Fantasy Football Scout Members can now access all the important data from Saturday’s matches in the Members Area.
As we have such a tight turnaround between Gameweeks 18 and 19, we’ve collated all of our Members Analysis entries, which usually sit on the footer of each Scout Notes articles, into one piece.
We’ve compared all the assets from Saturday’s matches to see which impressed us the most ahead of the Boxing Day programme.
...and of course it deserves to be top of the page lol
Ha ha
I'm doing Pope to Guaita so maybe a dull move too
Guaita or Hendo look to be solid medium term picks do it’s a good move
Cheers bro
Henderson even with his upcoming fixtures? I have him and am wondering whether to keep
Whats wrong with Pope? I still have both Pope and Henderson, will get rid of one when I have the spare FT and leaning towards keeping Pope.
Fixtures are turn for worse now.
Don't see any CS in near future
Turning*
yeah fair enough, I'll prob be stuck with the two of them for a little while....hate having two playing keepers although I chose the correct one this GW at least!
Connolly to Martinelli 🙂
sexy
Did Djenepo to Elneny last week 😉
you win
RP for a couple more replies? 😀 (Thanks Amey)
Is considering TAA, Maddison > Kelly, KDB (-4) madness if it gave me this team?
0.5itb
Guaita, McGovern
Lunds, Soy, Willems, Kelly, Rico
Mané, Son, Alli, KDB, Grealish
Vardy, Tammy, Ings
I know you’ll say benching headache but with the likely rotation we’ll have over next couple it may not be a bad thing.
I’d rather not lose Ings or TAA atm but staying without KDB in this form seems reckless rather than patient.
I really want Salah back but for now I can’t see an easy way (except for just swapping Mané out which seems unnecessary)
Thanks!
TAA is as good a pick as KDB. Try to find another way to get him. Maybe for one of Son or Alli?
I don’t disagree.
Tbh today’s match may help the decision and I may be happier to lose Son or Alli.
I could do:
Alli, Ings > KDB, Greenwood
Or
Alli, Maddison > KDB, Max 6.2 mid
Wait for today's game but dont lose Ings just yet.
Willems Kelly Rico seems off to me. Is there a reason why Willems didn’t play?
Kelly should be good for Xmas I guess but - justly or not - will lose his spot soon. That would leave you very short and with no straight swaps except Ward perhaps
I agree mate. Bit nervous about the defence.
Other option is to lose one of the Spurs lads as per my answer above
Yeah looking at that option.
If you lost Son over Alli who could you reach? Think the Son KdB swap makes more sense if you think of price points. Also Alli is the one who’s playing centrally
Interesting!
Can currently do a straight swap Son > KDB with no cash left.
May be on the cards tonight if Son doesn’t set the world alight
I don't buy into the benching headache thing this time of year, do what you need to in order to work around possible rotation. FWIW I did Trent and Dendo to Rico and KDB this week, meaning I have:
Mane Maddison Son Alli KDB
Abraham Vardy Jimi
And if that's not a benching headache I don't know what is
Haha thanks mate! Def one to ponder! Will see after today if Spurs mid double up still looks good
Here is mine GW19, tell me who to bench 😉
KDB Alli Grealish Martial Pulisic
Vardy Rashford Abraham
Haha exactly! I'd monitor Martial and Pulisics form and maybe one of those two. I'm having to consider benching Maddison myself
My plan is Martial Pulisic out for Salah Dendo GW20
Gazza
TAA - Lundy - Kelly
KDB - Mane - Alli - Grealish
Vardy - Tammy - Jimenez
Dendo - Soyu - Rico
2 FTs
1.2 itb
What would you do here?
Alli ➡ Son?
Mane ➡ Salah?
sth else..?
I'd do neither or those but try and upgrade a bench player instead. Whose your 2nd keeper
Button
Upgrade him or Dendo then IMO
hmmm... could do Dendo ➡ Cantwell
The downside are benching problems but better that than nothing.. 😉
I'd change Gazza - he'll be replaced at some point. But Mane to Salah is a nice luxury move if you fancy him.
Richarlison to salah best move here?
