Fantasy Football Scout member Adam Levy is in a very strong position to become the 2018/19 Fantasy Premier League champion.

The New Zealand manager has held the number one spot since Gameweek 29 and from then onwards has only consolidated his position.

Crucially, he pulled in triple-figure hauls for every single one of his chip deployments apart from the second Wildcard.

Playing his Triple Captain on Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) in Double Gameweek 25, he scored 125 points.

The Free Hit chip in Double Gameweek 32 yielded a score of 102, while a Bench Boost in Double Gameweek 35 produced a 117-point haul.

Despite not playing any chips in Gameweek 36, Adam still managed 109 points to strengthen his position ahead of the final two sets of matches.

All of those scores helped him create one of the biggest cushions an overall leader has ever enjoyed going into the final day of the season.

The gap between him and second-placed Falah Allawati stands at a massive 60 points.

The would-be challenger from Oman may also be out of chips but does have a few assets over the world leader.

Adam Levy’s team in Gameweek 37

At this point in time, there is an overlap of just six players between the two squads, Hugo Lloris (£5.4m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.8m), Aymeric Laporte (£6.3m), Raheem Sterling (£11.7m), Son Heung-min (£8.7m) and Raúl Jiménez (6.9m) the assets they share.

Crucially, at this stage, Adam has no Liverpool attackers.

He currently has a double-up on their defence with both Andrew Robertson (£6.8m) and Alexander-Arnold.

The fact that Falah owns Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) could prove the difference, although Son’s suspension may have opened an easy opportunity for Adam to cover the Egyptian off.

As of Friday night, Adam had cashed in the two free transfers he banked in Gameweek 36, opting to do them fairly early.

Son will have almost certainly been one of these, and a downgrade of Christian Eriksen (£9.2m) to bench-fodder will probably have given him the extra cash to get Salah if he wants – or Sadio Mané (£10.3m), who Falah currently doesn’t have.

That would allow Adam to start both Ryan Fraser (£6.3m) and Callum Wilson (£6.8m) against Crystal Palace’s out-of-sorts defence on the final day of the season.

How Falah got on in Gameweek 37

That’s an exciting attacking double-up that Falah owns neither of, although he has also done two transfers as of Friday night too, admittedly for a four-point hit.

Adam’s other exposure after Gameweek 37 is the fact he does not own Aguero.

The Manchester City striker may be a little out of form, just one goal in his last six matches, but he remains a highly-owned figure.

This could be who Adam pursued with his two free transfers, as the money gained from downgrading Son may have helped him upgrade Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m).

However, despite all of these potential avenues for Falah to catch up with Adam, it really would take something utterly spectacular from the world number two to stop the FPL title heading down under to New Zealand on Sunday.

    Is Doherty to Trent worth -4?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years

      Barely

    2. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 11 Years

      Yes

    3. kalmoffit

      Yes

    4. glufs

      Probably not

    5. chonks

      nope

  2. Hits from the Bong

    Any changes needed here? I’ve taken one hit.

    Guaita
    Robbo TAA AWB
    Salah(c) Sterling Pogba Fraser
    Aguero Arnie Rondon

    Top 10 midfielder transfer combinations across FPL:

    1 Son > Pogba (8.8%)
    2 Son > Bernardo Silva (4.1%)
    3 Son > Redmond (2.9%)
    4 Robertson > Alexander-Arnold (2.3%)
    5 Son > Sterling (2.1%)
    6 Son > Fraser (2.0%)

    Do you guys think Fraser and Bernardo Silva are better Son replacements than Lucas Moura given this information above?
    As I already have Pogba and Sterling looking to get someone who has the potential to haul...give me your suggestions and help a brother get back into top 1000 FPL.

    1. Totti
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      son-> lucas moura?

      1. Angin out the Begović
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Lucas Moura was unreal against Ajax

        1. Totti
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          and against huddersfield when he scored hatrick as well was also unreal?

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Everton defence won't conceed many tomorrow can see a 1-1 draw here

  4. Espen8
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Redmond, Mili or Fraser?

    1. scubasmithy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I have the exact same dilemma, wasn't even considering Mili to be honest... Now you have it worse lol

    2. scubasmithy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      The waiting became torture, so I went with Fraser in the end. Redmond could be awesome but let's be honest 8 games out of 10 he couldn't hit a cows @rse with a banjo. Fraser has consistently delivered, is up against a makeshift defence and everyone seems to be going Redmond

    Mane Sterling Jota Redmond
    Aguero Vardy Jiminez
    (Ryan, Valery, Hojbjerg, Doherty) 0.0m itb

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years

      I see Salah starting.. get rid of Son for eg. Pogba.

