PlayON – £5,000 Guaranteed Pot For Gameweek 4

As you may know, we’re supporting PlayON as our weekly Fantasy Football pursuit this season. With the international break upon us, these guys have decided to spice things up in their part of the world, putting no less than £5,000 guaranteed in a Gameweek 4 prize pot for a £5 entry.

At present, the prize pot stands at a cool £1,000 guaranteed but, once the game hits 500 entrants, they will raise it to £5,000. To make that happen, PlayON have put a deadline in place of Sunday evening at 10pm to get those 500 players on board.

Here are Fantasy Football Scout, we’re very happy to get the word out and help get that pot in place so that hopefully a member of our community can grab their share of the potential prize.

If you’ve yet to try out PlayON, this is a superb opportunity to get involved.

As there are no fixtures this weekend, you’ve got time to register and get tinkering with a starting XI. With the new transfer window players added, there’s also every chance you can snaffle several bargains and assemble a rather decent squad – Mesut Ozil at 9.6m or Erik Lamela for 6.2m, anyone?

Rest assured, you only need to register a provisional team and enter the game by 10pm on Sunday. You can continue to tinker with your team right up to the first kick-off on Saturday September 14, when United entertain Palace at 12.45pm.

You’ll find a full strategy guide to the game right here, offering tips that we’ve gathered over our experiences with the game. We’ll also be following up with specific player picks for Gameweek 4 next week so keep ‘em peeled for that.

In the meantime, get involved and spread the word on this to help populate the game and ensure that PlayON deliver on their £5,000 prize promise. Remember – there needs to be 500 players in the “£1000 Guaranteed” game by Sunday 10pm for the £5,000 prize pot to be triggered.

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

    Can you make more than one team? If not then it could be pointless entering into other games because you would be up against the same team as in another game. If that's the case i will enter in a big pot once a week.

      Not sure I get your drift - you can enter a team into as many games as you like. I'm rubbish at picking when to back my team with loads of entrants - last week I went mad and came nowhere, the week before I had a good team and only entered a couple of games.

    Just a bit for the many scouts I've seen asking. (repost)

    For those considering getting rid of Coutinho, beware.
    As we know he'll probably move to the middle next week. This is by far his favoured position and he's been judged so far on his performances out wide. Yes, I think he could have done a little better so far but much like Sturridge when he was out of position for Chelsea, he doesn't really shine as much or show is true potential.
    With his fixtures coming up expect to see a flurry of points:
    swa-SOT-sun-CPL-new-WBA
    Disclaimer: Sturridge should be fine, but if he's not, this will onviouslt affect Couts.

      I have a nine-point-something spot in my midfield - and Couts is on the short list. But I think I'm going to see how his performance improves if he's moved inside. If he can do it away at Swansea then he can probably do it anywhere.

    Ok. Who to pick (& why) please. 14 out of 15 settled. Basically the choice comes down to :
    Cahill - the only CB who Mourinho has played in every competitive game thus far
    Terry - the club captain
    Mertesacker - crap but good fixtures and BP magnet
    Koscielny - .1 cheaper than Mert but better player

    Defence is De Gea, 4.0, Walker, Sakho, Coleman & Chester.

    We all know Chelsea's defence is better so I guess that's not really the question.......more ; IS the rotation threat which applies to Chelsea worth risking (bearing in mind that the defence is pretty strong already) over Arsenal's better fixtures ?

    Any thoughts, as ever, greatly appreciated.

      I am in a similar position and still not undecided myself. Fixtures say back Arsenal, the Mourinho effect says back Chelsea. Thanks for pointing out Koscielny is 0.1 cheaper - hadn't noticed that.

      I think I will probably end up with an Arsenal defender due to fixtures & greater security of starts.

    I have transferred in Oscar for Coutinho... is Oscar nailed on and will he play in an attacking position?

      Oscar's a doubt with an ankle strain bud

        Might be worth waiting before you do that.

    Surridge or Benteke for FPL? (alongside RVP and Giroud)

    UTDs defence seems cheap in Playon, I've gone for all UTD defenders including a punt on Rafael! Palace had better not get any funny ideas about scoring

        Hello mate - Me and thee have a different battle on our hands this season then 🙂 Race you to the top 500,000

        Yeah I guess so, Sturridge is looking great though providing he's fit. Coin toss really, prob should play it safe go for the higher owner player considering my start

    Anyone want to talk low-budget options...

    Gedo- McCarthy- WardP- Barkley

    I'm hoping to have two out of the four. Is Barkley pretty much bench fodder with the new arrivals?

    Ward-P has to keep his place, right? He's on corners and long freekicks, strikes a deadball like a little genius.

    Gedo is a boss, great player, looks like the best of the strikers lower than 7, and 5.5 is a real bargain, no?

    Why is Chambers not nailed on?

    Far better than Clyne, has the trust of the manager as well.
