How FFScout users are preparing for Double Gameweek 32

Fantasy Football Scout users have submitted an excellent set of polls to help our preparation for Double Gameweek 32.

The questions range from chip strategy to how much we should trust Manchester City and Chelsea with their fixtures.

Not surprisingly, the most requested poll centred around which of the chips is best to play in this expanded round of fixtures.

Forever in Our Shadow, Trippier Hazard, Sebes Gusztav, Nimith Enzo, Ohlsay, Nat Kane Cole and PEP_TALK all wanted to know about this one.

Jimmy Hendrix and de quiney were both keen to challenge the thinking on Free Hitting in Double Gameweek 32, suggesting Blank Gameweek 33 as an alternative option.

We had a poll from Studsy25 who wanted to know the best way of preparing for Double Gameweek 32 for those without the Free Hit or Wildcard chips.

Another hugely popular question concerned the best way to capitalise on Manchester City’s two matches, against Fulham (away) and Cardiff (home).

DMil, BBC_TF, Toblerone52, Fossit, Karsa, LosBlancos, PEP_TALK and Masteryeoda all submitted some great polls on this subject, so we combined them into one.

Given their unpredictable nature in recent times, Scout users want to know what the consensus is on Chelsea, especially their defence.

This poll came in from Beercalona, Tomthewise1, Podorsky, The Beer Baron and Dusan Citizen.

Another popular poll concerns to what extent we even trust the Double Gameweek itself.

Forever in our Shadow, BKrisztian, Leakyman and Pamino all wanted to know how many single Gameweek players would be present in our squads for Double Gameweek 32.

BenjoBD takes that question one step further to identify how many Liverpool players will be present in our Double Gameweek 32 squads.

Of those who have two matches, it does look difficult to cram all of the premium heavy hitters in.

For that reason, Saint & Reevesy, AdAdityan and FFSBullets want to know which of those we are most likely to leave out.

Finally, Diverpool wants to know to what extent Scout users are worried about rotation ahead of the FA Cup semi-finals.

Manchester City, Brighton, Watford and Wolves will be participating in the competition’s last four stages several days after their midweek Double Gameweek 32.

        But why? 😛

          Why not ? 😉

    2. No Salah

      I have gone B

    3. RIDZ
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      A for penalty spot

    4. wernerhedgehog
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      B.

      1) Deulofail has a higher ceiling.
      2) Fulham (H). More likely to be benched against Utd.

    On FH

    Best 6m DGW MFer for this front 8

    Sterling Pogba Alli Noble xxxxxxx

    Aguero Higuain Batshuyi

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Deulofeu?

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Deulofeu

    3. George James
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Can I ask why have Noble on FH? Are you playing him?

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        Has to play 3 def, 1 keeper, so only one of Noble and that 6m mid will play. He's got his strategy wrong, somewhat.

  4. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Going to be my first time owning Sterling next gw on FH.

    Citys mids has really burned me this season

    Bilva + Sane has got be just a single goal in combined 9 pl games

  5. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Pick a combo
    A-Lukaku Mili (Peltier)
    B-Kane Boly (CHO)
    the player in brackets will be on the bench, with kane its a 4-3-3, with lukaku, its 3-4-3.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      A

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        Made a few more changes, which one? Azpi more secure i guess

        A-Lukaku Mili Azpi (Connelly) (3-4-3)
        B-Kane Boly Luiz (CHO) (4-3-3)

        1. No Salah
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          A just became even better 😛

          1. The Red Devil
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 5 days ago

            trusting Kane more than lukaku, that too in a DGW, just seems so odd! 😛

            1. Slitherene
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 5 days ago

              Just coz you're a United supporter, you feel that way. It's the other way round for us.

              1. The Red Devil
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 5 days ago

                Jeez, my bad, i meant it the other way around, trusting lukaku more than kane seems odd.
                what do you think of my two combo options?

                1. Slitherene
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 5 days ago

                  A seems better.

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          A Looks great

  6. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    I really have to do something different from the group think, it’s like being brain washed on here lol 🙂

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      It seems that way, but it’s juat because the options are that obvious. What differentials are you considering?

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      He he
      Some players pick themselves though.
      Hazard, Sterling,Kun,Pogba.
      So team's are bound to be similar
      7-8 player's will be same in every FH team i think.

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      lack of options is an issue, not really a good week to FH but it fits well with fixtures

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        I'm trying hard to find some different players 😮

      2. Cruz88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        You say that but surely a lot of people used their FH already and can't build the teams we are. Even if ours are mostly the same, it's hopefully a good team for this week 🙂

      3. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        It is really a case of suffering if you don't free hit.
        TC Kun can make up all the ground I will be losing without the FH chip.

