    Why hasn't scout produced a simple guide on if this happens then this happens but if this happens then this happens in relation to the doubles and the 29 blank? I'm not sure what I'm looking out for in the semis this week.

      They have done one already I think

        There's this https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2025/01/31/fpl-double-gameweek-25-confirmed but an at-a-glance infographic would be better, I feel.

      No point speculating when we'll get a whole week to digest the outcome before 25 deadline.

        Why don’t you start your own site and then do all the things not done here that you complain about?

            It's enough to make me pack the jihadist game in.

      What’s going on with the scout app?

      Can’t seem to register my team ID or use the team planning tool since Friday? Has assistant manager glitched the app or something?

        Yep, not working for me either.

        I am pretty certain it’s crashed for anyone with assman active

          But anyone who has assman active and the app is behaving as normal, please comment to rule that theory out

        Play colwill away to brighton or robinson home to forest?

        1. Shark Team
          • 7 Years
          3 months, 12 days ago

          Robinson by some miles

      • Meta12345
          3 months, 12 days ago

          If a double gameweek is given to fulham, would you do slot to silva for a -4?

          1. CONNERS
            • 6 Years
            3 months, 12 days ago

            No. Fulham could easily lose both games.

            1. Meta12345
                3 months, 12 days ago

                What if it is for a free transfer? That will mean playing gordon away to man city instead of kluivert.

                1. CONNERS
                  • 6 Years
                  3 months, 12 days ago

                  I still don't like it, especially at the expense of buying Kluivert.

                  1. Meta12345
                      3 months, 12 days ago

                      But there is the potential table bonus for fulham vs forest. You wouldn’t pick him given good odds for fulham to win?

              If villa, FUL or spurs dgw25 worth selling hall -4 for one of their defs? Already own robinson

              1. CONNERS
                • 6 Years
                3 months, 12 days ago

                No. There doesn't seem enough upside, especially when you the blank GW29 into consideration.

                1. CONNERS
                  • 6 Years
                  3 months, 12 days ago

                  OK cheers although hall away to city

                  1. CONNERS
                    • 6 Years
                    3 months, 12 days ago

                    I think Kerkez would be a better buy, even without a double. Some great fixtures coming up and a game in the blank.

                    1. Stranger Mings
                      • 4 Years
                      3 months, 12 days ago

                      Yeh good shout

              Play Wissa or Huijsen?

              I have Mbuemo

                Wissa. Always play the attacker.

              Not surprised....

              Since 4th December, Cole Palmer has created more chances than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues - 32.

              He’s registered 0 assists in that time

                  Makes you wonder who is not converting these potential assists

                  1. fantasyfog
                    • 10 Years
                    3 months, 12 days ago

                    Can't think of anyone?

                      3 months, 12 days ago

                      Thing with this is yes Nico's a bad finisher but chance creation would include Palmers hospital pass to Nico vs City that would have been a guarenteed goal if Palmer got it right.

                      1. Nightcrawler
                        • 5 Years
                        3 months, 12 days ago

                        Or if Jackson could use his left foot

                      2. Tonyawesome69
                        • 6 Years
                        3 months, 12 days ago

                        Not a particularly great pass but still an opportunity he should have scored with his left foot.

                        Another chance here from 0:45s against Palace and Jackson decided to use the outside of his right foot than use his left foot...

              Sels
              TAA, Hall, Robinson
              Salah, Palmer, Mbeumo, Gordon
              Isak, Gakpo, Wood

              (Fabianski, Rogers, Timber, HB)
              1FT + 0 itb

              A) Timber > Kerkez
              B) Hall > Kerkez
              C) Gordon > Kluivert

                No point having Timber at that price if you’re gonna bench him

              GTG? 🙂

              Slot
              Pickford
              TAA - Mykolenko - Robinson
              Salah - Palmer - Mbuemo - Kluivert
              Isak - Mateta - Wood

              Valdimarsson - Hall - Harwood Bellis - Choudhury

              Will do Isak ➡ Watkins this gw if Villla double.

              GW 26 - Slot ➡ Arteta
              GW 27 - Hall ➡ Mazroui
              GW 28 - Save FT
              GW 29 - Mateta + Watkins + TAA ➡ Haaland + Cunha + Milenkovic for -4

              GW 30 - WC

              GW 33 - BB
              GW 36 - FH

              AM and TC used.

              THOUGHTS? 🙂

                Nailed it.

              2. Nightcrawler
                • 5 Years
                3 months, 12 days ago

                Planning exact transfers 4 weeks ahead when we don't even know which teams double or blank yet

                1. have you seen cyan
                  • 5 Years
                  3 months, 12 days ago

                  I know what moves I want to make up until GW30 pretty much lol.

                  1. Yank Revolution
                    • 13 Years
                    3 months, 10 days ago

                    Impossible. At most two or three weeks ahead is the best you can plan for. You can have a "loose" strategy for when to use chips, but things change too quickly in EPL to map out exactly what you want to do 4, 5 6 weeks ahead. It always blows up.

                • 6 Years
                3 months, 12 days ago

                GW34 might be a problem
                F.A.Cup semi final weekend
                Potentially up to 8 teams could blank
                Might be better playing FH then

                1. Hairy Potter
                  • 10 Years
                  3 months, 12 days ago

                  Is it better to play a FH in the small blank when there are plenty of good players to choose? Rather than the big blank where there are slim pickings for players to have?

                  1. AC/DC AFC
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 9 Years
                    3 months, 12 days ago

                    The big blank but need to differentiate some picks too

                    Can't play template FC on a Free Hit

              4. CONNERS
                • 6 Years
                3 months, 12 days ago

                Looks a reasonable plan, although I would save FT in 27 rather than bringing in a United defender.

