Our Members Videos continue with another installment ahead of the Gameweek 12 deadline.

This week, it’s a Scoutcast special as Andy North and Seb Wassell drop in for a live stream.

It has been a rough week for FPL managers dealing not only with a disastrous Gameweek 11, but also a slew of injury flags throughout the past few days.

Andy and Seb go over their latest plans and are also on hand to help you with any of your dilemmas too.

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

There was also a live Q&A earlier today if you’re in the mood for more visual offerings, plus a whole host of other content in the Gameweek 12 playlist.

      • 3 Years

      Why are you sweating on Diaby this week? He is at home to Fulham..

  3. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else have Tsimikas and Saka and no playing bench?

    Worth a hit for something like Gusto-> Lascelles, so I have cover? Maybe even bench Tsimikas for Lascelles?

    1. CRAZY TRAIN
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, with Taylor my only option off the bench so similar dilemma (below).

    2. tim
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I did Kabore Lascalles, have Tsimi and he is on my bench.

      Starting Saka.

      Taylor is my last backup.

    3. Intinny
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Had exact same issue and got Lascelles in as first sub

  4. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Areola
    Porro Tsimikas Cash
    Salah Son Maddison Bowen Palmer
    Haaland Watkins

    Turner Archer Taylor Lamptey

    1FT, 0.6itb

    What to do here:

    1. Maddison >> Fernandes
    2. Maddison >> Mbeumo
    3. Maddison >> Gordon
    4. Lamptey Maddison >> Mbeumo Livramento [-4]
    5. Something else?

    Thanks

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mitoma?

    2. Boz

      Martinelli

      1. FCSB
        • 10 Years

        Not really bringing in the points is he

  5. CRAZY TRAIN
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Lamptey > Lascelles guys?

    Tsimikas Saka Chuk and Lamptey in my team leaving me a bit exposed this gw.

    Yes or no?

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Y

    2. Boz
      • 13 Years

      Yeah if free

      1. CRAZY TRAIN
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks guys, wanted to carry the FT over the ib but agree think it needs to be done.

  6. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Maddison out...

    Johnstone
    Trippier Andersen Cash
    Salah Son Maddison** Bowen Mbeumo
    Haaland Álvarez
    : Areola Lascelles Archer Gusto £0.1m 0FT

    Is any midfield option up to £7.9m worth a hit this week?

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Just play Lascelles then and ignore impending price rise on Gordon/Martinelli/Luiz

  7. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hot take - both Saka and Tsimikas will start and everyone is worried over nothing

    1. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nah Head in the sand!?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        They will start. No need to worry my friend.

        1. Make FPL Casual Again
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Rationale?

          Can see Saka starting, as theres a history of this...but, he us picking up a lot of knocks and performances are dipping...

          Tsimi surely a risk vs set piece fond Brentford ?

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Saka will start because it's Saka and he always starts unless he's dead.

            Tsimikas is indeed a risk. But Brentford set up in a low block away from home and Tsimikas is better suited to that. I also believe Tsimikas HT sub was preplanned midweek and not based upon his performance whatsoever.

            1. Make FPL Casual Again
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Good points, though at what point does Arteta decide to rest Saka in easier games given the constant knocks

              Interesting re Tsimikas. He *was* dropped vs LUT though...another low block side

              1. Bubz
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Saka just doesn't get rested. There's literally no evidence of it happening. He even subs other players off before him constantly, despite knowing that Saka is carrying knocks and niggles. I don't see why this would change tomorrow (Arteta won't take Burnley lightly despite their poor results).

                I just think Gomez playing was a tactical decision for that one game (Klopp even explicitly said this). Playing away from home is very different to Anfield, I think he'll be more comfortable playing Tsimi at Anfield.

            2. I Member
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              You think Klopp would've brought Salah, Szobo and TAA on at half time if Liverpool were winning?

              1. Bubz
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Yeah. He brought on Diaz, Mac Allister and Jones on at half time vs Royal Union when they were winning.

