Interview

An interview with Fantasy Premier League world number one Chris McGowan

Most of us mere mortals will be playing for mini-league glory or a landmark rank as the final Gameweek of this drawn-out season approaches.

For a handful of Fantasy bosses, however, there is the carrot of finishing ahead of every single other FPL manager in the world.

There are few of us who will ever be in with a shout of clinching an FPL crown, with chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen – the current world number four – among them this year.

Top of the pile after Gameweek 37+ and two points ahead of his nearest challenger is Fantasy Football Scout user, Chris McGowan.

Chris, who goes by the name Queens of the South Age on the site, had first reached the summit in Gameweek 23 and reclaimed top spot in Gameweek 36+ after a brief wobble.

We previously interviewed him back in February when he was kind enough to discuss his meteoric rise, strategy, captaincy, chip usage and more.

Armed with his Triple Captain chip and a slender lead heading into Gameweek 38+, Chris has again generously agreed to answer more of our questions in an interview you can read below.


Scout: First things first – how are you feeling? Is there nerves, excitement or a bit of a Zen attitude to the whole thing?

Chris: To be honest, I’ve been pretty chilled about it up until now and just taken things however they have turned out. I never expected to be going into the last Gameweek in first place, so there’s definitely some excitement creeping in to see how it turns out. 


Scout: Last time we spoke with you after Gameweek 26, you were number one in the world but said you’d settle for a place in the top 1k. At what point did it become an all-out tilt at the title?

Chris: Probably in Gameweek 35+. I had a terrible run after the restart and watched others do great week after week. That week got me right back into the mix and in with a decent chance. I would happily take a top-three spot as I’ve been up there for so long this season that it would be disappointing to finish without a prize – but obviously, I’m aiming for number one now.


Scout: You were determined to “do your own thing” when we last spoke and not pay too much attention to your nearest rivals’ teams. Has that approach changed at all with one Gameweek to go? And if so, who are the managers you are paying the most attention to?

Chris: That mindset pretty much worked up until Gameweek 36+. I then spent too much time thinking about what Joshua Bull [the current world number two] might do and was convinced he’d play his Wildcard or Free Hit – which he didn’t.

Up until an hour before the deadline, I was set on getting David Silva in for Riyad Mahrez and captaining him. I ended up going for Phil Foden instead as I was sure Joshua would have Silva and I was trying to be different. It caught me out, that one, but then again Foden scored the week after and Silva didn’t play at all so I’m not sure how my team would have looked as I wouldn’t have had the money to get Chris Wood in for Aaron Connolly, like I did.

Scout: Are you much of a social media user and have you given it a bit of a wide berth this last week to clear your mind?

Chris: Not at all, really. I don’t have a Facebook or a Twitter account so I’m never on them. I’ll check the FantasyPL Reddit and sometimes comment on posts in there. 


Scout: You still have your Triple Captain chip remaining – what was your main reason for keeping it for Gameweek 38+? 

Chris: Two reasons for that. The first is that I stupidly didn’t use it on Mohamed Salah in Liverpool’s Double Gameweek 24. After that, I’ve never really settled on a week and, as it got closer to the end, I liked the idea that I might win it thanks to an amazing Triple Captain haul on the final day!

Scout: We’re not going to ask the obvious and get you to reveal your exact choices for your team. But who is on your candidate long-list for the Triple Captaincy?

Chris: The top players I have are obviously Raheem Sterling, Sadio Mane, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford but those Manchester United picks have looked jaded in the last couple of games. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has run them into the ground but they do have a few days’ rest before Sunday’s game, so are still an option. If they needed a win they might be more enticing but a draw is good enough for them now so they might not be as attacking unless they go a goal down. 

I think still having the chip makes it worse for anybody chasing as, if they are guessing my captain, then is it worth them having or bringing in the same player just to get single or double points versus my triple? If I was chasing on a Free Hit, I think it would play on my mind and affect my team choice.


Scout: Your chip strategy was interesting: Free Hit in Gameweek 30+, Wildcard in Gameweek 33+ and Bench Boost in Gameweek 34+. What were your main motivations for overlooking the unlimited transfers ahead of Gameweek 30+? Was it a case of liking the look of your team already or a long-term mistrust of the likes of Villa and Arsenal?

Chris: I’m still against that ‘free Wildcard’ that everybody was given for the restart as I was in a good position and it gave people the chance to overhaul their teams even if they had already used their second Wildcard. I liked my team for Gameweek 31+ and didn’t want to commit to doing the unlimited transfers for Gameweek 30+ and then Wildcarding straight away.