                You may want/need to prioritise an alternative transfer over a def so I'd bank as many as possible until the blank.

              5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
                • 11 Years
                3 months, 12 days ago

                Won’t DGW 36 be preferable to BB. I think it’s a bigger one

                1. Hairy Potter
                  • 10 Years
                  3 months, 12 days ago

                  Who has a double then?

                  1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
                    • 11 Years
                    3 months, 12 days ago

                    We will know after GW 30. But the later one is usually the bigger one.

                  2. KNOWSNOWT
                      3 months, 12 days ago

                      To my knowledge the FA Cup Semi-Final teams

                2. have you seen cyan
                  • 5 Years
                  3 months, 12 days ago

                  Looks like you thought about it quite a lot. But you are missing some good fixtures.

                  - You should consider Amad for 27 and 29
                  - You should consider keeping Palace through blank 29 as they Ipswich and Saints in 28 and 30 (I will have 2 palace)
                  - I'd maybe consider getting in Cuc or James in for 27 and 28 to go with Palmer caps

                3. PartyTime
                  • 3 Years
                  3 months, 12 days ago

                  Good, however, you need to reconsider your gw 27 transfer.I I suppose you’d know Maz is a dud & Manchester utd are crap.

              6. fantasyfog
                • 10 Years
                3 months, 12 days ago

                Hi all, missed the boat so still have AM an TC chip (along with BB and free hit)

                Depending on who's doubling Gw 25, I'm guessing TC'ing Salah will be best best if pool double?

                The rest I can get my head around later

                1. Boberella
                  • 8 Years
                  3 months, 12 days ago

                  Think that’s where I’m at.

                • 9 Years
                3 months, 12 days ago

                It will be nice if Everton wins or Salah scores a hat trick...

                Just to put to bed any lingering arguments about TC24 over AM24 ... for many moons to follow.

                1. PartyTime
                  • 3 Years
                  3 months, 12 days ago

                  Doubt the stars will follow suit.

                  • 6 Years
                  3 months, 12 days ago

                  Or Liverpool wins, Gapko scores a brace, Salah blanks, and TAA returns with a CS and an assist. 🙂

              8. Cold Palms
                  3 months, 12 days ago

                  If you have Moyse AM and Pickford then 1-0 Everton will be gold!

                  1. AC/DC AFC
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 9 Years
                    3 months, 12 days ago

                    Pickford scores into the top corner, for max bonus points?

                    1. Zimo
                      • 6 Years
                      3 months, 12 days ago

                      Don't forget the pen save

                • Cold Palms
                    3 months, 12 days ago

                    Penalty save by Pickford and a miss by Salah would be gold ?

                    1. Yes Ndidi
                      • 5 Years
                      3 months, 12 days ago

                      All I want is a Salah hattie, all assisted by Gakpo (or vice versa), an Alisson penalty save, and a consolation Trent OG assisted by Myko!

                    2. AC/DC AFC
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 9 Years
                      3 months, 12 days ago

                      Penalty saved by Pickford

                      Then he dribbles it up field and smashes it into the top corner?

                  • Nightcrawler
                    • 5 Years
                    3 months, 12 days ago

                    Arsenal going through would be a disaster for those stacked up on chips. Most probably just one more DGW after 25

                    1. Yes Ndidi
                      • 5 Years
                      3 months, 12 days ago

                      Would probably make 29 easier to negotiate and may even bring FH25 to the table.

                      Does it make sense to hold, or ditch most of your Newcastle players tho?

                      The thing about going all out to avoid FH29 is that approach alters transfers for the next 5 gws.

                      Saying that, FH34 could be a better use of the chip.

                        Newcastle are playing bad anyway. No issues selling. Isak is the only one worth keeping, but not over Watkins.

                          So you don't necessarily want Arsenal winning tomorrow, that would make the narrative to hold Newcastle players much more dominant.

                          Especially as most likely have more Newcastle than Arsenal.

                          I didn't have one Arsenal or Man City player on Sunday, funny old season.

                    Rogers really loves a yellow, doesn't he. He will be on 10 soon!

                    Just another reason to dump him after 25 or 26 for Amad.

                      Not sure Amad is even the pick. May as well be Dango or Semenyo

                        Assuming you have Bournemouth players by then.

                        Amad will be a popular pick with those 2 fixtures in a row. I rate Amad highly. A diamond in the rough.

                          Could very well be, my vote goes to Dango/Semenyo though. Sold Amad after his 20-pointer, no ragrets so far

                    Assuming Liverpool and Newcastle reach the Carabao final as expected by the bookies, would FH29 be the best play?

                    Don't wanna move off triple Liverpool as the fixtures are good after, same with Isak and Newcastle. Palace also have Southampton in GW30 as well and thinking about bringing Munoz in for the 3 home fixtures in the next 4 before the blank. Would leave me with 5 players blanking in GW29 who I would rather not have to sell.

                    FH29 would let me keep all of them easier and not have to focus on the blank gameweek ahead.

                      I worked most of my transfers out and I wont need FH. But, there is a lot of moves I need to make before 29. Looking like from now until 29, I will need to take 4 hits. But, that's not just to dodge the blank, its to attack certain teams.

                      In 29, planning to bench Munoz, Mateta, and Salah. Palace fixtures are too good.

                      Very team depended and results, but if you have a lot of liv, cry, new players, ... FH29 seems imo the smart move.

                    If there's any Mods/FFS staff listening, the app hasn't been working for me for about a week now. Have tried re-entering my Team ID, uninstalling and reinstalling app etc. Just stays loading every time I try to do anything. Have seen a few others post same thing too. I'm having to find a way to spend the day other than tinkering with my team...

                      A fix for this is being worked on and it is hoped to have it live today. Any team with an active AM chip is affected currently.

                      You must have other options, can't bench either of them.
