We are delighted to introduce a new article to Fantasy Football Scout to help collect our community’s thoughts on the biggest talking points in Fantasy Premier League.

Each week we will create a Google Form for you to submit a poll and some options for fellow Fantasy Football Scout users to vote on.

We will pick the best ones and publish them in an article later in the week.

For example, you could submit something as simple as ‘Should I sell Mohamed Salah’ with the options of ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.

Or alternatively, you could submit something with a bit more detail like ‘When is the right time to sell Mohamed Salah’ with potential options of ‘Gameweek 30’, ‘Gameweek 31’, ‘Gameweek 32’, ‘Gameweek 33’ or ‘Gameweek 34’.

Maybe you’d like to find out what the consensus is on the best Liverpool triple-up, you could submit options such as ‘one defender, two midfielders’, ‘two defenders, one midfielder’, ‘three defenders’ and ‘one defender, one midfielder and one forward’.

We are looking forward to seeing what subjects you would like to collect votes on and hopefully, this article can help canvas opinion on each Gameweek’s key talking points.

    Is Vardy worth a -4 over Fandersen for 30/31?

    Had long since planned on ....GW30: Redmond > Fraser and GW31: Sterling > Hazard

    However, Fandersen's shocking form is making me consider this

    GW30: Fandersen / Jimi > Fraser & Vardy and GW31: Sterling > Hazard (-4)

    Would mean a -4, but is it worth it to get Vardy in and lose Fandersen for Fraser ?

    31 team
    Fabs
    Luiz / TAA / Robbo / Perreira
    Salah / Hazard / Fraser
    Higuain / Vardy / Barnes

    (Original plan was with:
    Salah / Hazard / Fraser / Fandersen
    Higuain / / Barnes )

      Similar position. Feel vardy is only worth a hit for a non playing player in 31. I would hold onto anyone who has a fixture during the blanks. You’ve made your bed so see it out.

      1. danishdynamite
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks

        But it's a quiet week and I need something to fret over

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

          Very true

    2. CROCosta
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Even though Anderson is out of form I would not take him out for a hit before home games vs Huds and Everton

    3. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Have you checked Fraser form? 8 blanks on the trot.

      Fires and frying pans?

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Worst player rating on Bournemouth page for City game. I think they said not at the races

        1. danishdynamite
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Oh, that's good to know - thanks

        2. Moderately content penguin
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Tbf that game was an outlier as they put 9 men behind the ball all game.

          More pertinent is the blank v Cardiff in a loss . This all feels like when people piled onto Fanderson before Fulham. Bad form is bad form. He’s had one proper return in 14!!

      2. danishdynamite
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        He still has better stats than Andersen. And they'd had much harder opponents away from hom than WHU have

        But yeah, fair point

        Could go for Maddison instead of Fraser (if not going for Vardy) but while his stats are ridiculously good I don't yet trust him as an FPL asset ..........dunno if thats unfair, cos he has 5 goals and 5 assists so far

      3. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        This is true, but if King converts his second penalty against Wolves Fraser has an assist. He also came close against Arsenal.

  2. CarolAnn
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    I have 2 more transfers between now and 31 (I will be wildcarding in 32).

    Here are the 9 I currently have that will play in 31

    SPACE
    Diop, Ogbonna, Robertson, Digne
    Salah, Mane, Hazard, SPACE
    Higuain, Rondon

    I have £9.2m to fill the last 2 spaces.

    Can you think of anything better than Boruc and Brooks?

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Nope. Would go with those 2

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I want to get SPACE in GK but priced out

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Boruc is best possible 31 33 keeper imo. Newcastle and Burnley at home. Lerma back

      Boruc 4 home games
      Wham CS
      Chelsea CS
      Wolves 1 goal penalty
      City 1 goal

      1. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Nice stats there

  3. Tingate
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    I know we don't have all of 33's blanks yet but anyone drawn up a team for 31-33 if no FH chip left?

    Thanks in advance!

  4. Thunder Warrior
    • 11 Years

    Pogba to Madis

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      im considering this move too this week pal

    2. Thunder Warrior
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Pogba to Maddison madness? Fulham at home, good game for M to score a goal finally..

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Good move

      2. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I think the majority think it's madness yeah.. I'm going for it though I think

    3. Robson-Canoe
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Only worth for those who FH in 32

    4. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Pogba to Mane for me..

