FanDuel – Beat The Scout Final Day Contest

Today should be savoured – once the final whistles are blown, we wave goodbye to Fantasy Football for an excruciating few months – all the more reason to squeeze every bit of excitement out of Sunday’s action.

Fantasy Premier League is doubtless your main course but, if you’ve yet to try out FanDuel this season, we’ve set up one final exclusive contest to offer you an opportunity to get involved.

We hope to be partnering with FanDuel next season and we know that there is a good deal of the community who have played and enjoyed the game in its first term.

For today, you can register an account, make a deposit and take place in a Fantasy Football Scout contest that gives you the chance to humiliate both Jonty and myself for the chance to win £50 in cash.

This “Beat the Scout” contest is free to enter.

Just register, deposit some funds in your account for next season and pick your line-up.

Everyone who surpasses the score produced by the team that Jonty and I are putting together will be entered into a draw to win £50 in cash – that’s cash, not credit.

Those already registered can also take part but, if you are new to the game, be sure to soak up the Weekly Shop and FanDuel Focus articles published earlier in the week.

They should help you with the nucleus of your line-up, plus you can tweak once the teamsheets come out, right up until the 3pm kick-offs.

Our current line-up is below – although be warned – the discussion is ongoing and Kane is coming in.

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

    Who to captain if 17 points behind leader?
    He has sanchez / jesus

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Try and captain someone that he won't.

        This

        1. jimmy12
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Coutinho or Benteke?

          Probably would go Costa if i knew 100% he was starting

          1. S.Agueroooooo
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Hadn't considered benteke he is a big differential..

            I think your rival will go for Sanchez if he doesn't have Kane. I'd go Jesus

    2. willgriggsonfire
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Jesus

    Bottomed.

    Does Terry on pens lessen Hazards appeal?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Of course. Anything which lessens the chances of points for someone lessens their appeal.

      1. Ephurion
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Epic Fail is 100% right.

    2. enrico.palazzo

      But I'm sure this isn't confirmed?

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        That's why you include a discounting factor of .01 to cover.

    3. willgriggsonfire

      Why would he be on pens?

    Last choice of the year:

    Any reasoning for one over the other?

    Hi all! Bottomed.
    Have 1 FT, 0 ITB.
    Should getting Gabbi out be a priority or should I look for replacing Hazard.
    1. Gabbi -> Llorente/Vokes
    2. Hazard -> Fabregas/Sane
    3. Hazard+Gabbi -> KDB+Llorente/Vokes
    4. Hazard+Gabbi -> Cou+Benteke
    5. Hazard+Gabbi -> Fab/Sane+Benteke
    6. Hazard -> Cou

    Sorry for lot of options.

  9. Darbs

    8-points off top of my mini-league. One free transfer, £0 in the bank, and playing my Bench Boost. What would you do with this front eight...

    Alli - STERLING - King - Sanchez - TOWNSEND (INJ)
    Jesus - GABBIADINI - Kane

    A) Just replace Townsend (not worth the hit with 8 points already to make up)
    B) Replace Townsend AND Sterling to get Coutinho in (-4)
    C) Replace Townsend AND Gabbiadini
    D) All three for -8

    1. Zlatan The Magician
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Post your full team. If your playing bench boost there may be other changes you have to make.

    2. C0YS
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      B) with Stanislas & Cout
      or
      D) with Stanislas, Cout, Vokes.

      Honestly I would go with D.

      You have a good team, I'm sure you'll end up overtaking your ML leader with BB. Good luck.

      as a arsenal fan,i don't see that happening

    2. willgriggsonfire
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Don't it's likely to happen even with their record against such teams.

  11. measuremiracles
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    current team:

    Pickford (Jaku)
    Yoshida, Walker, Monreal, Lovren, (Blind)
    Sanchez, Alli, Sané, King, (Carroll)
    Kane, Costa, (Gabbi)

    1 FT. Is it worth doing:

    a) Alli -> Coutinho
    b) Alli + Costa -> Coutinho + Jesus -4

    Thanks!

  12. Speédy
    • 7 Years

    eriksen - coutinho for free??

    1. S.Agueroooooo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Think circumstances in ML come into it... i.e. What a rival is doing

      If not then I think there is an argument for keeping or if you have triple Spurs you could spread that risk a bit

      1. Fantasy Freddie
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Would you go for Eriksen > Coutinho for a -4? I have Kane and Davies for Spurs cover but no Liverpool?

  13. Teror
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Captain:

    A. Sanchez

    B. Kane

    1. Epic Fail

    Sorry for repost. It's time to pull the trigger.

    Which is better?

    A- Play 4-4-4 bench Gabbi
    B- Play Gabbi in 3-4-3 and bench one of (Yoshida, Alonso, Davies or Monreal)

        • 14 Years

        Alli,Kane,Sane,Sturridge,Jesus,Sanchez.....

        1. TheTinman
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          King

        2. Sane, imho. Assists, but few goals.

            • 14 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            City have so much more to play for than Bournemouth and I truly believe Leicester will put up a fight.....It's a tough one.

            1. It is. Sorry.

                A good problem to have!

                1. Yes!

            2. Here's a thought - line them up in order of BPS achieved.

              1. Tommy J

  17. GuillermoDickero
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    I have a 24 to 28 point lead on my ML rival depending on what transfers he does.

    Seems like quite a tough amount to catch up in one week?

    1. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      go for a maverick captain

      1. Speédy
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        ah,misread it,thought you were chasing

    2. Darbs
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      You'll be fine with that.

    3. Epic Fail

      Aye, it does.

    4. Vinyl78LP
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Only takes a good captain choice for a differential player and its gone. I have a 46 gap to defend and bricking it still.

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years

    Caballero (Pickford)
    Stephens, Vertonghen, Alonso (Yoshida, Holgate)
    Sanchez, Ozil, Hazard, Sane (N'Diaye)
    Kane, Jesus, Gabbiadini

    Chasing 24p and need some heavy hitters..

    Hazard & Gabbiadini -> Son & Sturridge (C)? (FTs)
    Any other tips?

    Which option to choose

    1) Ozil to Coutinho

    Eriksen > Coutinho for a -4?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      For free yes for -4 no way

      1. Fantasy Freddie
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Cheers. Just needed someone to confirm to stop the temptation. Everyone is raving about Coutinho for this round of fixtures and not having him is a scary thought.

    2. Artorias
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      No

  25. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    What's the thinking on Costa starting?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      I think Conte plays near his strongest 11 personally

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      The usual
      If you own him he will start if you don't own him he might not start but you have to tell everyone on here he might/won't start .

    3. You have to be on the pitch to win the golden boot.

    My mini league leader has 2 transfers. How does team value work. This morning he had TV of 105.3 with 0.5 itb. Now he has TV of 105.4 and 0.6 itb?

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      seems to have made two changes with players with identical PP and SP and prob got some 0.2 on rises on his new players through the night?

  27. Junior âš½
    • 8 Years

      • 7 Years

      He will, but we cannot be sure he starts. I for one think he will, but it´s a guess, and he could be a substitute coming in for a late cameo. I took him out, but only because i could afford it.
