Scout’s Gameweek 38 picks for FanTeam’s €30k Season Finale Frenzy

One Gameweek.

One FPL-style game with easy-to-follow rules.

One ‘Free Hit’-style selection with a deadline that allows you to see the teamsheets.

And one final chance in 2020/21 for Fantasy managers to put their skills and know-how to good use and win up to €10,000 (£9,000 in UK money) with FanTeam.

And you can get involved in the Gameweek 38 extravaganza for just €5/£4.50, with prizes awarded all the way down to 3,449th place.

Given that there are only 1,700 entrants at the time of writing, the odds of prospering look favourable.

ENTER YOUR TEAM AHEAD OF THE SUNDAY DEADLINE

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.

A maximum of three players are allowed from one club and captains score double points, as usual.

Here are some other minor differences to FPL in the otherwise easy-to-play game:

  • 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.
  • A ‘Stacking Penalty’ is given if you have two or more defensive players from the same club and they keep a clean sheet. One point is deducted for each additional asset that you select from the same side.

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 38 Season Final Frenzy, with its familiar scoring system.

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

SCOUT PICKS

Doubling or tripling up on defenders from the same club is a common tactic in Daily Fantasy Sports, such is the difficulty in predicting one or two clean sheets let alone four of five.

But we’ve made life hard for ourselves by mixing it up, with the cut-price appeal of Luke Ayling (he’s £1.4m cheaper than Stuart Dallas) too good to overlook.

The set-piece threat of Alex Telles could also be a boon against a Wolves side who love to concede from corners and free-kicks, while Martin Dubravka will be up against a Fulham attack that has scored just two goals in their last eight home games.

Double-ups on Leeds and Liverpool are fairly self-explanatory, while Joe Willock‘s record of six goals in as many matches and appealing fixtures for Michail Antonio and Chris Wood sees that trio make the cut.

To afford the big guns like Mohamed Salah, Raphinha and Trent Alexander-Arnold, we’ll need a bargain or two.

Enter Jack Grealish, whose ‘unfavourable’ fixture against Chelsea sees him available at a bargain-bin £6.1m. He looked lively in midweek and Villa were way more potent in attack thanks to his presence, so there could be some late-season joy to be had as he pushes for Euro 2020 contention.

The final word goes to Harry Kane, who is cheaper than 15 other FanTeam forwards this week. His low price is because he faces Leicester City away but given his individual record against the Foxes and his push for a Golden Boot (not to mention Leicester’s ropey home record), who would put a final-day haul past him?

  3. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Rival will TC Salah with 12pt lead.
    Best move?

    A. Kane+Jota >> Mane(C)+Bamford
    B. Greenwood+Jota >> Raph(C)+Harrison
    C. DCL+Jota >> Bamford(C)+Raph
    D. B+C combined

    Mendy
    TAA. Holding. Rudiger
    Salah. Son. Greenwood. Jota. ASM
    Kane. Antonio
    (Forster. DCL. Digne. Ward)

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      C

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A but C close behind. Good luck!

  4. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    If they were both starting, who would be the best transfer in:

    1. Raphinha
    2. Torres

    ??

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      1

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      2 if nailed on starting. But I think that's not guaranteed enough so would prefer 1 in reality

    3. ZAMUNDA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      1

  5. Gringo Kid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bruno to

    A) Son
    B) City mid
    C) Anyone up to 11.1

    Thanks

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B but don't ask me which one

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Harrison/Raphinha?

    3. ZAMUNDA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Mount - Pépé - Raphinha or even Westwood

  6. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Last check. As Forster might not start and Meslier won't, would you:

    A. Meslier & DCL to Alisson and Wood (play Bruno)
    B. Bruno & DCL to Mane and Wood (play Forster)

    It's b, right?

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. chelseabrad
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Meslier & Bruno > Alisson & Salah/Mane

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Good suggestion but have Salah and Trent so couldn't get Mane and Alisson and couldn't see anyone as a better choice than Mane hence not an option.

