GoalScorer Challenge

Win a Scout Premium Membership with GoalScorer Challenge

Fantasy Football Scout have once again teamed up with the popular GoalScorer Challenge (GSC) competition this season.

We will be giving away a Premium Membership to the best manager every month to go with the game’s £500 top prize for the campaign’s overall winner.

If you have not played before, GoalScorer Challenge is a very simple and free game.

Every week, you pick one player from the Premier League who you think is most likely to score. The more goals that man racks up, the more points you get. But pick wisely, as you can only select each player once per season.

GoalScorer Challenge (@GoalscorerC) | Twitter

There are three types of Gameweek:

Premier League – most weekends there will be a full round of league fixtures which will all be included. If there is a full round of matches during midweek (for example over the Christmas period) these will be counted as a separate Gameweek.

International – during international breaks, you still have to pick a Premier League player, but instead for their country. There are 10 international Gameweeks this season.

Cup – on FA Cup weekends, you are again limited to players playing for Premier League teams. The EFL Cup final will also be included as it will take place alongside a regular round of Premier League matches.

GSC is free to play and it only takes a minute to enter each week. You can create mini-leagues and play against your friends, too.

Full details, rules and entry can be FOUND HERE.

    So is Sanchez over his injury?

      Is Michael Obafemi near a place for Southampton?

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I woul say no as we were trying to sell him

    Hi all anyone considering willock for the 6m -6.5 category in their midfield? Not seen him pop in many teams so far

    1. Aztec Kamara
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He’s been in my draft for a while subject to the move. Just needs a portion of last year’s output to be great value.

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Personally I am looking at starting with Wilson and won't want to double up, for others it may just be they're rather say Harrison/WHM mid in that price range or have stretched up to a 6.5. Think he's a good option but I'd be surprised if he starts the season the same way he ended the last one

      1. Aztec Kamara
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah I’m currently on both but agree with you I’m not keen on the double-up. I like both of them at those price points though and can shift Harrison around W5 if it’s not working out.

        1. mrrahrah
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Yup that makes total sense double toon would be a bridge too far. I think down the road a double up of Harrison and raph might be on the cards when their fixtures turn so maybe willock is an ok placeholder as long as he starts this weekend.

          Otherwise it’s maybe sarr but I’m not totally convinced

      Hi @MRRAHRAH,

      I'm one of the captains in the Strikers Keepers, Losers Weepers team tournament on FFS. Are you available to join a team at the moment?

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

        Hi there thanks for reaching out. I think you are the first captain to have gotten in touch so totally free to join!

        Cheers

        1. Chandler Bing
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          That's great to hear man. Glad to have you on board. Could you pass on your mail so we can talk personally?

          1. mrrahrah
            • 14 Years

            No worries it’s jamesastin007@gmail.com

  3. How I met your Mata
    • 8 Years

    Shaw a must??

    1. Aztec Kamara
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      No. But a solid option at the price and the highest owned player. AWB outscored him throughout last year though. I think a lot are picking on eye test and higher potential for attacking returns.

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        This

  4. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Please help with the below team:
    28m in the bank.

    Sanchez
    TAA Veltman White Amartey Tsimikas
    Salah Bruno Son xxxx xxxx
    Obafemi xxxx xxxx

    A. Ings + Toney + Greenwood + Benrahma
    B. Ings + Antonio + ESR + Barnes
    C. Ings + Antonio + Greenwood + Barnes (TAA to Shaw)
    D. Any other suggestion

    1. Dille
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      C

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Happy to go without TAA?

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      B for me

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        B comes down to
        TAA+ ESR or Shaw + Greenwood.

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Think first option just as I wouldn't want to start without TAA, not the biggest fan of ESR but could be worth starting with

          1. King Kohli
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Cheers mate

  5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I thought my tinkering would decrease, not increase, as we got closer to deadline.

    1. How I met your Mata
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah I feel I have tinkered more this season than any other

  6. Dille
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this current draft plz. Just removed Barnes + Dias for Jota + Cresswell.

    Bachmann (Foster)
    TAA Shaw Cresswell Veltman Amartey
    Salah Bruno Jota Greenwood Raphina
    Antonio Toney Obafemi

  7. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Only have space for one. Who would you choose?

    A. Ings
    B. Antonio

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Antonio

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Ings

    3. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Difficult call. Both are made of glass, but could fly.

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Agreed, A is slightly 'safer' as he's spent the pre season with his side but I normally always pick the more expensive of the 2 if money is no issue as it's easier to downgrade than upgrade in the early stages if there's an injury or RC or something

    4. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Villa are basically a whole new frontline. Will take time to gel

  8. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Folks, who is the best 5.0 defender?
    That’s not Coufal

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Dunk?

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Konsa

    3. How I met your Mata
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Keane

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Long term maybe Reguilon or Tierney.

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        What about Targett, I was thinking of getting him in what do you think?

    5. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Dunk

    6. West End Exile
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Dunk

    7. hogree
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Cash

  9. drughi
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    How about this draft ? Rocking a 4-4-2

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Cresswell Cash
    Son Bruno Salah Raphinha
    Antonio Toney

    Foster Veltman Amartey Obafemi

  10. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Any good?

