SCOUT’S GAMEWEEK 6 PICKS

The form of Pablo Fornals has been encouraging for West Ham. Whilst teammate Said Benrahma has attracted the high ownership and the plaudits, Fornals matched him for goal attempts during the first three Gameweeks and has taken more touches in the penalty area, 19 to 12. He has blanked in the last two matches but his ten chances created is second only to Jarrod Bowen at the club. The Spaniard finds himself up against a Leeds defence yet to register clean sheet, having conceded the league’s second-highest number of shots.

The only side to allow more chances is Newcastle, hence making Watford’s Joshua King a logical choice to beat his 6.5 target. He played his first 90 minutes for the club during last week’s 3-1 win over Norwich, assisting twice.

Ivan Toney faces a Liverpool defence that has kept four clean sheets from five, although they only rank seventh for shots conceded in the box. Brentford look good and the supremely confident Toney is also on penalty-taking duty.

Nelson Semedo’s touch heatmap shows a full-back who is playing very high up the field, ranking sixth amongst defenders for both touches and passes received in the final third. The only defender that has underachieved more in comparison to his xGI (expected goal involvement) is Joao Cancelo. This goal will come eventually and it could happen at Southampton.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has a low points target of 6.5 considering he loves facing Tottenham Hotspur. During his time at Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, he has scored seven times in 11 matches against Spurs. He netted the only goal of the Gunners’ last home game and will back himself in a meeting that has averaged 3.33 goals per match from the past three seasons.

KARAM’S GAMEWEEK 6 PICKS

Son Heung-min is back from injury and north London derbies always bring a lot of action. It can go either way but I expect Son to do well. He has two goals and three assists in the last three starts against Arsenal.

We are still waiting for Raul Jimenez’s first goal of the season, and I have a feeling it will be in this match. Wolves’ assets are high up statistically and extremely underperforming. Maybe this is Raul’s game!

Brentford have looked solid defensively which made me question if Mohamed Salah can reach the Fantasy target but I expect Trent Alexander-Arnold to keep the clean sheet and hopefully an attacking return in what I think could be a tight game.

Allan Saint-Maximin is the driving force in the Newcastle team and they’ll be reliant on him to score goals in the absence of Callum Wilson.

Patrick Bamford is an injury risk for the weekend. However, if he starts, he has the potential to make light of a generous points target of 6.5.

HOW DOES FANTASY5 WORK?

Fantasy5 is easy to play as it follows the exact same scoring system as FPL, just without the bonus points.

It’s also the fastest media outlet for live Fantasy points, displaying all player points from the five games in question, as well as the live score and time.

For the more detailed lowdown, head here.

The competition is limited to one entry per person per round and selections must be submitted before kick-off of the first eligible match.

If two or more entrants correctly select five players who all score more than their points target, then the prize pot is split among all winners.

    How long till Bamford comes back any news ?

  2. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Are raphinha and Bamford both ruled out?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bamford yes, Bielsa not sure about Raphina.

      I may ship Bamford out and give Forres a stay of execution this week.

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

    Bench Bamford and Upgrade Sissoko to Gray (-4)?

  4. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    bellingham and Gallagher
    or
    Rice and Phillips
    as a double pivot for England?

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      The latter of course.

  5. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Yellow flagged players more concerning than red flagged players it seems.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      it's the doubt and potential regret with the yellows, carnage incoming

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Hits and WC's BOOM!!!

  6. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Raphinha -> Sarr looking good just in case?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same situation.
      But how will we know if Raphinha is out or not?
      Last week also there were rumours around him. Still I transferred him in - paid off, but he was subbed earlier which was not a good omen.
      So I think I'll ship him out if there's no better transfer elsewhere.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe I should get Benhrama?

        1. Mozumbus
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Tempting, thanks.

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No. Raphinha has good fixtures until GW15. Sarr has a decent 1/2 games and then Watford’s fixtures are poor. They won’t play Norwich every week.

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

    Antonio captain anyone? Will run riot Against this leeds team

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      See Hot Topic

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I'm going for it

  8. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Captain Ronaldo or Salah?

    Allan or Coady first on bench?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Rolando
      Allan

  9. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I'm stubbornly trying to roll FT even with Bamford out. I don't like any of his replacements and next week I can do a nice double switch of Jota + Bamford > Havertz + Jimenez for one week and then WC in 8.

