FanDuel

Introducing the FanDuel Social League

This month we have teamed up with FanDuel to launch a free to enter league, spanning the next four Gameweeks.

This marks a departure from FanDuel’s usual weekly and daily game setup to offer a distinct league format over a number of Gameweeks.

There will be a range of prizes for the highest scores each Gameweek as well as for the best overall scorers.

In total, there are £200 in Amazon vouchers and £250 in FanDuel credit up for grabs in what looks to be compelling mid-season add-on, particularly for those currently treading water with their Fantasy Premier League line-ups.

Existing FanDuel customers, as well as those new to the game, are free to take part, although it is worth noting that this is only available to UK-based customers.

In addition, for new customers that register for the league, FanDuel are giving away a free £5 credit, which can be accessed by using the promocode SCOUTFIVER when signing up via this link.

If you’re building a FanDuel lineup for the first time we recommend taking a look at our strategy guide that examines which players to target in the various positions.

Getting Started

Click here and pick you FanDuel lineup for Gameweek 22’s matches.

Once you’re lineup is complete, you will either need to register an account or log in.

If you’re registering for the first time, Don’t forget to use the promocode “SCOUTFIVER” to claim your free credit.

Once your lineup is entered you can log back in and edit it, right up until the kick-off in the first match, using this link.

Managing Your Lineup

Each week in our FanDuel Focus article we will be providing a link to the current table of scores before publishing the new link required to select your next Gameweek lineup.

We will also be using our Twitter and Facebook pages to share these links.

Schedule and prizes

The competition takes place over Gameweek 22 – Gameweek 25, with the deadline for entries set at 12:30pm Saturday January 21.

Each Gameweek, the top scoring manager will receive a £25 Amazon voucher and each of the top five highest scorers will get a £10 FanDuel credit.

The overall league score will be measured by combining your top three Gameweek scores over the four set of fixtures.

The overall prizes are:

First place – £50 Amazon voucher, £50 FanDuel credit

Second place – £30 Amazon voucher, £30 FanDuel credit

Third place – £20 Amazon voucher, £20 FanDuel credit

Fourth place – £10 FanDuel credit

Fifth – tenth place – £5 FanDuel credit

    Chances of Coutinho rising again before the weekend?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      85%+ chance of happening

        Thanks mate

        More likely than not. At the current rate not quite but he's going about 15% a day (conservative) for 4 days and is at about 30% tonight. Fair to say it will speed up close to the deadline so he will be very close or just over 90-110%

      Hart getting battered and finally concedes.
      2-1 Torino vs AC milan with 35 minutes left.

      Alonso to walker or rose after hull game? Fixtures turn bit nasty

        Keep

      2. diesel001

        Keep, especially if you bought him cheap. Won't be able to buy him back when fixtures turn good again.

        Keep him until the double gameweeks surely.

        I want to keep but I'm thinking I might need to upgrade lallana soon have a look at my team and tell me what u think

        Heaton jaku
        Alonso Valencia chambers ake love

          Why upgrade Lallana ?
          Downgrade him to Pedro/Antonio and Upgrade Ake.

      Baines rising tonight....hmmmm

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        FFFix and FPL Stats don't seem in sync. He's a fair way off on FFix - as is Lukaku. Both look to be going up according to FPL Stats.

        1. A.T
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Which is best at the mo?

          1. Pasqualinho
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            I'm afraid I don't know - didn't watch closely last night. I was hoping someone would, though.

        2. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          stats is carp at the moment, Hazard was about 100.4 to go down last night. And the accuracy stats are about as reliable too.

          1. Pasqualinho
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Looks like Fix may be factoring wildcards in then, whereas Stats may not be.

            1. Annie
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Maybe. I've been looking at FPL and in the last hour more people have transferred in Hazard than out, yet the % has dropped further....

    6. Pauntley
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Is this attack balanced enough or too much Arsenal and Spurs?

      Sanchez, Alli, Erikson, Phillips
      Ibra, Kane, Giroud

      1. bojack
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        It's got points written all over it.

        Ideally you'd want some Chelsea for Hull at home but the two fixtures after that aren't attractive attacking wise.

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Provided Giroud is fit then quality.

      3. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I have the same Ars and Spurs. They should serve well until blank gws.

        1. Pauntley
          • 7 Years

          Thanks for feedback!

        BOOM! Perfect attack for this weekend

      5. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I've same attack except i have Firmino instead of Erikssen.

        Hoping for points

    7. Bolasie
      • 11 Years

      Benteke to Lukaku for a free?
      Must do it tonight

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        The easiest transfer u will ever make

      Why do people who are getting married think guests will be happy for proceedings to begin at 11am, move 20 miles down the road at 1pm, and then back again for an evening do starting at 7.

      It seems rationality goes out of the window.

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Probably a cost thing. Depends really.

        Mine will all be in the same place from start to finish.

        1. bojack
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Sounds like a much better plan.

      2. Pulp Minion
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        People who are getting married don't do "rationality" .. otherwise they wouldn't be getting married

        When they're paying for it all, either suck it up or don't go.

      Would rather Kane over Lukaku for Costa (if hes out) but would require a hit. Which is better from these? 1FT 0 ITB Cheers

      A. Costa -> Lukaku

    15. Winks Club
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What is the case with Nyom? Am I right when assuming that Brunt will probably be playing LB if Nyom is ruled out, and LWB if the Cameroonian is available?

