The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice for Blank Gameweek 29

Picture that GIF of a confused John Travolta standing in a room.

Where did all the fixtures go?

Then imagine Joe popping his head round the door and exclaiming, “We’re all going to captain Harry Kane, bye!” before exiting swiftly, getting on his chopper and riding off into the sunset. 

That’s Blank Gameweek 29 in a surreal nutshell.

Just four fixtures, eight teams to choose from and one player to captain.

You have until the 18:30 GMT deadline on Friday to make sure the armband is on Harry Kane (£11.5m), decide on any potential transfers and perhaps the odd ‘minus two’ hit.

Gameweek 28 Scout Picks built on Spurs, Everton and Villa assets

However, a few managers will be playing their Free Hit this Gameweek, and if you are one of them, you’re in luck – because there has been an array of ‘perfect Free Hit squad’ articles on the site this week.

But, as Seb pointed out, those articles can be a benefit to all of us:

Even if you have resolved to save the Free Hit, however, being aware of the players that those using the chip this week may pick in their ‘ideal team’ can be useful information in guiding your own selection decisions.

When discussing chip strategy, David revealed that under a quarter of managers will be deploying their one-week Wildcard. So the majority will want to take into account the fixtures beyond this weekend.

Thankfully, Neale prepared a piece on just that topic.

Frisking the fixtures for the teams playing in Blank Gameweek 29 highlights Arsenal’s appealing schedule, particularly from Gameweek 31.

Among that group of eight, the Gunners lead the way for expected goals over the last six matches. 

Jamie noted their steady improvement this season when breaking down the best midfielders and forwards to buy for Gameweek 29. Arsenal’s recent upturn included victory in last weekend’s north London derby.

In midfield, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.5m) would be the first name on Lateriser’s teamsheet for his mock Free Hit draft. The three-time top 200 manager cited his 11 shots in the box and four big chances over the last six matches as evidence for his inclusion, with penalty duties adding another string to his bow.

At the back, Kieran Tierney (£5.2m) has impressed the upside-chasing maverick:

I like Tierney as a pick because he has a chance for returns at both ends of the pitch. Arsenal have a fairly resolute defence and Tierney is very well known for his attacking ability. In the last six matches, only Luke Shaw and Trent Alexander-Arnold have created more chances than Tierney among defenders and he showcased a very good understanding with Emile Smith Rowe on Arsenal’s left side in the north London derby. It is worth noting that in the same period, he has amassed eight shots as well.

Can Martin Ødegaard live up to his potential and become a top FPL asset? 2

Martin Ødegaard’s (£6.0m) recent displays have caught the eye of Tom Freeman, who made the Norwegian his headline differential pick. Tom highlighted his ability to find space on the edge of the box and a share of corner-taking duties among the reasons for his selection.

And Bukayo Saka (£5.3m) was talked up by Gianni and Andy on their stream last night. Despite limping off with hamstring tightness at the weekend, Mikel Arteta was positive about his chances of recovering, as Neale reported in yesterday’s team news update.

Meanwhile, it’s been a torrid week for their local rivals. Tottenham Hotspur are now out of the Europa League so rescheduling their game against Southampton becomes a tad easier for the Premier League.

As Andy and Gianni mentioned yesterday evening, Kane played 120 minutes in Croatia while Gareth Bale (£9.6m) came on for what was supposed to be the last half-hour but ended up being 60 minutes after the tie went into extra-time.

Enough to make them change their mind on captaincy or transfers? Probably not.

Gianni is planning to bring in Bale for the next two matches before switching to Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) in Gameweek 31, when Liverpool enjoy their own nice run of games. In fact, the soon-to-be-dethroned champions are top of the Season Ticker for that final sequence.

That upcoming run has persuaded Andy to keep faith with the Egyptian for now.

In fact, the high-flying Pro Pundit is contemplating adding Diogo Jota (£6.6m) alongside him.

