There was a winner of the £10,000 Fantasy5 jackpot last week, with ‘Chazzastrip’ turning a free entry and a few clicks of a mouse into a lucrative payday.

All the lucky user had to do was correctly choose five Fantasy players to exceed their assigned points target in the Gameweek just gone – and that’s something you can do for Gameweek 29 by clicking here and entering for free.

Last season, Fantasy5 had one instance of back-to-back winners, so let’s see if history can repeat itself in Gameweek 29!

This is a free-to-play weekly game, where there are various other prizes on offer beyond the whopping jackpot.

Fantasy5 has now migrated over to BoyleSports but the prizes remain as plentiful as ever and it’s still free to enter.

HOW TO PLAY

It’s as simple as this: pick five players from the nominated Gameweek 29 matches below and, if they all exceed their ‘points targets’ (a par score set by Fantasy5 for each asset), you’ll be in the money:

  • Brentford v Burnley
  • Man Utd v Spurs
  • Chelsea v Newcastle
  • West Ham v Aston Villa
  • Arsenal v Leicester

Even if you don’t succeed in getting all five right, Fantasy5’s leaderboard allows you to win prizes beyond the £10k jackpot.

We have selected our own picks for Gameweek 29, which can you can read below.

The deadline for this week’s entries is at 15:00 BST on Saturday 12 March.

You can even set up a mini-league and compete with colleagues, friends and family.

SCOUT’S GAMEWEEK 29 PICKS

Last week brought a higher-than-usual 11 players that successfully exceeded their points target and Gameweek 28 raised that even further to 14. Our picks were two short of joining ‘Chazzastrip’ amongst the jackpot, as Ryan Fraser, Jadon Sancho and Dejan Kulusevski were rightly backed.

First up this time is Burnley’s Connor Roberts (6.5), as it’s hard to back Brentford’s Ivan Toney into more than one goal involvement against Sean Dyche’s side. The Clarets kept four clean sheets from six matches between Gameweeks 23 and 26 but were destroyed by Chelsea in the second half last Saturday. Dyche will be adamant that they get back on track with an ugly win and Roberts has the attacking capabilities to also provide crosses for Wout Weghorst.

The last time Spurs travelled to Man United, it was a 6-1 win where Son Heung-min bagged two goals, an assist and 18 Fantasy Premier League (FPL). Even if he just delivers 50% of that, this weekend’s 7.5 points target will be eclipsed. Reece James would have been Chelsea’s pick against Newcastle United but has had another injury setback, so it now goes to fellow wing-back Marcos Alonso (7.5).

Pictured back in training, Alonso should recover from illness to face the Magpies and provide Thomas Tuchel with attacking width. Whilst at Chelsea, he has two goals and two assists from six appearances against Newcastle.

West Ham host Aston Villa and it is tough to call. Jarrod Bowen (8.5) is an injury doubt, Michail Antonio (6.5) has two league goals from 19 games, whilst Danny Ings (6.5) has never scored against the Hammers. Sticking with Steven Gerrard’s side, both Philippe Coutinho and Jacob Ramsey come with a 7.5 target that likely requires multiple attacking returns. Therefore, box-to-box midfielder John McGinn (6.5) might be the answer.

Finally, the injury to Jamie Vardy has cost him a chance to improve his impressive goal scoring record against Arsenal. Because of the high targets given to Alexandre Lacazette (9.5) and Gabriel Martinelli (9.5), perhaps Bukayo Saka (8.5) is the least bad option. He certainly has the form to justify this, having bagged six goals and three assists from his last ten league matches, including one of each at Watford last Sunday.

HOW DOES FANTASY5 WORK?

Image

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.

    Morning all. Will be FH next week. Is my team G2G (took a -4)? Thinking to get DDG out for Ramsdale for -8. Is that a bad call?

    DDG
    TAA - Doherty - Livra
    Salah - Foden - Son - Willock - Saka
    Antonio - Saka

    (Foster) - Rudiger - Broja - Lamptey

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Saka is Laca

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Think DDG > Ramsdale is good. You'd be swapped 2/3 points for 6 minimum and that's before you take into consideration Ramsdale saves and cleansheets over the next 2 games.

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Cheers it's just -4 for it makes it less worthwhile but flip side I'd prefer rams for the duration instead of DDG

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      We've decided it's just fan speculation.

      Could happen of course.

      1. M2.0
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Are you playing him?

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      He was poor to be fair. Might be benched but reckon he would come on

      1. M2.0
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        That’s what’s worrying me. Don’t want a one pointer.

    3. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      It wouldn't surprise me tbh.

  2. andrewrichter
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Which wolves defender is best to have? Looking at Ait nouri, but dont know if he's too much of a rotation risk?

  3. obi
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Start two out of these.

    A) Raphinha (form not so good)
    B) Broja (might be benched?)
    C) Coutinho (terrific form)
    D) Jimenez (might blank?)

    1. mrelpea
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      CD

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      C and D

      But A and B have the fixtures!

    3. Surfreak
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Personally A & C for me, Jimi 1st sub

      1. obi
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Leaning towards this. Hoping Raphinha turns it around this week.

        Thanks guys!

    4. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Cout and Jimi

    5. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      I'd go for Coutinho and Jimenez probably.

    6. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      AC

  4. mrelpea
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Morning all,

    Would you BB this lot (I have VVD in my starting 11):

    Dubravka Hwang Barnes Saiss

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Nah, you'll want bench cover so not this week.

      1. mrelpea
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Cheers

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      I wouldn't personally. Do you have WC left?

      1. mrelpea
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        No, I pulled the trigger on that last week. Brought in VVD especially for the double lol Does makes sense to keep it for later

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      If we get a leaked line-up without Virgil I wouldn't. If he's fit, then yes.

