Today should be savoured – once the final whistles are blown, we wave goodbye to Fantasy Football for an excruciating few months – all the more reason to squeeze every bit of excitement out of Sunday’s action.

Fantasy Premier League is doubtless your main course but, if you’ve yet to try out FanDuel this season, we’ve set up one final exclusive contest to offer you an opportunity to get involved.

We hope to be partnering with FanDuel next season and we know that there is a good deal of the community who have played and enjoyed the game in its first term.

For today, you can register an account, make a deposit and take place in a Fantasy Football Scout contest that gives you the chance to humiliate both Jonty and myself for the chance to win £50 in cash.

This “Beat the Scout” contest is free to enter.

Just register, deposit some funds in your account for next season and pick your line-up.

Everyone who surpasses the score produced by the team that Jonty and I are putting together will be entered into a draw to win £50 in cash – that’s cash, not credit.

Those already registered can also take part but, if you are new to the game, be sure to soak up the Weekly Shop and FanDuel Focus articles published earlier in the week.

They should help you with the nucleus of your line-up, plus you can tweak once the teamsheets come out, right up until the 3pm kick-offs.

Our current line-up is below – although be warned – the discussion is ongoing and Kane is coming in.

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

    Start one:
    A)Vertonghen
    B)Monreal

  2. Offs!de
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who is less likely to start
    Hazard or Gabbi?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Haz

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say Gabbi with Austin and J Rod lurking

    3. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      But would put haz 30pc. Gabbi 50pc

    4. sk018
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gabbiadini

  3. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Costa --> Kane(c) for -4pts, Yay ot Nay

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If defending yes. If chasing no

    2. Quinny___
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No. This is Costas farewell match against a poor sunderland

  4. Darbs
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sticking with Gabbiadini, but with 8 points to make up do I take -4 to bring in Coutinho for Sterling?

    Ta.

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Has rival got Coutinho

      1. Darbs
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes. And Firmino. I have no Liverpool players.

  5. Quinny___
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How many total hits for the season did everyone take so. I made 48 transfers so 6 hits for a 64k rank and hopefully higher 🙂

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      8 hits for me, 4 in the last 4 gameweeks as didn't have a wildcard left

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      16 hits, -64

      5.5k rank

    3. Il Papera
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Made 74 transfers with 39 hits (yikes!) and sitting at 10410 as things stand. Did it to boost value wherever possible and it meant I could finish with a strong 15 with all the heavyweights.

    Hit me with questions. I'm here to help.

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is there a meaning to life?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation.

      2. BobBradleysOpportunity
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        ML titles perhaps

    2. 8ball
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Haz to Coutinho or
      Son to Coutinho (-4)

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        The latter. You don't want to go without Haz vs Sunderland.

    3. sk018
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Captain when chasing
      A) Sturridge
      B) Jesus

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sturridge!

    4. HD7
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hi 🙂

      Leader is within 3 points, was 100 points behind 3 weeks ago (small matter he has the bench boost but I I will give my best)

      My team: after Hazard to Coutinho

      Cech
      Alonso Kompany Yoshi Stephens
      Sanchez Coutinho Ali King
      Kane Jesus

      Subs: Pickford Gabbi Albrighton Smith

      Leader Team: (It shows he made 2 transfer, probably Coutinho again and maybe Kane to copy me...

      Cech
      Stephens Mawson Holding
      Sanchez Hazard Ali Sane Eriksen
      Jesus Kaku

      Subs: Jaku Barnes Tarkowski Smith

      Wondering if it is profitable to make Gabbi to Giroud for -4 and play 3-4-3 or just leave it like this ...

      Your suggestions in order to complete an epic win ?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Tough one. I would leave it as it is. Maybe play Albrighton to get a differential over him. If teams are too similar then it's advantage him.

        1. HD7
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I know. He was on one transfer but an hour ago it was 2... its good he takes a hit but Its essential he doesnt get Kane

    5. Lazerball
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How essential is coutinho?
      Do I transfer out alli or de bruyne to get him? Rest of my team looks good

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I would sell Alli if it was for free. If for hit then it is a no go.

    6. Sangomango
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gabbi to origi
      Or bench gabbi and play Yoshida instead

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Play Yoshi. Stoke are horrible away. He also has the goal threat.

    7. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A)Haz > cout/son
      B)Bert > matip

      Who do I bench?

      Hazard, Ozil, Alli, Fabregas, King
      Kane, Costa, Jesus

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        B

        Bench Cesc I guess.

    8. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Better pick? Tekkers, pedro, giroud, willian, any fwd max 8.3 or mid max 7.8....

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Wijnaldum for the ultimate differential.

  7. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who is going to dance in the kitchen at 18:00?? 🙂

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Klopp

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years

        Ou yeah 🙂

  8. woody3260
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Think Conte prefers Willian to Pedro in the big cup games

    1. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      So willian or pedro this gw?

      1. woody3260
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Want Willian, but he may be rested

  9. sk018
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Chasing

    A) Son
    B) Fabregas

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

  10. 8ball
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard to Coutinho or
    Son to Coutinho (-4)

  11. Winks Club
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A: Alonso --> Clyne
    B: Monreal --> Clyne
    B: Hazard --> De Bruyne

    1. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      First B

  12. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Will Giroud play?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      very likely

  13. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which 2 to play:

    Monreal (EVE)
    Yoshida (STO)
    Stephens (STO)
    Vertonghen (hul)

    Opinions appreciated!

    1. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Vert, Yoshida

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Arsenal have been tight at hte back lately and Monreal does have an attacking threat.

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Monreal Yoshida

  14. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Where is the Alli being rested news coming from?Any reliable sources?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Think it's purely as Eriksson got rested Thursday. 75 pc he will play imo

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No. People guessing

    3. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nowhere. It's just speculation on here because Eriksen was benched on Thursday.

    4. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      People trying to justify to themselves their terrible Alli to Coutinho transfer 😉

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You think it's a bad transfer?

        1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          The transfer is ok if no pressing issues in isolation and not for a hit 🙂

  15. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Siggy or Son?

    1. Artorias
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Son

  16. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Can't believe people are asking if they should bring in a defender for a hit in GW38 😆

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      😀

    2. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I just want to save my FT for next season

    3. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      why not, each to their own 🙂

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Only worth it if defender has attacking potential imo. Like Terry. MAYBE matip

      2. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Even if the player you transfer out blanks and the player you got in for a hit gets a clean sheet, you would still be break even...

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep I have 8 games in a Acca for over 2.5 goals today, only see Man Utd and the Saints game as potential low-scoring matches

  17. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Have a FT to use - which makes more sense:

    A) Caballero -> Mignolet
    B) Monreal -> Matip

    Opinions appreciated!

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Neither tbh

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Can stretch to any keeper or defender.

        Currently:
        Caballero Pickford
        Alonso Yoshida Stephens Vertonghen Monreal.

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          That's basically my backline too, I wouldn't sell any. Look further up the field for a change imo

    2. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Both sideways

    3. zotter
      • 16 Years

      Monreal to Terry ?

    4. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      neither imo. no other options?

      1. Sebbo29
        • 11 Years

        woo another Garf grav 😉

  18. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Chasing 21 pts, have two FTs

    A) Haz + Anichebe > Sturridge + bench fodder
    B) Haz + Evans > Coutinho + Matip

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Whichever your rival doesn't or won't have.

    Who is saying Alli is being rested?

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen owners, and people needing a reason to get Coutinho.

    2. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      All speculation based on nothing but the fact Eriksen was benched on Thursday.

    Is Firmino fit? Sturridge likely to start?
