SCOUT’S GAMEWEEK 7 PICKS

Whilst the 10.5 target of Romelu Lukaku requires more than two attacking returns and rotation risks abound elsewhere at Chelsea, at least Antonio Rudiger should (we repeat, should) be a more secure starter who will expect a clean sheet at a bare minimum against a Southampton side that is goalless in their last three matches.

Despite invoking a lack of trust among the Fantasy community during his two seasons as Brighton, could the form of Neal Maupay finally stick? He has netted four times so far this season, while he has a promising record of two goals from two league starts against Arsenal.

Ollie Watkins is yet to score or assist this season but has played all 270 minutes since Dean Smith switched to a wing-back system that enables both he and Danny Ings to start up front. He has far fewer minutes than Ings, yet outnumbers him ten shots to six, eight of which were on target. Facing a Tottenham Hotspur side in disarray will not intimidate him.

Vitaly Janelt bagged a goal during last Saturday’s 3-3 thriller against Liverpool and is a bit of a gamble to out-perform his 5.5 target at West Ham. He’s remarkably had more ‘big chances’ than Ivan Toney this season and is joint-top among Bees players for chances created, too.

Manchester City breezed to a clean sheet against the European champions last weekend, racking up a fifth successive league shut-out in the process. So what price on another win-to-nil at Anfield? All of City’s defenders will require at least an attacking return to beat their points targets, and Aymeric Laporte – who has racked up as many shots in the box as Jack Grealish and Ferran Torres this season – is as good a bet as any to achieve that.

EL STATTO’S GAMEWEEK 7 PICKS

Away to Chelsea, the Saints are defensively stronger and limited Man City to just one shot on target during their 0-0 stalemate. So can they repeat this again? His target score is the lowest from the defensive picks but, with Stephens injured, Jan Bednarek will start.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a much improved performance against Spurs and, with the pace and creativity in Arsenal’s three supporting midfielders, could it be that they have turned the corner?

Still settling in at Aston Villa, Danny Ings is their main man now that Jack Grealish has left. Spurs were awful in the north London derby whereas Ings is a forward who doesn’t need lots of chances to score and I could see him adding to the pressure on Nuno Espirito Santo this weekend.

After an indifferent start, I think Ivan Toney showed what he is all about against Liverpool. Brentford and West Ham are two teams who like to play and attack, so I’m hopeful there will be plenty of chances.

Gabriel Jesus should play in the big game against Liverpool. Both will go for the win rather than settle for a draw, with Man City wanting to bounce back after a midweek defeat. If Jesus starts with Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish supporting, I wouldn’t rule out a goal for the Brazilian.

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.

      1. jay01
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Stuck on Jota to Gallagher yes or no

        Would enable Cancelo after IB

        1. caldracula
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Great move considering the upgrade it allows.

    2. tim
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Got him last week, Torres had to go and Lukaku had to come

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

      Prefer ESR for more points, lower price, better team, better fixtures

  2. jay01
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is City defence essential after IB?

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

      not essential but good pick

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cancelo probably is then anything more is a welcome bonus probably

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure about essential, but I'm going Cancelo and Dias

    4. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      At least one yeah.

  3. HEY JUDE
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Def rate 5.5m

    a) Tierney 4.9
    b) Laporte 5.5
    c) Marcal 4.9
    d) White 4.5

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Laporte

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years

      B

  4. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any advice on WC appreciated guys

    Going with a few doubles with Saints and Gunners as sweet rotation

    E.g. White and Livra plus keepers

    Ramsdale McCarthy
    White Rudiger Azpil Livra Veltman
    Salah Saka Elyou Raphina Benrahma
    Antonio Lukaku Vardy

    1. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Azpi>Cancelo
      Is Elyounoussi worth it? Think I prefer Gallagher, but I haven't watched any Saints

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

        Cheers thanks - fancy saints at the moment after a tough start the fixtures turning nicely

        1. Pegboy
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Fair enough. Not sure I'd want a triple up though.

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

      I like it. One of the few WC teams to stick with Benrahma.

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

    Will probably wc next week...with that in mind what combination would you do here with 2ft or even for -4?

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA* Shaw* Coufal White Livra
    Salah Jota Mahrez Raph* Bisso*
    CR7 Antonio Scarlett

    2ft, 0itb

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      on the basis you will WC next week I would do something like

      Shaw & Biss to Lowton/ Burnley & Smith Rowe

      1. Harry the Hack
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        The Pukki Party will be putting these 1 week Burnleyers in a world of pain

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

    Jota -> grealish this week or after IB?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe this week if without WC

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

        Yeah no WC unfortunately

  7. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    GW8WC team because bored. What we think?

