Sleeper Pick’em predictions for this weekend


Sponsored by Sleeper


Hopefully the opening Matchday went well for your Fantasy FC teams. Our competitive core team at Scout will soon be starting our own draft league, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, Sleeper’s other new game is Pick’em – a free predictor that takes up only a few minutes of each week but offers monthly and seasonal prizes.

The first part of Fantasy weekend preparations always involves looking at the imminent fixtures and predicting how they might go. So let’s go ahead and guess Matchday 2 via Pick’em.

If you see yourself as a bit of a top-flight Nostradamus, it’d be a good idea to download the app – available from the App Store and Play Store – and then join our Scout league.

REGULAR PICK’EM PRIZES

What is Sleeper + how can you join our free Pick'em league?

In Pick’em, you predict wins and draws for the upcoming matches, earning a point for every correct guess.

Not only is there a football shirt of choice to be won each month but the overall season-long winner will gain £7,500 worth of prizes!

It costs nothing, takes just a few minutes and is sociable – connecting you in a chat with league competitors.

MATCHDAY 2 PICK’EM

Using Sleeper Pick'em to predict this weekend

On the final day of 2023/24, Manchester United picked up all three points at Brighton and Hove Albion. However, the Seagulls had won their previous four league meetings and we back them to do this again, having looked great last week versus Everton.

To make matters worse, the Toffees will be without both James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite for their trip to Tottenham Hotspur, making the North London side favourites.

Meanwhile, to encourage those draft teams that own either Erling Haaland, Chris Wood or Rodrigo Muniz, we also think all three promoted sides will lose.

Eddie Howe shall end the weekend still without a league win over former club Bournemouth but at least Arsenal will say they’ve stopped their run of defeats to Aston Villa.

A score draw is anticipated between Crystal Palace and West Ham United, before Sunday brings hard-fought victories for Liverpool and Chelsea.

WHAT IS SLEEPER?

What is Sleeper + how can you join our free Pick'em league? 1

Built like a messenger app, Sleeper launched in 2014 as a place to chat about Fantasy games. Their initial US leagues debuted in 2017 and they’ve now decided to branch into football with some exciting Premier League and La Liga contests.

Pride is taken in its design, aided by initially hiring a bunch of casual fans and first-time Fantasy players to bring out-of-the-box ideas that created a less intimidating interface for new players. And this seems to have worked, as Sleeper continues to gain popularity.

    Andreas in a 3-5-2 with Sels and Jebbison om bench.

    Or Muniz in a 3-4-3 with 4.0 GK and Bergvall on the bench?

    Who is the best Solanke replacement? Can't afford Havertz without taking a hit

    a) Muniz
    or
    b) Mateta
    or

          Yup! Probably underpriced (like Eze), but I see why FPL Towers played it safe with Glasner's lads

          I had him locked for GW1 after what I saw last season, but the Olympics and Solanke's move killed that idea

      Murphy. I'd say this is part of why you have an 8th attacker

      Murphy has a good fixture and is nailed, with good performances until the 10-man game

    Dilemma.......

    In the unfortunate position of having to play Rogers or Harwood this GW.......
    I have 3m ITB.........and I have made my free transfer. So if I need to make a transfer I have to take a hit.

    My Midfield is currently Saka, Salah, Bruno, Nkunku and Rogers

    My thinking is....

    A) Take a hit to bring Eze into my team for Rogers.......All in needs is goal involvement to cover the cost.
    B) Play Rogers and hope for the best against Arsenal and Eze doesn't go mental......
    C) Any other suggestions?

    Thanks guys and good luck for GW2

          I actually consider playing Rogers over Murphy based on how lively he looked against hammers.

      Park THB at third sub until Soton proves to be a better defence than their low defensive rank *in the Championship* last season

      Nkunku to Foden might be a better use of those funds. Play Rogers. Emery doesn't believe in tough fixtures

      Personally, I think Rogers could be the bargain of the season, but Arsenal away isn’t a nice looking fixture.
      Beyond this weekend tho, Rogers has a delicious run of matches that you won’t want to miss out on.
      And you never know, there’s been a few young lads who have scored away at Arsenal (“remember the name”)

    3. Ze_Austin

      Eze. Nailed 4.0 defenders provide cover while maxing out starting XI points. It's a bit too early to know who to rotate for what fixtures, and the cheapies who emerge tend to be perma-starters anyway

      What I mean is... If I get Rogers/Minteh, it'll be as a starter to maximize my starting XI's points by maybe being able to afford Haaland + Salah. I'll still have a cheap bench then

    Quansah to Robinson or Lewis? Then who to bench out of Hall and Rogers?

    Henderson
    TAA - Porro - Hall

    Isak - Muniz

    Slicker - Quansah - Solanke - Barco
