SCOUT’S GAMEWEEK 7 PICKS

Whilst the 10.5 target of Romelu Lukaku requires more than two attacking returns and rotation risks abound elsewhere at Chelsea, at least Antonio Rudiger should (we repeat, should) be a more secure starter who will expect a clean sheet at a bare minimum against a Southampton side that is goalless in their last three matches.

Despite invoking a lack of trust among the Fantasy community during his two seasons as Brighton, could the form of Neal Maupay finally stick? He has netted four times so far this season, while he has a promising record of two goals from two league starts against Arsenal.

Ollie Watkins is yet to score or assist this season but has played all 270 minutes since Dean Smith switched to a wing-back system that enables both he and Danny Ings to start up front. He has far fewer minutes than Ings, yet outnumbers him ten shots to six, eight of which were on target. Facing a Tottenham Hotspur side in disarray will not intimidate him.

Vitaly Janelt bagged a goal during last Saturday’s 3-3 thriller against Liverpool and is a bit of a gamble to out-perform his 5.5 target at West Ham. He’s remarkably had more ‘big chances’ than Ivan Toney this season and is joint-top among Bees players for chances created, too.

Manchester City breezed to a clean sheet against the European champions last weekend, racking up a fifth successive league shut-out in the process. So what price on another win-to-nil at Anfield? All of City’s defenders will require at least an attacking return to beat their points targets, and Aymeric Laporte – who has racked up as many shots in the box as Jack Grealish and Ferran Torres this season – is as good a bet as any to achieve that.

EL STATTO’S GAMEWEEK 7 PICKS

Away to Chelsea, the Saints are defensively stronger and limited Man City to just one shot on target during their 0-0 stalemate. So can they repeat this again? His target score is the lowest from the defensive picks but, with Stephens injured, Jan Bednarek will start.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a much improved performance against Spurs and, with the pace and creativity in Arsenal’s three supporting midfielders, could it be that they have turned the corner?

Still settling in at Aston Villa, Danny Ings is their main man now that Jack Grealish has left. Spurs were awful in the north London derby whereas Ings is a forward who doesn’t need lots of chances to score and I could see him adding to the pressure on Nuno Espirito Santo this weekend.

After an indifferent start, I think Ivan Toney showed what he is all about against Liverpool. Brentford and West Ham are two teams who like to play and attack, so I’m hopeful there will be plenty of chances.

Gabriel Jesus should play in the big game against Liverpool. Both will go for the win rather than settle for a draw, with Man City wanting to bounce back after a midweek defeat. If Jesus starts with Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish supporting, I wouldn’t rule out a goal for the Brazilian.

HOW DOES FANTASY5 WORK?

Fantasy5 is easy to play as it follows the exact same scoring system as FPL, just without the bonus points.

It’s also the fastest media outlet for live Fantasy points, displaying all player points from the five games in question, as well as the live score and time.

For the more detailed lowdown, head here.

The competition is limited to one entry per person per round and selections must be submitted before kick-off of the first eligible match.

If two or more entrants correctly select five players who all score more than their points target, then the prize pot is split among all winners.

    Going Armstrong last week looks bad atm but look at those fixtures

    LEE, BUR, wat,AVL, nor

    Surely saints can do something on that run, famous last words

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      people are looking to bring him in because hes a goalscorer and those fixtures are great

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, he just looked bad against wolves but I’ll stay patient and hope it pays off

      2. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Throwing the title goalscorer about abit loosely here mate

        1. TheBiffas
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          28 league goals last season, a few short of toney

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Ah Championship goalscorer you ment , get yah

          2. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Same mould as Mitrovic?

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'm thinking of doing Ronaldo to Armstrong for a couple of weeks then move to Toney

  4. Forgetmeknot
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Eugh….anyone else with TAA, Shaw & Ayling?

    Williams and Livra to the rescue

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Me. Awful defense for this week.

      1. Forgetmeknot
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I’ve got 2 ft before wc next week but hoped to squeeze Barnes in.

        Not sure I can now.

        What’s your plan?

        1. Forgetmeknot
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Wood* vs Norwich, not Barnes

        2. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I've got problems...