    Martínez // Steer
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger // Livramento Williams
    Salah Grealish Raphinha Saka // Luiz
    Lukaku Antonio Toney

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

      Looks good, just not sure on the Keepers

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers yeah they could be downgraded or maybe even if I find 0.5 I might go ederson. I just like having a no.1 with their no.2 and really not convinced Ramsdale is keeping his place

        1. Pegboy
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Just get Foster to back up Ramsdale?

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            If he’s confirmed as Watford’s no.1 then I could be comfy with that but not sure he is since Bachmann’s been injured

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

      like it - probably pretty template, other than Grealish - although if he does something this weekend he'll be popular on WCs

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Given the way I’ve started this year trying to avoid template I think I’ll stick to it like glue from now on

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Will Martinez play GW8? I would go for McCarthy Foster.

  8. BeWater
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Alonso has been named in the Spain squad.

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

      Nooooooo please

      1. BeWater
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        First call up since 2018.

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

      Oof, if Chilwell appears this weekend that could really do it for him

  9. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    1. Dias Cancelo Rudiger
    2. Dias Rudiger Alonso
    3. Cancelo Rudiger Alonso

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

      1

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

        1 is safest but the only concern is this pool match

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

      1.

      I'd rather double on City defense than Chelsea. They are better and I want a Chelsea midfield slot just in case.

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      1

  10. fc_skrald
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Salah has been my captain for five gameweeks. Think he will there again this weekend 🙂

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Stick to it

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

      Highest scoring player in the game and in fabulous form, nice call

  11. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I already own Christensen and before weekend will get either

    A. Alonso
    B. Rudiger
    C. Cancelo

    In for Williams, who would you go with? , if rudiger I have money for shaw to cancelo the week after, if Alonso I will need to sell jota or Ronaldo as part of a hit to get cancelo or Dias the week after

    1. jay01
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Deffo rudi

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

      I'd go Rudiger then for sure. Cancelo is a priority for next week.

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

    Absolute curveball, Alonso selected for Spain squad

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

      I don't think that changes much at all for this week at least.

      1. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Agree. Longer term it does cloud things a bit.

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

      Chilwell will be no.1 again GW8 if not this GW.

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

      Unlikely to start ahead of Alba or Gaya anytime soon though, right? Or is one of them injured?

  13. ebb2sparky
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you consider a hit the week before playing the wildcard? Assuming TAA is out then I have 4 defenders available but that includes Alonso and Tsimikas. Maybe better to just run the risk of only having 2 defenders?

    1. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure why Alonso would be dropped before IB.

      1. ebb2sparky
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        True but I bought him on the basis I’d always need a back up defender just in case. The TAA injury hasn’t helped although I suppose he was unlikely to score much this weekend anyway

        1. Pegboy
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          If you're playing WC next week anyway, I think just take the risk Alonso starts.

  14. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    TAA to drop back to 7.5 in the next couple of weeks?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sure

  15. MysticMac17
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Looking at moving to this team with my next 3 moves (Jota to Mbuemo this week, Duffy to Cancelo in GW8 and Matip to Walker/Laporte in GW9). It would leave me with this team. Thoughts?

    Sanchez
    Rudiger Christensen Cancelo Walker
    Salah Sarr Gray
    Ronaldo Lukaku Antonio

    Subs: Mbuemo, Livramento, Sissoko

  16. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Apologies as no doubt been asked a lot, but have we had any news/comments/leaks regarding Shaw at all?

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

      Solskjaer said the other day he should be fine for the weekend. Although personally I find it hard hard trust him much about injuries

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

        Hmm cheers. Youd think he’d have been on the bench last night in that case

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I think someone posted here yesterday that shaw wasn't in training this week, and he wasn't on the bench at all either

          Ole has been known to lie about absolutely everything

      3. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Hadn't trained yet.. I would say very doubtful.

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

          Ah, if he hasn’t trained hes fecked then

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

        he said yesterday that he hasn't trained yet

    2. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bruno & Ronaldo both sharing pens according to Bruno’s post match interview yesterday.

      Bruno: “I was on penalties tonight but we didn’t get one.The manager will decide before the game who takes it”.

      So is Ronaldo worth 12.5/12.7m??

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Not without penalties no way

          1. Walter White (WW)
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            He is partially on pens tho

        • Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Lukaku and ronaldo are not vardy.. So no

          1. Walter White (WW)
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            🙂

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

          Not with those fixtures regardless of pens.

          1. Walter White (WW)
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            It’s Ronaldo but yeah, those fixtures aren’t appealing tbh

        • Bubz
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Don’t understand that. Does Ole just flip a coin before a every match then?

          1. Walter White (WW)
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            😆

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

          Hmmm this might change my thinking on the next few weeks then, maybe I will get rid

          1. Pegboy
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            He's almost certainly gone for me after this week.

