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.

    Anyone thinks whether Laporte might start? On FanTeam with different deadline thinking that I might do him to Alonso for -4? Otherwise I am stuck with Fernadez if Laporte doesn't play

  8. Distinctly Average

    Jesus captainers...lets go

    1. Firminooooo

      You are all alone. Sorry.

  9. Rolls-Royce

    Will Salah outscore Foden this week?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe, but Foden certainly better value on paper.

    3. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe he will - at more than double the price.

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I think I kinda panicked by Salah last week. Would've gone Foden this week had I saved the transfer.

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          *buy even

    7. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years

      salah massively overlooked this week will very likely haul vs a horrible arsenal def

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

      -4 for me. Vardy > Ings and Kevin > Sterling. Could well backfire.

  11. goriuanx
    • 13 Years

    FPL will be end up changing deadline rules next season in my opinion.

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

      They need too it's ridiculous

      1. Arctic monkeys

        Fun*

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Should be 2 hours before 1st KO.

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

        I said that before and got abuse

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years

          Poor fudg

        2. Rainer

        This. Would make complete sense to me, and wouldn't be a detriment to many.

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years

      should just be midnight of day before, save all the nonsense

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Midnight day before and you should be only able to confirm it after drinking virgins blood in an old cementary.

          Is that where they cement dead bodies? 😉

            • 6 Years

            Yeah of those who blanked as TC in Italy.

    4. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years

      changed to what ?

    5. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years

      Half an hour earlier?

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

        I'd be on board with this.

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

      Naahh
      They are powerful.
      Can easily find him if they want.
      But i don't think they care.

      It's actually good for marketing i guess

    7. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Why ?

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        because some people (FPL_Rockstar being an example) clearly get info about lineups before the FPL deadline

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

        People in Japan who play FPL for instance shouldn’t have to get up at 3am for team news

        1. SackWenger
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yes they should - they are in Japan, let them do the Japanese version or if i want to their version then i have to work to their times.

          JLM

    8. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      no reason for that

    9. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      absolutely. Becoming a farce this season, having to follow some random bloke on twitter not to fall behind on info

      1. SackWenger
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I agree with this. The suggestion of 2hrs before kick-off as deadline is better or whatever is needed to ensure this information isn't readily available.

    10. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      F@k off dont put ideas to their head. Mark might be lurking here.

      Takes the fun away.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yea fun to have an unfair advantage over casuals. IMagine being so much of a spineless person you need advantages like that to beat people who barely watch football at FPL

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

        Not trying to provoke here, but I'm curious about your definition of "fun."

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

          Fun, as in you appreciate the strategy of picking a lineup with a bench that can cover you in the event of benchings?

          Or fun, as in the randomness of something like Pep Roulette?

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

      How long does it typically take the servers to lock things in for the gameweek? I've seen "The game is being updated" for 20+ minutes.

      I have a feeling that's more an issue than anything.

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

        This is the real issue!

    12. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure why this should be a thing? We hate this game enough so surprise benchings are the last thing I want to deal with.

  12. Jolly Good
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Chickened out of foden to sterling(c) last minute

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Foden was the better choice imo

      1. Jolly Good
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah I’m repenting now...

    2. FantasyHero
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling wayyy better

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

      Picked Foden, no regrets. This season is over for me haha

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

      Went with Foden(C) here. Trust the gut

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

    Gut finally kicked in and told me to go with AWB, Salah, Foden, Giroud to fill in my FH. Problem is, I missed the deadline by 1 minute. Ended up here:

    Pope
    Azpi, Digne, Trent
    Willian, Pulisic, Sterling, Dilva, Bruno
    Jesus, Ings

    Good squad, but both ML rivals have Salah. Suddenly very nervous.

  14. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Manchester United fan with Pulisic(C)

    What should i hope for?

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Leicester not to win

    2. beric
      • 12 Years

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

      If he has, I don't blame him

      FPL Twitter is a weird place

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

      Yep lol. Followers only now!

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        So i gotta make a twitter account now?

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

          If you’re not following him now I doubt you’ll be able to follow him after making an account. Just rely on people posting it here in the comments

          1. Tempestic
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I mean if the site crashes thats not much use

            At least he did it after the deadline 🙂
            Still love him, what a legend

        2. DAZZ
          • 9 Years

    1. SAY MY NAME

      thank you

  18. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    No Chelsea and Foden(C). Could go very well or very wrong

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably v.wrong tbh

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

      Good luck for another good gw

  19. FantasyHero
    • 7 Years

    jorginho starting means willian if off penalties ?

