Our Members Videos continue with another installment ahead of the Gameweek 5 deadline.

This week, audio and video editor David Munday has pre-recorded the video to allow for South Korea-based Andy, otherwise known as FPL_Sonaldo, to put in a well-past-his-bedtime guest appearance in this exclusive video for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout. 

Staying up until 1am while David was pouring himself his 4pm cup of tea in the UK, Andy goes into the statistical deep dive behind Son Heung-min’s recent hat-trick, what it means for Spurs going forward and whether or not he can be trusted for a Gameweek 5 captaincy.

True to form, Andy currently has the armband on his compatriot and explains why.

The video is available to watch via the embedded link below.

There’s also the Deadline Dilemmas video live at 9pm BST if you’re in the mood for more visual offerings, plus a whole host of other content in the Gameweek 5 playlist.

      Fati seems brave given lack of football and time to get up to speed?

    Salah/Son/Maddison/Saka/Rodrigo
    Haaland/Alvarez//Archer

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

      i would downgrade son to upgrade elsewhere but I suppose you want him don t. maybe go morris instead of rodrigo in 343?

      1. Ian Davis
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not a bad shout, cheers mate. I just can’t see Luton scoring many goals at all..

  6. Pegilagi

    Maddison to Son on a free transfer

    What you think?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No way

    2. BUZZBOMB ♡
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hahaha. World is going mad. Next it'll be Haaland>Haaland for a -4.

      1. tim
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Haha 😀

    3. King Sheep
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nah

  7. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Safe to wait on transferring in Son until tomorrow right? +90 on fplstatistics. I know some rise when under 100 but it's normally a lot closer for that to happen, right?

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you want Son tomorrow night. Its tonight for SHU or wait probably until GW7 depending on what happens, where he plays, this GW.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Tomorrow morning, not night

        1. BUZZBOMB ♡
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Ah ok. Why wait?

          1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Just in case any early news / leaks could change plans (i.e. injuries)

            1. BUZZBOMB ♡
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Spurs game is 4 hours after deadline. Ange says he's fit so Ive gone in tonight. Can't be bothered on a Sat morning. Got life to live.

                Are you captaining him? Have him now too and still undecided.

        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers - how come not archer? Archer gives me cash back to upgrade any mids to Son

        1. Winnerr
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 1 month ago

          just think two i said are much better assets, if you could bench archer I would but not as a starter

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford > Son

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yep a good shout but what's your thoughts behind not owning Rash, could hurt

        1. Freshy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 1 month ago

          One squad is riding high
          One squad is a mess

  14. Winnerr

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Can someone explain if Leno/Kaminski is actually good picks? Because if you just play them in the easy fixtures doesnt that negate the amount of save points you get which is the point of picking the weak defence keepers.

    Considering just going Flekken and ignoring rotation.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      3 years, 1 month ago

      go flekken

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The logic I guess is in the easier games you'd hope for a clean sheet, and in the harder games you hope for clean sheets. But I don't disagree with your logic, I have Leno but I'm well aware that if they concede that it'll probably be a 1-2pter, ironically more likely to get 3/4pters against tougher teams

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        3 years, 1 month ago

        *in the harder games you'd hope for save points. Sorry been a long day 😛

  15. Ohh1454
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start Onana or Turner ?

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Turner

  16. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on bringing Rashford or Bruno in?
    Despite the fixtures, are Utd a no go at the moment?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think holding is fine but yeah, wouldn't buy now

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Any alternatives? Thinking Odegaard, or maybe Diaz if he's leaked to start

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      United are a mess

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I agree, but not many midfielders stand out now

        1. Ze_Austin
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Salah, Son, Saka, Maddison, Mbeumo, Diaby, Sterling, Foden, Brighton?

          1. Ze_Austin
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I'm finding it difficult to pick just 5 without chopping and changing weekly

    3. BUZZBOMB ♡
      3 years, 1 month ago

      FCDO advice is to avoid Manchester at the present time unless its somewhere with an A and an L its name

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        FCDO?

    Estupinan to…

    A - Zinchenko
    B - Cash
    C - Udogie
    D - Schar

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      3 years, 1 month ago

      keep but c if u must

      1. boroie
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Reason is to make money so that I can swap Odegaard for Son. Which is the better move to make cash for Son…

        A - Estupinan -> Zinchenko/Cash/Udogie (would start)
        B - Joao Pedro -> Archer (would be bench)

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      step away from the computer

  18. boroie
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which is better…?

