GoalScorer Challenge

Fantasy Football Scout have once again teamed up with the popular GoalScorer Challenge competition this season.

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. There are no Double Gameweeks in this game but midweek games are generally included in a separate Gameweek.
  • International – During international breaks, you still have to pick a Premier League player, but for their country. This season includes six international weeks.
  • 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.

  3. RohanVaswani
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 22 days ago

    A) Pedro Salah Anderson

    Or

    B) Watkins Martinelli 6.5

    1. krawiecus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      Does Anderson need to play? If so, B, if not, A. Also

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      Come on man . A is silly

  4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 22 days ago

    Imagine if the 6.5 mids all starts firing + Kane leaves and Richarlison becomes nailed CF + Bowen starts firing.

    You could have a very high scoring five man midfield for 33,5m.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      I’d rather imagine Ana de Armas bringing me breakfast in the jacuzzi

  5. lilmessipran
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 22 days ago

    Fairly settled with my squad overall, just a few pieces left to confirm.. which option looks best to start with?

    A Taa+Wissa
    B Chillwell + Watkins +0.5
    C Stones + Watkins + 0.5

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      C

    2. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      C, B, A

    3. krawiecus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      B no question

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      D Chilwell or Stones + Wissa

    5. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      Cheers everyone

  6. The Wheeler Dealer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 22 days ago

    Is everyone just expecting de bruyne not to play then? Seems very well priced at 10.5 and could be a perfectly good option over Salah, allowing you to still get a good second striker and not field any dodgy rotation possibilities (I'm looking at you João Pedro)

    Pickford
    Gabriel Estupinan Tarkowski (cash Beyer)
    Kdb martinelli saka Bruno Mitoma
    Haaland Watkins (archer)

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      Too much of a risk as Man City has the squad depth to not having to risk rushing him back.

    2. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      Not for me. Foden could be a legit option this season for 3m less. Grealish also. Im keeping an eye on Silva myself

    3. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      I think KDB as a differential is probably as good as you’re going to get.

      But will he play or be eased back in? That’s the risk/reward…

    4. Gross Blank Point
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      He's in my no Haaland draft, just waiting to see.

  7. Bee Keeper
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 22 days ago

    RMT . . . Thanks before the whistle blows!

    Onana / Flekken
    Chilwell, Shaw, Estupinan/ Tarko, Henry
    Bruno, Martinelli, Maddison, Diaby/ 6.5
    Haaland, Watkins / J. Alveraz

    Also, a.) Mitoma or b.) Eze for the (6.5)

    Cheers . . .

    1. The Wheeler Dealer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      Shouldn't have that much money tied up in goalies imo, rotating keepers never works. Mitoma for the 6.5, quite a balsy double differential of Maddison and diaby so would stick to the guy with great fixtures

    2. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      I’m not sure bout Maddison. I was on him for a while but hasn’t done much in preseason albeit he’s in a new team, new system etc but I think he’s one to watch. For your other 6.5 I’d say Mitoma but I’m keeping an eye on Bernardo Silva in the community shield

    3. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      Yeah true too much $ on GK

    4. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      I’d say max 9m on GK.

      1. Bee Keeper
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 22 days ago

        Good stuff . . . Thanks again!

      RMD …. Rate my disinterest

  8. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 22 days ago

    How deep is your bench to start the season?

    0) All fodder (cheapest available in each spot)
    1) 4.5M defender usually benched + fodder
    2) 12 starters in rotation
    3) 13 starters in rotation
    4) BB squad or 14/15 in rotation

    1. Harold99
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      2 (Chilwell)

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      0) all fodder. But have 1-1.5 itb

      1. SmasherLagru

        3 years, 22 days ago

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      How deep is your love?

    4. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      How deep is your bench? How deep is - your - bench?
      I really mean to learn
      'Cause I'm playing with a bunch of fools
      Who keep breakin' down

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 22 days ago

        None of the above. 3 fodder and one 4.5 defender, but he's to be rotated in and out regularly.

        1. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 22 days ago

          That's #2 🙂

          1. Andy_Social
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 22 days ago

            It isn't - he won't be "usually benched". In my planner he's due to start 6 of the first 10.

