As we announced in last night’s ScoutCast, our partners Mondogoal have very kindly launched a contest for this weekend in honour of Doosra’s ongoing recovery from illness.

For those who don’t know, Doosra has been a long standing and active member of the Fantasy Football Scout community for many years. He was recently taken ill and has been hospitilised for several weeks.

We’re delighted to hear recently that he is slowly edging his way back to recovery and we’re all optimistic of seeing his presence back on these pages in the coming months.

A few weeks back, Fantasy Football Scout successfully won Doosra a West Ham signed matchball in a Mondogoal contest. That aroused their interest and, on hearing on Doosra’s story, they very kindly put forward the concept of a special dedicated contest.

The contest takes place over this coming Gameweek. It’s £5 to enter, you can enter more than one team.

All proceeds from this contest will be distributed to Doosra’s family and/or charity of their choosing.

The winner of this contest will receive a special West Ham United Prize Pack that includes:

  • A West Ham United Team-Signed Jersey
  • A West Ham United Team-Signed Football
  • Match Tickets to see West Ham United v. Everton on the final home fixture of the season at Boleyn Ground on the 16th of May.

All fixtures from this matchweek are included, lineups lock at the start of the first match between Arsenal and Liverpool.

We’d love to see you involved and tussle for the right to win the West Ham goodies and perhaps also seek to donate these to Doosra and his family.

We’d like to thank Mondogoal for taking time to create this contest and for their donation.

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

    Pants Foster
    Terry Jones Bertrand bellerin cissokho
    Hazard silva Eriksen mane Walters
    Aguero kane Austin

    Brilliant idea will join in this
    But do I actually need to take WHU stuff if I won?
    Joking, would be perfect for charity golf event I am involved in. Double charity rewards

    Currently have a midfield of Hazard - Eriksen - Silva - Sanchez - Ameobi

    Is it worth shipping Sanchez and maybe taking a punt on Mane?

    Could use the funds to do Bellerin > Ivan (Have 2 FT's)

    Cheers 🙂

    Think I'll go with Kun(c)
    Kane due a blank (gulp!)
    Hazard safe but boring
    Giroud is still a donkey....
    Silva assists the assister
    Costa injury/Gametime?
    Austin, terrible team
    Bentekke - don't own would consider.

      Fair enough, I will too so 🙂

      Tempted as well, Monday night football and all. Pretty sure it will stay on Austin though.

      Worried Palace won't roll over . City have been poor . Aguero is off form. Pardew has done a decent job and if Austin scores in the first game it will be a long weekend .

    Top forwards in Europe since Jan 1st according to OptaPro/CIES Football Observatory

    1. Messi (Barcelona) 100
    2. Robben (Bayern) 92
    3. Dost (Wolfsburg) 77
    4. Suárez (Barcelona) 71
    5. Costa (Chelsea) 61

    11. Griezmann (A Madrid) 52
    12. Neymar (Barcelona) 51
    .....Giroud (Arsenal) 51
    .....Bacca (Sevilla) 51

    Ronaldo down in 29th, partly because he was injured for some of that time.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Did you or did you not post that because Costa is listed in 5th?

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Don't worry the same stats have Navas as the third best attacking mid in Europe .

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years

          That was my next point

        I posted it because I thought it was interesting and that some others might too.

        Is it true that you are a mod? If so I'd have thought you'd have better things to do than stalking me.

        1. Ginkapo FPL

            Rock off then.

            1. Gnu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years

              Surely you know he's not a mod?

      Needs more Menez

      ***** According to CIES, using OptaPro Data.

      As an acquaintance with some of the OptaPro guys this categorically not their ranking system, nor do they aim to be seen as having influenced rankings like this or WhoScored data. They're merely there to provide data and occasionally link up teams with stattos.

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        *WhoScored Ratings

    3. Ruth_NZ
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Now, this is interesting.

      My post was purely factual and informative. I attached no comment whatsoever.

