GoalScorer Challenge

Fantasy Football Scout have once again teamed up with the popular GoalScorer Challenge competition this season. It will be the biggest GSC season ever, with a massive 56 Gameweeks including international weeks to help fill the time in those quiet periods away from FPL.

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 player racks up, the more points you get. But pick wisely, as you can only select each player once per season. 

There are three types of Gameweeks:

  • 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 fixtures during midweek (for example over the Christmas period) these will be counted as a separate Gameweek, while there are spaces this time around for additional midweek rounds at the end of the season.
  • International – During international breaks, you still have to pick a Premier League player, but for their country. This season includes five international weeks plus seven rounds of the World Cup.
  • 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 mates, too.

Full details, rules and entry can be FOUND HERE.

    Thinking James will outscore Martinelli at the same price, so:

    A. Martinelli (play 4-4-2)
    B. James (play 5-3-2)

      4-4-2
      More flexible

      1. banskt

        4 years, 23 days ago

        Thanks.

        Anyway, its an easy switch to 5-3-2 if Martinelli cannot keep up with James.

      Rest of team is template:

      Ward, Iversen
      Trent, Robertson, Cancelo, Perisic, xxx
      Salah, 8.0m, Bailey, xxx, Andreas
      11.5m, Jesus, 4.5m

        Very similar to mine, scroll down 1 posts

        My exact team with James Saka and Kane in this empty spots. Still undecided on Kane Vs. Haaland

        I just know I’m going to want haaland week 2

        Risks are GK’s and not a great out for Bailey. If Bailey needs a change my current plan is a downgrade of Saka, Perisic or James. Perhaps a sideways move to Drewsbury-hall also.

      A

      1. banskt
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Do you think Martinelli will score more points than James over the first few games?

        1. PapaWengzz
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          I do think so..wouldn't be surprised if Martinelli is highest for PPM in the game by GW6.

    4. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      I would go A even though James may outscore Martinelli probably by having 5 meh games/cameos coupled with one really explosive game wheres he can hit more than 15 points.

      It's the meh games probably at RCB instead of RWB and cameos that make it frustrating to own James

      1. banskt
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        That is very true. The key with James is to hold him tight, as long as he is not injured.

  2. sthelenslad92

    Struggling a bit with my 4th mid. My midfield is quite templatey:

    Salah - 8.0 - Martinelli - ______ - Andreas

    Currently on Neto but I'm not convinced, decent fixtures but no Jimenez for wolves so I'm not sure. Is Bailey a better bet?

    1. liner
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Bailey, neto are two most mensioned. If they are not what u want and dont think wolwes are most attacking team than u can try with Leeds mid Aaronson. He is quite atacking and Leeds are team that must go to goal more to get result. Just 1% picked and he can be good differential

  3. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Advice on the below pls?

    think Im there... Perisic could be Trippier and Iverson to Sanchez.
    Other than that, im locked.

    Ward
    TAA Cancelo James Perisic
    Salah Diaz Rashford Martinelli
    Kane Jesus

    Iverson Williams Andreas Archer

    Kane to haaland GW2 is the plan....

    1. PapaWengzz
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Great team. G2G

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Thanks mate

    2. banskt
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      This is the template structure, nothing wrong there. Good to start the game. Make changes as needed as the season unfolds.

      Only suggestion would be to avoid Manchester players.

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        yeah just feel there is value in Rashford possibly, not sure who else to go with at that range

        1. gaurava1216
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          rashford and Iverson to Neto + Mendy is the only other option

        2. banskt
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          I had the same dilemma. Trossard, JWP and ASM are all good options at that price in my opinion. However, I wouldn't start with any of them. Also, if Manchester starts playing better then Rashford is great value indeed. If you think they will improve with Ten Haag, then stick with it -- nice differential.

          I chose Bailey and used the remaining money elsewhere. To each his own.

  4. Drop Dead Tsimikas

    4 years, 23 days ago

    Best wolves defender not named Sa?

    1. Dutchy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Jonny

  5. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Which one to go for?
    1. Kane and Luis Diaz
    2. Salah and bench fodder

    1. Dutchy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      1 but how does that work

      1. Messiah Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        If I spend 1.5 more in midfield, I need to get a 5.5/6m forward and there are none who are good for a regular starting place at that price point

  6. Dutchy
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Boy I hope sterling braces at Goodison

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Wonky teeth?

  7. House Frey Wedding Planner
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    What's the best option with this team?

