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.

      Cheers all! 🙂
      If they do have 2 doubles, that's certainly the way I'd go.

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

    Help needed with BB; I currently have a non playing keeper, Watkins, Lowton and Burn (bri). I'm thinking maybe not worth bench boosting?,

    1. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Might be worthwhile if you transfer in a playing keeper, maybe Areola?

  4. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Lowton and Ings to Digne and Kane for -4, if Everton DGW28?

    1. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good

    2. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks a good move, don’t think we’ll know about Everton dgw28 before the deadine though

  6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    Do we think Struijk keeps his place till 29 at least?

    1. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think he'll be dropped when Phillips is back

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Would that be before 29?

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

    (sorry for repost, lost in previous article)

    Currently rolling with Gundo + Sterling + Stones, current team is :

    Martinez
    Stones AWB Lowton
    Gündo Sterling Bruno Salah Raphina
    DCL Bamford

    bench: Areola Dallas Coufal Deco-Reid

    Considering I don't think Sterling will play both and hence plan to part with him for Kane, does it make sense to go with two City only - Stones + Gundo, and rather go with Digne or Pereira instead of Dias as 3rd City this GW, since Dias also might get rotated. Then get any 3rd City player for DGW27 - could give opportunity to jump on e.g. KDB. And e.g. Digne mmight have a DGW28. So basically between:

    A) Dias
    B) Digne/Perereira , get any 3rd City player for DGW27 (which could ofc be Dias)

    1. saurabh.06
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I am in the same dilemma. But I think sterling form is good for last few gws. He was subbed off around 70 mins last night. I think he might play both the games.

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

        Yeah, if he plays both it could come back to bite me. But if keeping him I'd have to lose Salah or go without Kane

  8. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Villa's DGW is quite good attacking wise. But with Grealish out the creativity levels has seen a drop. Still its hard to see Villa not scoring in both of the games.

    Take a punt on Bertrand Traore? Im on a FH. He seems to be on corners and Freekicks now.

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

      Think Traore is a cool call

      From memory Leeds are one of those sides that leak loads from deadballs.

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

      Surely, if bases covered elsewhere. Depends who makes way for him

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He's the best attacking pick if you don't already have Watkins

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

    Am I silly selling Bednerak with a double next week? It’s City so I’m thinking of his double as a single. He’ll probably end up getting minus points.

    1. Ian Davis
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’ve got the same issue with McCarthy, hoping they at least get a clean sheet vs Sheff Utd so might get about 5-6 points

  10. C_G
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    0 FTs, 0.5 ITB, gtg you think?

    Martinez

    Cancelo Stones Dallas

    Son Salah Gundo Bruno Raph

    Kane(c) Watkins

    Forster Antonio Lowtom Mitchell

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

      Yup. V similar line up. I'm debating -4s but none make sense. The Leeds boys are tough to drop.

      Martinez
      Cancelo Stones Dallas
      Son Salah Bruno Gundogan Raphinha
      Kane Bamford

      Johnstone Deco-Reid Mitchell Coufal 0FT 1.8ITB

    What’s the news on Grealish. Should I sell? I have no value tied up in him.

    1. Werner Bremen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sell for the time being

    2. saurabh.06
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wait till the pressers.

  12. Diro
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    1) Keep my current team and do 1 or 2 transfers (-4) :
    Martinez (McCarthy)
    Konsa, Stones, Cancelo, (Justin, Dallas)
    Sterling, Fernandes, Son, Raphinha (Grealish)
    DCL, Bamford, Cavani

    2) First WC draft :
    Martinez, (Areola)
    Konsa, Stones, Cancelo, Targett (Dallas)
    Gundo, Barnes, Fernandes, Son (Raphinha)
    Kane, Vardy (Bamford)

    3) Second WC draft :
    Martinez (Stier)
    Konsa, Stones, Targett (Struijk, Mitchell)
    Salah, Fernandes, Gundo, Barnes, Son
    DCL, Vardy (Bamford)

    If I WC, the question is more : Do I sacrifice my team to have the magic 5 in the middle and especially Salah or not ? ^^

  13. Mufc202020

    Tempted by a rogue captain this week who would you pick out of the below:

    A) Digne
    B) Barnes

    1. Werner Bremen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. marcos11

        3 years, 1 month ago

        A

    4. Werner Bremen
      • 5 Years

      BB activated:

      Martinez, Areola
      Cancelo, Stones, Pereira, Dallas, Rudiger
      Salah, Gundogan, Bruno, Son, Raphinha
      Kane, Bamford, Watkins

      0,0 ITB. What would you change? Would love to get DCL in, but don't know how...

      I was thinking doing Dallas to Targett atleast

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Watkins to DCL
        & downgrade son?

    5. hogree
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      White or Burn on a wildcard?

      1. Werner Bremen
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        White

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

        White if you don't need the 0.2

    6. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A- Lowton + Raphinha to Stones + Barnes (-8)
      B- Lowton + Neto to Stones + Barnes (-8)
      C- Dallas + Neto to Dias + Barnes (-8)

      -8 might look a lot, but its part of BB

      1. Werner Bremen
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        B from those. See above please

    7. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Please give thoughts here...

      Rather than DCL(TC), I think I'll just chuck the BB on Sanchez, White (WBA A) Dallas (AVL H) JWP (EVE A). Thoughts?

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years

        Why can I not see Camzy's reply here? Can see all other comments on posts though...

