In the absence of the ill Mark Sutherns, our Members-only video this week features five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman and current high-flyer Az, who is sitting at 555th in the world.

They are discussing their own team and transfer plans for Double Gameweek 31, as well as their contrasting fortunes this season.

The ‘best’ options from the two teams with a pair of fixtures, Burnley and Everton, are also debated.

The pair were live on Friday afternoon with this latest video for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout, which you can watch again via the embedded video below.

Free seven-day trials are still available for non-subscribers, which you can get here.

          And I think the fact that they’ve got Man Utd is probably a huge part of the reason so many are reluctant to lose him. And Everton after than and Newcastle after that.

            He won’t play tomorrow, City and Utd ARE difficult fixtures then it’s wildcard time in GW34

              You’ve absolutely no idea whether he’ll start tomorrow. Utd are not a difficult fixture. Let’s stick to facts.

        “Trent trained yesterday, parts, and will be in full training today. We have to see what we do with it. It will be tight for tomorrow but it’s possible. With our rehab and fitness department, it was really intense what he did before he trained with us. Physically he should be fine and now we have to make a decision about rhythm and these kinds of things.”

          Looks it’s obvious he won’t play tomorrow then it’s two difficult fixtures (yes Utd is a difficult fixture), he’s an obvious sell if you still have a wildcard up your bum hole

            It’s a fair point on martinelli! I have lacazette who has been decent but not worth the cash so thinking about ditching and getting martinelli for 33! He’s so cheap I think the upside elsewhere in my team is worth.

            Only other option for u is Hwang to fodder to free up cash. Good position to be in tho!
