GoalScorer Challenge September 10

Fantasy Football Scout joining forces with GoalScorer Challenge

Fantasy Football Scout have teamed up with the popular GoalScorer Challenge competition this season.

We will be giving away a Premium Membership to the best manager every month to go with the game’s £500 top prize for the campaign’s ultimate winner.

If you have not played before, GoalScorer Challenge is a very simple, and FREE, game. Every week you pick one player from the Premier League who you think is most likely to score. The more goals that man racks up, the more points you do. But pick wisely, as you can only pick each player once per season.

There are three types of Gameweeks:

Premier League – most weekends there will be a full round of fixtures comprising games on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. These will all be included. If there is a full round of fixtures during midweek (for example over the Christmas period) these will be counted as a separate Gameweek.

International – during international breaks, you still have to pick a Premier League player. However, you get the points for any goals they score for their country. Only full internationals count, any underage matches are not included. International Gameweeks will span three days and for 2020/21 there are seven of these in total.

Cup – on FA Cup weekends, you are again limited to players playing for Premier League teams. The EFL Cup final will also be included as it will take place alongside a regular round of Premier League matches.

Each player will only ever play once in each Gameweek, the first game for which he is eligible. If, for example, a national team play twice over a weekend, the first match after the week’s deadline will be the applicable fixture. 

If your player does not play, whether it be due to injury, suspension or being left out, you have still used them up and cannot re-pick them for the duration of the season.

If your player’s game is postponed, you do not get to re-pick the player and any goals he scores in the rearranged fixture will not count.

The onus is on you to make sure your pick is eligible, particularly on international weeks where some games can kick off before the deadline.

Full details, rules and entry can be FOUND HERE.

        Always good to plan ahead 😀

        Interest to me is how he might add to Grealish - one of the great forgotten. I rather fancy Villa to do nicely this time around and Grealish did pretty well last time after all in all sorts of fixtures with absolutely no one to aim at.

        Very much on my watchlist is Grealish

    Is there any reason why the fixtures were not arranged so that Man C played Man U first week, meaning only one game was postponed, given they both had European commitments from last season as was likely to be postponed anyway? This could then have been re-arranged later in the season. Just seems daft that Burnley aren't playing A.Villa.

      Sky face.

      They didn't want the game midweek because they'd get less advertising revenue. Seems daft when games could get suspended due to the virus. If they have to curtail the season, if everyone has played the same number of games it would be fairer, although there will always be bleating.

      Well balanced, strong and you have money in the bank to give you options beyond GW1.

      I am struggling to see the advantage with the mid oriced mids over defence at the moment and I am therefore leaning towards a heavier defence.

      Everyone here will offer a different opinion but no one really knows.

      As said solid with options GW2 and beyond. You cant do much more than that really

    GoalScorer challenge are a small scale, free to play game. This is just to help promote them. I get some of the criticism on other partnerships but how about actually look into who these guys are before you start slating it?

    I’ve played it for a few years now, the guy that runs it is a really nice bloke that just wanted to set something up that’s easy to play and fun. That’s it.

          Change a 4.5 defender to a 4.0 defender and you get Ings.

    Looking at fixtures I feel i won't be captaining Salah and will probably drop him for Bruno at some point early., Based on that do I dare leave him out from the off? Which would you go for?

    A] - Salah, Alli, Lamptey, Mitchell,
    B] - Havertz, Son, Doherty, Saiss,

      Having Salah for the first game and then a route to Bruno seems like a decent strategy to me.

    a. Bring in KDB for Son next GW.?
    b. Or bring in KDB for Salah next week and use that 2.5 mil now to upgrade the defence?

    Any help is greatly recived - RMT

    Pope (Steer)

    KWP, TAA, Vinagre, Justin (Mitchell)

    ASM, Jota, Salah, Aub (Bissouma)

    Kane, Werner (Davis)

    I cant see a GK keeping a clean sheet that is worth the 5.5 Pope is - but could change to McCarthy or Ryan for the 1M saving

        Not sure - I know they have picked up a wingback this window but they are missing two now. Adama can play there but thinking for the first few weeks he will stick with Vinagre.
