Sky Sports Focus – Fantasy Football Scout League Details

As we mentioned yesterday, the Sky Sports Fantasy Football game is now up and running ahead of the 2015/16 campaign.

After winning top spot in the League of Leagues for the past three seasons, we’re looking to defend our crown once again and hope to make it four times running this year.

For those playing the Sky Sports game, we’ve set up an official Fantasy Football Scout league – the name is FFScout and the pin number to join is 8009000.

Last season, we handed over a cool £1,000 to the Fantasy manager who finished at the summit of the Scout league and hope to offer prizes once again this year – which should be incentive enough to assemble a team and get involved.

Over the next few days, we’ll be rolling out Player Price List analysis articles, breaking down the options position by position and offering insight into each player’s potential.

Once the season gets underway, we’ll be bringing you hints and tips in our weekly Friday afternoon “Sky Sports Focus” articles, analysing the market trends and looking at transfer tactics for the Gameweek ahead.

Our regular contributor d1sable will again be at the helm to offer his expert advice – he’ll be looking for yet another top 100 finish after a storming end to the previous campaign.

We’ve set up a new community article to exclusively deal with Sky Sports Fantasy teams. Those looking to get involved with the discussion should click this link.

    Pelle or Rodriguez?

      Pelle

        J. Ro, for me.

    4. sully29

      Still ruminating ...

    6. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Thinking of Pelle instead of Lukaku

    7. ronmadpirlo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Very mixed response, thanks all. I have J Rod at the moment but also have 1 mill in the bank. Tough call.

  2. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Cedric or Alderweireld? Spurs have the better fixtures after GW1.

    1. ronmadpirlo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Saints first 5 fixtures are very good as well. I trust Saints defence over Spurs defence even with the changes.

      1. luke25
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        hmm, 3/4 of their back four have either gone or injured, not too sure on Saints defence just yet

        1. ronmadpirlo
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I think their defensive level will drop a little bit but the gap between them and Spurs was quite wide

    Pretty happy with my team, just struggling to decide these last few slots:

    A: Lukaku + £6.5m Mid and Williams
    B: Sakho + £7.0m Mid and Koscielny
    C: Deeney + £8.0m Mid and Koscielny
    D: Deeney + £9.0m Mid and Williams

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. The Mighty Whites
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Don - Try stretch 0.5 and go for C with an 8.5 mid?

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

      Like A myself will be getting rid of lukaku 4 Kane gw2

      C or B, imo.

      I have Sakho + Payet

    6. Judas

      very tough call :/

      B

    8. Zizoulicious
      • 8 Years

    fpl "newbie" tips: never spend too much on gk and def

    recommended budget for

    gk - max 9.5m
    def - max 26m

    tips brought to you by me, the "newbie" 😀

      If I was a newbie I wouldn't be on here.

      May I cordially disagree with this? In fact, like Charidee, I think it's bunk! 😉

    3. ronmadpirlo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      MY defence is currently 26.5 mill

      1. I am 42
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        let me guess

        7 5.5 5 4.5 4.5

        1. ronmadpirlo

          yep

        Same

    4. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I think you're still spending too much on both (!)

      1. I am 42
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        how can you spend too much when its MAX?

    5. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      If I spend on keepers I always end up robbing the value for a mid or fwd within the first month anyway. I've stopped kidding myself that I won't.

    Just done a 7 way rotation ( 1 anchor of Chelsea Def) to find out what is the most effective/efficient GK/Def partnership for the 1st 8 weeks. The final results are based on price/points per game/ difficulty of opposition/ home record and away record last season and the best possible Home/away rotation.

    GK:
    LEICTER: S'land H, 2 3 , B;mouth A, Villa H, 6 , Arsenal H, 8
    S'LAND : 1 Norwich H, Swansea H, 4 5 B'mouth A, 7 Wham H

    DEF: (Assuming Chelsea Anchor)
    Chelsea: Swan H, City A, WBA A, Palace H, Everton A, Arsenal H, Newc A, S'hamp H
    Lpool : 1 , B'mouth H, 3 , Wham H, Norwich H, Villa H, 8
    Bmouth: Villa H, 2, 3 Leicter H, 5 S'land H, 7 Watford H
    W ham : 1 , Leicter H, Bmouth H , 4 Newc H, 6 Norwich H, 8
    Norwich: Palace H, 2 Stoke H, 4 B'mouth H, 6 7 Leicter H

    That's a pretty back 7 for the starting 8 games

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      You think Liverpool will keep clean sheets? They are always airing dirty laundry these days...

