The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice for FPL Gameweek 32+

The feast of football continues with managers having just a couple of hours to make their transfer and captain decisions ahead of the 11:30am BST deadline.

Gameweek 32+ brings its own particular challenges with eight teams involved in FA Cup action before playing their Premier League games. For FPL managers in a quandary, the Fantasy Football Scout Guide will hopefully answer one or two questions.

The titan of the Team News, Neale, has covered the few press conferences that have taken place this side of the FPL cutoff.

No big surprises – Liverpool are set to rotate, and Pep revealed that a ‘big kick’ to Jesus was the reason he missed out on a place in the starting XI against Chelsea. But with the top two playing each other this Gameweek, our interest, for once, is more focused on the bottom-18 teams.

The predicted line-ups are, understandably, a little harder to predict. But they contain the usual insight and reason we’ve come to associate with them. Essential pre-deadline content.

Likewise David’s statistical breakdown of the captain contenders

And there’s one metric that could be giving Joe cause for concern. 

While he is mentally prepared for an Aubameyang benching, our faithful Scoutcaster is trusting the Arsenal talisman with the armband. He reasons that the Gabonese striker has proven in the past that he can score when he comes on as a sub. 

However, David’s research unearthed the somewhat surprising find that Aubameyang’s opponents this Gameweek, Norwich City, have conceded just three big chances over their last four matches. The best performance of any team.

They do, admittedly, allow the opposition a large quantity of shots at their goal – 41 in the box over the last four matches – but very few of those are gilt-edged chances.

Nonetheless, Aubameyang does top this site’s Rate My Team tool for predicted points, so in all likelihood Joe will be rewarded with his armband decision.

But should doubts have crept in, there are plenty of alternatives.

For many, a triple up on Manchester United is a must. Pro Pundit Az summarised the feeling in his recent feature:

Ole is indeed at the wheel, and currently, he’s at the wheel of a Ferrari rather than the Reliant Robin we saw him driving earlier in the season.

– Az

Selected in our Scout Picks, Anthony Martial had gone somewhat under the radar ahead of Gameweek 31+ although Pro Pundits LateRiser and Andy both highlighted his potential and brought him into their sides. David notes in the Scout Picks:

Martial is joint-top of the league for shots in the box and big chances over the last four matches, indicating there could be more to come against Brighton.

– David

Teammate Marcus Rashford also makes the XI, his nine shots in the box over the last four matches catching the eye.

And TheFantasyFreÆK attempted to ease the worries of Bruno Fernandes owners when answering “Why did Bruno Fernandes blank?” in his latest review. Don’t sell, don’t captain the verdict – and remember he’s still on penalties.

Captain poll favourite Raul Jimenez has a healthy 10 shots in the box over his last four. Although Aston Villa’s defence have conceded just five big chances over the same period. 

Wolves take on Villa in the only Premier League match today – a quick turnaround for both sets of players – will that have an impact on performance?

Spurs duo Son Hueng-Min and Harry Kane will be hoping to inflict more misery on a Sheffield United defence that has struggled since the restart. The Blades, however, welcome back goalkeeper Dean Henderson – who was ineligible to face his parent club Manchester United – and John Egan, who was suspended. 

For those considering handing one or other the armband, David notes: 

Three of Kane’s five big chances over the last four have come since the Premier League returned to our screens, Son mustering just one since Gameweek 30+.

– David

Finally, Chelsea. A schedule which hands them a match every three days and an FA Cup tie ahead of their midweek encounter with West Ham, would normally put most off. But they have looked impressive.

As noted in the Scout Picks, Christian Pulisic has re-established himself as an option: two goals in as many games, a shot cleared off the line, and passing the eye test – read David Wardale’s Scout Notes for the lowdown. The American could profit against the Hammers, who have conceded at least twice in eight of their last nine matches.

Community Articles

Often, when struggling to make a decision, it pays to see what the best are up to.

Ville Ronka’s Wildcard is examined in Greyhead’s review of The Great and The Good. The famously patient manager is on the rise, closing in on a tenth top 10,000 finish in 12 seasons of playing FPL.

The football has also resumed in Scandinavia, ReindeerHotdog has been keeping tabs and offering insight on the teams in the Eliteserien. His latest piece asked how we should spend our limited funds.

