Fantasy Football Scout are delighted to announce that we’ll be joining forces with Football Index in the upcoming season.

We’ll be producing weekly articles throughout 2020/21, while there will also be regular segments on our Scoutcast and plenty more coverage besides.

If you’re new to Football Index, think of it as a revolutionary betting platform that works a bit like a virtual stock market.

Similar to player prices in Fantasy Premier League, the aim is to bet on the future value of the players when the price is low and then sell on when the value is high – the key difference here being that traders can profit from their ability to spot a bargain who is about to hit the big-time.

Fantasy managers can use their expertise to anticipate the on-field success of their assets in question, with dividends awarded for goals, clean sheets, assists and a whole host of underlying stats, from shots on target and accurate crosses to aerial duels won and tackles.

This is where the data in our Premium Members Area can really come into its own and give Fantasy Football Scout subscribers the heads up on which players could prosper on match days.

But that’s not all: along the way, traders win media dividends for positive headlines written about their players, so it’s worth keeping an eye on off-the-field events as well.

Like all betting platforms, the rules are fairly straightforward, and the nuances become more familiar with time.

We’ll be back over the weekend with a more detailed guide on how to play Football Index but head over to their website now for more information and tips on how to turn Fantasy prowess into a successful portfolio.



And don’t forget: this is trading with real money, so always gamble responsibly.

    Jack Butland to Southampton is gaining some traction, would expect him to come in as number 1 leaving McCarthy's role in serious doubt

    1. Flaming Flamingo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I'm skeptical that transfer happens personally, but we'll see

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        maybe not, but man that kid should be playing in the Premier League somewhere. What's he doing at Stoke?

        1. Flaming Flamingo
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          From what I hear, he's not been playing too we'll since they got relegated which is a bit of a shame

          1. Dthinger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            yeah, he should have left that year. It might be too late now.

    2. BENOIT
      • 10 Years

      disagree

      1. BENOIT
        • 10 Years

        Mccarthy spot to lost

        1. BENOIT

    I have been a trader on Football Index for about 20 months now and have made about 75% return on investment, despite trading quite poorly at times; I know many traders who have achieved well in advance of this figure.

    Although it is becoming harder to make profit as the platform grows, I still think that there is lots of money to be made and I would highly recommend this platform.

    I am very excited to see what the future holds in this partnership between two of my favourite websites.

    1. ilikewud
      • 5 Years

      nah

    2. MarvelouSuccess

      Not for me I'm afraid

      This place is out of control.

      1. Dynamic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        What?

        1. Ghost Ship
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I’ve had enough with endless promotions, and now gambling on the sly. Shame on you and this site, I’m done.

          1. Galza
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            I do think this is a step to far as well to be fair.

            Won’t belong before Ray Winstone will be making an appearance...

          2. Dynamic
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            This certainly is gambling, but I don't see how it is on the sly: "this is trading with real money, so always gamble responsibly."

            If you don't like the articles, then just don't read them.

            1. Ghost Ship
              • 15 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              I didn’t but now I have the sell from you inside the forum itself. Obviously you are just chatting and are not part of the advertising even though you seem to be spending all evening selling it.

      I've been on it for over a year. Put in 1 grand that I received from my company shares (i.e. Money I wouldn't be distraught about losing). Lots of ups and downs, but currently at around 2100. Not bad at all, but I find it a lot more time consuming than I'd like.

        Do you have to pay much tax on profits? Can take the Good out of it.

        1. abaalan
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Its gambling technically so there is no capital gains tax to be paid

          1. Je suis le chat
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            I see, thanks. No wonder these gambling companies are so rich. The person over 365 was paid about 365m salary last year. These people are worse than despots imo.

    5. abaalan
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      It's much better than traditiaonl betting , works more like if you were buying stocks and shares. Dividends alone can keep your turnover coming in!

    Regarding Football Index.

    It's fun and I enjoy the format. But it's also important to remember at all times that it is gambling. No more, no less.

    I say this because the format of FI adopts a lot of the ideas and terminology of stock markets. Which can lead *some* people to think it's something more than it is.

    Most notably, I saw one particular person argue that it was essentially the same as investing, carried similar risk and was a legitimate alternative to the financial products offered by banks. Which, needless to say, is the opinion of someone who is financially illiterate. Don't listen to that guy and definitely don't *be* that guy.

    Also worth noting that FI is due to introduce order books to the platform shortly. Something that will immediately impact player prices. Worth bearing in mind before you put in any money....

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      isnt the stock market also gambling?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        That is the talk of the financially illiterate. Wait.....

