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

      I've been a Juve supporter since the early nineties and i wouldn't say they've always been a selling club.

      I would say that the Italian league has fallen back dramatically vs the other major European leagues and as a result holding top players is now impossible, though. Big shame. Would love to see them as the benchmark for european clubs like they were in the mid nineties.

    If Conte left simply because Juve are selling Vidal then surely Wenger would have left Arsenal ages ago.

      selling was part of an agreed plan at arsenal and arsene was always happy with the transfer fee received

        Wrong...wenger didn't wanna sell any big players, apart from maybe song and adebayor. ..Once the situation was beyond his control only then did he look to make as much profit as he could

      More likely a combination of them missing out on key targets again due to their offers falling short and a big name player (presumably Vidal) being sold.

      Maybe being offered the Italian job was too much of an honour to turn down? Imagine managing your country.
