£500 was up for grabs in our World Cup Predictor game – and we now reveal which Premium Member of Fantasy Football Scout has scooped the jackpot. Or should we say ‘Members’, plural…

Ahead of Qatar 2022, subscribers were asked to predict everything from the correct scores of the tournament games to the Golden Boot winner.

The two most successful predictors were Qprcaribbean and Dannymufc, who both racked up 110 points.

They now share the jackpot, getting £250 each – congratulations to those two!

Our winners should contact az@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk to claim their prize.

    Anyone considering Robbo or Trent? And if so which one do you prefer?

      Thought about Robbo momentarily, but sharing minutes with Tsimikas makes him a no no.

      Why gamble on Fofana who is coming back from injury in a Chelsea team who have leaked goals. White much better or Patterson to save money.

    B would leave me without City defence and Arsenal attackers.

    Is Bueno a trap? Played the last 6 but been burnt with Wolves cheap defenders before. Perraud seems more nailed and Southampton good fixtures. Any other good options up to £4.5?

    Other defenders are White, Cancelo, Trippier, Patterson. If keep Bueno would upgrade White to Gabriel for goal threat.

        My thought is that he would be bench fodder, until the rare occasion he starts over Haaland as fixtures become more congested, and he could go off in those situations. I would nearly always go 4-4-2.

    Hi, guys two questions if I may:

    What do we think of Martial as part of a 3 man forward line?

    Is it time to move Cancelo on? Would Ederson or another City def get adequate cover for their many CS?

    Cheers 🙂

      Martial is too inconsistent. I think Mitro, Wilson, Toney, Solanke and, possibly, Ings are good alternatives.

      Cancelo, on GW1-16 form looked overpriced.

      If Martial can stay fit then he is a good option. With Ronaldo gone the ‘front 3’ positions will be from 6 players:
      - 4 established players - Anthony Martial Rashford Sancho
      - 2 youth players - Elanga Garnacho

    Not turned back to FPL until now, so catching up.

    In terms of 'interesting' teams (for FPL) is this the perceived wisdom for the restart?

    Man City - to surge on relentlessly.
    Newcastle - will remain strong.
    Liverpool - turned a corner?
    Man U - on the up and contenders for Top 4
    Leicester - out of their bad patch
    Chelsea - no reason to think anything has improved
    Arsenal - won't be as strong, just because of Jesus? (thing this is being overdone)
    Brentford, Brighton, Fulham - likely to fade?
    West Ham, Leeds, Villa - no change, nothing to get excited about.

          It is by no means a weak draft. One decent bench cover player is sufficient most of the time. Andreas has a double coming, too. Walker may not always play. Can you afford Patterson of Everton as cover?