            1. Sheffield Wednesday
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 22 days ago

              "Usually benched" is option #1. If he starts in rotation then it's #2 (12 in rotation). It doesn't matter if you don't understand the options as I understand where your answer belongs, thanks.

              1. Sheffield Wednesday
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 22 days ago

                Don't forget there's an option #0, so go by the label of each option, not the count.

                1. Andy_Social
                  • 14 Years
                  3 years, 22 days ago

                  All I can say is my strategy doesn't fit the usual cliches I see around here, so it's probably best I stay out of such threads.

  9. Harold99
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 22 days ago

    Not sure on which option

    A) Rashford and Stones
    B) Mbuemo and TAA

    1. The Wheeler Dealer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      A

    2. krawiecus
      • 5 Years

      B esp with Hojlund

    Alright this is my current squad and I will go to bed now, starting to think this is quite strong:
    Pickford (areola)
    Gabriel estupinan Tarkowski (pinnock better)
    Salah saka martinelli Mitoma Mbeumo
    Haaland Watkins (semenyo)

  11. tom66
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 22 days ago

    Taking a punt on Luis Diaz. Fingers crossed he starts......

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      He’d be the one I punted on too.

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      He’ll start. I expect Chelsea to be quite good though.

      1. tom66
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 22 days ago

        Toss up between Diaz and Jota I guess.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 22 days ago

          Oh I actually have Jota, instead of bruno basically. Not sure about it

        2. Bushwhacker
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 22 days ago

          No I don’t think so. Diaz was the starter until he got injured, same will apply this year.

    3. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 22 days ago

      He was in my first draft but have started having doubts. Be a very good punt.

    Do prices change before GW2 based on ownership % at start of season, or based just on transferred in/out after gw1 games are played? Thx

    Which of these 6.5's will score most points over the first 8 GW's... (1 is best, 2 2nd best etc) The expected points algorythm puts Mbuemo ist and Bernado 7th...

    1. Mbuemo 29.1

    3. Mitoma 27.1
    4. Eze 25.1

      Looks like a winner to me mate.

    What’s happened to Trent? Was in every draft on here, now seemingly very few?

      I think 3 reasons:
      He hasn't overly impressed in preseason
      Liverpool's defence still looks shonky
      In Slobby and Mac A, Liverpool have 2 creative assets ahead of him in midfield so the team is less dependent on his passing.

        Thank you for your reply, haven’t paid much attention to their pre season but your point on the creative mids makes a lot of sense.

        Guess he’s less likely to be in that midfield position we saw last year…hmm lots to consider!

      Early bird price reveals create an interest in a handful of players initially, then after a few weeks of pre-season a more measured selection emerges.

    Who are the two best 4.5m defender options? They will need to be in my team for the first four game weeks.

    Also, who should be dropped from this midfield in order to improve the defence?
    Salah, Foden, Rashford, Martinelli, Saka

    Thanks

      Pau and Tarkowski give you:

      Fulham H
      Everton H
      Wolves H

    Current draft:

    Johnstone(/Pickford/Steele)
    Chilwell - Gabriel - Estupinan - Tarkowski
    Salah - Rashford - Saka - Foden - Mbeumo(/Eze)
    Haaland

    4.0 (Turner?) - Cash(/Colwill/Udogie) - 4.5 - 4.5

    Planning to cap Mo in gw2 and then move him and a 4.5 fwd to maybe Son/Bruno+Nkunku/Jesus/Watkins. Been on 3-4-3 with NoMo until the injuries for Jesus and Nkunku forced me to tinker a bit. Capping a relatively low owned Salah on gw2 just feels like a massive opportinity.

    Thoughts appreciated. Anyone else considering something similar?

      Was the same but now have Pickford and Baldock instead of Johnstone and Tark leaving 0.5m ITB (or to spend on a 5.0m forward sub), without that we are likely to be priced out of the Salah & 4.5m (or 5.0 sub) to Son and Watkins (or Jesus) move.

        Good point. Thanks!

    Currently on a 451 with a 4.5 defender as sub.

    Happy with it, but at the same time feels boring and at some point would probably want another striker or 2.

    I guess that's what the WC is for
