.

If you’re consistent with your picks you may even be able to progress with more than one team – you can have up to ten entries in the Championship final come May.

Don’t forget, you can enter multiple contests with the same Mondogoal lineup with the click of a button. Once you’ve created your squad for one contest, go to your list of entries, click on a contest and then click “Enter This Lineup in Other Contests”.

FFS Gameweek 25 Picks

We’re going all out to get our Fantasy Football Scout squad in the Championship final come May 24 and we’d love to see some of the community in the hat alongside us.

From Gameweek 26, Granville and I will also be entering individual teams in the Championship and in a new Fantasy Football Scout challenge league. Look out for details of that next week.

For now, here’s the current lineup to carry our hopes into tonight’s £2 and £10 Qualifying contests….

gw25

As you can see, we’re banking on a Sunderland clean sheet against with sorry QPR turning up at the Stadium of Light without Charlie Austin. We’re pretty confident for this one – cocky enough to even consider loading up with three Black Cats defenders. We may still explore that option, particularly in the unlikely event that Laurent Koscielny is rested in order to give Gabriel Paulista his Arsenal debut against Leicester.

In midfield, with reports growing that Raheem Sterling could be out of this evening’s clash against Spurs, we’re currently backing Philippe Coutinho despite some minor concerns on his fitness – like the Koscielny situation, we’ll have the teamsheets available to verify that pick before the Mondogoal deadline. Marouane Fellaini is a gamble but, at just 6.9 million, one worth taking given his role in recent United performances – we’re backing him to get a start against Burnley at Old Trafford.

Up front, we’ve confidence in both Olivier Giroud and Jermain Defoe, while budgetary restrictions mean that we’ve had to seek out a cheap option to complete the strike force. Villa may have scored just a single goal in their last seven league outings but they are up against a Hull side who are also plunged into a run of miserable form – that’s enough to recognise that Gabby Agbonlahor could offer value at just 4.4 million. Differentials don’t come more gutsy that that.

Of course, our lineup is subject to change. We’ll be exploiting tonight’s teamsheets to tinker further.

Get you lineup together and in the hat to take us on. You’ll find the FFS squad in both the £2 and £10 contests tonight, whilst we’ve also got an entry in the £5 contest offering a £1000 prize pot. Head on over to Mondogoal to get involved now.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    How would you rate the Arsenal miss? Im thinking:

    Sanchez
    Theo
    Özil
    Cazorla
    Ramsey

    with very little separating özil from caz, could easily be caz ahead of özil imo.

    Any objections?

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hehe Arsenal mids*

    2. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Welbeck is somewhere in that list, even though he is a striker. Bit of a benching nightmare.

      1. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        true

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez Cazorla Ozil Ramsey Theo

    4. Voodoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      would go along with that at present.

  3. Rupert The Horse

    Lets just say Bellerin doesn't play, who shall I get in for Debuchy?

    a. Should | splash out on Koscielny?
    b. Get a Hull defender for their fixtures (maybe Dawson).
    c. Double up on Sunderland defence. (I have PVA)

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Yes - Monreal?
      No

      1. Rupert The Horse

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          Would you consider Monreal?

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Quite a differential. Started 6 games in 7 but do you thin he's at risk from Gibbs.

    2. OShaughnessy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      d. Use your bench & save the transfer for the upcoming DGWs
      e. WBA defender

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Those are not options Im afraid.

          f. Buy chicken (or you're a horse, so maybe just borrow one from the farmer?), place bird feed on your keyboard & allow your fowl friend to peck out the best option for you.

    Seems like it's just problem after problem since playing my Jan WC early! Any help on what to do next guys?

    Forster, 4m
    Ivan, Bertrand, wisdom, Baird, Wasi
    Hazard, Cazorla, Silva, Sterling, Boyd
    Kun, Kane, Giroud

    £2m and 1 FT.

    Who do I need to ship first and for who? Probably prepared to do a hit tonight too.

    Afternoon lads. Really struggling with captaincy option this gw.

    Currently on caz? Thoughts?

    1. Voodoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez

    2. Toonzie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      giroud or alexis if he starts

    3. chrisjdgrady
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Well depends on rest of your team but Caz a decent punty pick I think. Someone on arsenal bound to get a haul

    4. The Chosen One...
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      when in doubt i always go Hazard

    5. Old Man

      He might be rested - choose your VC wisely!

      There are lots of options this week. Should be interesting.*

  11. hankscorpio
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What with the news of sterling possibly out not sure what to do. Thinking it's going to be a low scoring week so wary of taking a hit

    Wisdom already a doubt as starter and Cameron coming in against City isn't ideal

    If sterling doesn't start either then Boyd be coming in

    Is it worth doing for -4 Sterling/wisdom --> manè + defensive upgrade?

    or just hold and stick with subs bench no matter what.

    1FT 0.1 ITB
    Foster
    Wisdom terry PVA (Cameron wasil)

    What's the scenario the following the Villa v Leicester match?

    If Villa win does that present a DGW 28? What if Leicester win?

    Sorry for the dumb question!

    Sterling out is strange. From what Twitter lot say, he doesn't have a knock. A contract was agreed and he was set to sign, but his agent wants more £.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yep so last night someone posted sterling was not fit on twitter, rodgers however said he should be fine

      weird one

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years

      is he confirmed out? or all just rumours atm

    3. Kurtinho
      • 11 Years

      He quite clearly took a knock vs Everton.

    4. Somalion

      And from what the real world says, he's out and he's not agreeing to or signing anything. 😉 😛

    Thinking about Sterling to Mane ( will give me the option of Silva to Yaya next week )

    I'm also struggling with who to bench and thinking Clyne and Wisdom

    Krul
    Bellerin PVA Zouma (Clyne and Wisdom)
    Mane Silva Sanchez Hazard ( Moses )
    Kane Aguero Giroud

    thoughts ??

      I like all those ideas.

      I'd bench Zouma - I wouldn't want his 30 minutes from the bench 😛

    Will Pelle continue with a 442 you think? Push Silva out wide or try a different formation?

      Hard to say.

      Would be smart to play 4231 IMO, but he clearly favours the 4222.

      I think he might try something else.

    Who to bench from this front 8?

    Haz sanchez silva adm mane
    Aguero giroud kane

    1. ILOVEBAPS

      ADM

    2. Andy1

      Mane

    3. Gooner97

      Mane

    4. Lucy.

      The front three are unbenchable, given the first's ability, the second's fixture and the latter's form.

      I'd bench Silva. Most will say Mané but 4 in 4 starts makes me keen (and my obvious Southampton bias).

    5. HurriKane

      ADM based on form but then again he has potential to score big at home to burnley

      Thanks guys. Kane on paper, adm on form. Silva the hunch.

      Will probably be saved when giroud gets unexpectantly rested

    If Sanchez is included in the squad but starts on the bench (and you were going to captain him originally), who are you picking instead?

    1. SW6

      Hazard

      Gru

    If we assume Sterling is out (we will know the lineup...), worth using a FT to bring in Mane... or bench him and play a defender?

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Depends what defenders you have available?

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        PVA, Clyne, Terry, Bellerin, Naughton

        1. Lucy.
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I'd play a defender.

          1. Yome
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            OK, cheers. That is what I think also

        2. womf

          Looks like we'll be playing the exact same defense if Sterling is out!

    Sterling -> Silva for FT?
