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.

    Sterling - Mane - Eriksen - Son* - JWP
    Vardy - Jimenez
    _______________________________
    Ryan - Bednarek - Duffy - DCL (2FT - £0.5 ITB)

    Wise moves with 60 and 80 point leads in ML?

    Doherty > Laporte
    Son > £7.9 - Fraser/Bilva or any others?

      Son-> Moura

        Interesting. Good suggestion. I do already have Eriksen though.

        I think my rival has brought in Wilson, so Fraser is looking like a good move for me personally.

      Doubt they will catch 60 unless they have tc chip and nail it

    Unless I take a -4 this week I’m going to be forced to play a Wolves player.
    Which one would you start?
    A) Jimenez
    B)Jota
    C)Doherty

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

      Jim

    2. No Pirlo No Party

      Jimenez - Jota - Doherty. In that order.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeh I have considered starting Diogo as it gives me an extra differential over ML leader. He’s in better form as well.

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

    Play Foster or Lloris?

  5. Donhush
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Which of these combos for Son/Firmino/Doherty
    A. Salah/Long (start Doherty)
    B. Pogba/Wood/TAA (-4)
    C. Pogba/Wilson/TAA (-4)
    D. Pogba/Zaha/TAA (-4)
    E. Any other strikers like Arna?
    Any other striker combo

    1. The 12th Man
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A.
      Take a gamble on Doherty getting some attacking returns.
      Worth it considering Salah’s upside plus 4 points.

      1. Donhush
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Have Mane and no pool defence

      A

  6. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A) TAA + JWP + Kun
    B) Laporte + Tielemans + Auba

    1. The 12th Man
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You fancy Arsenal away to Burnley?

      Actually B could be gold.

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

        That's my current team, but it seems Kun and TAA are high priorities around here

        1. The 12th Man
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I have Kun and TAA.
          I’d say all 6 of those options are good ones this week.
          Auba could be boom or bust. A real rank decider.

          Yesterday before the Yoshida injury news I’d considered Hazard,Jimenez > Moura/Fraser,Aubamayang -4 .

  10. Cassius Clay

    Suggestions pls.. A or B

    A) Play Jota/Gray

    Already playing Jimi...

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Play Gray, I think

  11. Richd
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I’d love villa to not win the playoffs. They could end up in Bolton style trouble 😀

    Teams shouldn’t be rewarded for spending above their means. It’s why I respect Burnley, Reading and Bournemouth above all others.

      1. Richd
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Just reading and Burnley then

      2. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Definitely agree on Burnley though, they're the template all smaller clubs should follow in getting established in the top flight.

        1. Richd
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Like old school charlton. They were a model club for sure.

    1. Andy'81
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It's a horrible, horrible league to get stuck in, I dread to think what could have happened to NUFC if we hadn't of bounced back at the first attempt/s. On Villa they've had great success in the loan market.

  12. Sharkytect

    When are the press conferences?

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Already happened

    2. FPL Pillars

      You’re late to the party

  13. Darth_Newdar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Son -->

    A) Fraser (already have Wilson)
    B) Pogba

    Currently thinking A because of Pogba's lack of form. Of course it's always possible he decides to turn up because it is the last match of the season, but I trust Fraser/Bournemouth more.

    1. Lukakuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. Tsssst
      • 15 Years

      Pogba actually plays well it's just those around him that let him down

  14. Kane Train
    • 11 Years

    Which ones

    Aubameyang or Rashford

    Fraser or Redmond

    1. Latch86

      If you can afford it, Auba and Fraser

    2. Darth_Newdar

      Auba and Redmond

    Just for those who haven't seen the photos.
    61 of them, no sign of Robbo.

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

      Haven’t we learned that this means nothing? Mane - didn’t train, played, ditto with Salah recently. Klopp has said that Robbo is fine.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Ah, thanks for adding this.

    2. Tsssst
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pogba wasn't seen training before the Huddersfield game but still started

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Gotcha, nothing to see here the I guess.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      For clarity, those are from Friday, not today.

