Tips

The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice for FPL Gameweek 25

Welcome to a slightly earlier than normal Fantasy Football Scout Gameweek Guide ahead of Saturday’s 11:30 GMT deadline

After a divisive Double Gameweek in which many suffered from Triple Captaining Sadio Mane, we’ve had wise words from several of our Pro Pundits. In his Meet the Manager interview with Joe, Utkarsh Dalmia (aka Pro Pundit Zophar) reminded us:

Evaluate the decision, not the outcome.

– Pro Pundit Zophar

Clearly Mane was an excellent choice and it’s extremely unlucky he went off injured after just 33 minutes against Wolves.

Referencing Poker in his latest piece Lateriser cautioned that it would be very easy to go ‘on tilt’ after facing a bad beat. He echoed the words of fellow Pro Pundit Simon March, who has spoken in the past about the “What the heck? Effect” – where we are more likely to take risks following a loss:

Keeping your temperament in control is incredibly important.

– Pro Pundit Lateriser

This week, in his article discussing the ‘sunk cost fallacy’, former FPL winner Simon brought us more thoughtful advice:

Literally, the only thing that matters in this game are the points you score going forward so we’d do well to ensure that we make our decisions on that basis, no matter how loudly our past decisions might continue to echo in our ears.

– Simon March

So what moves should we be considering ahead of Gameweek 25?

The Scoutcast trio of Joe, Az, and Lee were unanimous in their recommendation of switching Mane to Salah, if you don’t already own the Egyptian.

Joe and Lee both feel that with a crunch Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid following hot on the heels of their Gameweek 26 trip to Norwich, Mane is unlikely to get many minutes even if he is fit to play.

However, for managers who already own Salah, the options to replace the Senegal international in our squads – in the words of Pro Pundit Ash – look bleak.

Raheem Sterling is similarly priced but is lacking in form. While Son Heung-min has had the second-highest number of goal attempts (14) this calendar year among midfielders but embarks on a poor run of upcoming fixtures, with the exception of Aston Villa in Gameweek 26.

Shifting funds to our front lines may be the way to go.

Pro Pundit Holly Shand points out that Aguero is making a compelling case to be included in our Fantasy squads when she cast her eye over the goal threat, creativity and clean sheets for January. While Aubameyang is tempting Pro Pundit Andy. The Arsenal forward faces Burnley (away), Newcastle (home), and Everton (home) in his next three matches.

And a cut-price striker has caught the attention of several managers. Pro Pundit Tom Freeman highlights Chris Wood in his differentials article:

With Arsenal, level with Burnley on 30 points, due at Turf Moor on Sunday, Wood’s aerial ability could be key. His five goals from set plays are more than any other player this season, whilst only Newcastle United have conceded more attempts from dead ball situations than the Gunners.

– Pro Pundit Tom Freeman

Community member Luv4rotties agrees, as he told us when he considered Mane replacements earlier this week. While Top Gun Luke is hoping the New Zealander will kick start his surge up the ranks.

And Pro Pundit Zophar also talked up the Kiwi when disclosing his plans for his FPL team.

Finally keep an eye on the moves of The Great and The Good. Greyhead was in pun-tastic form as he brought us a light-hearted look back on the Double Gameweek. Many of these managers boast excellent track records, and it’s somewhat reassuring to know that they suffered like millions of others.

Armband Candidates

Mohamed Salah is the runaway leader in our captain poll following his Double Gameweek heroics with over 56% of the vote.

But as David reported in his usual in-depth Captain Sensible article, Liverpool’s upcoming opponents could provide a stiff examination of their attacking credentials:

Southampton have been in fantastic shape, which may cause some slight concern for those hoping to trust Salah with the armband. Over the last four matches, when the Saints have faced Spurs, Leicester, Wolves and Crystal Palace, Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men have conceded just 22 shots in the box, just 5.5 per game. Considering that Southampton will be away from home against Liverpool, this data suggests that if they, as suspected, park the proverbial bus, it could limit Liverpool’s attack.

– David

He offers up Aguero as a viable alternative for our armband affections:

Aguero comes into this weekend in better statistical shape than the Egyptian (as far as goal threat is concerned) with superior figures for shots in the box, big chances and shots on target. Furthermore, the defensive data of recent matches suggests that Spurs could actually be easier to penetrate than Southampton at Anfield.

