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:

RankPrize
1st£100
2nd£75
3rd£60
4th£50
5th£40
6th£35
7th£30
8th£25
9th£20
10th£15
11th-15th£10

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:

AZ AND JOSH’S GW8 PICKS

The winner of last season’s €200k prize, Josh Wooldridge, joins Az to discuss his weekly picks in the video below:

GAMEWEEK 8 WEEKLY MONSTER

For those Fantasy managers looking for an even bigger prize pool, FanTeam have a £42k Weekly Monster event running simultaneously in Gameweek 8.

The rules and scoring system are the same as above, with entries costing £10.08.

    My current squad is
    Sanchez (Foster)
    TAA Shaw Azpilicueta (Cresswell, Amartey)
    Sarr Raphinha Salah Benrahma (Brownhill)
    Jimenez Antonio Ronaldo

    (A) Is Livramento or White a better option to replace Amartey??? I prefer White esp given Arsenal's recent gd defensive record but not sure whether it is correct esp given Southampton's upcoming fixtures
    (B) Should i play with a 4-3-3 n relegate one of Raphinha/Benrahma to e bench or stick with 3-4-3?

      Surely he effectively is not available.

      Bielsa is a man of facts, and as he couldn't factually rule him out, he didn't - that's my reading of Bielsa's press conference comments.

      But he played a game THIS MORNING.

      It was 5000 MILES away.

      And Leeds have a game TOMORROW.

      Surely there is no chance. Surely.

        You're right, almost certainly he won't play. But he can sleep on the the plane and Leeds can work out the logistics of getting him to Southampton from the airport.

      Did I read something wrong.... I though I read from press conference that Raph come back from Internat break with injury. So I think he will not play. Am I wrong?

    Moyes is very much irritating from fpl point of view. Hasn't given any clues at all. Now need to check who all went for international duties and need to guess. I have benrahma.

      Semedo. Little upside in taking a hit for a defender who will probably end up with 6 points even if he keeps a CS.

      Both have an element of risk. Pep hinted that Stones might play this weekend. James - is he fully fit? James has the higher upside for sure. But Chelsea's defence is looking quite depleted and Brentford scored three vs Liverpool. Tricky. Maybe neither this week.

    Coufal -> Cancelo (vs Burnley)
    Gallager -> Son (vs Newcastle)
    CR7 -> Maupay (vs Norwich)

    Worth a -4? Will wildcard next week. Have 2FTs this week but can't make sensible moves without taking a hit. Thoughts?
