Last week I launched the Price Prediction Challenge, where I asked the Fantasy Football Scout community to predict 2015/16’s prices of 50 key players. A total of 117 answered the challenge and here is the mean average price for each of those listed.

Points of interest
- The top 5 highest pricers were: 1. Polo… 2. Zero… 3. Bigo1… 4. Baines on Toast… 5. Bedknobs and Broomsticks
- The top 5 lowest pricers were: 1. Mufc Luhg… 2. Konig Luther… 3. Saint Steve-O… 4. QPR expects… 5. GreenWindmill….. (You optimistic so-and-sos!)
- The top 5 players most consistently predicted: 1. Aaron Cresswell (5.5)… 2. Costel Pantilimon (5)… 3. John Stones (5.5)… 4. Scott Dann (5)… 5. Branislav Ivanovic (7.5)
- The top 5 we’re most unsure about: 1. Mario Balotelli… 2. Papiss Cisse… 3. Daniel Sturridge… 4. Harry Kane… 5. Yaya Toure
- The 46 players already in the game (excluding the newly promoted) will be Β£18.5m higher than last season’s starting price, based on the FFScout average. This equates to Β£0.4m higher per player – although it should be considered that the players above are typically popular. But could our Β£100m be stretched more than ever?
Thank you to everyone who contributed. The third and final part of this series will be released shortly after the official price list, aiming to identify the under-priced gems.
