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.

    Best option on a FH

    A: Cancelo + Foden + JWP...and 2 playing subs i.e. broja/livra
    B: Cancelo + Sterling + Broja...no decent subs i.e. amartey
    C: Laporte + Sterling + Jwp...no decent subs i.e. amartey

    Hello Morning Crew

    Pope
    Livramento. Williams, Cancelo, Dawson
    Son, Coutinho, Bowen
    Kane, Weghorst, Broja

    Can get this team for GW27 with a -4. Do it or use FH?

    1. HaffNanner
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      No need for FH imo

        Thanks

      Save the FH

  6. HaffNanner

    Any thoughts on the first of many FH drafts to come? Thanks.

      I'd rather have two City attackers than two Man U. But if you count Cancelo as a City attacker and rather have three!

  7. Paddyburns

    On FH
    A: KDB, Livra, cornet
    B: Mahrez, Mee, Sancho

    Cheers

      Mahrez not nailed, maybe Bilva or foden instead?

    Pope
    - - -
    Mahrez Son Bruno -
    Broja Weghorst Kane

    A) Cancelo Mee KWP Sancho

    B) Walker Mee KWP Sterling

    C) Cancelo Pieters Livra Sterling

    I have a feeling Mahrez is more nailed to start next match than Sterling.

    How’s this look for a -8 ?

    Firmino ➡️ Broja
    Lacazette ➡️ Kane
    Saka ➡️ (Cornet/Lennon)

    Currently on

    GK: Foster/Ramsdale
    DEF: Cancelo/Digne/Ait Nouri/Alonso/TAA
    MID: Son/Bowen/Ramsey/Salah/Saka
    ATT: Weghorst/Firmino/Lacazette

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      You know Arsenal and Liverpool have doubles coming up? Would get rid of Firmino still

      1. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        The Saka position becomes Martinelli in GW28

        1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 29 days ago

          Not sure Martinelli will be starting by then. If Arteta drops Smith Rowe he's a fool

          1. FantasyClub
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 29 days ago

            ESR is under 6.2 so it could be him also but I do think it’s Martinellis spot

            1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 29 days ago

              I'm an Arsenal fan of 30 years, I disagree.

              Smith Rowe just showed his worth this weekend. Martinelli too inconsistent.

      2. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        And I’m not looking to go all out on Arsenal vs Liverpool in the DGW especially when I’ll be hoping for a TAA clean sheet

    2. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      You fell into the Firmino trap? I almost did too

      1. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Yep right on my face 🙁
        Was always going to be a one week punt anyway

  10. Rassi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    I haven't seen many FH teams with Bowen yet. Think I might include him, Wolves have the fifth highest xGc in the last 4.

    1. Rassi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      *sixth

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Not on FH, have Bowen.

      Thanks for that info

    3. adams_6
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Not for me

    4. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Yeah, not sure why peopel are keen to double up on Wolves defense, I'm selling RAN this week.

    5. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      "Bowen is essential on a FH"
      - Me before Bowen scored 1 point on my GW26 FH

      I agree with you, but regret doing it last week

  11. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    I can field XI this week without any hits… better off saving one of my FH’s for GW28? Thanks

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Yes. I'd keep the FH as long as possible

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Depends who those XI are.

      If you have Burnley, Spurs and double City then no. But if they're all SGWs like me or you have any rotation risks/duds then FH is worth it imo.

  12. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Which of these players are a must on a FH next week and which are a no go?

    1. Ronaldo
    2. Fernandes
    3. Sterling
    4. Mahrez

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      I have 234

      1. TopBinFC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        With Jesus now back, Mahrez be rotated much more?

        1. Karan_G14
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 29 days ago

          Jesus is back? I think he will get FA Cup game next midweek.

    2. adams_6
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      In priority order I think 3,4,2,1

    3. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Ronaldo a no go, City is a lottery

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      They're all decent one week picks.

      Ronaldo I think is being overlooked. Being on pens is a big deal and Watford parking the bus suits Ronaldo's aerial abilities more than Bruno in transition imo.

    5. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      2&3 IMHO

  13. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Bench Boost wasted this week

    1ft 2.1 itb

    Guatia
    Dalot Cancelo Kilman Cash
    Bowen Cornet Foden
    Kane(c) King Broja

    Foster ESR Salah TAA

    A) Salah > Son (Wildcard in 28)
    B) Roll (Guatia/Bowen/King > Sa/Ramsey/ASM in 28 for a -4)

  14. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Best option out of these to start on FH?

    A) Dalot
    B) Bednarek
    C) Livra

    1. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      B

    2. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      c

    3. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      I think Livra starts again so probably him. Dalot prob got a rest but if he starts vs Atletico, does he start vs Watford?

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Also Livra had an xGI of 1

      2. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Think Dalot is first choice. He was probably rested yesterday because of Atletico. After GW27 United have a 7 day gap till their next fixture in GW28 but the Wed-Sat KOs this week are not ideal.

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      B

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      It's A or C imo.

      Livramento's price tag belies his actual potential. Let wait and see United midweek.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Leaning that ways. Have both but one of them will be 1st sub.

    6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      B is your best bet at getting a start, A seems to be preferred to AWB but it's possible AWB plays in the league again with CL games going on. C, hard to know, if Perraud comes back in then between him and KWP and KWP has been really good of late

      1. TopBinFC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        I think KWP is undroppable and may play LB again.

      2. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        KWP has been playing really well. I think its between Perraud and Livra

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 29 days ago

          Yeah that's fair, Perraud was very good in the games I saw him in too

  15. The Mantis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    2nd post sorry but this is a matter of urgency due to price changes. I have exact funds for the following moves but for -8

    Dennis / King / Ronaldo > Broja / Weghorst / Kane

    worthy??