But Spurs assets could be kept beyond the next two matches, despite their Gameweek 33 blank because of reaching the League Cup final. Neale explained:

Spurs assets are a god-send for those using their Free Hit chip in Gameweek 33 but even for the rest of us, fixtures against less-than-watertight defences in Newcastle, Sheffield United, Leeds United and potentially Saints stand out between now and Gameweek 35 and are worth navigating around that blank.

And while Brighton featured in the ‘Bad’ section for upcoming fixtures, they nonetheless offer some appealing budget options – especially for those who have already used, or won’t be playing, their Free Hit in Gameweek 33:

The likes of Joel Veltman and Robert Sanchez are at least benchable at their prices, and can be wheeled out for, at the very least, the Gameweek 33 clash with Championship-bound Sheffield United.

– Neale

Veltman has been lauded across the board ahead of the reduced-fixture Gameweek, his cheap price and attacking threat making him something of a no-brainer. But Seb cautioned that he could be handed more defensive responsibilities, with a half-time reshuffle against Southampton last time out seeing Veltman shifted into a back three:

Veltman may be moved to centre-back, in which case I will settle for a clean sheet, but if he retains the right-back/wing-back role his total of six shots in the box in the last four, of which two were big chances, looks appealing.

– Seb

Armband Alternative

David was his usual loquacious self on the Scoutcast and captaincy video this week, singing the praises of Jesse Lingard (£6.1m) to all and sundry:

I’m gonna start with Jesse Lingard because he has, just out of nowhere, become the kind of guy that is troubling enough of the stats tables … he was my favorite alternative captain when we did the Captaincy Video earlier on today.

I’ve always been a big fan of players who can get lots of shots on target – and that’s something that he’s clearly very good at because in the last four matches no Premier League player has even the same number of shots on target as Jesse Lingard … and the chances that he’s getting are are decent, too.

So if you sort all players in the Premier League by those who are actually playing this week, Jesse Lingard is joint second for big chances over the last four with a total of three; he’s had nine shots in the box, which is again joint best of all players who are playing in Gameweek 29. So the form that he’s carrying into this fixture is very strong.

– David

Lingard was David’s second pick behind Harry Kane in Captain Sensible, with a perceived weakness on Arsenal’s right flank bolstering his armband credentials.

The Manchester United loanee takes his place in the Scout Picks, which is really just the best Free Hit team every Gameweek, alongside Bale, Aubameyang and Raphinha (£5.6m) in midfield.

Leeds fan Seb reasoned that the Brazilian is due an attacking return:

Leeds’ attacking threat has deteriorated recently and whilst Raphinha has not escaped from this, he is still the main threat for United, perhaps becoming an even greater focus of the team’s ball progression and chance creation in this slight downturn. The Brazilian has an xGI of 2.01 over the last four, which he has underperformed by 1.01.

Not only was Harry Kane no. 1 in Captain Sensible but he was the unanimous choice for armband among the four Scout Squad pundits of David, Neale, Tom and Andy.

Will we all be dancing like John Travolta come Sunday night?

Community Competitions and Head-to-Head Fixtures

The draw for the first round of the 2019/20 FFS Cup

RedLightning has rounded up the Community mini-leagues and competitions.

And Neale published the latest cup results yesterday: 128 managers remain in the two tournaments, with the finals set to take place in Gameweek 35.

There’s a true ‘David and Goliath’ clash in round four as the lowest-ranked manager in the FFS Open Cup takes on the highest-ranked.

At 3,125,510th overall, Jonathan Ojao will have his work cut out when he faces 254th-placed The Fighting Cock for a spot in round five.

The Head-to-Head fixtures for Gameweek 29 can be found below. 

The scores and tables are now updating every night on the Head-to-Head Leagues main page so you can keep track of the action as the Gameweek unfolds. 

May your arrows be green!

