Fantasy Football Scout users have submitted an excellent set of polls to help our preparation for Double Gameweek 32.

The questions range from chip strategy to how much we should trust Manchester City and Chelsea with their fixtures.

Not surprisingly, the most requested poll centred around which of the chips is best to play in this expanded round of fixtures.

Forever in Our Shadow, Trippier Hazard, Sebes Gusztav, Nimith Enzo, Ohlsay, Nat Kane Cole and PEP_TALK all wanted to know about this one.

Jimmy Hendrix and de quiney were both keen to challenge the thinking on Free Hitting in Double Gameweek 32, suggesting Blank Gameweek 33 as an alternative option.

We had a poll from Studsy25 who wanted to know the best way of preparing for Double Gameweek 32 for those without the Free Hit or Wildcard chips.

Another hugely popular question concerned the best way to capitalise on Manchester City’s two matches, against Fulham (away) and Cardiff (home).

DMil, BBC_TF, Toblerone52, Fossit, Karsa, LosBlancos, PEP_TALK and Masteryeoda all submitted some great polls on this subject, so we combined them into one.

Given their unpredictable nature in recent times, Scout users want to know what the consensus is on Chelsea, especially their defence.

This poll came in from Beercalona, Tomthewise1, Podorsky, The Beer Baron and Dusan Citizen.

Another popular poll concerns to what extent we even trust the Double Gameweek itself.

Forever in our Shadow, BKrisztian, Leakyman and Pamino all wanted to know how many single Gameweek players would be present in our squads for Double Gameweek 32.

BenjoBD takes that question one step further to identify how many Liverpool players will be present in our Double Gameweek 32 squads.

Of those who have two matches, it does look difficult to cram all of the premium heavy hitters in.

For that reason, Saint & Reevesy, AdAdityan and FFSBullets want to know which of those we are most likely to leave out.

Finally, Diverpool wants to know to what extent Scout users are worried about rotation ahead of the FA Cup semi-finals.

Manchester City, Brighton, Watford and Wolves will be participating in the competition’s last four stages several days after their midweek Double Gameweek 32.

        But why? 😛

          Why not ? 😉

    2. No Salah

    4. wernerhedgehog
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      B.

      1) Deulofail has a higher ceiling.
      2) Fulham (H). More likely to be benched against Utd.

  3. royals forever

    On FH

    Best 6m DGW MFer for this front 8

    Sterling Pogba Alli Noble xxxxxxx

    Aguero Higuain Batshuyi

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Deulofeu?

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Deulofeu

    3. George James
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Can I ask why have Noble on FH? Are you playing him?

      1. Slitherene
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Has to play 3 def, 1 keeper, so only one of Noble and that 6m mid will play. He's got his strategy wrong, somewhat.

  4. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Going to be my first time owning Sterling next gw on FH.

    Citys mids has really burned me this season

    Bilva + Sane has got be just a single goal in combined 9 pl games

  5. The Red Devil
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Pick a combo
    A-Lukaku Mili (Peltier)
    B-Kane Boly (CHO)
    the player in brackets will be on the bench, with kane its a 4-3-3, with lukaku, its 3-4-3.

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      A

      1. The Red Devil
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Made a few more changes, which one? Azpi more secure i guess

        A-Lukaku Mili Azpi (Connelly) (3-4-3)
        B-Kane Boly Luiz (CHO) (4-3-3)

        1. No Salah
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          A just became even better 😛

          1. The Red Devil
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            trusting Kane more than lukaku, that too in a DGW, just seems so odd! 😛

            1. Slitherene
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Just coz you're a United supporter, you feel that way. It's the other way round for us.

              1. The Red Devil
                • 10 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Jeez, my bad, i meant it the other way around, trusting lukaku more than kane seems odd.
                what do you think of my two combo options?

                1. Slitherene
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 11 months ago

                  A seems better.

        2. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          A Looks great

  6. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I really have to do something different from the group think, it’s like being brain washed on here lol 🙂

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      It seems that way, but it’s juat because the options are that obvious. What differentials are you considering?

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He he
      Some players pick themselves though.
      Hazard, Sterling,Kun,Pogba.
      So team's are bound to be similar
      7-8 player's will be same in every FH team i think.

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      lack of options is an issue, not really a good week to FH but it fits well with fixtures

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I'm trying hard to find some different players 😮

      2. Cruz88
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        You say that but surely a lot of people used their FH already and can't build the teams we are. Even if ours are mostly the same, it's hopefully a good team for this week 🙂

      3. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        It is really a case of suffering if you don't free hit.
        TC Kun can make up all the ground I will be losing without the FH chip.

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          TC Aguero might gain 20 points, I'd be disappointed if my FH doesn't exceed that

          1. Eze Really?
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            I agree. FH is better but I could get Lucky.
            I have all the FH suspects in my side and I am looking for Barnes Wilson and Mane to be 10 points short of your FH choices. a long shot admitadly.