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Most chosen defenders (Chelsea and Livepool) so used that as template. B'mouth H, W ham H, Norwich, Villa H are pretty good Home games. I think if they cant keep out 3/4 here they got no hope.

        1. Huesca
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Great research! But what are your plans for after GW8? Pick the in-form players through WC?

          1. gaurava1216
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Sometime between GW 9-12 will be using wild card. Will try and make as few changes to the back line for 8 weeks. Rather save my transfers for in form midfielders, or drastic moves where I need to take a hit to bring in an Aguero/Sanchez or whoever it may be

  7. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Hennessey close to join Palace or not?

    Need him badly to go there, so I can make this team: http://prntscr.com/7t000s

    1. Parm
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I presume you mean West Brom? And yes.

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I also don't like your team, mainly because I don't like 3-5-2.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          4-4-2? 😀

      2. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, to WBA. Mistake.

        I prefer 3-5-2 this season. Plenty of great mids, and not so much strikers.

        1. Tiggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I have a soft spot for 3-5-2. I generally flick between it and 3-4-3 all season though (unless I've ballsed up so much I need four at the back).

    2. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      4.0m for 10-15 clean sheets. Not bad

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Is he on way to WBA?

    3. ronmadpirlo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Myhill was very good last season though...

  8. ga92
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    How about this squad?

    Mignolet, Speroni
    Ivanovic, Cedric, Morgan, O'Shea, Turner
    Silva, Larsson, Wanyama, Henderson, Hazard
    Costa, Giroud, Wilson

    1.5 in bank

  9. Ziro Becomes One
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Right. Have stuck Walcott in there.

    Now, nobody on this site is allowed to make negative comments about Walcott anymore.

    1. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Good on you

    2. Boris Bodega

      Tell me about it !

  10. Emile Le Tissier
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Delafeou anyone?

    1. Zizoulicious
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      one to watch I think. Trouble is martinez like to rotate, so everton midfielders don't seem to make good
      FPL players

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Had Barkley last year was not regular starter. Coleman, Lukaku are only Everton ones I would pick.

      2. Boris Bodega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        No Europa League this year though.

    2. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Everton have a lot of players that can play in his position I believe. I would imagine he has been assured starts.

  11. Zizoulicious
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Best 4.5 goalkeeper for the first month or so? Not looking to rotate, so are there any 4.0 goalkeepers that might be playing?

    1. Doolittle
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Hennessey.

      1. Zizoulicious
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        ahh good shout. So maybe henessy + myhill together? I guess it depends on how long foster is out for though

        1. Norfolk&Chance
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          bingo.

        2. Doolittle
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah that would only work with a pre-October WC/if you don't mind using a FT on a keeper. I'm on Panti and Hennessey, but that's obviously more expensive than you're looking for.

          1. ronmadpirlo
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            How do you know Hennessey will be ahead of Myhill?

            1. Doolittle
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              I don't, but I'm pretty sure he's moving because he's 2nd choice at the moment.

              1. ronmadpirlo
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Myhill was very good though wasn't he? If a big reputation GK came in I would expect him to replace Myhill, but I would say Hennessey and Myhill have a similar reputation.

          2. Zizoulicious
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Wildcard will probably be used for aguero week 4, so will take a free transfer. Looking to keep 1.0 in the bank for sakho week 2 which means a cheap keeper combo

  12. Demious
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    RMT please...

    Myhill
    Ivan - Morgan -Yoshida
    Hazard - Carzola - Sigurdson - Schwein - Milner
    Kane - Costa

    Stekelen - Senderos - Gharam - Simpson

    1. Emile Le Tissier
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Kane overpriced.

      Downgrade to Benteke and Upgrade Schweinsteiger (constantly injured Defensive Mid at his age) to the mystical 8.5m mid range.

      1. Demious

  13. Weird Beard FC

    What do you think:

    Loris

    Alderweireld, Ivanovic, Clyne

    Schneiderlin, Firmino, Depay, Hazard, Cabaye

    Costa, Benteke

    Bench: Deeney, Mariappa, Baker & Hamer.

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

          • 9 Years

    3. I am 42

    4. Zizoulicious
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      liverpool have a lot of midfield options. Is firmino a definite starter?