    With no WC left, which one to lose for Lingard?

    a) Gundo
    b) Salah

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

        • Has Moderation Rights

        The only caveat is if you have some great plan for the cash if you sold Salah I guess

      3 years, 9 days ago

      Could be yeah. I'd probably take a hit though. Sell a City asset for a player with a fixture

    2. Guru Mediation
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      You've covered the major bases there

  8. Mike82
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 days ago

    Sanchez
    Tosin, Coufal, Reguilon
    Soucek, Son, Raphina
    Antonio, Kane (C), Watkins

    So I've used my FT ready.
    Should I take a -4 hit, if so who for?
    Will Son somehow play?

    1. Mike82
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Areola, Stones, Dias, Gundagon my bench

  9. RWB_1991
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 9 days ago

    Do we think Aubameyang starts this gw?

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      I think so

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 days ago

        Why do you think that?

        1. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 days ago

          Basically what Ruth says

      2. RWB_1991
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 days ago

        I think he will do too but I’m not 100% sure. Tempted to go Odegard instead.

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Saka injured, Willian injured, Pepé was awful yesterday...

      Looks very likely that PEA starts even if Lacazette does as well.

      1. RWB_1991
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 days ago

        Yeh that is true. Plus he’s the captain and Arteta probably will be wary of leaving him out again as could cause more of a backlash

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 days ago

          I'd be captaining him against most opponents but West Ham are a stubborn nut to crack.

          1. RWB_1991
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 9 days ago

            Yeh they are. I think I’m going Kane captain instead

          2. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 9 days ago

            Especially if they go 5 atb again

          3. Geoff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 days ago

            I'm still considering it this week, though I likely won't

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Should do, Arteta doesn’t want to keep answering these same questions . Got into dangerous positions midweek and looked very rusty, I’d be ramping up his game time before the important games coming up

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      I think you are looking at 90% yes. Injuries. London derby. Playing a European spot rival.

    6. Jam0sh

      Probably yes

  10. dsefton

    Play:
    A) martinez (TOT)
    B) Areola (LEE)

    1. Mike82
      • 6 Years

      B

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Tough one. I'm comfortable as an Emi owner starting him but if I had Areola I'd be tempted to start him.

  12. PascalCygan

  14. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 days ago

    There are no midfield options this week other than Lingard and Raphinha

    Aubameyang - good chance he is benched with Lacazette rested in Europe

    Bale - spurs rubbish without Son and he hasn’t played more than 69 mins in a league game since GW9

    Trossard / Lookman - hasn’t got an attacking return in months

    I’d love a 1 week Salah -> Someone punt but there are no options!!!

    1. Winners900
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      ødegård

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Agreed 100%. Not worth it imo. Even if they score something they won't haul.

    3. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      I did Salah -> Bale for a hit, even though common reason says its unlikely to pay off

    4. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      I expect Auba to play

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 days ago

        Please convince me

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 days ago

          Needs game time, Arteta will be trying to keep the narrative from turning, and he’s still their best player

        2. Lord.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 days ago

          I really expect Auba to play.

  15. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 days ago

    Folks, is it worth -4 to swap Son to Bale ?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      I'm not going to, for what it's worth

    2. Meme2011
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      or Son to anyone for -4 - this is the big question
      i can do Son to Auba for -4 but just not sure if its worth it, especially with spurs playing newcastle next

    3. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Maybe Auba

    4. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Not for me

  16. StellaMan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 days ago

    FH good to go?

    Martinez / Sanchez
    Dallas, Regolin, Dunk (Tierney/Ada)
    bale, Grealish, Raph, Lingard (Trossard)
    Lac, Kane, Antonio

    1. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      looks great - like the grealish punt - frst sub Trossard?

  17. JoeSoap
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 days ago

    Cancelo/Salah>Dallas/Bale for a hit?
    (Any better options in your opinion? - planning WC for GW31)

    Martinez
    Coufal, Aina, Dunk
    Lingard, Raphina
    Bamford, Kane
    Steer, DCL, Cancelo, Dias, Fernandes, Salah, Gundogan,

  24. pjomara

    Lots going with 2 Leeds attackers.
    Just remember:

    Leeds goals for in the last 4 games: 0 0 0 0
    Fulham goals against in the last 4 games: 3 0 0 0

    And those 3 were scored by Man City.
