We are bringing back Fantasy Premier League ‘Think Tank’ in time for the Double Gameweeks ahead.

With Gameweek 32 chocked full of additional fixtures, which can be found here, Fantasy managers have plenty of questions.

In order to get a idea of the Fantasy Football Scout consensus on these issues, you can create your own poll and customise what answers are available.

Later in the week we will pick our favourite ones and publish them in an article for you all to vote in.

      My dilemma I'm on A at moment I got Haz as well dont really wanna double up with Higuain but those fixtures are sweet

    I find it hard to let Doherty, Jimenez and Mane go on FH32. Aware of the rotation risk with Wolves guys, but do you recon it's wise to leave Mane out as the guy is main man in-form right now?

    If so, who would be the best replacement for pool guy?

    Ederson
    Doherty Lindelöf Luiz
    Pogba Sterling Mili Mane
    Aguero Jimenez Rash

      surely gotta get hazard on a FH, bigger upside.

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 4 months ago

      hazard

    3. JoshyC
      • 15 Years

      Haz 100%

    4. Miniboss

      thanks guys, Hazard it is.

  3. simong1

    A or B for this GW only?

    A) Kane, Kante & Duffy/Doherty
    B) Rashford, Son & Azpi

    1. JoshyC
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      B

    Was just looking at Spurs' record against Crystal Palace at home and it is usually quite tight:

    Last 5 games at home:

    Spurs vs Palace 1-0
    Spurs vs Palace 1-0
    Spurs vs Palace 0 -1
    Spurs vs Palace 1-0
    Spurs vs Palace 0-0

    This is making me slightly reconsider Kane a bit

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      time for some goals

    2. No Kane No Gain
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      what if kane was the scorer with 2/3 bonus points?! plus a shady goal v liverpool and thats a good haul

    3. MTPockets
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Indeed. Plus liverpool away...

    4. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      From memory the away record is similar - they’re almost always tight games.

      But I’m still going Alli - not in the Kane league of punt I know. Palace may have a super away record this season but a fair number of those games have been comparatively high scoring - their attack outperforming their defence.

  5. drughi
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    My FH team defenders have 9 goals and 11 assists between them, like the odds for returns over 2 games even if there is no CS 🙂

    1. The 5% Team
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Duffy Schlupp and Luiz?

    2. JoshyC
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nice

  6. Saka Punch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Random question, but are save points in DGWs totalled at the end or in each game?

    So if keeper gets 4 saves in first game and 2 in the second, does he get 2 save points for 6 saves or just the one for the initial 4?

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 4 months ago

      each game

      1. Saka Punch
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks

  7. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Choose one:

    a) Lukaku

    b) Higuain

    1. JoshyC
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Depends what you would do with the money but A for his form

    3. MTPockets
      7 years, 4 months ago

      B, just because Rashford's 3.2m cheaper

  8. JoshyC
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    A) Laporte and Alli

    OR

    B) D.Silva and Jiménez

    Interested in why if you can be bothered.

    1. JoshyC
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Laporte almost guaranteed 2 CS and Alli could explode.

      D.Silva attacking against 2 cellar dwellers, and Jiménez in red hot form.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A because of Alli's higher ceiling compared to Dilva

    3. The 5% Team
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I have A...wanted to get a City defender over a 3rd attacker, Alli is more of one week punt (will get Son back on WC34)

  9. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    This place really does feel like a think tank this week.

    FFS exceptionalism and the FH template.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Non-template FH:

      Ryan
      Trippier Emerson Holebas
      Neves Mili Pogba Hazard
      Aguero Deeney Kane

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Hmmm!

  10. CarrollsPonytail
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Pondering going 4-3-3 due to a lack of decent 4th midfielders. Rudiger seems more appealing to me than say Townsend, Jota or Deulofeu.

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah that's why I'll probably pass on Kane - to bulk up 4th mid to another mci

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      im doing the same, Ryan, Luiz, PVA, Young, Azpi

    3. caldracula
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      That's what I'm doing, not with rudiger though. Had to go cheap due to owning Kane, Aguero, Sterling and Hazard.