      1. Weird Beard FC
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        It was a toss up between him and Couthinio i was unsure which way to go....

        1. Zizoulicious
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          hendo is appealing at 7.0 and on pens and maybe free kicks

      2. Boris Bodega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Only Brendan knows, I hope so.

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Main worry is the Europa League but that doesn't start for a while yet right?

      1. The Sarjeant
        • 10 Years

        Europa League won't affect anything for a good while.

        • 10 Years

        They both have impressive stats from last season. Might come down to that all important £1m saved though...

            Definitely doable but as you said it doesn't give flexibility. Back to the drawing board!

    Just a quick heads up in case y'all didn't know - please feel free to use the flag button under posts to highlight both good and bad posts - it's not just there to report things that shouldn't be posted 🙂

    For example if you think a post should be stickied or hot topic'd go ahead and flag it and let us know why (just don't abuse it!)

        Yeah someone else flagged a post to me on Twitter earlier and wasn't aware of the flag option being used for both positive and negative reasons so thought I'd mention it.

          I always see things in the DZ that are really good, and think I'll see that as a hot topic later on in the day, and they never do. I don't know whether you guys didn't like it or missed it. But I shall definitely be flagging up a lot of stuff!

            There's usually a lot of posts even in the dead zone so hard to go through it all. Best bet is to flag really good stuff you see, it's something I did before becoming mod and got posts noticed a lot easier.

            The team on the left rotates with the teams on the right.

              Doosra do you by any chance have any good 4 way rotation strategy. I'm looking surrounding Ivan with a harem of 4.5m defenders as there are so many good options in that price range.

                Palace, Sunderland, Bournemouth Leicester

                Perfect

                  Ah cheers. I'll look into it.

                  I already have Coates, Francis and Morgan so was pretty much there by luck it would seem. Looks like its time for Ward to visit my team as well.

                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    I spotted this the other day BOU/CPL and LEI/SUN are pretty good rotations so it's more of 2 2 ways rather than a 4 way

                    You just have to chose between Rooney and Silva in GW4

                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    Palace have a playable defender 3, 7-9, 13 and 14 from the early fixtures. That'll do...far better than Newcastle - which I had before.

                      8 years, 10 months ago

                      yup

                      it's very good if you want Hazard and Kun with Ivan

                    • 12 Years
                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    SUN/BOU/LEI is the best cheap 3 way out there, so it's easy to add to

                • 12 Years

                I've been researching this to find ways to make it possible to have Hazard/Aguero/Ivan and one of Silva or Rooney

                    very, you just have to take Deeney or Wilson as your 3rd striker and have a 3rd and 4th mid for a total of no more than 12.5

                Jonty?

                Ivanovic, Morgan & Rangel, Francis & Prödl?

                  cheers,

                  I'm not sure Rangel is guaranteed to start.

                  Angella looks a better bet for Watford according to a good community article we have on them tomorrow. Prodl faces competition if they go four at the back, but is safer if they go with three at the back. Lots of ifs and buts.

                  I'm not sure Swansea go well with that but Angella could be good.

                  Watford Lei Sun Bou could be something to consider

                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    Well, I won't be starting with Angella anytime soon.

                    Swansea minutes:

                    Williams 3330
                    Taylor 2998
                    Fernandez2475
                    Rangel 2036 with a red, a yellow and an injury.

                      Naughton took his place.

                      Taylor Williams Fernandez Naughton first choice. Rangel as back up.

                        Sorry - tea!

                        I can't see that, myself. Naughton was ordinary, to say the least. I think that there were politics. I expect that to be sorted out ...

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Yup.

          Mata is a good pick but only keep Lukaku for 1 GW.

      Too punty. JRod, Depay, Payet... and Walcott may not last long if form doesn't go his way.

    Is Wanyama the best option for 5th midfielder? Only played 2360 minutes last year, compared to others who played late 2000, early 3000...

      do you need him to play or hold value?

      if hold value grab those

      Going with Anya at this tme

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Think Anya will play a lot?

    3. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yup. However, for a fifth you would want to have someone who holds value so with all the casuals owning Wanyama they may abandon ship when he gets a consecutive 2 points so he may drop in price.

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Who you reckon then, Every Dog?

        1. Every Dog Has Its Day
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Fletcher

      2. Pasqualinho
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Sometimes it's more secure to have the highly owed players in this bracket, though. Dead teams don't transfer.