Guaita
Taa Lund kelly
Kdb son richarlison moura
Vardy Abraham jimi
Button soy dendo rico
1FT 4.8itb
It's a no brainer
Yep, no brainer I guess
Likely to be the easiest move I’ve ever made!
Yeah, I buy into the talisman theory too.
Not concerned that Ings is benched against Chelsea to be saved for the more 'winnable' home match against Palace? No way Ings plays on Thursday AND Saturday!
*reply fail to Pingissimus below.
moura to salah if possible
richarlison has some excellent fixtures
Not enough cash itb sadly
The fact that you can upsets me 🙂
Hehe!
Can you give my team a look? I'm a bit directionless
I would not make the transfer this week, GW20 for Salah
Ings owners... what's the plan?
I've had throughout this amazing run of form but always with the intention of shipping him out this week. Fixtures turn nasty and the schedule gets even more packed. Ings surely can't maintain this run if form
Hold tight till he breaks again.
Fixture proof when fit this season.
Love myself for bringing him in for Tammy
Yeah, great move that! Do you think Ings plays against Chelsea away or Palace at home? Surely won't play both matches on Thursday and Saturday!
He would play minutes in every game imo
Holding
He’s a talisman and neither Spurs or Chelsea look great at the back and Palace can concede too.
Yeah, I buy into the talisman theory too.
Not concerned that Ings is benched against Chelsea to be saved for the more 'winnable' home match against Palace? No way Ings plays on Thursday AND Saturday!
I’ve a benching headache with Ings Grealish Maddison. Rather hoping for a benching somewhere 🙂
I’ve benched both Maddison and Ings for goals in the last 3 weeks 🙁
Cheap enough to bench
The big decision for me after this GW is double up Son with Alli, will have to lose TAA to do it. Don’t be question is will TAA outscore Son in the next 5 GW, probably not!
Never thought ings would do this well, congrats to owners!
Since GW12, he is only 8pts behind Vardy
Me either. He has always been a trap. I let past experience get in the way!
He was actually very decent last season - when fit of course!!!
Had him on preseason watchlist and didn’t hesitate to jump on. Jumping off at the right time may be harder of course
I made a mistake when Tammy was seemingly out and not bringing him in
WC team, all good?
Henderson (4.0)
Aurier, Lundstram, Kelly (Soy, Rico)
Salah, KDB, Son, Zaha (Cantwell)
Vardy, Rashford, Ings
Would change Zaha
Anything wrong with him? Who would you suggest? I'm tempted by Grealish but put off a little by Villa's form, McGinn injury and one YC away from suspension.
They are not scoring goals.
Grealish or Moura would be better as they play for an attacking team. YC threshold will increase after this GW.
Don't have Zaha on WC

To quote the wonderful Nick Cave, where do we go from here but nowhere?
Not the foggiest. In order to do anything I'd need to free up cash I suppose.
If bored, try Kane [C] 😉
Hmm. How?
Sideways move involving Son/Alli/TAA ... no, don't do it sorry
I'm on 54(-4) so far and that's a GW rank of 266k. I didn't think this week would be that low-scoring...
A week ago, even 70 points could hardly get you a GW rank of 1m, let alone 266k.
Still an average of 4 players to play and 50% captains. It won’t stay there..
Schmeichal (4)
TAA Soy Lundy (Kelly Rico)
Mane KdB Alli Pulisic (Cantwell)
Vardy Rashford Tammy
0.9 in bank
have a few targets for the pulisic spot after this week (will let him play Southampton first)
1) Mahrez - is a player I think could get some big scores and is being overlooked due to peptation. his points/90 is insanely strong
2) Richarlison - great fixtures
3) Siggy - as above and new manager could make him the pick of the 2nd half of the season
4) Martial - hasn't really delivered but high potential
5) Any others?
I like the Everton lads, but I'd wait until Ancelotti plays a game or two before picking one.
Current Backline:
Aurier Rico* Lundstram Soyuncu TOMORI
if Tomori is dropped, who is the best replacement for up to 5.0?
Kelly
Van Aanholt if possible can be a good differential
Is anyone looking at jumping on Everton now, or waiting until post-city in gw21?
If so...how would you do it?
If Ancelotti can get Kean to his form from Juve last season he'll be a bargain.