    A - Odegaard -> Maddison for free

    B - Estupinan & Odegaard -> Zinchenko & Son for -4?

  20. Make FPL Casual Again
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Liv supporters or knowledgeable fans...

    Good chance that Diaz doesnt start given he didn't attend training on Fri ?

    1. Make FPL Casual Again
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Did Klopp say anything or will there be embargoed conf notes released?

      1. Ze_Austin
        3 years, 1 month ago

        See the team news article. Alisson is in the same category

        I think both should be fine. Just a matter of where Jota and Gakpo fit into all this, as I don't think they'll remain benched for long

        1. Make FPL Casual Again
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Just saw that...

          Late return from long haul...scout doesnt have him starting..

          Might just transfer him out for Son..probably wont be available for leaks, if any

          1. Make FPL Casual Again
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Why wouldnt Klopp just start Gakpo/Jota in easy fixture

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Though I am guessing not too many changes.

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            3 years, 1 month ago

            what do you mean? compared to my original team. yes, quite a few

            1. Fulchester's New Centr…
              3 years, 1 month ago

              OK. Just thought it looked pretty templatey except maybe Allison and perhaps Momo.

              1. Ajax Hamsterdam
                3 years, 1 month ago

                dont have cash mbeumo awo udogie and allison.

                I had pickford.....

                1. Fulchester's New Centr…
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  Good WC then. I still have Pickford.

    3. FantasyFootballMad
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t know about turner long term. Plus just heard his wife had a baby today so although he will be able to play he might not have been training. And think they just bought another dude end of the window. On a WC I don’t think it’s worth the risk with turner when areola is gutanteed starter now

      1. FantasyFootballMad
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Also honestly don’t like the back line.

        You’ll want Newcastle coverage from next week probably. Estu fixtures turning so maybe you swap him but with nakamba as bench fodder too you are leaving yourself pretty exposed if you get just one injury or absence. Alvarez for example could get dropped in one of the next few with UCL etc so then you’re down to potential fodder straight away.

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          3 years, 1 month ago

          thanks a lot 🙂 turner is just for the bench would play allison every game

      1. boroie

        Surely you’d want to keep Onana for their upcoming fixture list. Good chance of clean sheets in 7 of their next 8 after the Brighton game?

          Like Son, but think Estupinan still better than Cash whose stats are warped by his games OOP.

          1. OptimusBlack
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Okay keep Estubnian and Sell Rúben Dias ?

      No

  27. NZREDS
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Pedro likely to start? Completely stumped with what to do with my 2 FT transfers. Having Salah has limited my options in swapping Pedro out. Was considering WC to upgrade my horrid bench but might hold.

    Onana (Turner)
    Saliba Chillwell Estupinan (Kabore Baldock)
    Rashford Eze Mitoma Saka Salah
    Pedro Haaland (Mubama)

    Was thinking:
    A) Rashford -> Son and save 1 FT
    B) Rashford + Pedro -> Maddison + Alvarez

    Will Alvarez start? Don’t wanna do B and be in the same position as if Pedro doesn’t start!

    Thanks for any thoughts in advance!

    1. boroie
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn’t get rid of Rashford with their upcoming fixture list.

      Could just go really boring and swap Mubama for Archer…?

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Archer in for Pedro and upgrade 4th def?

      1. FantasyFootballMad
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Agree with this. Upgrade to Udogie

      Got to sell Chuka he’s a waste of money in that mid, too many good options to leave that spot wasted

      “The dichotomy for the modern player lies in the tension between the needs of the team and the ambition of the individual. Do I strike the ball or does the ball strike what I perceive to be me?

    Massive bench dilemma. Need help

    Saka Ode Madds Foden Mbeumo
    Haaland Jackson Alvarez

    Have to bench one of these. Currently leaning on either foden or Alvarez as can’t see a big score win against WH this week and having 3 attackers from city feels overkill.

    Who to bench??

        Honestly don’t know how this happened… what a mess. Benched Alvarez last week too and he got 12. And benched foden when he destroyed Newcastle for 9. Can’t catch a break
