With less than four weeks left until the season gets underway, the Sky Sports Fantasy Football game for 2015/16 finally opened its doors earlier today.

Whilst Fantasy managers start to build their opening squads, reigning champion Geoff Pryor will be hoping to retain his crown after earning a cool £30,000 for finishing first last season – if you missed our interview with Geoff, click here for the lowdown on his title-winning campaign.

As many of you will know, the Sky Sports game is one that we’ve covered in the past, with our Members area including the relevant bonus point recipients across the positions.

After winning the Best League for each of the last three years, we’re looking forward to defending our title once again. The winner of last season’s Scout League picked up £1,000 for their achievements and we’re hoping to offer prizes for whoever finishes at the summit once again.

We’ll be re-starting our official league soon and will be rolling out a series of articles over the next couple of weeks, looking at the Player List and analysing the best tactical approaches.

Regular contributor d1sable is on board once more to roll out his regular Friday afternoon articles – he clinched yet another top 100 spot in 2015/16 and will be looking to heap the pressure on Geoff at the summit.

We’ve set up a new community article to exclusively deal with Sky Sports Fantasy teams. Those looking to get involved with the discussion should click this link.

        I can guess, we were sh!te :/

    3. Hooky

      Sakho in the reserves side - a sign of things to come?

      1. The Gambler.
        • 16 Years

        experience for first half team

    4. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Origi...... Was included in the worse team of the season in a poll

    5. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Safe to get Toure/Wisdom then for the first half?

  3. Trigg ⭐️
    • 13 Years

    Who are the best 3 mids in the 8-9m price range, in your opinion?

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Mata Ozil Di Maria

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        ADM could be a great risk, I agree. Quality player, second season, excellent price.

        1. MBK 42
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          ...playing for PSG

        2. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          He is injured and unlikely to be fit for the start of the season

    2. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      The Arsenal one's

    3. Bambi
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      mata, walcott, eriksen. in my opinion

    4. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Mata, Fabregas and Rambo/Ozil.

    5. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling, Mata, Ramsey

    6. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Ozil, Mata, Mane

      But I'm not a fan of the 8-9m mids.

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Silva, Haz, Hendo, Ki, Ritchie?

        How does that midfield grab you?

          Aguero takes pens at City

  4. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Wish Rooney was still on pens. Would make him very hard to ignore.

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years

      +1

      BubziDupzy

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Phil Jones still taking pens?

    4. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Another reason to dislike LVGrrrrrrrrrrr

      1. Hanked
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Rooney is at best an average penalty taker. His record isn't great.

    5. JaydenLFC87
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Is this confirmed??

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Pretty much yeah. Mata should still be on them. He was at the end of last season anyway.

        1. JaydenLFC87
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Grim,

        2. Jay Jay Okocha
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          So that's far from confirmed

          1. Hooky
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Rooney said at the end of last season that if you miss one you go to the back of the queue so there are probably 2/3/4 others ahead of him now. If Mata is on the pitch he will take them (until he misses of course).

          2. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Well it was confirmed last season

  5. Rupert The Horse

    I am going to finally play this game, D1sable's success has convinced me.

    First Draft
    ------------------

    Schmeichel | Fabianski
    Azpilicueta | Mings | O'Shea | Ogbonna/Jenkinson | Mertesacker
    Hazard | Yaya | Ozil | Atsu | Albrighton
    Gomis | Rooney | Sakho

    2.0 ITB

    any suggestions are much appreciated..

    Thanks!

    1. Watmore do ya want?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      use 2m itb to upgrade Gomis
      Atsu is risky

    2. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Good three man defensive rotation. Atsu as a fourth mid is concerning.

    3. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Really nice balance. Interesting punts - could come off. Looks good for a first draft

    4. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Don't save money, upgrade Atsu.

  7. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    For GW1, would you start Chadli or Deeney?

    1. Bambi
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      chadli

    2. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Deeney, can't see Spurs getting past the Schweini, Schneidi wall whereas Everton are leaky.

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Is Arteta likely to play at all? Taking pens back fro, Cazorla?

    1. Spatburgunder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Could well do if he gets back. I've a sneaky feeling Arsenal are going to make some surprising changes this window. May be wrong though!

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure what for.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Could see him play the odd game

    4. meerlight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I think coquelin has pretty much snuffed arteta out.

  9. Spatburgunder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    How much do you reckon Austin would be if he went to NEW?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      £7.5 million

      1. Spatburgunder
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I'm thinking the same, If he came in at

        1. Spatburgunder
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          less than 7 I'd have to get involved... Doh!

    2. Watmore do ya want?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      7?

    3. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      8.5 at least based on Kane's jump to 9.5

      1. meerlight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Ings is 7.5, so that's where i'd put austin

    4. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      7.5-8 I'd guess.

    5. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      8.0 and worth it

    6. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      8.5m

    7. LFC466
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      £7.5-8M

  10. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Ibe is classed as a midfielder. What is this travesty.

    1. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      ???????????

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Pretty self explanatory

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Why wouldn't he be?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Keeps playing wing back.

        1. asquishypotato
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Or RM if you look at it that way.

  11. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Can't believe I am gonna play a 4-3-3 in GW1!!

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Cant believe you actually think you've picked your final squad.

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      what you got now Darmian is 5.5?

      1. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Azpi-Darmian-A.Williams-O'Shea-Francis. As I posted yesterday the three man rotation of SWA-SUN-BOU is great (only one week when all 3 are away). Where you at?

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Ivan, Sakho, Ogbonna. Francis, Huth

          1. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Personal opinion is that Sakho is a risk. If you really wanna keep Ivan then upgrade Sakho to Darmian or Mert and then do Ogbonna-->O'Shea or Ward. Not sure on Leicester.

