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.

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?

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

      Looks spot on and strong. Good luck!

  3. PascalCygan

    Start one:
    A) Digne
    B) Coady

    I’m on Digne at the moment, in the hope of an attacking return against a City team who’ve been leaky recently.

    Mendy
    TAA Digne Holding
    Salah Bruno (will be Mane) Foden Raphinha Lingard
    Kane DCL

    Forster Watkins Coady Masuaku

    Thanks!

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

      I think Coady might be a decent pick against a dodgy Man U lineup. Who knows though, Digne could be assisting DCL’s hatty

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

        That would put me in dreamland!

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

      Digne I think

      1. PascalCygan

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years

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

        Rockstar 100% won’t have any team news pre deadline

        He only gets it 70mins before kick off

      2. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. Shark Team

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

    These are the best options for my two free trades - holding a 2 point lead in my ML.

    Watkins->Bamford
    Ward-Prowse->Raphinha

    Martínez (Forster)
    TAA, Dallas, Shaw

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

      Holding probably more nailed today right?

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

      I'd go Holding of that 3

  10. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Greenwood and Auba + 4 points
    or Raphinha and Mane

  11. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Chasing down 6 points- both of us will captain Salah and have TAA but he also has Firmino- which third Liverpool player should I get

    A Son to Mané
    B Digne to Robertson

    1. Vlekz
        2 years, 10 months ago

        A looks like the popular move this week, but I like B better

      • Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        B I think. I'm expecting goals galore spurs leicester

      • DF
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I'd captain trent in your shoes and do b

    2. Vlekz
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Play
        A) Greenwood (even if he plays, everyone around him is a fringe player, so not sure he will get an attacking return)

        B) castagne (lei need to win, but kane chasing golden boot)

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

          I would still start Greenwood.

          1. Vlekz
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Cheers. Thanjs

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

            Bruno dosent need to be on the pitch to get assist.

        3. Tross007
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Llorente > Dallas
          Jota > Willock
          Watkins > Bamford
          Bruno > Mane
          -8 pts

          Yes or no?

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

            Personally I wouldn't take a 8pt hit

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

            1. Shark Team
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              If I go B then probably im gonna cap Mane over Salah cause im chasing in my ML so it makes more sense.. thanks

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          A) Vice captain Kane or Mane?
          B) Play Pickford or Forster?

          1. Vlekz
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Dont c vc from same team. So if salah c, go for kane.
              Play Forster, if he doesn't play gets auto subbed

              1. Mind över Mata
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years

            Pick one...

            A) Play DCL
            B) Sell for Firmino

              If it’s for free, B or C, maybe C just

            2. StellaMan
              • 10 Years

              I'd be tempted for a roll of the dice on Wood if isn't for a hit

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years

            If you heard Bruno was starting (no suggestion either way), would you still bring Mane in for him?

            1. RoryzonderR
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Definitely 'yes', Mane above Bruno

              • 6 Years

              B if leading, A chasing.

              But B overall.

            Start DCL (3-4-3) or JWP (3-5-2)?
            OR transfer JWP to Raphinha OR DCL to Bamford for a -4 hit?

            Context: Comfortably ahead by over 30 pts in my ML

            What are my fellow Mahrez owners doing this week?

            My hunch is that he won't feature. Either way, I currently have him first on bench as per the below - would you change anything?

            Areola
            TAA - Dallas - Rudiger
            Salah - Son - Lingard - Greenwood
            Kane - Nacho - Bamford

            Martinez / Mahrez - Digne - Veltman*
