Final chance to have your say in the latest Fantasy Football Scout surveys

We at Fantasy Football Scout are always keen to hear feedback and learn from our site readers, podcast listeners and YouTube viewers, so we’re giving you another (final!) reminder about our mid-season surveys.

You might remember the end-of-season survey that we carried out before the start of 2021/22. We were delighted to get over 1,000 responses to that, and it’s been absolutely crucial in helping us move things forward and to see where we stand.

Following up on that, we’d greatly appreciate it if you could spare 15 minutes or so filling by filling out this latest min-questionnaire which can be accessed by clicking here.

Separately, if you’ve used the Fantasy Football Scout Transfer Planner since its implementation a few months ago, there’s a separate survey for that here. This one will take less than five minutes to complete.

Thanks again for your feedback and time but most of all your continued support of the site.

    Bottomed....

    This has to be the most difficult GW decision in a while, please send help!

    Current Team

    BUTLAND Ramsdale

    vvd tierney CANCELO taa DUFFY

    BOWEN GALLAGHER saka FODEN salah

    JIMENEZ ANTONIO DENNIS

    Butland, Duffy & Foden doubtful for various reasons so could realistically only have 6 players.

    ideally want to bring in burnley players but Weghorst would replace one of the 6 players.

    Weghorst IN Jimenez OUT?
    Mee IN Duffy OUT?

    I dont want to make too many transfers as i would need to buy back most of the players and lose squad value.....arggggh.

    1 FH left but reading through this thread seems its best to save this for another GW.

    Yeh.....help please.

      Tommo, the team isn't that bad, but you might need to take a hit here. You knew this was coming with the 6 player blank 🙂

    Can you deactivate your FH chip before the GW deadline? If so I assume your team reverts back with no transfers made?

      -4 for GW 28 (get 8 DGWers)

    The depths of my planning has led me to Daniel James in GW28... I need someone slightly cheaper than Raphinha to save me a transfer for Maddison > Son in GW29

    It's not crazy is it? He has 3 goals in the last 6 games. His stats are really good. We know he's a bit useless at finishing but with the volume of chances he has and SOU avl as his fixtures you'd back him to get at least something.

      Your bench would be Gunn, Bowen, Dier, Cancelo and that's fine.

        Would also mean I have 1-2 less player for BGW30 if I don't transfer in Wolves players.

          No, as you're taking a -4 for each extra transfer - that means each incoming player needs to get one clean sheet just to break even with your points tally. They really need two clean sheets, or a clean sheet plus an attacking return (each) to generate you net additional points, as that's too much of a risk.

    how are people planning to navigate 30 without a free hit? how many from the teams playing will you have?

    even if 1 or 2 teams get added the options look pretty rubbish in terms of bringing in those players for the long term assuming you dont have a WC for just after

      After my planned transfers in GW28 I will have 7 or 8 confirmed starters for GW30 and that number will increase by 2 if Soton don't blank. Shouldn't be a problem fielding 10/11 for free or max -4 and will wildcard after GW30.

      Depends on what team I settle on, but right now I'm looking at 7/8 + 2 Sou, plus whatever I do with my FTs between then and now.

      All players I'm happy to hold long term, either starting or bench material. Wouldn't be shocked to see enough PL teams crash out of the cup to let me field a full 11, not stressing it too much.

      On 3x Ars, 3x Wol currently. Will prob get Coutinho 28-30, and Maddison in GW30. The Ars/Wol triples work great with DGWs anyway (will prob 'fodderise' the Jiménez spot after 30 but need him for BB28), and it makes a lot of sense to me to pick up someone like Maddison from GW30 onwards for heaps of doubles to come. Brentford and, sad to say, Leeds are probably an avoid atm

      Lots of guessing, nobody is really sure.

      General consensus is a Chelsea double is very very likely, but nobody can quite decide who it'll be against. Arsenal the most likely it seems, then Norwich, then Leicester (unlikely).

        For the Norwich game they would have to wait till next midweek. But the Arsenal game they can announce after Leicester qualify for next round this week.

          Thanks all - makes sense if the plan was Leicester if at all possible.

          Let’s see what happens after the EL game.

    I'm swinging towards FH'ing this team, yes I can field 10.. but they're not the best options this week.

    I can field 10 but one of them is Eduoard who I want to shift for Weghourst ASAP. Do I field 10 and just do the Eduoard > Weg move or play my FH? Don't really want to lose any of the players on my bench.

    DDG
    Taa - Cancelo - Dalot - Ait Nouri
    Son - Bowen - Coutinho
    Eduoard - Broja - Maupay

    Ramsdale - Saka - Robbo - Salah