          TAA, Jota, Bamford > Rudiger, Klich, Lukaku -4

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I had all 3. Sold Shaw to Rudiger a couple of days ago. Going to have to play Livramento again even though I have 1FT left.

      1. Forgetmeknot
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ironically Shaw now the one with any chance of minutes (although unlikely).

        Think Livra can get something? I’m working out how to use my 2 fts

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      TAA and James

    4. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      TAA James Rafh Bamford here

  5. Meme2011
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    are many of you taking a -4 to get Lukaku in and CAPT for Ronaldo?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Many are. Many aren't.

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No I don’t think that move is worth it for this week

    3. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Planning to get him in alongside Ron, but waiting until after tonight in case of injuries later

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Possibly a hit to get cover.

  6. Atimis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    So having TAA, Ayling and Tsim in my team gives me only Rudi and Duffy playing this week.

    Would you do TAA or Ayling to Cancelo for a hit?

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I would do Ayling to Cancelo for a hit. Good long term play.

    2. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Ayling to Cancelo and keep Cancelo for long term

    3. Sterling Archer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't take a hit for a city defender against Liverpool

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

        Long term anyway and have 2 defenders so?

  7. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Is Mbeumo still a good asset?

    5.5m for an OOP seems decent

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

      Definitely passes the eye test

  8. No Kane No Gain
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    How hard should I cry for getting in Alonso early this week to beat the price raise...

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Save the tears until it actually goes pear shaped

        1. No Kane No Gain
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Can you legitimately see a none pear shaped scenario going down after the purchase of Alonso this week?!

      • The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Start with muffled whimpering.

      • TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        what's up with alonso?

        1. No Kane No Gain
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Looks like this might be the prem return of chilly this week...

    2. MESSINHO
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Sanchez
      TAA* - Shaw* - White
      Salah - Greenwood - Jota - Raph
      Ronaldo - Antonio - Toney

      Steele - Livramento - Ayling* - Brownhill

      2 FT, 0.3 ITB, WCing next week.

      One transfer is definitely going to be TAA -> Chelsea def

      Which one is better for the second?

      A) Jota -> Sarr/Benrahma or another 1 week punt, which means if Shaw doesn't play Livramento comes in.

      B) Shaw/Ayling -> 2nd Chelsea defender, which means probably getting a 1 point cameo from Jota.

      Cheers!

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Keep TAA and move shaw

        1. MESSINHO
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          As I said, I'm gonna WC next week.

          1. TheBiffas
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            If you started with trent you'll lose 0.1 on him, and probably another 0.1 if you wait to move shaw

            1. MESSINHO
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              TAA is at -97.3 on fplstatistics, very little chance not to drop in price on next 2 days.

              1. Harry the Hack
                • 14 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                Geez, that's moved - he was low 80s a couple of hours ago

                1. TheBiffas
                  • 3 Years
                  2 years, 7 months ago

                  yeah was gonna say that

      2. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Cool knights are going with Burnley defenders.

        1. MESSINHO
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          That's an option too if a do B, yes.

        2. Harry the Hack
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          confident hacks are all in on the Pukki train derailing that party

    3. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think i'm going with this on WC

      Ramsdale

      Alonso - Christensen - Cancelo

      Salah - Raphinha - Saka - Douglas Luiz

      Lukaku - Antonio - Ronaldo (c)

      (Foster - TAA - Brownhill - Livramento)

      Will switch back to 4-3-3 with Trent next week

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Oops. Vardy not Ronaldo

      2. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years

        Good luck Mr Bacon.

      3. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Vardy is quietly staying top three of the strikers, going under the radar.

    4. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Christensen or White?

      1. TheBiffas

      2. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        The answer is Lowton.

        1. wulfrunian
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I like Burnley's fixtures and defence but their fixtures are tricky for cs.Norwich is almost a certain cs but even Sou and Bre are tough games.

    5. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Got rid of James & Torres with my 2 FT.
      Not happy held Bamford through the drop thinking he might play & now Trent!
      GW & Alonso could be benched.

      A, Bamford & Trent > Auba & Cancelo-8

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Check the availability for Jimmy and Raph as there’s talk both are at risk given the fixtures for country.
        I feel there’s enough 6-6.5m strikers who can return similar output as Jimenez and would bring in Trent alongside Cancelo not instead of

      2. tbos83
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I'd downgrade Grealish and upgrade Luiz

      Wildcard first draft - any pointers / glaring errors much appreciated!

