The Fantasy Football Scout Survey

With the weekend FA Cup matches providing another break in proceedings, we’re taking this opportunity to launch the Fantasy Football Scout survey.

This is long overdue.

While we’ve gathered some feedback in previous years, it was actually way back in 2010 when we last carried out a full survey of our readership and so much has changed since then.

We’ve tried to keep the 2017 iteration as brief as possible, while canvasing you on your views on the site, your likes and dislikes, your Fantasy Football habits and also a bit of background about you.

This feedback will provide us with a vital first step in shaping the future of the site. We’re currently in the process of restructuring the team and this involves hiring a full-time developer to work with Ed on taking the site forward.

We intend to open this up to our readers, using the survey to help schedule our priorities but coming to you to finalise our list of tasks. Crucially, once we’re underway, we want to report back regularly on progress and the changes to the roadmap.

Your input on this survey is a crucial first step. We hope you’ll take time to answer our questions and, where applicable, leave comments and feedback.

We will likely be leaving the survey open for up to a month and then, hopefully, we will get the opportunity to share the results and how this has impacted on our thinking for future development.

As an added incentive, those who complete the survey in full will have the opportunity to enter a draw to win a £100 Amazon voucher.

Click here to take the survey.

Thanks for your feedback.

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

    Alexis is a useless pen taker.

  2. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez is a terrible penalty taker, really living a charmed life 😀

    1-1 both games.

    I bet he's been practicing that in training...

  5. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Did he miss or did he score?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Missed, did very well to score after.

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        From the rebound?

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Missed, didn't even get the rebound.. it found its way to him afterwards 🙂

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Aah. Thanks.

      2. afcblegend
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        'found it's way' somewhat downplays his skill to score after his air kick

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Found Utd way to him, nothing to do with the finish

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Found it's.. weird autocorrect

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez will be off pens no doubt- bad for FPL owners

  6. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    sanchez still on pens after tonight?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Wenger would be the only manager to leave him on them.

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No- Gru or Ozil I would bet

  7. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Lots of point swings in a matter of seconds...
    - Lewandowski conceded pen
    - Sanchez missed pen
    - Neuer save pen points
    - Sanchez goal
    - Bayern defenders clean sheet gone

  8. BALOOO
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    This was never a pen, terrible decision from ref....

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      looked pretty clearcut... missed the ball, kicked Kos

    2. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Was a clear pen
      Kicked his foot since he didn't see Kos steal it off him, unlucky foul but it's a penalty alright .

  9. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Sanchez yc

  10. Bazzalona
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Giroud takes a decent pen.
    Ironic.

  11. Sponge-worthy
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Martinez lol

  12. afcblegend
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Seriously though where would Arsenal be without Sanchez this season. He is the only player that ever seems interested

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Where would every team be without their best player? 😆

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Liverpool would be in the bottom three without Lovren

        1. fedolefan
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I wanted this to be funny. Liverpool, Lovren, best player talk but it's meh.

        2. AverageJoe
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          You mean Clyne

      2. afcblegend
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Arsenal are a little more reliant on Sanchez than City are on Aguero...

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Next to Sunderland without Defoe.

    3. AverageJoe
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Walcott is quality when he plays

    4. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years

      Best player in the league

  14. John wick

    Is sanchez off pens now

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Doubt it. None of their players can hit a pen to save their life

    2. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, 100% confirmed by Wenger during the match.

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No.

    4. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      How would we know if he is off pens ?

      1. mad_beer ✅
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Crystal ball broken?

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I use a magic 8 ball ? . It's like you don't know me at all 😡

    5. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hew ought to be but I hope not for FPL sake. But he is rubbish .... he'd be better off doing a Geoff Hurst - running in hard for 10 yards and thrashing it. (cf Vardy last year)

    6. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If Giroud is on the pitch. Can't understand how Alexis can only do panenka penalties, everything else he tries is an easy save for gk.

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Think hes an instinctual player. Given too much time to think about things he fluffs it

    7. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I think Giroud and Walcott are still ahead in the pecking order. They were both off the pitch vs Hull which is why Sanchez took it.

  15. Sess!
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Went Sanchez first goalscorer in the bet365 free bet. He would get the second goal wouldn't he. Should have gone anytime.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I did the same Sess. Such a shame. Would have been a nice £500 had his been the first goal.

      Imagine watching him miss the pen and then to get it after. Would have been amazing.

      1. Sess!
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I know, 10/1 was too good to ignore. Imagine anytime would have still been around 2/1 or 3/1. Kicking myself but hindsight and all that.

