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.

    RMT:

    Ederson (Steele)
    Shaw, Tsimikas, TAA (Ayling & Veltman rotate if Robbo okay)
    Bruno, Jota, Mahrez, Barnes (Raph)
    Antonio, Maupay, Ings

      Risky without Salah but I like it. Do not like Maupay one bit though.

      1. StevenW
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        Maupay + Raph to Rich + Brownhill + 1m ITB for changes?

          Rich has just finished olympics right? Surely won’t play

          1. StevenW
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 18 days ago

            Would have Watkins but flagged. Might take the chance

    Wow where has all the Greenwood love come from?

  3. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    A) Havertz & Raphina
    B) Greenwood & Barnes

    1. Steiger
      • 8 Years

      A

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      I liked Havertz until lukaku cane into the picture

  4. Jdpz
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Is Pereira nailed? and good differential?

  5. Bushman
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Morning, do you think Dele Alli will be a starter this season? I know it's risky given I'm doing a no transfers set and forget league, and I know there's good alternatives at £6-£6.5m price point, but I'm so tempted by him. Cheers

  6. Magic Zico

    Bottomed

    Just tried these def combo: Shaw Cancelo Tierney Regulion Tsimikas

    GW1: nor bre LEE
    GW2: BUR NOR wol
    GW3: wol ARS WAT
    GW4: NOR NEW cry
    GW5: CRY bur SOU

    What do you think?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Looks great on paper but I worry you’ll be leaving a lot of points on the bench each week

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        True, but if ditching TAA for Tsimikas that what 'we' could get

    2. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Cancelo nailed? Walker must be due back soon?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        Exciting and good back up on the bench

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Very nice.

    4. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      TAA Betrand White Veltman Tsimikas
      works quite well.

      TAA > Shaw in GW3

  7. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    What are a few A or B questions people have still have?

    1. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      A) Raphinha (352)

      B) Toney (343)

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        A better long term imo

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      A. Jota + Benrahma
      B. Raphina + Barnes

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        Should say - this is short term only

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 18 days ago

          A for me if short term. I think option B are both players who are season keepers but i back Benrahma and Jota to do well before European rotation kicks in

  8. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Best £6.5m?

    Raphinha (352)

    Toney (343)

    1. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Raphinha

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      I have both of them

    3. Jimjam
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Raphinha

    4. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Think Raph

  9. Alcapaul
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Pretty much settled on 9 of 11 starters now.

    Sanchez
    Trent Shaw White
    Raphinha Salah Bruno
    Ings Antonio

    Could really use some help with the last 2 please.

    A) Coufal and Mahrez
    B) Greenwood and Barnes

    1. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

    • 10 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    People posting saying final decision to make today 4 days before the season starts. How is this even possible?! The few days before the season usually has me tinkering away on solid picks and yet somehow I will end up with shite like Kante and Dwight Gayle at 6.29pm under the pressure of deadline

    1. TheTinman
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Preach. I had a pretty solid team for about 2 weeks now, with one or two places in contention.

      Yesterday I changed about 5 players and when I slept on it and looked at my team I almost laughed, I'd just totally ripped it up haha. Got to be really careful not to over tinker!

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      I’ve somehow been set on my side for a while other than a few final A or B picks, and barring injuries or covid or anything I hope I don’t change it too much

  12. Leeds-Utd
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Ok Getting There (I hope)

    Mart/Sanchez
    Shaw/Taa/Ayling/White/Amrtley
    Bruno/Salah/ESR/Raph/Bissouma
    Ings/Ihean/Antonio

    Wat u guys think? Good to go or any changes?

    1. Andy1
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Not sure on ESR, I've had him in but unsure on his long term potential.