      1. mrelpea
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Cheers. I know what I’ll be looking out for this morning lol

  5. Tinmen
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Folks, is it best to use bench boost or free hit in 36?
    I have 2 free hits and bench boost

    Can’t decide if I should bench boost this week or save it-
    Dubravka Broja Jimmy Saiss

    I mean If I free hit in 36 then this could be this best week for me to bench boost

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Use it then.

      Which Liverpool players do you have?

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      FH30
      FH33
      WC35
      BB36

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Wildcard needs at least 5 or 6 games to have effect.

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

          WC for this is mainly to setup the BB for week after

  6. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Am I right in saying City are likely to have a DGW36 with BHA and NEW?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      And probably having won the title already?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        And closing in on the Champions League?

      2. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        I reckon it is going down to the wire, but yes, that is a factor. Also might be better of FHing the perfect team that week.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

          I think Liverpool will drop some points.

          Including away at Arsenal.

          1. dansully3
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 18 days ago

            Not a chance, Arsenal are still soft enough v the real big boy's.

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 18 days ago

              2-2.

      3. dansully3
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Small problem there of Liverpool!!

  7. XABI 15
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Would you:
    Play Jimenez
    Or
    Ramsey to Kulu (-4)?

    1. Surfreak
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Do you have Kane or Son? If so I wouldn't take the hit for Kulu, otherwise yes!

  8. Surfreak
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Would you do Schar to Doherty for -4 hit this GW?

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      No

  9. Abaddon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    TC salah, dont have kane? Or save?

    Any likely good candidates in the future? Vardy, Kane later on?

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Interested in views on this. As I posted above, I think City might DGW36 with BHA and NEW.

      1. Abaddon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Yeah. City would be interesting. But i am very likely fh 36. So have to use my tc before that probably

        1. Art Vandelay
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

          Yep, just posted the same above about FHing.

          1. Abaddon
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 18 days ago

            Kane/son i gw 33maybe? BHA+ARS

  10. Ribus
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Play 2 out of:
    A) Coutinho (whu)
    B) Raphinha (NOR)
    C) Broja (WAT)
    D) Jim (eve)

    Thanks

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      DCBA is my order of preference

  11. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Barnes the best Leicester option?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Probably.

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Maddison back in the mix too I think

    3. Surfreak
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Yes until Vardys back

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      I think so.

  12. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Play Digne or Bissouma?

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Digne

    2. Mane Mane Mane
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Digne easy

  13. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Start Raya or Foster?

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Tricky. Raya I guess.

  14. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Final call

    Start one:

    A: Broja
    B: Weghorst

    1. luk46
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      A

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Even with the benching rumours?

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      B

  15. Fantasy furball
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Which of Maupay (DGW Liv, Spurs) or Weg (SGW Bur) out for Kane?

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Maupay

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Ditch Weghorst

      Especially if he's playing Burnley, they'll know all about him.

      1. Fantasy furball
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Interesting point

    3. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Maupay

  16. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Which one to start?

    A) Coutinho (whu) - good form tricky fixture
    B) Jimenez (eve) - average form, good fixture - Everton are rubbish!

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      A

    2. luk46
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      A

    3. Surfreak
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      A - form over fixtures

    4. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Rejig and see if you can start both.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        This is the current team. Don’t think I can start both…

        RAMSDALE
        TRENT, ROBBO, TIERNEY
        SALAH, MARTINELLI, KULU, Raphina, Coutinho
        KANE, Broja

        Foster, Jimenez, Coady, Ait-Nouri

        1. Tinkermania
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

          I would at the expense of Broja or Kulu or Martinelli!

  17. dansully3
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Morning all, is it time to pull the Salah tc trigger for those of us who haven't already?I have a feeling the boat has been missed with him. Kane is an obvious alternative.

    1. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Will Salah have another DW?

      1. Abaddon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        In 36 maybe. But then i will FH

      2. dansully3
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Not too sure. He has a great record against Arsenal so that's making me want to strike now.

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      I was worried I’d missed the boat, but the more I think about it, the more I expect him to do well this week. Not 28pts, but maybe 18, and I’ll be happy if so

  18. THEKID_88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Jiminez to Lacazette for a hit with the extra game or leave it?

    1. luk46
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      probably not

  19. Assisting the assister
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    A. Kilman to Doherty -4?
    B. KDB to Son -4?

    Any of these worth a hit?

    1. luk46
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      rather A

  20. AD105
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Got the bench right here?

    Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo Rudi Cancelo
    Salah Saka Kulu Raph
    Kane Broja

    Foster, Weg, Ramsey, Ait-Nouri

  21. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Everton will blank gw33 for sure?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Worrying for Everton fans they could blank in gw29 as well.

      Is it right they've never been relegated in their history?

      They'll need Burnley and Watford to continue losing.

      And Leeds.

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

        I think its Arsenal and Everton never relegated. I really hope the toffee's stay up, worrying times.

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Looks that way so should double in GW31 or 32 then

  22. Sakib.jafar
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Who to take out?

    A) Digne for Doherty
    B) James for Kulu

    Who gets more points this week.

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      B

  23. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Broja to Hwang, for free?

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Sure

  24. Bob.
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    A) play Jiminez
    Or
    V) -4 for Rudiger to Robertson and play robbo

    Cheers

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      A

      1. Bob.
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        You're probably right. I think I'll leave it alone

  25. Calum Undisputed
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    451:
    Ramsdale
    TAA Gabriel Doherty Cancelo
    Kulu Salah Ralphinha Saka Gray
    Kane
    Sub:
    Guaita Saiss Watkins Jimenez

    help on bench order?

    1. vova
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      I'm playing Jimenez myself ahead of Coutinho, Broja and Coady

      1. Calum Undisputed
        • 4 Years
