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.

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

4.0 rotating defenders?! You crazy fool!
Murdock wouldn’t do that…well maybe he would because his newspaper empire is in bits and he can’t afford anything else!

Kagawa or Valencia….
July 21 at 2:26 pm
Jafooli says:
Valencia until Kagawa proves himself (which might be by GW2)….in which case make the swap and save 0.5….

valencia for the start of the season.

Valencia to begin with mate
July 21 at 2:28 pm
IfYouTinkerYou'llHaveAStinker says:
Start with the 9 mil player no point giving yourself the headache of trying to upgrade the 8.5, much easier to go from Valencia to kag if he starts smashing it

What are your thoughts on stephen ireland. Steer clear or take a punt?
July 21 at 2:26 pm
Kaz- FPL's No. 25 says:
steer clear for now, would only consider him after the int. break.
July 21 at 2:54 pm
gormdubhgorm says:
He doesn’t need an international break. He has retired for Ireland.

Jafooli says:
Okay gents, please kick this to bits……
Krul – Begovic
Cole – Lescott – Coloccini – Hangeland – Cuellar
Hazard – Valencia – Pienaar (if with Everton) – Noble – Maloney
Aguero – Torres – Graham
Cheers……
July 21 at 2:30 pm
Jonny T says:
very nice team, just missing united coverage
July 21 at 2:30 pm
Jafooli says:
Cheers Jonny…..Valencia will do for now……..but take your point…
July 21 at 2:31 pm
Kaz- FPL's No. 25 says:
valencia?
July 21 at 2:36 pm
Jonny T says:
united *defencive* coverage, sorry
July 21 at 2:41 pm
Jafooli says:
Yeah will probably look to bring in Rafael, once selection firms up, but cheers again..
July 21 at 2:43 pm
little_wizard123 says:
Similar to my team except I have De Gea and Federici (much better imo). Stephen Taylor offers much more attacking threat (should be nailed on). And I have Pog and Tevez instead of Aguero and Graham so I could afford Ben Arfa instead of Noble and I had Terry over Cole as he also offers more going forward.
July 21 at 2:26 pm

Chuck Norris says:
First year of FPL but tear me a new one on this RMT:
Begovic – Jassk
Cole – Lescott – Cuellar – Hangeland – Wilson
Hazard – Kagawa – N’Zog – Noble – Maloney
Aguero – Torres – Graham
Key notes:
1. Begovic and Jassk rotate well
2. So do Cuellar/Hangeland/Wilson
3. Tossing up between Kagawa and Valencia, gone Kagawa cos I’m a Jap
4. Hazard could become Bale by GW3
5. Have 2.0 in the bank for Torres -> Rooney in GW2
July 21 at 2:29 pm
Jafooli says:
Crikey……think we’re almost identical (apart from jass, wilson and N’zog)……see two above…
3. I went with Valencia
4. Agree as and option or Siggy
July 21 at 2:33 pm
Jafooli says:
Rank last year Chuck?
July 21 at 2:34 pm
Chuck Norris says:
If you look at the first line, it’s my first year
July 21 at 2:40 pm
Jafooli says:
oops forgot to read that….
July 21 at 2:34 pm
Chuck Norris says:
Haha, yeah very similar.
Although Colccini is a solid player, I went with Wilson since he’s nailed on and Stoke rotate better with Fulham and Sunderland. Also he’s 0.5 cheaper.
I think N’Zog can be great value under Lambert but I can see Pienaar dominate if he returns to Everton
July 21 at 2:41 pm
Jafooli says:
agreed all points and will keep an eye on Wilson and N’zog for sure….
July 21 at 2:27 pm
Round and Round says:
Demel or McCartney? Who is nailed on?
July 21 at 2:28 pm
Kaz- FPL's No. 25 says:
Demel
July 21 at 2:27 pm
Malkmus says:
A’noon all,
Good to be back. Right then, first up, A, B, C or D:
A – Terry and Osman/Pienaar (if at Everton)
C – Terry and McClean or Larsson
B – A Cole and De Guzman (or Michu)
D – A Cole and Taarabt
Cheers

Kaz- FPL's No. 25 says:
joins everton*
July 21 at 2:37 pm
Malkmus says:
Yeah, that’s what I’m leaning towards as most reliable option. Want terry for goal threat and pienaar was quality at the end of last season
July 21 at 2:29 pm
Brakus says:
B if its michu
July 21 at 2:34 pm
Malkmus says:
Cheers, I don’t know a lot about michu. It sounds its more likely he’ll be in the siggy role than de guzman. Need to wait for more pre season games really, but don’t have the patience and want to get my team sorted now!
July 21 at 2:31 pm

Good afternoon folks. Is my midfield too weak? Other thoughts? Many thanks
DDG (Begorensen)
Clichy Vert Hangeland
Sinclair Bale Hazard Noble (Frei)
Pog Aguero Torres
2.0 en el banco.
July 21 at 2:33 pm
Manani says:
midfield is cool
July 21 at 2:35 pm
rulocal says:
cheers. It does depend somewhat on Dempsey. If he stays I will probably have to rethink.
July 21 at 2:33 pm
rulocal says:
* defensive subs are Demel/Tierney (rotate well)
July 21 at 2:36 pm
Jonah Takalua says:
Apart from 1 week and if you go on opponent alone rather than home/away Federici and Jussi rotate quite well for the whole season I think
July 21 at 3:12 pm
Daniel - Chelsea champions says:
Great news I am gonna have Jask too
July 21 at 2:37 pm
Manani says:
anyone have a 480p or better stream for united’s match?
July 21 at 2:37 pm
Jafooli says:
Pienaar….my guess he will only go back to Everton at Xmas if there is daylight between Spurs and the Toffees…..why would Spurs want to potentially allow a very influential player compete for a competitor?
July 21 at 2:43 pm
Tommytour59 says:
I dont think Spurs see Everton as major rivals anymore they have progressed, Chelsea and Arsenal are the competition.

