Fantasy Football Scout tasted glory in last weekend’s Mondogoal contests, claiming a signed West Ham signed match-ball on behalf of a community legend, whilst almost nudging our way into the big £30k end of season finale.

All praise Gabby Agbonlahor. His two-goal performance at the Stadium of Light last weekend propelled our Mondogoal squad to victory in the special West Ham matchball contest – helping us to a 123.12 point return. Okay, hands up, we had to enter six teams to win it but, even so – a precious souvenir for £6 is a big win.

For those who caught this week’s ScoutCast, either on YouTube or via yesterday’s post, you’ll know that the prize will be winging its way over to Doosra in a bid to pep him up following illness. Get well soon, fella.

Whilst that selection got the job done, we sadly failed to enter that aforementioned squad into last weekend’s £30k qualifier. Instead, our lineup ranked second, missing out by just eight points as Bigo1 claimed top spot ahead of us. He’s now earned six places in the final day contest in a bid to win the £10,000 top prize.

If you’ve yet to wise up to Mondogoal’s massive end of season contest, here’s the beef:

How Does it Work?

In the final Gameweek of the season, Mondogoal will crown their first World Champion and they will go away with a huge £10,000 top prize.

So far, 62 qualifiers have gone forward to the final Gameweek contest, with 108 places still up for grabs. To qualify, you need to win one of Mondogoal’s £30k qualifying contests – you can enter these for just £2.

How Do I Enter?

Mondogoal are running three more qualifying contests this weekend. You have until 12.35 on Saturday to select you line-up for either the £2, £10 or £50 contests.

The more you lay down with your stake, the more chance you have of making it through, with just 22 teams competing in the £10 contest and only five duking it out in the £50 stake contest.

If you’re consistent with your picks you may even be able to progress with more than one team – you can have up to ten entries in the Championship final come May.

Don’t forget, you can enter multiple contests with the same Mondogoal line-up with the click of a button.

Having multiple teams will obvious increase your outlay but, with the ability to block out defences, you’ll certainly be increasing your chances of hitting a big score.

Once you’ve created your squad for one contest, go to your list of entries, click on a contest and then click “Enter This Line-up in Other Contests”.

Mondogoal are also offering a pair of West Ham tickets for their forthcoming home match with Stoke City.

FF Scout Gameweek 30 Picks

mg

First up, Hugo Lloris looks a steel for this week’s contests – while we don’t expect him to be peppered with shots and return points for saves, a clean sheet looks on the cards at home to Leicester; at just 4.9 million, we can’t look beyond the Frenchman.

Elsewhere, we’ve not managed to squeeze in any of Spurs’ attacking assets, preferring instead to build this XI around the talents of Sadio Mane and Eden Hazard in midfield. Both bristle with goal threat at Hull and at home to Burnley respectively and, like our other midfield selections – Charles N’Zogbia and Yannick Bolasie – will draw foul points aplenty.

At the back, we’ve opted for the twin threat of attacking talent and clean sheet potential, with three full-back raiders covering the Southampton, Chelsea and Arsenal defences: all three look well placed for shutouts. Bellerin, in particular, looks a bargain at just 5.8 million.

Up front, we’re compelled to look the way of Olivier Giroud once again, given his current form – the 11.9 million price tag looks modest and allows us to afford West Ham’s Diafra Sakho, who will surely carry the threat to a beleaguered Sunderland this weekend. The final striker spot goes to Southampton’s Shane Long – a cheap enabler at just 5.7 million – we’re hoping he keeps his start having ousted Graziano Pelle at the Bridge to provide us with some decent value against the Clarets at St Mary’s.

We’ll be entering this lineup in a variety of contests this weekend, including Mondogoal’s £2 qualifier for the £30k World Championship.

As always, we’ll be waiting on the teamsheet for the early kick-off at the Etihad to see if we can eek any advantage via last minute tweaks.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    YAYA injured and 1.4mill ITB. So I have the choice of any midfielder in the game. Already have Mane, Eriksen, Hazard and Gil... Who would you go for?

    1. sbasty
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Not that you were going to reply Carlos Gil....

    2. WhySoSerious?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Sanchez/what arsenal mid you prefer
      Or Silva

      1. sbasty
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        hmm tempted as I dont have Giroud. Putting Sanchez in seems to be opposite to what everyone else is doing though.

  2. WhySoSerious?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    2ft, 0,1 in the bank. Struggling to come up what transfer to do..

    Ooooooooo-spina
    Terry, Fonte, Wols
    Haz, Sanchez, Silva, Downing
    Giroud, Aguero, Kane(c)

    Krul, Boyd, Dawson, Bruce

    Any ideas?
    Plus, is Kane the safe captain for top 1000? Happy with my current rank..

    Thx!

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Fonte to Toby…free up cash?

