Last chance to get Scout Premium Membership for discounted price

Due to popular demand and taking inspiration from soft furniture retailer sales across the land, we are pleased to say that Fantasy Football Scout Premium Memberships for the 2021/22 season are still available at the pre-season cost of £20 – but only for a little while longer.

We have given our users until the start of the September international break to sort out their subscriptions for the new campaign but this really is last-chance saloon territory, as yearly Premium Memberships will rise to the regular season price on Thursday.

So, if you haven’t already, make sure to sign up before that point in order to secure the best-value rate.

The yearly fee works out at an equivalent of less than £1.67 a month as, instead of expiring on June 1 as was previously the case, these rolling annual subscriptions now cover a full 12-month period.

That’s better value than our rivals are currently offering for the equivalent all-access Premium Membership package.

SIGN UP FOR THE NEW SEASON HERE


We’re continuing to reinvest resources into the site, building a team of talented contributors for the new season (see below) and working on an exciting new design for the Premium Members Area, complete with new tools and features.

We’re also dishing out £6k-worth of prizes in the 2021/22 campaign – more details of that available here.



HOW CAN SCOUT MEMBERSHIP HELP MY FPL TEAM?

You’ll be joining legions of other Fantasy managers by signing up, including former FPL winners Adam Levy, Simon March and Tom Fenley.

Thousands upon thousands of Fantasy bosses take advantage of our subscriptions and sign up every year, using the stats and tools to aid their Gameweek planning.

MEMBERS-ONLY ARTICLES AND ADVICE

Ex-FPL winner Simon March: How to avoid getting carried away with your GW1 picks

You’ll get exclusive content, advice and team reveals from some of the best Fantasy managers in the business, including Hall of Fame number one Fábio Borges, ex-champion Simon March, five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman, three-time top 200 finisher Lateriser, six-time top 5k finisher Zophar, 2020/21 FanTeam winner Josh Wooldridge and four-time Sky top 50 finisher Niall Murphy – amongst others.

If that wasn’t enough, Fantasy Football Scout’s founding father, Mark Sutherns, is returning to the site to supply weekly video appearances throughout the season. Again, only Premium Members will get unrestricted access to Mark’s content.

We have regular Members-only articles, too, such as Captain Sensible, which provides in-depth analysis on the top contenders for the armband every Gameweek.

RATE MY TEAM AND PROJECTIONS

Our Projections and Rate My Team tools are both live for Gameweek 4 and beyond, so you can head over there now to start importing your teams and see how many points our algorithm thinks you’ll score and which players you should bench.

SEASON TICKER

Our Season Ticker can help you sort by opponent difficulty to spot those upcoming fixture swings, while you can also find out which teams’ matches rotate well.

Wolves, for example, have leapt to the top of our Season Ticker after a tricky start – but there are some tough games ahead for Aston Villa.

Disagree with the Fantasy Football Scout difficulty ratings? Add you own to customise your experience.

TRANSFER PLANNER

Not being able to see your team in future Gameweeks is a common criticism of FPL but with our Transfer Planner, which comes free with a Premium Membership, you can do just that.

Plan your transfers and starting XIs for Gameweek 4 and beyond by moving players in and out of your side.

HEAD-TO-HEAD COMPARISONS

Stuck between two potential transfer targets for the upcoming Gameweek? Compare both teams and players head to head, with over 100 key statistics and graphics to study side by side.

If you’re using our new beta site, you can draw statistical comparisons in more a more visually appealing manner, too.

PLAYER AND TEAM STATS

From goal threat to expected data, there are hundreds upon hundreds of player and team statistics available, which can help guide your Fantasy transfer decisions.

Our ‘per 90′ tickbox allows you to sort players’ stats per 90 minutes, too, to level the playing field for those assets with differing amounts of game-time.

MATCH ANALYSIS

Want to know where it went right and wrong in previous Gameweeks?

We’ve got analysis of every Premier League match (going back to 2011/12!), together with charts which plot average positions and a collection of heatmaps for touches, shots and chances created, among other statistics.

