Introducing FPL Think Tank

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.

    Clearly an almost unanswerable question but, going on rumours/ gut-feel, how nailed do you think Sterling (WAT) is for GW30?

    He would be a nice differential for the armband in my cash ML if he plays and does well vs Salah (BUR) who is the safe choice.

    What do you reckon?

    1. i am jose mourinho
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Ill cap him too

    2. Webbinho
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      what rumours?

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I mean if people had heard anything that have their finger closer to the MCI pulse than me

    3. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I think he's more nailed than Aguero, but nobody knows tbu

    4. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah he could still be pretty fresh and is surely guaranteed a start against a side who can easily put five past them. I have fond memories of him as a differential cap back in (November?) when he scored me 42 points 🙂

      They have a full week off this week, and what you would assume is a pretty comfortable CL game next week, and then the Cup against a Championship team.

      I'd say, 95% he starts this weekend in the PL.
      and will be rested/benched in one of the two games that follow.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Would fit beautifully with my plan to Cap this week then switch for Haz for GW31/33

        Cheers

    Which pair would you prefer to have for 30, 31 and 33?
    A) Apzi and Boruc (means no BOU attack)
    B) Brooks and Fabianski (no CHE defence, plus a price loss of 0.2)

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Prob B because of points potential

  3. Fabregasm
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I'd absolutely love to transfer in a midfielder costing about 5 to 6, who has a DGW 32 and a fixture in GW33, but who do you think is most likely to do so? And yes, I have been looking in the spreadsheet navigation the blanks and doubles 🙂

    A) Redmond
    B) Deulofeu
    C) Pedro
    D) Someone else

      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Iwobi? @5.4 getting minutes and less sporadic than Pedro, although Pedro a better prospect. I went mkhi but he's 6.8

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Does anyone have a DGW 32 and a game in 33?

  4. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Even if money wasn't an issue, would you rather have (31 and 33)…
    A) Vardy
    B) Barnes
    C) J. King

    1. i am jose mourinho
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      King for sure

    2. Webbinho
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A

    3. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A

    4. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Wilson or vardy

    5. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A

    6. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

    7. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A

  5. No Salah
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    What’s the thought on Lanzini?

    Who would be your favourite West Ham attacker for GW30-33?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      What about chicha ??

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes - I'd pick Lanzini for sure. Looking sharp, plays centrally, good relationship with Anderson building.

  6. Boris Bodega
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone have a clear idea of when they will be using their Triple captain chip, and who will you use it on?
    I'm genuinely stuck for when I am going to use this.

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      yeah not sure atm but not fussed about it even if i have to use it in a single gw

    2. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I am really sold on using it on Sané for a double gameweek 27 with good fixtures. That extra one point might make all the difference this season.

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Hmm it might have been 25 in fact 🙂

    3. Webbinho
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Probably GW 35 and bench boost on a single week, possibly this week.

    4. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      WEEK 3: one goal for Salah vs Brighton.

    5. Bird Raymond
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Such an overrated chip. Best to just use it on a single gameweek during the course of the season and get it out of the way. Same thing happens every year, people keep hold of it for too long and their options are narrowed to the last few weeks of the season.

      1. Boris Bodega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Help me get 75 points off one player last season.

        1. Bird Raymond
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          You could have got 50 of those points from a normal captaincy. Plus whatever you got from triple captaining a single gameweeker. A nice boost if you get it right of course but not season defining.

    6. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      Glen Murray in Brighton's rogue DGW

    7. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'm sticking with Pogba DGW 32

  7. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Which transfer plan scores more points in Gw30 ,31 and 33 ?

    Using 1 ft Gw30 and next 2 transfers in Gw31 for a -4 . Fh32

    A)Chilwell for Gw30 ,
    Chilwell - Mane - Adam Smith(or)Clyne for Gw31,Gw33

    A. Barnes (liv)

  11. John Colby (Capt)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Currently have 2 Liverpool players in Robertson and Salah but only Higuaín of Chelsea. Rival has Robertson and Mané and Hazard. Should I triple up on Liverpool with TAA or Mane or Double up Chelsea with bringing in Hazard?

    1. Webbinho
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      3 x Liverpool for me

    2. Bodie
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I’d get Virgil or Trent in!
      Liverpool have the best performing defence in the league!!

      1. John Colby (Capt)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers lads

  12. Jealous Viper
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Do i get VVD, Maddison or Fraser with my second transfer. Plan on using the first to get King

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Probably VVD imo

  13. toystory2wasok
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    got 2 FT, need to use one this week. planning on FH 32, so have BGW 31 in mind:

    A)
    30: jimi, pogba > higuain, fanderson (lose 0.4 with pogba sale)
    31: sterling > hazard

    B)
    30: sane > fanderson (don't have sane for plum fixture)
    31: sterling, jimi > hazard, higuain

    unfortunately i can't afford jimi > hig in isolation 🙁

    1. toystory2wasok
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      or
      C)
      30: jimi > vardy
      31: sterling, sane > haz, 10.5(?)

  14. Bodie
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Tempted to use my triple captain chip this week, Sterling or Aguero?!
    Or are both too much of a risk from being on the bench?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      You could but I’m tempted with Salah against Fulham during 31

    2. toystory2wasok
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      feels like too much of a lottery this week 🙁

      1. Bodie
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers!! I think I’ll hold off...

  15. Ajax Hamsterdam

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years

    Guys I want to bring in 3 more players for blank 31 giving me 9 in total.

    Sterling ➡️ Hazard
    Rashford ➡️ Wilson
    Jota ➡️ Lanzini

    Have i got rid of the right players??

    Want to keep Pogba and Jimenez coz iv money tied up in them.

    Have Siggy too so no point selling him when he played 31.

    Have 1.6m itb after these moves for my FH and WC to get some guys back.

    1. King Kohli
      • 11 Years

  17. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    hello all, got 3 FTs until gw 31, but it feels weird to drop either of Son/Sterling/Aguero to achieve my gw 31 team.

    2 FTs now.
    Fab, Steele
    TAA, Luiz, Doherty, Pereira, AWB
    Salah, Sterling, Son, Pogba, Gunnarsson
    Aguero, Jimenez, Barnes

    0.2itb.

    My plan is to do -4:
    Hazard, Brooks, Robertson, Vardy for
    Sterling, Gunnarsson, AWB and Aguero

    Can't seem to do it without downgrading either Sterling/Aguero this week. Any suggestions?

  18. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Which two of these would you get for gw 31 & 33?
