Top FanTeam tips from 2020/21 champion and €200k winner Josh Wooldridge


Sponsored by FanTeam


FanTeam’s season-long Premier League Fantasy game has launched for 2021/22, with another guaranteed £1m up for grabs.

And who better to turn to for tips on the big-money FPL-style game than Josh Wooldridge, the winner of last season’s €200k first prize.

We’re delighted that Josh is joining Fantasy Football Scout for the upcoming campaign and you’ll be able to read his thoughts on these pages over the coming year.

Josh’s first article is a beginner’s guide to FanTeam, although there is plenty of sage advice for those who have played the game before.


Hello, everyone. Since this is my first article for Fantasy Football Scout, allow me to introduce myself. I am Josh, one of Scout’s newest Pro Pundits, who will be specialising in FanTeam this year.

I was lucky enough to win the FanTeam 2020/21 Premier League season-long game in May, scooping an amazing €200,000 in the process, and still can’t quite believe it!

Since FanTeam is still a growing company, and may not be known to you all, I felt it would be useful to write a piece describing the basics of the game, and how it differs from the more well-known Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

What is FanTeam? Similiarities to FPL

FanTeam's £1m season-long Premier League Fantasy game launches

You’ll be pleased to know that a huge percentage of the game is identical to FPL.

You still have to pick 15 players – two goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders and three forwards – and you start with a £100m budget. One free transfer is allowed per week and can be rolled over.

There are also two Wildcards on FanTeam, one to be used in the first half of the season, and one in the second. A lot of the basic scoring is also the same, with some notable exceptions.

So far, so FPL.

What is FanTeam? Differences to FPL

The main differences between FanTeam and FPL are subtle, but significant in terms of decision making. The biggest contrast between the two games, in my opinion, is the lack of chips; in FPL you have your two Wildcards and your three additional chips but with FanTeam, you have just the two Wildcards.

So saving transfers and utilising your bench is much more significant on FanTeam, as your Wildcards should be held back, where possible, to manoeuver through periods of double and blank Gameweeks. I suppose in this regard, FanTeam is similar to ‘old school’ FPL before the chips were brought into existence. 

On FanTeam, you get one extra point if your midfielder or striker completes 90 minutes. There are also no FPL-style bonus points, which actually means that the scores on the website are accurate as soon as the full-time whistle blows.

However, there are ‘impact points’ and additional rewards for shots on target – all of which are detailed below:

ActionPoints
Team ‘wins’ when a player is on the pitch+0.3
Team ‘loses’ when a player is on the pitch-0.3
Shot on target – forward/midfielder+0.4
Shot on target – defender+0.6
Shot on target – goalkeeper+1.0

Goalkeepers on FanTeam also score a lot differently, with 0.5 points awarded per save as opposed to the one point per three stops in FPL. Saves are therefore more important on FanTeam as they are rewarded more kindly.

Finally, players lose two points if they concede a penalty or a freekick which leads to a goal. 

It seems like I have listed an awful lot of differences here but I hope you can appreciate that most of them are relatively slight. As a result, FanTeam can very much be played alongside FPL, even if you may make a few different picks by game (not least because some players are priced differently on each site!).

I would even go as far as saying the two games complement each other and your usual FPL articles, podcasts and Premium Members Area data will give you a lot of relevant information to help you make your FanTeam decisions, too.

For a £20 investment to enter a team, which gives you a chance to win a life-changing amount of money using your Fantasy Football skills, I truly cannot recommend the game enough. 

FanTeam: Types of players to buy

I acknowledge that this is a lot to take in, so next, I want to talk about how all this affects the type of player you may want to bring in.

    What chance Tuchel will use Harvertz as false as early gw 1 to 3?

        You think Haaland wont sign?

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          He's so much cheaper next year... can't see him move this year.

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      A. They'll sign a striker

    3. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years

      Werner started as centre forward in 5 out of the last 6 games of the season and also started centre forward for both semis and the final of the CL.

