As we head into Double Gameweek 36, Andy North and Joe are back with another exclusive video for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout.

The pair will be chatting over on our YouTube channel about their own Fantasy Premier League (FPL) teams and transfers, as well as the week’s biggest talking points from within the online community.

The live chat will also be open as usual, in order for you to get involved.

Neither Joe nor Andy made a Gameweek 35 purchase, as Mohamed Salah (£13.1m) and Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m) helped one of the duo better the other by 12 points. Perhaps having two transfers to make at this late stage will lead to some exciting, maverick moves.

Andy and Joe are live from 20:00 BST, 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 a range of experts throughout the 2022/23 campaign.



FPL Marc Broadcaster, writer and overthinker. Hoping that ‘differential potential’ will catch on.

    Afternoon all. 2FT + 2.0m ITB. Grealish, Dalot, March and Rashford could well all not play. So which from the below please?

    Edersen
    TAA - Estupinan - Trippier
    Salah - Rashford - Mitoma - March
    Haaland - Isak - Wilson

    (Iversen) - Grealish - Dalot - Coufal

    A) March > Macallister
    B) March + Grealish > Macallister + Mahrez
    C) Grealish > Mahrez
    D) Anything else

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        cheers means i don't have 2FT next week but do like mahrez

    2. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Prob A and roll

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        A runs risk that might only have 10 players if grealish, dalot dont play but do like the idea of having 2 FT next week

    3. The Cloud Watcher
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Option B looks the best to me

    4. bautasten
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      A

    5. Lloyds of London
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      might want to go march + rashford > macallister +Mahrez.

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        I cant too mancy city - have edersen in Goal

  2. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Who can get more pts ?
    A- Solanke
    B- Alverz -4
    C- Toney -4
    D- Jesus -4
    E - one of Brighton Strikers -4

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      I’d prob punt on Ferguson at this stage

  3. estheblessed
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    What to do here? Should I take. Hit for Rashford? Or just let me subs come in...

    Ederson
    Trippier, TAA, Estupian
    Salah, Odegaard, Rashford, Mitoma
    Haaland, Wilson, Watkins

    Iverson, Grealish, Lindeloff, AWB

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      I’d let sub come in

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Subs dont take a hit

    3. estheblessed
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Thanks chaps

  4. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    So wilson or Isak?

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Isak

    2. bautasten
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Wait for the (probable) leak. I'd be tempted by Wilson if he starts

    3. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      I've gone both for a -4

  5. KDB4PREZ
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    If leading ML by 25-50 points and all chasers have double Newcastle defence would you play it safe and get botman over Wilson (team news depending)

    A) Wilson (feels highest ceiling but also risky considering the ML)

    B) Botman (covers all ML players)

    1. bautasten
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Depends on your team structure I guess, but I'd go for Wilson if he starts.

    2. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      I'd cover, but I tend to be more conservative.

  6. bautasten
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Kepa
    TAA, Trippier, Schär, Estupinan
    Salah, Fernandes, Mitoma, Mac A
    Isak (C), Haaland

    Ederson, Rashford*, Shaw, Greenwood

    2 FT, 0.6 ITB. Can't see a transfer here - any suggestions? Don't think I ever have burnt a transfer before.. 🙂

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Kinda stuck for an idea looking at it myself. Think I’d burn transfer,
      unless wanna punt on double Newcastle attack for -4 which seems unnecessary.

      1. bautasten
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Yeah, would really like 2 FTs for next week (and 38) so ideally just want to use the one transfer if any. Thanks for the reply!

    2. Patron
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Literally nothing

      1. bautasten
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Just a bit annoying to let everyone "catch up" to this team but what can you do. Hopefully there won't be that many with 2 FTs next week at least.. 🙂

        1. Patron
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          Thats for sure, I even looked at future gws to find something mkre suitable for your team but nope. Gtg 🙂

          1. Patron
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            More*

            1. bautasten
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 28 days ago

              Thanks, appriciate it 🙂

    3. Starskyb
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      You don't need kepa and Ederson imo. Choose one to play and sell other for iversen.

      1. bautasten
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        could be a shout. Or maybe Forster.I hate him but I don't think I can sell Ederson before his double.. 😉

    4. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Ederson out? Yes he has a double next week but it's clearly 2x2 points as always. Could see Kepa outscoring him despite the tougher double. Go cheap (Steele or Iversen) and free some cash up

      1. bautasten
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Yeah the infamous keeper transfer might be the play. Thanks for your input!

    5. Lloyds of London
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      rashford to marhez?

      1. bautasten
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Interesting. Could be an idea and then get Rashford back for Salah next week if Mahrez looks good, otherwise just reverse the transfer.

        I'll have a think, thanks!

    6. noissimbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Only transfer I can think of - Schar to Botman and free up 0.6, could be useful next week.

      Other than that, but at risk of backfiring, swap Rash with someone banked to return this GW, e.g. Mahrez and play over Schar or Estu.

    7. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Rashford for a city mid, or arsenal?

  7. N00B
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Thoughts on Willock captain? He could be Gundogan vs Leeds.

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Why not at this stage unless trying to hold a rank

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Brought him in instead of Wilson as there's nothing much left to lose towards the back end of the season but some possible gains to be made.