  5. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Which looks best

    A) Doherty, Jota & Auba -> TAA,Hazard & Wilson in

    or

    B) Bednarek, Jota & Auba -> VVD, Brooks & Higuain

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      A

  6. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Which transfer to do This GW ?
    A - Kola > TAA
    B- Pogba > Brooks

  7. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    1FT

    Fabianski
    Robbo TAA Pereira
    Son Salah Pogba Anderson
    Higuain Jimenez Rashford

    Boruc Schär Doherty Højbjerg

    How is Rashford + Son -> King + Hazard over the next 2? Will give me 10 GW 31 players to FH in 32.

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

    Hos did I end up with this dilemma. Play F. Andersson or Snodgrass (or maybe Doherty or Jiminez)?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Snodgrass last 2 scores 8 6. Sad I sold last week but needed money for TAA and Mane

      1. Firminooooo
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Got his 8 points but benched last GW. Will kick myself if I play Snodgrass and F. Andersson haul.

  9. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    If GW32 ends up being the bigger DGW does it make more sense to then WC for 32 and FH in 35 ?

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I mean FH 33

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      FH32 is perfect because 33 teams almost mirror 31 so you get spud 31 team back for 33. Seems like many are overlooking this especially FH31 people

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        True that's what I'm following at the moment

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Honestly think a lot of FH31 players think United Wolves only DGW teams in 32 because only ones advertised in FPL. They in for shock

      2. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        (Y)

      3. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        That’s my thinking defo then card 34 BB 35... still have TC to use tho so could do with another double or it may have to be Salah v Hudds in 36?

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      TC or BB 32 makes more sense than WC 32

    4. The 5% Team
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      what's the advantage of WC over FH in 32?

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I meant if 32 ends up being the bigger DGW as the key DGW teams in 32 will be targeted in 35 in terms of the heavy hitting teams

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Should be bigger but WC makes no sense. You can't play 2 chips in one week. WC 34 BB 35

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            If you want to BB 32 need to WC 31 when 32 DGW not yet confirmed and ruining 31/33 template

  10. Zenith UK

    Tielemans or Maddison?

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years

      Tielemans

      1. Zenith UK

        Gonna expand this post further down

    4. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Maddison, all of Tielemans recent shots seem to be from outside of the box.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Seen his ability to score from outside the box though?
        Also two assists in two GWs. Seems to be growing into the role.

        1. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Yep, there is that, but I think the majority of points from either option will come via assists, and Maddison seemed to be more creative in the last match - 3 key passes to 1.

  11. captainjilflex
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Play A.Barnes (liv) or Pritchard (BOU)? Thanks

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      A

  12. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    If you have máne is there need for Salah it is my budget but have Hazard,Kun,Sterling,Pogba,(Máne)?

    1. boc610
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yes. Salah is a rank destroyer, he hauls against Burnley and scores even two of the countless chances he will get then you drop like a stone.

  13. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    WH fans talk to me about Fredericks.

    Nailed? Any attacking potential? decent alternative for Rice if looking for differentials?

  14. Head Honcho
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Can someone update GW33 fixtures which ones are definite, likely & blanking. As i'm aware these are the definite fixtures:

    Bournemouth v Burnley

    Southampton v Liverpool

    Everton v Arsenal

    Huddersfield v Leicester

    Just so I can plan my transfers to play in this week as well as GW31

    Thanks

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      5 fixtures are definite. Chelsea play West Ham

      1. Head Honcho
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Chelsea play both Blanks then, More reason to get Hig and Haz in 🙂 Thanks

  15. Old Gregg
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Morning,

    What's the better moves over the next 2 GW please?. Planning free hit 32. This will give me 10 for GW31.

    a)
    GW 30 - Jota > Brooks.
    GW 31 - Sterling + Punch > Mane + Lanzini (-4)

    b)
    GW 30 - Jota > Brooks.
    GW 31 - Sterling + Rash > Mane + Higuaín (-4)

    C)
    GW 30 - Jota > Fraser.
    GW 31 - Sterling + Punch > Mane + Gudmundsson (or 5.5m mid) (-4)

  16. Cojones of Destiny
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    lets have a final vote lads!
    a. Lanzini
    b. Snodgrass

    thx

    1. Zenith UK

      A

    2. Firminooooo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I have Snodgrass (and F. Andersson) but would love to shift to Lanzini.