    Ha, I didn’t realise Shane Duffy was an Everton fan and former youth player for them. Mixed loyalties on the final day? He claims not, but...

    1. Bobby Digital

      So city will score 6 gls?

  14. The_Fish
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    7 11 2 6 9 9 12 - If that was Sterling or Aguero with those returns you'd definitely be wanting to captain them this week.

    Captain Laporte... I'm doing it

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Good pick.. not for me.

    2. AuFeld
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Logical. BHA have the lowest xG when considering the last four home matches and second lowest xG over the last four.

  15. iyiy
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A) Redmond and Vardy

    B) Pogba and Wilson

    C) Redmond, Vardy. Jimenez out, Wilson in - 4

    Just watching the Aston Villa v WBA playoff

    It’s like watching a who’s who of PL flops from years ago

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years

      You'll get Dwight Gale with the rest of us.

    2. Bobby Digital

      Id like villa back in prem

  17. Max City
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Is Martial, Son, Firmino >> Sterling, Wilson, Fraser (-4) a good move?

    That'll give me

    Ederson
    TAA Laporte Doherty (Duffy Yoshida*)

    Mane Eriksen Doucoure Sterling Fraser
    Jimenez Vardy Wilson

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes for me

    2. The_Fish
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Good moves

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely. You have three non-starters there, all of high price

  18. Dosh
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A. Kompany + Redmond
    B. Laporte + Henderson/Sissoko/5.3mid

    1. The_Fish
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A

  19. Benditlike
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard, Fraser or Redmond??

    1. Totti
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      will hazard start?
      i think not

  20. InvertedWinger
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Aside from Aguero, Mane, Sterling and Salah (all of whom I own), not limited to price or position - who do you think will be the highest point scorer in gw38.

    1. The_Fish
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Someone random.

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Long or pogba

      1. InvertedWinger
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Im struggling to see why there's so much faith in Pogba, honestly. 6 open play goals all season, no form for player or team. It's just fixture + on pens?

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      One from each position:
      Ryan (wishful thinking), Trent, Siggy, Deeney

      1. InvertedWinger
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Oh that's interesting!

    4. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Fraser or Wilson.

  21. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Scout picks been?

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      And gone

  22. Totti
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    son and vertonghen to:

    A) moura and laporte
    B) bernardo silva and VVD ( already owning arnold )
    C) other suggestion

  23. Kuzser
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Best move this week to win a ML (3 points behind my rival atm)?
    A. Son Jimmi-> Sterling Long for -4
    B. Son-> pogba
    C. Son-> bilva
    D. doherty->laporte and play 4defs

    His team:
    Ederson
    AWB-Laporte-Robbo (Kola doherty)
    pogba-sterling-fraser-jota (tielemans)
    Rashford-Jimmi-Vardy

    My team:
    Foster
    TAA-Shaw-Valery (Doherty Duffy)
    Mane-Salah-Jota-Redmond (Son)
    Aguero-Wilson-Jimmi

  24. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Who do you prefer between

    A) Vardy
    B) Mane

    1) Fraser
    2) Redmond

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 3 months ago

      b2

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A
      2

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

      B1. Vardy is in form, but CHE aren't exactly push-overs. Mane's home form is very appealing. Redmond has the stats, but has issues delivering the goods. Fraser has the stats, delivers the points, and should be up against Joel Ward if he's lined-up on the right flank again.

      1. Tshelby
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks for the replies! Something to think about

  25. Melvin Udall
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Brought in Redmond. Why do I regret it.

    Now feel any one of Fraser, Babel, Moura, Ali, Townsend and Tielmans will all score more.

    I am looking at a 2 pointer aren't I?

    1. iyiy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He has a really high XG recently. He's already got a goal and assist away to Huddersfield. Huddersfield are awful. He's a good pick.

      1. AuFeld
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        1.58 over his last four isn't exactly 'really high' imo. For comparison, Wilson has a 2.98.

    2. In Bale We Trust
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Redmond imo has to be the most explosive option out of those. He’s worth a punt

      1. Melvin Udall
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Babel and Frasers form in the last 4 is better than Redmonds. I am relying on the fixture for a return IMO.

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He’s a Southampton midfielder. Expectation should be limited. Will blank more then return.

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I’m captaining him

  26. Sid07
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Have 2ft
    1) son + Jimi to Salah + long
    2) son + Jimi to Pogba + vardy
    3) Doherty + son to Robertson + pogba

  27. United10
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    What to do here
    a) Son & Jimenez out for Aguero (C) & 4.6m -4
    b) Son to B.Silva and Mane(C)

  28. Blanka
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Can Kompany cover Laporte? Can't afford the latter, but need a defensive City shield!

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Laporte will be a 6 pointer this weekend with the City attackers hauling and returning the bonus points!