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Coufal, Tsimikas
    Salah, Fernandes, Son, Greenwood
    Antonio, Toney

    (Foster, White, Bissouma, Davis)

    Likely go for Gundogan GW2 and see how Villa and Chelsea shape up.

    Cheers.

  11. Dr. Rog

    Rumour mill and a potential template buster cos Eddie is actually really good

    Willock (£6.0) ~ Newcastle ~ £25m
    Nketiah (£5.5) ~ Brighton ~ £20m

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I like Nketiah

    2. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Willock is really interesting me. Averaged almost 6 points per 90 when he played

    3. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Nketiah could become a season keeper for that price. We know Brighton can create. He would only need goal involvement once every 2-3 games which I think he could beat at times.

  12. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Has Michael Obafemi featured much and been involved in any goals in Southampton friendlies?

    Calling in Saints fans.

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Saints fan here.
      He has featured yes, 0 goals and 1 assist in the 4 pre-season games.

      Offers are on the table for both Adam Armstrong and Armando Broja.
      He will likely go into the season 5th choice, however, that's not including, Redmond & Walcott who can all play as a 9 in our system.

      (Adams & Tella are the other two strikers)

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers fella

  13. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Jota or Greenwood, Greenwood or Jota...grrrrrr.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Toss that coin.

      Apparently Greenwood is the best natural finisher at United.

      He grew up in Wibsey on the edge of Bradford so would love to score against Leeds for many reasons no doubt.

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      This, atm on both but it feel to risky

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        All in or play safe scenario. Go for both with an early WC?

    3. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I’ve been going back and forth, currently on Greenwood just because I want Tsimikas at 4.0

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        On Jota now.

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Just remember Gomez and Milner can play there.

    4. How I met your Mata
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      surprised no one is considering gundagon in this debate

  14. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I make the same mistake each year. Ownership. I pick what I think is a good side with possible captain transfers. Points fails with high ownership threatens my TV in GW2 and I WC early. Toney is a good reason to stay away. A price drop is far worse than an increase in terms of realizing value if you know what I mean.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Toney will be 6.3 or 6.8 by GW3

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        more likely 6.3. already has high ownership and plays Arsenal first cant see him getting much there.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          If ever there was an early trap, he is one.

        2. Gomolon
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Could easily be my first FT used, tempted to start with Rodrigo instead and can join the Toney Train a little late if needs be

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yep. The 6.3 hurts more so inevitable bandwagon tfr. No spare cash and you are struggling to find an alternative.

        1. FourLokoLeipzig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Easy switch to Pukki if Toney doesn’t get going (but I think he will)

          1. Gabbiadini
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Norwich will have some stronger alternatives at striker than last time in the Prem.

          2. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Yep. Easy switch to Citeh away and 2 other hard fixtures thereafter (smile) One price trap to another.

            1. FourLokoLeipzig
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 9 months ago

              That would be some serious knee-jerking. Pukki’s fixtures are lovely from week 5, and I fully intend to give my cheapest attacker 4 games unless injured

              1. Eze Really?
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 9 months ago

                Well. Most use a WC before week 4 or 7 so that has little bearing. I will admit I am not a fan of Norwich but Buendia moving makes me more prone to avoid.

      3. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        This is why I am very tempted to start without him, fell for the Mitrovic trap last year and it almost feels similar

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          So right. Not for me. I would have to keep spare cash in the bank which I would want to move from Havertz to Son.

      Tsimikas?

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Isn’t he a one week punt if at all?

        1. Gabbiadini
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Depends on the extent. May not be.

  16. Nolberto Solano
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Which option?

    A) Digne & Raphinha
    B) Coufal & Barnes

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      B

    2. mack
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Probably B although both great options

  17. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    A) Tsimikas, Raphinha, Havertz
    B) Amartey, Jota, Gundogan
    C) Tsimikas, 6.0, Mahrez

    Sanchez Foster
    TAA, Shaw, Coufal, Veltman XX
    Salah, Bruno, Barnes, XX, XX
    Antonio, Toney, XX

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. Nolberto Solano
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      C with Benrahma

      1. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        He nailed? Seems to be on form in pre-season!

        1. Nolberto Solano
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Il be shocked if he doesn’t start first game, but if he has a stinker I can see him getting dropped

  18. Make United Great Again

    What’s the league code for this site?

  19. mack
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    GTG?

    Sanchez
    TAA, Dias, Shaw, Tsimikas
    Salah, Son, Mahrez, Greenwood
    Ings, Antonio

    Virginia, ESR, Amartey, Obafemi

    Main question is:
    TAA and ESR or Jota and 5.5 Def

  20. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Mahrez or Havertz?

    1. mack
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Mahrez

    2. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Mahrez but 0.5 more so not the easiest comparison

    3. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Havertz +0.5 can easily become Mahrez for GW2 in case you can't make up your mind.

