Andy North and Pras combine again in another exclusive video for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout.

The pair will be chatting over on our YouTube channel about their own Gameweek 31 teams and the chip strategies being deployed within the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) community.

Will the pair be keeping or selling the injured pair of Marcus Rashford (£7.2m) and Luke Shaw (£5.1m)? Are they joining the 500,000 others that have already bought Jack Grealish (£7.1m) this week?

With Blank Gameweek 32 on the way, plans for these three players largely depend on whether a manager intends to activate their Free Hit chip.

Andy and Pras are live from 20:45 BST, with the stream watchable via the embedded video below.

And if you’ve missed the start or indeed the whole of the live broadcast, you can of course still watch the stream back from the start in its entirety.

Only Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout will be able to watch the video below, so make sure you sign up today to get access to not just this stream but also exclusive YouTube content from Andy, Mark and others throughout the 2022/23 campaign.



FPL Marc Broadcaster, writer and overthinker. Hoping that ‘differential potential’ will catch on.

  1. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    A: Play Chilwell (also starting Mitoma & March)
    B: Play Botman (starting Watkins)
    C: Chilwell to Ake (-4)
    D: Chilwell to TAA (-4)

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I think I'd start Chilwell

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Start Chilwell

    3. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A

    4. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A

  2. Kay317
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Raya, Kepa
    Shaw, Mee, Trips, Botman, Estup
    Rashford, Bruno, March, Mitoma, Maddison
    Haaland, Kane, Watkins

    What do you think to either of these options:
    A) Maddison, Rashford to Grealish, Mahrez -4.
    B) Maddison, Rashford, Watkins to Salah, Grealish and Greenwood. -8.
    C) Maddison to Grealish or Mahrez - if so which one?
    Thanks

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Patience is a virtue - C

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A failing that C. Deffo don't do B id hold Watkins

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      C. Grealish if long term (if just for the one week then Mahrez)

    4. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks all.

  3. Kevinw82
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Start Chilwell, Estupinan or Mings?

    Defence is so far is:
    Steele, Trippier, Gabriel

    Also Maddison or Andreas in midfield?

  4. nico05
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I know I'm asking a lot guys but losing a lead in work league. Any input greatly appreciated. 1FT-1.3 to spend.
    Raya
    Chilwell Trippier Mings
    Salah Saka Rashford Martinelli
    Watkins Haaland Havertz
    (Steele Mitoma Henry Shaw)

    1.) When would FH be best used?
    2.) Havertz - Jesus or Martial?
    3.) Rashford replacement suggestions.

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on if you have FH left and if using in 32 or 34.

      If FH32 you bench rashford and start Mitoma.

      If FH32 you have to use a transfer this week so not to waste it - so 1 week Lunt in Havertz -> Jesus is quite tempting… it’s not template though!

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I have FH still just unsure with line up when best to use it with my team? I was tempted by Jesus and martial tbh

    2. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Jesus and FH34.

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        FH better GW34 for this line up you reckon then?

    3. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      How far behind are you in the work league? If less than 30 points, I'd save the FH to as close to the last GW of the season (there are always some really crazy scores the last week, and you can make up a lot because of rotation).

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Good point there. I'm about 20 in front. if I do Havertz - Jesus gives me 9 players already for next GW

        1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Ah, just saw now said "losing a lead" (and not "losing"). I would definitely keep it in the bag unless you really need it. Even if your lead gets cut by 20 next GW, having that FH by the end will surely enable you to win if you are close in the last week.

  5. FCSB
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Raya
    Trippier Chilwell Shaw
    Fernandes Odegaard March Mitoma
    Haaland Kane Watkins

    Kepa Botman Estupinan Rashford

    1FT, 0.5 itb

    Plan to FH32

    1. Burn FT (FH next GW)
    2. Rashford >> Grealish (will want Rashford back for DGWs)
    3. Odegaard >> Martinelli

    Thanks!

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Chilwell -> City defender not an option you considering?

