Our Members Videos continue with another installment ahead of the Gameweek 17 deadline.

This week, Scoutcaster Andy North is joined by Chris James for a live stream.

In the week when everyone is thinking of shipping Erling Haaland (£14.0m), Chris has already pulled the trigger.

He’s also considering putting the captain’s armband on Son Heung-min (£9.6m) ahead of Spurs’s Friday night trip to Nottingham Forest.

But Andy and Chris 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 on Friday if you’re in the mood for more visual offerings, plus a whole host of other content in the Gameweek 17 playlist.

      NO! Give us options to choose from you lazy b@stard!

      1. FantasyFooty01
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        I’m asking about options lad that I’m not thinking of. Give us one.

        1. My heart goes Salalalalah
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          Wtf are the options you're considering lad?

        *Grabs popcorn*

    2. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Solanke on the bench? Garnacho starting?

      Swap those two, then sell the guy you own from Man U, and don't buy him again 😀

      1. FantasyFooty01
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Could be goals on Sunday though and with Haaland out could be needed

        1. Salarrivederci
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          Ye I guess Solanke is safely coming in.

          Still for the 1% risk I would never bench him ahead of Garnacho. And play Udogie over Garnacho too.

        😆 😆 😆

        There's a bicycle screamer incoming...

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Don!t bench Solanke or Udogie for one...

  2. Zilla42
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Play Dubravka (FUL) or Martinez (bre)?

    Thank you for your insights.

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Martinez I think, because as good as Newcastle are at home, Fulham have scored 10 goals in their last two games. It's a tough decision though.

      1. Zilla42
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Thank you for responding. I'm leaning towards Martinez as well, but it's close.

  3. dansmith1985

    Is Areola playing this week we think?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      yea

    2. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Yup, enjoy the 1 or 2 points

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Saves a transfer.

      2. noissimbus
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        I have Dubravka now to enjoy those 1 or 2 points, sorry.

  4. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Will haaland start tomorrow?

    A) Not sure
    B) I dunno

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      the guy who leaked it after the deadline last week, said he will have a concrete update tomorrow b4 deadline.

    2. Big Ronnie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      I can guarantee he won't.

      They play on Saturday.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        well he got flamed a lot. So I guess he will, or more flames lmao

        personally, I would have been like "screw you guys, I wont say anything" 😀

  5. FPLMACKEM

    Dubravka
    Saliba, Gabriel, Tsimikas
    Salah (c), Saka, Son, Gordon, Palmer
    Haaland, Watkins

    Areola, Archer, Guehi, Taylor

    1ft 1.3 itb

    A Guehi to Porro
    B Haaland to Solanke
    C Both for a -4

  6. DagheMunegu
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    A

  7. DagheMunegu
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    What to do guys ? 1 FT 0.4 itb 36k WC in hands

    Pickford
    Porro Gabriel Lascelles
    Salah Son Saka Martinelli Palmer
    Haaland Alvarez

    Kelleher Archer James Branthwaite

    James out to maybe Pau ?

    Then Haaland Alvarez out for Watkins Solanke/Isak for -4 in gw 18 ?
    Then WC 19 or 20 ?

    1. Cheese Crunch
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      why not do Haaland to Solanke/Watkins transfer in GW18, then Alvarez to either in 19

    2. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Why not WC right now? Few GW’s left to jan

    3. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Haaland and James to Solanke/Watkins and TAA (-4) this GW.
      Much better to take the hit now and not rely on Archer than to take the hit next GW.
      Then WC 20 Haaland in, fix the Squad (afcon/asia)
      Kind Regards

  8. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    This has to be WC worthy eh?

    Onana,Areola
    Saliba,Tsimikas,Trippier,Cash,Beyer

    Haaland,Darwin,Jesus

    1. Ibralicious
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Probably. Just slightly worse than mine. Mine sucks and I wish I had a WC

    2. F4L
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      probably considering so little time left to use it. would you sell Haaland/Tripps?

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Prolly yea, with a plan to get them back in

  9. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Currently on 9 starters. Solanke rising tonight, and Porro soon after. Haaland all but confirmed out. Best move?

    A) Haaland —> Solanke (FT)
    B) Haaland —> Watkins (FT)
    C) Haaland + Lamptey —> Solanke + Porro (-4) (11 Starters)
    D) Haaland + Lamptey —> Watkins + Porro (-4) (11 Starters)

    Sanchez
    Saliba - Tsimikas
    Salah - Son - Gordon - Palmer
    Darwin - Alvarez

    (Turner) - (Haaland* - Trippier* - Taylor* - Anderson* - Lamptey*) - 1FT - 1.4 ITB

    1. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Where has Haaland all but confirmed out come from?