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Could be

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Yeah

    3. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Doubt I would go further than -4 here.

      Get Weg and Kane.

      1. The Mantis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        that's the issue, I can't get them both with -4 :'(

        1. Bobby Crush
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 29 days ago

          tough - get weg and adams?

    4. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Wait, madness to do it this early

      1. The Mantis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        I know, but i'll be priced out by this time tomorrow. -8 doesnt sit right with me

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Nice moves, but a -8 for two players with fixtures still to play in current GW including one who said he had a pain in his knee does carry a bit of a risk of course!

  16. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Score predictions for
    1)Everton vs City
    2) Man Utd vs Watford?

    Mine are 1) 0-3 and 2) 1-0

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      0-3
      2-0

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

      0-5
      2-1

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Damn man, 0-5 would be so good if I get the right city mids

    3. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years

      1.2
      1.1

  17. AppleDunk
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    What do you guys think. Will Robbo play most remaining games or will he be rotated with Tsimikas?

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Robbo starts and Tsimikas starts vs Norwich in fa cup

    2. Conners
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      I think it's unlikely he's rotated regularly, but another rest or two isn't out of the question, especially if Liverpool progress through the CL and FA Cup (as expected).

  18. Conners
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Apologies for the lengthy post, but would you mind letting me know which of these WC squads you prefer. (With some reasoning if poss).

    Ramsdale / Dubravka
    TAA - Cancelo - Digne - Coady - Saiss
    Salah - Son - Raphinha - Coutinho - Saka
    Jimenez - Weghorst - Broja

    (1.0M itb)

    Ramsdale / Dubravka
    TAA - Cancelo - White - Coady - Bednarek
    Salah - Son - Raphinha - Ramsey - Martinelli
    Kane - Weghorst - Broja

    (1.1M itb for Weg to Jimenez in gw28)

    1. Conners
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Any input appreciated - thanks in advance!

    2. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      I favour 2. Think id go ESR in the 2nd line up. I think he will keep his place in the side now. Id go KWP over Bednarek.

    3. Conners
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Thanks. ESR is a little risky as I intend to BB in gw28. Appreciate your feedback though.

  19. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Hey guys,
    Thinking Dalot to Saiss to give this for GW27.
    I have 2 FHs, but no WC, so would prefer to save them.

    Pope
    Cancelo Saiss
    Son Bowen Ramsey
    Weghorst Maupay Broja

    Would you also do Bruno to Son for -4?

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      First tfer is fine. Second one is tempting but Bruno may get points too. Luckily i have both

    2. McSlu
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Would keep dalot and rather switch one of the Pool or ARS guys you have on the bench. Probably one pool guy like Robbo or VVD depending on who you have

  20. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Is Coutinho or Ramsey better Villa pick?

    1. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      If money no obstacle then coutinho all day

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Coutinho.

  21. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    On FH

    A) KDB + JWP
    B) Mahrez + Sancho

    1. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      A easily

  22. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Thoughts on this FH (sorry, very templatey!)

    Pope

    Cancelo - Shaw - Livramento

    Bruno - Son - Sterling - Cornet

    Kane - Weghorst - Broja

    (Bench: Foster - Romero - Williams - Bissouma)

    Also who to captain? Prob between Son/Kane and Weghorst...

    1. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Nice, not sure about Sterling, he was awful v Spurs

      1. Fit_to_drop
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Was he awful? Think he had at least one big chance and think he is still one of their form players. Pep needs goals at the moment and he is one of the few that is firing consistently.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Captain son or Kane imo. I'm going Kane.

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Still not sure about Sterling. Imo Mahrez is the pick.

  23. FantasyClub
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Anyone starting to think Digne not worth it?
    I don’t see a clean sheet in any of his upcoming fixtures…I always fall for it lol

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Fell for it at the start of the season and fallen for it again now.

      Very frustrating player but compelled to hold onto him until after dgw28 and bgw30.

      I'd like to say never again....but he'll probably lure me into his trap some point in the future

      1. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        I’m thinking Livra is a good switch considering the save on $ ?

          They have really good fixtures up til gw31 and a double in 28.

          By the time gw28 starts, we'll know who progresses in the cup. If West Ham beat Southampton, then Southampton will play in gw30 as well and making their assets even more appealing

    Where are we at Adams vs Broja

    Was Adams just lucky recently? Would he be worth $ over Broja?

      I m going jwp but would pick Adams probably

      Broja hasn’t kicked on as much as I thought he would since getting a regular start

    pretty stark raving obvious now that any of the Prem's talk about player safety when it comes to concussions is just that-talk. Koch beoing allowed to play on yesterday is criminal. If he had taken another blow to the head in the same spot your talking about possible serious consequences for him in his 60s, 50s, 40s even. Thats all it takes. it really is pathetic.

      Must admit I thought he was a dead cert to get subbed as soon as I saw the replay of the collision.

    Any one see that extraordinary thing on the BBC site? An international "perfect hat-trick" ....... of own goals!!! I'll bet that's never been done before.

    Why so many here are omitting Mahrez on FH? I've been treating him as the first one in my FH team.

    Watkins and Saka to Broja and Mahrez -4?

      Do you think Mahrez now gets an extended run in the league team?

    Best GW to use a FH chip: 28, 29 or 30?

    Saving one for GW36 which is the biggest double of the season but cannot work out which week to play the other. GW30 for the blank?

    1. Conners

      Depends on your team and plans for other chips. I think using one in 30 is a good choice personally, the other for a big DGW (whichever looks best).