      As it happens I went down to 12th because that's where Giroud is. The Opta/CIES rating of Costa, Kane and Giroud as the most in-form PL strikers might be of interest, I thought. And since the CL quarters happen soon I thought the relative placements of Messi, Robben, Suarez, Griezmann and Neymar might interest some as well - I find these kinds of assessment useful for FCL sometimes.

      Nothing so controversial there as far as I can see.

      Yet the only upvotes are for a snide comment from Ginkapo and another from Gnu (a particularly peculiar comment, seeing that there's no reason I would have asked if I had already known). I wonder who the upvotes were from. And I wonder why they were made.

      If someone wants to send me a message, don't be shy, and don't use code. Otherwise I might think that some cowards are involved.

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Full disclosure upvoted Adam Western because it was funny.

        And please they are Genuinely CIES ratings exclusively not OPTA/CIES. They may use Opta collected data, but Opta have no say in how CIES process them. FWIW a lot of people think CIES ratings are a lot of crap because they overvalue pitch time(see why English players are so high due to no international break) and hot performances on weak runs of fixtures. They don't scale things for schedule difficulty.

        So CIES ratings not Opta ratings. Opta actually do very little analytics of their own.

      Seems like a waste of two good defensive options every week.

      Just do 1. Free transfers are handy

    The crappy website wouldn't let me sign up :(.

    The pop up to join having chosen my team didn't let me scroll down to presumably where I should have clicked 'next'. Not happy. mondogoal sort it out!!

    Anyone not captaining a dgw player? (Assuming you have one)

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Dunno...Will Benteke have as many pops at goal in two matches as Aguero has in one ?...Austin might though.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I'd be surprised if any owners of Austin or Benteke didn't captain him. (Owners of both can do one) 😛

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          I only have Austin for DGW. Dunno who to (c) tbh.

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            We have the same front 7. No brainer imo

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years

              Sold...

      Me.
      Only got guzan. So think I'll look to a single. Don't really want any doubler either

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Fair enough.. I'd sure play him though

    3. gers23

      I was going to go Hazard over Austin?

    Does this sound crazy or viable?

    On WC:
    GW31: Austin, Benteke, Kane
    GW32: Aguero/Costa, Benteke, Kane
    GW33: Aguero, Costa, Kane

    1. sumatera
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      not keen on Giroud then?

      1. ViperStripes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        not with his fixtures

        1. sumatera
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          It's a decent plan then and it could pay off for you. you might find it hard to ditch strikers each week if they are scoring though

  13. baines is god
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Should I sell Baines? Looks like he's off penalty duties (Mirallas took the one on MNF and missed against West Brom) but then Lukaku scored one last gameweek against Newcastle. Too expensive without penalties? Any toffees understand the penalty situation? Cheers!

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He's been dead in the water for weeks.

    2. ViperStripes

      Ditch now!

    Thinking of ditching inconsistent Oz

    FAB
    IVAN CLYNE NAUGHTON
    OZIL HAZ ERIK SILVA
    KUN KANE GIROUD

    BENTALEB WILSON DAWSON

    Good to go or sell Ozil for a 4pt hit?

    1. The Bandit

      You reposted on another dead blog. Not worth a hit. Goodnight

          I'd save, you can easily save the FT next week and then use the 2 FT for GW 33 getting rid of ozil and giroud in my opinion

  16. gers23
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    What would you change in this midfield?

    Feel like i want Silva, Siggy and Mata lol

    Hazard Sanchez Erikson Mane

    1. Ruth_NZ
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez to Silva.

      Next week (or this week if you have 2 FTs) Aguero to Costa or Rooney.

      1. gers23
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I do have 2 frees.thanks for reply

  17. TorresMagic™

    Anyone here sell Alexis this week?