      2. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        If you are day trading, yes. If you invest in long term funds, no.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          That is the talk of the financially illiterate. Wait.....

            • 11 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Yea day trading is totally profitable for randoms and a vanguard fund or similar is a bad investment...

    2. Miguel Sanchez

      Do you come out on top of what you put in at the end of the month/year?

      1. Dynamic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Most of the time.

        1. ilikewud
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          'most'

          1. Dynamic
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            In the past 20 months that I have been a trader, I think that my balance has increased month-on-month on about 16 of the 20 occasions.

            1. ilikewud
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              You're on Apple and Telsa stock numbers with that return must be one hell of a lucky trader.

              1. Dynamic
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 10 months ago

                Most other traders that I know who have been invested in the platform for 2 years or more have returns in excess of mine; I have been a poor trader at times.

                This level of growth is unsustainable and will most definitely slow. People joining FI nowadays have missed the boat, in terms of gaining almost guaranteed profit, as has been the case previously.

                1. ilikewud
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 10 months ago

                  Thats fair - appreciate you entertaining the convo. Good luck with your trades.

      2. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Depends what you mean by "come out on top".

        Currently I'm in profit. But I can't actually sell to take out that money until the new system comes in, unless I want to do so at a loss. And that new system will see prices drop anyway, at least immediately. So it's hard to determine the actual value of what you have on the platform.

        Plus you have to keep in mind that those who joined early benefitted from a growing platform inflating prices. Obviously they're spending money on marketing to ensure it keeps growing but there's no real guarantee of the pace. Very much a "past returns are no guarantee of future performance" situation.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Hmmmm it sounds interesting but ultimately gambling all the same.

          1. sully29
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            It is 100% gambling. It's just a format of gambling I happen to enjoy more than others. And one that a lot of people who like FPL will probably enjoy too.

            Which is a positive if you approach it in a sensible way, recognising it for what it is. But potentially a negative if you don't.

          2. Dynamic
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            @Sully29 You are only 'in profit' if you can take out your money currently at that price, so therefore you need to use the sell price (not the buy price) of your players to decide if you are in profit or not. The actual value of your portfolio in my eyes, is the value that you could sell all your players at and walk away, at this moment in time.
            As I've said above, there was very rapid growth initially, and whilst the rate of growth will inevitably slow, I expect that growth will still occur.

            @MiguelSanchez Yes this definitely is gambling.

            1. sully29
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              Yep, exactly. But the actual platform itself displays your profit as a function of the purchase price, which is misleading. That's what I meant when I said it depends on how you define "come out on top".

              If you're new it would be easy to have bids accepted in between the sell and buy price, see a lot of green and think you're winning.

              1. Dynamic
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 10 months ago

                Yes, I agree. That aspect of the platform is misleading and should be changed IMO.

      3. xHaTr
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        In all fairness I have absolutely no idea what im doing and i have made roughly 20% profit in around 5 months

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Yep. And many others would say the same. Which should be a red flag.

          1. Dynamic
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            I heard similar stories to this, before I joining FI around 2 years ago.

            Since joining, I have made around 75% in 20 months, so ignoring these red flags seems to have at least worked for me.

            1. sully29
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              Yep, because you got in early. As did I. But as you said above, that level of growth is unsustainable. So people entering *now* having heard those reports of huge profits made buy people who literally didn't know what they were doing should be forewarned.

              1. sully29

    3. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I'd add another warning, I signed up to Football Index when it originally launched I think, never actually played but I stupidly registered my real mobile number and despite requesting no marketing, they kept texting me, I'd try to unregister every single time they did but it continued for months.

    4. abaalan
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Would argue that it is just as close to a stock market than gambling;
      - Can't really lose all your stake unless a player dies/retires/FI go bust (just like if a company went bust)
      - You have Market Makers
      - You have buy and, shortly, sell orders
      - You make money from dividends (multiple ways; media, perform, inplays, bonuses) just like shares
      - You make money from Capital appreciation
      - Share splits

      And im far from financially illiterate - its classic risk/reward. Riskier product, but higher rewards (than your 0.5% ISA)

  7. Azathoth
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    I think,due to the circumstances,that FPL should allow us to make an extra transfer (without a -4 hit),if a player that we own must be quarantined.

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      nah. you can adjust your strategy to have viable subs.

    2. ilikewud
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      We do have a 4 man bench for a reason

    3. Flaming Flamingo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Disagree. It would be unlucky, yes, but so are injuries or players missing matches for family reasons etc.

