How Scout Membership can help Fantasy managers in 2019/20

Full-season Fantasy Football Scout subscriptions are still available for £17.50 – that’s the equivalent of less than 39p a week.

Over the years we have added to the benefits that our Members enjoy and we will be re-investing back into the site to enhance it further in 2019/20.

The most recent addition was the new Flat-Track Bully tool, which allows Members to conduct research in greater detail.

Using this new feature (pictured below) you can exclude/include certain teams (i.e. the ‘big six’) when scrolling through the various tabs in our Player Stats section.

This will help you identify players who perhaps perform better against weaker opposition and even those who thrive against the top teams like Raúl Jiménez did in 2018/19.

We also recently put a call out for web developers and we have a number of other site improvements in the pipeline that will hopefully help our subscribers even more.

If you’re new to the benefits of Fantasy Football Scout membership, you can get full details, along with a series of movies previewing the content, via this page.

In 2018/19 we published more Members’ articles than ever before and there will be at least 150 such pieces in the 2019/20 campaign.

We also introduced Members-only comments and Hot Topics to allow for detailed discussions of content behind the pay-wall.

Our Projections and Rate My Team tools (below) have both been tweaked, with RMT’s Professor – aka Chris Atkinson – elaborating on the changes in a recent Hot Topic.

Reigning Fantasy Premier League champion Adam Levy is a paid-up Member of our site and he discussed what tools of ours he finds most useful in a recent interview.

In previous seasons we’ve helped FPL winners Tom Fenley and Simon March, while in 2015/16 we were thrilled to see Ed Masters – the winner of that year’s Members’ League – finish third in the overall rankings.

In 2017/18, Paul Gee went one better. He won our Members’ League and finished second, losing out to champion Yusuf Sheikh by just eight points.

We are hugely grateful to those who show their support by signing up as a Member each season. This continues to enable us to maintain the site, grow the Fantasy Football Scout team and develop more ideas.

Here are just some of the features you can enjoy as a subscriber:

Head-to-Head Comparisons

Compare both teams and players head to head.

Match Analysis

Analysis of every Premier League match (going back to 2011/12!), together with charts which plot average positions and our collection of heatmaps for touches, shots, chances created among other statistics.

Custom Stats Tables

Members can also create custom tables based on the data and share them with other subscribers (an example from last season is shown above).

Perhaps the most famous of these is Joe’s Goals Imminent table, which looks to predict which underperforming assets will find the net next.

Customisable Season Ticker

Sort by fixture difficulty and find out which teams’ matches rotate well using our customisable Season Ticker.


Be sure to check out all the other benefits of signing up as a member here. A full FAQ on our Members’ Area is also available here.

If you’ve any feedback or suggestions of content that you’d like to see added to the Members’ Area, then please feel free to drop us a line at support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.

      Deulofeu

      1. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Played 500 min less than Deeney last season, scored 1 more goal than him. Also lower yellow or red card risk with Deulofeu.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Enigmatic player.
          I have a feeling he is going to have a breakthrough season

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Hello
      Deulofeu for me
      Deeney is a walking RC

    4. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Deulofeu all day.

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Thanks all

  2. Little fekirs

    Imagine Salah blanks V Norwich...

    There would be a meltdown here

    1. i am jose mourinho
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      This

    2. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Salah v Norwich
      Auba v Newcastle
      Kane v Villa

      You just know there is a hat-trick and a blank in that list.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        And a cameo too 😀
        Good Ebening !!

      2. Little fekirs
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It better be Kane with the hat-trick

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Kane & Hattrick .....
          Don't feel it tbh.
          Mo Hattrick is more realistic

          1. Klaren
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Considering it’s August, Kane hattrick is pretty much impossible.

          2. Little fekirs
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Salah has 2 PL hat tricks.

            Kane has 8....

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Tides have turned now bro.
              Salah is a oop striker.
              Kane is a oop CM

              1. Little fekirs
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Salah will get his points,but they come in more steadily over the season where guys like Kane, Aguero and Sterling are more explosive.

                Kane severely underrated as an FPL asset.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I would be delighted no salah for me treble liverpool defence.
      Two TAA assists, a robertson assist and a VVD headed goal would suit me grand.

