Tips

The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice for FPL Gameweek 36+

Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout Guide to Gameweek 36+. Today’s deadline is at 19:15 BST – still time to consider those all important transfer and captaincy decisions.

Following a Gameweek in which many differential options scored well, managers are on the lookout for the next opportunity to help them climb the ranks.

The two outstanding bets appear to be a flutter on the Pep Roulette or a fired-up Chelsea against an already-relegated Norwich City.

A total of six players from these teams feature in the Scout Picks.

Pep Roulette

Since the restart, Manchester City have been creating by far the best chances of any Premier League side. Their expected goals total of 19.21 is way ahead of the second-best team for this statistic, Chelsea, on 12.73.

But we don’t need stats to tell us City are a good bet – the problem is picking the right player.

Joe stunned Az and Andy on the Scoutcast this week when the typically safe and unadventurous manager revealed he is looking to sign and captain David Silva.

And Joe is not alone in coveting El Mago.

Gran Canaria’s most successful footballing export is picked out by Pro Pundit Tom Freeman in his regular differentials piece. 

After being omitted from the starting line-up against Brighton, he is fancied to start against a Bournemouth side missing influential centre-back Nathan Aké

Since the restart, and bearing in mind he’s been limited to just four starts, Silva has had more opposition half touches than any other teammate. He also sits top for successful passes in the final third, and second for chances created and big chances created.

– Pro Pundit Tom Freeman

At under five per cent ownership, the Spanish playmaker looks to be this week’s standout differential.

However, in David’s Captain Sensible article, it’s the Brazilian Jesus who tops a number of key stats.

Over his last four matches, Az’s favourite player has taken 16 shots inside the box, including six big chances.

And while opponents Bournemouth have been better at the back in recent games than one might expect, that really shouldn’t put us off:

The four teams who have most recently faced Manchester City are all in the bottom half for this statistic, especially Brighton and Newcastle, whose xGC scores took a battering during a battle with Guardiola’s relentless attackers.

– David

Of course the big question is who will start for City?

As mentioned, David Silva is widely expected to be named in the starting XI but nothing is certain with Señor Guardiola.

To help us, site moderator Legomané has put together a useful colour-coded matrix:

Detailing the minutes played by each key asset, it gives us a clue about what we might expect against Bournemouth.

It’s also worth keeping in mind that following their outing against the Cherries on Wednesday, Pep’s troops have just two days rest before their important cup semi-final against Arsenal. A match in which the rotating Catalan is sure to name his strongest line-up.

Chelsea to bounce back?

Frank Lampard was fuming after his side’s defeat at Sheffield United.

They were better than us physically, in the mind and with the ball, so you lose the game. They were stronger than us. We don’t have crowds at the minute so you hear every voice and all I could hear was Sheffield United voices, so they were stronger in that sense.

– Frank Lampard

Fair to say we can expect a reaction against Norwich City.

And following Daniel Farke’s side’s capitulation at the hands of West Ham – and a delighted Michail Antonio in particular – the Blues are expected to profit.

Willian and Christian Pulisic would appear to offer the best routes into the Chelsea attack. David notes: 

If Willian is going to play, he seems the most complete Chelsea asset when weighed up across all the categories. He is the most creative, competes reasonably with Pulisic and the two forwards for shots in the box but gets bigger chances and is more accurate than the American.

– David

Managers could benefit from early team news ahead of today’s deadline, and that could bring Olivier Giroud or Tammy Abraham into the equation.

The pair have shared minutes since the restart. But a place in the first XI for either would surely mark them out as an enticing differential, albeit not one that would be a reliable starter for the remainder of the season.

And let’s not forget West Ham and Antonio. The out-of-position midfielder is thriving in the centre-forward’s role, and his promising underlying stats ahead of the Canaries clash persuaded well-known Scoutcasters to invest.

Greyhead was his usual puntastic-self in the latest installment of The Great and the Good. The chronicler of the FPL Rat Pack reported on the positive rank swings for Az and Andy, who both benefited from Antonio’s incredible haul. The Hammers’ talisman remains a differential at just 3.4 per cent ownership.

Scintillating Saints

Southampton scored the last goal of Gameweek 35+ to level the scores at Old Trafford. The Saints started strongly with Stuart Armstrong scoring the opening goal of the evening. 

But while the Scot has been putting in some excellent performances of late – producing attacking returns in four of his last six matches – the focus for many is on Danny Ings.

Still in the race for the Golden Boot – four goals behind Jamie Vardy – he has the backing of his manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. Speaking after the win over Watford in Gameweek 32+, the Saints boss enthused: 

I think anything is possible [with regards to the race for the Golden Boot]. We will play with him the last six games and then he will have six chances to score. If he gets the chance you can see how fantastic his finishing is at the moment. He seems fitter than ever. He was very hard working in the shutdown and that gives him now fantastic physical options.

