The latest cheap entry route into FanTeam’s €100k Gameweek 38 event


Sponsored by FanTeam


FanTeam has been the home of big-money Fantasy tournaments for several years now – and there’ll be one final extravaganza of 2021/22 in Gameweek 38, with €100k up for grabs.

Entries for this event usually cost €100 per team but you’ll be glad to hear that there is a much, much cheaper way of entering.

We’re talking about ‘satellite’ tournaments, whereby you enter a different Fantasy tournament and win a seat to the Gameweek 38 Season FInale via that route.

In fact, many of these satellites cost less than a Sunday newspaper!

For example: when entering the usual FanTeam Gameweek 35 Weekly Monster for money prizes, Fantasy managers can use the same XI to enter a satellite event that offers places in the Season Finale event and its €100,000 prize pot.

All you have to do is build a ‘Free Hit’ squad for the upcoming Gameweek – and you’ve got right up to 15:00 BST on Saturday to do it, so you can enter even after the teamsheets for the mid-afternoon kick-offs are released.

Head to the FanTeam lobby and look for the ‘EPL Weekly Monster Satellite to THE €100K GW38 EPL FINALE [20 seats GTD]’ link (seen above) to choose your level of entry.

WEEKLY MONSTER FIXTURES

SCOUT PICKS FOR GAMEWEEK 35

Three of the defensive picks are identical to last week, starting with Vicente Guaita in goal. It was pointed out that Crystal Palace ranked fifth-best for conceding shots on target, shots in the box and expected goals (xGC). Then, the Eagles proceeded to draw 0-0 with Leeds United on Monday and leapfrog Spurs into having the league’s fourth-best xGC.

Whilst following the ‘reverse fixture’ logic wasn’t successful last time with Conor Coady, Wolves did also shut out Brighton and Hove Albion in Gameweek 17. Both teams have stronger defences than attacks, so it should be a low-scoring encounter.

No surprise to see Joao Cancelo involved again, priced at 11.0m for the trip to Leeds. Although it’s never wise to predict the line-up of Pep Guardiola, the full-back was suspended against Real Madrid on Tuesday night so is likely to start here.

He is one of only two defenders to have totalled more touches in the opposition penalty area than Aston Villa’s Matty Cash. A recent three-game spell of two goals, two assists and 43 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points showcased the underlying stats that have impressed people all season. At home to Norwich City, Cash is backed to produce at both ends of the pitch.

Connor Roberts impersonated Cash by scoring from right-back against Southampton in Gameweek 33 and Burnley are confident of winning their third consecutive match this weekend, away to Watford.

In midfield, Kevin De Bruyne and Philippe Coutinho are the star attacking talents for their teams’ aforementioned meetings with Leeds and Norwich. The latter has five successive blanks but De Bruyne delivered four goals and four assists during the same period.

Wilfried Zaha‘s goal against Southampton in Gameweek 17 was one of this season’s 11. It’s his joint-most at Premier League level and he has five matches to set a new personal record. The fourth midfielder is the cheap Christian Eriksen, who won’t be intimidated by a trip to Old Trafford. Brentford is unbeaten in seven outings.

This two-man strikeforce is fairly self-explanatory. Wout Weghorst has improved of late and visits an opponent that has lost ten consecutive home matches. Meanwhile, Harry Kane loves facing Leicester City. From 13 league matches, he has a phenomenal 16 goals and four assists against the Foxes.

HOW TO PLAY: A BRIEF GUIDE

Slightly different from the usual squad-based games, FanTeam managers are given a budget of 107m to build a team of 11 players that includes at least one goalkeeper, three defenders, two midfielders and one forward.

A maximum of three players are allowed from one club and captains score double points, as usual.

Here are some other minor differences to the otherwise easy-to-play game:

  • There is no bench or manual substitutes; instead, there is a ‘Safety Net’ feature. If a player in your Fantasy team isn’t in the starting XI for their side, they will automatically be substituted for the next priced player from the same position and club.
  • A ‘Stacking Penalty’ is given if you have two or more defensive players from the same club and they keep a clean sheet. One point is deducted for each additional asset that you select from the same side.

HOW DOES THE SCORING WORK?

FPL managers looking for a way to make their knowledge pay will have no trouble picking up FanTeam‘s Gameweek 35 Weekly Monster, with its familiar scoring system.

Think of it as FPL without the bonus points, with a few other exceptions such as shots on target and winning/losing impact points – detailed in the graphic above.

      I currently have them all. It's close but I'd say A, because well, you know, it's Salah.

  2. EL tridente

    Would you free hit the following team in 36? Or save it for 37, where I don't have that many DGW players.

    Sa, Dubravka
    TAA, James, Laporte, Coady, KWP
    Salah, Son, Mount, Saka, Maddison
    Richarlison, Broja, Gelhart

  3. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years

    Decided on a -12 to spice things up.

    Schar > Cash
    Bruno > KDB
    Havertz > Zaha
    Sancho > Jota

    Planning FH36. Guessing James has a better chance of 60 mins compared to Alonso.

    Foster
    TAA, Robertson, James, Cash
    KDB (c), Jota, Zaha, Saka, Kulusevski
    Kane

    Schmeichel, Alonso, Broja, Greenwood

    Good luck everyone!

