Scout’s Matchday 3 picks for the free-to-play SPITCH Fantasy game


Sponsored by SPITCH


The Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline has passed: now attention turns to SPITCH, where you effectively have a Free Hit chip to play every week and are only judged on your best five matchdays!

So one week of accidentally forgetting to play won’t be problematic – even starting in April still gives you a chance of winning prizes.

There are two season-long options for the 2022/23 campaign, one of which is free and has a £2,500 prize pool.

HOW TO PLAY SPITCH

SPITCH is a platform where managers can use their football knowledge to defeat others and win money prizes.

As with FPL, managers commit to a formation and have a budget to buy players for their line-up, in the quest to score points and win prizes.

But unlike FPL, managers can actually go under or over their ₵1,200 budget – this will determine how many positive or negative points they begin the round with.

Each week of ‘Season’ mode requires a new line-up with no captains. Managers are allowed up to nine players from the same club and can alter teams mid-matchday. ‘Safety Net’ automatically replaces non-starters, whilst a sophisticated scoring system rewards defensive actions in a way that FPL does not.

MATCHDAY 2 REVIEW

These were the top-scoring players of the weekend matches.

GKDEFMIDST
Sa (404)R James (478)De Bruyne (627)Jesus (891)
Henderson (394)Alexander-Arnold (458)Foden (512)Rodrigo (694)
Fabianski (294)N Williams (454)Jensen (480)Luis Diaz (420)
Raya (277)Koulibaly (418)Xhaka (475)Zaha (390)
Pope (251)Cucurella (410)Hojbjerg (422)Benrahma (383)
Niakhate (365)Gundogan (405)Watkins (360)
Cancelo (365)H Elliott (368)Kane (353)
Struijk (362)McGinn (351)Mahrez (325)
Holgate (354)Mount (344)Martinelli (270)
Ake (337)Rodri (340)Ings (262)

Meanwhile, 27 players finished with a negative score, headlined by Callum Wilson (-79) and Daniel Podence (-50). There were no red cards, penalty misses or own goals for the Newcastle United forward – just a series of fouls and lost tackles.

A special mention goes to Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic, who only entered proceedings in the 84th minute but found a way to end on -35 points.

SCOUT’S MATCHDAY 3 LINE-UP

The selection for Matchday 2 totalled 1,341 points, which ranked at 5,503rd place.

Joao Cancelo (365) was included and subsequently rewarded for making 83 passes, seven successful tackles and an assist for Manchester City’s fourth goal.

Aleksandar Mitrovic (-16) missed a penalty, whilst the absent Matt Targett (0) wasn’t able to be replaced via ‘Safety Net’.

Dean Henderson (₵58) is the highest-scoring goalkeeper so far, with 719 points far ahead of the next best, Jose Sa (₵63). A clean sheet is already in the bag and Henderson will be confident of another against an Everton side without Dominic Calvert-Lewin (₵121).

In this 3-3-4 formation, goal scorer Reece James (₵138) is backed to follow up Sunday’s 478 points with more success against Leeds United.

Ben Davies (₵66) set up the first Spurs equaliser and now has an appealing home clash with Wolves, although be aware that clean sheet points don’t exist in SPITCH. Completing the back line is Ruben Dias (₵145), who netted in last season’s equivalent trip up to Newcastle.

On this occasion, our squad has gone ₵19 over budget because that is allowed in this game, it just means starting with -19 points. Still, knowing how to spot budget gems like Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (₵22) is important, as prices will remain this way until a mid-season refresh.

The Leicester City man followed a pre-season of goals by netting against Brentford on the opening day. Both he and forward Jamie Vardy (₵100) will be eyeing more returns when Southampton visit.

Furthermore, there is an Arsenal double-up for their match versus Bournemouth. Gabriel Jesus (₵156) scored a stunning 891 points in Matchday 2 and is a prime candidate for captaincy in FPL. Midfielder Oleksandr Zinchenko (₵90) joins him in our line-up.