– Ralph Hasenhuttl (speaking after victory over Watford in Gameweek 32+)

However, the demands of the fixture schedule is giving FPL managers pause for thought.

Pro Pundit Zophar updated us on the varying rest periods for Premier League teams in this latest offering. Southampton’s “harsh schedule” could make the six-time top 5,000 boss reconsider his planned move:

I was originally thinking of doing the Jamie Vardy to Ings move but the Saints’ congested schedule has me a bit worried. Ings has been a machine of late but his fitness issues in the past are well documented and will they possibly flare up again with matches so close? The Saints’ pressing style could suffer too with low recovery periods. Something to ponder.

– Pro Pundit Zophar

Vardy Party, Manchester Six and Misfiring Salah

Selling Jamie Vardy is a dilemma for many in the community.

Maximus Bonimus Pointimus sought opinion in a hot topic – Leicester’s fixtures and a number of first-team absentees could potentially see the Golden Boot leader shown the door.

Compared to Pep’s squad spinning, Ole Gunnar Solskjær is wonderfully reliable. The Norwegian named an unchanged side for the fifth game running against Southampton.

Although selecting the right three to own still requires some thought, with a number of options vying for a place in our squads. Pro Pundit Sam invited opinion on the ideal trio in the comments section.

Meanwhile, TheFantasyFreÆK shared his insights in his regular Gameweek review. Top of the agenda was just how unlucky Mohamed Salah-owners had been:

Salah recorded as many big chances as Sterling (two each) and in fact, fared better for shots in the box (four vs three) and minutes per expected goal involvement (66 vs 74).

– TheFantasyFreÆK

With impressive underlying stats – the Egyptian tallied eight shots in his previous outing against Brighton – Salah remains a contender for the captaincy.

Final checks

FPL relaunches with/without unlimited transfers for all managers

Don’t forget to check out the latest Team News and Predicted Line-ups brought to us by Neale and, as usual, G-Whizz has been kind enough to supply the best odds of a clean sheet.

Lastly, a heads up that the penultimate FPL deadline of the season is this coming Saturday at 16:30 BST.

      Similar dilemma. I'd go with 2 utd starters so either B or C.

  5. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Final FH spots? Still feels like at least one from Pool is worth it.

    Pope
    Azpi, Digne, -----
    Sterling, Bruno, Pulisic, -----, -----
    Jesus, -----
    (martin; greenwood, saiss, lamptey)

    1) TAA, Willian, Dilva, Ings

    2) AWB, Salah, Foden, Giroud

    1. Reggie Nainggolan
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      That's a tough one

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I know, right?

        1. Reggie Nainggolan
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Dont wanna give my opinion as I dont know!! Worried I'll sway you the wrong option if it goes bad

  6. Dele
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah is going in the bin

    1. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Why?

      1. Dele
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Sterling better

  7. tim
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Boly or Saiss?

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Went with Saiss pre-lockdown. Haven't regretted it, fwiw.

    2. timmmuh
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Go for the cheaper option ... neither providing any attacking returns; good for clean sheets only at this point.

    3. BremerHB
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Boly if you've got the cash leftover

  8. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who is more nailed to start the next GW?

    (S)terling or (D)ilva

    1. Genji3lade
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Dilva easily. Foden and Dilva are the most nailed this week. Then Jesus. Then below that Sterling. Mahrez the least likely to start

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That is what I want to hear

  9. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would you rather:

    A) Chelsea Def + Pulisic + Willian + Ings

    B) Chelsea Def + Pulisic + Antonio + Giroud/Tammy

    1. Lumberjack
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Reggie Nainggolan
      • 7 Years

      A

  10. Doctor Evil
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    It’s my birthday and I just put Willian in and as it’s the only game today I’m going to Captain him. Here’s hoping he can put me top of my mini league today

    1. Ain't No Holebas Girl
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Good luck! Hope he brings you a nice birthday present

    2. YEAH PITCH!

      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Happy birthday! Mahrez to Willian for me

  11. Lumberjack
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Kiko to Digne worth. FT? Whoever I gave will be starting. Ta.

    A - yes
    B - No

  12. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    sigh, cant decide whether to get Jesus or Ings

    A) with Jesus:
    DDG
    Taa • Doherty • Holgate ----------- Kiko Lamptey
    Foden • KDB • Bruno • Pulisic --- Guendouzi
    Jimmy • Rashford • Jesus

    B) with Ings. BUT with mahrez on bench for gw37 or if someone doesn't play
    DDG
    Taa • Doherty • Holgate ----------- Kiko Lamptey
    Foden • KDB • Bruno • Pulisic --- Mahrez
    Jimmy • Rashford • Ings

    B gives a better front 8 esp if KDB is fully rested. Plus i expect mahrez to play in gw37 in which i can bench Pulisic(liv)

  13. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Not many tempted to capitano Salah???

