With the line-up changing more frequently than Nottingham Forest’s centre-half pairing, it’s time for another exclusive video for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout.

Andy North is back from his own hiatus, while Burning Questions co-host Pras steps up to the guest seat in the absence of the ill Mark Sutherns.

The pair will be chatting over on our YouTube channel about their own teams and how they’re approaching Blank/Double Gameweek 25 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

Are they backing Bukayo Saka (£8.4m) or Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) as captain? How many Liverpool players are they going for? And will Andy go further than the ‘-4’ he already took in midweek?

The future Blank and Double Gameweeks will no doubt also be on the agenda, with a dozen doublers in Gameweek 29 now factored into the chip strategy thinking.

Andy and Pras are live from 20:45 GMT, with the stream watchable via the embedded video below.

And if you’ve missed the start or indeed the whole of the live broadcast, you can of course still watch the stream back from the start in its entirety.

Only Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout will be able to watch the video below, so make sure you sign up today to get access to not just this stream but also exclusive YouTube content from Andy, Mark and others throughout the 2022/23 campaign.

    KDB, Mitro, Shaw, Pattrson > (Sa)alah, Watkins, TAA, Tark for -8?

    Seems a bit risky but could pay off?

    Estupinan still nailed? Was subbed early last game.

      Minor muscle injury

  3. Fit_to_drop

    Pick one:

    A.Pickford & Robbo
    Or
    B.Forster & TAA

    Exact money. Own Tarko but no other Pool.

    Not sure what to do. Used my FT to bring in TAA but that still only leaves me with potentially up to 10 playing. Would you just let it ride or is there a smarter move?

    Ederson
    Ake Ream TAA
    Madders Saka Ode
    Kane Haaland Nketiah

    Kepa Shaw Rashford Mitoma Tripps 0.4itb

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maddison may be flagged?

      1. Old Bull
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yes that’s worrying.

    2. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Shaw to Tarks should cost you nothing and has upside, plus better fixtures coming up

      1. Old Bull
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I know that’s the popular move on here. If I lose Shaw it’s going to mean I’d have to find at least 0.3 extra to get him back again and Utd seem to be finishing strong.

  5. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Have Liverpool a presser tomorrow? Darwin rising tonight so not sure whether to get him in tonight

  6. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If Gakpo gets 100-120 mins and Mahrez 90 mins, who would you guys prefer?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mahrez

    2. Lionel Fellaini
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mahrez

    3. FPL Equilibrium
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mahrez, but for what it’s worth I don’t think he starts

  7. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane to Darwin worth -4 considering Liverpool fixtures?

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’m doing it for free. Not sure about -4

    2. Lionel Fellaini
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Darwin more explosive. Kane always delivers points though

      1. Jase3377
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        More explosive with 1 double digit score vs 4 for Kane?

    3. One Man
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I decided against it as only brought Kane in recently. But I’ve been wrong this season a lot.

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

      I'm weighing up the same thing.

    5. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not for a hit

    6. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not worth a hit imo

    7. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kinda tempted to attack this DGW and get TAA with another hit as well

    8. FPL Equilibrium
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No! Not sure why people are doing this move. DGW has got people going crazy

  8. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kepa, Ward
    Tripper, Ake, White, Kilman, Tarkowski
    Fernandes, Rashford, Mahrez, Odegaard, Mitoma
    Haaland, Kane, Nketiah

    2FT

    Fernandes & White --> Saka & TAA?

    1. Goodnight Kiwi
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Would sell Trips over White myself

      1. Goodnight Kiwi
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ah sorry 3x Arse. Yeah nice move then

      2. Jimjam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Only prob there is I'd have 4 Arsenal

        1. Jimjam
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          Beat me to it! Thanks mate

  9. One Man
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Big win tonight for Man United, against the current leaders of La Liga. The new manager is having a positive influence on this team that failed to get in together since SAF departed.

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Only Man C have the riches in talent throughout the team like that of an international team currently. Think France 98 or Brazil, Spain, Germany etc.

      The rest of the 'normal' top 8 have world class players but equally have strategic weaknesses. Id say MNU are in the next top 2 on paper currently. Good manager (by comparison) and less positions requiring strengthening. Quality and depth of squad remains an issue tho.

      1. One Man
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yes they need another window. But in that window Arsenal, Man City etc will also strengthen.

        What was telling for me pre-season was when ETH was questioned about Man City/Liverpool dominance, he said that all teams have their spell of success. Interesting that Liverpool then go on to show how true his comments were.

