Fantasy Football Exchange (FFE) is a new player in the Fantasy Football market. Having made its debut earlier in the season, the guys at FFE are looking for folks to get involved in the game and offer feedback.
The game provides weekly, monthly and season-long leagues and also enables you to set up your own. Leagues can be played for free or you can back your selections by laying down a stake and competing for cash prizes.
They’ve provided a Fantasy Football Scout league for this weekend – it’s free to enter with a £500 prize pot to be split amongst the top managers.
While FFE is a newcomer, the game should be immediately familiar to most of us. The ruleset is very similar to the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game: the squad structure is the same, whilst the scoring system is almost identical to the FPL, with a few, rather neat exceptions.
Firstly, FFE have decided to approach bonus points differently, basing their awards on the average 1-10 rating score gathered from three daily newspapers. An interesting angle and, arguably, a fairer method of measuring the impact of players on matches.
The game also takes the brave step of splitting the midfield positions, something I’ve advocated for several seasons.
FFE squads can also include defensive midfielders, who score two points for a clean sheet kept by their team. With the bonus points potentially doing a better job of recognising player performance, there’s now even an argument to consider Lee Cattermole. Okay, that might be going a bit far, but you get the idea.
Like the FPL, the game has dynamic prices based on player popularity. Despite this, your current FPL lineup should translate pretty easily to FFE as the player pricing is very similar.
Our starter league runs for just Gameweek 12 but FFE also offer monthly and season-long tournaments, either for free or for an entry fee. You can also easily set up your own private or public tournaments, setting the prize and stake involved.
Visit FFE now to get involved. Our league is set up and all you’ll need to do is enter this code (1305 0274 9779 8067) to get involved – our league name is Fantasy Football Scout GW12.

Currently at
Duff- Good chances of a clean sheet
Marney-Almost guaranteed of two points over the entire season
Hutton-I fear a five minute Cameo. If I was sure he is starting I might put him first though and Marney warms the third position of the bench.
