It’s the penultimate Gameweek of the season and FantasyBet have a whole range of contests to entertain us over the weekend and beyond, with 18 guaranteed pots on offer over the four days of Premier League football.

This week’s freerolls cover all 14 fixtures and therefore allow double Gameweek teams to be built from scratch. I’ve gone all in with 11 double players in the freeroll team below, while it’s the last chance to win tickets for FantasyBet’s largest ever pot – the Grand Finale Mania provides no less than 10 places for winning participants in the £5,000 Gameweek 38 contest.

If you are unfamiliar with FantasyBet it is particularly easy to play for those who know Fantasy Premier League, as it uses a similar scoring system.

Check out this daily and weekly fantasy football guide to see how the game works.

MY TEAM

David De Gea (5.5m)
Patrick Van Aanholt (4.5m)
Alberto Moreno (5m)
Aaron Cresswell (5.5m)
Nathan Redmond (5m)
Mark Noble (5.5m)
Dimitri Payet (7.5m)
Eden Hazard (10.5m)
Jermaine Defoe (5m)
Anthony Martial (7.5m)
Daniel Sturridge (10m)

KEY PICKS

David De Gea – While the Spaniard may face two away trips, United’s recent run of four clean sheets in six suggests he could bring in the points. Certainly, a shutout against a Norwich side without a goal in three looks likely, whilst De Gea – who has averaged over three saves per away match over the last six – can expected to be kept busy for the midweek trip to West Ham.

Patrick Van Aanholt – With five goals to his name already, the left-back’s attacking forays puts him at the forefront of our double Gameweek thinking. With their survival on the line, a recent upturn in resilience has earned Sunderland three shut-outs in the last five ahead of vital home clashes with Chelsea and Everton.

Dimitri Payet The Frenchman’s consistency makes him a certainty in our squad for the matches with Swansea and United. Payet has returned points in seven of his last ten outings now and remains at the heart of a thriving Hammers attack ahead of Upton Park head-to-head with Swansea and United.

Anthony Martial Last week’s strike against Leicester was the Frenchman’s fifth in ten appearances across all competitions. Martial has picked up maximum bonus points in four of the last five times he’s netted in the league and should find plenty of space for his effective runs behind the lines away to Norwich and West Ham’s unconvincing rearguards.

LAST WEEK

There’s not much to mention from last week’s efforts. My main captain pick, Alexis Sanchez, failed to produce anything other than a clean sheet point, as my teams languished outside of the money places.

Tello earned top spot in the Grand Weekend by a ten-point margin – Karl Darlow (15 points), Dusan Tadic (11) and captain Troy Deeney’s 26-point hauls making up over half of his 97-point total.

THIS WEEK’S GAME PICKS

As always the best place to start if you’re new to FantasyBet are the freerolls.

There is a £50 pot available for this Gameweek in both the standard and Flash mode – they both cover all of the matches in Gameweek 37.

The Grand Weekend is £11 to enter for a chance to win part of the £1000 guaranteed prize money.

In the run-up to the Grand Finale in Gameweek 38, which has a £5,000 pot on offer – it’s possible to enter a qualifier this week for a £5.50 stake to win one of ten entry tickets usually worth £33.

THIS WEEK’S STAKE

I’m entering The Grand Weekend, the Grand Finale Qualifier, the freerolls, the Double-up Contest and entering a team into the FFScout Picks League for a total outlay of £17.70. I may also enter some of the contests after the weekend such as the Mid-week Double-up.

In addition, I’ll be going up against King Ozil, the Community champion in this week’s Scout Picks.

He will be taking me on in a specially set up head to head game for a chance to win free entry into a £500 Guaranteed ‘Big Weekly’ game worth £22.

Also the eligible Community Champion who beats the Scout Picks by the highest margin every month will win a free entry into the £600 guaranteed ‘Boss’ game worth £55.

FFSCOUT PICKS LEAGUE

Galdgeholt topped the FFScout league for a second week running, beating last week’s score with 93 points. Sadio Mane’s hat-trick exploits bought in a huge 19 points while Dusan Tadic (11 points) and Kelechi Iheanacho (13 points) were the other stand out picks.

Once again, FantasyBet have provided a £100 pot for the FFScout Picks League, with a £1.10 stake for entry – it is now possible to enter two teams into this contest. I will enter our Scout Picks as closely as possible, given a 15-man squad is required with the 100m budget and a captain also needs to be selected.