      Ihean - rotation risk?
      Otherwise good

  13. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Love this

    Bachmann
    Trent Tsiminas Shaw Veltman
    Salah Bruno Son Barnes
    Ings Antonio

    (Foster Amartey Brownhill Obafemi)

    1. Leeds-Utd
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Looks Good 8/10

    2. King Kohli
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Not tempted to get Greenwood or Jota by downgrading Trent?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        A bit, but I can't watch Liverpool without owning Trent and Salah tbh

    3. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Very good

  14. Jimjam
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Sanchez (Foster)
    TAA, Shaw, White (Ayling, 4m)
    Salah, Bruno, Barnes, Raphinha [???]
    Ings, Antonio [???]

    (A) Jota in a 3-5-2
    (B) Wilson in a 3-4-3

    1. Leeds-Utd
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Jota For me

    2. Andy1
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Jota

  15. gergin
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    So, the new template is:

    Sanchez/ Martinez 4.0

    TAA, Shaw, 3 cheapies

    Fernandes, Salah, 3 punts

    Antonio, Ings, 1 punt/cheapie

    Or I am not understanding trends?

    1. Pedersen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Pretty much

    2. Andy1
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Think FPL has been like this since it started.

  16. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    This team looks super strong, what do you think?

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Digne
    Salah Bruno Jota Greenwood Raphina
    Ings Toney
    Steele 4.5 4.0 4.0

    1. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      bench is utter crap.

      1. In FPHell
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        The bench here is 0.5 different to your own bench, so why not provide some useful advice rather than “it’s crap”

      2. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        I never get bench points

    2. MARVELLUS
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      How crazy, i pretty much just drafted this, except Barnes over Greenwood to fit in a 4.5m def on the bench. Very strong. I am going with that, or Bamford/Brownhill over Jota/Obafemi.

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        The whole point of this draft is to fit Jota and Greenwood in, it makes sense to start with them with those fixtures, teams are unknown at the start so may as well target the better teams

    3. Pedersen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Looks strong, but will have some patches to do after first 3 gw. More than free transfers can handle i would say (Jota, Greenwood, 4m def x2, Toney. This is not counting anything else that can happen. Planning on WC?

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        Not planning on a WC but let's be honest we will probably all need too fairly soon

    4. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Did you say super strong? Think I sicked in my mouth slightly

  17. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Currently on:
    Sanchez // 4m
    TAA, Shaw, Coufal, White // Amartey
    Salah, Bruno, Son, ESR // Raphinha
    Antonio, Ings // Obafemi

    Leaves me with 1itb so i can do some patches. Also tried to make sure that the price point for all positions makes them easy to swap. I really want Son, but might have to wait a few gw to get him unfortunately

    1. Pedersen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Sorry. Nacho instead of Antonio

      1. aapoman
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        I'd much rather have Antonio

    2. Pedersen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Ignore this. Son is not on the team. Omg. 2 errors... Jota instead of son

  18. Caravagio
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Is this crazy?

    Sanchez
    White Shaw Dias
    Jota Havertz Salah (c) Fernandes Torres
    Antonio Iheanacho

    (Foster, Amartey, Manquillo, Obafemie)

    1. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Strong 11, not a lot on the bench though. Jota and Salah are maybe too much Pool?

      1. Caravagio
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        Yeh bench is awful!
        I felt like Jota made up for no TAA... which scares me.

    2. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Not for me, too many question marks.

      1. Caravagio
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        Which ones 😀

  19. Jdpz
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Is Benrahma nailed? And Dele or benrahma?

  20. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    So the bruNO hype has slowly calmed down.

    1. Pedersen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Because everyone already have him i guess?

    2. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Only took one free kick to the head to sort out

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      I’m disappointed, I was looking forward to all those early wildcards being activated to get him back in 😆

  21. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Still not happy with this, thoughts?

    Sanchez - Guita
    TAA - Cancelo - Shaw - Coufal - Anderson
    Salah - Bruno - Raphinha - Bissouma - Gilmour
    Ings - Iheanacho - Antonio

    Likely a 4-3-3 most weeks, but haven't checked the fixtures yet. Should I downgrade defenders to upgrade midfield?