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          To be honest I'm not kickin myself. With a risk free bet, Sanchez FGS @10/1 is too good value against any team in the world. Far too good to miss out on as it could easily have come in.

          1. Sess!
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah you're right. Had to be done. It was your post earlier today that put me onto it 🙂

            1. Smurf
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Apologies.

              1. Sess!
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                No need to apologise. Looked great value like you say 🙂 I'd have only lost otherwise.

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I was on sanchez brace for about 20 mins then thought not possible for them to score 2 . 20/1 . Hoping it doesn't come in.

      1. Sess!
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I hope it doesn't either mate. That would have been monster!

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          My own fault if it does. Should never change your mind or you asking for it eh

  16. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Play Reid or take a -4 for Sanchez to Hazard?

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Play Reid- bench Sanchez

  17. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Catch up TV update.....Moorside....

    Karen Matthews has been taken to the police station and Shannon Matthews has been taken into care. Meanwhile Child Porn has been found on Craig's computer so he's right in the poo.

    Grrrrrr....

  18. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal with 43 passes in the game sofar. Playing like Leicester.

  19. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    As good as sanchez is .he is annoyingly lucky

    1. Sess!
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Argument you make your own luck

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Somthing I've always disagreed massively with

    2. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He kept calm after the miss, got the ball under control and put it in.

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

      Yeah like how he was booked for Martinez diving.

    4. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      An awful lot of lucky goals fall to the most wide awake players. It's the same at professional level as it is at my lowly Junior footy level. They're just ready for it.

  20. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    ADVICE. Can field a good 11 this gw but I'm just thinking about whether another hit would be in order as I'm dead set on having Mawson and Jaku for gameweek 28. Anyway options.

    A) Carroll for Jesus -4 (wait for pressers)
    B) Jaku for Grant -4
    C) Do nothing, Play Heaton and have Grant for Middlesborough (27)

    Team is:
    Heaton (Grant)
    Baines Brunt Alonso Coleman (Mee)
    Alli Siggy Morrison Mane (Snoddy)
    Lu(k)aku Costa (Jesus).

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A if Bilic says he is fit

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers pal, bench Morrison then I pressume

        1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I agree with that! Great team

  21. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Quiz: How many points would Alexis be on in this game right now if this was a PL game?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      3

    2. Ephurion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He would have 1 - 1 - 2 + 5 = 3 points.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      The usual + penalty miss.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        That's not how to answer a quiz question.

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      6 (as my captain)

    5. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Is a pen miss -1 or -2?

  22. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Kos is Arsenals biggest threat in the big games. Wins a share of penos.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Always has a goal in him too.

  23. shels

    Baines v Sun (h) already have Coleman

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy of these. Take Baines out of the list!

      1. shels
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        cheers.. makes sense doubling up Eve defence against Sun
        442 it is then 🙂

    2. 404_FC
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      if u hav che def i would bench siggy

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Have Alonso but Siggy does well against big teams- so I am playing both

      1. 404_FC
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        go with ur guts

        for me i think che will keep cs maybe 2-0 or 3-0

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

    Irish commentators still really struggling to understand why Lewandowski fouling Kosc in the box, albeit it unintentional, is a penalty. As in they really do not seem to grasp the concept that Lewa kicked him.

    1. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Seen a lot of the same crap on twitter. Yes, Lewa is very unlucky, but that doesn't change the decision.

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

        Exactly, bit of bad luck but he kicked a guy who had gotten to the ball. Very simple.

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      And still I bet they're better than Quinn, McManaman, Hoddle etc.

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

        Iiiiiiii would disagree 😀

        1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          The lads on RTE? They've limited knowledge, but they're properly entertaining!

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

            Entertaining sometimes, but I find a lot of the waffle the talk so tedious 😀

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Didn't seem a foul to me either, regardless of where on the pitch.

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

        Kosc wins the ball, Lewa kicks him. Accidental, but still a foul.

  25. Sponge-worthy
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    World class finish by Sanchez after the penalty miss. It was beautiful.

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

      Agreed, kept the head after a pen miss as well.

  26. Forza Papac

    Flung a fiver on two score draws tonight at 29/1.

    Cash Out only at £7.33 at the moment 🙁

  27. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Price of Alaba if in FPL? 7.5m min, could they price a defender higher?

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      6.5

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Think Baines was 8m starting 1 season.

  28. AverageJoe
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Wow dreadful defending

  29. diesel001

    Ozil blown it

  30. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