– David

However if the threat of Pep Roulette makes you feel uneasy, Salah is undeniably a good option. He comfortably tops this site’s Rate My Team and his prowess can be explained by his home form. Neale’s analysis of the key underlying stats revealed:

45 attempts on goal, 38 shots in the box, 22 efforts on target, 13 big chances and ten goals recorded by Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) at Anfield this season. No FPL midfielder can surpass any of those totals in home fixtures. Liverpool face Southampton on Merseyside this weekend.

– Neale

Salah is also one of the three ‘players to watch’ in Pep Pig’s Gameweek 25 preview and Liverpool are miles ahead in the latest DS stats, fixtures and clean sheet odds provided by G-Whizz.

Looking ahead

The FA Cup and League Cup results are beginning to shape the landscape for FPL managers. 

David reviewed the current permutations for Blank Gameweek 31: two matches will definitely be postponed while the FA Cup replays due to take place on February 4th and 5th will lead to further fixture disruption. 

The League Cup final will be contested by Aston Villa and Manchester City, meaning their fixtures against Sheffield United and Arsenal will be rearranged. Therefore highly-owned players such as Kevin De Bruyne, John Lundstram, Dean Henderson and Jack Grealish will all blank in Gameweek 28.

Of course these same players will also benefit from a yet-to-be-announced Double Gameweek.

Team News

Among this week’s press conferences was the news that Willy Boly is ready to return to action. 

The Scoutcast trio found his price of £4.7m enticing. The Wolves defender could be a good replacement for Soyuncu or possibly Lundstram, should the Sheffield United star find his starting role under threat.

To add to his appeal the Frenchman scored three goals from headers last season. Tom Freeman highlighted the importance of set-piece threat in his latest article. Newcastle United offer a few budget options ahead of fixtures against Norwich and Arsenal.

      Have to play Maddy

      1. popcoin
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        James 7-blanks-in-8 Maddison?

  11. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think Martial will be on wing and Ighalo CF ?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. DAVESAVES
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ighalo won't start

    4. The Rock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Will take a few weeks for Ighalo to get up to speed so not right away. I would say he will be a bench option amd rotation.

    5. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

  12. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Why are so many starting Lundstram? Is he not likely to be benched?

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Potentially, maybe next week once new signings have settled in.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’m starting hoping he gets the nod

    3. Naboo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He starts this week

    4. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Chance of playing this week but after that I think his days are numbered regarding starting most weeks

  13. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which one would you suggest me to buy - Henderson, Dubravka, Leno, McCarthy, someone else?
    Cheers!

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mcarthy or Dubravka for me

    2. Root
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pope

    3. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hend if you have a backup keeper or McCarth otherwise.

  14. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Final piece of my WC. Which two would you prefer?

    1. Stevens & Hayden (play 4-4-2 this week)
    2. Stephens & Fleck (play 3-5-2)

    Team

    Henderson McCarthy
    TAA Gomez Fernandez XX Boly
    Salah Troare Grealish KDB XX
    Ings Aubam Aguero

    1. Cahill
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1

    2. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2 has higher ceiling

  15. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Everyone making negative comments about Ighalo to United. Go suck a lemon. He could be a massive flop but there is nothing to lose. He has been a massive fan of united for years over Cole and Yorke so he has respect for the badge which is extremely important. 6months loan with no buy option not costing a lot. What’s the issue? Bruno and Ighalo could help us massively in our current situation. Everyone so negative.

    1. Samwise
      • 5 Years

      lol

      1. Samwise
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        even Bamford would be an improvement

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          And would probably cost 20m+

          1. Samwise
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I sometimes get confused between Man Utd and yeovil town... forgive me

                4 years, 1 month ago

                This has to be a parody account. Not even Utd ‘fans’ are this bad

                1. FPL Blow-In
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  Why is “fans” in inverted commas? I’m serious no reason why Ighalo can’t do well. I don’t have high expectations but it’s low risk what’s the problem ? Who did you expect them to buy?

        2. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          We are a bit limited with our squad and not exactly a plethora of options available in the market.