CUSTOM STATS TABLES

Premium Members can also create custom tables based on the data available and share them with other subscribers to help with FPL team planning.

Perhaps the most famous of these is Joe’s Goals Imminent table, which looks to predict which underperforming assets will find the net next.

GAMEWEEK DASHBOARD

Pre-season price offer extended for FFScout Premium Membership 11

Enter your FPL ID for personalised visuals and check your live rank as the Gameweek progresses.

FLAT-TRACK BULLY TOOL

Our Flat-Track Bully tool helps subscribers to identify Fantasy assets with good records against specific clubs.

This will help you pinpoint players who perhaps perform better against weaker opposition for those close captaincy calls – and even those who thrive against the top teams, like Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m) famously did in 2018/19.

TESTIMONIES

2018/19 Fantasy Premier League champion Adam Levy was a paid-up Premium Member of our site and he discussed what tools of ours he finds most useful in an interview after his triumph.

In previous seasons we’ve helped FPL winners Tom Fenley and Simon March, while in 2015/16 we were thrilled to see Ed Masters – the winner of that year’s Members’ League – finish third in the overall rankings.

In 2017/18, Paul Gee went one better. He won our Members’ League and finished second, losing out to champion Yusuf Sheikh by just eight points.


Be sure to check out all the other benefits of signing up as a Premium Member here. A full FAQ on our Premium Members’ Area is also available here.

If you’ve any feedback or suggestions of content that you’d like to see added to the Premium Members’ Area, then please feel free to drop us a line at support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.

      Solid team mate, do you trust Raya with those fixtures?

      1. Ronaldo 7
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Wouldn’t have minded a 5m keeper but was struggling…. Risky rotation with keepers but can work (sometimes!) 🙂

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Dennis to DCL n downgrade mf?

    3. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Very risky, four of your midfield a rotation risk, and I dont like two rotating keepers.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Four of his midfield lol WTF

        1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Do you not think that Jota, Torres, and Gray are at risk tp rotation and with Leeds signing Daniel James will mess with Raphina. Just to be clear I am NOT saying this will happen but with a team with no bench that is a risk ??

          1. TheTinman
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Raphinha is not a rotation risk

          2. WVA
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Torres of course but not Jota Gray or Raph, Firmino injured, Gray scoring in every game and Raph first name on team sheet whether central or wide.

          3. Ronaldo 7
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Coady has great fixtures coming up and will cover any rotation risk which imo is minimal (at the moment)

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Salah and Raphinha are pretty "nailed" 😉

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          As are Gray and Jota for the next few weeks at least

      3. Salan
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        You mean Salah?

    4. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I would have a bench fodder midfielder for 4.5m.

      I would like to see a spurs defender in there too.

      All personal preferences but if you like it thats the most important thing.

      All solid pick regardless

      1. Ronaldo 7
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks dude , got reguillon in defence for Spurs. Bench fodder is a shout to maybe upgrade keeper and still something im considering - maybe gray to a 4.5

    5. Pique and De Bruyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good to me but maybe Sa and a 4m keeper instead of rotating and Gray to 4.5 then upgrade Coady, maybe to Chelsea def.

  2. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Meslier 4m
    Trent Reguilon Dias Shaw (Duffy)
    Raphinha Salah (c) Benrahma (Gilmour, Biss)
    Calvert Ronaldo Antonio

    How does this look?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Regulion or Dias to Arsenal mids?

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        No transfers, wouldn’t touch Arsenal with a barge pole

        1. Gunneryank
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Exactly this! I think it's nuts to consider any Gunners atm. Later in the season? Perhaps. They have to prove they're not a pub team first.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Save, g2g!

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Or don't take more(?) hits.

  3. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Do we think CR starts or comes on as a sub (since it is more "honorary" or something)?

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Think he starts, but nobody can tell you more than a guess

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Could depend on whether he comes out of the 3 upcoming Portugal games unscathed.

    3. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He starts

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      My bet is off the bench with big hype and crowd cheering. I just can't see it not happening.