Meanwhile, Meltens’s insights on Fantasy Allsvenskan have been seized upon by the official website. Read up on his differential and captain recommendations ahead of Gameweek 4.

Community Competitions

The Head-to-Head leagues have been updated for Gameweeks 30+ and 31+. Many thanks to Mat (aka matzi11a) for his work behind the scenes to get these up and running again. 

The results and league tables for Gameweek 31+ are currently showing on the main Head-to-Head page, the results for Gameweek 30+ can be viewed here.

The big news at the top of League 1 is that Craig Johnson (aka Bouncebackability) has had his lead cut to a single point.

Two narrow defeats means he has the chasing pack breathing down his neck. Craig will be hoping to, er, ‘bounce back’ when he takes on olavi oja (aka ulafhai) in Gameweek 32+.

Simon Vazquez is second and Ignazio La Rosa sits third. Both managers have made 100% winning starts to the restart.

The upcoming fixtures are listed below:

Leading Performers

There are 5,983 managers taking part in the Head-to-Head leagues and none have amassed more points than Abdullah Tamin and Niall Devlin. The pair have picked up a staggering 81 out of a possible 93. Both are in League 8, Abdullah leads Division 1 and Niall Division 143.

Fantasy Football Scout Mini-Leagues

The Fantasy Football Scout mini-league continues to sit proudly atop the Best Leagues in FPL as it has done since Gameweek 20. Our lead has been extended to just over 21 points. 

Leagues are ranked using an average score of the top five teams, so congratulations (and thanks) to the top five managers in the mini-league Chris McGowan, Mark May, Christopher Berchoux, Keith Stulberg and Rok Krasna. All five managers feature in the top 25 overall. 

Rok replaces Ciaran Keighery in the mini-league top five, with Bill Wilkins having dropped out the week before.

A superb Bench Boost score of 122 helped Mark (aka Frankiem) displace Chris McGowan (aka Queens of the South Age) at the top of our mini-league in Gameweek 30+. Only for Chris to retake first place in Gameweek 31+.

There are currently 44,093 people participating in the Fantasy Football Scout mini-league, to join them enter code ooyz44 in your Leagues’ section on the FPL site.

The leading lights in our mini-league are also fighting it out in the battle to be crowned overall FPL champion.

Mark jumped to the top of the pile in Gameweek 30+ although he was overtaken by Jamie Crisp, the current world number one, by Thursday evening. Chris is second, four points behind Jamie.

Mark is five points further back and level on points with World chess champion Magnus Carlsen.

Good luck to both Fantasy Football Scout managers as they vie for the ultimate prize in FPL.

Congratulations to Tom Russell (aka Monkey Tennis), a new entry to and new leader of our Members mini-league. Tom is currently 25th overall. This is his ninth FPL season and he has a previous best of 5,125th in 2014/15. 

He is three points ahead of the previous No. 1, Damjan Rupnik (aka rdamjan).

The code to join the Members League can be found on the Members page

The FFScout Charity Shield got underway in Gameweek 30+. The early leader was Stan Bern who scored an amazing 159 points using his Bench Boost chip for a Gameweek rank of 4! 

Stan dropped to third, however, after Gameweek 31+ as Liam Bondin (aka FPL Meatpie) moved into pole position. Liam followed up his opening score of 133 points with a haul of 110 points on his Wildcard. Liam is in his fourth FPL season and is 52nd overall.

Fantasy Football Scout Cup

64 managers go into the hat for round four of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup.

The luckiest winner in round three was B’Strikers who made it through with a below-average score of 51, while the unluckiest loser was baingaboyz who bowed out despite an impressive total of 103. The magic of the cup, eh?

Wild Rover is the only former winner still in the competition after Joe and Philman were both eliminated in round two.

Pro Pundit Andy (aka Andy85wsm) can still dream of cup glory, as indeed can I! However for our fellow member of the Mods & Cons, Gregor, it’s time to focus on the league.

Form often goes out of the window in the cup, and so it proved in rounds two and three. All five managers in the top one thousand overall heading into the Gameweek, lost. Commiserations to rdamjan, Forza, Euroalien, Bury94 and prbaker1980.

Neale review round three here.