        1. BUZZBOMB ♡
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Im not sure ARS will. How can MCI? Ally McCoist nailed it today when he highlighted how Haaland doesnt fit Pep's system. LIV story will end in a new manager and an unsuccesful rebuild. CHE too. Spurs will go on being Spurs.

          The opportunity for MNU is right here.

          Im completely neutral btw.

          1. One Man
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Yes I heard Haaland not fitting Pep’s system last week too, it was Souness and someone. But City can adapt, even with Haaland still think they’re win the league this season. Liverpool could come back as quick as they descended. Newcastle aren’t far off either.

            But you could have a point, United have reinvented themselves. I think what will be pivotal for United is how well they recruit a new striker over the summer. Toney could end up at United which I think would be a good fit.

  10. Lionel Fellaini
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bruno out for a -4? Would give me 11 players.

    Already own Salah, Martinelli, Andreas and Rashford in the middle. And have triple Arsenal.

    Mahrez, Bowen, Gakpo or play with 10?

  11. Ribus
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    To field 11 players:
    A) Almiron -> Iwobi/McNeil
    B) Shaw -> Tarkowski

    1. Goodnight Kiwi
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

  12. Goodnight Kiwi
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Have a big h2h this week so thoughts on these options as best move for this week only appreciated.

    Kepa Ward
    Trips Shaw White Tark Tete
    Bruno Rash Martinelli Mahrez March
    Haaland Kane Nketiah

    Option 1:
    Bruno - Salah
    Trippier - Killman/Coleman (-4)

    Option 2:
    Bruno - Salah
    Kane - Darwin (-4)
    2b: Shaw - Robbo (-8)

    Option 3:
    Bruno - Gakpo
    Shaw - Trent (-4)

    1. Old Bull
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If it were me I’d go Salah Killman. With h2h I like to try to second guess who my opponent is likely to captain and then match them. It’s also worth trying to guess how many transfers they might make before going with anything above a -4 hit.

    2. FPL Equilibrium
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bruno to Salah and that’s it

  13. One Man

    Outlook has failed to load all day, can’t read notifications to FFS, is gmail any better ?

      98% of serious ManU fans agree that Yahoo! is tops bro. Just a totally rad place to hang.

            • 9 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            A troll I think, that’s why I ignore.

            1. Mirror Man
              3 years, 4 months ago

              You should make sure before spouting accusations mate.

            2. BUZZBOMB ♡
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              We know who it is. Unfortunately, there's still not a filter.

              1. Mirror Man
                3 years, 4 months ago

                It? I'm right here mate. No need to be like that.

  14. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bueno to play two games or doubtful?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Probably gets appearances in both, at the very least.

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      100 mins in DGW

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Probably 90 mins over the 2 games

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

      I think he’ll start one, but no idea which

  15. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who scores more in GW 25?

    A) Darwin + Gakpo + Akanji
    B) Watkins + Gakpo + TAA (-4)

    Cheers!

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

  16. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    really want Odegaard. would you take -4 to transfer out Martinelli for Ode?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If you really want him, do it.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Probably no

    3. One Man
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No, 4 I’d wait till next week.

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        think Ode has 3 attacking returns in him over the two games and when you add the bonus the hit can be justified.

        1. Bennerman
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Is there maybe a bit of over-optimism here? Ode only got one return in last four matches, you're after three in two over the double, plus bonus.
          Could happen, of course, not implausible. But does look a bit optimistic to me.

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

      I’d only do it if you’re not planning to WC in the next few weeks. I doubt it pays off over the next couple

  17. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Currently fielding 9 with Patterson and Bueno. Any of these worth doing for a -4

    A) Shaw > Tarkowski
    B) Shaw > Gabriel
    C) Almiron > Iwobi

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Can you not do Miggy to an Arsenal attacker

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Could only afford Xhaka for him. The alternative is Toney > Nketiah

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yup I would do that Toney to Nketiah move.

    2. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B. You prob wont want Shaw back for 3 or 4 GWs and depending on how long uv had him, losing valuewise, it'll only end up being 0.1 or 0.2.

      1. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Sorry. A or B. A first.