    5. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      My guess is he starts but am feeling more and more comfortable captaining Lukaku vs a Martinez and potentially Mings-less Villa

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Salah myself

      2. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Didn't Konsa also get injured the other game or is he okay?

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

          He's yellow flagged as well so could well miss out too

        2. Chilli Heatwave
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          He did but no news yet, think Mings will be fine as he has still linked up with England (but will be asssessed). Imo he wouldn’t do that if he wasn’t going to be fit for next week

          1. TheTinman
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah agree, no way he goes with England if there are any doubts.

            Just seen a comment from Smith that Konsa is walking well so they think he will be fine for the next match but it is not confirmed.

            1. Chilli Heatwave
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Even if he doesn’t, I think Tuanzebe will be ok. Think with us we have to have Mings not because he is the best just because he leads the line and whoever plays next to him plays better

    6. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Can’t see him not starting - when he picks the lineup is he really going to leave himself off it?!

  4. Fish up a tree
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Was thinking off putting in Jiminez but I believe he is playing fir Mexico on the Thurs & Wolves play on the Sat so don’t see that happening.

    Anyone know who is likely to miss next weeks games?

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

      Buendia and Martinez are def out GW4 for Villa

    2. Buca
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think FPL has already put red flags on those who are missing games due to quarantine rules.

      I know what you're thinking with Jimenez but it's a big risk. Sadly there is a chance he'll just never be the same again (hopefully not though!)

    3. Jono_90
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Although he's been announced in the squad, from what I understand, he isn't leaving the country to play for Mexico. I'm also looking to transfer him in for this coming GW but waiting for definite confirmation. Possibility he might feature for Mexico in October though.

    4. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I have been thinking of this man too of late.

      Is he the same after his gead injury. Whats his fitness like. Are those two issues just in my head?

      I know nothing more of the msn

  5. Buca
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    A) Trent, Raphinha, Bissouma, Jesus

    B) Robertson, Torres, Raphinha, Maupay

    C) Trent, Traore, Torres, Maupay

    Historically Robbo and Trent seem fairly even, but Trent does have the ability to get 15/20 pts in a GW occasionally - what do we reckon?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It's a situation to monitor, but Trent is younger and his position and attacking play is changing a little. TAA has therefore bigger upside imo. If Salah sometimes drifts very wide, is Trent going closer to the box to score? After last match I can see it happening.

      1. Buca
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah good point. Watching TAA this season, I think the improvement of his left foot alone is probably worth the extra 0.5

        I'm leaning towards option C with an eye on Dan James to replace Traore I think

        Cheers man!

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think with the solid performances of Tsimikas we may see Robbo rested on the odd occasion as the schedule builds up. Fair enough it will likely be 1 in 5 matches or so during the busy period, but if you're looking at a season keeper I do think it is a factor.

      1. Buca
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        That's true. I think if wanted the 3 premium fwd/mids it would be worth considering but I've just got the 2 so Trent is probs integral

  6. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Missed a reply to Eat My Goal and StormBringer22!

    Yeah, Antonio definitely a minus point here. But, he's the spot that gave way for Lukaku. Surely gotta prefer Lukaku at home to Martinez and Mings-less Villa?

    Turns into DCL for NOR next so would still prefer that over Antonio at United. Think it pays off overall, Hammers fixtures start to peter out after a while too.

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      DCL does not have Norwich next....and I've decided on Bamford instead anyway 😆 for Newcastle

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It’s the sacrifice made for the three premium players

      Imo it’s not worth it - I’d rather have 2 and more flexibility over upper mid range players around them

      For instance - Chelsea back line tick with Christensen but .6 more brings attacking threat through Reece

      Antonio is currently exceeding points returns that of lukaku who has two tough fixtures in the next 3 games - I’d put money on him continuing that

      The saved cash also vastly improves the rest of the midfield and also the keeper

  7. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Please rmwct

    Sanchez
    TAA, Coady, White
    Salah, Raphina, Benrahma, Traore,
    Lukaku, Ronaldo, Antonio

    Steele, Livramento Williams, Brownhill

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Worrying defence but could work, may have shift funds out of attack further down the line..