The Wildcard in Gameweek 33+ was forced a bit down to the poor scores I had since the restart and I needed to try and get back on track. The Bench Boost was just a kind of “it needs to be played so just get it done”. The fixtures weren’t too bad but it was a poor return, as it turned out. 


Scout: You were 52 points adrift of then-leader Joshua Bull in Gameweek 33+ but a spectacular double-up on Raheem Sterling (c) and Michail Antonio in Gameweek 35+ saw you come back into contention. What prompted you to sell Kevin De Bruyne for Sterling that Gameweek?

Chris: It was at the stage of needing to make differential changes as there’s no point in having all the same players.

There were some rumours that De Bruyne was getting a rest and that just swayed me to go for Sterling. He had been looking sharp and I just got extremely lucky with that one.

Antonio was in my Wildcard team and he had been looking good, too. Four goals was just ridiculous luck though. Sometimes it just lands in your favour and that was definitely one of those times. 


Scout: Do you reckon you’ll take a hit in Gameweek 38+ or will it be simply a use of your free transfer?

Chris: I’m undecided as yet on whether I will take a hit it but if I do, it will be because I am Triple Captaining one of the players I bring in. It’s such a tough decision as I’ll be kicking myself if I make changes for a hit and they do worse than what I had. It’s a one-off chance and not something that can pay off after a few games. 


Scout: Has team/player motivation (eg being ‘on the beach’ or chasing the Golden Boot) been a factor in your picks in the run-in?

Chris: A little. West Ham were fighting for safety up until now so Antonio was good. I brought Danny Ings back in after the manager’s comments saying he wouldn’t be rested and pretty much play as much as possible to chase the Golden Boot.

Scout: Onto the big day itself. Will you be logged on at 2.55pm hoping for any early team news hints or will you have made your transfers long before the last-minute carnage?

Chris: I’ll definitely be hoping for that last-minute news. The worry with that though is that everybody else is doing the same and we have experienced FPL servers being unable to cope before. 


Scout: Where/how will you be watching the action on Sunday?

Chris: I’m not actually sure if I’ll get to watch the games live yet. Afternoon kick-offs rarely get watched as I’m normally busy with the family at the weekends during the day. That’s why I’ve enjoyed the last few weeks as I’ve been able to watch a lot more games at night.

Last season was the same and I was leading my mini-league going into the last game, with second place pretty close behind. I switched off all alerts and WhatsApp group updates and managed to avoid everything to watch Match of the Day without knowing any scores. I might have to do the same this time – but the suspense would be killing me!


Our thanks again to Chris, who we wish the best of luck for Gameweek 38+.

    Which transfer is better if Jesus is benched?

    a) Rashford, Bruno, Jesus ---> Auba, Kane, Dilva

    b) Rashford, Bruno, Jesus ---> Auba, Callum Wilson, Mahrez

    c) Rash, Jesus, Saiss ---> Auba, Mahrez, Dunk

    Leading my mini league by 1 point!

    Here is my FH team:

    Pope (Button)
    Bardsley-Walker-Aurier (Williams and Kilman )
    Salah-KDB-Martial-Antonio-Sterling(C)
    Ings -DCL (Greenwood)

    Any suggestion?

    1. moz_1983
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't go near DCL personally, I'd prefer starting Greenwood against a shakey defence. Wood would be better if you're not sold on starting Greenwood.

  3. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years

    Chasimg im ML

    Rival has greenwood

    Would u start DCL over greenwood then? Already have 5 playing mids

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

      Yes

    2. moz_1983
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      DCL hasn't scored once since the restart, Greenwood is against a defence which has lost three starting players and some back ups.

  4. Kaz77
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    All

    I have a tricky dilemma and would appreciate any thoughts:
    a) Ings and big defence of Trent, Laporte, Pieters
    or
    b) Auba and cheap defence of Pieters, Tarkowski, Stephens

    To go with
    Pope
    Salah, Sterling, Dilva, Martial, Antonio
    Kane

    Thanks all

    1. Bring back Rafa
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Out of those options A)

      But I'd alter it slightly and ditch Laporte for Aurier and get a third city attacker ,(prob Mahrez) for Martial or Antonio.
      Great team btw

      1. Kaz77
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks for the reply. Yeah that has been a tough one to decide on. Antonio has hit brilliant form recently (and I missed his hauls), and Martial has been very consistent recently. I wanted to spread the love but not having 3 city players would probably be foolish. With the FH to play there are too many options!

    Advice please? Just need to upgrade a very poor bench with limited funds for the final day. Would you rather bring in:

    A) Pieters and Soucek
    B) Aurier and Saka

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years

        Cheers. I am chasing and ML leaders have Son, but no Liv mids. Although they have FH too

    4. Won't sleep till after…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Agree, B. Son and TAA have high threat level.