    4. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Some manager said (maybe even Klopp or Pep) that at this stage players can miss training

      1. jason_ni
        • 10 Years

        Was klopp

  17. Lukakuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Leaning towards benching Ward-Prowse instead of Jimi or Perez. In case he comes on for a one pointer.
    Correct?

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      but it’s huddersfield...

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

      Not for me, i'm defo playing JWP over Jimenez.

    3. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      incorrect

  18. seewhyaxe
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Any suggestions for me guys?

    Lloris, Foster
    TAA, Valery, Doherty, Duffy, Dunk
    Mane, Sterling, Deu, Son*, Hazard
    Aguero, Jim, DCL

    1FT, 0.5m ITB.

    I'm thinking of Son & Hazard out for Salah & Fraser/Antonio. But that would mean I have to start Doherty

    1. Latch86
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Son out - Dilva / Bilva in

  19. Tsssst
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    9 points behind 1st in ML

    Son > Redmond
    Hudson-Odoi > Fraser

    worth a 4 point hit?

    bench would then be Jimenez Bednarek Dunk

    1. Latch86
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure it's worth the -4. Bench H-O and play Jimi or Bednarek?

      1. Tsssst
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        And get which from Fraser or Redmond?

        Rivals got Redmond and JWP so if saints haul I'm done. So Fraser is the difference

        1. Latch86
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I think you've answered the question yourself... at this stage matching doesn't help you. You need differential, surely?

      2. Tsssst
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Hudson odoi is also injured

        1. Latch86
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Unless you're bench-boosting, that's pretty much irrelevant for this GW if he's far enough down your bench

          1. Tsssst
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            I'm thinking in case of any surprise rotation selections. Ie. Robertson or Pogba missing out

  20. The 12th Man
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Who scores more?
    A)Hazard,Jimenez +4
    B)Moura,Aubamayang

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B

  21. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A. Robbo and Son to Kompany and mane
    Or
    B. Son and Jiminez to Sterling and Zaha and Moura

    1. Latch86
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years

        Not sterling
        Zaha and Moura?

    Anyone else joining me and punting on mitrovic?

    Playing old club, likely last game for fulham and hopefully a bit of feel good around the club with Parker been announced!

    Brace or red card incoming!!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      He does hate Newcastle, but it's a no from me.

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Which Defender?
    A) Walker
    B) Kompany

    Which Midfielder?
    C) Redmond
    D) Fraser

    Any of these hits worth it?
    E) Jimenez > Wilson (Bench: Jota)
    F) Hojberg > Fraser (Bench: Jimenez)
    F)

    1. Latch86
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A + D

    2. The 12th Man
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A.
      Take your pick. Both good.
      E and F could pay off .

  24. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Gunn (Ryan)
    Robbo TAA Valery (Doherty Cathcart)
    Jota Mane Eriksen Sterling (Son)
    Llorente Kun Jimenez

    Best move?
    A. Son and Jimi to Vardy and Fraser/Redmond.
    B. Son, Doherty and Jimi to Vardy, Redmond and Kompany (-4)
    C. Son and Doherty to Laporte and Fraser/Redmond
    D. Son and Jimenez to Antonio/Bilva and Wilson.

    120k sadly so I need a big push

  25. jumbob
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on:
    Patricio + Duffy + Jimenez --> Speroni, Shaw, Rashford (-4)?

    Foster
    Shaw / TAA / Bednarek
    Salah / Mane / Sterling / Fraser
    Kun / Wilson / Rashford

    The transfers worth a hit, or any other pressing issues?

    1. Latch86
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't bother with the GK for -4. Just play Foster. Speroni would have to get a big score to make the -4 worthwhile!

      1. jumbob
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Speroni will be benched, transfer only necessary to free up cash for Rashford

    If, and only if we somehow get concrete reports suggesting robertson misses out

    Thoughts on robertson + eriksen > salah(c) + 4.5m def (-8)

      not sure where you expect to hear that. Surely better to just let a player sub in?

      Salah is not worth a -8.

          tough call that...Mane has best record(h) of all the milfs.

          I'm on Sterling at the moment.

        Anfield express and other Anfield accounts like Liverpool echo tend to be on the money with their reports on twitter usually