    It's just much cleaner. Also if Bamford is fit next week, it's WAT. It just reminds me of the people who ditched Antonio last week and are mostly buying back this week.

    1. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same, except that my bench is absolute trash.

      Would be good to have an idea of how bad his injury js

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah it's tougher if you have no bench. I had Coufal, Sissoko, Ayling as my 3 benchies so Bamford being out means Coufal comes in and I hope for a WHU clean sheet (even though I own Raphinha).

    2. SHOWSTOPPERRR
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Antonio case is different, it's a suspension so we know that he ill play against Leeds. Bam unknown.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        True. But I don't like any of the Bamford direct replacements for 2 weeks. Better to have 2 FTs and I can shift next week upwards by downgrading Jota.

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I hear you on this too.

          None of the strikers in that price range appeals to me based on their current form or upcoming fixtures.

    3. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd bring transfer in Jimenez.
      Next week you might have different issues to resolve.

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I hear you.

      But if you don't fancy Jiminez this week then what makes you fancy him next week instead?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        NEW is a better one week punt than sou. If Jimenez scores this week it will be a popular move I think.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Also, it gives Bamford a chance to recover for WAT. Because if fit, I'm defo keeping Bamford in 8.

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            *in GW7 that is.

          2. MagicMessi
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Will he be fit vs watford tho?

            1. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              If he's not I ditch him next week. This week I can cover him I think. Just about. If TAA is ruled out I might have to shift to Jimenez or ASM this week.

    5. Flaming Flamingo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Why not Bamford to Jimenez this week?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        See above.

        I want to give Bamford a chance to recover for WAT. If he is out, I have more flexibility to move him up or down by selling Jota/another injured player.

        I can do something like Bamford + Jota > Aubameyang + Gallagher. Just gives me choices.

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yes I agree with you and well reasoned. Still have Antonio (and Raphinha) so will be rolling.

          I am more concerned with Jota and Greenwood longer term in my team.

          This is all swaying me to WC8 than continuing to do it later though which was my original plan though.

          You must have a nice squad.

        2. Flaming Flamingo
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          You are definitely right about flexibility. I just feel you don't have much to lose if you are wildcarding in GW8 regardless?

          It sort of depends on who would be coming in for you this week as well, if you have a strong bench you probably can afford to be flexible and wait.

  10. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you bring raphinha in this week?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Is this a serious question?

      1. Lord of Ings
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I have Torres buddy
        Biggest pain ever.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Raphina is a doubt so I would rather have Torres tbf.

          1. cravencottage
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            agree with this

    2. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No - there's so much uncertainty around him.
      Although I'm holding on him, but wouldn't transfer him in.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No, look for alternatives if you want to replace Torres

  11. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Guys so bam is out right. I have Antonio already. Should I save and hope injury not long term and start either one of coady white allan and bench bam?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same issue for a lot of us.

      This would be an easy fix if Wilson was fit or Ings had good fixtures. But neither is the case, so the main viable non premium alternatives are:
      Jiminez - hasn't scored yet and doesn't look likely to at the moment either

      Toney - tough fixtures this week and beyond

      Wood - Burnley are cack

      ASM - Yeah, but it's Newcastle, see Burnley above.

      Maupay - probably the best of an extremely bad bunch.

      None of that lot inspires a massive amount of confidence, really.

  12. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Frustrating Bamford owner. DCL > Bamford last week. So annoying!!!

    Bamford > Dennis?

    Save FT and play Livramento?

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      save and play Livra

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      save FT

    3. SHOWSTOPPERRR
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Save ft and play livra

    4. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Exactly same situation Dcl to Bamford .. im thinking Bamford to Antonio simple 7.9 to 7.9 Is Bamford definetely out ???

      1. The Mentaculus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, confirmed out by Bielsa just now. Same pain, dazz. I'll prob just bench Bam having used my FT. But what about Armstrong as replacement?

        1. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah an option. Need to decide if going with Lukaku and Ronaldo or just the one.

      2. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes bamford 100% out. If i didnt own Antonio i’d move to him

        1. MagicMessi
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks lads !!

  13. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    If Raphinha doesn't play, Toney will come off from the bench.
    Looking to roll the FT, yay or nay?
    If nay, who to bring in for Toney? 2.3 itb

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Easy roll.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would probably stick to the plan and roll FT

    3. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Roll

    4. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yay

  14. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Looking for suggestions. Plan was to save FT

    1FT 0.4ITB
    Bachmann
    TAA Shaw Livramento
    Salah Benrahma Jota Raphinha
    Ronaldo Antonio Bamford*
    (Foster Veltman Ayling Brownhill)

    1. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Save unless Raphinha is confirmed out

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah i'd hold. If Raphinha is out too though, might need a rethink.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers. I'll need to keep a look out for any leaks. Raphinha to Sarr the likely move if out.