      Martinelli not sure about - he looks great when playing but numbers not great - Gordon would be the obvious swap

    2. Jonesy5
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I’m also on WC and trying to decide between Son&Foden or KDB&Coutinho.
      Martinelli and Soyuncu would worry me in your team

  5. daviyb

    Luis Diaz or Mahrez for next few weeks?

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Neither.
      Mahrez annoyed Pep to the point of exploding on Tuesday. Diaz is exciting but won’t get the minutes.

      1. Diedhiou See That?

    1. Boss Hogg

      I’d go Foden.
      And bench both Pukki and White.

    Who to bring in this week?
    A) Countino (have Watkins)
    B) Foden
    C) Grealish

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years

  13. boombaba
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Play matip or Dennis

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Dennis

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Matip

    3. Flynniesta
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Matip

  14. sneif4
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    How's this WC looking? All 15 have DGW for BB in 36

    Martinez schmeichel
    Robbo TAA Alonso Cancelo Cash
    Salah Son Mount Gordon KDH
    Dennis Pukki Nketiah

    1. XX SMICER XX
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I get the template of 3 budget forwards, but 2 of them could be relegated shortly & the other is 1 bad game from rotation

      1. sneif4
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Yeah, definitely light up top. Thing is, there's no others I really fancy. Watkins, Werner we're options, but I don't know who is want to downgrade to get one

        1. XX SMICER XX
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          I get it and if I was on a WC I would probably go down the same route

  15. XX SMICER XX
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Is this the correct bench?

    Dubravka Barnes Ramsey Saint-Max

    Ramsdale
    TAA Tarkowski Young Laporte Alonso
    Salah Havertz Son
    Watkins Weghorst

    1. Flynniesta
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I’d be tempted with Ramsey against Norwich instead of Weghorst

  16. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    On WC, for BB36…and thereafter;
    A or B? What’s your opinion?

    A. Laporte, Matip, Richarlison, Watkins

    B. James, Robertson, Dennis, Pukki

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Tough. Problem with A is that Everton suck away so 36 is likely a poor week for them. Watkins also very hot and cold (with some more of the latter recently). Has the higher ceiling though

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Yeah..open questions; How many minutes will James play on DGW…benched against Leeds? Is 90 min enough for him to perform? Are Richarlison and Watkins an upgrade compared to Dennis and Pukki on DGW36? Or not?

    3. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A with matip cash

  17. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Which pair has the higher ceiling for a GW 36 BB?

    A) Pereira, Broja
    B) Taylor, Dennis

  18. Hazardous1983
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    James and havertz to cancelo and foden or

    Schar to cash and havertz to foden.

    Fh 37

  19. tom66
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    JWP or Zaha for this week?

    1. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Zaha

  20. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    quick one; which trio please????

    Saka, Mateta & Gelhart
    or
    Ramsey, Nketiah & Weghorst

    Will play Saka / Nketiah this GW
    Then I am bench boosting 36 so all players will be needed.

    Thanks in advance

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      R, N and W but mainly because Gelhart very likely 2 points on a BB and Mateta a rotation risk. Saka is best player out of the lot though

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Yeah that’s what’s making it a really tight choice, thanks

  21. NATSTER
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Just realized that Chelsea will play 6 games in 22 days and they will play GW37 & GW38 in space of 4 days.

    Thu 28/04 - MUN (A). ... full strength
    Sun 01/05 - EVE (A). ... rotated?
    Sat 07/05 - WOL (H) ... full strength
    Wed 11/05 - LEE (A) ... rotated?
    Sat 14/05 - FA CUP Final ... full strength
    Thu 19/05 - LEI (H) ... ??
    Sun 22/05 - WAT (H). .. ??

    Not a good idea to buy Alonso now, I guess.

    No chip left. Should I just go with C and have 2 FTs next week?
    A : [-4] Sanchez + Odegaard > 3.9 GK + Coutinho
    B : [-4] Amartey + Odegaard > Alonso + Ramsey .. bench Gordon
    C : Just play Odegaard + Gordon + 4 points

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Lot to be said going into the double with 2FT, although with no BB that's probably less concerning. I'd probably go C - think Alonso is chasing last week's points and could be rested as you say. A might not pay off, but probbaly does over the double double to follow

      1. Amsterhammer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I did the some similar thinking and brought in Cash this week instead of Alonso. Could be foolish.

        1. NATSTER
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          I'm also considering Cash, but I couldn't do it with 1 FT. He could start more than Alonso and does well too.

      2. NATSTER
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Thank you for the rating. I like Alonso's positioning and set-piece duty, but it's probably not the right time to get him really. I think I should just look else where for points.

        Thinking about A and Coutinho.
        > Getting him now will have a chance to plus NOR (H) on two DGWs.
        > Getting him on DGW36 will include LIV (H) and there are better DGW players available
        > Getting him on DGW37 for free looks optimum for points

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      C

      1. NATSTER
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Thanks Winston. I'm likely to move that way.

    Schmeichel, Barnes, Broja, Gelhardt

    A. Barnes to Coutinho (bench White)
    B. Havertz to Coutinho

      I wouldn't triple up on Chelsea players. Blues don't have strong records at Goodison Park. The last time they beat Everton there was back in 2017. This time could be a tight result with no goal festival.
