SCOUT PICKS FOR GAMEWEEK 26

GOALKEEPER

A trip to Leeds isn’t the easiest test but Emiliano Martinez has kept seven clean sheets on the road this season and at the very least should rack up the save points at Elland Road. The fact that he’s the fifth-cheapest goalkeeper in this FanTeam event is also a big factor.

DEFENDERS

The creativity offered by assist merchants Lucas Digne and Trent Alexander-Arnold makes their picks self-explanatory but they can’t all be premium purchases given that we’re on a budget, so we’re hoping for a dour stalemate at the Hawthorns this weekend. Five clean sheets in seven for the Seagulls raises hopes for another shut-out for wing-back Joel Veltman, while Sam Allardyce may be ever-so-slowly turning the ship around in the Midlands following the goalless draw at Burnley last weekend. Kyle Bartley, who has popped up with the odd goal this season, is our bargain-bin selection.

MIDFIELDERS

Raphinha has 10 attacking returns in his last 12 outings, while a resurgent Gareth Bale has four in three in all competitions and was a game-changer when he was introduced at West Ham last weekend. A rest in midweek should see the Welshman start against Burnley. It’s more the opposition that leads us to pick Mohamed Salah but even in Liverpool’s current slump, the Egyptian still has four goals in his last five games.

FORWARDS

Two goals in two for Richarlison and a cheaper price tag than Dominic Calvert-Lewin sees the Brazilian make the cut for Everton’s clash with an out-of-sorts Southampton. Ollie Watkins is cheaper still and is up against a Leeds defence that can self-combust at a moment’s notice. Those two more affordable picks allow us to splurge our remaining budget on Harry Kane, who has eight goals in 10 against Burnley.

75k EVENT

For those Fantasy managers looking for an even bigger prize pool, FanTeam have a €75k Weekly Monster event running simultaneously in Gameweek 26.

The rules and scoring system are the same as the €12,500 Weekly Monster event, with entries costing €20.

HOW TO PLAY: A BRIEF GUIDE

Slightly different from the usual squad-based games, FanTeam managers are given a budget of €105m to build a team of 11 players that includes at least one goalkeeper, three defenders, two midfielders and one forward.

There is no bench or manual substitutes; instead, there is a ‘Safety Net’ feature. If a player in your Fantasy team isn’t in the starting XI for their side, they will automatically be substituted for the next priced player from the same position and club.

Captains score double points, as usual.

For a more detailed rundown of the rules, click the above image to enlarge.

HOW DOES THE SCORING WORK?

FPL managers looking for a way to make their knowledge pay will have no trouble picking up FanTeam‘s Gameweek 26 Weekly Monster, with its familiar scoring system.

Think of it as FPL without the bonus points, with a few other exceptions – detailed in the graphic above.

      This 'giveaway' smacks of desperation!

  2. Lionel Ronaldo

    Most nailed and cost effective Everton def?

    1. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Pickford in all honesty...but Rubber Digne Rapids is far more exciting

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I've got Digne and I'm excited to own him for DGW

        1. Lionel Ronaldo
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Way too expensive for me

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Digne I reckon - attacking & def

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not cost effective for me. 2 games in 3 games, still secure?

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Got it 🙂 Eve fixtures are good if you look ahead beyond the double. Cost-effective means return on points for the value you invest. Who else from Eve - you're looking for clean-sheets?

    3. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Digne. Always a threat

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I am looking for most cost effective ways into the Everton def

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Keane

  3. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    On a Wildcard:

    A) KDB / Pereira / Dias / Gundo

    B) Salah / Cancelo / Dias / Gundo

    1. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A for the excitement

    2. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah A

    3. Viper
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    4. JohnnyRev7
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's basically KDB + Pereria vs Salah + Cancelo. I have Dias + Gundo.

      They're both exciting options.

      I'm not sure about A. 2 players coming back from long term injuries in a DGW? It could work.

      I'd go for B simply because I also have them in my own team. It's maybe the less of a gamble.