      1. Ibralicious
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        From the nature of a bone stress injury. That's the kind of injury that becomes a stress fracture at the blink of an eye— it’s an overuse injury. Playing through pain will be worse in the long term and the only thing to improve it is to rest. The longer you don't rest it, the worse it gets, and the longer the recovery. Big man Erling is 1.94m 90 kilo Norwegian monster, he needs to be kept off his feet as much as possible than most with an injury like this. Now you think Pep risks him against Palace who sit 15th?

        Quit speculating and let the man sip Sangrias by the beach.

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          If you believe that story fair enough, believing it to somehow justify making the move though is Bizarre, Pep has a reputation, he has it for a reason but sure, he’s injured….

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Wait for news. Obviously.

      1. Ibralicious
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Makes no sense to stomach another swing in price changes when team value has already taken a hit through the season, and the writing is on the wall for the players being moved anyway?

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          Sorry but .1 is not going to make or break your season regardless of what your SV is now, why don’t you just grow a pair and make the move instead of these odd justifications?

          1. Ibralicious
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 12 months ago

            If you grow a pair and quit making excuses to brush aside a serious injury by saying it's just "a story", without looking into the implications of a bone stress injury, which should be all the information you need in the first place. Yeah, if you do all that first, then maybe, and only maybe, I'd follow suit

            1. _Freddo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              1 year, 12 months ago

              Bones stress injury lol dear lord

                1. _Freddo
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 16 Years
                  1 year, 12 months ago

                  I don’t doubt there is an injury but I do doubt Haaland has one, it’s just Pep being Pep to give a player who’s had injuries in the past a nice winter break after a hectic schedule and before a hectic period, they didn’t need him to beat Luton or in a dead CL rubber but you/we’ll see soon enough.

                  BTW, today was a recovery session, he didn’t really need to be back for that, if he trains tomorrow, I wouldn’t sell.

                  1. Ibralicious
                    • 11 Years
                    1 year, 12 months ago

                    Will wait it out since we're hours away from the presser, but Pep's unlikely to reveal anything, so it's got to come from those ITK.

                    Going to wait it out and be very unhappy if the baldie has been lying all along.

                    1. have you seen cyan
                      • 6 Years
                      1 year, 12 months ago

                      the leaker said he will confirm basically. b4 the deadline

                  2. Royal5
                    • 14 Years
                    1 year, 12 months ago

                    Got a feeling it never was a serious injury. He has over used both Haaland and Alvarez so far this season and Haaland needed a rest in a couple of easy fixtures.

                    1. have you seen cyan
                      • 6 Years
                      1 year, 12 months ago

                      Alvarez running on fumes right now.

  10. Jammy Dodger
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Hey lads, having taken a -4 already, do you think Osula > Solanke is worth making it a -8 to give me the below? Or should I just gamble that Gordon is fit?

    Dubravka
    Gabriel - Coufal - Trent
    Salah - Son - Palmer - Saka
    Solanke - Darwin - Watkins

    Turner - Gordon (if injured) - Mengi - Trippier

    Thanks lads

    1. F4L
      • 10 Years

      trust in gordon

    2. Ibralicious
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      What were your moves so far?

      1. Jammy Dodger
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Watkins and Son in for Haaland and Bowen

        1. Ibralicious
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          Fair enough. Any reason you went Watkins over Solanke to start with?

          Solanke has the fixture this week, though Watkins the better player in the better team.

          1. Jammy Dodger
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 12 months ago

            Yeah exactly what you said - just feel that Bournemouth could lose their form any game whereas I think Villa are the real deal.

            Reckon I’ll risk it and stick with the -4!

  11. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    I really get the feeling that Pep is gonna make me feel silly for waiting for news, by going maximum baldness tomorrow

  12. Gizzachance

    Thoughts appreciated ,1ft

  13. F4L
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    any spurs' fans around? trying to decide between kulu and richy.

    when bissouma, sarr and Son leave is it more likely that the front 6 will be:

    Gil Richy Johnson
    Skipp/Lo celso Hojberg Kulu

    or

    Johnson Richy Kulu
    Skipp Hojberg Lo celso? so basically will Kulu be forced back to the wing or not

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      The second IMO

      I'd pick Kulu over Rich if that's what you are asking.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Think we will see Johnson play up front some point this season. Maybe whilst Son is away he will play a game there.