  21. xHaTr

    Thoughts on this 3-5-2? Thinking that Benrahma could be changed to Willock once he moves to Newcastle

      2 years, 9 months ago

      B

    2. Nolberto Solano

      2 years, 9 months ago

      A

  23. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Would be pretty good business from the Gooners if they sell Willock and Nketiah for the price of White.

    Two academy developed fringe players for one starter.

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      We'll end up regretting selling Eddie I'm sure. He is clinical.

      He will spend 2 seasons at Brighton score 30 goals and end up moving to Chelsea for £75m.
      Then he will fail there as every other striker does and move to Villa for £25m and score 20 a season for 3 years until Chelsea decide to buy him back for £100m aged 29, play him for a season and then loan him to Southampton.

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Hahaha quite the prediction. It's a huge jump from mid table Premier league to striker at a top European club. We will see if he can cut it, but more often than not they don't.

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Love the process (smile)

  24. Dr. Rog
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    The injuries have created something of an opportunity to really attack the first 3 GWs and then wildcard thereafter into a proper team.

    Sanchez 4
    Shaw Tsmikis Amartey (Velt/Ayling)
    Salah Bruno Son Greenwood Barnes
    Ings Antonio 4.5

    1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Thinking similar

    2. King Kohli
      • 11 Years

      Have the exact same draft.
      Only thing I'm considering is TAA or Greenwood.

        I didnt want TAA+Robbo as I dont believe in the Liverpool double up.

        With Robbo out thats even more true so it comes down to a straight choice between Tsimikis @4 or TAA @7.5
        Attacking returns are great and all but this one is a no-brainer.

      2. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I prefer this but not as a back 4.
        Toney over Antonio, with 6.5 4th and 5th midfielders.

      Who all can possibly play LB for Liverpool?

      Just Tamikas & Milner? Or can some of those other dweebs on their roster deputise? The Davies lad who’s even more injury prone than Matip or that other clown Nico Williams for example etc?

      If the 4.0 is nailed I’d start with him for a laugh for Norwich & take a punt… then Milner gets rolled onto the teamsheet 😆

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        these are good points

        1. Dr. Rog
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          I'll counter with an outcomes analysis

          Tsmikis starts = Banged a value player who will cover most of TAAs points and will be 4.2 come the wildcard window and can move him on.
          Tsimikis doesnt starts = I've got Veltman/Ayling to cover and Tsimikis is still doing a job as an enabler. You wont get firesale of such a player so cant really lose value. Main downside is the liverpool defensive hole I suppose but the extra 3.5m probably means its made up elsewhere

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Gomez?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Like many, I'm currently on TAA, Salah and Jota. If Tsimi is nailed to start, it leaves me with a dilemma - who do I drop? The one I lose could haul and Pool fail to keep a clean sheet. Trickier than it looks.

    Any issues / concerns with this team? Thanks a lot!

    Martinez
    TAA – Shaw – Cresswell
    Bruno – Salah – Barnes – Benrahma – Sarr
    Ings – Toney

    (Subs: Sanchez – Toney – Ayling – Obafemi)

      Should be Coady as sub (not Toney). Thanks.

    What price will Lukaku role in at 11.5 / 12???

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      11.5 is my guess but 12.0 wouldn't surprise me.

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      11 would be my guess

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I think he will come in at 10.5 or 11

    4. FPL_Pugster
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure as FPL knows he's a proven EPL goal scorer so they will chuck him in at the high end at 11.5-12

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Tough one. 12m would probably be right. Got to be similar price to Kane.

    5. Big Mac 24
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      High end so 11.5 I’d say

    6. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      used to be 11m
      now playing for a proper club and comes with an enhanced reputation.

      that probably puts him at 12.

      but FPL have been pretty generous this year with pricing so im going to call it 11.5.

    Thoughts on this draft?

    Bachman
    TAA / Tsimkas / digne
    Salah / Fernandes / son / ESR
    Toney / Wilson / Antonio

    Foster / white / amartey/ bissouma

  28. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this assuming Lukaku comes in at 11.5 - bit punty in midfield

    Bachmann (Foster)
    TAA Cancelo Shaw (White Amartey)
    Salah Jota Gundogan Barnes Benrahma
    Lukaku Antonio (4.5)

    where has the confidence that Tsimkas will start in Robertson's absence come from? I'm sure he hasn't come in previously when there have been injuries.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years

      Klopp talked up Kostas' chances a few days ago. But really, we have to await further news from the gaffer.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Nobody on here knows to be saying definitively whether it's milner or tsmikas, I think it will be tsmikas because klopp has talked him up and he's done well in pre season and I think milner is needed in midfield. Saying Tsmikas hasn't started before doesn't mean much, he has to eventually but could easily milner LB though

      • Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I will make one point. If you are Tsimikis and you have Robbo ahead of you, you know you will never win his place.
        So if Klopp doesnt play him now, whats his future exactly?

    3. TheTinman
      • 8 Years

      Caveat King, any news on DCL? I read just a minor knock in training so more being very safe than risking him. I think he will start and if he does I'll have him. Rafa got a lot out of Rondon and in general the team stayed wide and got a lot of balls into the middle. Can see him doing well with those opening fixtures.