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          TC Aguero might gain 20 points, I'd be disappointed if my FH doesn't exceed that

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 5 days ago

            I agree. FH is better but I could get Lucky.
            I have all the FH suspects in my side and I am looking for Barnes Wilson and Mane to be 10 points short of your FH choices. a long shot admitadly.

    4. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      i think Kane could be my differential, unless i'm washed away by the majority of the thinking on here.

    5. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Considered doubling up as a differential? While most have one Chelsea or United defender, you have two of each so gain on those teams (assuming both CS) easily affordable.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        Good idea Freddo. But do you expect Utd to keep 2 cleansheets? Chelsea may concede as well. My draft has Luiz and Kepa with no Utd defence but even then am not sold just yet

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          Who knows mate, I do think Wolves and Watford will have one eye on Wembley though which is good for United.

          1. ZeBestee
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 5 days ago

            Here's hoping. 5 days is also sufficient for preparation so the coaches may as well prepare their teams by playing their best players in the PL. Cheers.

    6. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      In a double game week it’s the midfielders that get rotated the most, but most FH teams are midfield heavy ? .... all the discussions and decisions are about the best players (but many will only start one game) rather than best players for the best formation to maximise the DGW

      Every year we have posters on here slagging off the PL managers and calling them all sorts of names for rotating the ‘obvious picks’, yet every year we still pick them .... do we ever learn ? 🙂

      1. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        See what happens on here when Sterling or Aguero are on the bench for the first game.

        1. Naboo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          Pogba and hazard are nailed but sterling will surely troll us all

          1. noquarternt
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 5 days ago

            Yeah I dunno, there's always something funny. Like Salah scoring 4 goals or something.

      2. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        And every year, we realise DGW DEFs dominate the Dream Team for the GW

    7. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      don't come on here?

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        I leave before I believe the hype 🙂

  7. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Foster | Patricio
    Robertson | AWB | Digne | Pereira | Kelly
    Hazard | Sterling | Salah | Felipe | Camarasa
    Rondon | King | Arnie

    2FT and 0.1 itb.

    How does Salah, Felipe, Arnie to Eriksen/Alli, Deulofeu and Kun for a -4 look?
    Would you do Digne to City defender for another hit?

    Planning to play TC in 32 and FH in 33.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Dont think Deu is worth a hit. What will be the budget of mid if you do just Arnautovic to Kun and Salah to xxx

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        8.4 for XXX. Can probably get Martial.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          Does dropping Patricio to Boruc allows Pogba?

  8. oi no professionals
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    A. Kepa + Laporte
    B. Ederson + Luiz

    1. JRO093
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Currently in city go che def but not really sure why 😀

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      B as Luiz has a bit more attacking threat than Laporte.

    3. RIDZ
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      B for attacking threat

    4. Scotty B
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      A

  9. Dannywaz
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Ryan babel ??

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      He is decent and Fulham are better offensively in the last few gameweeks so worth a punt. I wouldn't expect much though tbh.

    2. Dannywaz
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Decent enabler who's defo going to play 2 games

    3. wernerhedgehog

        You won't change any prices?

    • cescpistols111
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Moves for just this GW?

      A. F.Anderson -> Son (-4)
      B. Robertson -> Laporte (-4)
      C. Robertson + F.Anderson -> Laporte + Eriksen (-8)
      D. Any other move?

      Ryan - Hamer
      
Kolasinac - AwB - Shaw - Doherty - Robbo

      Pogba - Hazard - Sterling - F.Anderson - Brooks
      
Rashford - Jimenez - Vardy

    • skypopo
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Hi

      A) Son + Zaha / Bat
      B) Mili / Townsend + higuian

      which one looks better please?

      1. skypopo
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        Given that I have hazard already, should i double up their attack? while zaha vs hudders and son icould surprise us

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        A for me this week only

    • Karan14
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Assuming Lukaku, Rash & Zaha all are fit which option do you prefer out of these?

      A) Kaku, Zaha, Azpi, Smalling, Laporte & Schlupp
      B) Kaku, Rashford, Milivojevic, Luiz, Laporte & AWB
      C) Rashford, Zaha, Milivojevic, Azpi, Smalling & Laporte
      D) Rashford, Zaha, D.Silva, Azpi, Smalling & PVA

      Appreciate your thoughts! 🙂

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        (A), not even close

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          Cheers mate! That was the option I was leaning towards too.

          1. Lionel Ronaldo
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 5 days ago

            You should add "Assuming AWB is fit" too 🙂

      2. 007 [RoboKlopp]

        A

      3. Naboo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        D for me

    • RIDZ
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Why Hazard > Higuain? That 1.3 might upgrade somewhere else

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        Hazard is a far better player than Higuian. Punting on Hig may pay off as well but he hasn't impressed me so far.

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        For non free hitters, Higgy a good choice as he plays GW33. I agree with the poor eye test though.

    • Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Players I can see playing only half the minutes available in GW32
      Rash kaku Martial Jota Jimi Delboy Schlupp Sterling Sane Luiz Rudiger Son
      With those names would it not be wise to play nailed SGW players such Mane Wilson Barnes?

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        There's always one SGW player who outscores some of your DGWers. I'm considering playing Mane, but he takes a lot of tje budget - and DGW planning fun!

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          I agree but then again I have no FH chip so my tactics will be different to most.

      2. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        Richarlison away to West Ham.. haha

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          Smile

    • ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Chelsea fans, how many minutes do you expect these 2 to play out of the 180?

      1) Pedro
      2) Willian

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        Both start atleast one.

    • Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Provided Zaha is confirmed fit, which would you be more confident with?

      (1) Zaha / Luiz
      (2) Azpilicueta / Batshuayi

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        I think 2.

      2. Bavarian
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        2

      3. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        Cheers, guys.

      Who utilities FF Fix here?
      My 8 DGW's in 32 indicate a total of 110 points.
      I would be interested in knowing FH junkies projected scores.
      I know it is not that accurate.

      1. Dannywaz
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        128 here

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          My 3 SGW players are Wilson Barnes Mane.
          Interested to know who your weakest DGW players to make an extra 18 points.

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

        I’m averaging around 124 from eleven. But something tells me their formula doesn’t factor in rotation.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          All DGW players will make the bench fairly meaningless

      3. Baaaaar-racuda
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        The highest I can get is 134

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          The team would be interesting

    • Dannywaz
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      What about gundogan has a punt pops up with goals every now and again

      1. wernerhedgehog
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        I'd rather have a City Def in that case.

        A mid table midfielder can do a similar job.

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        If not playing for Citeh he would be a good call but Ederson/Laporte double cleanie is more realistic IMO.

    • Halmari Tea
      • 5 Years

      as a chelsea fan and hazard capper is it crazy to triple captain higuain instead of hazard?
      higuain shoots on sight and has 2 weeks to recover from his fever. if hazard doesnt score chelsea usually loose or draw however with higuain i think they are taking many more chances

      Long story short
      higuain TC over hazard?

        Hazard we all know can troll.
        The higgy decision could hurt you though.
        Kun for me.

        I'd TC Aguero or Sterling first. But definitely Hazard after them.

      Is Hazard essential? Stats arent looking that great.

        Big Ceiling player. For a 1 game punt i wouldn't, but he has 2.

        Hazard could score a penalty in each game and easily get 20 points. That's the appeal.

      3. Another Hoops

        Best attacking option from Chelsea and 2 great fixtures. Not essential but defo has potential to get about 20 points over 2 games

    • Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      A) Kepa + Luiz + Laporte + Alli + Rashford

      OR

      B) Ederson + Lindelof + Duffy + Deulofeu/Deeney + Kane

      No point fitting in Kane with this setup, right?

      How would you improve this DGW32 team?

      Ryan, Hamer
      Luiz, Duffy, Schlupp
      Hazard, Sterling, Pogba, DSilva
      Kun, Higuain, Rashford

      What if something strange happens?
      Citeh and Chelski fail.

      Any necessary changes on this FH team to make?

      Ederson (Boruc)

      Luiz / Duffy / Schlupp / AWB (Saiss)

      Sterling (c) / Haz / Pogba (CH-O)

      Kun / Kane / Bats

      Thanks

        Cathcart for Schlupp or awb

      2. Another Hoops
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        It's fine. Maybe Batman to Zaha but otherwise G2G.

    • Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      A) Ederson and Duffy
      B) Laporte and Ryan

      Scared of Laporte rotation but B has higher ceiling due to goal threat and save points

      1. Another Hoops
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        I think the ceiling is low on this one. A.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          Hmmm maybe, I'd prefer B if Laporte was guaranteed. Guess I see what pep says

    • Eze Really?
      • 9 Years

      Guessing Rash is not playing DGW32 my final NON FH team
      Paricio (Fab)
      Luiz Doherty Schlupp (Digne Perreira)
      Pogba Hazard Sterling Pedro Mane
      Kun (TC) Wilson (Barnes)
      Any improvement outside of Luiz and Doherty gametime questioned?

        You gonna transfer Rashford out, or never owned him?

        Very similar to my team, so like it 🙂

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          He went 2 weeks ago.

    • b91jh
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Feeling good with the current draft

      Kepa
      Laporte Lindelof Schlupp Luiz
      Sterling Haz Pogba Deulofeu
      Kane Kun

      But also considering this if Lukaku+Zaha are both fit.

      Kepa
      Laporte Schlupp Luiz
      Sterling Haz Pogba
      Lukaku Zaha Kun
      +either Deulofeu or Smalling

      Which team looks better?

    • gryffsonofarthur
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      A) Ederson, Doherty, Luiz

      OR

      B) Kepa, Smalling, Laporte

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        B for gametime