  15. abcdef3
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is it worth taking a hit to go Smith-Rowe > Gallagher now before he goes up in price, which would stop me making other moves next week?

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      yes- ESR isnt nailed and Gallagher is

      1. abcdef3
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        That's what I was thinking, he'll make up the -4 over time

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      probably yes if it has a knock-on-effect

      1. abcdef3
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Gallagher going up in price would mean I can't swap Sarr + Dennis > Gallagher + Adam Armstrong for when Watford's fixtures take a nosedive and Palace's and Southampton's are decent.

  16. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Some advice is appreciated:
    Sa ( Steele)
    TAA, Christiansen, Dier, White, Livra
    Salah, Jota, Torres, Sarr ( Allan)
    Lukaku, Antonio, Jiminez

    A) Torres, Dier > Gallagher, Cancelo
    B) Jiminez , Dier, > ASM, Cancelo
    C) Dier> Alonso ( .1 short of Cancelo)
    D) Hold

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      All feel a week early

      C or D

  17. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    First on my bench for Raph:

    a) Sissoko NEW(H)
    b) White TOT(H)

    Both look very likely for 2 pointers... but which one would you have first on the bench? Gotta be Sissoko right? Only reason I'm considering White is because Tottenham have been dog meat going forward and Arsenal have looked somewhat compact recently.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sissoko just in case

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B, has a 31% CS chance per bookies odds (see Hot Topic).

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      White

    4. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      White

    5. Tinfoil Deathstar
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I rarely have a 4.5 midfield option as anything more than 3rd sub. Fixture dependent, but playing defenders more likely to come in with a CS than your £4.5m option is of getting an attacking return.

  18. Pedersen
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Planning WC next gw. So could use Torres replacement until then. Who is best option? Already have Benhrama, Raphinha and Greenwood.

    A) Sarr
    B) Gray
    C) Gallagher
    D) someone else?

    1. Pedersen
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Alternative would be bench Torres and play Regulion

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      if you're defo WCing next week I'd get an Everton mid - if WC the week after that then Sarr

  19. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best replacement for Bamford?

    Dennis perhaps?

    1. Pedersen
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Antonio if you dont have

    2. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Dennis is not a replacement and rather an enabler: frees up funds.
      Jimenez is a replacement.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Armstrong?

    4. Tinfoil Deathstar
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Antonio is the obvious answer, but not really liking any of the other options atm so I think I'll just keep him in the hope he's back for Watford (I also own Antonio and Ronaldo). If we get any more news about it being a long-term injury then I'll obviously reassess but think that's probably unlikely given he was clearly being monitored ahead of potentially featuring this week.

  20. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    a) Armstrong (WOL)
    b) ASM (wat)

      Any chance of Reece James playing this week?

        2 years, 6 months ago

        A chance yes, but not a big one

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I think he starts - did well vs City in the UCL final

    4. Stupendous

      Semedo and Raph
      To
      Alonso and Gallagher?

      Best one week punt forward under 7.9m? (and not Antonio)

      1. Hy liverpool

        Iheanacho.

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Armstrong or Maximin

      3. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        ASM

    6. I Member

      Thoughts on ASM as Bamford replacement? Already have Antonio. Can't say I really fancy Jimenez.

      R. James & Shaw to Reguilon & Alonso

      2 free transfers, worth doing this? Worried about James playing, and Man U fixtures are about to swing..

      1. abcdef3

        2 years, 6 months ago

        Alonso is better to have than James on the basis that James has been brought on quite a few times under Tuchel, which is even more annoying than just not playing.

      Bam to Antononio now easy?

    9. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Better option here-

      A Raph to Sarr (-4)
      B Play Raph, Gilmour first sub

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

      No transfers left.

      Bamford out
      Raphinha and TAA flagged.

      Bench of Livramento, White, Gilmour.

      Worth a -4 for Antonio?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Bamford > Antonio is a super easy move imo.

      2. Tinfoil Deathstar
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes for Antonio. Although I don't think White and Livra are bad bench options this week (I'll likely be playing both now with Bamford out).
