Sponsored by FanTeam


FanTeam are teaming up with Fantasy Football Scout to launch an exclusive free event for readers of this site in Gameweek 8.

The FFS Monster tournament takes place this weekend, with the deadline at 15:00 BST on Saturday, and there is £500-worth of cash prizes on offer:

This is a tournament that essentially gives Fantasy managers the chance to build a ‘Free Hit’ squad for nine specified upcoming Gameweek 8 matches:

HOW TO ENTER

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.

If a player in your team isn’t in the starting XI for their side, the ‘Safety Net’ feature will automatically be enabled – replacing that player with the next priced player from the same position and club.

Captains score double, as normal.

A full list of rules is found in the image below:

HOW DOES THE SCORING WORK?

FPL managers looking for a way to make their knowledge pay will have no trouble picking up this event, with its familiar scoring system.

Think of it as FPL without the bonus points, with a few other exceptions such as win/lose points and rewards for shots on target – these are detailed in the graphic below:

      A is bold

      B

  2. Are you Shaw?
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    James Vs Cancelo?

    -James has better fixtures (next 4)
    -Both almost nailed (Zinchenko is fully fit and can't stay sidelined forever)
    -Both very attacking
    -James 0.7 cheaper

    I have no clue what to do

    1. Are you Shaw?
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      -Cancelo higher chance of CS (City's defence is number 1 in the league.. and Europe I think)

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

      James almost nailed? You're joking...

      1. Are you Shaw?
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        With Rudiger and Thiago Silva out.. he must be, no?

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

          You didn't specify it was for 1 game

    3. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      get cancelo this week and james next week

    4. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      James is far from nailed, I've owned James this season and won't be getting him back that's fir sure

      1. Are you Shaw?
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Alright these comments are helping me lean towards Cancelo (whom Ive been set on for the past two weeks but just wanted other people's two cents)

        Thanks for the input

        1. Cornelius
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Except Cancelo was diabolically bad against Liverpool just to reinforce that he is, in fact, a defensively poor defender. And Zinchenko can’t be far away. But offensively, well, a couple of rebounds so far but surely an intended pass will make its way to where it’s supposed to go eventually…

      2. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Unfortunate timing perhaps? James was injured and had a house break-in

    5. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C all day

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

    Think I'm rolling with this...

    Sanchez
    TAA / Alonso / Semedo / White / Livramento
    Salah (C) / Jota
    Ronaldo / Antonio / Toney

    Steele // Raphinha / Bissouma / Traore

    Move was planned to be either:
    A) Semedo > Dias
    B) Semedo > Cancelo

    Plus perhaps:
    1) Traore > Mbeumo
    2) Teaore > Gallagher
    3) Traore > ???

    Saka an option for the Traore spot but I could use that 0.5m difference tbh.

    Opinions?

    4. Hazz

      • 6 Years

      B isn't fun if he's benched 😉

      No 1/2?

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

        Only for a hit. then Gallagher as you have Toney.

  4. Couch Potato
    • 5 Years

    1. Machine_Gunnerz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Foden might be benched. He was in my draft but not I switch to mahrez

  6. tibollom

    hey guys, need some help here.. got 1 FT.. do i use it, roll or use my WC?

  7. sirmorbach

    Bottomed, friends, apologise. What do you say?

    Ramsdale / Foster
    TAA / Cancelo / Dias / Azpilicueta / Livramento
    Salah / Son / Foden / Raphinha / Luiz
    Antonio / Toney / Armstrong

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      v nice

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years

        Thank you, mate!

    2. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hm, no big hitters up front though, and if Foden, Raph and Luiz all don't play, I guess you're going 5-2-3. Happy with that and do you have a way to move to Lukaku/Vardy/Kane?

  8. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bench one:

    A) Rafhinha
    B) Duffy
    C) Livra

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Raphinha won't start, so base your decision around that. I own all 3 and Raphinha is 2nd on my bench

      Chilly

    3. Earn your Spurs

    Plan to WC Next Week

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

      no not really

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

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    Rudiger, Azpi, Cancelo, Dias (Livra)
    Saka, Gallagher, Raphinha, Salah, Benrahma
    Lukaku, Antonio, Jiminez.

    A) TAA and Benrahma from Rudiger and Brownhill (Europa rotation)
    B) TAA and Raphinha from Rudiger and Brownhill (Brazil may play 3 times again next ITB against Argentina)
    C) Hold and play Livra

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

      A for me.

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

        Thanks, that should say -4 as i WC last week and ran out of time to do Benrahma to Luiz last week. Doh!

    2. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A .. is this for a hit?

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

        Yes I WC last week. Pressed the button on Friday, tried to do Benny to Luiz at 10.59am Sat morning, but ran out of time. Came back as Jiminez Capt, so wasn't all bad (I was sure it was on Lukaku) 🙂

  12. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Seems a straightforward thinking but personally think Alonso will start bre and BUR due to his aerial advantage....
    With the fixture congestions, we may actually see a league left back (Alonso) and cup left back (Chilly)?