        Just pulled trigger on B

  7. Gunners in Haaland
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Pick one:

    A) Robbo
    B) Mane
    C) Firmino

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

  8. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on Bruno to Sterling?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Sterling is a player who is so so so out of form

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Out of form, may not start. It's punty...

  9. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    DCL will get a 10+ pointer won’t he?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Let's hope so

    2. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      that's what am counting on

    3. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Ofc he will an Bamford who I'm getting in for him will get 1p.

    4. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’m hoping for that!

    5. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah no chance, he's awful

  10. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Final question::

    Play Rudiger or Digne?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Rudiger for me

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Rudiger for me (and what I'm doing in same situation)

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Cheers all and GL!

    4. ZAMUNDA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Rudiger

  11. Red dev
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bit confused on best option here. Any opinions appreciated!
    Have bruno who probabaly wont play. 1 FT. Which option is best?
    A. Bruno to Harrison/Pepe. I have raph and dallas. Play DCL
    B. DCL to Antonio/Bamford and then I would play Digne

    1. chelseabrad
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Bruno to Salah/Mane?

      1. Red dev
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks! Got salah cant afford mane

    2. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A because I think Everton are more likely to score than keep a clean sheet

      1. Red dev
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeh I was thinking the same just worried about not owning bamford for this game

  12. Salarrivederci
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Gtg? No hits taken and 0.0 ITB.

    Areola
    TAA - Dallas - Cresswell
    Salah - Mané - Son - Foden
    Richarlison - Iheanacho - Watkins

    (Martínez, Gündogan, Reguilón, Targett)

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’d start Gundogan over Watkins (if you think Gundo starts)

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I don't 😀

    2. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Gtg

  13. Perthite
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Any chance that we will have any news before lockout?

    Or just do the trades now?

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Go with the gut

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I mean, why would this week be any different? Yes there is a chance, but how reliable will it be?

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Unexpected player most likely to explode?

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Hopefully DCL

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Brewster

      But more seriously - No one has even mentioned Vardy

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I can see Vardy slicing spurs open. For me Mane and Wood should top Vardy and a cheaper mid (have Harrison, Lingard can't get Raph) for my moves

    3. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      The match could be stopped if that happened. Avoid such a player.

    4. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      TAA

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        That’s wouldn’t be unexpected! Everyone owns him

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      traore

    6. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Digne

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        That would be a mixed blessing sitting second on my bench (after Lindelol for a possible start due to cb issues)

        1. Free Hat
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Ive started him, but other option is Shaw so
          Im hoping for a Dallas special from Digne.

  15. Van der Faart

      Mahrez if to play.

  22. MysticMac17
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Start Greenwood or Soucek?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Soucek

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I had forgotten about Soucek. Play Greenwood.

    3. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Greenwood easily

  23. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Torres a worthy last GW punt? (would rather bench Iheanacho)

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’d start Iheanacho, our (spurs) defence is a shambles

  24. chelseabrad
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    11 pts ahead of my ML rival but he has bench boost

    Alisson
    TAA AWB Coufal
    Salah Son Lingard Raph
    Kane Wood Antonio

    (Forster Greenwood Holding Coleman)

    He has 2 villa def, Dallas, Gundogan, Bruno over Greenwood, Bale over Son, Bamford, DCL & Nacho all of which I don't have...

    Already made my transfer, anything worth taking a hit for? Bench & order right?

    1. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years

      Bruno —> mane sufficient

  28. Hansel

    A) Bamford + ESR first sub
    B) Raphinha + DCL first sub

    Have Greenwood so sub not unimportant.

    1. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years

      A

    2. Croaker

  29. RamaJama

    Csn we risk that Jota starts ahead of Mane?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Almost impossible that happens

    2. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I don't think they can play someone out for the season. Better with 10 men.

    3. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Doubt it. Jota most likely subbed in as an impact player, if he’s even in the squad.