  3. Bobby Digital

    Play one GW1:

    A. Raphinha (mun)
    B. Lamptey (bur)
    C. Brownhill (BHA)

    1. arcticalex17
      • 3 Years

      I like brownhill’s chances here. Good creativity against Brighton’s high line

    2. I Member

      A

    3. Fletch69

      A - All day long

  4. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Reckon John Stones should start fairly often for City right?

    1. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah you’d assume 8 games out of 10. Just be prepared for a benching - even more annoying when it’s a slam dunk home game.

    2. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Magic 8 Ball says, "without a doubt"

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Tough to predict, Laporte is too good to be on bench in every game.

  5. gomez123

    Any links on here or spreadsheets listing any prize leagues to enter for free??

    Thoughts on first draft?

    Sanchez
    TAA Robbo Shaw Fofana
    Bruno Salah Grealish
    DCL Iheanacho Barnes

    Gilmour Moder Omoba

    1. Bobby Digital

      Like it

    2. arcticalex17
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Always try to be wary of doubling up on defenders but this may work in your favour given pool’s first game

      1. Jimbo-Jones
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Agree when picking defenders primarily for CS.
        And 343 with Robbo>Mount/Zaha/Maddison is definitely an option.
        But Robbo and TAA are arguably as threatening as any 7m mid, with the added bonus of huge CS potential.
        And more nailed than e.g. Jota.

    3. Jrot94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Same as mine, except I like a 5.5 defender (over robbo) and going 6.5 MF (over Barnes at 5.5) and gain other 4.5 defender to have a bench player

      1. Jimbo-Jones
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Which mid do you like at 6.5m? Feels quite slim pickings apart from Raph who I love but has v tough early fixtures.
        Agree that Barnes is a pretty weak link though...!

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          6.5: Raph and Buendia. Possibles - Saka and Alli

          1. Jrot94
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            This, and Sarr is watchlist and maybe squeeze an extra 0.5 for Barnes (lei) depending on pre-season

  7. arcticalex17
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Is Jorginho (£6m) a good purchase given his penalty threat? I think it’s a good mid-range midfielder to accompany premium ones like Salah and Bruno

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I tried it last season at 5m. He's not a good fantasy option. Of you're looking for a mid in that range who's nailed and on penalties, look at JWP

      1. Just Fofana
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I'm thinking about adding JWP to my squad, but... if Ings stays at Southampton, who will be 1st choice penalty taker... Ings or JWP?

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Ings, JWP is decent with his setpiece threat but he's naturally a much better asset when Ings is unavailable

          1. Just Fofana
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Yep, I agree... if Ings moves, then JWP will be much more tempting, assuming that JWP will then be on penalties

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Harrison same price.

  8. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking of going without a Liverpool defender. Here are the several reasons:

    1. VVD is not completely ready.
    2. Alison will join the training camp late.
    3. No Wijnaldum
    4. Rumour of Hendo leaving

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      1. Still think Trent and Robbo have enough attacking threat to be viable whether VvD is ready or not.
      2. Don't see this being an issue.
      3. Potentially a factor but he was poor last season anyway.
      4. Haven't heard this.

      1. arcticalex17
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Contract trouble with FSG and hendo ive seen. But I reckon it’s bs

    2. arcticalex17
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Seems smart. I think while the clean sheets may not be certain, the threat of robbo and TAA when they’re on all the set plays is still important.

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Not worth the outlay. Clean sheets are bread and butter for defenders.

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          They will keep clean sheets though.

          1. R.C
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Will they?

            1. Dthinger
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              I think they will keep as many as most other teams, but probably not as many as they did two seasons ago. So, with the added offensive output I think they are still good options.

    3. Fletch69
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I sort of agreed. Went with Robbo in the end though as they still hit 160 points last year in a poor season by there standards

    4. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Trent has more points per million than both Bruno and Salah and he had a mediocre season.

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        They are not comparable. You have to double the points for Bruno and Salah whenever you've capped them.

  9. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    New draft. Thoughts?

    Sanchez
    Chilwell Lamptey Fofana
    Salah Sterling Son Mahrez Buendia
    Wilson Toney

    Steele Doherty Tsmikas Obafemi

  10. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on Pickford as the set and forget goalkeeper?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Not a bad punt before WC. Can't trust their defense but their fixtures are fine and it can be sorted on WC if it goes wrong.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Good pick imo. I started with him before shaving off 0.5 and plumping for Sanchez.

