Mondogoal GW31 – Donate for Doosra Contest

Earlier this week, Mondogoal 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.

The special contest takes place over this coming Gameweek. It’s £5 to enter, you can enter more than one team right up until 12.35 on Saturday.

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 May 16.

If you select a team for that, you may want to enter it in Mondogoal’s big £30,000 World Championship: a contest that will run on the final day of the season, awarding £10,000 to the winner.

How Does it Work?

So far, 71 qualifiers have gone forward to the final Gameweek contest, with 99 places still up for grabs. To qualify, you need to win one of Mondogoal’s £30k qualifying contests – you can enter these for just £2.

How Do I Enter?

Mondogoal are running three more qualifying contests this weekend. You have until 12.35 on Saturday to select you line-up for either the £2, £10 or £50 contests.

The more you lay down with your 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 £50 stake 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 line-up with the click of a button.

Having multiple teams will obviously increase your outlay but, with the ability to block out defences, you’ll certainly be increasing your chances of hitting a big score.

Once you’ve created your squad for one contest, go to your list of entries, click on a contest and then click “Enter This Line-up in Other Contests”.

FF Scout Gameweek 31 Picks

You’ll find our line-ups in Doosra’s contest and the Championship Qualifiers this week, as we continue our quest to seal an entry into Mondogoal’s final day event.

Our current line-up looks to be a well-balanced XI, set up in the familiar 3-4-3 formation.

We’ve opted to spend on Branislav Ivanovic in our defence at home to Stoke, a pricey purchase enabled by Kasper Schmeichel’s exceptionally kind 3.5 million tag for his home tie with West Ham. Ryan Taylor is our surprise package in defence – he looks an assured starter for the Wear-Tyne derby and we’re selecting him on the basis of his set-piece delivery and the memories of his deadball winner in the encounter back in 2011.

In midfield, we’ve stuck with the goal-getting, foul-drawing potential of Eden Hazard, despite his hugely inflated 19.1 million valuation. Luckily, Marouane Fellaini and Yannick Bolasie both come cheap to make up the numbers, while we’ve also opted for Andros Townsend off the back of his wonder strike for England in the week – he’ll take his goal threat to Burnley at the weekend and we’re backing him to produce again.

With Townsend providing the Spurs cover, up front, we’ve gone for Sergio Aguero over Harry Kane. We’ve partnered the Argentine with a pair of differentials in Bafetimbi Gomis and Saido Berahino – the duo boast strong home fixtures and are up against defences that should grant them shots aplenty.

As always, we’ll be tinkering with our lineups right up until deadline at 12.35, ahead of the opening fixture in the Gameweek at the Emirates.