    2. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Saka missed the game before the international break before and the game was v city..

      Saying that I think he’ll start

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah but that was an actual muscular injury and he physically couldn't play

    3. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I feel confident about Saka starting as arteta always does this

      Pretends he's injured when he's likely to start like versus Bournemouth
      When he's injured pretends he's in contention to play like versus city

      Tsimi not sure about

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, and he's very clever with his words. Like saying that Saka didn't train yesterday... he probably wouldn't have trained the day after a European match regardless.

        1. Shultan
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Exactly the fact that he said he's not trained yesterday means he wants people to think he won't play which means he is playing

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            The only thing that makes me think he may not play, is just so he doesn't go away on internationals and can rest, which Arteta would no doubt like.

    4. Bezz82
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think he’s playing games with Saka… won’t play him so he gets a two week rest

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I just said that above yeah, that's the only thing that might make him not play

  8. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else fancy Bruno for Captain this week?

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes he’s an option I’m considering if I bring him in. It’s a week to go against the grain imo

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I fancy Luton to get a result and signal the end for Ten Haag

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks chaps for the opposing views!?

    3. Intinny
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I've gone for him. They will bang a few goals in or ETH will go. I like the punt

    4. Mainoo Magic
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No!!!

    5. El_Matador
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He is suspended

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ah sorry! Fernandez!

        1. El_Matador
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Oh, forgot about rat boy. Suppose it would be different

  9. n-doggg
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Play one

    A. Ward (EVE)
    B. Lascelles (bou)

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      find a coin

    2. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years

      A

  10. DagheMunegu
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Maddison to Saka and Archer first sub in case Saka misses out ?

    1. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Got Bowen?

    2. Boz
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't be bringing Saka in

      1. Saka Punch
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He's with the squad just fyi

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Do it

    4. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah

  11. Boz
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Yah or nah? 2fts

    Saka and Tsimi to Bowen and Saliba.

    Got McAtee, Branthwaite and Taylor on the bench

    1. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Losing Saka could hurt but transfers look good

    2. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldnt sell Saka

  12. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who do you think is best Tsimikas replacement? Will burn a transfer otherwise.

    A. Lascelles
    B. Mitchell
    C. Guehi
    D. Livra
    E. Other (4.8 to spend)

    Other defenders are Trippier, Gabriel, Cash & Taylor

    1. Boz
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A if he's on your bench most weeks

    2. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      All good. I’d probably hold as if you sell he’ll probably haul

    3. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks, think he needs to go.

  13. thewhitepele
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Got 2ft and 0m itb:
    Areola (Sanchez)
    Dias Cash Gabriel (Botman Udogie)
    Son Saka Maddi Foden Mbeumo
    Haaland Watkins (Semenyo)

    A) Maddi —> Bowen
    B) Maddi, Botman —> Bowen, Lascelles
    C) Dias, Botman —> Mitchell, Lascelles
    D) Something else? Any ideas appreciated!

    1. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A or B

    2. Boz
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Maddison needs to go so a or b

      1. thewhitepele
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers, might as well do B to get some bench cover

  14. Drexl Spivey
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I'm not trying to be cheeky or anything, but the Andy + Seb thing is in no way tempting me to part with my cash at this point. Sorry.

  15. Saka Punch
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    If news come out that Saka is starting:

    A) Saka
    B) Bowen

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

  16. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Was just looking at some of the teams at the top & this guy at number 6 has triple utd & most of season had double utd & no haaland!

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/27579/event/11

    1. TBL
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      yeah it goes to show you should go with what you think and not worry too much - I was very tempted to bring in Fernandes for Luton, he has a tendency to bully weaker teams but struggle against better oppositions. I went Martinelli as he's playing well at the moment (probably wouldn't have if I just looked at previous points but it should remain a fun game, no harm done if you don't get it right)

  17. mcsteely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    So many mids, who to get:

    Fernandes
    Martinelli
    Mitoma
    Gordon
    Mbuemo

    1. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mitoma has best fixture this week
      I was bit worried about him not starting but others have pointed out he's only missed out once & even then scored twice off bench

    2. Cheeky Reijnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If I had a mid that needed transferring (e.g. Maddison) and had Mitoma or Gordon or Bowen, for example, I'd be seriously looking at Utd, for 2 GWs anyway.