Spurs’ Dejan Kulusevski (₵94) tallied 465 two games ago, whilst Ivan Toney (₵100) already has a goal and two assists in this league campaign. Then there is Mohamed Salah (₵250). A man who needs no introduction, he scored a hat-trick at Manchester United last season and – with the way things have started for Erik ten Hag – it’d be foolish to suggest he couldn’t do it again.

        Me too. Thought he would start so gambled.

        He will get at least 60 and cleanie. If I was more confident he'd have started may have even captained.

        Kept him as I thought he would get his start this week. Also sold Neto so cue a Neto goal and Persic sub at 59 mins. 😀

      Can see it now. Wolves will score early. Perisic yellow card and subbed off in 59th minute.

      Some seem a little salty they don't have Perisic

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        I'm not because owning him will end in disappointment 🙂

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            1 year, 7 months ago

            That's a suspiciously salty sounding comment

            1. DycheDycheBaby
              • 8 Years
              1 year, 7 months ago

              Exactly! It's the only way to fit in on here these days 😉

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  1 year, 7 months ago

                  Have you tried asking other people what to do for every single decision on your team?

                    Oh of course, and then moaned at those same people when it doesn't work out!! 😀

              He’s the big threat in this one. We all
              Thought about getting him in. Good luck to those who did!

            Is having Kane instead of Perisic good enough?

              • 12 Years

              Perisic may assist him you know...

              • 7 Years
              1 year, 7 months ago

              You think Kane can 'cover' Perisic 🙂

                1 year, 7 months ago

                Not quite sure top 10k is representive or meaningful as many are there because of an early TC pay off.

                  • 8 Years
                  1 year, 7 months ago

                  It's never representative of anything but the top 10k to be fair. It's skewed towards players who have done well in the past, especially towards the beginning of the season. It's obvious, but we don't tend to talk about it like that. Not sure what kind of meaning you could be looking for

                  1. AC/DC AFC

                    • 8 Years

                    This is the current top 10k rank

                    I think it comes down to Salah or Haaland hauling...

                    Gabriel Jesus is the biggest question mark this GW.

                  Pleasantly surprised. I went Salah instead of Jesus as the safer option.. but maybe I got the best of both.

                Lolz, what a blunder! Looking at my WC team. Just figured everyone playing away. Except Ward.
                Next week everyone is at home.

                Basic FPL mistake -- should have picked players with even distribution of home and away games.

                1. Bobby Digital
                  • 6 Years
                  1 year, 7 months ago

                  I like it this way, especially when the away games are relatively easy.

                  1. banskt
                    • 10 Years
                    1 year, 7 months ago

                    I prefer an even mix of home and away. But yeah, easy away fixtures.

                    Lockdown football was an anomaly. Things becoming normal again, home fixtures become distinctly advantageous.

                2. Bobby Digital
                  • 6 Years
                  1 year, 7 months ago

                  I have all players playing away this week and all playing at home next week.

                  • 14 Years
                  1 year, 7 months ago

                  Not really.

                  The way early fixtures have been it’s been usual that most of the good players are all either home or away at the same time.

                    Is it though? Having a couple of Spurs players, Zaha, Maddison, Trippier will already mitigate this.

                  all playing at home next week. works both ways.

                  • 3 Years
                  1 year, 7 months ago

                  That’s the case for a lot of teams. Ward and spurs players at home, everyone else away in most teams

                Gone Dejan over Cancelo, he better repay the faith

                  • 14 Years
                  1 year, 7 months ago

                  What, as in you benched Cancelo?

                  1. TheBiffas
                    • 3 Years
                    1 year, 7 months ago

                    No, I was debating whether to get Cancelo and play 433 or Kulu 343 on wildcard

                    1. Nomar
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 14 Years
                      1 year, 7 months ago

                      Even worse then.

                      1. TheBiffas
                        • 3 Years
                        1 year, 7 months ago

                        Oh 🙁

                        1. Nomar

                          1 year, 7 months ago

                          Just would have both, certainly would do everything possible to have Cancelo.

                    • 5 Years
                    1 year, 7 months ago

                    Don't think so, perhaps going Walker instead

                Bit off topic, but best max 5.2 keeper until GW8?