Community Mini-Leagues and Competitions

In TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing the safety score in Gameweek 31+ was 79 points, this saw a total of 66 managers eliminated

4,965 managers have exited the competition so far with 141 left to battle it out for the coveted title of Last Man Standing

Aside from bragging rights, the winner will receive a free Fantasy Football Scout Membership for the 2020/21 season.

In the Pundit’s Play-Off Community Tournament The Keane Fifteen are 11 points clear at the top of the overall leaderboard

There are two matchweeks to go before the leading eight teams will feature in the end-of-season knockout stage. Boris Bodega provided us with an update in his recent review article while Toblerone52 recapped the action since the restart here.

A Whole Lawro B*llocks are holding eighth place by a single point. Back to Square Owen will be hoping to capitalise on any slip up.

Long-time leader Neale Rigg (aka SkontoRigga) has increased his lead over Fantasy League maestro Gareth Butler (aka Clouseau) to 39 points in the FFS Mods & Cons mini-league

Meanwhile Chris James (aka elFozzie) had the misfortune of accidentally cancelling his intended Bench Boost in Gameweek 30+, leaving 26 points on his bench. Ouch! 

Rok Krasna remains top of RedLightning’s Top 10k Any Season mini-league (league code m0tq9y) after a combined 214 points over the opening two Gameweeks since the restart. He’s now up to 22nd overall and has opened up a 42-point lead over David Nataf in second.

Rok and David are also first and second in PDM‘s Top 1k ANY season mini-league (league code eejnyz).

Svein Roald L Usken’s (aka Firminoooo) and Denial EASTOP have been contesting the lead in Chaballer’s Top 1,000 HoF League (league code beeps2) since Gameweek 22. The former currently holds the advantage.

The pair are 722nd and 189th respectively in the Career Hall of Fame.

Champions and Pro Pundits

Pro Pundit Simon March has edged away again in the exclusive FPL Champions League. The former champion has opened up a 60-point gap over 2012/13 winner Matthew Martyniak.

Meanwhile, the aptly-named Lateriser12 is surging up the ranks. The Pro Pundit has moved from outside the top thousand to 145th overall following back-to-back centuries. 

And a special mention to Sam Bonfield (aka Sam FPLFamily) who recorded an impressive 127 points in Gameweek 30+. She sits at 2,493 overall.

2020 Mini-Leagues

RedLightning’s January to July League, which started scoring in Gameweek 21, is still dominated by this season’s FFS Members Cup winner, Danny Mallon (aka Pep Pig). 

Impressively, Danny has risen from 386k in Gameweek 20 to his current ranking of 2,656th.

Looking on admiringly in second place is yours truly! I have a 22-point gap to bridge if I’m to overtake the high-flying Pig. 

The league will remain open for any others who wish to track their progress in the second half of the season, the code you need is aafkpq.

The Last Ten started scoring in Gameweek 29, meaning that Gameweek 30+ was only its second round of action. Dylan McCullagh moved into first following a Bench-Boost-assisted 128 points but dropped to second after his 88-point Wildcard.

The new leader is Ahmed Shahin (aka Professor Bear), who followed his 112 points on Bench Boost with a 103-point Wildcard. This is only his fourth FPL season, but he has finished in the top 10,000 every time and is 715th in our Live Hall of Fame.

Two hundred and twenty-seven teams, including last season’s winner Ted Maw (aka Rotation’s Alter Ego), have entered so far. The code you need to join is p4unsq.

      Traore named and rockstar has better info. than them!

    9. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      It's a tough situation with fake line ups... you ignore it all and miss out on the legit leaks

      Or you follow it and make silly decisions

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Or just wait for rockstar to post

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Just wait for the 3 reliable ones. TheKopHQ, FPL_Rockstar and Seanformenderby...

    10. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I have a feeling this is not gonna be an easy game for Wolves...

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I have a feeling it will be! 3-1 or 3-0

        • Dr. Agabuse
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          1-0 or late 2-0 like the others

      2. More Cowbell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I never seem to have success with early captains. Hopefully today is the exception. Come on Jimi lad!

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Should have told us this before the deadline. Then we could have avoided Jimenez.

        2. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I agree in general that the early game seems to be lower scoring.

          But it's cool in the West Midlands today and i expect Jimi and Wolves to tear them up.

          Villa have to make a stand if they can?

        3. Blue&White85
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I’d be happy with 1-0 Jimenez.

      3. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Late change with McGinn coming in please?

