Our Members Videos continue with another installment ahead of the Gameweek 16 deadline.

This week, Scoutcaster and Hall of Fame #16 Seb Wassell is joined by David Munday for a live stream.

As every man and his dog flocked now feels forced to sell Bryan Mbeumo (£7.1m), David and Seb take a look at what the Members Area can tell us about the upcoming Gameweek.

They also go over their latest plans, with Seb considering finally bringing Erling Haaland (£14.0m) back into his team.

They are also on hand to help you with any of your own dilemmas.

The video is available to watch at 8:15pm UK time 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 16 playlist.

  1. oi no professionals
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I like football

  2. F4L
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    better rule change?

    A - 2FTs per GW
    B - Can have 4 players from one team

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Any rationale behind these changes?

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        for A its primarily the amount of injuries nowadays. B more to do with how cheap all the players from the top 6-8 teams are now compared to 2-3+ years ago.

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Ok, then A.

    2. SUPERMAN
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Like A. I like the idea of half points from bench.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        half points from bench would be interesting, would completely change how to play the game. tbh if that happened you'd probably need 2FTs a week, bad enough keeping 11 fit atm lol

        1. SUPERMAN
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Ha. Know what you mean. Would also reduce the amount of ‘lucky’ points from
          the bench. I know it’s a squad game but some of the luck some people have is unreal. 🙂

  3. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    How many hits should I take to replace these players?
    Areola, Cash, Diaby
    1 FT and 2.9 itb

    1. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Archer is the only bench player I have

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      there'll be a lack of CS this GW so areola/cash not too much of an issue. replace diaby

      1. OverTinker
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        problem is if cash doesn't play then i willl be playing 10 players. Archer can come for Diaby

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

      Why Diaby?

  4. Urban Cowboy.
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Not overly confident in points from my back 4 this week.
    Dubravka
    Saliba Porro Schar

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      20 points.

      2 each for Dubravka and Schär.
      10 for Porro.
      6 for Saliba.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Saliba CS at Villa!?

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Yes, all streaks come to an end

          1. CHICKENDINNER3000
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            love it

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

      Maguire on my bench got 5 points, which is also the combined total of all my other defenders and goalkeepers last week.
      I am never confident of points from my back 4.

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

    Alvarez + Diaby -> Bowen & Semenyo (bench rotation)?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      looks decent

  6. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Saka to Sterling punt in 17?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      nah saka goes nowhere. ticking over when underperforming in an unsettled arsenal attack, when both click he could easily explode

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

        Underperforming? The guy's got 19g/a in all comps already this season (in like 20 games).

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I have more trust in Chris Wilders magic than Brightons defence.

    3. XX SMICER XX
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling could be a good asset with those fixtures.
      Do worry about rotation with players coming back from injury

  7. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Many Son sellers?
    Even if he misses this GW then that’s the one you want him to miss tbh.
    Then some juicy fixtures coming up!

    1. XX SMICER XX
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Holding as other fires to put out

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty sure they will patch him up for this game. Didnt seem too bad in the post match interview

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        He was in pain imo

    3. FPL Alaska
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ya I don't see it being worth a hit if you have a playable bench.

  8. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Livra or Pau?

    1. XX SMICER XX
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      This week or long term?
      Livra for me but both good assets

  9. XX SMICER XX
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on Cash & Mbuemo to James & Foden for -4?

    Team would be

    Dubravka
    James Lascelles Gabriel
    Salah Son Saka Foden Gibbs-White
    Haaland (c) Nunez

    Areola Branthwaite Guehi Mubama

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Not gonna lie, that's horrible

      1. XX SMICER XX
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Team, transfers or both?

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Transfers x

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Porro & Bowen.

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

      Not sure why you want James. We know he has ongoing knee issues and therefore Poch said minutes would have to be well managed so he will not start all games in busy schedule- and sounds like Gusto may be back. Would rather Porro or another Chelsea defender such as Colwill

      May be better to take out Guehi as Cash could be useful in 18.

      Think Foden ok but better options such as Palmer, Bowen more nailed over busy schedule

      Sorry!

    4. XX SMICER XX
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks all

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

    Anyone else not convinced by any of the Mbeumo replacements? Already have Palmer. I'm tempted to delay the decision and just play Archer this week.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      What more could Bowen do to convince you?

    2. FPL Alaska
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Gordon or Bowen for me

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Both Bowen and Hwang are good enough.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        One week scouting not needed atm. We have data for > 10 weeks.

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

        Bowen too expensive for me.

        Hwang on 4 yellows and going to the Asian Cup in January.

  11. WVA
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Final decision, start Gabriel or Udogie?

    Sanchez
    Trippier Tsimikas ??????
    Salah Saka Bowen Hwang Palmer
    Haaland Watkins
    Turner ?????? Taylor Archer

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Gabriel

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Gabriel, 0% chance of a CS at Villa and I have Watkins?

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Then why ask?

          1. WVA
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            It's a conversation and a further question...

            1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Ok then. I think Arsenal will keep a CS.

