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.

Click here to enter.

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.

Get involved here.

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

    Defence is Clyne, Terry, Dawson, Naughton, Bellerin.

    Transfer out?

    (1) Bellerin
    (2) Dawson

    Transfer in?

    (A) Schlupp
    (B) Alderwield

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 days ago

      This week? Longer term 1 for B for me. i can't bring myself to have a Lei defender, however much he attacks.

    2. Chinu
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Surely 1 for B

  4. FionnMac
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Asking again cos I need some help! 2FT and £1.5m in the bank. Ideas for this week, and what to do with Austin next week after the DGW? I have my WC that I plan to use in GW34 or 35.

    Myhill
    Bellerin Clichy Ivanovic
    Hazard Eriksen Silva Cazorla
    Kane Austin Aguero

    Bench - (Foster) Clyne, Ameobi, Dawson

    My options:

    A. Clichy>Naughton
    Caz>Siggy this week
    then:
    Austin>Costa next week (exact money only if Austin rises!)

    B. Bellerin>Naughton and then reasses next week with 2FT

    Thoughts?

    1. Chinu
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 days ago

      B

    2. Snibal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 days ago

      I'd go B. May want to get Hutton instead of Naughton?

    3. Fabtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 days ago

      I'm facing a similar decision this week.

      Currently I have 2FT and 2.3m in the bank:

      Pants
      Terry Clyne Bellerin
      Hazard Eriksen Silva Sanchez
      Kane Austin Aguero

      Bench: PVA, Boyd, Bruce

      My thoughts this week:
      Bellerin > Naughton
      Sanchez > Siggy

      Then Austin > Costa next week, which seems very similar to you. I can't see Sanchez/Caz doing more than Siggy over the next three fixtures. Arsenal have a blank, Burnley away and Liverpool at home. Swansea have Hull and Everton at home and Leicester away - surely time for Siggy to capitalise?

      1. FionnMac
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 days ago

        I'll look at your post properly later when I have time (heading out now) but just on first glance, have you considered playing PVA over Clyne? Triggerlips was making a case for it on his blog (not saying it's correct move)

        Just glancing again I think those moves above look very sound

        1. Fabtastic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 days ago

          No problem. I've never been an advocate of 'doubling up' from one team. because I've got Pants covering Sunderland, I'm happy to back Southampton at a goal-shy Everton without much creativity - especially if Lukaku misses out.

          Not sure if you've thought about things longer term, but when it gets to this stage of the season I always look ahead. Our teams look very similar so it may be worth sharing my thoughts. I'll look at getting Sanchez and Giroud back in for Arsenal's double. Probably at the expense of Eriksen and Costa once Chelsea's double and good fixtures are out the way. Look at upgrading Siggy to Coutinho if Liverpool get the double gameweek.

          1. FionnMac
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 4 days ago

            Do you have your WC? I plan to WC in GW35 to get my Arsenal/Liverpool cover back. Should have 3 Chelsea for the DGW

            1. Fabtastic
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 4 days ago

              Unfortunately not - so I have to strategically plan

  5. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Myhill
    Kos, Bert, Cressy
    Haz, Mata(c), Eriksen, Silva
    Kun, Kane, Sakho

    Save the FT?(2.3m itb)

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 days ago

      id be so tempted to get tekkers or aussie in

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Can't get rid of Sakho though, got me 9 points last week and has lei/STO next.

        Right?

        1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
          • 14 Years

        2. Cahill
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 days ago

          id be tempted to get a DGW striker for him

        3. FionnMac
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 days ago

          Absolutely save

  6. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Had 2FT and have no DGW players this GW.

    Instead did
    Zouma and Sanchez out and Ivan and Siggy in

    Banking the extra cash to upgrade Giroud to Costa before the real DGW. Hope this pays off fingers crossed and good luck 1 and All!

  7. JariL
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Play two of:

    A) Fonte (eve)
    B) Rose (bur)
    C) Zouma (STK)
    D) PVA (NEW)

    Thanks!

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years

      Zouma, Rose

    Thoughts:

    Pants
    Kosc Rose PVA
    Sanchez Hazard Silva Eriksen
    Aguero Giroud Kane

    Boyd Bertrand Dawson

    2FTs:

    Dawson & Sanchez -> Ivanovic & Mane?

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Sounds good, maybe Siggy over Mane?

      1. Cahill
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 days ago

        thanks...im tossing up between the 2! i think swansea might fizzle out!? is siggy on pens?

        also, dump PVA or dawson? WB fixtures not great

        1. Captain Shirokov
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 days ago

          Nobody knows who's on pens for Swansea, either Gylfi or Gomis you would think.

          I think PVA, tbh.

  9. Magerost
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Torn up what Im gonna do this week.
      2 FT and 2.6 in bank.

      Panti(Foster)
      Hutton,PVA,Naughton(Aldy,Fonte)
      Haz,Eriksen,Sanchez,Silva(Lucas)
      Aguero,Kane,Austin(C)

      Aguero->Costa is tempting but the uncertainty of Costa starting is putting me off.
      Foster->who? is also a transfer im considering.

      Correct lineup and other smart transfers I can do. Looking to save one I think.

    • Knekke Brød
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 days ago

      With which Swansea player would you play this GW?

      3-4-3 with Ki or

      4-3-3 with Naughton?

      1. Chinu
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 days ago

        With Naughton

      2. Captain Shirokov

      A lot of points but I think it'll be worth it. Thoughts?
      If not, what to do with this team?

      Forster - Hamer
      Jones, Zouma, Bellerin, Alder, Fonte
      Hazard, Alexis, Coutinho, Downing, Walters
      Kane, Aguero, Giroud

      ok in order to fund Austin to Costa next week

      a) save transfer and sell Sanchez to a Palace mid next week
      b) Sanchez to Fellaini
      c) Sanchez to Silva and sell Eriksen to a Palace mid next week for a hit

    • Red Star Toro

      I was quite sure Austin (C) hype will be much stronger but apparently Kun/Kane/Hazard seem to be more popular choices. Wow.