  3. 50 Shades Oshea

    10 years, 9 months ago

    what are people doing about strike options from 34... this debate is killing me.

    ings- class fixtures and is the man to save burnley and allows you big hitters elsewhere and will score more then mids in similar price bracket.

    costa- double and chels surely will start scoring again

    sturridge- amazing fixtures and double in 37 probably and will be starting now i reckon...

    giroud- man in form and double in 37.

    kane and aguero- you cant get rid due to fear factor.

    costa and sturridge mean i will need to dowgrade the likes of ozil to ki and boyd....

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Kun-Giroud-punt

      1. 50 Shades Oshea
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        i think kun will find form as if city carry this on they will not get in the top 4 at this rate, which i cant see happening

      2. 50 Shades Oshea
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        tempted to take harry out from34, its difficult though. wish we could play 5 strikers

        1. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          This

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I'm going Kane, agüero, tekkers and then tekkers > Costa

      1. 50 Shades Oshea
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        ye i like that, i was thinking tekkers-costa and sturridge...

        1. 50 Shades Oshea
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

        Same.

  4. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Bell
      Don't think Hutton will start.

    2. Rex Lapis
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Bellerin

  5. Game of Stones
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Use 2nd FT to do something with Panti/Krul?

    Wouldn't be suprised to see Mannone given a start by the new manager...

    1. Game of Stones
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Panti/Foster*

    2. Wiz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Not worth it imo

  6. Rex Lapis
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

  7. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts about Pants -> Guzan transfer? My other keeper is Myhill. Have 5.9 to spend but not interested spening more than 5.0

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Ospina no good? When he blanks then Myhill can step in?

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Never thought about him. Worth consider.

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Im looking at the same

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

      Does Ospina work?

  8. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone doing Austin to Giroud even with the double? I have 2 FTs and tempted to use 1 for this.

    1. jbenny1107
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Yep. Giroud on fire. Austin finishing % too low.

  9. adams_6
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Myhill Foster
    Bertrand Bellerin Zouma Dawson PVA
    Boyd Silva Hazard Sterling Sanchez
    Kane Aguero (c) Giroud

    2FT 0.7 ITB

    I'm dying to get rid of Sterling, really Fancy Rambo but got 3 x AFC.
    Siggy? I'm not sold on Mane

    1. RustyBz
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Mane for Sterling

  10. jbenny1107
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Everyone in Arsenal world thinks Sanchez will rest this weekend. Yay or nay?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      How can anyone vouch for the everyone in the Arsenal world?

    2. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      James here from Arsenal world - Sanchez to start.

    3. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      who cares. i don't have him.

    4. MCH
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I doubt they all do.

    5. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      He starts when fit.

      Are these the same people who've been saying Walcott will start every game for the last 2 months?

    6. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      You can't rest your best player before an international break whilst embroiled in a battle for top 4.

    7. jbenny1107
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Just reading up on Arsenal articles. One did say Cazorla rests and Sanchez starts. Most said Sanchez rests.

      1. Hanked
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Not really worth reading.

  11. Tinmen
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Who's the better pick folks?

    Fabianski
    Adrian

    1. jbenny1107
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Fab.

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Flappy IMO

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Fabianski.

  12. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    DDG (Smith)
    Terry Pieters PVA (Haidara Dawson)
    Hazard Ozil Alexis Eriksen (Boyd)
    Aguero Kane Defoe

    What would you do with this lot? 2FT but nothing in the bank.

    Defoe has to go, but who to get and would you do a second transfer?

  13. 1314
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    why is Aguero's price dropping ? did I miss something ?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Because he is being sold.

    2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      the last few weeks?

    3. jbenny1107
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Differential with Tekkers or Giroud. They will regret it. He'll be lone striker this weekend.

    4. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      No pts in last couple of weeks, doing Kun to Costa/Benteke/Giroud etc...

    5. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      when people take out a player their price drops. *amazing*

    6. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      People don't watch games, they just watch points. He is due big hauls he has been unlucky. People are switching to players who are not reliable captains and are not as explosive as Aguero.

  17. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Terry, Clyne, Toby, Bellerin. Which one to bench?

    Would say Bellerin, but I wonder if it's better to spread the risk rather than double up on Saints?

  18. seanie3
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Bib theory pics of arsenal's training session last week were proved right eg caz on the bench and Walcott and chambers starting..

    any pics from today's or yesterday training session please, need to know if caz might get benched again.

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldn't actually mind all that much if Bellerin is benched as long as the rest of my team start 🙂

    2. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      bib theory says caz benched, flamini starts

      1. seanie3
        • 14 Years

        looks like i'll be getting rid of caz this week then

      2. Whazza
        • 13 Years

    Manchester United @ManUtd · 4m 4 minutes ago
    Louis van Gaal tells #MUTV that Marcos Rojo and Luke Shaw are not fit enough to start for #mufc at Anfield but may be on the bench.

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Shaw not playing is a big blow to Liverpool but they'll miss Rojo.

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years

      Hope this means Blind continues at left back.

    1. jbenny1107

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Good point about the DGW. Although we don't yet know for certain if Advocaat fancies Pantilimon or Mannone.