    1. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      The height thing is a good point, but I think the rotation won't be league vs cup(s), more just energy levels, who they're up against on the right flank, tactical gubbins, etc. Just means you need a good bench

  13. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Son and Toney or Ronaldo and Mbeumo?

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

      A

    2. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

  14. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is Rudiger > Christensen the normal, boring thing to do?

    (Have Cancelo & Dias and no money in the bank).

    1. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      RJames?

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        could be fun

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

      Punt with James could be gold next week

  15. Dexters Laboratory
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A) Hwang 343
    B) ESR 352

    Final decision for my WC

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

      A

    2. b91jh
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hwang

    3. KieranKA
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

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

    Nobody likes the expensive GK. But I just can't decide on a long term Chelsea defender.

    What do you reckon? On a WC.

    Mendy (Foster)
    Trent Dias Cancelo (White Livramento)
    Salah Jota Raphinha Mbeumo (Brownhill)
    Lukaku Antonio Toney

    1. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I can definitely see the appeal alright .. plenty of clean sheets in the short term

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

      no problem. You will have problems with AFCON and World club cup or whatever it is called

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not bad at all. Think I’ll go McCarthy.

  17. Earn your Spurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which 1 would you bench this week :-
    a> Livramento (LEEDS)
    b> Saiss (villa)
    c> Bissouma (norwich)

    Thanks 🙂

    1. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Biss probably going to bench himself in a jail cell ...so him

      1. Earn your Spurs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I'd missed this, but sounds like he'll be playing anyway

  18. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I’m struggling with this wild card big time.
    A. Mahrez and Dias
    B. Foden and TAA

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

      B

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A liva a little

    3. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

    4. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B .. TAA is nailed in my team

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

      has to be B if i am right and you have Cancelo

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        You are mate.

    6. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      TAA

    7. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Pretty darn conclusive.

    8. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Dias and TAA nailed, Foden and Mahrez will be rotated, so maybe base it on your feelings about ManC clean sheets vs Liverpool attacking points for Trent. I see why B would be the way to go but there's a bit of a vibe about Foden being rested this week so bear in mind...

  19. Squib
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Azpilacueta?
    James?
    Alonso?

    Or keep Rudiger

    Help needed please

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Azpi

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

        For nailed on starts?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yes and the odd assist.

    2. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      James

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

        Really tempted. Tbf if I knew Alonso was guaranteed any starts I'd have him in a heart beat

    3. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Keep Rudiger unless you cant get 10 out

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

        Definitely out though?

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      J

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

        Confident he starts?

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          With Rudi out, highly likely imo

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

            Which side is Chilwell on?

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

              he on the left side, on the left side, on the left side over here 🙂

            2. NABIL - FPL otai
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Chilwell/Alonso left, James/Azpi right

              I think Azpi will be benched or moved to the centre to accommodate James

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

                Aaarrgghh! Hahaha! Now I am even more undecided than before.
                I was reluctantly going Azpi for surety but coveting James or Alonso for haul potential.

  20. Squib
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who's wildcarding?

    1. Dexters Laboratory

    What to do with 1 FT, 0 ITB?

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo Azpi Livramento
    Salah Son RAPHINHA Harrion
    Lukaku Antonio Jimenez

    Foster WILLIAMS Brownhill RUDIGER

    A) Save FT (Brownhill likely to come in for 1-2 pts)
    B) Rudiger > James
    C) Antonio & Rudiger > Hwang/Pukki & TAA (-4)
    D) smth else?

    Repost.

    Grealish or Foden more nailed on for this GW?

    Cheers

      I think both should play. Foden has some threat from Gundogan.

      Sterling should play centrally, Mahrez on the right and Grealish on the left.

    Do we have a time scale on the Rudiger injury?

    Start 2 of these & bench order for other 2?

    A Alonso
    B Livra
    C Benny
    D Raph

    1. Bishopool

      Play Livra and... If I had Raph, I would play him as well with Alonso first on bench.

    Bruno -> Sterling (c) (under radar haul?)

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why not De Bruyne at that price point ?

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

      Could be under bench

      You'd have balls of solid brass to do that.

      I know im trolling myself too, but I think thats exactly the "Sterling type of game". 6:1. Hattrick and assist.

      If I would chase, I would consider it as a legit differential.

      + Jesus maybe out

    Thinking of Marcal to Laporte for 1 FT now that Rudiger is not playing. Thoughts ?

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger* Marcal (Livramento)

    Salah Saka Sarr Gray (Mendy)

    Ronaldo Lukaku (Perica)

      I'd just play Livra. Save a transfer and the cash to maybe have a look at that midfield next week.

    Folks, which option?

    (1) Greenwood/ Scarlett. ➡ Mbeumo/ Armstrong (-4)
    (2) Greenwood/ Shaw. ➡ Mbeumo/ Cancelo (-4)
