We’re delighted to announce that Fantasy Football Scout will be supporting Picklive and their soon to be released Euro 2012 games during the summer, with a Scout League to follow. What’s more, we’ve got on board with them for the final game of the season, just in time for them to throw £1000 in the prize pot for their new weekly game based on the Premier League – with an exclusive Scout offer on the table.

Picklive is a new breed of Fantasy Football that’s previously delivered short, sharp games based on a single match. I’ve been wanting to work with their games for sometime – they’re quick, simple and use Opta data for their scoring – something that will come in pretty handy for our members next season. They’re a great fit for us and the games accompany our season-long Fantasy campaigns rather nicely.

While Picklive have stayed true to their roots of short games based on live matches, the new weekly game is a little different – it cuts down the ruleset to something that will be familiar to all and allows you to draft in a starting XI for a full week’s fixtures.

The final Weekend prize pot game costs a tenner to enter, allowing you to pick your eleven for Sunday’s matches – limited only by the three player per team ruling. Click here to get involved – myself and Andy are already in the hat and awaiting your rival lineups.

What’s more, Fantasy Football Scout visitors get an extra bonus – enter the code ‘ffscout’ when you sign up to Picklive and you’ll get a free £5 when you make your first deposit. You’ll need to register before Euro 2012 to get your fiver so get in early now and have a punt at Sunday’s final fling.

You must be verified aged 18 or over to open an account and Picklive’s terms and conditions apply.

We’ll bring you details of their Euro 2012 games and the Scout setup very soon and we’ve more announcements to come. Don’t go anywhere – there’s no Fantasy Football break this summer.

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

    Ok lads should I play Taiwo or make a hit.

    Taiwo is playing away at City so he could get me 1pt max right? And I don't have other defenders. I need to make a hit right? He could get me minus points even

    Guys, seriously need some dvice..

    I am 21 points behind in a ML I am desparate to win...

    He will play it conservatively. He has 1 FT, I have 2 FT, and am also willing to take a hit

    My Team:

    Schwatzer (Vorm
    JEvans (inj), Terry, Verm (Turner, Simpson (inj)
    Bale, Valencia, Demps, Pienaar (Siggy)
    RVP, Cisse, Jelly

    His team:
    Schwatzer, Mignolet
    Kompany, Hibbert, RFerdinand (JEvans, Simpson)
    Bale, Valencia, Demps, Sess & McClean
    RVP, Cisse, Aguero

    I have £4.9m cash

    Thinking
    a) Jelly to Aguero, Bale to Yaya, and Evans to Clichy
    b) Jelly to Aguero, Bale to Moses, Cisse to Torres.
    c) as above though Tevez instead of Aguero

    Thoughts please??

      It's basically all or nothing, so bringing Aguero in I don't think is the best option, as he has him.

      VDV? Yaya? Ramires?
      Ade?

      Hmm...very difficult to say. Looking at them individually probably Dempsey, but then again Id probably bench one of the other two simply based on the fact that they will be playing against each other (I know this shouldnt really matter...but it is the last GW). Do you have any other Everton or Newcastle players? What do you think the game will be like. If you can see it being high scoring drop Dempsey and if you cant see it going that way then go with your gut feeling between HBA and Pienaar.

    I need to pass a 6 pt lead in my $ML to win. My rival's squad looks like this and he's got 1 FT.

    (Vorm, Bogdan)
    (Vermaelen, Simpson,) Evra, Rafael, Kelly,
    (Pienaar, Siggy,) VdV, Dempsey, McClean
    (Cisse,) RVP, Aguero

    My team: 1 FT + 3.8 in the bank
    (Vorm, Bogdan)
    (Vermaelen, Simpson,) Jagielka, Rangel, Turner
    (Pienaar, Siggy,) Bale, Sess, Valencia
    (Cisse,) Rooney, Adebayor

    I'm thinking he will probably sell Cisse.
    I was considering Cisse > Torres but I guess there's a lot of uncertainty around the Chelsea XI. I probably need to improve in midfield. Siggy > Moses is an option.

    What should I do to catch up? Take a lot of hits or make one or two transfers? Which? I know it's much to ask, but I'd appreciate it 🙂

    I think I am gonna risk Nani and captain Torres for the gamble as I fancy him to do well this week too!

    You guys reckon Valencia will start?

    If Dempsey is confirmed out and Valencia is a questionmark whether to start or not, I'm tempted to bring in someone else for a hit.

      If fit, I would expect Valencia to play. Nani/Young is probably a coin-toss for which I would call Nani.

      He better start, or I'm gonna be up to 3 injured, and 2 questionable starters!

    My only fit defenders are Kompany, Taiwo, Turner. I pretty much have to take a hit there right? Is anyone else considering an 8 point hit this week? Seems excessive, but in addition to this garbage defence, I have no MCI attacking coverage, and now I hear Dempsey is injured!

      Depends how much you want to handicap your team. Do you really expect that your replacements for Taiwo or Turner will score at least 4 more?

      Just to put this in context, I had 2 fit defenders last week so took a 4pt hit for Vermaelen. That was the last I saw of those 4pts. There gone. Never to return!!!

        Turner is going to have to stay. Taiwo would be transferred out for Ivanovic. I can see Ivan scoring big against Blackburn...

        The other 2 transfers would be Moses in for Dempsey (inj), and Tevez in for Hernandez, leaving me with starting 11 of..

        Foster

        Kompany, IVANOVIC, Turner

        Valencia, MOSES, Pienaar, VDV

        TEVEZ, rvp, Jelavic

      I'll be taking an 8 pt hit. Already done -4 for my attack but my defence is shite too.

      I have...

      Caulker; Enrique; Turner; (Evans/Simpson).

        Yeah, we'd struggle to even combine our defences and make a half decent 3!

    I think I've decided that my transfer will narrow down to

    Dempsey/Bale -> VdV/Nasri/Toure/Silva

    or

    HBA/Petrov -> Moses

    Mini-leagues are now almost sewn up (36pt league) so my main aim is to get into the top 10k for which I need 7pts

    The rest of the team FWIW is:

    A-Habsi
    Verm/Huth/Hibbert
    ????
    Aguero(C)/RVP(VC)/Jelavic

    Thanks and please?

      Dempsey is injured if it makes it any easier... although, I quite fancy Moses to do well this week.

    Blackburn is wack and now being relegated the little fighting spirit that was left is gone. Who's the hottest prospects for the trashing at Stamford Bridge? Bosingwa, Ramires, Mata, Torres, Drogba?

      Did I miss something? When did Blackburn last get thrashed after having been relegated? I think this might be the first game where this theory could be put to the test.

      Just to compare, how have wolves been playing recently?