      1. European Bob
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Considering this also, what's the rest of your squad if you don't mind me asking?

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Oh just saw this now.
          It is -
          4-3-3

          Ryan (button)

          VVD-Robertson-TAA-Coleman-(Azpileceuta)

          Fraser-Sigurdsson-KDB-(Dendocker-Trybull)

          Wilson-King-Kane

          Plan is to phase in more chelsea maybe Burnle leicester after a few weeks for the Bornmouth lads.
          Will also move out VVD gw3 for whoever is looking like a value pick with good fixtures.
          Trying to maximise the first few gameweeks and hopefully other players who are going sterling/salah.
          Hinges on lIverpool clean sheets, Bournmouth doing well in the first two and Kane starting well

      2. Little fekirs
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        No Salah me either.

        Sterling and Kane all the way.

    4. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I mean, a lot of people who are serious about the game will have him so it wouldn't be a huge deal in my opinion.

      1. Little fekirs
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Why not get ahead of the pack instead of just staying near/in it ?

  3. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Having Wilson, which other forward would you choose?

    King, Jota or Deulofeu?

    Cheers mates

    1. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Vardy

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He just asked which of three 6.5 forwards to get and you suggest one at 9.0? How is that helpful?

        "I need a 7.0 midielder. Any suggestions?"

        "Get Salah."

      2. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        This

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Jota

    3. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Bale

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Deulofeu
      Jota after 4/5 gw's

    5. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Deulofeu. Having 2 Bournemouth strikers is too much and Jota’s fixtures first few GWs aren’t great.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I disagree they are great for the first two. and can transfer wilson out for a chelsea striker gw3.

        1. Klaren
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Watford has great fixtures too though.

          1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Your'e right in fairness, they do.
            I suppose it depends on any rough future strategy you have in a few gameweeks.

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

      I'd go for Deulofeu, of those.

  4. i am jose mourinho
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Who will replace mane in gw 1. Origi ???

    1. IRBOX âš½
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Origi or Shaq

    2. Little fekirs
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yep.

      Think Origi will start the first 2-3 gw’s.

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Shaq
      Origi will play for Bobby 😉
      (If he's not fit for 1st match after international exertions)

      1. Bird Raymond
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thought Shaqiri was injured whereas Origi will have had a full pre-season.

      2. Kloppcorn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I think Brewster will get his chance to start

  5. alfast1c
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Morning doubts:

    What's better -->
    A) Sterling, Wilson, Zaha (or other 7mil) vs
    B) BSilva, Kane( or Aubameyang), Siggy (or other 8 mil).

    Is it worth having Sterling so early? We can even play Aguero instead if we go for Bernardo.

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A with Perez over Zaha and upgrade somewhere with the extra 0.5

      1. alfast1c
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Think its too much Perez and Madison imo.

        1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Able to find .5 for Fraser?

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling is essential imo so A for me.

    3. European Bob
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A with Sanchez. Been set with a 20 goal target this season

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        No he hasn’t lol ole has no intention of putting him near the first team. 3rd choice winger

      2. alfast1c
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        haha nice1 😉

  6. Chelsea91

    Ederson
    Robbo,VVD,Laporte,Coleman
    Sterling,Salah,Fraser,Perez
    Jota,Deu

    Will monitor on King seems he might not start, appreciate on the comment?

    1. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nice, if not a bit template..

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        king or deu ? This is so hard for me.

        1. The Wanton Trader
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I prefer King, but you also have Fraser. Not sure I’d fancy doubling up on Bournemouth attack even if they have the fixtures.

          1. Chelsea91
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Fraser and Deu is good combo?

    Another repeat reminder to any of The Hall of Fame top thousand ranked managers...if you indeed qualify you’re welcome to join the new league ‘Top 1K Career HOF’ code=(beeps2)....not to be confused with ‘Top 1k ANY Season’

    1. LSK
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      How do you join the HOF?

      1. Chaballer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        You have to join the FFS league & then they’ll place your career into a rank...will probs need to update when season starts and take a little while to place you though...

        1. LSK
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Ah right, cool. I have joined the league, didn't know if I had to link my team here as well. Should be added soon enough then.