  8. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Close to exit: Bellerin, Kolasinac, Sokratis, Torreira
    Potentially leaving: Holding, Chambers, Mustafi, Guendouzi, Elneny, Ozil, Lacazette

    Huge summer clear out to afford Partey & Aouar alongside Gabriel. Willian for free & Ceballos again on loan are also smart signings who will fit in well in the team.
    Let's get those deals done quick and continue rebuilding!

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Torreira?!

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Though I wont be too upset if he is lost whilst getting rid of the rest

      2. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Torreira leaving alog with guendo must mean that AMN is going to get a shot at midfield, right? At least as backup for Xhaka?

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Nah Partey

    2. ilikewud
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      So much dead weight in that team

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Does this mean AMN at RB/RWB? Please say yes.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Cedric

  9. MartialMatas
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    How does this team look?
    Thinking of just accepting that I won't have a full team gameweek 1
    Would normally play 352

    Ryan
    TAA Dier KWP Vinagre
    Aubameyang Salah Alli
    Werner Mitro Brewster

    Steer Greenwood Foden Branthwaite

    1. Flaming Flamingo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Unless you are very confident you won't be wildcarding early, I'd want to make sure I am fielding XI in GW1

    2. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good apart from Brewster. You better hope he gets a move.

    Can't say I like this content - more ways for people to lose their hard-earned cash in what is supposed to be a fun distraction to the the turmoils of the norm.

    Save your money - take your son/daughter to a future live game 🙂

      Or save even more money and don't have a kid in the first place 😛

        Absolutely - overrated at best! 😉

      It's utterly depressing! Can we cancel our membership and get a refund?

    Which 5.5m looks the standout in your opinion? Tbh it's a position where I don't mind a punt

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Armstrong for me

      1. MarvelouSuccess
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I'm afraid of potential rotation with Redmond, Djenepo and Boufal. At least ASM will start.

    2. olly:)
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      i’m tempted to punt on Podence personally, loved how he played at end of last season, obviously losing Doherty is a big negative but would sooner have a nailed a podence(if that’s possible) rather than an ASM or an Armstrong

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Jota was fit while Podence was impressing, right?

    3. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I just noticed that McGinn is only 5.5. That could be fun--after GW 1 of course.

      Bamford 🙂

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        In all seriousness probably a defender at that price, Tierney?

    5. Ser Davos
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      By all means disagree Berbs, but I'd honestly just get one of Anguissa/Reed/Bissouma and then upgrade other positions

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        +1

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I agree, does look better on paper at least

    6. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Another 5.0 def

  12. FPL Blow-In

    Why am I living in Ireland and our first game under the new manager on our nation channels is being shown as highlights after the Germany and Spain match ? Does somebody know if it is being televised?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Sky have it live

        Thanks

    2. Dynamic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Because Ireland are terrible, and the people want to watch a proper match of football.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        And you speak for “the people” of Ireland you do ?

        1. Dynamic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I was just trying to look at things from the perspective of the broadcaster and thought that this was the most likely reason as to why they came to this decision.

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Fair enough but your comment comes across quite dismissive considering it is an Irish person wanting to watch his country play that you are speaking with.

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I swore when Martin O'Neill was manager never to watch Ireland matches again. Wasted far too much of my short life watching goalless draws. Hope Kenny does a good job mind.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        To be fair to Kenny he has been saying that he wants to change peoples perception of the Irish team globally and be a high pressing team. He has only had 4 training sessions with the team mind, so it won’t be an overnight job!

        1. Je suis le chat
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          We've a bit of pace in the side so should be able to improve. I've been very offended with other countries dismissive perception of us. O'Neill was a charlatan living of Clough glories in the 70's.

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Yes I agree. Our last game we played 10 months ago against Denmark had very positive signs of improvement.

          2. Pep bites Kun
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Surprised at this comment, but not necessarily doubting.
            I watched a Netflix video which showed him in a good light. Anything you'd recommend to add balance?

  13. MarvelouSuccess
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone know if Saliba is nailed? I may pick him.

    1. Flaming Flamingo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      He's not I'm afraid

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Arsenal defence = Pep Guardiola at the moment.

  14. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Looks like Adama Traoré is a casual pick this season.

    Why is that?

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Rotation worries mainly

    2. olly:)
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      probably moves to right wing back which hurts his attacking-ness and also 1.0 more expensive than Podence and the same price as Jota, just ain’t value

  15. El Magico5
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Germany exempt from the 2 week quarentine?

  16. MarvelouSuccess
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    RMT

    McCarthy

    TAA KWP Vinagre Doherty

    Salah Auba (C) Son ASM

    Mitro Werner

    Button Lascelles Brewster Stephens

    Players I'm not sure on are KWP and ASM. I do have 1.5m in the bank to do Son > Bruno in GW2 though.