                  Ramsdale / Mendy -- take your pick.

                  Good luck, hope you do well, but with a few less points than I.

                    Haha! Do well. Your team looks much better with Rashford out.

                  Zero players from Liverpool and 68% template rating. Thought it would be lower.

                  1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
                    • 7 Years
                    1 year, 7 months ago

                    Yes. Surprising. I think a lot of teams have gone two Liverpool instead of three now. Might be a contributor.

                    1. banskt

                      Or, Ragabolly needs to update the algorithm.

                        Reading that comment and the way he works on constantly improving that site, the guy must have started doing his checks already!

                1 year, 7 months ago

                Are you dead if you don't own all three of Jesus, Salah and Haaland?

                1. TheBiffas
                  • 3 Years
                  1 year, 7 months ago

                  Depends whether they haul it not 🙂

                2. Arteta
                  • 8 Years
                  1 year, 7 months ago

                  No. I believe that Kane and de Bruyne can match or even outscore them.

                  1. Arteta
                    • 8 Years
                    1 year, 7 months ago

                    There are many ways to get points.

                  • 14 Years

                  Not necessarily.

                  Depends what your differentials do instead.

                  Iv got those 3 and KDB which means they all blank this week

                  No just a risk taker if you're on KDB, Son and Kane etc

                  No, I will still live. Its only a game -- do you really care?

                I just realised I have all starting 11 players at home next gw:

                Raya
                Taa/Cancelo/James
                Salah(c)/Gundo/Martinelli/Xhaka

                  Only away player for me is Kulu

                  • 7 Years
                  1 year, 7 months ago

                  Got two away here - Kane and Trippier

                Triple Captained Salah.

                    • 3 Years
                    1 year, 7 months ago

                    Pretty safe bet, guaranteed at least 2 goals

                  Made a list of the current top 10 must have players in FPL right now:

                  Arnold
                  Cancelo
                  James
                  Salah

                  Håland
                  Jesus
                  Kane

                  What do you think guys?

                    Just drop down % owned.

                    Tbe game has updated

                    • 11 Years
                    1 year, 7 months ago

                    Yeah if you own all 10 of them you'll probably do alright.

                      • 9 Years
                      1 year, 7 months ago

                      I'd probably be on those 10 if I had an unlimited budget.

                      Just needs a goal keeper

                    1 year, 7 months ago

                    Got 7 of them. Still 69% template rating this GW.

                  4. The Knights Template
                    • 10 Years

                    7 out of 10
                    not bad

                    Just missing Kdb, Son and Kane

                  Glad Perisic is now first choice but Royal over Doherty, really Conte?

                    Doherty isn't fully fit

                    They will all rotate with midweek cup games etc

                  I started Bailey. I wish someone could have talked me out of it, but everyone seems so positive about him.

                    I have started him too. One last chance.

                  Are any Haaland owners concerned at his lack of touches during the first couple of games?

                    If he scores 4 with 12 touches then no.

                    Manchester City will feed it into him.

                      My thinking is that if the games are passing him by and he doesn’t keep up that strike rate then it could go the other way. Time will tell I suppose

                    Haaland owner. Not concerned at all. 4 touches, 4 goals and I will still be happy. 🙂

                    not really. rather that then Kane who thinks he is regista

                    None at all. If he scores one goal every game, one or two Baps with it, that's fine. My intention is for him as captain every week.

                      He had around 32 in the first game and scored twice, last week had a tap in if not for Foden's greed and had another decent chance too, he'll be fine

                      7 x Portuguese starters today is that a record for non-UK line ups in the Prem?

                        Must be. Arsenal never topped 5-6 French.

                      Guys, do you think Josh Da Silva will keep his place in the starting eleven? Heard from someone that since Brentford signed Damsgaard he will be benched quite a lot. Thoughts?

                        • 10 Years

                        Brentford fans think he will be benched. Sold him during WC and lost that extra 0.1m value. That's all I know.

                        He definitely won't be a regular.

                        zophers team with Perisic looked very strong to me.
                        doubts over minutes will always be an issue - especially making it to 60