Feel free to go up against them this week and pick your own squad on FantasyBet.

  1. The Legend Squad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Robles
    PVA Lovren Sellerin
    Mahrez Willian Sanchez Payet
    (C)osta Aguero Carroll

    Schmeicheln Iwobi Williams Daniels

    Any comments, or changes - I'm 40 points behind so need to catch up before I bench boost next week!

    1. Get in ma Dembele
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      if you're 40 points behind would it not be more beneficial to get some more DGW'ers in and BB this week?

      1. The Legend Squad
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        That would involve taking hits - and then even so those DGW players that I would bring in would likely be in my starting 11, still leaving me with a bench of SGWers

        1. Get in ma Dembele
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I'm talking going the whole hog, I was 50 points behind the leaders, I've taken a 24 point hit so makes me 74 points behind him but I'm now bench boosting a squad of 14 DGWer. With one gameweek to go I think you have to throw s hit to the wind

  2. Demí
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Money no object, literally. 9m to spend on a def. Which defender would you love to have for the final 2 gw's? already got triple west ham attack so no cresswell

    baines, ivanovic or other?

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Ivanovic or Martin

    2. Albert Cole
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Smalling.

    3. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Smalling or Ivan for me

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I have a feeling about Baines this week

      1. pompeyfan
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        me too. Strongly tempted, just as I was last week, kicking myself that I didn't pull the trigger then

    5. Hektik
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Baines for sentimental reasons

    6. kawaiii
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      PVA. Lots to play for.

    7. Demí
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Cheers all. Got DDG already so may leave smalling. Baines has the fixtures but Ivan has the goal threat

      1. SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I'm going for both.

      2. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Does Ivan even have any goal threat at centre back?

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Terry back so ivan should play lb

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Ah sh*t. I would have bought him had I known this.

        2. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Or is he back at full back now?

        3. Demí
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I thought he moved last game with Cahill back

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah I havent been paying attention. Wish Id known that before making my transfers tbh...

      3. LewanGOALski
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I'd even double on ManU defence for those last nice fixtures

    8. Gastar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Smalling or Ivan for me

  3. Albert Cole
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    OUT
    Evans
    Otamendi
    Kane

    IN
    Smalling
    Cresswell
    Carroll

    Well, is this really -8 material?

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I am reluctant to lose Kane but seems like I have to.

      They look like the kind of moves plenty others are doing around here.

    2. kawaiii
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      6 games to 3. Live a little.
      What do you have to lose ? It's a game.

    3. Gastar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I would say yes

  4. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Delaney out for?

    choose one of these

    A) Cresswell
    B) PVA
    C) Azpili
    D) Someone else?

    1. Hektik
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Cresswell

    2. jernej93
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Cresswell

  5. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts guys?

    Robles - Darlow
    PVA - Bellerin - Cresswell - Delaney - Simpson
    Milner - Payet - Lanzini - Sanchez - Iwobi
    Kun - Kane - Sturridge

    Lanzini, Kane, Sturridge > Hazard, Defoe, Carroll (-8)

    Also is it worth taking another hit (-12) to do Delaney > Smalling or not?

    1. Energetics
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Would not get rid of Lanzini for a hit! Perhaps just Kane and Iwobi to Defoe and Hazard?

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah good point but I have to ship Lanzini in order to bring in Carroll and I think Carroll will easily out score Lanzini so it will be worth the hit imo

        1. Energetics
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Given a 4 point headstart I think Lanzini and Sturridge are very likely to outscore Iwobi and Carroll

  6. Slam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    So, those with Mahrez are playing him?

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Of course

      1. Slam
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Will he not be too hungover to play?
        Or at least be hauled off at the hour mark to give a chance to others?

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I doubt they will change things now much.

        2. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Pressure off shackles off be a case of go out and showcase his talents aka double figure haul

        3. Slam
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Thanks you two

        4. Ziegler1988
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          He doesn't drink

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Had him from minute 1 so yeah - and the last time I benched him was Swansea (a)

    3. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      absolutely

  7. Chicken-Mandy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    ranked 2,400 in the world but I think I will triple captain carroll over payet. someone try talk me out of this madness

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I would as well 😀

    2. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      no Hazard?

      1. Chicken-Mandy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        yeah but not considering him for TC, two tough fixtures and they dont really have much motivation as they played their cup final last monday

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I probably do the same.