      1. FCSB
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Chilwell >> Ake is an option I guess, but plan is to work Ederson in eventually (0.1) short atm

        1. TheDragon
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Other option(I’m in similar position) is Kepa -> Iverson to free up cash and avoids totally burning the transfer , if Ederson is the aim

          1. FCSB
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah good point

            It’s annoying I can’t save 0.1 by doing Ode >> Marti

    2. Aussie Rules
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      2

  6. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    If FH32 which better A) rash to grealish or b) Maddison to grealish ? Thanks

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      B

    3. Aussie Rules
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Original plan for me was Maddison but with Rashford injury went with him out. No guarantee when he returns and at least Maddison (should) will be playing.

    4. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      b

    5. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Maddison, rashy could be back by 34 for the double?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yeh think going b due to DGW34

  7. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Bench Chilwell, James or Estupinan?

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      james

  8. Aussie Rules
    • 13 Years

    Start Chilwell or Henry?

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Chilwell

      cheers

  10. N00B
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    For this week, would you play Solanke or March?

    1. Hurnt
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      March

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        This

    2. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      March

    3. Bezz82
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Like the Solanke punt

    4. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Surely March. Chelsea under Lampard will attack but not sure about them at the back.

  11. TheDragon
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Every defender question is the same:

    My preferred starting order this week:

    1. Shaw
    2. Chilwell
    3. Henry/Mee
    4. Estupinan
    5. Botman/ Schar

    3,4,5 are super close though. Anyone care to agree / disagree.

    This should stop about 90% of posts 🙂

    1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'd say the Newcastle guys are 3. I am not sure about Brighton away to Chelsea... Lampard has no tactical sense but he throws a lot into attack. Newcastle is still one of the best defensive units over the season.

  12. Bezz82
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Just seen on here people saying Steele might be out? Any sources?

    I’ve got Steele & Kepa

    1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Would it matter? Surely you're playing Kepa out of the two this week anyway, no?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah Lampard's fave lol

        1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Ah, good point! I'm in the same boat, so may need to think about it too then.

      2. Bezz82
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        No, I’m going Steele. Think they will beat Chelsea. Kepa might be dropped as well

      3. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        There's chat that Lampard might begin playing Mendy.

      4. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks all for the pointer about Lampard and his history with Kepa... may need to get rid asap then!

  13. ZimZalabim
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this plan ? (FH32 )

    Chillwell and Maddy to Trent and Grealish -4 this week
    then

    Get Ederson and Martial in for Kepa and Watkins in 34 for free for 10dgw

    Current team is

    Raya (kepa)
    Chilly Trips Moreno Estu (Botman)
    Salah Mitoma Bruno Maddy (rashy)
    Erling Watkins

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Safe play just Maddison switch this week

      Good luck

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        cheers

  14. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Currently playing both mac & mitoma v che - is the crazy?

    1. Hurnt
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I’m doing the same

      Doesn’t mean it’s a good move tho

      1. Reece’s Pieces
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I’m a Chelsea fan playing both March and Mitoma … 🙁

      2. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Ok cheers- although I have Kepa & chilly too!!

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      nope

    3. Libano
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Nope, they create a lot of chances and Chelsea are rubbish at the moment. Plus, Chelsea got UCL midweek

  15. Libano
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Would you start Botman or Estupinan?

    1. FPLShaqiri
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Botman

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      estu

      assuming u have trips starting already

    3. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Robo.

  16. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Guys,

    Own Kepa and James. Play Raya over Kepa? Will James start?! Play Rico Henry or Estup. over him??

    Thanks.

    1. Hurnt
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I would start James tbh

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        You don't think he'll be benched??

        1. Hurnt
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          It’s a risk yes, but if he plays he could get attacking returns for u

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      start raya and james with estu first sub

    3. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I was tinkering with this, think I might go raya over Kepa as think Brighton are more likely to score than wolves

  17. paza12
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Is haaland worth a -4 this week if FH in 32 and Wildcard in 34? Cheers.

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      will u cap him if u buy him ?

    2. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      It’s a really tasty fixture for haaland so could miss a haul

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn't sell him this week

  18. FPLShaqiri
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Should I be tempted to go FH34 with this?

    Raya
    Botman Trippier Gabriel
    Saka MacAllister Bruno Rashford
    Havertz Kane Toney.