Only Digne for me, will get him as 5th defender or in exchange of Pereira.
That looks like a good plan. Might downgrade Jimenez to Ings/Maupay and upgrade a defender (Soy?) to Digne.
Downgrading Jimenez is my backup plan for getting Robertson but I guess that won't be required for now 😛
Play 1:
A) Cantwell (avl)
B) Jimenez (MCI)
Pope,
VVD, Lundstram, Soyuncu, Rico, Kelly,
Mane, KDB, Son, Alli, Cantwell,
Vardy, Abraham, Jimenez.
Thanks

I hate saying 'if only', but Christ if only Bournemouth had held onto that clean sheet as a double defense owner!
Anybody going to try and take 2 FTs into GW 20?
With only 2 days between GW 19 and GW 20, 2 FTs going into GW 20 could be extremely valuable as we'll be armed with so much more information (who was rested in GW 19 etc) that he could play a big part in team selections and captaincy - especially if a big hitter is rested in GW 19.
I'm willing to bank my FT this week as I see no need to use it, but my defense could do with some fixes (see below).
My defense for next week is a bit worrying.
Lundstram - fine, Rico - suspended, Willems - tough fixture, Soyuncu - tough fixture too, Mings - may still be injured but has a good fixture if fit.
0.5 in the bank. If Mings isn't passed fit I'll sell, but should I go for another Villa player or someone else line Dunk?
Not keen on Kelly because I already have Guaita and I want to spread the risk.
Dunk is where I’d go - number one on my cheapie watchlist
Who to play (or who to bench) Robbo vs Cantwell?
I think the clean sheets in recent weeks from mid price keepers shows it’s a lottery.
Watford 0-3 Burnley
Bournemouth 0-1 Burnley
Brighton 0-1 Sheff Utd
Chelsea 0-1 Bournemouth
Burnley 0-2 Crystal Palace
Watford 0-0 Crystal Palace
Sheffield United 0-2 Newcastle
Newcastle 1-0 Crystal Palace
These are all clean sheets i didn’t expect It does go to show that set and forget is probably the best way to go. I was burned on my WC with Henderson > Guaita. Looking at the fixtures it was probably the right move.
Who’s your goalkeeper moving forward?
Guaita isn't leaving my team till GW30 at the earliest.
Kasper
Think Guaita is probs where it’s at given Lund is ubiquitous. Those fixtures are glorious and Palace have a consistent record
Have Hendo so a trickier decision than I was expecting.
Dropped from 8k to 19k. Taking out Ings for Rashford and going for Richarlison instead of Grealish cost me. Will most likely knocked out of the cup too.
Anyone else as dumb as me?

I've got some wastemen, namely Zaha, bench perhaps too pricey. What shall I do? Ryan letting me down recently as well:
Ryan (Button)
Chilwell / Lund / Aurier (Kelly/Tomori)
Mane / KDB / Son / Zaha (Cantwell)
Rash / Tammy / Vardy
Who to lose? Who do I need?
Saving FT on gw19, to attack LIV assets
Ryan
TAA, Lund, Kelly
KdB, Alli, Grealish, Zaha
Kane (C), Vardy, Rashford
Madison, Soy, Rico
A) Kane+Zaha to Salah+Long(352)
B) Kane, Zaha, Lund to Mousset, Salah, Gomez (352, triple Lpool)
C) better option to fit Salah?
Save transfer?
Hendo
Taa soy Lund Rico Kelly
Mane kdb son grealish madd
Vardy Tammy ings
Looks like a WC team except Rico but its just one game for him so save sounds good
With only son captain and tammy left I think my green of 72k to 40k could turn into a red by the end of the day..
That Son (C) still has value 😉
Any of these money savers worthwhile?
A. Jimenez or Abraham to Ings/Jota/Maupay
B. Alli/Son to Moura
Currently stuck on how to freshen up elsewhere.
Best replacement for Targett , same price range ? And good fixtures ahead ?
I like KDB's comment about his cramps
The grass was nice and soft
Cantwell 10 pointer waiting as 1st sub. Now if only onr og Son Alli Pulisic or Abraham can have a day off...unlikely?
4 years, 4 months agoMcGinn to Dendoncker...beat that for an exciting transfer!
