Fantasy Football Scout share FPL tips with Mail+ ahead of new season

Fantasy Football Scout shared some FPL insight and tips with Mail+ this week.

David Munday and Sam Bonfield appeared on their website to talk about the key talking points ahead of the new season.

They discussed how to handle the lack of fixture for Manchester City and Manchester United in Blank Gameweek 1, including the various strategies of tackling that, with or without Wildcards.

Sam got stuck into the teams with the best fixtures at the start of the campaign, including her club Spurs before David highlighted which players have come into 2020/21 with attractive prices.

That included highlighting the £1.0m that could be saved by going with Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) instead of Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) while also discussing the price reductions on players such as Sergio Aguero (£10.5m) and Harry Kane (£10.5m).

Sam also looked at options at the opposite end of the scale, warning against investment in previously helpful assets who will struggle to offer value in 2020/21. That number included Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.5m) and John Lundstram (£5.5m) as well as a comparison between Danny Ings (£8.5m) and Che Adams (£6.0m).

Finally, the two FFS representatives gave their thoughts on the Gameweek 1 captaincy, highlighting the credentials of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£12.0m), Mohamed Salah (£12.0m), Timo Werner (£9.5m) and Kane.

    Hey guys, please help me out here.

    Vinagre for Saiss
    then drop Nyland for a 4.5 GK and alternate between him and Ramsdale?

    Guys,
    ASM is a Traore. He lacks a good end product and can be frustrating to own.

    What at all are people considering him when you can get a premium defender in Doherty for 0.5 more or a Man Utd defender for 0.5 less?

    Surely this makes no sense!

      Doherty isn't nailed and Man U defenders are a no go imo

      Lets say ASM is currently your 4th mid (with a crap 4.5 on the bench as 5th mid). To swap ASM for a Doherty, you lose a potentially good 4.5 defender, and now have a 2nd crap 4.5 mid on the bench. So you need to look at that trade off also

        The point here is 6.0 mids and below offer much less value when you compare with defenders.

          Yes I know, but my point is a 4.5 defender, whom you will lose for said 6.0 mid, offer much more value than a 4.5 mid, whom you will gain in exchange

      If Doherty was at Wolves I'd suspect he'd be as permanent as TAA

      We are considering because we have to fill 5 midfield spots, for which Doherty is of no use.

        How many midfielders sub 6.0m can outscore the likes of Doherty, Maguire, AWB or Laporte?

          Point is, hard to fill up with 5x 8m-12m midfielders, and the 5.0 and 4.5 midfielders will score even less than ASM. So the real question is about team structure - do you want to play with both 4.5 midfielder and 4.5 forward?

      ASM isn't a defender. The comparison of players between different positions is misleading. Doherty needs clean sheets for points and Spurs only got 8 of those last season. Fewer than Brighton or Watford.

    Ferguson - Would be nailed but injured
    Mitchell - Nailed until PVA returns
    Douglas - 50/50
    Johnson - Pretty nailed
    Buur - Could potentially play but atm quite unlikely

    This is currently my understanding of the 4.0s. Any info suggesting otherwise?

      Johnson underperformed in preseason and got substituted in the first half in one of their last games.

      Mitchell could be at risk from Kelly and Ward too. For now their defence is so injury strewn I think you're paying 4.0 for negative points, which is poor value.

      Struijk is in with a chance of regular starts.