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

    A) Siggy King Nketiah (442)
    B) Hayden Vardy DCL (433)

    Cheers

    1. Hedge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      If you're playing Nketiah or Hayden, back to the drawing board!

      If benched then A provided you have a playing sub

      1. Goonermeister
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        They would be bench fodder yeah

        1. Stockport Hatter
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          A in that case

  9. Amey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    DDG signs 6 year contract worth 117m£ !!!
    😮

    1. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      19.5m a year is not too much for a keeper like De Gea in today’s market.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        You're right.
        But, sheer number of ££ per week just baffles me 😀

    2. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Will earn every penny of that this season playing behind that defence...

      1. Amey

        1. Ask Yourself

          Wow after their performances last year that is beyond hilarious

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Unreal

    4. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Alexis Sanchez effect so don't blame de Gea one bit.

      This is the result of arrogance and self proclaimed entitlement from Woodward and Mourinho.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yep
        Clearly ruining the club!!

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Hope he gets his act back together this year

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Aye
        Him getting back to his best alongside us signing a CB can be a good foundation for a better season

    6. Little fekirs
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Surely they can sell Henderson now.

  10. Takamba
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy + Pope (+ Coleman)

    or

    Giroud + Ederson (+ Digne) (or any other £7.0m or lower striker)

  11. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    How's my latest iteration looking:

    Ederson, Button
    VVD, Robertson, Digne, Taylor, Lundstram
    Salah, Sterling, Pérez, Fraser, Dendoncker
    Wilson, Deulofeu, Greenwood

    1. Hedge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Like it

  12. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on this no city attack team?

    Ryan
    TAA VVD Coleman Zinchenko
    Salah Fraser Perez Robinson
    Kane Auba

    Button Greenwood Dendonker Lundstram

    1. IRBOX âš½
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No city attack is suicide

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        😀
        Having Auba is nearly same tbh.
        Rotation frenzy at Arsenal.

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Unless you’re the club’s number one striker and have a manager desperate to fit both of them into his 4231 so he can have his two best players in the 11. Both should be regulars next year

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            You think he was second striker at club last season ??
            How match did he sit out and had cameos ??
            Too expensive for this sh.t IMHO bro

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Many matches*

            2. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              He was first laca second. Now he wants Auba in his preferred RW position where he is most dangerous. Look at how many games Auba played until Europa league got serious last year

      2. Emp

    RMT please.
    Pope
    Zinchenko Robbo TAA Gibson (Donk)
    Salah Sterling Perez Brooks (Donkers)
    Wilson Vardy (Greenwood)

    1. Doctor Zhivago

      Dont like Pope and Zinchenko is a wait&see atm. Great front 6 imo! Love the Brooks pick, well done mate

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks bud, not 100% on Gibson and zinchenko but waiting to see Franks choice of defenders

    2. alfast1c
      • 13 Years

      Why all the Perez love?

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Very attacking midfielder and manager in BR. I do honestly think he will do well this year. Did well with a very average Newcastle midfield

        1. sumatera
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          This

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        In an attacking side, he's basically an OOP striker, extra points for a goal and clean sheet. Think this season's King or Jota.

      3. Doctor Zhivago
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        The way he plays (on the right flank cutting inside) is very very Mahrezesque... Goals are coming

    3. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I’d go for another keeper instead of Pope (even in 4.5 bracket) because of rotation risk and bad starting fixtures but otherwise it looks good.

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        How is FOSTER? I had him for 70% of last season and he stayed consistent. Watford have GREAT opening fixtures

  15. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Plan to do Wilson + Fraser -> Haller + Son GW3

    To get them in which combo should I have:

    1. KDB + Richarlison
    2. Sterling + £5.5m

    1. Doctor Zhivago
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      5.5 mids are awful, i'd go A

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Could have a defender or striker, however

        1. Doctor Zhivago
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Coleman? AWB?

        2. Doctor Zhivago
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Siggy better tha Richy on the long term, i'd say

  16. Doctor Zhivago
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Please RMT:

    Lloris
    TAA VVD Digne
    Sterling Norwood Salah Perez Fraser
    Wilson Jota

    Bench: Button, Lascelles, Lundstram, Greenwood

    1. Hedge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Don't know about Norwood but rest looks good. Ederson over Lloris?