  18. The Pep Revolution
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which of these do you prefer:

    A. Saka and Burn to Gordon and Trippier for a 4 point hit

    B. Burn to Lascelles

    Current team is
    Turner Areola
    Tsimikas Cash Burn Udogie Kabore
    Salah Son Hee Chan Bowen Saka
    Haaland Watkins Archer

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn’t sell Saka, especially it for a hit

    2. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Burn to lascelles looks good

    3. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't sell saka unless 100% confirmed out especially for a hit as could backfire

      So just burn out for now

    4. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Saka will play.

    5. The Pep Revolution
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks.

  19. Yes Ndidi
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Areola
    Trip Mitchell Tsimi
    Son Bowen Gordon Salah
    Nketiah Haaland Alvarez

    Leno Taylor Gusto Maddison

    Already used FT bringing Mitchell in, and have the grand sum of 0.1ITB
    Maddy is the obvious one to deal with, but I'm more inclined to do Gusto > Lascelles for a -4 to cover a Tsimi or Eddie no-show and deal with Maddy before the next GW.
    1. Sensible?
    2. Or is it not worth it and just go with what I've got?
    3. Deal with Maddy now instead?

    1. El_Matador
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You need rid of Maddison as, his price will plummet but don't take a hit. It's like giving away a clean sheet pr a goal.

    2. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      2
      then get rid of get rid of maddi & Gusto for hit in IB as tsimikas got city away in GW13

  20. El_Matador
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Areola

    Trippier Guehi Gabriel
    Mbemo Salah Diaz Maddison* Diaby
    Alvarez Haaland

    Turner Cash Taylor Mubama

    2FT 0.6ITB

    Maddison>Gordon seems the obvious shout and roll the other FT, especially with the IB.

    Would appreciate any other ideas. Tia

    1. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Think I prefer an Arsenal mid for this week but Gordon better long term pick

      1. El_Matador
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Would be adding Saka to the mix but once again when I can, he is a doubt. He has a penchant for that

  21. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Udogie & Son to Baldock & Salah (c) -4 done.

    Am I mental?

    1. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don't get rid of son for a hit

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        The deed is done.

        1. Shultan
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Ah thought you were asking lol not saying its done!

          1. _Freddo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Think it’s a stupid move? Thinking more 5/6 weeks than 1, was losing Spurs after Villa but all the injuries & suspensions just sped it up, think they’ll struggle now.

            1. Shultan
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Don't think it's totally crazy as maddison injury will impact spurs creativity so impacting Son

    2. Cheeky Reijnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not at all. Very uncertain times at Spurs and Salah, well, must have I think. Took a hit last GW to get him myself.

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks lads (or ladies) I haven’t been convinced by Spurs so much, feels like they scraped through a lot of games and their fixs stiffen now, throw in the injuries/suspensions & maybe it’s time to get ahead of the game (or try) & get off.

  22. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Best Brighton mid for GW12?

    1. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mitoma

  23. il Brutto
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which one would you bench?

    A) Cash
    B) Livramento

    I’ve got a team I’m otherwise happy about. Is it with moving Saka out on the basis of possible injury?

      If I had him I would keep him

      He’s at the team hotel, he’ll start, it was only a kick.

      He’s a tough lad, City was different, that was muscular.

      A safer/cheaper B more upside-it’s a tough one. Is Burn or Botman expected out longer?

      1. Redranger
        • 11 Years

        I don’t even know when Botman is expected back. I think I’ll go Livra as he’s more exciting

    To buy bruno or martinelli?

      United fan and still don’t trust our players so I’d go Martinelli. Think Saka plays so if you can get him I still would

      Martinelli. Bruno's on 4 yellows too.