    Ederson* (Ward)
    TAA Perisic Cancelo* Trippier* (White)
    Salah Diaz* Martinelli* Bailey (Andreas)
    Kane Jesus (Greenwood)

    A - Ederson, Cancelo, Trippier, Martinelli, Diaz
    B - Sanchez, Walker, Dalot, Martinelli, KDB
    C - Ederson, Robbo, Walker, Martinelli, Mount
    D - Sanchez, Robbo, Cancelo, Saka, Neto
    E - Ederson, Robbo, Walker, Saka, Grealish

    Cheers

    2. gaurava1216

      A or C

      D

  8. Lukakwho

    Unpopular opinion:

    Not picking Cucurella is booking in a transfer.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Left sided centre back? Nah.

    2. I Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Talk that he may play LCB. I'd prefer James or Chilwell for a million more if that's the case.

  9. Zoostation
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Any advice, feeling G2G. 0.5 ITB

    Ederson (Ward)

    TAA James Gabriel Trippier (Williams)

    Salah (C) Saka Kulusevski Bailey (Andreas)

    Haaland Jesus (Archer)

  10. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Thinking about going non-Haaland in the first GW.

    Ward
    TAA - Walker - Perisic - Trippier
    Salah - Son - Rashford - Bailey
    Kane - Jesus

    Iversen, Andreas, Neco, Dervisoglu

    1. Zoostation
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Good team. Make the GW2 switch if needed no issue with Son.

      1. Zoostation
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Kane to Haaland obviously

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      I’d rather KDB than Son tbh

  11. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Imagine Man City bought perhaps the most explosive and prolific striker in Europe, sold his main competition and was then priced at £11.5 and £1.5 mill cheaper than Salah and even cheaper that Son & KdB … we would all think we were in dream land and he would be the highest owned player in the game … oh wait … 🙂

    1. banskt
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Jesus is overbought. Price drop imminent.

    2. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Injuries cough cough

  12. frankiemay
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Mendy or Ramsdale? As a set and forget. Both have good fixtures, who do you see collecting more clean sheets?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Ramsdale if pre season speaks any volumes … but then Chelsea now have a different line up…

    2. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      I’d go with Mendy long-term but Ramsdale isn’t a bad shout, especially for the beginning of the season

  13. bowsy51
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    A) Robbo + Bailey
    B) Any 5.5 DEF + Rashford

    1. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      A if B means 2 LIV assets

  14. PKnox11
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    A) Cash/Trippier and Saka
    B) Perišić and Sancho

    1. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      B

    2. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      A

  15. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    In the Scoutcast they advocated for rotation - Andy even has 5.5 Neto on his bench, but I didn't understand their reasoning. Anyone know why they advise for an expensive bench this year?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Five subs means lots more player rotation

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        But why that matters I’m not sure ; for me five subs means less mins not no shows

  16. C0YS
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    How would you rank these mid-priced mids?

    A) Mount
    B) Maddison
    C) Kulusevski
    D) Sancho
    E) Coutinho
    F) Mahrez

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      I’d say right now it’s

      Mount
      Maddison
      Mahrez
      Kulu
      Sancho
      Coutinho

      1. C0YS
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Thanks!

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

      Bowen should be on that list and he’s the best of the bunch. I’m just waiting to see how he performs against MCI then hopefully bring him in GW2. I wouldn’t be surprised if he scores against city

      1. C0YS
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Great shout, knew I was forgetting someone. Too bad I can’t afford him in my current draft…would you pick Diaz or Bowen?

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

          If we get last seasons Bowen the definitely Bowen. He’s nailed and scores against anyone

          1. Bushwhacker
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 23 days ago

            IF West Ham have another purple season … I’m concerned myself

  17. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Which trio do you prefer?

    A) James, Diaz & 4.5 fodder (5-3-2)
    B) Nico, Neto & Darwin (4-3-3)

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Cancelo, Perisic, Doherty
    Salah, Martinelli
    Kane, Jesus

    Ward, Andreas, Archer

    1. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      A, but wouldn’t have Doherty.

      Btw are you providing feedback as well?

    2. mikeblackert
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      A

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Really don’t like the Spurs double up at the back …

  18. thattreblefeeling
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Ward
    TAA Robertson Cancelo James
    Salah Mount Martinelli Bailey
    Kane Jesus

    Iverson Williams Andreas Archer

    Thoughts? 0 ITB so no room to manoeuvre really but looks ok I think

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Its fine ; no midfield is seemingly popular

    2. Heskey Time
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Same as mine accent I have Saka for mount and James for martinelli. Yours is probably more flexible with that formation

      1. Heskey Time
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Meant Perisic for martinelli my mistake

  19. mikeblackert
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Final squad before Gameweek 1. Thoughts?