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I feel Lamptey is a better option from BHA and dont feel like doubling up.

    3. arcticalex17
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I can never truly trust Pickford in an Everton shirt. The man makes too many mistakes. Had had 10 mistakes leading to a goal over the last 3 seasons (most of anyone).

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        maybe, but with Bentiez in charge they *should* concede fewer chances, right?

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

    your thoughts on this final version 🙂

    Bachmann
    TAA-Shaw-Coufal
    Salah-Son-Grealish-Raphinha
    Toney-DCL-Cavani

    Foster-Lamptey-Ayling-Bissouma

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

      or watkins - Antonio instead of Toney and Cavani?

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I'm on Antonio and Watkins but I do really like the Cavani punt. Toney I'm less convinced by.

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

          I will need Cavani to cover Bruno's potential scores.

          1. I Member
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah makes sense.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      It's excellent, in my book. Shows what you can do when you lose Bruno.

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

        indeed mate

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I'm sure it won't be the final version but I like it a lot.

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

        hahah thanks mate

  12. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Assuming lamp or ayling on bench....

    Cancelo or stones ?

    1. arcticalex17
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Given the performances in the euros, pep may start Walker and Zinchenko at full back against Spurs

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Would you not have thought Walker is eased back in after the euros ?

        1. arcticalex17
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Well cancelo had COVID. Can’t imagine he’ll be thrown back in either. The break is reasonably long enough

  13. arcticalex17
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Jorginho (£6m) a good mid range midfielder cos of the penalty threat. Accompanied by Salah, Bruno and maybe Saka (plays Brentford first)

    1. arcticalex17
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      What do you think??

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Wow, he's 6m? I assumed he was still 5m.

      1. arcticalex17
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Chelsea top goalscorer

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      No, Harrison got 50 more points at the same price and doesn’t have horrible fixtures

      1. arcticalex17
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Jorginho scored 2 at home against Crystal palace last year early on in the season, along with a goal away at Spurs. I thought these early games suited him tbh

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Don’t forget they were handing penalties out like sweets last season, they are a lot more reluctant to give them now and if the euro’s is anything to go by that will continue

          1. arcticalex17
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            That’s an interesting point actually. Would you think the inclusion of Bruno may not be a good move then?

            1. Steve The Spud
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              I would still have Bruno because he has good open play threat for goals and assists as well as some dead ball situations + penalties

  14. Dr. Rog
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez 4
    TAA Robbo Shaw (Lamp/Ayling)
    Salah Son Rafa ESR 4.5
    Cavani Antonio Watkins

    1. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good…but I wouldn’t trust ESR and Cavani

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Cavani will be fine until Europe comes along, but for sure is an easy shave if im looking for cash elsewhere, or chicken out and go for the template midfield with Bruno.

        ESR is an absolute steal, #10 at a top half club for 5.5m? Absolutely worth the risk and ignoring weeks 2&3 the fixtures are excellent. As soon as he scores will be the early bandwagon of the season. If Rafa is underpriced, then ESR is even more so.

        1. Winston.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Ok, need to consider ESR again…do you think he is nailed ? At 5.5 maybe Mbuemo also an option…

        2. el polako
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          No rush to start with ESR, Chelsea and City in game weeks 2 & 3.

  15. Dogs Of War
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Any holes with the flexibility of this team?

    Bachmann Sanchez
    TAA Digne Shaw Fofana Ayling
    Salah Bruno Buendia Raphina ESR
    DCL Toney Pukki

    4-4-2 with the flexibility to change after Pukki’s first four fixtures. Having ESR as a fifth midfielder also creates options.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      That forward line would worry me.

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Toney, Buendia, Pukki is a large commitment to promoted players in my view.
      Are we sure Buendia is going to start too? Villa is a new club - might need to prove himself still.

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Villa can't afford to keep player Buendia on the bench, he will play and pretty sure he will deliver.

  16. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Reece James or Rudiger?

