FPL Scout League Now Open

The Scout’s Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Classic League has now been renewed and is open for registration. Those who participated in our league last season will have been automatically renewed as members of our league again this term.

If you’re new to the Scout, then you’ll need to go to the league page on the FPL site, click “Join a League”, select “Private League” and enter the following code – 40184-13425. You’ll find this code on the homepage, in the middle column, from now on.

What do you get if you win the Classic League? Huge kudos and a place in the hall of fame alongside Jon Reeson, Chris McGurn and last season’s winner Gary McLean. Plus, of course, if you’ve won the Scout league, you’re likely to be right up there with the best FPL managers, challenging for the top prize. Two of the last three FPL Champions have come from the Fantasy Football Scout League, while Gary McLean ranked third overall last season, missing out on the crown on the final day by just ten points. In other words, the standard is pretty bloody high.

We’ll be putting together regular league updates on the site, tracking the progress of the front runners as the Gameweeks roll by and those tussling at the top will, of course, get regular mentions in the ScoutCast.

We will also be launching a Members League – details of that will be appearing in the Members area early next week.

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

    I've finally let go of Rooney and De Gea and kicked them out of my team. Now my team has fallen into a beautifully balanced, flexable harmonious masterpiece. Bring on the long and winding season...

        I'm both reluctant and eager to post my team, so what the hell:

        Al-Habsi Green
        Ivanovic Lescott | Cuellar Fonte Demel/Nelson
        Valencia Hazard Kagawa | McAnuff Noble
        Aguero Torres Graham

        Players after the ' | ' symbol rotate over one slot.

        He should be playing CF.

        And I've thought about it, but with the international friendlies a few days before, and the amount of depth they have, I just can't tell who will play both games.

        Then they've got a blank in round 3, so I think 2 Chelsea players should suffice.

        Then again I could be completely wrong, but thanks for the advice.

        Food for thought. Who's another nailed on 4.0 defender? Would you get rid of Cuellar or Hangeland?

        I'd probably go Ivanovic > Spurs defender in GW2

    Anyone going with 6 double GW players?
    Federici, Mariappa, Guthrie, Torres, Hazard and Ivanovic
    The reading players then become bench fillers and with the 2 free transfers still field a full 11 in week 3

    First RMT:

    Friedel Jaaskelainen
    Fabio A.Cole (v) Lescott Shorey Demel(s)
    Walters Hazard (c) Guthrie Dyer (s) Maloney (s)
    Podolski Rooney Aguero

    1.0m in the bank. Will need this cushion to swap big name players who are performing for big names that are not. Or a really good value buy.

    I’ve gone with a weak midfield, cause frankly can’t find anyone that will score points for sure or with any reliability. (Gone are the days of CR7, Lamps and Gerrad turning it on in FPL. Sigh!). Will look to transfer in mids of smaller teams or cheaper (maybe Aquilani, Chamberlain will come through big).

    Is this a good strategy? What do you think?

            Yeah but if Rodgers thinks he's getting too old then he could possibly move there. He bossed England from there but Aqua is better suited to the role providing he can adapt to the Premier League.

      Fergie said Kagawa is looking impressive. Im more than a little put off of Utd midfielders to be honest. All signs point to yet more rotation this season. I think de Gea and Rooney are all that is worth buying at this stage