  7. Bunk Moreland
    • 8 Years

    Spurs need a win to get Europa League. Think Mourinho wants it?

    1. Won't sleep till after…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Levy will want any extra dosh that's going so yes.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Yes - back door to Champions League cause I'm not sure they'll consider themselves shoe ins for top 4

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

      Yeah surely they bang CPL who are in terrible form.

    4. Shatner's Bassoon

  8. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Which transfer is best?

    a) Rashford, Bruno, Pulisic ---> Auba, Son, Grealish

    b) Rashford, Bruno, Norwood ---> Auba, Grealish, Fodder (play Pulisic)

  9. gauzah

    buried on last page... any thoughts on this one chaps?

    Martinez
    Robertson Pieters Aurier
    Salah Sterling KDB Dilva Antonio
    Kane Giroud

    GTG?

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years

      FH? Not sure on Giroud

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

        FH aye.

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

          Prefer Ings

    2. moz_1983
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pretty much. Only reservation would be Giroud against a defence that's been tough to break down of late, but then again he's on form!

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

        Re: Giroud. Supposedly Wolves have been struggling from set pieces, Giroud is a presence in the box.

  10. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Mail article says Sterling & Mendy expected to be rested. How much stock are we putting in this?

    1. Won't sleep till after…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A lot I'd say. City have 2nd guaranteed. Pep likes to rotate. And they've got the Champions League coming up which is more of a priority than Norwich at home.

    2. moz_1983
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      They've been pictured on holiday, but so have other players to be fair - including Mahrez.

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

      No stock.

      They have one more game left and it's the last competitive one before the Real game. I expect them to field a pretty much full strength lineup although they might take players off early.

    4. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Zero. Pure guessing

    5. G00LI0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I am surprised with the volume of price changes for some City players over the past few days. But it applies to players in general. We may get some early lineups on Sunday and Transfering so early seems crazy.

      Not to mention frustrating if your waiting early news before finalising transfers.

  11. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which combo score more?

    A) TAA - Robbo - Pulisic - Antonio

    B) Diop - Martinez - Mane - Mahrez

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

      I like A

  12. Andrew
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    FH good to go?

    Martinez (Button)
    Bardsley Pieters Stephens (Branthwite Williams)
    Sterling (c) Salah Dilva Bruno (Douglas Luiz)
    Kane Ings Jesus

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

      Defence not very good. Maybe downgrade a forward/mid and reinvest

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

        2 x Burnley which a lot of people are going for?

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

          If you deffo think they will get the clean sheet then it's a good choice. Not sold on SOU defence personally.

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good. Only Q would be over Bruno I think... I'd prefer Tony.

      Then you can get Reina as sub keeper in case Martinez doesnt show up (never know!!)

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

        Yep, think Tony over Bruno. Not sure on Jesus either

      2. Andrew
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah Bruno / Martial is doing my head in a bit, it's the penalties that United keep getting which is making me sway towards Bruno

        1. Shatner's Bassoon
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Big chance Rashford takes the next one IMO (they've switched around a bit)

    Got 1 FT, no FH, 5 points behind leader who has his FH still to use

    A) Pulisic > Antonio
    B) De Gea > Pope
    C) open to suggestions

    Thanks!

    Sorry for repost its moving fast here

  14. Kuzser
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What would be the best move here guys? Chasing 20 pts (ML leader's key differentials are Salah and Auba)

    1) Vardy KdB Taa -> Kane/Auba Sterling Pieters for -4
    2) Vardy Martial/Bruno Doherty -> Ings Mane Piters for -4
    3) Vardy Willian Doherty -> Wood Sterling Pieters for -4
    4) Vardy Willian -> Kane/Auba Dilva
    5) Vardy Willian KdB-> Ings Mane Dilva for -4

    McCarthy
    TAA - Doherty - Baldock
    KdB - Mahrez - Fernandes - Martial - Willian
    Jimenez - Vardy

    Subs: Greenwood Lascelles Lund. Krul

  15. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    25 pts off top 10k. Does this FH team have enough differential & potential?

    Pope
    TAA VVD Pieters
    Salah Sterling Mahrez Dilva
    Kane Auba Greenwood

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mahrez to KDB. Vvd to Cheapest best option. I funds allow. Diop 4.3?

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

      As long as Man United options fail

  16. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Greenwood = Kane 14/15.

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

      I don't think he's gonna cost 9.5m next season though.

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        No but in 2 seasons time he will be premium. His shooting with hardly any back lift is brilliant.