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      James for attacking threat

    2. Moxon
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      James.

    3. arcticalex17
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I would steer clear of Chelsea defenders for the opening weeks though. Not a good run of games against very attacking teams

    4. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Probably James, but make sure your bench can catch your fall in case he's benched. Tuchel's a bit rotational with the full-backs/wing-backs.

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Who can play instead of him?

        1. shapply
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Azpi or Hudson-Odoi

    5. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers all

  17. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    A. Antonio + Buendia or
    B. Toney + Greenwood/Jota?

    1. arcticalex17
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I would usually go for A but rashford’s injured for the first 2 months and Greenwood is kinda nailed for Man Utd. So I think B

    2. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      A. I dont like Toney or Greenwood. Too much uncertainty

  18. Flynny

    A) DCL & Sarr
    B) Nacho & Buendia
    C) Jota & Buendia

    This is my dilema in finalizing the team. Which combo would you go with?

    2 years, 8 months ago

    First "same as everyone else's only slightly different" draft of the season:

    Sanchez / (Foster)
    Alexander-Arnold - Shaw - Digne - Coufal - (Williams)
    Salah - Fernandes - Havertz - Raphinha - (Brownhill)
    Calvert-Lewin - Watkins - (Obafemi)

    1. x.jim.x
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Considering Targett for Coufal too, as well as Mahrez in place of Havertz (and -0.5 somewhere else).

    2. arcticalex17
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I’ve heard that Digne may miss the start of the season through injury

      1. x.jim.x
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I thought he was okay and that Shaw (who can be swapped for Wan-Bissaka) was the only concern now? If not, I can swap him for Targett and upgrade Williams to Lamptey for a bit of bench support.

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, could work indeed…but will Havertz start all the games? The bench is light especially in these covid times…

      1. x.jim.x
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        No idea, but you'd think so unless they sign a proper striker, especially after his showing at the Euros. Potentially thinking of downgrading Coufal to Lamptey and upgrading Havertz to Mahrez, but we'll see what joy pre-season brings.

  21. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Really thinking about Ferran Torres. If he can consistently start, and especially up top through the middle, at just 7.0, could be a tasty option. First few games should provide a much better picture of his nailedness, as nailed as someone can be at City.

    1. arcticalex17
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      City midfielders are impossible to nail it seems.

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      At his price is worth the risk, also consider Foden who have been over the years carefully nurtured to be City's great star and something tells me this might be the season when Pep is going to fully unleash young Phil.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Probably need an injury to one of Sterling, Mahrez, Foden, Torres (and Jesus to a certain extent) to thin the pack a little

      And also need city not to repeat their start from last season where they were pretty lacklustre until around Christmas when KDB dropped out of the team

    4. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I am on Torres and will keep unless they sign a striker. Only question is, is Havertz one punt too many?

  22. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA Lamptey x
    Salah Bruno Raphinha x
    DCL Antonio x
    (Foster - Ayling - Brownhill - 4.0)

    Struggling with 3 spots in my team for a combined total of 20m. Some options:

    A) Watkins, Greenwood & 5m def
    B) Toney, Buendia & Robertson
    C) Watkins, Buendia & Shaw/Digne
    D) Toney, Grealish & Shaw/Digne
    E) Any other options?

    1. arcticalex17
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      A

      Watkins early games are great
      Greenwood will almost assuredly play since rashford injury

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I like this option if I know Greenwood is starting the season. There some other 7.5m mids too who look interesting.

    2. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      ignoring City then?

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Can't butcher my team to fit Mahrez in.

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          get Cancelo

          1. R.C
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Mahrez and Cancelo are terrible picks.

            1. R.C
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              Even Zinchenko is a better option

              1. SkyCell
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 8 months ago

                Zinchenko wants out. I wouldn’t touch him

            2. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              Thanks man. Appreciate it.

            3. SkyCell
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              What? How come? I get that Mahrez might be a rotation risk as anyone at City but surely a good option. Cancelo looks to be first choise in both full back positions

              1. R.C
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 8 months ago

                No Cancelo is not first choice

                1. Christina.
                  • 14 Years
                  2 years, 8 months ago

                  so who is?