    1. gers23
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Feel like i want to but because my rival has him i have to keep 🙁

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      My head says keep him this week because there is no point in downgrading Sanchez until I can upgrade Austin to Costa without taking a hit

      1. thetinkerman
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Very much this. Going for the glamour move this week of Bellerin > Naughton 😎

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          I have Austin and Hutton already so I think I have enough dgw coverage so I am going to do nothing 😎

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I sold last week for ... Walcott. Was convinced he'd feature vs Newcastle!

      This week, he's gone for Mata. Have enough in the bank to do Austin -> Costa next gameweek.

  18. gers23
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Mane and Sanchez to Silva and Mata/Siggy? 2 frees

  19. Just A Wooden Spoon
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Completely stuck on what to do this week. Current squad:

    Panti, Hamer
    Terry, Ivanovic, Bertrand, Clyne, Dawson
    Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Eriksen, Boyd
    Aguero, Kane, Sakho

    2ft's and 0.1m ITB

    Don't want to lose the transfer but stuck on where to use it.

    Any areas of weakness that need addressing?

    1. Funkyav
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Why not downgrade Sanchez then you will have money in the bank for 2 transfers next week

      1. Just A Wooden Spoon
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Good call, ta matey

    2. gers23
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Sakho to Austin or Tekkers?

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez > Ozil/Mata
      Sakho > Benteke

      If you want to keep Sakho for the Leicester fixture, then Panti to Myhill or Davis, both of whom play in GW33.

      1. Just A Wooden Spoon
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Good moves that.

    Anyone have a problem signing up to Mondogoal and entering a team?

    I'm new to Mondogoal but thought it a great idea to donate to the Doosra/charity fund, so clicked on the link. I've created an account and deposited £5, but the site simply will not let me submit my team. On clicking "Enter Contest", I just receive the error:

    "Sorry, there was an error saving your entry. Our support team has been notified."

    2. Naughton, PVA, Clyne, Rose

    Currently at Myhill, PVA.

  23. xtina
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    i'm stumped this week! who do i change???

    2FTs 1.2 in bank

    Current team:

    Pantilimon

    Terry, Rose, Hutton, Wisdom, Bellerin

    Ozil, Cazorla, Haz, Silva, Boyd

    Aguero, Kane, Austin

  24. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Exactly who the hell are CPL going to play in front of their back four this week ?

    I really think City have a major problem heading their way with Zaha, Bolasie, Puncheon and Murray in such good form (especially if the City full backs go walkabouts as usual) but at the other end of the pitch it could get very ugly as well...

    High scoring match incoming...

  25. Just A Hat
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    This has been a well depressing 2 weeks, although in slightly better news I finally got offered a job and now I have a Tinder date on Friday

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Congrats Hat

  26. Saniul
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    2FT in hand, and not much I can change with the team without losing Sanchez/Aguero.

    Krul, (Ospina),
    Stones, Bertrand, Naughton, (PVA, Wollscheid),
    *Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Silva, (Lucas),
    Aguero, Austin, Kane.

    Sanchez to Mane/Mata, then?
    Stones becomes Ivanovic this week/next week.

    0.5 ITB,

    1. Artemon
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Could do Krul to Myhill? frees up a little bit more cash

  27. flippetyflop
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Guzan in for foster for -4 even if I have panti?

    1. Sweetpea
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Nope

    2. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't. Too risky. You'd need a Villa to keep one more CS than Sunderland this GW, and I don't think that will happen.

  28. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Panti or Schem this gw?

  29. Sweetpea
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Those doing Sanchez to Silva.

    Sanchez 11/10 and Silva 2/1 anytime scorer with pp...

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I can't bring myself to do it ... Yet

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Short odds for Sanchez n 2-1 on Silva is great odds vs cpl

    2. Clam. ☘️

      The bookies always win. They're in it to make money.

  30. Nerazzuro
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Erik vs Boyd for this GW?

    Surely has to be Erik right?

    Also, pick 2 of Yun (DGW), Clyne and Kos

    Thanks in advanced

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen yes

      Clyne and Kos.

      Last DGW, I think Yun had a TOTAL of 1 point.