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

          Maybe. Depends if he nails down a place. If they buy Sancho that also complicate things majorly.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            In FPL terms yes I agree. They will be like citee and instead of pep roulette it will be Ole roulette. If they do get sancho then wow.

    Haven't decided on a captain yet.
    Is it worth bringing in KDB?

      KDB is my big problem. Can’t not have him against Norwich. Best offence against worst defence. Even 30minutes of him is enough.

      1. Motong-Moting
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Well, my thought exactly.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Then ings to Greenwood and martial to KDB

          1. Motong-Moting
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks. Sounds good

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

      I would be a lot more worried about not having Sterling than not having KdB.

    Which is better?

    a) Salah, Richarlison, Wood

    b) Auba, Son, Grealish

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

      A

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B. Love the Grealish shout. Could be golden. Club man. Need a win. If he is as good as he can be, then he could run riot.

    On a FH. Would you rather go with Greenwood or Wood as a 3rd starting striker? Have Martial.

    1. Kaz77
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Wood - Greenwood is not consistent enough for me and Lei could put up a little fight

    2. Chris_H
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What do you do with the extra ££? Wood good diff.

    3. Motong-Moting
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Go with Greenwood. Has more incentive to score.

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

        This

    4. Forever In Our Shadow

      Mixing it up is best. 3 city and 1or 2 of others gives better balance. Ings.

    5. Rover
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If on a FH I would wait to see who starts up top among the teams with something to fight for, or among players with a point to prove, and then get them in.

      Origi could be great if he starts. Deeney as club captain will have to step up. Maybe a punt on the Bournemouth striker.

    After a -4 I will be left with one of these combination. Which is best? Will have Dilva and Sterling in all 3

    A) Pieters, De Bruyne, fernandes
    B) Doherty, Mahrez, Fernandes
    C) Doherty, Salah, Foden

    Thanks for any help

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A with martial

      1. Jambot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I have Martial in all 3. Thanks though leaning A atm

          Ok. Then a with mahrez. 3 city is a must. 8-0. 😉

  24. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A) Greenwood, Son, Dilva, Martial, Ederson
    B) Greenwood, KDB, Dilva, Martial, Pope
    C) Wood, Dilva, Fernandes, Martial, Ederson
    D) Greenwood, Kane, Fernandes, Martial, Ederson
    E) Greenwood, KDB, Son, Dilva, Pope (-4)

    Cheers

    Do we think Bruno > Son is better than Vardy > Kane? (also have Greenwood)

    Kinda feel like Utd might have hit a bit of a wall, which could be prime Vardy

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

      Bruno still the best UTD option. Penalties and set pieces.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Rashford might take next one, it would normally be his turn.

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

      I think Kane is looking very good as an option. He has the underlying stats to help his cause too.

  26. n14mul

    Fh draft number I have no idea,

    Martinez

    Pieters long aurier
    Salah sterling mahrez dilver mane
    Greenwood kane

    Button Williams lamptey connoly

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      thoughts please

    2. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Almost identical to mine so top marks 😉

    3. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have been toying with a very similar team but have the funds for TAA over Aurier

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Triple city and pool??

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

      I would downgrade one of Williams or Lampty (which ever is least likely to start) to a 3.9m fodder and upgrade Long to Bardsely.

      Otherwise, looks good.

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        fair point, chance of pieters starting?

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

          I am confident Pieters starts as Charlie Taylor looks to be a doubt. Unless Dyche says otherwise during the press conference.

  27. ㅤRising
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Chose Mahrez or Dilva for Martial or Bruno

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

      Mahrez Bruno

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

      Martial > Dilva

  28. liiusions
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    City can only finish 2nd and have a comfortable home game. Surely Foden starts? Why wouldn’t Pep start him given he’s a young kid and needs all the experience he can get?

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

      Not interested about putting him in my team, just intrigued as to whose place he takes

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

        Mahrez.

        Yes. It's just as likely he starts. But I'm going to wait and see.

        They'll play something like:

        Rodri KdB Dilva
        Foden Jesus Sterling

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

          I am starting to think the same and Mahrez was nailed in my team...

          It’s almost a shame we can wait for team news rather than actually using our footballing knowledge to try work out who starts.

    2. Sterling Archer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He'll get 30 minutes, started last game, other players in his position need to be play to keep sharp for UCL

  29. Aubaaaaa
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which trio would you prefer?
    A. TAA Antonio Ings
    B. VVD Antonio Laca
    C. Robbo Auba Greenwood

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

      A

  30. AuFeld
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you start? Pick Two:

    - Willian (WOL)
    - Antonio (AVL)
    - Pulisic (WOL)
    - Greenwood (LEI)

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

      Antonio Pulisic

    2. Baps hunter