      As always, be your own man in your decisions and good luck!

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks all. Still unsure on this one. I do feel KDB could be a punt worth taking.

        1. JohnnyRev7
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          If you feel good about it - go for it!

  4. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any hits needed?

    BB26:

    Martinez
    Cancelo Stones (vc) Lowton Mitchell
    Salah Bruno Son Gundogan
    Kane (c) Bamford

    Areola Raphinha Antonio Dallas

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No. GTG

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bench lowton and start raph

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It’s a BB.

        I am trying to make it as realistic as possible to measure how many points the chip earns me. I think I’d give Burnley defence two chances over Raphinha.

        1. JohnnyRev7
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          "It's a BB" made me LOL!

          You quite clearly stated "BB26" at the start. Some people aren't good at speed reading. Or need glasses.

    3. Viper
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd play Raphinha over Mitchell for sure

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Oh wait, it's bench boost? Nevermind

        1. Zladan
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yep BB. Think I’d chance Mitchell twice anyway given his fixtures.

          1. Viper
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Looks good. I'd do Antonio - > Watkins (Or DCL if you can afford)

    4. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Our teams are almost identical!

      Antonio, Lawton and Martínez
      V
      DCL, Konsa and McCarthy

      Looks good buddy

  5. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    No word on Maddison then?

    Gonna be a proper guessing game. Nothing DGW uncertainty eh..

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Rodgers presser tomorrow and we’ll get a lineup later?

  6. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which one?

    1. Ings>Kane (TC)

    2. Ings>Kane (C)
    4.0>Martinez
    Coufal>Konsa/Aina [-8]

    Bench Boost (15 players) and hope Grealish plays

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1

    2. Chief Break-Everything
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1

  7. Viper
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A. Robertson & Bamford

    B. Digne & DCL (-8)

    Who do you reckon comes out on top?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one. Be close I reckon. Probably not worth an 8 pointer

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        If you go on the assumption that Robertson gets 4 & Bamford 2 then DCL & Digne need to get 14 points before it starts to become profit.

        And that's assuming that both Robertson & Bamford completely blank. Another big assumption

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I'd assume a cs against shu for Robertson, so 8 pts min in all likelihood.

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

  8. A. PRISE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Chances of Gundo starting both games this GW? I'm thinking he will only start one but was wondering what everyone else thinks

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's a lottery. I'd think 1 start but no one knows.

    2. Viper
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going with my own personal assumption that Gundo & Cancelo get 1 & Dias gets 2.

      Literally just a guess though

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Assuming City play a back four, and with a nearly fully fit squad they have 11 options for the remaining 6 places higher up the pitch. Expect a lot of rotation in these next two GWs.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        *Id say it's probably a lot of rotation from here on out - league is basically sewn up & Pep needs that Champs Lge for the CV

        But guys like Gundo/Cancelo/Stones/Dias are just so cheap that it doesn't really matter

        1. Tango74
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Hi maximus

          TC OR BB?? Lol

        2. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          They are cheap yes, but playing both is important for DGWs

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Rodri KDB Gundogan
        Foden Jesus Sterling

        Mahrez Aguero Torres
        Fernandinho B.Silva

        Pretty healthy options right now.

  11. Drogba Legend
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Don't need to use WC here, right? Only SGW players are Bam and Raph.

    Pope
    Dias - Stones - Robbo
    Salah - Bruno - Rashford - Raph - Gundo
    DCL - Bamford

    Fodder - Antonio - Chilwell - Fodder

    A) Save
    B) Bam/Antonio > Watkins
    C) Rashford > Son
    D) Chilwell > Digne
    E) Something else

    Cheers!

    1. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      E) Rashford to Bale

      oooooh

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B to Watkins or D

  12. roghippo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is it crazy to play Tarkowski over Cancelo?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    3. mezza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It would be even assuming Cancelo only gets 1 game.

    4. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      yes very

  13. rubberdignerapids

    Looking good? Or do I need to do Bruno>KDB a week earlier and TC?

