What to do with Hazard?... Heavily discussed on here so I think it should be a HT.

Started this as a reply to Tupper Hazard's point about defensive mids and potentially having a different class of player for them. The issue for me is choice- central mids make up one of the large…

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic GWK 38 Captaincy Differentials Gameweek 38 is often a goal fest and can also be a golden chance to take a risk with the armband. With mini-league or rank…

If we know anything about GW38 history, it's goals, goals, goals. I've had a look at the last 5 years. Average goals per game for that season, and the same for GW38 2015-2016 Season Average 2.84…

Not sure measuring Bench Boost simply by your four designated bench players is the most accurate. I think for many the chip gave us the security to build a fifteen man squad for this DGW, which in…

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic Gameweek 36 Rough with the Smooth feel free to share your tales or woe and joy here. Particularly keen to hear from any of the 100 club.

Alexis Sanchez. A lot of people were looking away from captaining Sanchez, and perhaps even looking at transferring him out of our teams. Has the goal and 3 BPs made you re-think? Have you (like …

82% of the top 10k have never finished there before. That surprises me. Not sure if that is normal is it?

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic Who will be GWK 37's best differential? Will it be a double gameweek player? Or will a single gameweek emerge as the best?

Taken from FPL Discovery. These stats are for GW36 so it's likely they'll increase % for GW37 but still....some potential differentials for your team going by top 10k ownership De Bruyne - 2.2% Wi…

How many Spurs and Chelsea players do you own in total? I own 3 (Hazard, Alonso and Kane). What's the plan? Are you taking hits to ship them out?

The case for a double up with Mesut Ozil I think we're being driven too much by emotions and not by experience / statistics while avoiding Ozil. This is evident because the two algorithms to pick…
