Today should be savoured – once the final whistles are blown, we wave goodbye to Fantasy Football for an excruciating few months – all the more reason to squeeze every bit of excitement out of Sunday’s action.

Fantasy Premier League is doubtless your main course but, if you’ve yet to try out FanDuel this season, we’ve set up one final exclusive contest to offer you an opportunity to get involved.

We hope to be partnering with FanDuel next season and we know that there is a good deal of the community who have played and enjoyed the game in its first term.

For today, you can register an account, make a deposit and take place in a Fantasy Football Scout contest that gives you the chance to humiliate both Jonty and myself for the chance to win £50 in cash.

This “Beat the Scout” contest is free to enter.

Just register, deposit some funds in your account for next season and pick your line-up.

Everyone who surpasses the score produced by the team that Jonty and I are putting together will be entered into a draw to win £50 in cash – that’s cash, not credit.

Those already registered can also take part but, if you are new to the game, be sure to soak up the Weekly Shop and FanDuel Focus articles published earlier in the week.

They should help you with the nucleus of your line-up, plus you can tweak once the teamsheets come out, right up until the 3pm kick-offs.

Our current line-up is below – although be warned – the discussion is ongoing and Kane is coming in.

FD1

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

  1. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Start one:
    A)Vertonghen
    B)Monreal

  2. Offs!de
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Who is less likely to start
    Hazard or Gabbi?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Haz

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I'd say Gabbi with Austin and J Rod lurking

    3. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      But would put haz 30pc. Gabbi 50pc

    4. sk018
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Gabbiadini

  3. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Costa --> Kane(c) for -4pts, Yay ot Nay

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      If defending yes. If chasing no

    2. Quinny___
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      No. This is Costas farewell match against a poor sunderland

  4. Darbs
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Sticking with Gabbiadini, but with 8 points to make up do I take -4 to bring in Coutinho for Sterling?

    Ta.

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Has rival got Coutinho

      1. Darbs
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yes. And Firmino. I have no Liverpool players.

  5. Quinny___
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    How many total hits for the season did everyone take so. I made 48 transfers so 6 hits for a 64k rank and hopefully higher 🙂

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      8 hits for me, 4 in the last 4 gameweeks as didn't have a wildcard left

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      16 hits, -64

      5.5k rank

    3. Il Papera
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Made 74 transfers with 39 hits (yikes!) and sitting at 10410 as things stand. Did it to boost value wherever possible and it meant I could finish with a strong 15 with all the heavyweights.

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Hit me with questions. I'm here to help.

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Is there a meaning to life?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation.

      2. BobBradleysOpportunity
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        ML titles perhaps

    2. 8ball
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Haz to Coutinho or
      Son to Coutinho (-4)

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        The latter. You don't want to go without Haz vs Sunderland.

    3. sk018
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Captain when chasing
      A) Sturridge
      B) Jesus

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Sturridge!

    4. HD7
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Hi 🙂

      Leader is within 3 points, was 100 points behind 3 weeks ago (small matter he has the bench boost but I I will give my best)

      My team: after Hazard to Coutinho

      Cech
      Alonso Kompany Yoshi Stephens
      Sanchez Coutinho Ali King
      Kane Jesus

      Subs: Pickford Gabbi Albrighton Smith

      Leader Team: (It shows he made 2 transfer, probably Coutinho again and maybe Kane to copy me...

      Cech
      Stephens Mawson Holding
      Sanchez Hazard Ali Sane Eriksen
      Jesus Kaku

      Subs: Jaku Barnes Tarkowski Smith

      Wondering if it is profitable to make Gabbi to Giroud for -4 and play 3-4-3 or just leave it like this ...

      Your suggestions in order to complete an epic win ?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Tough one. I would leave it as it is. Maybe play Albrighton to get a differential over him. If teams are too similar then it's advantage him.

        1. HD7
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah I know. He was on one transfer but an hour ago it was 2... its good he takes a hit but Its essential he doesnt get Kane

    5. Lazerball
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      How essential is coutinho?
      Do I transfer out alli or de bruyne to get him? Rest of my team looks good

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I would sell Alli if it was for free. If for hit then it is a no go.