      1. Doctor Zhivago
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I submitted time ago the question about KDB+Laporte (A) vs Sterling+Norwood (B), and someone made me think saying that A brings more points than B, but B has "captain points" hidden inside.
        I had Ederson in my very first draft, went Pickford for a while, then opted to Lloris because of consistency, clean sheets and save points (average 140 pts in last 3 seasons)

        1. Hedge
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I'd be tempted to downgrade Wilson to King and use that to upgrade Lloris and Norwood

          1. Doctor Zhivago
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Ok, i see your point. Wilson to King means +1.5, so Norwood (5.0) becomes? Brooks, Laporte, who else?

            1. Hedge
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              They're probably the standout two. Does leave you less flexible with your striker price points so worth considering that too

              1. Doctor Zhivago
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Agree. I had a draft also with
                Ryan
                TAA VVD Coleman
                KDB Sterling Salah Norwood Fraser
                King Jota
                But i dont trust ryan and brighton defence at all...

  17. The Wanton Trader

    How’s this for a rare 3-4-3...

    Ryan
    VVD Coleman Zinch
    Yarmo Salah KDB Perez
    Vardy King Kane

    Button Dendonk Fredericks Rico/4.0?

    Nice little Yarmo punt and forget Vahrez, it’s going to be all about Perdy this year... 🙂

    1. sumatera
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Sterling KDB is a dilemma

      1. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I can get him in but it means going lighter at the back.

        1. sumatera
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Yeah my dilemma too

          1. The Wanton Trader

      Yarmo nowhere near nailed I like the perdy though. Great team minus yarmo and Ryan

      1. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He’s a punt, granted, but I’m pretty confident on him, IF he can stay fit for while. Will obviously keep an eye on preseason...

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I think pelle prefers Antonio and Anderson on the RW for now (with Lanzini on the left in the latter case). Could have been gold but he has been poor pre season

          1. The Wanton Trader
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Will definitely be keeping a close eye on it, for sure. I think I’ve got pretty solid foundations to build from. Thanks

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'm firmly against Kane over Raz so not for me.
      Like the balance in the team though.

      If i go Yarmalenko it will be because of your confidence in him 😀 hyping up his prospects do you...

      1. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He’s a good punt for 6mil imo..

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

      As 343s go it's not bad. Maybe a bit inflexible at the back if Digne is outperforming Coleman or Zinchenko gets dropped and you want Laporte.

      Only one pool defender likely to hurt every time they get a clean sheet

      1. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        If Coleman is not performing I’ll change him to whichever Liverpool 5.5 shows itself. Got Fredericks to cover any Zinch rotation which I’m pretty happy with. Thanks

  18. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    One way to build your team is to look from GW2 set of fixtures. It's easy to get caught up in GW1, but the game is beyond that.

    West Ham for example, have a wonderful set of fixtures. The likes Fabianski, Diop, Anderson and Haller are as good picks as the Bournemouth guys, if not better imo.

    1. sumatera
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      West Ham diabolical in preseason so far but preseason might mean Jack...

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah i’m not worried pelle’s not put the first team out yet

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Is Fredericks first choice RB pal?

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I recommend building for GW1 and 2 then WC GW3 with the huge fixture swing so you aren’t Blinded by fixtures at all and have players so much better than the template picks, also knowing about form and naildness

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I personally don't WC that early but there's many ways to play the game. If you go with proven assets in the main, it's very unlikely you would need to WC.

    3. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Agree.
      Look up. I’ve got Yarmo in there and Fredericks on bench for that exact reason...

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Good advice BB
      Yarmalenko in my list of contenders atm

    5. IRBOX âš½
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      100%. Leicester have an awful first 2 months imo and I don’t get they hype in Pérez/Vardy etc to begin with for this reason.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Vardy is fixture proof though.

      2. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Perez will prove to be good value given his price and positioning, but maybe when the fixtures ease up a bit. FPL is all about timing, not sure getting Perez from the off is the best move. You can get him at any point really.

        As for Vardy, he's an exception. He's a proven FPL entity and in particular against tough opponents. I definitely see the logic in that pick.