        1. F4L
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          yeah shame i had to sell johsnon last gw to open up the slot for kulu this gw, and he hit the woodwork twice so got a bit lucky. hes still a great option johnson, tough to pick the best 3 spurs.

      2. F4L
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        fair enough

        yeah, its the sensible move. had richarlison at the start of the season so know i should steer clear, its just the amount of chances he'll get, its like darwin mark 2

        if only you could have 6 spurs' players, genuinely would be tempted lol

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          I dont think Rich is a bad pick b any means, but Kulu looks really good recently. He is on my watchlist

  14. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    1FT 0ITB no idea what to do? I want Porro but only way is -4 or selling Trippier?

    Areola Turner
    Saliba Livramento Kabore (Trippier Mitchell)
    Salah Son Saka Gordon Palmer
    Haaland Darwin (Archer)

    A. Trippier > Porro
    B. Mitchell & Darwin > Porro & Solanke (-4)
    C. Something else

  15. GE
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Last spot on Wildcard (have Palmer):

    1) Richarlison
    2) Gross
    3) Doucoure
    4) Gordon

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Groß

    2. F4L
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      1 for me. gordon is still a really decent pick, maybe just not this GW. as are doucs and gross its just richarlison will have that increased chance to haul and that matters alot

  16. Im New Here
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Is it mad that I want to Triple Captain Salah. I feel it could be one of those humiliating games for Man U. They're looking very vulnerable right now

    I know conventional wisdom is to TC a player with a double (or triple) gameweek but some of the DGWs proved to be illusions last season

    1. snow pea in repose
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      A TC played during a blank gameweek can also pay off

    2. F4L
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      not sure liverpool's attack is at their best right now, would be a bit hesitant.

      but i mean even if he gets "only" 8-ish you're likely to be missing out on no more than 6-7 points anyway so go for it if you think its a game liverpool will score 3/4+ goals. its a pretty useless chip

    3. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Or they find some pride and dig in, football is not won on paper I guess.

      They owe them one for that 7 nil, what better way than to take points off them when they are in a title race.

  17. Ram sey Coq uel in
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    I reckon almost every game they play is humiliating for utd atm , so this could just be another one to add to the long list this season.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      everyone is saying Pool will win 7-0 or something. Over-hyped games always disappoint.

      TAA or someone will score an own goal in first 15 mins.

      After that, it will be a boring game.

      1. The Night Trunker.
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Have been gifted tickets for this one as an Xmas pressie.
        I will send them back immediately with a big raspberry, cheers!

  18. Babec

    Is Solanke or Jackson better for the next few gws?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Solanke

    2. F4L
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      solanke

    3. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Sol.

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Jackson????????

    5. The Night Trunker.
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      I think Jackson could easily surprise, these fixtures should help.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Nkunku will be back soon and Jackson is probably the one who gets dropped.

        His returns have also been terrible.

        Solanke is the pick.

  19. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Bench A) Tsimikas or b) akanji ? Thanks

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      A.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        I thought that but worried akanji benched snd come on for 1 point

  20. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Who to take out for Son?
    Gordon or Bowen?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Own Gordon but understand he is a doubt.

      1. aleksios
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Its so difficult which one.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          Why? Eddie Howe will probably give some update. If he is out the pick is easy no?

          1. aleksios
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 12 months ago

            Think he wont anyway.
            Thanks.

  21. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    We have a nice Friday fixture, that's nice.

    Might be a great game.

    2-3 my prediction.

    Best 4.6 defender that isn’t Newcastle to buy?

    1. The Night Trunker.
      • 2 Years

      Ait Nouri for me.

        He’s attacking but fixtures a mixed bag and he’s a bit of an injury doubt I think?

        1. The Night Trunker.
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          No, he's fit and ready now.

      Konsa, Myko, Collwill

        Chelsea fixs are great but they are a disaster so think il avoid Colwill.
        Myko- a good option IMO Everton solid but tough fixtures
        Konsa- villa going well so prob best option?
        Possibly a Bournemouth def with their fixtures?

          Chelsea will get better and dream run of fixtures which will include a couple of clean sheets

      Is Gusto fit?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        in training I think

      2. Dragon1983
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Hopefully confirmed at presser tomorrow - and then I think he becomes better option than Colwill

          Agree. He will be my choice if fit and gtg. Selling Mitchell.

            Nailed with Reece out for a good while. Also very attacking.

              Gusto isn't nailed. Should be first choice but Disasi and Cucurella can play there.

                Disasi is CB no? Has he played as a RB in Chelsea? Cucurella is LB. And not a very good one. Would be very suprised if he was to play RB all of a sudden.
