FPL Scout League Now Open
Filed under: Fantasy Football Scout Leagues - Posted by: Mark
The Scout’s Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Classic League has now been renewed and is open for registration. Those who participated in our league last season will have been automatically renewed as members of our league again this term.
If you’re new to the Scout, then you’ll need to go to the league page on the FPL site, click “Join a League”, select “Private League” and enter the following code – 40184-13425. You’ll find this code on the homepage, in the middle column, from now on.
What do you get if you win the Classic League? Huge kudos and a place in the hall of fame alongside Jon Reeson, Chris McGurn and last season’s winner Gary McLean. Plus, of course, if you’ve won the Scout league, you’re likely to be right up there with the best FPL managers, challenging for the top prize. Two of the last three FPL Champions have come from the Fantasy Football Scout League, while Gary McLean ranked third overall last season, missing out on the crown on the final day by just ten points. In other words, the standard is pretty bloody high.
We’ll be putting together regular league updates on the site, tracking the progress of the front runners as the Gameweeks roll by and those tussling at the top will, of course, get regular mentions in the ScoutCast.
We will also be launching a Members League – details of that will be appearing in the Members area early next week.

is pearce still nailed on?
also, just to repost, is maiga?
July 21 at 4:37 pm
Kagawa says:
Pearce – definitely.
Not sure about Maiga.

isacki - rotation makes my head spin. says:
United are playing a 4-4-1-1 with Kagawa “in principle” in the hole – but the guy is amazing. He drifts everywhere, his average position would be all over the opponent’s half. Drops deep to help out and also surges forward, often the furthest player forward. He is involved in everything.

Giggs Boson says:
Work rate and quality. He’s got a fantastic career ahead of him!
July 21 at 3:49 pm
Scraftius Maximus says:
May well have him for my entire season.
July 21 at 3:54 pm
Giggs Boson says:
+1. If he starts every game he looks suberb value!

looking pretty good, defense is a bit heavy imo though.. would get rid of hangaland for a cheapy and upgrade mid

Back on the subject of alcohol for a moment.
Who’s had Birra Moretti?
Lovely Italian lager, but… and there is a but – it gives me one hell of a hangover. There must be something in that, that isn’t in the likes of Carling, Becks, Fosters etc as even 3 large bottles of it can make me feel like death the morning after.

RMT
Begovic – Jassk
Cole – Lescott – Cuellar – Hangeland – Wilson
Hazard – Kagawa – N’Zog – Noble – Maloney
Aguero – Torres – Graham
July 21 at 4:03 pm
Giggs Boson says:
Looks great. I wouldn’t want a 5m defender rotating with two other players over one slot though.
July 21 at 3:41 pm
Round and Round says:
If Michu comes in at 6.0 as expected, A or B?
A) Bale + Graham
B) Michu + Adebayor
July 21 at 3:43 pm
Giggs Boson says:
” and if Adebayor goes to Spurs” then B. But there’s talk of him moving abroad…
July 21 at 3:47 pm
Round and Round says:
oo where?

Locomotive Moscow were interested I think.

Moscow but it might not happen.

July 21 at 3:45 pm
jordanmw94 says:
Depends if Adebayor gets the Tottenham move or not, if he does then I’d say B, I have a feeling Bale won’t stand out as much this year and although Swansea have quite an easy start, I still don’t think it would match up to B
July 21 at 3:47 pm
aflickering says:
Team A:
Jaas | 4.0 filler
Terry | Ivanovic | Gunter | Kaboul | Rangel
Kagawa | Hazard(C) | Sigurdsson | Noble | Dyer
Aguero | Tevez | Pogrebnyak
VS.
Team B:
Jaas | 4.0 filler
Terry | Ivanovic | Pearce | Kaboul | Rangel
Kagawa | Hazard(C) | Guthrie | Noble | Michu (projected 6.5)
Aguero | Tevez | Bent
July 21 at 3:49 pm
Giggs Boson says:
Rotating Kaboul sounds awful. I’d downgrade him to a 4.5m and get 2 rotating keepers 5m/4.5m.
July 21 at 3:58 pm
Giggs Boson says:
And team A looks good
July 21 at 3:47 pm
Round and Round says:
Another quick poll:
A) De Gea, Terry, McClean/Pienaar
B) Cech, Cuellar, Kagawa
July 21 at 3:50 pm
aflickering says:
A, with pienaar.
July 21 at 3:50 pm
Giggs Boson says:
B, but i’d prefer cheaper keepers.
July 21 at 3:50 pm
Scraftius Maximus says:
Tough Kagawa’s great but so is DDG and Terry.
July 21 at 3:48 pm
jordanmw94 says:
Just wondering on your thoughts to a few selections of players
Jones/Ferdinand
Demba Ba
Pienaar
Mata
Team so far is:
Cech (Jaaskelainen)
A Cole, Heitinga, Jones, Kelly (Cuellar)
Dempsey, Mata, Taarabt, Pienaar (Noble)
Aguero, Ba (Holt)
July 21 at 3:50 pm
Round and Round says:
Even tho Michu is a bit punty? He may not even start over De Guzman
July 21 at 3:50 pm
Aditya says:
Ok..after many attempts fielding my team..i thought i’d go with this for a while until i change my team again..
I need your opinions here..
DDG, Federici
Ivanovic Lescott MCcartney Cuellar Hughes
Kagawa Hazard Noble De Guzman (Will be Michu) Maloney
Aguero Torres Graham..
Got 2.0 in bank
July 21 at 3:55 pm
Round and Round says:
I have McCartney too. Thinking Demel is more likely to be nailed on tho. Other than that looks good. As you’re lacking spurs coverage id consider this:
Aguero -> Tevez
Hughes -> Hangeland
Kagawa -> Bale
Ivanovic -> Terry
Graham -> D.Cisse
All assuming u will get Rooney for Torres in gw2. See how much Tevez improves ur team!
July 21 at 3:58 pm
Aditya says:
Yeah..been thinking to do those exact transfers..for the moment..this team is wat i’ll be goin with..If Tevez stays..he’in my team..and i think i’ll go with 2 Cfc players and do Hazard>Bale.