    4. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      May be wrong but didn't wanyama go to afcon? Would've impacted quite a bit on his minutes played

  25. Every Dog Has Its Day

    Am I correct in saying that Koscielny is the most nailed on Arsenal defender whilst the others are at serious risk of being rotated?

    Mertsacker/Gabriel
    Bellerin/Debuchy/Chambers
    Gibbs/Monreal

    1. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      imo AW dont rotate player so...

    2. ronmadpirlo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Mert is nailed

      1. Doolittle
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        No he isn't, Gabriel isn't going to just sit on the bench all season, he cost them £11-12m.

        1. Bauerhaus 24
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah, I mean look at Chambers, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Welbeck and Monreal... Oh wait 😉

          1. Doolittle
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            None of those players sit on the bench all season, Monreal starts almost every game! Mertesacker will not start every game when fit, Gabriel will get chances. "Nailed" means starting every game possible.

            1. Bauerhaus 24
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Ah ok got you - in that case I agree, Gabriel will clearly get some gametime... but I still think Mert is first choice

            2. ronmadpirlo
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              gametime in cups. btw 11-12 mill for a first choice backup CB in a top 4 team is pretty standard

        2. ronmadpirlo
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Mertesacker is a better player. Gabriel will get games in the cups

    3. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes you are correct.

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Kos risk is he is a bit brittle

    OK can I have a vote please:
    a) Mata
    b) Cazorla

    To those that have planned to include Kun:

    How many weeks must Pellegrini say he'll miss for you to go without him? Keep in mind that he has Chelsea in GW2.

    1. Doolittle
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      1, I'm not going to start with a player that won't play. I'd get Costa and leave a couple of million in the bank.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'm in the 1 camp but I'd start with Costa and upgrade Ritchie, meaning I'd need 2FT for a change back. I think I can risk that with Chelsea in GW2.

        1. Doolittle
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah, that's another option. Basically, if he is ruled out of GW1 he's out of my team. I'm not going into a season with Victor Wanyama/Darren Fletcher in the side and 13m on the bench.

          1. Lucy.
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            😆 Agreed, as lovely as Big Vic is.

      If he misses the first game (likely). Would you, as a manager throw him into the fire against Chelsea? I say he sits the first two and wins the golden boot.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        OR the manager desperately needs him vs Chelsea, rushes him back and he blanks.

    4. Zizoulicious
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Whatever Pellegrini says, I will give him 3/4 weeks to warm up before taking the plunge

      More than 2. One is definitely fine.

      I think if he won't start GW1 I think you can risk it till GW4

      It's just what strategy you take to get him

      do you make him your only big striker
      do you perhaps get a Cabaye type 3rd mid and keep Costa or Rooney
      do you lose your Chelsea defender

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'd be going for option B, keeping in mind that by GW4, a cheaper bandwagon is likely to have reared its head.

        If not fit:
        I'd go Kun -> Costa (already have Rooney pencilled in)
        Sakho -> Wilson
        Ritchie -> Yaya
        Cedric -> Darmian

        Then monitor who was doing well from midfielders 6-6.5 or below. So that when Kun was fit, I could dump Rooney or Costa and whichever of my 3 8.5s (currently Mata/Yaya/Ramsey) to a 6-6.5 and Aguero 😀

        Overthought this? I think not. 😉

        1. Lucy.
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Obviously those first 4 changes are to my current GW1 team, not a crazy number of hits 😉

        2. ronmadpirlo
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Overthinking is a myth

      2. ronmadpirlo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I would agree but GW3 his price will start rising so that is worth considering

    7. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I fell into the trap of getting him straight back in after last season's injury and (c) him....so I'm a bit iffy on him right now.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah he does burn people ever so occasionally.

    8. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      One. I am happy to play/captain him against Chelsea

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Oh of course you'd be happy to play him but he'd be unlikely to really burn non-owners.

  29. Zizoulicious
    • 8 Years

    Nearly completed the jigsaw. final piece could be moreno or cedric or alderweireld? I think moreno might offer more attacking potential but is he a definite starter?

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Depay - I've gone Toby. Has some nice fixtures after GW1 compared to Moreno's terrible away matches.

      1. Zizoulicious
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        It's just that first match away at united putting me off. Although could expect a slow start again from LVG