    G - Meslier, Sanchez
    D - AA, Cancelo, Trippier, Ait-Nouri, Neco
    M - Salah, Saka, Luis Diaz, Zaha, Andreas
    F - Jesus, Watkins, Toney

  20. SKENG
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Who would you rather have for the first few weeks:

    A) Perisic (532)
    B) Martinelli (442)

    1. mikeblackert
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      I'd say B

    2. Brimble82
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      B for me

  21. Marknlard
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Which is better?

    A Kane/Mount (or Mahrez)
    B Son/Martial

    1. Marknlard
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      B leaves 0.5 in the bank

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        B is high risk more reward

        1. Marknlard
          • 17 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          Yes, probably need to see what happens with Martial in the first few weeks. Would rather put the money in midfield

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

      I’m stuck on that too. I’d prefer A but I’m wary of Kanes slow starts

      1. Marknlard
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        That's also something to consider, the August Jinx.

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

          Yeah although I have Kane in my draft atm I think I’d rather go with the stats & possibly miss out on a return from him than receive a blank

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

          It’s hard coz he’s performed so well pre season

          1. Bushwhacker
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 23 days ago

            Conte will not allow slow starts. Right?

  22. FlamingMoe
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Rays Ward
    TAA Robo Cash Trip. X
    Salah Son Bailey X Andreas
    Jesus X archer

    A) Cancelo Martinelli Toney
    B) Dias or James, Mount, Mbeumo

    1. mikeblackert
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      A for me

    2. mikeblackert
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      For week 1, I may go Cancelo, Neto, Watkins (vs. BOU)

  23. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Robertson or cancelo?

    1. FlamingMoe
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Robo for me, but May end up with both

  24. some witty pun
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    any advice on which is better?
    A)
    Wardversen
    TAA Dier* Dias Walker Perisic
    Salah Neto
    Haaland Kane Jesus*

    or

    B)
    Wardversen
    TAA Robbo* Dias Walker Perisic
    Salah Martinelli* Neto
    Haaland Kane

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Dier+Jesus or Robbo+Matinelli

      FTFY

  25. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Which is the best way to go?
    1. Kane, Luis Diaz, Cancelo
    2. Darwin, Son, Perisic

    1. Brimble82
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      1

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Salah or no Salah?

  26. Brimble82
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    I think I'm done:
    Mendy (Ward)
    TAA/Robbo/Cancelo/Walker (Neco)
    Salah/Saka/Martinelli/Bailey (Andreas)
    Kane/Jesus (Archer)

    Now to sit back and watch Haaland, James, Son & Diaz haul in GW1!

    1. Marknlard
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Nice, but I'm not sold on the arsenal triple attack. Saka to another 8.0 for me, spread it out a bit

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        This.

  27. klopptimusprime
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Thoughts on this rotation?

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Robbo - Cancelo - Doherty
    Salah - Saka - Aaronson - Bailey
    Kane - Jesus

    Ward - Ait-Nouri - Andreas - Archer

    Will bench:
    GW1: Ait-Nouri vs lee
    GW2: Doherty vs che
    GW3: Aaronson vs CHE + RAN vs TOT (Start Andreas vs BRE)
    GW4: Ait-Nouri vs NEW or Bailey vs WHU

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      I don't get the appeal of Aaronson

      1. klopptimusprime
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Punt based on pre-season eye test/ he's on set pieces in an attacking team, could always revert to Neto but staying put for now

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Honestly think Leeds are going to be defense first and struggle ; Aaronson is a wild pick.

    Down to 5 final spots..

    A) Trippier+Perisic+Saka+(Dasilva)+(Archer) (5-3-2)
    B) Trippier+(Neco)+Martinelli+8.0mid+(Archer) (4-4-2)
    C) Perisic+(Neco)+Martinelli+(Dasilva)+Wilson (4-3-3)

    Which to go?
    A looks the best but have the least exit route
    B allow me to jump on any sub-8m mids but currently favouring none of the 8m mids
    C has the best depth with no 4.5fwds on the bench but not sure on Wilson’s explosiveness

    great article by Sky regarding Saliba, he has looked absolute class in pre season, but i wasn't aware of his stats from last season, he is going to be an absolute bonus magnet if he can replicate this kind of level

    from the article

    "Saliba registered 3,438 touches, the most by any player in Ligue 1, and set a divisional record for the most passes completed in a single season with 2,833, helping to retain possession for Marseille but also launching attacks from deep"