    3. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      A

      I think the international break after 31 means he’s much more likely to get 30 31 and 33.

    Fab
    Pereira, Robbo, AWB
    Salah (c), Pogba, Lanzini, Mane
    Vardy, Higuain, Rashford

    Button, Hayden, Kola, Bennett

    FT1, 0.2ITB

    A) Pogba > Tielemans
    B) Pogba > Maddison
    C) Pogba & Rash > Tielemans & King (-4)
    D) Pogba & Rash > Maddison & King (-4)
    E) Other?

    Concerned about the Leicester triple up?

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Vardy is enough to have from leiceter tbf try going for bou mid mate

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Was contemplating Brooks/Fraser (Fraser's form has been pointed out). Also Vardy is flagged too?

    2. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      How about Brooks & King?

    3. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Have you considered Siggy?

      The fixtures aren’t so bad as they look if you factor in Chelsea and Arsenal away form.

      Brooks would be my next in line if you want to avoid triple Leicester (I’m in the same boat and don’t want to go there)

  18. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 7 Years

    Any Vardy training pictures or updates at all?

    Cheers in adv.

    1. HamezMace
      • 11 Years

      No updates, but after the game, BR;

      “It was unfortunate he had to come off,” the new Leicester boss said.
      “He just felt the effects of the collision in the first-half but we hope he will be alright in the next couple of days.”

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      He should play. Funny that in Rugby League more chance of him sitting out because of concussion protocols for player safety

    3. Dannywaz
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      He'll play against fulham

    Dont really know what to do to prep for GW31.

    Son & Aguero > Hazard and Higuin?
    i dont like getting rid of aguero but ill use my FH GW32

    Otherwise can bring in a combo of players: like maddison clyne and Fraser?

    any help or suggestions, really struggling with it

  20. Vobinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Is this squad worth a bench boost :

    Boruc, Heaton

    Rice, Diop, VVD, Robbo, Lascelles

    Mane, Sterling, Pogba, Maddison, Brooks

    Aguero, Vardy, King

    The only two I'm cagey about is Heaton and Lascelles, but Newcastle could get a CS at home to Everton and Heaton could rack up the save points v Liverpool.

    I've already used my WC so chances on building a BB squad for 35 is very unlikely.

    Thoughts?

      Trippel West Ham for weeks: Fabianski, Snodgrass and F. Andersson. If they all blank GW31 I will kill myself.

    What are some of the best excuses you've heard for why a team lost a game, following Klopp blaming the wind?

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      *lost or drew a game

    2. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Fergie famously blamed the colour of Manchester United's grey kits on them losing at Southampton, and they changed kit at half time. I think they still lost though. There's a good story about that told by Gary Neville on the Quickly Kevin podcast. It was actually a real thing, and Fergie had employed a 'vision coach' ...

    1 ft what would you do with this mess?

    Etheridge
    Robertson, bennett, yedlin
    Fraser, almiron, mane, pogba, erikson
    Vardy, aguero

    Bench, boruc, Higuaín, scook, awb

    1. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      what is this haha
      Get Higuain off the bench for a start, I think you need to do a hit here, involving Eriksen and a new defender like TAA or Luiz

      1. klopp it guys
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Erikson for who tho?

    2. No Kane No Gain
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Higuain on bench?! really!? i'd play him over most your midfield.

    3. Garlana
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I'd drop Almiron to the bench for Higuain

      If it all has to be done at once...maybe
      You know what a massive troll Hazard is though.

      Really like the moves for GW31 but I wouldn’t -4 Son or Pogba out this week, stagger them.

    I get the feeling people are favouring Clyne over Smith - why is that if so? Smith is 0.1 cheaper and seems to offer more going forward?

    jimenez to king worth it for free and for 2 weeks?! Want him back for the double but im not sure its worth the 2 transfers over the 3 gameweeks to make it happen.

    Current XI for GW 31:
    Fabianski
    TAA Luiz
    Mane Antonio
    Vardy

    Looking at Son + Rashford > Maddison/Lanzini + Higuain this week with 2FT. Y or N? and which?

    Will Chelsea have 2 double gameweeks in 32 and 35? Reason being I don't want to bring too many Chelsea in for 31 and 33 as FH in 32 if they haven't got one in 35?