    6. Sangomango
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Gabbi to origi
      Or bench gabbi and play Yoshida instead

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Play Yoshi. Stoke are horrible away. He also has the goal threat.

    7. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      A)Haz > cout/son
      B)Bert > matip

      Who do I bench?

      Hazard, Ozil, Alli, Fabregas, King
      Kane, Costa, Jesus

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        B

        Bench Cesc I guess.

    8. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Better pick? Tekkers, pedro, giroud, willian, any fwd max 8.3 or mid max 7.8....

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Wijnaldum for the ultimate differential.

  7. barracuda
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Who is going to dance in the kitchen at 18:00?? 🙂

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Klopp

      1. barracuda
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Ou yeah 🙂

  8. woody3260
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Think Conte prefers Willian to Pedro in the big cup games

    1. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      So willian or pedro this gw?

      1. woody3260
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Want Willian, but he may be rested

  9. sk018
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Chasing

    A) Son
    B) Fabregas

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      B

  10. 8ball
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard to Coutinho or
    Son to Coutinho (-4)

  11. Winks Club
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    A: Alonso --> Clyne
    B: Monreal --> Clyne
    B: Hazard --> De Bruyne

    1. KUNingas
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      First B

  12. KUNingas
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Will Giroud play?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      very likely

  13. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Which 2 to play:

    Monreal (EVE)
    Yoshida (STO)
    Stephens (STO)
    Vertonghen (hul)

    Opinions appreciated!

    1. KUNingas
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Vert, Yoshida

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Arsenal have been tight at hte back lately and Monreal does have an attacking threat.

    2. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Monreal Yoshida

  14. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Where is the Alli being rested news coming from?Any reliable sources?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Think it's purely as Eriksson got rested Thursday. 75 pc he will play imo

    2. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      No. People guessing

    3. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Nowhere. It's just speculation on here because Eriksen was benched on Thursday.

    4. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      People trying to justify to themselves their terrible Alli to Coutinho transfer 😉

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        You think it's a bad transfer?

        1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          The transfer is ok if no pressing issues in isolation and not for a hit 🙂

  15. Ian Davis
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Siggy or Son?

    1. Artorias
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Son

  16. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Can't believe people are asking if they should bring in a defender for a hit in GW38 😆

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      😀

    2. Konig Luther
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I just want to save my FT for next season

    3. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      why not, each to their own 🙂

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Only worth it if defender has attacking potential imo. Like Terry. MAYBE matip

      2. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Even if the player you transfer out blanks and the player you got in for a hit gets a clean sheet, you would still be break even...

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yep I have 8 games in a Acca for over 2.5 goals today, only see Man Utd and the Saints game as potential low-scoring matches

  17. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Have a FT to use - which makes more sense:

    A) Caballero -> Mignolet
    B) Monreal -> Matip

    Opinions appreciated!

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Neither tbh

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Can stretch to any keeper or defender.

        Currently:
        Caballero Pickford
        Alonso Yoshida Stephens Vertonghen Monreal.

        1. Viper
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          That's basically my backline too, I wouldn't sell any. Look further up the field for a change imo

    2. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Both sideways

    3. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Monreal to Terry ?

    4. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      neither imo. no other options?

      1. Sebbo29
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        woo another Garf grav 😉

  18. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Chasing 21 pts, have two FTs

    A) Haz + Anichebe > Sturridge + bench fodder
    B) Haz + Evans > Coutinho + Matip

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Whichever your rival doesn't or won't have.

    Who is saying Alli is being rested?

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Eriksen owners, and people needing a reason to get Coutinho.

    2. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      All speculation based on nothing but the fact Eriksen was benched on Thursday.

    Hi all,
    I am 15 points ahead of my rival, would you make any changes or is my team G2G? £1.1m ITB 0FT
    Mignolet
    Matip-Kompany-Yoshida
    Son-Alli-Coutinho-KDB-King
    Jesus-Kane(TC)
    Schmeichel-Stephens-Ayew-Baines

  30. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Is Firmino fit? Sturridge likely to start?