      3. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Perdy could be golden despite fixtures..

    6. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      This is why I favor Wilson over King.
      Easy downgrade to Haller GW3 if Haller has done well the first two.

    7. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Generally I agree with this. Specifically cant see westham defence improving. They just cant defend and it seems to be that Pellegrini dont care.

    8. Little fekirs
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The problem is Wilson and Fraser are the head of BOU attack and will be involved in almost all of their goals.

      West ham are diabolical when in comes to defence and Haller is unproven/untested.

      But I do agree that we need to be more open minded and look deeper than 2 weeks, but no more than 6/7 imo.

  19. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    This Mendy injury really looks to be a bit of a game changer

    5.5 for a nailed (?) City LB seems nearly too good to be true

    24.0 for Laporte, Zinky, Sterling appears to be quite reasonable

    27.0 for KDB, Zinky, Sterling similarly reasonable

    21.5 for Laporte, Zinky, KDB

    Whichever way you cut it, a treble City is eminently feasible

    1. IRBOX âš½
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      21.0 for Ederson, Zinchenko, KDB even better

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Now that’s 21.0 that is going a seriously long way

        Wouldn’t be for me personally as Sterling puts the absolute fear of God into me

        But superb value there - only wrinkle might be the exit strategy from Zinky if/when he did get dropped but that might not come for a long time the way Things are shaping up

    2. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The huge question is - can the LB spot be nailed by anyone. If not, then it's a transfer waiting to happen.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        With Mendy injured though & Angelino new to things... plus Zinchenko’s solidity there for the final third of last season....

        I think he’s might be pretty close to having it nailed tbh

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I'm going big with Sterling, Kev and Zinky.

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            That’s got points written all over it tbf

            I want to be a few games late for KDB though rather than early

            I need to see him twisting & turning & shipping tackles from dirty DM’s & aggressive hatchet men fullbacks in two or three full premier league games to be sure his knees aren’t permanently gone

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years

        That’s the beauty of FPL, there’s more than one way to skin a cat & it could work out just fine 🙂

      I like it alot except for Ryan. Excellent though

    2. IRBOX âš½

      Double Brighton defence?

      1. McSauce

        ye agreed on the brighton,

        Lascelles??

        1. IRBOX âš½
          • 7 Years

          Balbuena or Diop ?

    3. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years

      Pretty similar to mine, went Kun over sterling tho.

      Ederson
      Robbo Laporte Coleman dunk
      Salah Perez pereyra
      Kane Kun king

      Button Jorginho dendo kelly

      1. McSauce

        like that aswell

        I just prefer the clean sheet points and 5 for goal for sterling think that adds the value

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Yea tough one this. Have Kun for now, might swap him for sterling closer to time.

      2. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years

        Sorry ederson is pope

    4. Tinmen
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I like it.

      What about downgrading Zinchenko or Coleman to a 4.5 and upgrade Greenwood to Origi with your extra Liverpool spot. Then play 3-4-3

      1. McSauce
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        ye fair one! just origi is only for 1-2 games so your stuck having to sub him out but fair shout

  21. Ajax Hamsterdam

    Nketiah or greenwood will hardly get any minutes this season right ?

    1. sumatera

      Wait and see on this. Alot will have these as bench fodder

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam

        Thanks

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Few starts but I'm tipping Greenwood to get significant minutes off the bench. Question is, will you put him in your starting line up if he only comes on on 70 mins? My feeling is that sometimes I probably will.

      1. Vobinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He's in my current XI due to the fact I can fit in 10 big hitters, so makes me think I can afford a few cameos from a 4.5

  22. eduk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Any chance Alonso will be back to the Alonso of old with Sarri gone?
    Not that I like the look of Chelsea without hazard and with Lampard in charge.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      It's a good question because that 'Alonso of old' the is the one that used to line up alongside Frank. However, he is older and he doesn't have Hazard to link up down the left any more, so my feeling is probably not. Certainly not for 6.5 anyway.

      1. eduk
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I don't watch enough Chelsea to know if he's past it.
        It's more that he would get into mental positions for a full back which make him appealing. A full back popping up on the penalty spot means he would get tap ins,

  23. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Folks, who should I bring in?