                  1. Wild Rover
                    • 13 Years
                    2 years, 8 months ago

                    He’s clueless

                    1. R.C
                      • 6 Years
                      2 years, 8 months ago

                      Lol you're clueless. They're trying to sign a new LB.

            • 14 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Ps: not that difficult to fit Mahrez in, while still holding on to Taa, Mo and Bruno. Not much difference between the rest making up your team and a Mahrez team. Definitely not "butchering".

            1. Karan14
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              I'll have to get Toney & another 4.5 def to afford Mahrez. That's doesn't look good at all.

              1. Christina.
                • 14 Years
                2 years, 8 months ago

                You can get Taa, Mo, Bruno, Ollie AND Mahrez. Rest not to shabby neither.(no need for Toney) But hey what do I know!
                😉

          3. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Could be decent but not long before he gets rotated I guess.
            Prefer Chilwell at that price if I knew he's starting the season.

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      C or D…not sure yet

    4. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      C by a mile for me

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        It looks great for the first 3 fixtures I agree but then it's transfers waiting to happen with double Villa attack.

        Also there are some doubts surrounding Shaw as he suffered a rib injury at Euros. And can we really trust Everton defence?

        1. Winston.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          What about Iheanacho, Buendia and Shaw?…if Shaw fit.

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Good option if I know Iheanacho starts the season. I guess I have to wait for pre season to be sure about these positions.

            1. Winston.
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              I believe he will start, and most probably they will be playing with two forwards

    5. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      C with Shaw (for now)

  23. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Hi All

    Would love feedback on the below first draft please

    Sanchez

    TAA | Shaw | Coufal

    Raphinha | Buendia | Salah | Fernandes

    Antonio | DCL | Iheanacho

    Lamptey > Brownhill > Williams

    Thanks

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Looking good. Prefer Watkins to Antonio.

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Template face.

  24. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    How's she looking?

    Sanchez
    Robertson, Shaw, Fofana
    Salah, Fernandes, Son, Buendia, Harrison
    Watkins, Toney

    (4.0, White (if ARS), Lamptey, Davis)

    Cheers

    1. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I am also toying with having Son, but yours looks a great team

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. Every time I have gone without Son it has not turned out well. If Kane stays, he's a must for me...

    When are most people planning their WC. Prob going to do mine after gw3.

    1. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Early autumn the plan, around GW9-10.

    2. Christina.

      yeah, asap

      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Set myself a target of a Chrimbo wildcard and zero hits.

      So yeah, probably around GW3.

  26. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Sanchez or Bachmann ? Foster and Lamptey in the team as well…

    1. arcticalex17
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Bachmann

  27. Hangman Page
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    I believe there’s no limit to the number of teams you can enter on FanTeam?

    Does that mean you’d be competing v teams of people with 100 teams who’d pooled their cash, covering every base with their selections?

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yep, and if they are investing that much wonga, you know they know what they are doing.

    2. Cheeto__Bandito
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, but that does not mean they make the right decision for next 37 weeks

  28. R.C

  29. Walter White (WW)

    Who is the best striker for gw 1? A striker you think will definitely score points

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Toney

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Interesting. I’ve got him too. Hope he does well. Arteta is a modern day fraud imo. Preferred him as a player but not as a manager

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Mebude

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Which club does he play for?

        1. Walter White (WW)
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Oh I’ve just seen he plays for Chelsea 😉

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Antonio looks a good bet against Newcastle.

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Yes. Thanks

      2. Soto Ayam
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Wilson has a great record against West Ham. I'd prefer him than Antonio

    4. One Man
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Nacho or Watkins

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. What about Ings? I want someone on pens just incase

        1. One Man
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Not convinced about Ings, but go with your gut.

    5. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Antonio vs Castle, and maybe DCL vs S'oton (but he won't get many chances). Banter aside, the other notoriously bad defences are facing teams without talismanic strikers

    6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Wilson, loves playing against West Ham

    7. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Kane.

    8. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks all

  30. Khalico

    for 4.5m, Ait Nouri or Ayling?

    1. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Ayling seems a bit more nailed and reliable imo

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I'm keeping a close eye on Ait Nouri, but it's too early to know if he's nailed or how the new manager sets up. So starting with Ayling.
