As many of you are already aware, the Sky Sports Fantasy Football game was launched earlier this month, allowing Fantasy managers the first chance to tinker with their teams for the campaign ahead. Having clinched top spot in the League of Leagues for the past two seasons, we’re looking to defend our crown once again and hope to make it three times running this year:

For those playing the Sky Sports game, we’ve set up an official Fantasy Football Scout league – the name is FFScout and the pin number to join is 8009000.

There’s far more than just bragging rights involved here, though. Once again, we’re offering a cool £1,000 for the Fantasy manager who finishes at the summit of the Scout league – offering plenty of incentive to assemble a team and get involved.

Over the next few days, we plan to roll out our Player Price List analysis articles, breaking down the options position by position and offering insight into each player’s potential.

Once the season gets underway, we’ll be bringing you hints and tips in our weekly Friday afternoon “Sky Sports Focus†articles, analysing the market trends and looking at transfer tactics for the Gameweek ahead.

Fortunately, our regular contributor d1sable will again be at the helm to offer his expert advice – having finished inside the overall top 10 last season, he’s gunning for the top prize this time around.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      40 million for a guy deemed worse than Koscielny and Sakho.
      Not saying they're bad players, but that's madness.
      He plays in the Portuguese league.. 51 appearances.
      70 appearances in Belgium. I no longer understand the world.

          I said deemed, as I don't actually know myself.
          I'm sure he wasn't playing due to lack of international experience and I'm sure he's good, but 40m is a lot.

Nice rank you managed 😉 You can copy my FPL, I will put a few RMT very soon 🙂 I fancy RVP this year, Hazard nailed on for pens with no Lampard, a Chelsea defender a must, then I think Giroud will be a good pick in attack, the rest will depend on the pricing.

                  For France NT he has for years now been not even amongst the 10 best.

                  Anyway, true, it's not simple as that, but Sakho and Mangala are very similar players, straight replacements for one another, only Sakho is better.

                  Let's put it this way: at the age of 17 Sakho was the captain of PSG, whereas Mangala was a water boy for Standard Liege.

      Two ways to use subs:

      1) To cover injury and rotation. I find it's about 1 week in 3 or 4 that they're needed for this so it's worth having at least one good option who you wouldn't mind playing. Preferably two.

      2) Your own rotation. Mostly used in defence, you pick two players with fixtures that mean you can play one and bench one to get one good fixture every week. See, for example, Lanley Staurel's excellent article: http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/07/15/the-alternative-short-term-defensive-rotation-view/

    2. Snevitz

      Subs are useful for a few reasons.

      If a player in your team is unexpectedly injured you still have the opportunity to get points.
      You can find a good rotation (especially in defence) so you can play players with favourable fixtures each week and put players with bad fixtures on your bench.
      You have 15 players that you can potentially make money from as their prices increase.

      Don't make the mistake of leaving none playing subs on your bench week after week.
