Sky Fantasy Football Arrives At The Scout

We’re delighted to announce that the Sky Fantasy game will be our second supported game this season, with an official Fantasy Football Scout League now open, complete with a rather nice prize for the winner.

The Scout League will go hand in hand with an array of coverage of the Sky Fantasy game for the upcoming season. You may have missed Sky’s early launch last week: the headlines are, the game is free to play and there’s £25,000 for the overall winner.

Over the season, we’ll be producing a weekly focus on the movers and shakers within the Scout League, giving airtime to those at the top of the leaderboard and the standout performers in any given Gameweek.

Prior to the big kick-off, we’ll also delve into the rule set and roll out our analysis of player picks over the next few weeks before the season gets underway on Saturday August 18.

As far as prizes go, the overall Scout League winner will pick up a Samsung Blu Ray home cinema system worth up to £600 – not to be sniffed at. We’re also hoping to get a monthly prize sorted, too; stay tuned for more on that.

For now, though, why not join myself and Mark on the ladder – the league is “FFScout” and the Pin is 8004519. We’ll add details for both in the middle column of the homepage. Click here to get involved.

      agreed.

      add a separate tab like they did for the Euro 2012 so it doesn't pollute the FPL experience.

      I don't really a team in case anyone is wondering- I come from down south. I mean, I've been to see Chelsea half a dozen times cos my flat mate could get seasons ticket from work, but I wouldn't say I support them. I would like to see Arsenal do well - it's a real dry spell they are experiencing!

      I seem to be the only one on here not convinced by Aguero for the start. With such uncertainty around their other strikers (Tevez & Dzeko esp.) and with the prospect of RVP going there I will want to see how things pan out for them upfront first. Rooney I am with you on, but my main City investment for the start will be Silva.

    I love a good gamble!!!

    It would be great if Paddy Power or a reputable bookmaker organized an FPL leauge whereby they collect the entry fee and take 10% of it as their fee. If they charged $100 (through an on line account)and had 250 entrants, there would be $22,500 up for grabs. They could have weekly prizes for the highest GW score and even an half season prize.

    Does anyone know whether or not they offer (or anyone else offer such a league?

      I doubt any would do it for so little (in their terms) CF.
      Great idea though I wouldn't dream of putting money into the online FF £ leagues.

      But a reputable base like FFScout. My money would be in faster than a rat up a drainpipe (only clean phrase I could think of).

    Ok, so couple of questions about Sky.

    Is the gameweek the same as FPL....I ask this with the Chelsea and Reading double in mind...is it worth captaining Torres/Hazard/Terry etc?

    Would I be right in thinking that lists of the top tacklers, completed passes and a list of last season's premier league Sky man of the matches would come in handy.

      i have come in the top 200 2 years running now and was first for a weekend! The game week runs from sat to friday, so yes chelsea and reading will get 2 captains for first week. The MOTM is basically who ever the match reporter has in his team to be honest (at least it seems that way) nearly always different from the televised MOTM. They love to give it to whoever scores more often than not.

        only defensive stats i kept were blocks for defenders, they also show tackle stats with guys like figueroa and cuellar standing out but no one really averages 4+ tackles per game.
        common sense imo would be pick holding mids and full backs for tackles, whilst in FPL blocks seem the key thing for bonus so centre backs.
        whoscored might have tackle stats for mids, only issue is i'm not sure they are tackles won, simply tackles contested.
