Lincoln Cityโ€™s shock FA Cup win over Burnley has handed Fantasy managers an extra match to plan for ahead of Gameweek 28, with the Claretsโ€™ visit to Liverpool now guaranteed.

One of only eight sides set to offer us a fixture in each of the next three Gameweeks, Jurgen Kloppโ€™s men also face a favourable trip to Leicester City next Monday evening.

With the Alexis Sanchez exodus in full flow after Arsenal clinched a spot in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Monday night, thus depriving the Gunners of matches in Gameweek 26 and 28, we put the Merseysiders midfield options under the microscope.

First up, weโ€™ll look at how Kloppโ€™s attack is performing when compared with both the rest of the top-flight and their own season averages.

We then monitor the displays of their midfielders over each playersโ€™ respective last six matches, looking for signs of form at a time when many are turning to Sadio Mane on the back of his two-goal haul against Spurs last time out.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Stanislas > firmino worth a -4 this week?

    Good long term move?
    Already brought in Mané

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on team and GW26/28 situation.

  2. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez to Mane , hit?

  3. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Would you do Sanchez โžก Mane for -4 when you got Sanchez for 11m?

    Heaton
    Luiz, Coleman, Brunt, Holebas
    Sigurdsson, Barkley, Phillips, de Roon
    Kane, Defoe

    Pickford, Ibra (blank), SANCHEZ (blank), Amat (garbage)

    1. Ridcully
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      You'd think we might see more discussion concerning Mané to Sánchez.

      1. Ridcully
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Wrong person. Something went wrong.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Mane should outscore him by 4 over the next 3.

      1. Marc OverMata
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I think Cout will outscore Mane 3 out of next 4, but that seems like an unpopular opinion of late...

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Could easily happen. Cool kids will triple up

      2. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Thinking this, plus the only game Sanchez has in the next 3 is vs Liverpool and Mane

    3. MTPockets
        9 years, 2 months ago

        no

      • Ridcully
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Price would not be my concern. It could work, would you be selling Mané to buy Sánchez back? I rather sell someone else.

        1. PvA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Probably WC

          I'm messing my team up to hopefully get a nice rank boost over the blanks

          1. Ridcully
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            I'd probably make the move.

      • The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I look at this and it just makes me want to pick Phil even more as a differential...

        1. PvA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I don't see it myself. Easily cause heartbreak

    4. Marc OverMata
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      What's everyone's GW 28 team gonna be? Barring inj/sis of course and of course when City beat Hudd?

      I will use 1ft each of the next 2 gwsto get this 11...

      Foster
      Coleman/McCauley/Mawson
      Lallana/coutinho/siggy/t.davies/snoddy*
      Lukaku/Niasse*

      Heaton/alonso/Kane/walker

      only worry is Davies, but heh, can't complain and don't fancy taking a hit for anyone at that price range...

      1. Team looks OK for 28 but how you getting Sanchez and Ibra back?

        1. Marc OverMata
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Forgot to mention that I'll have 5.6 itb hving made the sanchez > snoddy in GW 28

    5. TorresMagic™

      So many goals in CL tonight ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        8 is the highest ever in a first leg

    6. Philman
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Great Scoutcast guys!

      Andy, Sanchez to Mane, Amat to Coleman, bench Mkhi for Bournemouth, then you have 2 GWs to decide on Firmy vs Cout ๐Ÿ™‚

      Don't you fancy Mkhi vs Bouremouth?

      P.s. I may be wrong ofc, go with you gut!

      1. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks bud! And for your nice comment in the chat that I can't reply too because YouTube chat is weird

        1. Philman
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          YouTube chat is indeed weird - a bit like you guys presenting to a big audience that are having their own conversations and making lots of noise. From our side though, we do feel more involved.

    7. Mane to Sanchez to go against the grain?

      1. Philman
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        And captain Sanchez in GW27? I like the way you think ๐Ÿ™‚

    8. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Heaton
      Alonso Evans Baines
      Eriksen Phillips Alli Snodgrass
      Rondon Lukaku (C) Ibrahimovic (!)

      Bench: Pickford, Sanchez (!), Cedric (!), Jones (!)

      2FT, 0.2M ITB

      Which moves would you make? Looks like I'll have to take a -4 for a full GW28 team.

    9. TOBY1
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sane or Sterling after GW28?

      1. Cars and Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Tough choice. Fortunately we don't have to make it for another few weeks.

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Too far away.

    10. I just woke from a dream that Hazard scored more points than Liverpool mids over the next 4.

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        definitely dreaming !

    11. Z
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Jaku, Heaton
      Alonso Baines Coleman Brunt Chambers
      Hazard Alli Siggy Snoddy Phillips
      Ibra Lukaku Campbell

      5.9ITB

      Anything worth a hit here?
      I need to launder some of this money.

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Our teams are so similar!

        No hit needed unless you can bring in a good replacement for Campbell

    12. Mayo for Sam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Best move here,

      A Sanchez > Mane
      B Stanislas > Coutinho

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I went with A

    13. Marquis-Cha-Cha
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      For a hit I can field this for the weekend:

      Foster
      Alonso / Pieters / Funes Mori / Robertson
      Siggy / Alli / Phillips / Fletcher
      Lukaku / Defoe

      Pick / Sanchez / Ibra / Valencia

      Yay, Nay or sell Sanchez like everyone else.