transferaddict says:
When you click on a league you are entered into and see the list of names of people who have joined how is the order of the names determined? Does anyone know?
July 21 at 3:53 pm
transferaddict says:
I seem to be the first name on the list in the scout league ahead of granville and martin axford! but I dont know how I achieved this
July 21 at 3:54 pm
Archie says:
Isn’t it the order they signed up for it, with yourself at the top if you aren’t on the first page
July 21 at 3:57 pm
Giggs Boson says:
A late goal to make it 1-0. That scoreline gives a good omen for winning the Premier League
July 21 at 3:59 pm
Giggs Boson says:
Sctratch that

Green
mccartney—lescott—ivanovic—hangeland
Hazard—McAnuff—Noble
Torres—Aguero—Holt
subs (Kaboul, Maloney, Larsson). and i have 4.5 million in the bank. So please RMT and tell me what to do or who i should add. Thanks in advance.
July 21 at 4:52 pm
Round and Round says:
4.5 in the bank?!!
Larsson -> McClean
McAnuff -> Pienaar
Green -> De Gea
Other keeper -> Federici (and play him gw1)
Leaves u 2 mil to do Torres -> Rooney in GW2
July 21 at 4:56 pm
Round and Round says:
Not sure Holt is a good punt. Pog/Graham/Petric/D.Cisse are similar priced better options.
Also, just realised u have no spurs! Use the 2 mil to get Kagawa for McClean now, then do Torres to Adebayor in GW2.

Lescott/Demel or Clichy/4.5 def
July 21 at 4:41 pm
Round and Round says:
Lescott Demel. West Ham will keep around 10 cleanies i reckon. Big Sam is a fantastic manager for a solid defence in BPL.
July 21 at 4:43 pm
Kagawa says:
A
July 21 at 4:36 pm
MavKing43 says:
here’s my squad. plz tell me Ur idea about it:
GK: De Gea,Begovic
DEF: Hutton,Gorkss,Lescott,Hangeland,Cole A
MID: Noble,Larsson,Nasri,Cabaye,Hazard
FW: Aguero,Torres,Rodallega
with 0.5 in the bank, I will rotate Aguero to Rooney in GW2.
July 21 at 4:43 pm
Kagawa says:
Midfield is different. Better options than Larsson in that price bracket IMO.
July 21 at 4:47 pm
Round and Round says:
Hutton -> Demel
Cabaye -> Maloney
Nasri -> Bale
Leaves u 2mil to do Torres to Rooney. Keep Aguero
July 21 at 4:48 pm
Round and Round says:
Larsson -> McClean
Gorkss -> Clyne
July 21 at 4:58 pm
Aaron says:
FIRST GO at a team
De Gea
A.Cole Clichy Tomkins
Kagawa Hazard (c) Silva Noble
Pog Rooney torres (v)
subs Cerny Brittan Clyne Fabio
please RMT
July 21 at 5:01 pm
aflickering says:
cerny is the worst 4.0 keeper to have ’cause of price changes. otherwise good, if a little generic…

hey does anyone have the rotation spreadsheet?
July 21 at 5:32 pm
You're Not, You're Not Incredible says:
Why do you want to take someone else’s opinion instead of formulating your own?
July 21 at 5:36 pm
isacki - rotation makes my head spin. says:
Because there’s not much opinion involved in choosing the easiest fixture out of 2 or 3 options, it’s just a summary, the same way that the season ticker on the right is. Taking someone else’s opinion is asking them “which striker should I take” and doing what they say.
July 21 at 6:15 pm
You're Not, You're Not Incredible says:
It’s still someone else’s opinion of what they deem to be an easy fixture out of what they deem to be the viable options!
July 22 at 8:05 am
mottttaaaa says:
i agree with isacki its nothing major its just the easiest fixtures that help formulating a team with the rotations
July 22 at 10:50 am
You're Not, You're Not Incredible says:
OK, let’s take the Arsenal – Tottenham rotation (as it’s the first one) suggestion on that spreadsheet:
GW6 – Ars v Che, Man v Tot
GW12 – Ars v Tot
GW14 – Eve v Ars, Tot v Liv
GW20 – Ars v New, Sun v Tot
GW22 – Ars v Mci, QPR v Tot
GW23 – Che v Ars, Tot v Man
GW24 – Ars v Liv, Nor v Tot
GW25 – Ars v Sto, WBA v Tot
GW26 – Sun v Ars, Tot v New
GW28 – Tot v Ars
GW29 – Ars v Eve, Liv v Tot
GW32 – WBA v Ars, Tot v Eve
GW34 – Ful v Ars, Tot v Mci
GW35 – Ars v Man, Wig v Tot
So, in MY opinion, 14 GWs that stand out as offering a poor chance of clean sheets, which I believe makes this a poor rotational pairing; as these were two of the teams that performed best defensively last season (Tottenham 4th, Arsenal 7th least goals conceded!), there must surely be a better pairing if you were wanting to rotate either of these teams’ defenders.

Tomkins or Demel?