      2. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yep was thinking the same. The alternative is lose Trippier but got a lot of value tied up in him (like most)

        1. BUZZBOMB ♡
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Nah keep Trippers for now. Reassess on WC.

  18. Tonyawesome69

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on the options below

    A. Bruno and Mitro to Gakpo (punt) and Darwin (-4)
    B. White, Bruno and Mitro to TAA, Ode and Darwin (-8)
    C. Patterson, Bruno and Mitro to TAA, McNeil and Darwin (-8)

    1FT 1.8ITB
    Kepa
    White Tark Patterson

    Haaland Nketiah Mitro

  19. Aye

    Who scores more

    Gakpo
    Mahrez

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think I would roll the dice on the doubler assuming no hits are required

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Algerian messi

    3. Lionel Fellaini
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mahrez if he plays 90 and Gakpo gets 100-120

      1. Aye
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thank you!

    4. Mirror Man
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Gakpo is the new David Bellion. Avoid.

      1. Goro Majima
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ouch. I'd forgotten about him.

    5. FPL Equilibrium

      Gakpo

  20. FPLMACKEM

    Kepa
    Tarkowski, White, Patterson
    KDB, Saka, Bruno, Andreas
    Haaland, Nketiah, Toney

    Ward, Trippier, Rashford, Shaw

    1ft 0.5 itb.

    Is this worth a -8?

    KDB, Bruno and Shaw to Salah, Gakpo and TAA?

  21. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on this ? Asked earlier but didn't get much response

    Used my 2fts for Tark/Darwin

    Have Bruno benched but he's probably not gonna play for me again as I'm swapping for Maddison gw26.

    So it's got me thinking of doing Bruno➡️Gakpo-4. Even if he gets 4 pts for appearances only,I break evn . Anything else is a bonus.

    Yay or nay ?

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’m don’t get the love for Gakpo. He probably starts one game anyway. Bobby and Jota lurking

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Just trying to cover Salah really. Darwin and gakpo might do it. I'm guessing most my rivals with go kdb➡️Salah.

    2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      would you have 11 players playing if you don’t make the move? Who is Bruno benched for

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Only 9.

    3. Lionel Fellaini

      Same dilemma here. Currently have 10 players so Bruno out looks likely but no idea who to get. Gakpo, Mahrez or Bowen trying not to be blinded by the DGW. I’d sell them in 26 for a Brighton player anyway

        Mayb I could go straight to Maddison for the hit but he may have a knock?

      If you only have 10 players playing, then I’d do it.

      1. camarozz

        3 years, 4 months ago

        9 actually, but Patterson/Bueno are two if them, 7 that double with saka(c)

        1. One Man
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Go for it then mate.

          He who dares wins.

      Id 100% genuinely go Bowen for next 5 GWs over Gakpo.

      1. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Or Brighton mids.of course

      2. One Man
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I’d def go Bowen too, with a mind of keeping him till the double on 29.

  22. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

    Captain Darwin or Saka?

    1. Lionel Fellaini
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Saka

    2. One Man
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Saka.

  23. ididnt

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Captain Salah or Saka?

    1. One Man
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah, but it’s very close.

  24. AD105

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Anything worth a hit here? Have 0.3 ITB

    Kepa
    White Tarkowski Bueno
    Salah Saka Odegaard Pereira
    Haaland Kane

    Ward, Tripps, Botman, Rashford, Toney

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane->Nunez for me.

      1. AD105
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        That’s one I’m contemplating

  25. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 4 months ago

    2ft getting Salah and Darwin. Ok then for hits
    A) Shaw to Tark-4
    B) Ake to Tark and Shaw to TAA-8
    To get TAA I have to downgrade both Shaw and Ake

    1. Lionel Fellaini
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

  26. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    GTG?

    Anything worth a hit?

    Ederson ,
    White, Bueno, Tark
    Mahrez, Ode, C Saka, Gakpo
    Hauland, Kane,

    Ward, Trippier, Shaw, Toney, Rashford

    .8.

  27. Ten Hag of Bud
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    a) Cucu & Lewis to Tark & Myko -4

    b) Cucu to Myco or Tark

    What to do?

  28. NumberSix
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ederson (Ward)
    White - Tarkowski - bueno - Neco (Shaw)
    Saka - Salah - Andreas (Mitoma, Rashford)
    Haaland, Kane, Nketiah

    Should I
    A) Sub out Neco for cheap DGW defender (Everton or wolves double up) -8
    B) sub out Mitoma for cheapish midfielder (maybe Iwobi) -8
    C) hold and hope Neco plays
    D) bring in a longer term DGW player

    Can’t afford Trent etc

  29. Kingy109
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    FTs used and team is:
    Pickford
    Gabriel Bueno
    Mahrez Saka Odegaard Salah
    Haaland Kane Gnonto
    (Ward Trippier Estupinan Mitoma Botman)

    1) Stick and play 10
    2) Botman to Tark -4 but a bit boring
    3) -8 to get Trent from Botman needs to downgrade Mahrez or Kane

    1. thobe230
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Prob stick, as you already have Pickford. Not -8

    A) Mahrez
    B) Bowen