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

              The worry I have is getting him back in, if he hits 12.9/13m it could take a lot of work to get him back in before that amazing run they have. Opportunity cost is the issue, could miss out on a lot of points in the meantime but get to keep the balance of my team as it is, if I do it I could reap the rewards for a good number of weeks with that FWD spot and the money to upgrade elsewhere but might take 3-4 moves to get him back in leaving the rest of my team a mess

              1. Harry the Hack
                • 14 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                he'll drop before he rises. you are more likely to make TV on the move if you get him when his price curve starts to turn upwards

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

                  Hmmm maybe you're right, perhaps I'm putting too much stock in what I expect casuals to do. Thanks

                  1. Walter White (WW)
                    • 2 Years
                    2 years, 6 months ago

                    Haha 😆

      2. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Is Azpilicueta less attacking these days ?

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

          Same as he ever was. Can whip in an OK cross from deep and gets in the box from corners looking for scraps.

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Oh ok thanks good to hear - just looking at stats and not as many goals/assists last year compared to previous

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

          He's often playing RCB instead of RB/RWB so mostly depends on that. When playing wide he still gets forward a fair bit and puts in crosses as well as getting into the box to get on the end of some too

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Ok cheers sounds like good pick GW7 if trade in shaw or TAA

        3. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          If James is out most likely to play RWB

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

        I don't really know what to say to accompany this but felt I had a duty to post it: https://mobile.twitter.com/FutbolFax/status/1443329936559800323

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Hahaha

      4. RUUD!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Best defender for this week? Think I'm set on one of the Chelsea lads but would Cresswell be a better option this week?

        1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          no would go chelsea

          Could well be Mee or Tarkowski

          If non Chelsea and If for only GW7 Burnley or wolves defence? But if longer term maybe arsenal ?

        Smith rowe or demerai gray?

        Sanchez Foster
        *TAA Rudiger White Marcal Livramento
        Salah Jota Greenwood Benrahma Brownhill
        Lukaku *Bamford Antonio

        Already used my 2 FTs to bring in Lukaku/Rudiger from CR7/Amartey. Now TAA and Bamford are out. Can still field a decent XI this week. Would you wildcard? Would you even wildcard next week? If they both return the team doesn't look too bad

          Nah, leave it for this week and reassess after the weekend.

        Would you do James, Sissoko > Rudiger, Gallager for -4?
        It will get me 8 starting attackers but with so much injuries recently it seems that i will need the best bench i can get

        1. caldracula
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Would just get Rudi.

          1. Pegboy
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Agree.

        Sitting here tinkering whilst recovering from a pulmonary embolism. Any thoughts on this wc team please guys?

        Mccarthy Ramsdale

        Dias Cancelo Alonso Rudiger Livramento

        Salah Grealish Saka Raphinha Brownhill

          You're lucky to be alive!

          That's a really good team tbh. I like it. Not much I'd change. Maybe downgrade McCarthy > Foster to shave some cash in case you want TAA back in.

          Hope you're doing well, my fiancée had one a number of years ago and was in hospital for a few weeks, was told if her GP didn't detect it she could have been dead within a few days. Still suffering from the effects of it but certainly doing a lot better. Stay well!

          Nice team, defence is really solid with options to upgrade to TAA if wanted in a few weeks without having to dismantle your team. Like the Watkins pick too, I worry about him being wasteful but he's looked so threatening the past few weeks

          Hope the recovery goes well mate. Nice one love the Watkins pick team very similar to what I had lined up for GW8WC and making me think about pulling the trigger now

          Thanks guys. Luckily we picked it up early now just need to take blood thinning meds for 6 months. Just hasn't been my year as I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 5 months ago and now this!

        Jimi or Vardy?

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

          Jimi - 3.0m goes a long way

      10. hustler7
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Would you WC this or wait? Only real changes I would make are in defence so prob worth holding?

        Foster/Bachmann
        TAA* Tierney Duffy Livra Tsimikas*
        Salah Sarr Benhrama Gallagher Gilmour*
        Ronaldo Lukaku Antonio

        Thanks as always and good luck all!

          Hold for next week.

        Anybody else committed to big hits in 7 despite wildcarding in 8?

        Feel like TAA/Bamford/Digne (keeping Shaw) to Azpi/Semedo/Vardy for a bit of fun (-8).

        1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Wouldnt be worth a -8 imo

        2. Pegboy
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Throwing away points to me, but good luck if you go for it.

      13. abaalan
        • 7 Years

        What are people doing with TAA on wildcard?

        1. Pegboy
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I'd ship, but have a plan to have the option of bringing back in a few weeks.

      14. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        2ft 1.0 ITB- WC8 is the plan
        Foster
        White Digne Shaw
        Salah Jota Raph Sarr
        Antonio Toney CR7

        Sanchez Brownhill Williams TAA

        A) TAA/Jota/Antonio > Alonso/Saka/Lukaku (c) -4
        B) Shaw/TAA/Jota > Alonso/Rudiger/Saka -4
        C) Shaw/Jota > Alonso/Saka

        1. Pegboy
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          C (but if WC-ing in GW8, I'd probably ship TAA rather than Shaw)