      1. Chicken-Mandy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        payet the safer option theres no doubt about that, but do we want a couple assists from our triple captain chip? payet will most likely get a couple of assists but after seeing kun and sanchez get 25 points in the DGW I want my triple captain to have the potential to be explosive and I think Carroll can give me that.

        1. Energetics
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Ranked 4k and I'm also TC Carrol for exactly this reason!

    4. Paganoi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'm sitting at 1,365 and thinking the exact same thing. Fortune favors the brave, right?

    5. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Don't.

    6. kawaiii
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Depends if you are happy with 2400,
      or want to reach top 1000+ ? Dullard or Maverick ?
      Carrol is potentially explosive ( e.g. Arsenal game), but Payet is a steady assist machine.

      Personally, going for Carrol. More fun if it comes off.

    7. fordy049
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I am doing it! had a dream he scored a hat trick so I now have no choice haha

  8. gunner267
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Who's a better replacement for Williams Moreno or PVA? Other suggestions are obv welcome.

    1. jernej93
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Moreno will only play 1 IMO 🙂

      PvA, Creswell and Smalling in this order

  9. sk018
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Robles (away*2) or Darlow(away against Villa)?

    1. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      robles

    2. jernej93
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Darlow

  10. jernej93
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    This is how my team looks like without any hits:

    Mannone
    Bellerin - Kosc/FonsuMensah - PvA
    Coutinho - Sanchez - Lanzini - Payet
    Kane - Aguero - Defoe

    I am chasing 21 points in my mini league ... thinking about -8 or -12 .. have to take risk, what do you think?

    Thinking about: Carroll, Hazard, Redmond, Smalling and Creswell (at least 2 of them)

    1. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I have a very similar team, some of the options are listed in my post below.

      Would do Kane -> Carroll if I were you. And get Cresswell for Koscielny.

      1. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Sorry, my bad, that would give you 4 from West ham. Just the Kane -> Carroll, then. And maybe Coutinho -> Hazard?

        1. jernej93
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          My bad too yes 😀 I can see West Ham going in attack mode for last two games at their stadium

      2. jernej93
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I would bring Cress for Alderweild and keep Kosc for Villa match 🙂

  11. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    those Klopp comments make me confused.

    Are LIV assets worth investing?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not really. Too uncertain. And they will just have eyes on the Europa league now, I doubt they will put that much effort into their league matches

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      The way I see it.

      Strong squad against Watford and early subs for key players like Cout,Firm etc. Possibly 20 min run out for Studge.

      Strongest possible team against Chelsea and reserve team in gw38 against WBA

      1. Suarezista
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I agree with this.

        1. JJO
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I dont
          He just said that he will change players cause of the high tempo game they had last night

          1. JJO
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Cant see any of those playing yesterday to start vs Watford
            Maybe Mingo but think Ward will play too

  12. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    So Tekkers likely to start instead of Studge on sunday?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You'd have thought so. Unless Studge kicks up a big fuss with Klopp about wanting to play and Benteke perhaps still not being fit enough to start.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Just can't help thinking Studge being better option than Carroll

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I have both, but would prefer to have Carroll of the two

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            He is probably safer option.

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      “Altogether with Daniel involved, we did everything we could to make him as fit as possible,” said the boss.

      “Now he is at the highest level and it’s really perfect news for England and the European Championships. We tried to do our best with and around him, and he does the same in the sessions and on the pitch. There is nothing negative or resting or whatever to think about.”

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Interesting

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Indeed. Could Sturridge really start both dgw games

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Would be pretty surprising to see Sturridge starting 3 games in a week. Just cant see it happening.

            1. S.Kuqi
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              Me neither but still would love to have him over Defoe

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Sounds like its just about worth keeping studge then. Hard choice!

  13. Slam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Is Olson nailed for Norwich?

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I don't think so

      1. Slam
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Hm.. ok
        Will be on the diner later tonight btw

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          So wlll. Will be around most of the late evening and I won't even be at work. Need to decide my final forward

    2. Suarezista
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I got him last week, seems to be playing regularly since Brady was moved to midfield. No concrete info though.

    3. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Hard to say as Norwich defence has been changing all season. Norwich need to go for wins now, so I'd expect him to start now.

  14. Spencer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Spent much of yesterday planning my transfers and after much deliberation, decided that Townsend was the best pick for a hit.