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Correct. Destroyed before he's even kicked a ball and if he flops, so what?

    3. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yup he could be a good focal point for the team.

    4. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 4 Years

      Lol it’s Utd fans having a go about it - go to RedCafe with this.

                        Yeah I have on numerous occasions. I lived and worked there for years. A lot of my English relatives are from Liverpool. My Irish relatives are united fans and i loved supporting united and winding up my cousins since I was a toddler. Why I’m even feeling the need to explain myself to you I don’t know. Can people no longer support a team if they have never been there anyway? Because if that’s the case united would be broke you clown

  18. Long ago I drew a walrus
    • 13 Years

    Play Lascelles or Ings

    1. Cahill

      Lascelles

  19. El Presidente

    4 years, 1 month ago

    In all these years playing this game I have never witnessed such shambolic behaviour, lack of emotional intelligence and outright stupidity from players as I have going into this GW deadline. And I have to say, the level of advising from the so called pro's here in FFS has been appalling. I think it all comes together I guess quite telling indeed the weekend the UK leaves Europe after 47 years.

    1. popcoin

      soy

  21. popcoin

    Start 2:

    A) Lund

    Best midfielder for 10 mio or less for a three week run?

    No one seems to have a particularly great three week run. I was looking at Richarlison but Watford and Palace are probably deceptively difficult. Mahrez an option?

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      My problem too. Am on Rich as Mahrez would need transfering out. No one else appealing has 3 ok fixtures

      1. MillsAU
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I think I am between the 2. Leaning Mahrez in spite of the need to transfer out ahead of 28.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years

      Bruno Fernandes

      1. MillsAU
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Interesting answer but does he start this week?

        1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          It’s a Utd fan mate. If they signed Eboue they’d tell you to get him because he’s a lifelong fan.

          Do you just have one ft? I’d be tempted to roll it - really not many good options this week. Might be better to just have 2 ft when the situation becomes clearerr

  24. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Should I play DCL at Watford or Grealish at Bournemouth?

    1. popcoin
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish

    2. The Rock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You must have a very good bench? But Grealish if i had to pick.

  25. HP18
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Evening all!

    Best option:
    A) VVD & Stevens
    or
    B) Robertson & O'Connell

    1. The Rock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A, just.

      1. HP18
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Okay 🙂

  26. The Rock
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hendo
    TAA, Digne, Lundstram, Williams
    Salah, Mane, Grealish, Maddison
    Vardy, DCL
    Gaza, Ings, Soyuncu, Dendoncker

    1 FT and 0.9 in the bank.

    Mane is the obvious one to lose but i don't see any stand out midfielder or even attacker (4 point hit) to swap him out for? Almost feel like a 4 point hit on Robbo in may be the best shout and then Son or somebody for Mane?

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Big Kev? Spurs and Hammers pretty feeble atm

      1. The Rock
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but missing GW 28..

        Probably still the best pick from the mids tho.

  27. Ronny Sandstone
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Firimino to Aubamayang as a straight swap? (no hit)

    Frees up a Liverpool spot for double defence next week is my thinking.

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Save and re-asses next week, it will be good having 2FT's over the the winter break

      1. Ronny Sandstone
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes I think your right actually, seeing all these WC teams with Aubamayang is conflicting me, Frimino home to Southampton isn't too bad I guess

        Cheers

    Thinking of doing Maddy and DCL to Saint-maximin and Auba for -4pts (I have exact funds)

    Yes or no?

    My team currently is:

    Mccarthy Pope
    TAA Lundy Williams Kelly Rico
    Maddy* KDB Martial Salah Cantwell
    DCL* Vardy Firmino

    Guys can we just take a moment and think. Ighalo is back in Fpl in 2020. Superb !!

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Are you forgetting how crap he was in the months before he left? Had an initial purple patch than turned into Joe Linton

      1. King Henrik
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Give me a break dude. Hopeful United fan. Hoping if he gets minutes and is cheap he might just get some goals !!!!

      2. The Rock
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He is certainly hot and cold WR. But I noticed he was top goalscorer in the ACON 2019, beating Mane, Salah, Mahrez, Zaha etc.

        Will be interesting to see, not expecting much but who knows!