    Kepa, Maddison, Henry, Estupinan.

    Very unsure on moves this week.

  19. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Good luck fir tomorrow all. This is my set up:

    Raya
    Trips Schar Shaw
    Salah Mac March Grealish Saka
    Haaland Kane

    Kepa / Watkins Estu Bueno

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'd start Watkins over a Brighton midfielder or even Grealish

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Absolutely not for me.

        Early Ko curse, low scoring.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Good luck

            • 7 Years

            You too sir.

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      nice team I too would start Watkins but I see your point with the track record

  20. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    This would be my team in GW 32 without any hit
    Raya - Trippier - Botman - Saka - Martineli - Salah - Isak - Waktins and one more I will add next GW. So 9 players will be without any hit

    Should I save my FH then?

  21. waldo666
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    1 FT and 0.1 ITB.

    Was looking at Rashy to Olise but now considering shifting Mac Allister instead or even saving FT to give me two next week. Appreciate any thoughts here.

    Kepa
    Trippier Gabriel Shaw*
    Mitoma Salah Rashford* Saka
    Toney Haaland Felix

    (Raya Mac Allister Estupinan Castagne)

    A) Rashy to Olisie
    B) Mac Allister to Olise
    C) Felix to Watkins/Isak
    D) Save FT
    E) Something else

    1. abaalan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      What's chip strategy?

      1. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        No chips left!

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      no chips so no grealish I suppose ?

      long term C makes sense I suppose, A If its for 2 weeks

      1. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers mate, leaning that way.

  22. brixtonBob
    • 12 Years

    Sell Watkins or Toney ? (Buying Haaland)

    1. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      You must have King Kane and don't want to sell?

      Wetlegs is scoring, tough to sell.

      Betting on Toney is working. He could have braced last week.

    2. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Toney

    3. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Toney

  23. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Is Bruno now a defensive midfielder priced at nearly 10M?

    I bought him on his false dawn.

    Now I see that Sabitzer is playing way in front of Bruno

    Casemiro, Topo Gigio Face, is back from a Red to probably collect another Red.

    Do we think that Bruno could be back up front, or is Bruno now the new Erickson? So MU Midfield is now Bruno, Casemiro, Sabitzer with Erikson and Fred as subs?

    I hate being burned like this. I feel like I lost 200K of rank due to this head-fake.

    1. Bennerman
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A defensive midfielder? Don't be ridiculous.

      1. Capocannonieri
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Look at the heat map Dogg. I was watching the boring the Newcastle game and I thought he was not even playing. Same during the Everton game. No threat, basically Jorginho at Chelsea. A PK taker with no other threat

        Read the article...

        https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/erik-ten-hag-new-bruno-fernandes-dictator-role-man-utd-brilliant/blt6e07df9feb29a9c2

        Since you can't get points for possession, being clever in pressing, or assisting-the-assister, this makes Bruno worthless in FPL.

          Isn’t Casimero back this week?

            Even with Casimiro back, against Sevilla, it was Sabitzer in the 10-spot and Bruno was in Water Hauler duty with Casimiro.

    Anthony or Sancho worth a punt to replace rashford? Or even eriksen?

    Is Iversen still likely to play now that Leicester have changed their manager?

    Doing my head in having 1FT going to go to waste using FH32 unless I do:
    a) Saka > Salah - ballsy but could be genius
    b) chilwell or Pinnock > Estu or TAA

    Steele (Kepa)
    Trippier White Shaw* (Chilwell, Estu)

    Correct keeper, defence and bench order ?

    Play Chilwell or McAllister?

      Chilly although I am playing both

        The right and logical move is Chilly, but Chelsea is a disappointing and miserable team. If I play Chilly, he's going to get me 0-points. 2-points for playing, then a yellow and 2-goals given up.

        Or, he does not start. Gets a 10 minute cameo and a yellow. Still 0-points.

        Mac, on the other hand, is due a sparky game. BHA has a soul and Chelsea is basically a collection of golems. Any team with Aubameyang becomes trash. It's a contagious disease.

        Brighton might crush Plastic FC 4-1 with Mac getting a goal and an assist.