  11. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Play one??

    1. Guaita
    2. Ryan

    Play two??

    A. Dunk
    B. TAA
    C. AWB
    D. Bednarek

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 4 months ago

      undecided
      a/c

  12. ludaslol
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    A) Guaita, Duffy, son, bats/deeney

    B) ederson, azpi, schlupp, zaha

    Which one? I’ have pretty low TV

    Rest of team is pretty template

    1. caldracula
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      B for me.

  13. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    XXX
    Laporte Luiz Schlupp
    Sterling Hazard Pogba XXX
    XXX Aguero Jimenez

    Which option looks better?
    A) Guaita, Son, Kane
    B) DDG, Alli, Lukaku

    1. caldracula
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      DDG, Mili + Kane?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Don't fancy Mili. Thanks though 🙂

  14. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Going a bit dirty cheap in defence:

    Kepa
    Lindel, Boly, Schlupp
    Sterling, Haz, Pogba, Dilva, Mili
    Kun, Lukaku

    GTG?

    1. Punty
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Boly just arrived in my team too.. think it looks good but I'm doubling CHE-defense..
      I'm going:

      Kepa
      Boly Wan-Bis Luiz
      B.Silva Sterling Pogba Hazard
      Aguero Lukaku Jimenez

      1. Punty
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        So basically Lind + D.Silva + Mili vs Luiz + B.Silva + Jimenez.. tough to call!

  15. Punty
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    A) Ederson + Milivojevic + Doherty

    B) De Gea + B.Silva + Jonny

    C) Kepa + B.Silva + Boly

  16. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on my latest FH team?

    Ederson
    Azpi - Tomkins - Dunk
    Pogba - Hazard - Alli - Milli - Dilva
    Kun - Lukaku

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Dunk's a wrongen.

  17. Johnnyboy UK
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Just me that feels like missed chance with TC? Aguero was the right choice I think. Now trying to cram BB TC in to last 6 weeks. Really feels like WC last week BB this and FH 35 was better plan?

    1. The 5% Team
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      nah...WC in BGW31 was never a good plan, think nobody has gone for this.

      what's your plan now?

      1. Johnnyboy UK
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        FH 32 with WC 34 for BB in 35 and TC 36 ish

    2. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      FH35 doesn’t look good to me at all. Good luck.

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yep. Rivals that used fh last week in good shape for this week anyway. All depends on 33 then...

      1. jtreble
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        FH31 managers are at a disadvantage IMHO. We’ll see soon enough. Good luck.

        1. Robben Mee Blind
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I free hitted last week and feel I'm pretty well set for 32. Can get the following with no hits:

          Patricio
          Luiz Kolasinac Doherty
          Sterling Pogba Son Milivojevic
          Aguero (TC) Rashford Jimenez

          Just the one player without a double (Kola) but he's got Newcastle at home. I know there's the risk of wolves rotation but hopefully the triple captain will make up for that

          1. jtreble
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            TC32 not for me. Good luck.

  18. D_R_S_PORT_S

    FH first 3-5-2 draft:
    Suggestion plz ??

    Foster

    Luiz smalling schlupp

    Sterling hazard pogba D.silva Alli

    Aguero rashford

    Bench fodder

    Question for this formation ??

    1) Bilva or Dilva ??
    2)Son or Alli

    Or should I go with top heavy with kane??

    1. D_R_S_PORT_S
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sorry,GK is Ryan instead of foster

      1. Christophe Savage
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Foster in for Ryan.

  19. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Haven’t seen any FH teams with 4 or 5 at the back ... defenders are the most likely to start both games .... and there are clean sheets in those doubles, lovely crisp cleanies 🙂

    1. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Ederson + Laporte?