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

      Is*

    2. beric
      • 12 Years

      Hopefully

    3. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      maybe

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      only thrre people knows it. Lampard, Willian and jorginho. You can ask one of them. Pointless to ask a bunch of fpl players with no insight to Chelsea dressing room affairs.

  20. Feanor
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Did KDB to Sterling, but captained Willian. And benched Greenwood to play Vardy and Ings.

    This could be the week I really blow my chance of a top 1K finish.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not a bad situation to be in 😆

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Get out of that mindset, this is the we you enter the top 500

    3. Whiskerz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Made the same sub play. No chelsea for me though :/

  21. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Changed my captain twice within the last 5 minutes:

    From Bruno (C) to Jesus (C) to Salah (C)

    Usually I try to avoid making any decisions just before deadline but I had a brainfart.

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

      I want David Silva into Antonio

    2. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Hmm, even more worried about Bruno now. I changed mine from him to Salah to Alonso

  22. JonSnow
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    The site crashing with one minute to go and my transfers not going through it just hard luck i assume for not making them earlier?
    Had three transfers lined up and had activated BB earlier.

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Always a risky business

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

        My bench boost is now soyunco, aurier and vardy instead of azpi, digne, giroud(C) big ole red arrow incoming

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

      This site was down for me but all my FF connections stable.

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

        im at work and rushed back to my computer and swear i got it in time before it ticked over to 02:15 on my computer. I am remote though so internet up here is borderline dial up

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

      FPL didn't go down.

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

        must have been on my end then

  23. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Some sad creatures on here defending the early line up leaks!!!

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

      I agree... Next season just make the deadline 90 mins before KO.

      That way the severs can update and we have time pre match to peek at opponents line ups.

    2. Supertrooper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Gives who want it edge over rest of the field, what not to like?

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

      Information is there to be used. Whether you use it or not, is up to you.

      Calling someone sad because they gain from an advantage is sad within itself.

    4. Amsterhammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I use them, but it isn't in the spirit of good gamesmanship.

  24. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    So Chelsea has 1 English player in starting XI

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

      Boooo!!!

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Standard. Their best team should have zero British players in it.

  25. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I went Richarlison Captain. My thought process BORED and Villa need to attack...

    Wish me luck i'm miles behind.

  26. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Have some major FOMO on Alonso this game

  27. spamking
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    FPL Rockster deleted his account? Fraudulence??

  28. FPLord
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Changed everyone bar Fernandes in my FH team. 50 point swing in either direction on the cards.

    Pope
    Azpi Alonso AWB
    Pulisic Fernandes Antonio Silva Sterling(c)
    Jesus Ings

    No Salah is my main worry, but you can't have em all.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Lovely team. Personally would have picked Martial over Antonio. Who is on your bench? And who is your VC?

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

      I actually had the same team before doing a last minute change lol:

      Pope
      Azpi - TAA - Digne
      Martial - Antonio - Dilva (VC) - Sterling - Willian
      Jesus (C) - Ings

      Pretty good anyway? ^.-

  29. Superflymonk
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I need to confess my sins. When I saw the team news and every man and his dog was getting Alonso, I panicked, I thought this is a golden opportunity to go for broke. In the heat of the moment, I picked the highest scoring Chelsea defender subconsciously, I thought I was picking Alonso but turned out to be Azpilicueta for a hit... for Doherty. I know how this will end... Better get my blankie and tissues, gonna cry myself tp sleep.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Some guy accidentally captained Antonio last GW. Not all 'errors' turn out bad.

      1. Superflymonk
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        A man can hope... thank you

    2. deathcabofdevil
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I knew it 10 minutes before the deadline, still went Azpi over Alonso on FH.

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      heard about far worse than that. and you got the one who is nailed on if you need him for 37 and 38. i did too, but my plan is to get him feck out after Norwich, for Tarkowski.

  30. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who else went Sterling(C)

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes mate, your words inspired me earlier

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sold Salah for Sterling (C)

    3. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yepp

    4. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I did. Thinking Foden all week but did KdB + Vardy > Sterling(C) + Jesus -4