              1. Royal5
                • 14 Years
                2 years, 2 months ago

                Never

              2. WVA
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 2 months ago

                Ok cheers mate, enjoy your weekend

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Udogie

      Newcastle look tired

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Think I agree

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      udogie

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I have those 2 and Id go Gab. Udogiie is a pain to own and watch. Long way forward but never looks like doing anything when there. And will likely get 5 yellow in this game.

    5. XX SMICER XX
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Coin toss, I see both conceding. Udogie probably has more attacking threat

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah agree

  12. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Nketiah to Maupay
    Mbeumo to Foden

    or

    Diaby to Hwang
    Mbeumo to Foden

    What you think

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn’t get Foden this GW unless you have a mega bench

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        What about Andersen to James and Mbeumo to Hwang

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Hwang is a good pick. If you can muster the patience for James the sure. I have given up on him.

          1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            *then

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      you think pep puts foden in the middle?

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        He might twist his set up a bit. But God knows what'll do, my guess is that he plays Alvarez alongside Haaland up top and with more flair in the middle. Like with Bilva and Rodri in the middle of the park with Foden/Grealish on either side. 4-2-4, or 4-1-4-1, 4-2-2-2.

  13. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Play 2 defenders:

    A. Gabriel (avl)

    B. Tarkowski (CHE)

    C. Cash (ARS)

    D. Robinson (WHU)

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

  15. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Greetings all!!

    Pick 2 to start from each section!!

    Other defenders starting are Trippier and Tsmikas

    A- Saliba(Villa away)
    Or
    B- Maguire(Bournemouth home)

    1- Raya(Villa away)
    Or
    2- Dubravka(Spurs away)

    Thoughts appreciated!!

    Have been on B1 since I set my bus team to spread the risk, stick with B1??

    Cheers everyone!!

    1. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      You can't play 2 keepers

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Oops sorry pick 1 to start from each section meant to say haha

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

      B1

        Thankyou mate!! Think I’m set too!!

  16. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Johnstone to Sanchez for a hit ?

    Palace has Liverpool then City, while Chelsea fixtures look decent going forward

    1. KirkhamWesham
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'd never do a keeper transfer for a hit.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Chelsea defence looked bad and MU created xG >4. They scored only 2 though, but are they a good team now? The biggest risk is that Johnstone hauls vs MCI. I don't think I would.

  17. Heavy Cream
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Draft Question…..

    I have to ditch Mbeumo. Options are;
    - Johnson or Lo Celso
    - Iwobi or McNeil
    - Olise
    - Havertz
    - Douglas Luiz but I have Diaby

    Any help hugely appreciated!

  18. KirkhamWesham
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Decided to keep Son. I can cover a 1GW absence.

    This leads to Porro being my 2nd transfer this gw.
    Which defender should he replace?

    Sanchez
    Gabriel Tsimikas Branthwaite
    Saka Gordon Salah Palmer Son
    Darwin Haaland

    Turner Archer Lascelles Taylor

    2.6m itb
    1ft

  19. Konstaapeli
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Cahs to James or Colwill? Rank is over 2mil so might as well burn my season with James right?

    1. KirkhamWesham
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Colwill

    2. DMP
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I went James 2 GWs ago. lol

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      You need jam. James is still more attacking and on his day he could start, assist or score and be subbed off before Che concede. If I were you, I'd just go for it.

  20. Opurist
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Salah-Son-Foden-Bowen
    Haaland-Watkins-Alvarez

    G2G front seven? 2FT

  21. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth a hit to fix GK if I'm on Areola and Turner?

    Already transferred Mbeumo and also have Diaby to get rid of. Don't really fancy -8

    Sorry repost from old article

    1. KirkhamWesham
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No. Play Areola this week.

  22. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Fairly set on getting Sanchez. The question is, sell Areola or keep him to maybe play GWs 21&22 WH having favourable fixtures?

    1. KirkhamWesham
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Sell if its for free.
      Areola has given us nothing, even in so-called "great" fixtures.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez home v Fulham 21, I'm not even convinced Areola gets his spot back, been awful

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers guys

  23. DMP
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Do you reckon that Garnacho is nailed?

    1. KirkhamWesham
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Nope

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      not nailed but will start tomorrow with rashford struggling with illness

      but its his spot to lose, if rashford is given a chance more likely he comes in at rw

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Not nailed but Man Utd look more lively with him playing compared to Rashford.

  24. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Would you prefer

    A. Trippier (tot) -4
    B. Taylor (bri)

    1. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      probably Taylor for the fact I see them both getting 1 or 2

    2. KirkhamWesham
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Not Trippier this gw. Spurs will score.
      Newcastle look shattered, especially Trippier. They still have a fixture backlog.
      Trippier is also on 4 yellows.

      Porro is the better pick, imo.

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      B

  25. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    who 1 would you bench out of:

    Gabriel Saliba Tsmikas Pinnock
    Solanke

    Currently on Gabriel.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yep also benching Gab

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      saliba

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        think Gabriel is more threat?

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          0 goals 0 assists, more threat of being benched?