    2. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Personally think having Lukaku and Ron and Salah gives to much an imbalance, would downgrade Ron/Lukaku to DCL and get Jota and Greenwood in

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I've seen a decent with them. Maybe it demands 4-3-3?

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Which other 2 in addition to TAA which you go for?

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            I have atm Coufal and Reg in my hybrid, but you are going to want a Che def soon. Laporte gets you more pts than Traore.

          2. Arvin-ation
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Christensen and Shaw if can afford. Shaw into James gW7

        2. Chilli Heatwave
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Would agree with this

    3. Buca
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It's an interesting tactic, I personally wouldn't feel comfortable owning that many players under 4.5
      And imagine the headaches for captaincy!

      It's a bit too much of a gamble for me, but if you're a brave boy/girl then go for it!

    4. liner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Great team as it stands. But soon u will be wanting someone from chelsea defence and mid and u will have to manage hard. For now its a good looking team

    5. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Best team I have seen with 3 big hitters plus TAA

      Wolves & Arsenal have good fixtures & Traore could be a good differential to get on early

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        It's a 'no' from me, but to be fair it does have the virtue of nailed-on starters (maybe Ben aside).

      2. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks

    6. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'd be tempted to downgrade Traore or Benrahma to a 5.5 like Gray and maybe use the money in defence.

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Could downgrade Ben to Gray and upgrade Duffy to Coufal.

  8. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    First WC Draft, anyone got any suggestions/thoughts on this? 0.5m in the bank for a rainy day. Jota > Greenwood also a potential atm..

    Sanchez
    Trent - Alonso - Reguilon
    Salah - Raphina - Torres - Gray - Jota
    Antonio - Ronaldo

    Bench: Steele - Cucho - Livramento - Ayling

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No Lukaku?

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Like it apart from Alonso

      1. Buca
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah I'd swap Alonso for Christensen then either keep more itb or improve that bench to cover Torres rotation risk when the champs league starts

    3. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      @ Buca

      I'd say Rudiger over Christensen. His place is more assured.

      1. Buca
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        My Chelsea fan mates seem to think Christensen is pretty nailed now. Either just signed or just about to sign a massive new contract and Tommy T rates him.

        I just need the extra 0.5 elsewhere tbh

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      For me there are a couple of traps in that team - Alonso, Gray, Cucho.

      Alonso is going to be rotated. That's not good enough for a 5.6m defender who you need to play. Would just play safe and go Rudiger.

      Gray reminds me of Anthony Knockaert from a few years ago. 0.2 xG from 3 games against SOU lee bha, scores 2 improbable goals, and now he's an essential pick. He even has a history of inconsistency.

      And then Cucho doesn't start so it's 0.5m wasted that could upgrade a mid or defender.

  9. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Wildcarders looking to go filthy cheap at the back - the Omo lad looks like being our first 3.9 of the season.

  10. EWH2020
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    How does this look?

    Sanchez (Steele)
    TAA, Shaw, Dias (Livramento, Williams)
    Salah, Greenwood, Jota, Raphinha, Sarr
    Ronaldo, Antonio (Scarlett)

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I like it, but then it’s very similar to mine!

      Think I'd pick Gray over Sarr. Great otherwise.

  11. V-2 Schneiderlin
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    those planning a -4 to bring in Ronaldo are you doing it now or waiting to see if he comes through the internationals OK? (worried about price increases)

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

      His price is locked til GW4 deadline

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

        But you mean other players don't you that you would sell.

        I would wait til IB break is over. If you have to take a price drop then so be it but so many games still to be played other routes to Ronaldo may emerge.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'm mulling over Az's opinion that if you don't have him for the NEW (H) game, there's no great case for getting him early doors.

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

        Yeah, I'm on this right now. The Lukaku/Salah captaincy rotation is pretty sweet for quite a while.