        1. Dr. Agabuse
          • 11 Years

        Traore benched today. But will start against Arsenal. Nuno prefers starting Traore against the top half teams.

        1. Dr. Agabuse
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yes

          1. Dr. Agabuse
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Hope to see a fit Tierney for this

        2. Kun Tozser
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Arsenal, top half team, not sure the theory works!

          1. Dr. Agabuse
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Well you can look at the table

        Auba (C) in for a -4. Maverick but has to be done. Just have a feeling. Also captained him when we played them in the reverse fixture in December and that went well hehe.

          Son, maybe due to fixtures and less risk of rotation

        Rockstar called in and asked for Traore to be put on bench after he had done a slight mistake.
        No problem for your reputations sake he'll come along

        What's happened to Traore, complete waste of a transfer.

          Took the words right out of my mouth. Inexplicable

            Well it was before Covid

          Nuno likes him as an impact sub. He could easily get something off the bench.

            He’s not on the bench either

          Will come on after 55/60 mins to destroy Villa's tired legs and to hit the counter-attack when Villa are trying to chase a goal.

          I’ve been lucky, had him last week on FH

        Here’s hoping it’s a good week to miss the deadline. 🙂

          I don't know what to say

            • 5 Years

            Well given my record in messing up cracking teams with last minute transfers in the last 2 weeks I’m quite relaxed 🙂

            Missed doing Vardy to Rash C this time. No idea who has the armband now

            What did you do?

            1. pingissimus

              Ah site back up - KdB C it is

        I couldn't see him on the bench.

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Terry Taylor = Traore

        Come on update

      12. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        If Pool play Salah 90 vs City and he does well,

        is he your captain for Villa at home?

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah

        2. Dr. Agabuse
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Or should i transfer him and Cantwell

          to Martial and Mahrez/Bruno no matter..

          There will be uncertainty but if he starts vs Villa...oh my

        3. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          He’s my captain this week, let alone next week!

          Nowt to lose at this sad stage of the season so hoping Liverpool are in party mood against City and want to put an emphasis on their deserved title with a beat down of the Citizens.

          In all honesty, City are actually pretty ropey at the back, as Chelsea exposed last game.

          1. Dr. Agabuse
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            My captain too!
            Easy choice.
            But the week after...

            If i bring Martial and Bruno i'll have the same geam as my rival with a 50pt lead for now

            1. Dr. Agabuse
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Him not starting, coming on for a cameo and Bruno Martial (c) putting on a show vs BOU could hurt me tremendously

          2. El Presidente
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Thats because Pep decided to play Fernandinho at centre back, which was a HUGE mistake. Another one to add to a season of record lineup mistakes. The previous 2 (8-0) they looked rock solid.

            1. Nomar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Teams play them scared and stand off them and let them spray the ball around.

              When teams actually go for it and attack City they get exposed. Other than Laporte the rest of the defence is dodgy. A rampant Liverpool can carve them up.

                • 4 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                I dont think so.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          3 years, 9 months ago

          Would have to follow the team news
          I would be concerned about Pool going into rotation mode by then

          1. Dr. Agabuse
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I guess thats what i mean

        There's defnitely something about the risky excitement of a first game captain- but can been hit or miss. Hopefully a massive hit and headstart. Triple Wolves, with Jimmy captain is exciting 🙂 ....One thing for sure is the certainty of Jimmy starting with no FA cup to deal with.

        Aston Villa last 4 games:
        Crosses Conceded from the Left: 68
        Crosses Conceded from the Right: 36
        Interesting differential there

          You have Jonny?

        As a Jimenez non captainer and a United fan I really hope Villa can get anything at all from this game!

          • 14 Years

          They need something, they’re going down now unless they can pull a few results out of the bag.

          I think this is where playing without crowd involvement really hampers the teams at the bottom.

          1. Champions League Varane
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I agree but I really hope they stay up still!

          Have you captained yourself Tony?

          1. Champions League Varane
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I have indeed

              As expected.

        Has anyone ever done the analysis on how many goals there generally are in matches based on when they’re played? I.e. Saturday lunchtime vs, 3pms vs super Sunday’s vs midweek etc? There may be absolutely nothing in it and it’s probably just my bias that makes me think that Saturday lunchtime games are often low-scoring and Sunday 4pms are usually goal-fests!