    4. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      i think Kane could be my differential, unless i'm washed away by the majority of the thinking on here.

    5. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Considered doubling up as a differential? While most have one Chelsea or United defender, you have two of each so gain on those teams (assuming both CS) easily affordable.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Good idea Freddo. But do you expect Utd to keep 2 cleansheets? Chelsea may concede as well. My draft has Luiz and Kepa with no Utd defence but even then am not sold just yet

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Who knows mate, I do think Wolves and Watford will have one eye on Wembley though which is good for United.

          1. ZeBestee
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Here's hoping. 5 days is also sufficient for preparation so the coaches may as well prepare their teams by playing their best players in the PL. Cheers.

    6. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      In a double game week it’s the midfielders that get rotated the most, but most FH teams are midfield heavy ? .... all the discussions and decisions are about the best players (but many will only start one game) rather than best players for the best formation to maximise the DGW

      Every year we have posters on here slagging off the PL managers and calling them all sorts of names for rotating the ‘obvious picks’, yet every year we still pick them .... do we ever learn ? 🙂

      1. noquarternt
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        See what happens on here when Sterling or Aguero are on the bench for the first game.

        1. Naboo
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Pogba and hazard are nailed but sterling will surely troll us all

          1. noquarternt
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah I dunno, there's always something funny. Like Salah scoring 4 goals or something.

      2. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        And every year, we realise DGW DEFs dominate the Dream Team for the GW

    7. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      don't come on here?

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I leave before I believe the hype 🙂

  7. WE GO FOR IT
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Foster | Patricio
    Robertson | AWB | Digne | Pereira | Kelly
    Hazard | Sterling | Salah | Felipe | Camarasa
    Rondon | King | Arnie

    2FT and 0.1 itb.

    How does Salah, Felipe, Arnie to Eriksen/Alli, Deulofeu and Kun for a -4 look?
    Would you do Digne to City defender for another hit?

    Planning to play TC in 32 and FH in 33.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Dont think Deu is worth a hit. What will be the budget of mid if you do just Arnautovic to Kun and Salah to xxx

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        8.4 for XXX. Can probably get Martial.

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Does dropping Patricio to Boruc allows Pogba?

  8. oi no professionals
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    A. Kepa + Laporte
    B. Ederson + Luiz

    1. JRO093
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Currently in city go che def but not really sure why 😀

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      B as Luiz has a bit more attacking threat than Laporte.

    3. RIDZ
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      B for attacking threat

    4. Scotty B
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      A

  9. Dannywaz
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Ryan babel ??

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He is decent and Fulham are better offensively in the last few gameweeks so worth a punt. I wouldn't expect much though tbh.

    2. Dannywaz
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Decent enabler who's defo going to play 2 games

    3. wernerhedgehog

      Lovely bloke

  10. Party time

      1. noquarternt
        • 10 Years

        You won't change any prices?

    • cescpistols1
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Moves for just this GW?

      A. F.Anderson -> Son (-4)
      B. Robertson -> Laporte (-4)
      C. Robertson + F.Anderson -> Laporte + Eriksen (-8)
      D. Any other move?

      Ryan - Hamer
      
Kolasinac - AwB - Shaw - Doherty - Robbo

      Pogba - Hazard - Sterling - F.Anderson - Brooks
      
Rashford - Jimenez - Vardy

    • skypopo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Hi

      A) Son + Zaha / Bat
      B) Mili / Townsend + higuian

      which one looks better please?

      1. skypopo
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Given that I have hazard already, should i double up their attack? while zaha vs hudders and son icould surprise us

      2. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        A for me this week only

    • Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Assuming Lukaku, Rash & Zaha all are fit which option do you prefer out of these?

      A) Kaku, Zaha, Azpi, Smalling, Laporte & Schlupp
      B) Kaku, Rashford, Milivojevic, Luiz, Laporte & AWB
      C) Rashford, Zaha, Milivojevic, Azpi, Smalling & Laporte
      D) Rashford, Zaha, D.Silva, Azpi, Smalling & PVA

      Appreciate your thoughts! 🙂

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
          6 years, 11 months ago

          (A), not even close

          1. Karan_G14
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Cheers mate! That was the option I was leaning towards too.

            1. Lionel Ronaldo
                6 years, 11 months ago

                You should add "Assuming AWB is fit" too 🙂

          2. Positive vibes

          3. Naboo
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            D for me

        • RIDZ
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Why Hazard > Higuain? That 1.3 might upgrade somewhere else

          1. ZeBestee
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Hazard is a far better player than Higuian. Punting on Hig may pay off as well but he hasn't impressed me so far.

          2. Eze Really?
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            For non free hitters, Higgy a good choice as he plays GW33. I agree with the poor eye test though.

        • Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Players I can see playing only half the minutes available in GW32
          Rash kaku Martial Jota Jimi Delboy Schlupp Sterling Sane Luiz Rudiger Son
          With those names would it not be wise to play nailed SGW players such Mane Wilson Barnes?

          1. Pompel
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            There's always one SGW player who outscores some of your DGWers. I'm considering playing Mane, but he takes a lot of tje budget - and DGW planning fun!

            1. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              I agree but then again I have no FH chip so my tactics will be different to most.

          2. Warby84
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Richarlison away to West Ham.. haha

            1. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Smile

        • ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Chelsea fans, how many minutes do you expect these 2 to play out of the 180?

          1) Pedro
          2) Willian

          1. Slitherene
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Both start atleast one.

        • Lionel Ronaldo
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Provided Zaha is confirmed fit, which would you be more confident with?

            (1) Zaha / Luiz
            (2) Azpilicueta / Batshuayi

            1. Karan_G14
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              I think 2.

            2. Bavarian
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              2

            3. Lionel Ronaldo
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Cheers, guys.

              Who utilities FF Fix here?
              My 8 DGW's in 32 indicate a total of 110 points.
              I would be interested in knowing FH junkies projected scores.
              I know it is not that accurate.

                  My 3 SGW players are Wilson Barnes Mane.
                  Interested to know who your weakest DGW players to make an extra 18 points.

                I’m averaging around 124 from eleven. But something tells me their formula doesn’t factor in rotation.

                  All DGW players will make the bench fairly meaningless

                The highest I can get is 134

                  The team would be interesting

              What about gundogan has a punt pops up with goals every now and again

                I'd rather have a City Def in that case.

                A mid table midfielder can do a similar job.

                If not playing for Citeh he would be a good call but Ederson/Laporte double cleanie is more realistic IMO.

              as a chelsea fan and hazard capper is it crazy to triple captain higuain instead of hazard?
              higuain shoots on sight and has 2 weeks to recover from his fever. if hazard doesnt score chelsea usually loose or draw however with higuain i think they are taking many more chances

              Long story short
              higuain TC over hazard?

                Hazard we all know can troll.
                The higgy decision could hurt you though.
                Kun for me.

                I'd TC Aguero or Sterling first. But definitely Hazard after them.

              Kane
              Higuain
              Rashford

              Is Hazard essential? Stats arent looking that great.

              1. wernerhedgehog
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Big Ceiling player. For a 1 game punt i wouldn't, but he has 2.

              2. noquarternt

                6 years, 11 months ago

                Hazard could score a penalty in each game and easily get 20 points. That's the appeal.

                6 years, 11 months ago

                Best attacking option from Chelsea and 2 great fixtures. Not essential but defo has potential to get about 20 points over 2 games

            9. Slitherene
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              A) Kepa + Luiz + Laporte + Alli + Rashford

              OR

              B) Ederson + Lindelof + Duffy + Deulofeu/Deeney + Kane

              No point fitting in Kane with this setup, right?

              How would you improve this DGW32 team?

              Ryan, Hamer
              Luiz, Duffy, Schlupp
              Hazard, Sterling, Pogba, DSilva
              Kun, Higuain, Rashford

              Citeh and Chelski fail.

              Any necessary changes on this FH team to make?

              Ederson (Boruc)

              Luiz / Duffy / Schlupp / AWB (Saiss)

              Sterling (c) / Haz / Pogba (CH-O)

              Kun / Kane / Bats

              Thanks

                Cathcart for Schlupp or awb

                6 years, 11 months ago

                It's fine. Maybe Batman to Zaha but otherwise G2G.

            13. Tsparkes10
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              A) Ederson and Duffy
              B) Laporte and Ryan

              Scared of Laporte rotation but B has higher ceiling due to goal threat and save points

              1. Another Hoops
                • 10 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                I think the ceiling is low on this one. A.

                  Hmmm maybe, I'd prefer B if Laporte was guaranteed. Guess I see what pep says

              Guessing Rash is not playing DGW32 my final NON FH team
              Paricio (Fab)
              Luiz Doherty Schlupp (Digne Perreira)
              Pogba Hazard Sterling Pedro Mane
              Kun (TC) Wilson (Barnes)
              Any improvement outside of Luiz and Doherty gametime questioned?

                You gonna transfer Rashford out, or never owned him?

                Very similar to my team, so like it 🙂

              Feeling good with the current draft

              Kepa
              Laporte Lindelof Schlupp Luiz
              Sterling Haz Pogba Deulofeu
              Kane Kun

              But also considering this if Lukaku+Zaha are both fit.

              Kepa
              Laporte Schlupp Luiz
              Sterling Haz Pogba
              Lukaku Zaha Kun
              +either Deulofeu or Smalling

              Which team looks better?
