You might have noticed that Fantasy Football Scout has continued to grow this season. Hopefully, this will continue into next term and, with ideas and plans forming week on week, I’ve decided it’s time to look to add at least one new member to our team of contributors.

We’re looking for a writer to join Sir Paulos’ editorial team – someone who can commit their time and enthusiasm to the site, take charge of a section and make it there own. Hopefully someone who can grow with us and help us into another exciting season of development.

Ideally we’re looking for someone who…

  • Has a knowledge and passion, not just for Premier League football but for Fantasy Football. You will have opinions and be able to back them up with enthusiasm.
  • Is willing to volunteer and contribute their passion and their time to become an invaluable member of a growing editorial team.
  • Has good, strong writing skills with the ability to produce tight, entertaining editorial – in line with the house style, but with a twist of personality.
  • Is available to contribute opinions throughout the week and at weekends, helping to shape decisions and editorial direction within the Scout team.
  • Is available to contribute articles on a weekly basis and be prepared to take charge of an established section of the site, making it their own and working in collaboration with the team to grow it further.

If you feel you’d like to put yourself forward for this role, please send a short summary of yourself, along with a sample of your writing to writers@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.

If you don’t have any samples of writing available, please supply a Watchlist article – of a player of your choice, written to our template, an example of which can be found here.

This process is typically lengthy and it’s likely that Sir Paulos and I will be looking at applications from now right through until the end of January. Please be patient with us, we will try to get back to applicants as soon as possible and we will keep you up to date with the process via the site as we go.

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

      He is definitely out. The tournament starts less than a week after the QPR game. Pardew made a comment about hoping to be able to keep him for the FA cup game this weekend. If he's hoping to keep Ba for that one there's no chance of him still being around a week later.

          McCarthy, Coleman, Shlong etc. Not destroying, but they're not gonna want to play for the country if he doesn't pick them.

            Surprised McC and Schlong aren't playing for sure. Coleman, not so much.

        Destroying is a strong word but he could be playing McCarthy, Coleman and Long more often.

      Thanks guys. Having a stong bench player is never a bad thing, although lots of time to decide whoi t will be each week and getting the wrong one will be annoying no doubt.

    Speaking of Television, have any of you seen Breaking Bad? I'm near the end of Season 3. 4 and 5 still to go. What a brilliant show. Great cast and Bryan Cranston (Malcolm In The Middle Dad) is epic in it.