  22. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 18 days 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

  23. Sloths
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    1 Raph & Wilson
    or...
    2 Harrison & Ings

  24. SKENG
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    A) Cresswell (442)
    B) Benrahma (352)

    1. King Kohli
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      B

  25. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

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

    Obviously a wildcard by GW4, but i dont think i've ever lasted that long anyways...

  26. Pukki Party
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    The 6.5 forward range seems dead this season, Maupay best option?

    1. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Toney. But many including myself are going 3 5 2 as cheap strikers are poor this year

      1. Pukki Party
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        Yeah i was on Antonio DCL in a 352 but DCL hasn't played in preseason yet so looking at downgrading. I never pick new to the league players so Toney not an option.

    2. How I met your Mata
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      would keep a close eye to see if Tammy can get a move

      1. Pukki Party
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        Good shout

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      That’s why I’m going 352. The confidence in Toney and Brentford who’re unknown at this level is surprising.

    4. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      More so than I ever remember it being tbh. I think Toney still worth starting with then eventually Maupay, Rodrigo, watford player, Fabio Silva may come good.

  27. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Is Benthama now considered a better option than Buendia?

    1. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Benrahma not easy for you to say with a lisp

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        You’re not a nice perthon

  28. bootsmanus
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    (Un)popular opinion: the 52% ownership of Shaw is absolutely laughable. Change my mind?

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      52% of FPL players are England fans
      In all fairness he may be underpriced with their defence this season and set pieces

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        and fixtures. easy move on to Chilwell/James or Cancelo/Stones when the fixtures turn

    2. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Form, value, fixtures

      Done

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Why don’t you share why you think it’s laughable first, then people can decide whether it’s a properly formulated, well thought out & well researched opinion, or just lazy hunch-based points-only bollocks before replying?

        I'll share.

        Shaw has missed 120 matches during his Utd time due to 15 injuries, so I would say he's injury prone.

        In 9 seasons, he's only hit double digits in two of them. I'll be generous and calculate his average point tally for the seasons he'll played more than 1000 minutes. It's 84.

        Manchester United scored from 7 sets pieces last year, comparatively to City (13), Chelsea (12) and Liverpool (12). Which tells me they aren't great at it.

        The upside is: they will no doubt be defensively stronger with Varane. But in my opinion, Shaw isn't worth the 5.5 price tag. You call it points-only bollock, in my eyes it's all that matters at the end of the day. The alternative is right here with AWB, a much more stable performer over the last few seasons.

          Kudos for entertaining an attention seeking poster 😆 i know i wouldnt have

          The correct answer is (1) Shaw wasnt worth 5m last season; and (2) neither did he.

          He’s definitely had injury problems - but the broken leg was a fairly freak/black swan type incident so let’s not penalise him for that, and Mourinho had a very well known vendetta against him during his time at Utd (the whole ‘Shaw has to play with my brain shite) which obviously held him back & really knocked his confidence

          In terms of looking at points only - it’s so, so misleading when it comes to Shaw & AWB

          AWB was absolutely blessed to get 7 attacking returns from 3 XGi - he had a 110+% overperformance whereas Shaw was very unlucky to get 6 attacking returns from 7 XGi - and could easily go to 10 attacking returns with a bit of overperformance & staying fit

          Out of those two there’s just no competition when it comes to likelihood of getting attacking returns, Shaw absolutely wipes the floor with AWB

          And in relation to every other defender in the game he is utterly elite in terms of minutes per XGi

          Only TAA (who is 2.0 more expensive) and Cancelo (who is 0.5 more expensive and won’t play every game) can beat him on minutes per XGi, he beats Chilwell, Robertson, Dallas, James, Digne - you name the defender, he beats them on MPXGi

          To say he’s a laughable pick with laughable ownership is very, very silly & he is at very high risk of destroying non-owners - and if Varane tightens up the defence that’s another improvement in output

          5.5 is an absolute gift