      1. MTPockets
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Personal choice. I haven't sold him yet.

      2. Aubaaaaa
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Heaton Pickford
        Alonso Coleman Baines Friend Maguire
        Sanchez Alli Siggy Mirallas Phillips
        Ibra Kane Crouch

        0FT 1.7ITB

        Sufficient for gw26 and should be able to get 10 for gw28. Only concern is mirallas' game time. Should I do Snodgrass for Mirallas for a hit? Worth it?

      3. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        How long are people holding onto Coleman? Lots of plum fixtures sandwiched inbetween tough fixtures.

        Going to be a hard one to time. When bad fixtures arrive, good ones are just around the corner.

        1. Cars and Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I imagine until after the Hull game.

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Everton have got Leciester and Burnley at home two games after Hull.

            1. Cars and Mané
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              True. But two very tough away games before them. I'd probably be wildcarding around that time anyway.

        2. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Maybe till the Doubles come round

        3. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I might double up on Everton defence ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
          Still an autopick probably until selling for good.

          1. Who you doubling up with? Coleman/Baines? Funes Mori?

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              FM + 1 possibly.

          2. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            When are you selling for good? I can't see a Window ... unless you do what numb suggests and wait for the double GWs.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Probably keeping unless the money is needed. Could play FM if I have found a good replacement.

        4. PvA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          No chance he's going. Bigger priorities unless you're on WC. This period is a big reason many got him - 0 blanks

          1. Numb
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Think you missed the point blud

      4. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Be interesting to see who gets player of the month. It's between Mane, Sigurdsson and Lukaku. Really comes down to who performs in their next game.

        1. MTPockets
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Mane/Lukaku have scored in one game of last 3/4.

            1. Lallana_
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Only 3 games this month total. These guys also don't have a blank next game.

        2. noquarternt
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Any chance of an FFScout FanTV akin to Arsenal FanTV? There's plenty of angry anti-Lukaku opinions and McAuley apologists on here to entertain. Entitled top 1K ORs moaning about casuals being spoon fed, angry gloating and lol@s.

          Could be a real ratings winner! Who's onboard?

          1. Numb
            • 11 Years

            They bein spoon fed innit blud

            You have it here without video/audio.

          4. Lallana_
            • 12 Years

            Who would be the equivalent to Claude and Ty?

            1. noquarternt
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              RuthNZ is always mired in controversy.

        3. Numb
          • 11 Years

          Sanchez dropping tomorrow is a pain

              True that tho

                • 15 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                Why wait if you are selling?

                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 2 months ago

                  Team news? Mysterious injury to incoming player?

                    • 15 Years
                    9 years, 2 months ago

                    Well that's the essence of the game, you gamble on availability or take the price changes. Can't have both, your choice ๐Ÿ˜‰

                    1. Numb

          City vs Hudds replay is at the Etihad right?

          Who do you want to be the semi finalists in the FA Cup FPL wise?

          1. noquarternt
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Whoever gives the biggest DGW mania. Arsenal Man U City and Spurs I guess.

          2. Numb
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Ars, Yernited, Boro and Spurs

          3. Cars and Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            I still don't really understand what the implications would be. It's all so far away.

            I'd quite like United and City to get there as seems that would cause some trouble.

            1. TorresMagic™

                • 9 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                Will they get a double GW at all then?

                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 2 months ago

                  No, they will just play less games overall.

                  1. The Bandit
                    • 15 Years
                    9 years, 2 months ago

                    ๐Ÿ˜€ Or maybe gw39 just for them?

                  9 years, 2 months ago

                  A blank = a DGW somewhere.

                  1. PvA
                    • 9 Years

                      Well they play FA Cup semi final in GW34 so play midweek after so no blank.

                      1. Numb
                        • 11 Years
                        9 years, 2 months ago

                        Is that midweek game confirmed?

            I want Chelsea to lose so we have a DGW 34 with WAT and SOT. Triple captaincy on Costa, Hazard or Alonso.

                Chelsea triple captain probably won't be an option in DGW37. Probably be champions by then.

                    I was definitely responsible for his lack of points... my advice to all would be bring in Benteke and avoid Maguire!

          Mane still a top pick though?

          Early prediction of Sanchez drop tomorrow on FFF. Twenty-five plus hours to make your plans for him if you want to avoid the fall.

          Might Jesus fall tonight? ( that sounds wrong on so many levels!) but I have held transferring him out for Lukaku until Lukaku confirmed fit. But if Jesus fall .1 cannot afford so wondering if should just do anyway ( he is - 93 on fix and - 90 on stats and falling v rapidly)

            I would just do it, can't see any reason why Lukaku won't play as his 'injury' does not seem
            remotely serious

          Anyone else keeping Sanchez and ibra over the two blank gws?? Iv full squad this gw and benching both. Havnt really thought about selling up to this point. Iv 2fts also and need to use one and was considering Alli to mane for the Leicester game and beyond .

            Would keep Ibra for Bournemouth in 27. If you can let Sanchez go and can get back week 29 or after then yes keep him