    Martinez (Fabri)
    Shaw, Cancelo, Reguillon (Burn, Struijk)
    Bruno, Salah, Son, Gundo(VTC) (Raphinha)
    Kane(TC), DCL, Watkins

    0.7 itb

    Possible plan from GW27 to Blank GW29:

    3 City in GW 27 (Gamble on Bruno OUT, KDB IN with FT)
    11 players in GW 29 (DCL, KDB and Shaw OUT with FTs, Bamford/Antonio, Auba/Lingard and Targett/Creswell IN)

    1. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Good plan, I'm pondering the Bruno>KDB(c) move for DGW27 as well

    Really torn between Bruno or Kane for Captain. Currently with Bruno.

  17. Nespinha

    BB or TC this team?

    Pope,
    Mee, Cancelo, Stones, Rudiger

    Watkins, DCL

    subs: Areola, Bamford, Raphinha, Dallas

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd BB that

  18. Traction Engine Foot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking of going with Dias and Ederson on WC for security of starts. It feels sooo boring though...

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Until Ederson gets pens 🙂

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Haha. Shame he's already got his 1 assist for the season

  19. Tomlette Greggs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who'd you start of these 2 this week?

    A) Shaw
    B) Watkins

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Both, but probably Watkins- I always prefer the attacker...despite Grealish pot being out

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

  20. sentz05
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ederson Forster
    Bednerak Coufal Cancelo Dallas Mee
    Salah Bruno Rashford Gundogan Grealish
    Watkins Bamford Brewster (Fodder)

    2FTs 9DGW players (including Grealish) and 5 BGW players (including Grealish). Who would you prioritise transferring out?

    Id like to bring Targett in for Bednerek but not sure whether I should save the second free transfer and use it to build for 29.

  21. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone like H.Barnes as a captain option this GW?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No, good enough just to have in the team.

    2. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      There are too many better options on paper- both as a differential and for potential points upside

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Such as...

        1. xHaTr
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          For captaincy? Try any of the whole host of premium options with a double gameweek...

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Think there are better options

    4. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, ceiling too low

  22. Fergymac
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Help! Long term (and GW26) would you go for:

    a) Barnes and Vestergaard
    b) Raphina and Pereira (no Barnes)
    c) Raphina and Digne (no Barnes)

    1. JohnnyRev7
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Can you find Barnes and ???

      Think Raphina is a keeper this DGW26 and BGW29.

      Show the transfers out. Post your full squad.

      1. Fergymac
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks man. My squad is

        Martinez Sanchez
        Alonso Cancelo stones shaw Vester
        Bruno son salah gundogan Raph
        Bamford Ings Watkins

        Ings to DCL is essential and only want one hit after that

        1. JohnnyRev7
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          If you're set on Ings ---> DCL then I don't see you getting Barnes unless you're prepared to be more flexible in your hit approach. I'm assuming you're BBing?

          1. Fergymac
            • 4 Years

    Alisson news - Tragic. 🙁

    Does this grant him an extended period of leave?

      Think it is at the club's discretion but Brazil being on the red list of countries with an obligatory 10 day quarantine probably complicates things for them further.

      As you said tragic.

      Sometimes reality trumps fantasy.

      Give the man privacy.

    Cancelo to Konsa and Bamford to DCL for a hit? That would also give me space to get KDB for GW27...

    A- Lowton + Raphinha to Stones + Barnes
    B- Lowton + Neto to Stones + Barnes
    C- Dallas + Neto to Dias + Barnes

    all moves are for a hit

    Triple Spurs on FH.
    Kane(C) Son and Reguilon. Really wanted Grealish to be fit to replace Son.

    Would you do Salah and Antonio to Kane and Barnes (-4)?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years

      Yeah

    2. Pompel

      If captaining Kane yes

    Is it worth taking a -4 hit to do Dallas > Shaw?

    given that i might want Dallas back in a few wees (but don't have a lot of value tied up in him)

      actually typing that out i realised how much i don't want to do that move.