      2. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        But his fixtures are great until the Anfield trip, no? He's got 5 matches to feast a bit

    3. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Waiting. Planning Ings and Bruno out, so both can drop .1 before losing any value in selling. Just need to monitor Jota price and Firminho injury news. No need to rush it unless forced into it by prices rises / falls, a lot can happen over the International break.

  12. Tosa86

    active WC, first draft:

    Lloris 4.0
    Jansson Alonso Williams Varane Virgil
    Torres Allan Salah Benrhama gray
    Antonio Ronaldo DCL

    1) mount or torres?
    2) lloris+alonso+virgil or mendy+rudiger+taa?

    any feedback or suggestion?

    1. CONNERS
      • 5 Years

    b) Sanchez and Dias

    1. Miguel Sanchez

      A

    2. CONNERS

      Of the two toss of a coin says a)

      Hard to argue againts Diaz and Sa fixtures sweet as..

      How about a bit of both..

      Sa Reguilon

  14. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Can FFS dedicate a community article to RMWCT with Ronaldo. All those questions on that page

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      So then we’ll still get all the RMT but also a series of “there’s a dedicated page for these”

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I think it may be best to periodically check in here for the next teo weeks or so whilst the dust is settling.

        Exciting all the same

      2. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I will happily take on that duty

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      We could talk about it until the cows come home.

      No game for two weeks. No one knows the outcomes either.

      Too much talk about it already imo

  15. tbos83
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    One potentially sensible strategy would be to bring Ronnie in ahead of the inevitable price rises but don't cap him

    1. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Don't think everyone who's buying Ronaldo now intent to Captain him.

      Its mostly to ensure to pick Ronaldo at 12.5 or wait for few weeks to get him either for 13 or 12.2.

  16. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Not a fan of taking hits but thinking of taking a -8 this week for Bruno, Barnes and Perica to Ronaldo, Greenwood and Gilmour.
    Like the rest of my team so I don't want to wildcard but is a -8 for these moves too much?

    1. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Do you have any other moves you'd like to make? If so, I'd just use WC and get your team in order.

      A -8 is going to mean a big rank drop at this stage of the season.

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        This is the danger

      2. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        No not really, like the rest of the team so really want to hold my WC.
        Other options are just Barnes to Greenwood and go without Ronaldo or do Perica/Bruno to Ronaldo/4.5 bench fodder for -4 but then I still have Barnes...

        1. Team Bobcat
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I think just Barnes to Greenwood and dont rule out Jota either are two decent shouts

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think the fact you have Bruno already it may be worth giving him another game at least as there is no guarantee Ronaldo starts the next day.

      If you are still adament to make those changes you must ask yourself does any other of your team need changing as the WC becomes a decent option if others too need shipping

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Not doing it if there are signs that Ronaldo will not start but if he does he will be the prime captain option this GW.
        Other option is keeping Barnes for another week...

      3 assuming DCL not injured.

    RM WC Draft - 3-4-3 formation

    Sanchez
    Coleman - Sanchez - Coady

    Ronaldo - Lukaku - Antonio

    0 itb & Bench: Ward, Gray, White, Livramento.

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Too top heavy for me, but it could work just fine.

  19. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Ronaldo's ownership already 7.7%.

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

      Will be near 40% by GW start is my guess

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Don't mind a minor injury so that he misses the Newcastle game 🙂

    3. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      That's probably just the wildcarders too. He has 3 matches to get through in the International break, then I guess it shoots up if he's still intact.

  20. JAYPEE
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I should use my wildcard on this team?

    Sanchez Foster
    TAA Shaw Coufal Amartey Tsimikas
    Salah Fernandes Greenwood Benrahma Raphinha
    Antonio Ings Dennis

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2 years, 7 months ago

      No looks good imo

    2. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Are you kidding?

  21. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    FPL is amazing, finally we get a week where a 4.0 gk (Steer) is a guaranteed start but then it's away, vs Chelsea and with a potentially weakened defense (at least yellow flags for now). Crazy.

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

    Thoughts on WC?