    3. Patron
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Wouldn’t do it, but we all remember two years ago what he did at the end of the season 🙂

    4. Deer-in-headlights
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Solid differential as he's nailed and gets into good positions.

  8. lawsy009
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    If I bought March at 5.2, and he's currently 5.3 but expected to go down tonight, how much would I get if I sold him after he drops? 5.3 or 5.2..?

    1. lawsy009
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      5.2 or 5.1, the question should read. Apologies..

      1. The Golden Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        5.2

    1. g40steve

      You need both next week?

      1. Ian Davis
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        I’ve got a free hit for next week and probably want other City player for GW38

  12. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

    Amazed that nobody has asked Isak, Wilson or both.

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Isak or Wilson?

      1. RashFraud
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Or both?

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Neither?

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years

    1. KDB4PREZ

    2. southernpacific
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      I’ve got Kdb too. Feel nervous without salah as all my rivals have him.

  14. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Alvarez to Wilson worth a -4? Catching up to ML leader.

    1. Patron
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Wouldn’t say so

    2. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      No because you’ll need him for next week anyway

  15. southernpacific
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Would you tell TAA and Gakpo if it means getting in Salah and keeping Kdb?

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      I wouldn't tell them you're preferring Salah and KDB over them, tbh.

      1. southernpacific
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Haha I mean Sell

  16. Patron
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Do you think TAA can punish a lot those who do not start him?

    And please do not be biased if possible, I don’t like the idea of benching DGW player.

    Cheers!

    1. southernpacific
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Most will end up getting him after rashford is out

      1. Patron
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        That’s true so EO will be really high.

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Trent stats are off the chart, could easily bag double figures. Estu could get 3 or 4 from 2 games.

      Or it could be the reverse

      1. Patron
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Yeah, ure definitely right. I will probably still gamble…

  17. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Arsenal and Newcastle away, Brighton ain't getting nothing there. Their good away form partly comes as a consequence of not yet passing these two challenges.

    1. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Heavy losses in both.

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      If Brighton can play through the high press, they might get some joy against Newcastle.

    3. noissimbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      All they/i need is one goal TBH. If that goal is supplied by Mitoma and scored by MacA, suffice for me. Both Arse and Newc have potential to let the odd goal in.

  18. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    March to MacA -4pts or play Shaw

    1. Starskyb
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      I think play shaw rather than take a hit

    2. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Shaw

    3. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      MacA over the next two GW's

  19. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    I wouldn't tell them you're preferring Salah and KDB over them, tbh

  20. estheblessed
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Who is everyone captaining?

    I am slimly leading my leagues so might just stick with Haaland...

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Isak but very tempted by Salah

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Me too

    2. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Isak

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Isak at the minute, but considering Haaland.

    4. noissimbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Wilson. Hopefully a positive differential cap.

  21. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Isak, Haaland and Salah the top 3 C picks this week imo

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Reply to estheblessed

    2. Starskyb
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Isak is just such a great logical pick, but Wilson keeps defying his minutes with his stats... could he not be best captain?

  22. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Play Watkins or do Rashford to Gakpo?

    1. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Watkins to Wilson or Alvarez

  23. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    A) Grealish
    B) Odegaard (-4)
    C) Mahrez (-4)

    Cheers

    1. RashFraud
      • 9 Years

      A

    2. Gazzpfc

      Ii did c more explosive than jack

  24. RashFraud
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Play Shaw or Martinelli in place of rashford? Or just play rashford and hope he starts

  25. MGD
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Is Rashford expected to be out for the DGW as well?

    1. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Don’t think we have info yet but ETH said he’s a doubt for this week so think he should be ok

  26. undersarmy
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    A) Grealish to Mahrez or
    B) Rashford to Mahrez

    1. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      A

  27. Bobby_Baggio
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Would you get rid of Grealish to Mahrez for free? Will mean keeping Mahrez till end

    1. undersarmy
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Yup its for free so would have Haaland/Grealish & Mahrez until the end of the season....my current rank is 28k so doing ok

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Yes

    3. Bobby_Baggio
      • 15 Years

      thanks

  28. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Estupinan or Shaw to start is doing my head in. I think Brighton will concede, maybe even twice in both games, so relying on attacking points, when despite his threat, he doesn’t actually get many. Shaw surely has a better cs chance and could be back at LB/WB if Varane starts?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Man it is so tough I posted the same below. I am worried that I might bench Shaw 12 pter again. I did it once and it was really painful.

      On the other hand the reverse fixture between Newcastle and Brighton ended 0:0 so Estupinan might benefit from it

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Yeah it's tough. On Estupinan at the moment purely because he has a double but tempted to switch to Shaw.

    3. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Hi Wild Rover. I've got neither so I'm quite impartial. I would play Shaw and bench Estupinan.

      Whatever you decide good luck

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        That’s where I’m at atm. Cheers all

  29. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Lads please help on my final dilemma.

    Who to play

    Shaw or Estupinan?

    This is really tough for me.

    Glad I didn't go early on Isak. With Rash and Zinc out and Grealish unlikely to play, I'm now Pinnock deep even after a transfer.

      Why do you think Grealish is unlikely to play?

        He'll probably be rested to play 2nd leg CL as Foden can the job in EPL.

        Of course this assumes Pep's thinking is linear.