    2. caldracula
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Playing 4 at the back

      Ederson
      Azpi Duffy Wan-b Schlupp

    3. MTPockets
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Doesn't appeal to me at all given the attacking team options

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Attacking options are great, but not so great if they are benched in one of the 2 games 😉

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Defence options are great, until they concede in both

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            That’s the whole gamble ... but I can see quite a few clean sheets for City, Chelsea & Utd, throw in Palace v Hudds .... there are cleanies in this game week I tell ya, cleanies 🙂

            1. MTPockets
              7 years, 4 months ago

              I wouldn't be surprised if the highest scorer is a defender, again. But picking 4 or 5 from the bunch seems difficult to me, vs mids who get 1/4 cs pt + increased other-points potential

              1. Hotdogs for Tea
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                It’s a punt, but no more so than Mili, Bats etc

        2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          But as is proven with aguero he does not even need to start both games to score big - was benched in his first DGW then got a hat-trick v arsenal!
          Sterling could also do the same.
          I am happy with my
          Ederson-Rudiger-Azpilecueta-Smalling defence with the big guns in midfield I feel like I am covered either way.
          Would you trust the Palace/Brighton/Watford defence? I don't.

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Any 5 at the back team I would come up with would also have Sterling & Kun because you have to cover them as popular captains & TCs

    4. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Back 4/5 is so good and different

      Going with

      Kepa
      Luiz laporte Lindelof awb

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        See below 🙂

    5. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I looked at it but with my team value (105) I can afford a top 6 - 3 at the back and goalkeeper - 4 in midfield and the only odd one out is Batshuyai. It is where all those watching the prices all season/gambling on early transfers will hopefully pay off.

      Ederson
      Smalling-Luiz-Rudiger
      Hazard-Sterling-Pogba-Alli
      Aguero-Rashford-Batshuyai.

      If people have low TV I think 5 at the back is the way to go leaving one or even of of sterling/hazard/aguero.
      In that case you would be trusting Palace/Brighton/Watford defence more.

    6. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      DGea
      Lindelof AWB Azpil Luiz Laporte
      Sterling Pogba (Son? Hazard ? Pedro? Budget?)
      Kane Kun

      1. joeydelucchi
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        only 5 of those will play both games 😉

    Mili (352) or Zaha/Bats (343)?

    1. caldracula
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Zaha if fit, if concerns then Mili.

    2. No Kane No Gain
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      milli personally

  22. caldracula
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Might have to reconsider bringing in a Utd FWD. Looking at potential minutes can see Rashford + Lukaku getting close to 90 mins x2 each with Martial and lingard sharing the other 180 minutes between them over the two games. The only other threat to these are Mata who hasn't had many minutes at all recently, not sure if that is down to injury though or just out of favour.

    1. The 5% Team
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Dalot seems to get more minutes in Mata's place

      1. caldracula
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        After watching Dalot in the game vs PSG he was on my radar. Can't bring him in with the lack of playing time he's been getting though.

        1. The 5% Team
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          true...not a fantasy option unfortunately

  23. Miguel Sanchez
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    A) Higuain and D.Silva

    Or

    B) Kane and Milivojevic

        • 17 Years

        How do you decide that sterling has one start - but travels playing for England?
        But Aguero who is not playing international football this week only gets one?

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Sorry - copy & pasted ... Sterling one start also 🙂 both to play FA Cup semi a few days later

          1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
            • 17 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Ah I see.
            City have been very fortunate with the FA cup draws - even the Brighton game gives him a chance to use his squad after the Cardiff one.

            1. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              I think Pep had a wake up call after Swansea and Wigan must still be fresh in his memory accordingly - he knows it can be harder to win a one off cup match and perhaps easier to beat the likes of Fulham ?

  25. HamezMace
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Still struggling with my defence, which looks best?

    A. Ryan, Luiz, Lindelof, Schlupp
    B. Kepa, Luiz, Dunk, Tomkins
    C. Patricio, Azplicueta, Duffy, Schlupp

  26. C'mon the Fylde

    Bilva or Dilva? 🙂

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years

      Dilva - way better stats and nice break during IB for him

    Got no FH so loading up Chelsea / Palace players..

    Can't afford Hazard.. Is Pedro an option?

      I have Pedro, think he is a decent option...especially in your case when not going Hazard

    Would you rather go double Brighton or double CP in def in dgw?

      Neither, but Palace if have to choose. Although in reality Ryan + Duffy is probably safer than Guaita + def for starts

      His minutes should be good with no Internationals for him