      The information is quite relevant in for my decision to get in Brunt or Baines. What do you think?

      1. Winks Club
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Sorry not LWB but in the midfield

      2. Netley Lucas
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        That's probably right, if no clearance expect Brunty LB, if cleared RW.

        1. Winks Club
          • 8 Years

      Sky sources: Marseille are preparing a third bid for West Ham midfielder Dimitri Payet.

      Dimitri Payet will only leave West Ham for Marseille due to family reasons. We also understand Payet has turned down numerous offers from English and Chinese clubs.

    17. Karan14

      Chances of Philips rising tonight?

      1. SEXY SALAH

        I think not tonight but definitely by the weekend

      2. Rainer

        Wouldn't be wanting him to not if in need of the 0.1m will be close.

    18. Mr Flibble

      I've got

      Heaton, Pickford
      Holebas, VVD, Jones, Baines, Amat
      Hazard, Sanchez, Lallana. De Roon, Marney
      Ibra, Costa, Giroud

      for a -12 I can get

      Heaton, Pickford
      ALONSO, VVD, Jones, Baines, Amat
      PEDRO, Sanchez, Lallana. De Roon, STANISLAS
      Ibra, KANE, Giroud

      Feels a bit mad but I'm doing nothing this season. Worth a punt?

        Both Matip & #LFC are adamant he's fulfilled all criteria to avoid being selected & investigation would find in their favour. (James Pearce)

          Liverpool believe the evidence in Matip’s favour is so conclusive that putting him back in the team is a risk worth taking. (James Pearce)

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            He had previously retired anyway, weird why it became such a fuss all of a sudden.

            1. Somalion
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              I think the issue with Matip is he played in the AFCON qualifiers. Reasonable to see that if he made himself available for the qualifiers then he would be selected for the actual team.

              Still, it has been farcical how FIFA have handled it all.

      2. A.T
        • 13 Years

        Expulsion from FA cup? Sounds odd. What's that got to do with FIFA?

      Folks, does anyone have any updates on Barragan?

      Might have to transfer him out as I will be forced into playing Amat

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I don't think Amat will play

      2. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I think Friend is probably ahead in the pecking order now, with Fabio RB

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Boro played 3 at the back against Watford if they continue with it you'd imagine Barragan would come back into the right side of the back 3 with Fabio and Friend as wing backs.

    22. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      So now it seems that Payet is willing to take a pay cut and it is all due to family reasons that he wants to leave. If so I take back any thing I've said about it except for this one point: I still believe he went about getting this move like an absolute plonker.

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He could have just waited 4 months and gone home a hero

        1. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Yup. I still have a lot of queries and misgivings about it all tbh.

      2. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Unless WHU told him he's not leaving under any circumstances, so he chose to do this to force their hand.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years

          Which they probably did

        2. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I still think you can work with people instead of having a tantrum. To be fair, they were faced with losing their star player very shortly after he committed his future to them. If all of this is accurate, while some fans will understand, for many his reputation and everything accomplished last season is tarnished.

          1. Epic Fail
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            You're definitely right. I'm not sticking up for him, rather playing devil's advocate in seeing what the reasons could be from his side of things.

            For all we know he could have been trying to sort all of this out amicably for the last few weeks only for West Ham to keep giving him the finger. Next thing you know the transfer window is here so he has to act quick.

              Ah no I know you're not EF and you're doing a solid job at presenting a "in his shoes" perspective. It's very possible that that's the case in this situation, I definitely have misgivings about Gold and Sullivan so I could believe that sort of situation.

        ...yeah...Tevez did the same thing.

        "I don't like Manchester...want to be closer to my family"

        ...moves to Juve...further from Argentina than Manchester

        ...moves to China on 600K a week...even further from Argentina 🙂

        Payet will ride the gravy train somewhere no doubt

          Indeed. I think since the euros he feels too special to be at west hame

          It's only Marseille in for Payet though at the moment. Be funny if he winds up in China though

        Saw this the other day

        March 1997 – Harry Redknapp reveals he’s “bitter and angry “ with Slaven Bilic trying to leave West Ham: “He’s on a fantastic contract, the highest paid player in the club’s history. He signed it … Now he wants a move and feels Everton are a big club, so there’s nothing we can do.

        "West Ham are a big club in our eyes, but he feels otherwise.” Bilic: “I had to do this. We are professionals – all players know, if anyone gets the chance of a big club, he must take it.”

          Ha yes I posted it on here a couple of days ago as well 😀 Thought it was a funny old coincidence!

      If you didnt have Sanchez would you

      A) Wildcard to bring him in along with Phillips and 6 other changes

      B) just do Evans to Rose and Siggy to Philips for free

        B. If Giroud continues starting up top I wouldn't be sweating about not having Sanchez!

        I'd find a way to get him without the wc

      Do I do Ake>Baines? I have enough for Ake>Brunt and Giroud>Lukaku if Giroud out. If I let Ake drop and Costa drops I have enough for Giroud>Costa before Giroud drops. Dilemmas

      What are my priorities here do you think?

      Foster - Heaton
      Azpi - Alonso - Friend - Evans - Amat
      Haz - Sanchez - Eriksen - Phillips - Capoue
      Defoe - Ibra - Benteke

      1FT, 0.4 ITB

      Really want rid of Benteke but there's no straight swap.

        Tekkers>Carroll might be worth considering?