  14. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    De Gea
    TAA. Azpilicueta Alonso
    Salah Foden Silva Pulisic Sterling
    Rashford Ings

    FH side, a few obvious omissions but trying to make up 20 points

  15. lugalooch
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A) Vardy > Giroud
    B) Foden > Pullisic
    C) Vardy + Foden > Jesus + Saka (allows me to play Antionio) -4

    Thanks

    Does early kick off curse work if there's only one fixture?

    1. el polako

      And its hardly early.

      Nah, it's gotta be early mate!

  17. How I met your Mata
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Never been so uncertain of Captain...sterling KDB Bruno Salah Vardy all could take it

    1. Mattious8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yup. Tough week. I'm in first by 20. Have Sterling, KDB, Bruno, Mart....could free hit, and I still don't know who to C. If I knew Sterling were starting I'd pick him.

    2. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’d avoid vardy . Sheffield United seem to have their mojo back in defence

      1. Mattious8
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I have triple C and FH...debating to use the triple or FH this week, still. Really second guessing myself.

        This is great, perhaps you should develop a Q&A page dedicated for these posts

          If it's well used with good response rates, we'll definitely do it for the other deadlines and think about how to improve it for next season! A separate page could work

        1. Bad Kompany

          Looks like Sterling (C) is the clear favourite.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Is an A/B/C one ok.

        A) Jimi to Ings
        B) Rash to Jesus, Jimi to Ings, Ederson to any keeper (-4)
        C) Salah to Sterling, Ederson to McCarthy (have KDB and Foden)

        is KDB to Foden worth a -4 if all my rivals own him?

        With Aurier likely out due to his heartbreaking news, I only have Holgate that could possibly play (Lascelles is my other defender).

        Should I transfer Lascelles out just in case Holgate doesn’t play (and why?):
        A) Yes
        B) No

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          A. Need bench players for a reason.

          I did A. It's a chance to bring in a better defender fixtures I.e Everton, Burnley etc

      • Bushman

        Bench Vardy or Greenwood. I have Martial and Bruno so I'm thinking Greenwood. Agree?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      My bench in a poor state and little cash to fix. Thoughts on replacements or downgrades to create cash?

    15. Muscout

      Martinez
      TAA, Doherty, Kiko
      Salah, KDB, Martial, Bruno
      Kane, Vardy, Greenwood

      Who would you captain as a differential? (Rival has Vardy, Bruno, KDB and Greenwood)

      1. caddy118
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Martial or Salah? I guess you are praying for a Norwich performance.

        1. Muscout
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Which Chelsea player would you bring in?
          Rival has Willian
          I’m thinking maybe Vardy to Giroud (c)?

          1. caddy118
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Hmm. It is so tough but I personally jave ditched KdB... city have FaCup Semi fonal saturday so i can see him rested for some of this game. That opens up pulisic...willian just to counter his/her chelsea prospect

    16. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Would anyone take a hit?

      McCarthy
      TAA Doherty Stevens
      Mane Bruno Mahrez Foden
      Greenwood Vardy Jesus (C)

      Too many questions yet not many answers hence I am posting my FH team (dropped from 800 to 3,5K last 2 weeks)

      DDG
      Alonso Doherty TAA
      Salah Pulisic Sterling Foden Bruno
      Giroud Jesus(C)

      1. caddy118
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Just the one MUFC attacker? I would have martial/rash in place of foden or giroud... but they could all be scoring BIG this GW

    18. FPL Alaska
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Any changes to this FH team?

      Pope
      Doherty - Digne - Azpi
      Bruno - Sterling (c) - Dilva - Pulisic - Willian
      Jesus - Ings
      (3.9; Rashford, Stevens, Lamptey)

      1. Genji3lade
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yep, just be aware of the risk captaining Sterling

      2. caddy118
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I find more people have Rash, so dare not bench him. Ings would take that step back for me

        1. FPL Alaska
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Ya I have been bouncing back and forth between them. Rash definitely looked good in the last game.

    19. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Would you bench Greenwood this week?

      1. Billybigspuds
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, looked tired

        1. Dele
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          This

    20. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mane + Ings or Bernandes + Jesus?

    21. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Worth keeping KDB?

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Always

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        won't move up with him, take a risk

    22. No Salah
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mini league leader leading by only 1 point. He will surely captain Sterling.

      Should I also captain Sterling? Or Foden? He doesn’t have Foden.