    Sanchez
    TAA Rudiger Dier
    Salah Torres Raphina Benrahma
    Ronaldo DCL Antonio

    4.0 Sissoko Semedo Livramento

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

      Balanced - very nice but play Semedo over Dier

    2. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Very solid.

    3. dshv
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Good team mate

    4. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Why does everyone want Dier now?! I feel like I've taken crazy pills.

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Cheap, pretty nailed, Nuno plays pretty defensive, spurs decent at the back (even though they give up too many shots).

    5. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Solid as heck.

  23. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw White
    Barnes Salah Bruno Benrahma Greenwood
    Ings Antonio
    (Steele; Ayling Tsimikas Perica)

    Just scouting for opinion. Is this a 'sort with transfers' or WC situation? Have 2FT

    At the moment if I just use FT my choices are...
    A. Barnes+Ings to DCL+Traore/Raphi
    B. Bruno+Ings to Torres+Ronaldo (Barnes out for Raphinha GW5)
    C. Bruno, Ings and Tsimikas to Jota, Ronaldo, Livramento (-4)
    D. As mentioned, enough fires for WC

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Like C if Firmino is out for a couple of weeks otherwise I would just do B

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks man. I actually hope that's the scenario myself.

      2. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Same.

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Don't think you need WC. C looks good then sort Barnes next week

    3. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      C

  24. daviyb
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Dele Alli worth a punt?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Think that window has passed imo

  25. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Marcal or Coady?

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'm into Marcal myself. Wolves look decent and and he's basically a nailed wingback (i think).

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Somebody here suggested Ait-Nouri is due to start. Coady is more secure. If you can afford him, Semedo is the best Wolves defender, imo.

        1. Gunneryank
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Was Nouri just injured? I can't remember. So you believe Semedo has the right wingback spot as long as he wants it?

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            That's how I see it, yeh. Semedo doesn't have any real competition, just 4m hoever.

  26. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Everybody’s dilemma..

    1.Keep bruno(c) this gw4 and bring ronaldo after.

    2. Bruno ings to torres ronaldo (-4)

    Actually if bruno do something which is very possible if we exclude penalties then this minus 4 is too mutch because ronaldo have to score minimum 2 goals..

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      That's not really it. Ronaldo doesn't have to pay off the hit right away. It's the restructuring to a premium forward that's important.

  27. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Is Benrahma's playing time in danger?

    1. amitmishr
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Don't think so. Bowen will likely miss out. Also, they are flying right now, so vlasic may be eased into the role, rather than thrown in straight away

      Though with europe, we might see some reduced minutes.

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I’m keeping but it’s a simple switch to raphinha

    3. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think so with Europe and signings

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, i think so. I've been fortunate to bag his hauls from the start, but I'm looking for a window to ship him for Gray.

  28. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Thinking of -8 to get this, just the Jota/Torres spot unsure of?

    Sanchez
    Trent, Shaw, Dier
    Torres/Jota, Salah, Benny, Greenwood
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Bamford

    Steele, Gilmour, Amartey, Williams.

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      What are the transfers?

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Bruno & Ings > Torres/Jota & Ronaldo

        1. Gazza2000
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Thinking of similar moves for -8 ( see above ) but need some more tinkering though.

    2. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Don’t know your old team, but looks good

    3. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I also plan the same, take -8 and save WC

      Bruno, Ings, Tsimi to CR, Jota/Torres, 4.5

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I already removed Tsimikas for Williams

      2. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        WC very powerful chip that could be handy later on

  29. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Thought on my team? WC, pondered Ronaldo but think will stick with rom for now.

    Sanchez Steele

    Semedo Dier Taa (Livramento Duffy)

    Salah Torres Jota Greenwood (Allan)

    Lukaku Antonio DCL

  30. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Which 2 out of these 3?

    (A) Jota
    (B) Torres
    (C) Greenwood

    Currently on Jota & Torres.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I have C & thinking A could be more nailed with Bobby out?

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Definitely if Bobby misses time. Like 100%.

    2. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I may be doing the same. Experimenting with possible WC shells and trying out both, they fit real nice like.