    Fraser
    Moura

    I have Wilson as Bournemouth cover but have no Spurs covers which worries me. Though I know that shouldn’t matter

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Fraser. Great fixtures first two. Nailed. Spurs facing city GW2.

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Can you not do both with brooks inplace of Fraser

      2. Tinmen
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Fraser has City in Gw3

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          And Moura has City in GW2, with Son returning in GW3.
          Cover schmover - get the one who will play enough games. Fraser.

  24. MINUS FOUR
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Getting more and more keen on a GW1 Bench Boost to hit the ground running. I always play my Wildcard early anyway so it won't bother me to pull the trigger in GW3 for the immediate fixture swing. That said I won't rule out doing a -4 mini WC in GW3 to get back on track and save the WC. But I just love the idea of starting the season with a bang. You can make a seriously good team for GW1, depending on last minute news on who is in and who is out.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Who would be the "bench" players?

      1. MINUS FOUR
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        In a way it's hard to say what the true 'bench' would be, because if I'm doing it's Salah (C) then spread the funds all over the park. No real weaknesses. But on current draft something like Gunn, Brooks, Davies (if Rose leaves), Zinchenko.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe that’s how bench boost was “meant” to be used -lots mentioned having success with that approach last year

      Then an early WC to tidy things up & get all the bandwagons

      I could never do it personally though, I like a minimalist bench GW1 & build one when it come to WC time

      1. MINUS FOUR
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It's a bit risky, of course, and it's not 'easy' so it wouldn't suit a safe and solid management style that's for sure. But I like making a lot of transfers, playing the fixtures extremely hard and essentially focusing on the next 2 gameweeks and nothing more. Points, points, points at all times and worry about other issues as and when they arise.

        I also think FPL is a frontrunner's game. By a double gameweek in GW33/34 or whatever your season is very much defined. For some the season is well and truly over by then. Yes it's nice to have the chips up your sleeve at that time, but it's also huge to jump into the season with a big GW1 score and early WC if you can hit the right players.

        There's a lot to be said for starting well and 'spending' some of your points to target players with the best fixtures as you go.

        A GW1 BB has enormous potential. I'm still not 100% though.

      I'm a "BB in GW1" fan and went with that strategy last year but this year I cant feel it.

      Player's price is an issue. Tried to make a BB draft today as well but cant get a decent BB squad. Lack of cheap options is an issue.

        Guita, Ryan
        Van Dijk, Digne, Duffy, 4.5, 4.5
        Salah, Richarlison, Tielmens, Perez, Gross
        Kane, King, Deu

        This is the best I can come up with but midfield looks shaky...

          I don't love that to be honest. I wouldn't be playing the BB on that, too many 4.5m defenders and players without super plum fixtures. I'm looking at something more like going massively all in on Liverpool, Spurs and Bournemouth and spreading the funds across the whole 15.

            Pope - Gunn
            Zinchenko - Digne - TAA - Davie - KWP
            Salah - Fraser - Brooks - Bilva - Moura
            Wilson - Deulofeu - Origi

            Triple Pool, triple Spurs, triple Bournemouth, double Man City, and Watford attack at home to Brighton. It's basically a free hit style team that can also become a strong starting 11 for GW2.

        Interresting. Why?

    Anyone see anything wrong with this? It’s so template but I think it’s flexible & solid for the first 6-8 game weeks. Ideally I’d like Vardy but you can’t have them all I’m afraid. Also not that keen on Deulofeu but for the first few opening games I think he’s currently the best mid/budget option:

    Burnley Woodman

    TAA VVD Digne Zinchenko Kelly

    Salah Sterling Siggy Groß Dendoncker

    Wilson Deulofeu

    Thoughts on this Salah-less 3-4-3?

    Pope (4.0)
    TAA VVD Digne (4.0, 4.0)
    Sterling KDB Siggy Fraser (Donkey)
    Vardy Wilson Origi

    One option is to downgrade Siggy to Moura and upgrade a 4,0 def.

        Very good- perhaps Fraser over Perez first couple of games. Downside is weak bench

          It’s a possibility- weak bench issue as you said.
