    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?

        Imagine dying, going to heaven and being faced by 76 Virgins, all whinging!

          That doesn't sound like Nirvana

          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?

    1. Sergio Giorgini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 11 days ago

      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

  3. Meta12345

    Play colwill away to brighton or robinson home to forest?

    1. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 11 days ago

      Robinson by some miles

  4. Meta12345

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

    1. Conners
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 11 days ago

      No. Fulham could easily lose both games.

      1. Meta12345
        • 1 Year
        10 months, 11 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
          10 months, 11 days ago

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

          1. Meta12345
            • 1 Year
            10 months, 11 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?

  5. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 11 days ago

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

    1. Conners
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 11 days ago

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

      1. Conners
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 11 days ago

        *when you take

      2. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 11 days ago

        OK cheers although hall away to city

        1. Conners
          • 6 Years
          10 months, 11 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
            • 5 Years
            10 months, 11 days ago

            Yeh good shout

  6. OneTeamInBristol
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 11 days ago

    Play Wissa or Huijsen?

    I have Mbuemo

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 11 days ago

      Wissa. Always play the attacker.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bristol Rovers fan?

  7. Tonyawesome69

    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

      Not surprised either

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Makes you wonder who is not converting these potential assists

        1. fantasyfog
          • 10 Years
          10 months, 11 days ago

          Can't think of anyone?

          1. Tommy Template
            • 11 Years
            10 months, 11 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
              • 6 Years
              10 months, 11 days ago

              Or if Jackson could use his left foot

            2. Tonyawesome69
              • 6 Years
              10 months, 11 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

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 11 days ago

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

  9. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 11 days ago

    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? 🙂

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 11 days ago

      Nailed it.

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 11 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
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 11 days ago

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

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years
          10 months, 9 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.

    3. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 11 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
        10 months, 11 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
          • 10 Years
          10 months, 11 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
      10 months, 11 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
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 11 days ago

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

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 11 days ago

        Who has a double then?

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

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

        2. KNOWSNOWT
            10 months, 11 days ago

            To my knowledge the FA Cup Semi-Final teams

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 11 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
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 11 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
      10 months, 11 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
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 11 days ago

        Think that’s where I’m at.

    7. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 11 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
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 10 days ago

        Doubt the stars will follow suit.

      2. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 10 days ago

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

    8. Cold Palms
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 11 days ago

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

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 11 days ago

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

        1. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          10 months, 11 days ago

          Don't forget the pen save

    9. Cold Palms
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 11 days ago

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

      1. Yes Ndidi
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 11 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
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 11 days ago

        Penalty saved by Pickford

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

    10. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 11 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
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 11 days ago

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

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 11 days ago

        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.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          10 months, 11 days ago

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

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            10 months, 11 days ago

            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.

    11. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 11 days ago

      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.

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 11 days ago

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

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          10 months, 11 days ago

          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.

          1. C0YS
            • 9 Years
            10 months, 11 days ago

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

    12. The Tonberry
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 11 days ago

      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.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 11 days ago

        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.

      2. Free Hat
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 10 days ago

        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...