    8. sentz05

      I want to transfer Coufal out. His fixtures are awful. Surely, a BGW game against Arsenal which will probably be a 2 pointer isn’t worth keeping him for. A lot could happen until then anyway with bans and injuries.

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Go on then

    9. Ninjaa

      Pope (McCarthy)
      Stones Lowton Targett (Coufal Dallas)
      Sterling Gundogan Bruno Salah (Saka)
      DCL Bamford Antonio

      Thoughts on Saka and McCarthy to Barnes and 4m Gk for a 4 pointer? It would allow me to bench Antonio this week and play him next week v Leeds

    10. Scholes Out For Summer

      Benfica's lineup with Otamendi Taraabt Vertonghen... streets will never forget Otamendi double digit hauls

    11. The Alli Way
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      best way to get Kane (TC) in? 3.4 ITB, 1FT

      Pope (McCarthy)
      Cancelo Dias Rudiger (Coufal (Strujik))
      Salah Bruno Son Gundo Raph
      DCL Watkins (Bamford)

      1. saurabh.06
        • 9 Years

        Pope to Areola and bamford to kane?

        1. The Alli Way
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          .2 short 🙁

        2. The Alli Way
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          was thinking Pope > Forster and just roll with SOT goalies for the rest of the season

      Lookman over Raphinha on a WC?

    14. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Best move?

      a) Rashford to Sterling
      b) Rashford Brewster to Jorginho Kane -4

      TC on DCL at the moment but would consider Kane if I go for that option

      Jorginho I expect to play both, seems favoured by Tuchel and on pens

    15. Shawcus
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Can you guys give me your opinion on my free hit team please. Don’t want to get involved with Pep roulette so only picked Ederson and Gundo.
      Ederson
      Shaw. Soyuncu. Konsa
      Barnes. Salah. Bruno. Gundo
      Vardy. Kane (c) DCL

      Want as many nailed players as possible in my free hit team. Opinions would be much appreciated.

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Solid. See mine below yours.
        Same frontline... I have compromised in the midfield and gone heavy in defence.

      2. RealSocialDads
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Same comment as below, think I would be having triple city if I was on a FH

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

          I could do Soy to stones but stones may only play one game. I’ve got stones in my normal squad but on FH I want as many nailed players as possible. I’m struggling to think of another totally nailed city player.

    16. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      RMT FH Team .

      Ederson
      Digne Pereira Reguilon Stones
      Salah Son Traore/Pereira
      Kane Vardy DCL

      Mitchell ESR

      Thoughts??

      1. Werner Bremen
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        UTD DEF instead of Reguilon, and Gundogan in the MID

      2. Shawcus
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I like Digne, Reg and Pereira, I’d just be slightly worried that Stones only plays the first game. I do think city will get two clean sheets and like you, got Ederson in to cover this. Loads will have Martinez in goal so I’ve covered that with konsa. You could potentially change stones to konsa and upgrade your third midfielder?

        1. TFP
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed, Stones gives you probably 3 games over the next 2 gameweeks, so he's a good player to have on your roster given the combination of his price & City's quality.

          But on a FH, nah, go with someone who's guaranteed 180 minutes this week. Maybe Targett?

          1. Weeb Kakashi
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Thoughts on Semedo instead of Targett? Dont fancy Villa defensively.

        2. Weeb Kakashi
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Stones was rested yesterday... So i am taking the punt on him to start both. But could go wrong.
          I can get Gundo for Traore... But i am worried Gundo starts only one of those!!
          On the other hand Traore is now Villa's main man. On freekicks and Corners too... I cant see Villa not scoring in both the games.

          Thoughts??

      3. RealSocialDads
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not having triple city on a FH isn't something I'd do, Gundo could really hurt you

    17. andres
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would you WC? if not, take hits in order to BB?
      Have 3 Leeds on bench.

      Pope (McCarthy)
      Cancelo Stones Digne Mee (dallas)
      Bruno Salah Gundo Barnes (Raphinia)
      DCL Watkins (bamford)
      0FT, 3.9 itb

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

        I would. I have a similar team and strongly considering -12 to upgrade my defense and be done worrying about bb for the rest of the season. All it takes is 2 additional cs: 2*(4+2) so well worth the gamble. McCarthy, Mee, Dallas > Areola, Reguilon, Ricardo P.

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

          I’d consider hits, in case that wasn’t clear

    18. Werner Bremen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Martinez, Areola
      Cancelo, Stones, Pereira, Dallas, Rudiger
      Salah, Gundogan, Bruno, Son, Raphinha
      Kane, Bamford, Watkins

      What ist the best way of geting DCL in my BB team? (0,0 ITB)

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

        Bamford, Son > DCL and Barnes

    19. SuperG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Cavani and Digne

      or

      Vardy and El Mahamady

      to hold over the next few game weeks but especially this DGW

      1. RealSocialDads
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cavani injured isn't he?

    20. sklarface
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      On WC and torn between the below (both options leave 7 for gw29 before transfers):

      (A)
      Martinez / Forster
      Dunk/ Dallas / Aina*/ Cancelo / Digne
      Barnes / Raphinha / Bruno / KDB* / Gundo
      Maja* / DCL / Kane

      Leaves 0 in the bank

      (B)
      Martinez / Forster
      Dunk / Dallas / Stones* / Cancelo / Digne
      Barnes / Raphinha / Bruno / Bale* / Gundo
      Bamford* / DCL / Kane

      Leaves 0.7 in the bank

      Any thoughts on the two? Bale a potentially controversial pick but I am thinking he delivers even without playing full minutes