    Only just realised that Newcastle don't have a DGW this week!

    😳

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      They do. They play Villa.

    2. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Still, he may be the best pick

    3. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      First half v Villa. Second half v Villa. DGW

    4. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Considering Lanzini > Townsend

    5. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I did the same last week! Still decided to get Townsend (though not for a hit).

  15. Perthite
    • 15 Years

      I'm about to make that same move.

      • 11 Years

      yes

  16. GRM 23
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Not keen on either but keep Ozil or KDB for the last two? Likely to change one to Hazard for -4

    Cheers

    Could really need some help here, guys! I have 1FT, and will take one or two hits. I want another dgw striker for Kane, so these are my options, any input very much appreciated (I have three players from whu):

    A) just Kane -> Lukaku, Costa or Martial?
    B) Kane and Lanzini -> Carroll and Willian/Fabregas?
    C) Kane, Lanzini and Mahrez -> Carroll, Hazard and a Norwich mid?
    D) Kane and Coutinho -> Hazard and Deeney/Martial or Rashford?
    E) Kane and Coutinho -> Willian/Fabregas and Lukaku?

    So many things improved on this site, Mark forgot about adding that one feature where a new tab opens when we click on a link in the comments section.

    1. AndyCairns

      can right click then open in new tab, or if on iOS then hold down the link and do the same.

  20. Pooodle

    Which of these is better? Already got De Gea, Payet, and Lanzini.

    A) Smalling and Carroll

    B) Cresswell and Defoe

      2 DGW players for 2 DGW Players? Don't you have SGW players?

    So how will Klopp troll us this time? Anyone think he'll actually field a full-strength XI to punish people who panic-sold after last night's win? 😉

    1. BDMC5
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      As pool fan my main advise is ignore the "predicted lineups" . Very strong chance of completely squad based team against Watford with all big guns rested . A full strength team vs Chelsea then as a test before Sevilla

    2. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Klopp's English is quite weird and contradictory recently

  23. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    get hazard in for -4(bench 1 of sanchez or aguero) or get in a dgw defender for -4(play both sanchez and kun)

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years

      Get Haz. Bench Sanchez

    1. Jazz!

    So £5 million to dismiss LVG at this stage of his contract? Seems like a lot plus Man U may well miss out on the opportunity of Mourinho.

    Seems like an awful lot of money. I know Man U can afford it but I might be tempted to give LVG another seasona nd see how it pans out. They have been improved toward the tail of the season.

    Is Mourinho really that good?

    1. Zizoulicious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Please let them kee him another year. If LVG stays and DDG goes, United will be in big trouble

      1. Zizoulicious
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Saying that, they have improved a little recently

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      £5m is nothing - that's just 3 months of Rooney's wages.

      £5 million is nothing for Man U and he will cost them a lot more than that by remaining manager and not getting top 4 again next year

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Does Mourinho guarantee them that?

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Yes imo

    4. Gastar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I guess the question also has to be asked: Will the brand of football being played by LVG be toxic to the Man U brand such that is more costly than the cost of getting rid of LVG, etc?

      I suspect that it potentially is

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        As opposed to Mourinho's expansive attacking football?

        I think it may well be more of the same tbh

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Mourinho is a pragmatic manager he will see no problem in going to the nou camp and parking a bus if he sees that as the best way of getting a result for example but this idea that he plays ultra defensive football is a myth.. his chelsea and madrid teams played some wonderful stuff at times.. you need that balance between attacking intent and rock solid foundation.. Mourinho has that in his locker

        2. Gastar
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah, that's a point that may have some weight to it, but I think that it is ultimately not a fair comparison. LVG is aware of the expectations of the fans for expansive attacking football and has not really delivered I would say. I believe that Mourinho would change his style to accommodate the expectations.

          There is a chance it could be more of the same though!

  27. Zizoulicious
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I'm going to be brave (probably foolish) and bring In Firmino. I think/guess he will get 60 mins vs Watford and 80 mins vs Chelsea...

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      As an owner I hope so!

      1. Zizoulicious
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        If you look at his minutes recently, he's played a lot when they've had games just 3 days apart.

        More likey to play both than Sturridge at least!?

    I have a 16 point lead in my ML. Should i be taking hits or avoiding them?

    What is the conclusion from Klopps comments?

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Same as before. Be wary. Might get lucky if he plays Firm/Cout/Sturr but don't bank on it.