      Sa / Ramsdale

      Alonso / TAA / Cancelo / Rudiger / Cash

      Raphinha / Luiz / Salah / Smith-Rowe / Sarr

      Antonio / Lukaku / King

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        9.5m seems too much on keepers when you can use Foster for 4m as backup. Would you just rotate based on home fixtures? Could leave a few good scores on the bench.

        King feels like a trap. Would go Sarr for watford attack or nobody.
        That defence….Livra is the perfect 5th defender really no need to have 5m as perma bench option (when Trent returns)

      2. No Kane No Gain
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Confident Alonso keeps his place?! I’m not...

    9. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Reece James been named in the England squad...may hold now then

      1. Calculated Risks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Trent hasn't fyi

      2. Eleven Hag

        Good news then

      3. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        That's promising. I think I might even go James on WC haha.

      4. The Knights Template

        Good news. Yoy can join the feasting!

          Famine

    10. West Hammered
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      RMWCT
      Ramsdale
      Alonso Rudiger Cancelo (Laporte Livramento)
      Salah Son Raphina Saka Gallagher
      Lukaku Antonio (Obafemi)

      Last two decisions for me are with the cheap mids Saka Vs Sarr & Gallagher Vs Mbuemo

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        ballsy. i like it

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

        I like Sarr and Mbuemo - most attacks going through them. Arsenal need some consistency and Gallagher is an engine but not really the striking threat. IMO

        1. West Hammered
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          It’s a hard one, feel like Arsenal may go on a good run now, no Europe & ended last season well. Gallagher gets into the box quite often from what I’ve seen. But I agree Sarr & Mbuemo are probably more the talisman for their teams but have doubts over how many goals Watford can score

      3. LikeItLoveIt
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Would laporte come back in for gallagher after this week?

        1. West Hammered
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Yes that’s the plan & I then have two decent bench options in case of injuries/rotation

          1. LikeItLoveIt
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Nice - like it

    11. LikeItLoveIt
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Who scores more this gameweek? -

      A - Jota
      B - Saint Max -4

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

        Probably a tie. I'd bet Jota gets 1 and ASM gets an assist, maybe beats Jota by 1

      2. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        A

      Is Rudiger worth the extra 0.7 over Christensen?

      Sanchez
      Taa alonso marcal
      Salah sarr raphinha greenwood benrahma
      Antonio Cristiano(c)

      1. Do a hit
      2. Hope for Ayling to replace TAA.

      Jimenez or Antonio on a wildcard? Antonio has the stats but Jimenez has better fixtures and is preffered by betting companies.

        Antman

      2. LikeItLoveIt
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I cant see myself not having Antonio with the way hes played (untill his legs fall off again obvz)

        Jimenez is still a one goal per game kinda player and this team isn’t scoring much
        West Ham are the opposite and wouldn’t bet against Antonio right now

      Sanchez (Steele)
      TAA* Shaw* White (Livramento) (Amartey)
      Salah Jota Sarr Greenwood (Brownhill)

        Doesn't Jota being benched not worry you

          2 years, 7 months ago

          It does - but if he plays he'll at least get appearance points... TAA and Bamford are both out so they're a guaranteed 0 pointer, so they are my priority for now. If I wanted to deal with Jota too this week I'd have to take a -4..

      Southgate on Mount and James being included despite injury: "They've clearly still to have appeared for their clubs so there's an unknown but our understanding is Mason and Reece have a good chance for the weekend." #CFC #ThreeLions.Wow

        I'm starting James then with cover on bench , love this game and drama 🙂

        Perfect news

        2 years, 7 months ago

        Damn, so confused what to do now. Shaw who might play and I still trust, TAA who I don't want to get rid of and James who might start as well now? Was set on James on a FT.

      Leeds are in trouble with all these injuries...

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        They were last GW but were doing okay until Antonio mugged them in the last minute.

        1. The Train Driver
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Didn't see the game but from what I read, Messlier had a great game and was the big reason they didn't lose big.

      About to pull the trigger on tomorrow

      Ings, Jota, Coufal > Lukaku, Raphinha, Lowton for -4

      Good Moves??
