The Sun Dream Team is now open for registration and Fantasy Football Scout are delighted to announce an official league, with The Sun offering a huge £1,000 prize to our winner.

Having had a few weeks to tinker with your starting XI, the serious business starts here. You can register your saved team, put together further lineups and create and enter leagues for the new season.

Select a free team and you can compete for £80,000 in prize money, but if you back yourself by opting for a Premium Package (two teams for £10 or six teams for £25), you’ll have more chances to win and be in the mix to win the full £500,000, whilst also earning the right to compete for the monthly game prizes, which make up £80,000 of the overall prize pot.

Joining and Creating Leagues

You can join or create up to ten leagues with any of your teams and set up your own leagues as you wish. The Sun Dream Team game offers real incentive to get involved – there’s a new Chairman’s prize pool of £10,000 available for those who manage to recruit ten or more managers to their league.

If you’re looking to join an ready-made league, you can challenge the likes of Ian Wright and Terry Venables with Dream Team allowing you to take on an array of celebrity managers.

The Scout League

You should also enroll in the official Fantasy Football Scout League, with Dream Team very kindly offering a £1,000 prize pot to the winner.

    Would it be mental to go into GW1 with Hazard, Lampard and Mata? Then take out the latter 2 for a hit in GW2 for Walcott and Coutinho? RMT has this as accruing 38.97pts after hits.

    For anyone interested:
    Doing Mata > Walcott for GW2 and then Lamps > Coutinho for GW3 gives you 41.31pts.

        I looked at the figures for RMT and came out with the following breakdown:

        For GW 1:
        Hazard 11.19 + Mata 10.36 + Lamps 8.97 = 30.52

        For GW 2:
        Hazard 3.35 + Walcott 4.69 + Coutinho 4.41 = 12.45

        -4pts for transfer hit

        Therefore, 30.52 + 12.45 - 4 = 38.97pts

    Im pretty sure im WCn after GW3, here are the reasons why -

    We'll get a feel for most teams back 4
    RVP has good fixtures
    Int break so you get on some price rises
    The transfer window will be shut
    Turn in fixtures for United, Fulham, Spurs

    So with that in mind here is my team for GW1 - GW3, all thoughts welcome

    Ruddy McGregor
    Cole Shaw Yoshida Rat Collins
    Hazard Silva Coutinho Walcott Lucas
    RVW Lukaku Dzeko

    Bank: 1.5m

    Now the top three are puntish. RVW & Dzeko have good fixtures doubt ill have them after the WC and I have 1.5m in the bank to move Lukaku on to Soldado or another striker. Lucas is a 4.5m filler who will play, only in my team as a back up if RVW or Dzeko dont play.

    Anyone else taking a similar approach? any thoughts on the 15?

      If you're wildcarding in GW3 I don't see why you would keep 1.5m in the bank.. upgrade Lucas to Morrison?

      Also, from sources on here I get the impression RVW isn't as great a pick as people seem to be assuming he will be. Any alternatives?

      I'm going the same approach but ended up with quite a different team. I can't see Dzeko playing often enough to be worth a place. Even with Pele's comments, will he really be ahead of Aguero or Negredo? RVW hasn't played well in pre-season and Hooper seems like a better bet if you really want a Norwich striker.

      Defence and midfield looks good though.

      I feel it is a waste to play a WC so early in the season, keep it when there will be more DGW later this season.
      Make a RVP team instead, a safer choice than playing a newbie like RVW and Dzeko who is a rotation threat.

                They will! 🙂 Keep faith in your plan and do not be swayed by others.

        Mignolet Mannone
        A.Cole GJ Chester Parr Brayford
        Hazard Walcott Silva Snoddy Thomas
        Lukaku Dzeko Aguero

        Double Pool at the back too. Could improve the defence by downgrading GJ

          Bravo. You even got Walcott in too. Lots of eggs in a few baskets but it could get you a great start.

      Aguero, Silva and Zabaleta for me! I can't see Dzeko starting too many games.

    So Hammers fans...who thinks Morrison will be afforded a starting position in GW1 after the good pre-season he's having? Bargain 4th midfielder in a 3-4-3?

        As your 5th midfielder? He has notched 5 goals in pre-season...it is tempting. On the watch list for now I reckon.

          Yes 5th. The money he saves can be put to good use elsewhere, as long as you dont have a 5.0/5.5 forward (2 pointer) who will come in if Rav misses out then he is worth the punt imo

    lol what is with the RAWK forums? As soon as a bit of negative talk starts in a topic they lock it! I'm trying to learn what Liverpool fans think of Suarez and whether or not he will leave and they aren't even allowed to discuss it

      The vitriol there is probably sky high when a player like Suarez wants to leave.

    Santon or Debuchy (both 5.0) for Newcastle? Will warm the bench for GW1 then onwards and upwards.

      Mirallas or Snodgrass

      Nolan won't score much away from home.