  17. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Rodrigo. Bum.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Should have scored.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Rodrigo flop

    3. No Professionals
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah that was pretty pathetic

  18. Red Red Robins
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Just seen this for a Man Utd formation

    DDG
    Shaw Maguire Lind Wan
    Matic
    Pog VDB
    Bruno
    Martial Rashford

    That to me does look very good, problem is i have Greenwood. Thoughts on whether thats what Ole could be looking at?

    1. ilikewud
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Honeslty I wouldn't be surprised if Ole runs this formation during the season. That being said, Greenwood is class and I hope he gets run in it. The kid can be special.

      1. Red Red Robins
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I see hom as a no9, so be back up to Martial, maybe even rotating given Martials on off form

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      He has played the diamond a few times before, and it worked well. But if that's the system he's working towards, why were they looking at Sancho?

      1. Red Red Robins
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Maybe thats a formation if they dont get Sancho?
        Either way, im not convinced Greenwood should be in my 11 now.

    3. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      May be an option for some games but benching Greenwood regularly would be a silly move from OGS. He's too good.

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        This, a worry about signing Sancho is that he'd impede Greenwood's progress so I can't see him being dropped.

    4. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Wan B as the only wide player seems like a major issue

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, I don't think either fullback is suited towards this system.

        1. Red Red Robins
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Wan did play better attacking wise after the restart though, and Shaw can get forward qwll, as can Williams

          1. Red Red Robins
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            *well

    5. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      The fullbacks are a problem.

  19. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Actually feels fresh not seeing any City assets in GW1, besides those who do not realise GW1 is a blank 😀

  20. Big Hippo
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Which combo scores more points this season do we think?

    A) Fernandes & Jimi
    B) Rashford & Werner

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Are you not making any transfers?

    2. Flaming Flamingo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      B imo

    3. ilikewud
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A

  21. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Mccarthy (4.0)
    Taa - Davies - Mitchell - Vinagre (Taylor)
    Auba - Salah - Alli - Soucek (Bissouma)
    Werner - Mitro - (Martial)

    Look good?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Souchek will probably not play gw1.

  22. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Havertz price prediction?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      9

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      8.5m

  23. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Bit ironic that Robert Pattinson has got covid, stopping production of Batman.

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      🙂 Is it really ironic or just unfortunate?

  24. sirmorbach
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    My plan for United is Greenwood + Martial, but VDB is really making me wonder. I think it would be stupid to bench Greenwood, but maybe Ole disagrees..

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      My plan is to get Bruno + Martial...

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        That would be my plan if I had 120m budget 🙂

        Actually, tbh I could do with another 40m. I'd also like Aguero + KDB + Sterling

        1. Gunners in Haaland
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          🙂

  25. Gudjohnsen

    Best 6 million midfielder or less that is not ASM?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…

    Thoughts on this unusual 5-3-2 please:

    McCarthy
    Trent, Digne, Doherty, Maitland-Niles*, Egan
    Salah, Aubameyang, Foden*
    Werner, Ings

    *I'll monitor those players

  27. rokonto
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Can anyone enlighten me?
    I saw on here a few weeks ago something about cash leagues not allowed.
    Was there a statement from FPL or something?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Change of wording in the rules.

      1. rokonto
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks, but whereabouts, I'm looking at the terms and conditions?

  28. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    The Nations League is so much better than friendlies. Competitive game with quality players.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Crap shot from Werner though.

  29. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts?

    GW 2 - Son and Ings ➡️ Bruno and DCL
    GW 3 - Auba - KDB.

    McCarthy Steer
    Trent Lamptey KWP Vinagre Lamptey
    Salah Auba ASM Son Soucek
    Ings Werner Brewster.

    What’s the downsides of playing 4-3-3 with 2 4.5’s in your midfield? Serious question

    1. Logic
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      It's what i am planning

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Only one i can see is you can't jump on a cheap midfielder in hot form.

      Nothing else. Defenders definitely good value over most of cheaper midfielders.

    3. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Simply put, you're missing out on two spots which could be midfielders. You decide whether that's a problem, but typically midfielders have the best chance of getting hauls because of their extra point per goal compared to forwards (hence why 3-5-2 is popular)

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        En one extra for cs

    4. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Not much downside but I'd want to see which 4.5 mids are actually playing first, and getting points

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        There are no reliable 4.5m mids, let alone 2

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Lemina can be one. Worth keeping eyes on

    5. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Started with it last season and will probably start this season with that formation too. Easy to go 343 when you have a little bit more team value.