July 21 at 2:39 pm
Jafooli says:
Not a great fan of this Chelsea DGW to kick the season off…….putting way to much effort into trying to accommodate 3 x Chelsea…
July 21 at 2:46 pm
Drinky - Jong De Walkerfront says:
Stop getting stressed, crack open a bottle or two, chill out and just get two… Sorted
July 21 at 2:48 pm
Jafooli says:
ha, yeah maybe too much emphasis on the ‘way to much effort’……actually very little effort at all……just prone to exaggeration….
…..already on my fifth bottle of wine….
July 21 at 2:41 pm
ThAnAssy says:
RMT
Friedel Jaas
Jones Lescott Taylor S Hooiveld
VDV Gerrard Ben Arfa Park Noble
Torres Rooney Pogrebnyak
My team so far pre-preseason
Not sure about my defensive and goalkeeper choices…
July 21 at 2:41 pm
ThAnAssy says:
Also Nelson in def
July 21 at 2:45 pm
Otis Kay says:
id deffo get in Aguero first gameweek, hes gonna rip Southampton to pieces and you dont want to fall behind early on!
VDV and Jones gonna play?
Ben Arfa and Stevie G have tough fixtures!
July 21 at 2:46 pm
Dr Heckle says:
Don’t like VDV, Gerrard or Park. Money could be spent better. Jones also prone to a lot of rotation.
July 21 at 2:49 pm
torres love says:
a different team than the RMTs i’ve seen here. i like it. a couple of tough fixtures for your midfield but other than its a great team.
July 21 at 2:43 pm
joe90 says:
After endless tinkering I think I’ve finally got it:
Vorm (Jaaskelainen)
Lescott, Cahill, Rangel (Barnett)( O’Brien)
Yaya Toure, Kagawa, Hazard, Fellaini (Noble)
Pog, Aguero, Torres
July 21 at 2:44 pm
Malkmus says:
By the way is anyone else tempted by going for DDG and non-playing 4m keeper? Would increase funds but I guess lindegaard is bound to get some epl games this year, but I expect it to be less now that ddg has settled in and ended the season well.
July 21 at 2:44 pm
Otis Kay says:
People’s thoughts?
Federici – (Friedel)
Clichy – aCole – rFerdinand – (Demel) – (Fonte)
Hazard (c) Lampard – Noble – Mcanuff – (El Ahmadi)
Aguero – Rooney – Djib.Cisse
GW2 –> Lamps –> Siggy/VDV
July 21 at 2:49 pm
Otis Kay says:
someone help please?
July 21 at 2:44 pm
King Cabbage says:
Federici, anyone?
July 21 at 2:46 pm
King Cabbage says:
Thinking him and Jaask
July 21 at 2:46 pm
Otis Kay says:
Federici and Friedel!
July 21 at 2:57 pm
King Cabbage says:
You could be right there pal.
July 21 at 2:44 pm
The Parmtree says:
Still struggling to fit in Bale….
Friedel, Federici.
Clichy, Terry, Hangeland, Wilson, Turner.
Hazard, £8.0m, Taarabt, Noble, Maloney.
Rooney, Aguero, Graham.
July 21 at 2:47 pm
Nitin Nagaraja: PS3 or Xbox? Need some opinions. says:
Terry > Cashley
Hangeland > Hughes
Hazard > Lampard
and Bale.
July 21 at 2:48 pm
Otis Kay says:
^^ i agree ^^
July 21 at 2:48 pm
Nitin Nagaraja: PS3 or Xbox? Need some opinions. says:
Or as TommyTour suggested, keep Hazard and do Wilson > Demel.
July 21 at 2:48 pm
The Parmtree says:
Tah, but no Frank for me…
July 21 at 2:48 pm
Tommytour59 says:
Hey Parm jumped on my Friedel/Fed bandwagon, wait till I post my line up
Terry > Cole 0.5m
Wilson > Demel 0.5m
Good luck with the final 0.5m
July 21 at 2:52 pm
The Parmtree says:
Proving pretty difficult…
July 21 at 3:07 pm
Round and Round says:
Aguero -> Tevez
Bale
Clichy -> Lescott
Friedel -> De Gea
July 21 at 2:46 pm
Tommytour59 says:
So many non gravs about and still the only one that gets my attention is Ronh
July 21 at 2:47 pm
Dr Heckle says:
I read out all of Ronh’s posts in the voice of Cartman from South Park. Keeps me amused.
July 21 at 2:46 pm
The Wizard of Osman says:
What are peoples thoughts on gibbs? Will he start or whats the likely gunners back 4?
July 21 at 2:50 pm
Tommytour59 says:
Yes he should start but Santos will get some game time.