            1. JK - Cønt ⭐
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              yeah that;s where I'm at atm

              Ivan 5.5/6 4.5, 4.5, 4.0

            2. JK - Cønt ⭐
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              am considering keeping Ogbonna and getting Ivan, Darmian, Ogbonna, Francis, 4.0

              WHM/BOU rotation for the first 8 weeks

  12. MBK 42
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    I keep being drawn to Wilshere; at 6m he could be a huge bargain if he stays fit and gets a run in the team -what are the chances of either happening though?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      based on previous seasons 0%

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      None.

      1. MBK 42
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        dammit

    Afternoon Gents- had a few questions, wanted your opinion please, would assume a lot of this would probably help a lot of ppl with similar thoughts.

    1) Best B'mouth defender
    2) Best Watford defender
    3) in order best-worse choice (8.5m bracket) depay, firmino, ozil, santi, ramsey,yaya?
    4) Kane or Giroud?
    5) deeney or Wilson?
    6) best 4.5m 5th midfielder- wanyama, benteleb, poyet, anya or anyone else?
    7) most likely 4.0m defender to start and hold?
    8) Best 7m Midfielder? Hendo, milner, ayew, tadic, chadli or Bastian Scheiwensteiger?
    9) Best GK rotational pair for opening 10 games or so?
    10) how much of the 100m should be spent on GK: DEF: MID: ATT:

    Cheers!

      Francis
      Paredes
      Santi Yaya Ozil Ramsey Depay
      Giroud
      Deeney
      Anya (lower ownership than Wanyama)
      Doubtful
      Hendo
      Panti and 4
      9.5, 25.5, 40, 25

      Just my thoughts

    4. LFC466
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Mings
      Prodl
      Cazorla > Firmino = Depay > Ramsey > Ozil > YYT
      Kane
      Deeney
      Wanyama
      Wouldn't risk any of them at this point
      Henderson
      Ruddy + Butland
      I prefer not to think about that too much

  14. sneif4
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    RMT if you don't mind...

    Panti
    Mert Darmian Azpi
    Hazard Ozil Henderson Ritchie
    Lukaku Costa Benteke

    4.0 Morgan Anya Francis

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      rather expensive defence. It's decent team but i'm not sure on lukaku

    2. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't want Lukaku for our opening run, I'd maybe look at downgrading a defender and trying to get Rooney.

      1. MBK 42
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I'm thinking of captaining Lukaku first game then ditching straightaway

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Siamese if you please

    4. Spatburgunder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'd look at dropping Lukaku or Tekkers for Sakho/Deeney then upgrading Ritchie (or keeping the cash in case ou want Kun).

      Just my 2 pence

    5. Watmore do ya want?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Lose Lukaku and downgrade to a sahko/deeney imo

    6. sneif4
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Wow, no Lukaku love!

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        He's burnt alot of people over the last couple of seasons plus everton's fixtures turn sour quickly

      2. Doolittle
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Have you seen our fixtures after GW1?

          True. I'm just struggling to choose an alternative. Aguero is expensive, Rooney's position is unknown

        Not quite sure what you are getting at? Is he injury prone?

        1. kalmoffit
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Er, unproven, unseen, unrealistic expectations.

          1. The Gambler.
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Shaw was none of those

      2. sneif4
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Potentially. He's the first I'd consider changing. May go for Williams

    8. LFC466
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      definitely don't like the idea of going with costa and hazard -- players at those prices need captaincy points to provide value and one of them will just end up being wasted

  15. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Not much love for Giroud?

    Schmeichel Hamer
    Azpi Mert Darmian Francis Targett
    Hazard Walcott Depay Ritchie
    Costa Giroud Sakho

    Both Giroud and Walcott is riskey but Arsenals fixtures are good and they normally steamroller the lesser sides. Thoughts?

    1. Watmore do ya want?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Probably shouldn't have both Giroud and Walcott. Likely that one of them will be benched for GW1

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Well, you've identified Wally and Giroud together as risky. As well as that you have 1) Only one playing keeper, 2) Francis, Darmian, Depay, Ritchie all new to the league, 3) Targett who might play a couple of games but not much more.

      Might be worth mulling over again imo.

    If anyone is up for sharing some thoughts, I am about to throw down my first RMT of the year!

    I haven't read many articles yet, and expect this to change dramatically, but anyone have any thoughts to get me going? (Last year top 1500, so its gonna be tough to beat)

    Hamer Fabianski

    azpilicueta Koscielny Lescott, Oshea, Baker

    Hazard, Walcott, Mata, Wilshere, Wanyama

    Costa, Kane, Deeny

    Whadya think so far guys?!

      • 15 Years

      A

      B is the riskier pick but with depay being unknown quantity in fpl and kane leaving last season not in the greatest form it has to be A

    Interesting.

    Moreno not starting either half for Liverpool's preseason match today,

    Wisdom playing the first half, then Maguire.

    Perhaps Brendan has hopes to use Wisdom at LB if he impresses..... only 4.5

    1. internal error

      he may be carrying an injury. Makes no sense to be in neither team

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years

        Likewise with Firminio, any reason he's not there?

          firmino and Coutinho will join the squad in a couple of weeks. Extra holiday leave after Copa America

    2. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years

      Wisdom is a better defender than Moreno

    Jonty tip for the coming season.

    Instead of explaining why you are locking threads, just use some skepta lyrics and SHUTDOWN.

    For instance; its all kicking off with Jt's dog, So post and lock:

    RMT

    Ruddy (Rudd)

    Ivan, Williams, Huth, Francis, (Targett)

    Haz, Caz, Yaya, Ritchie, (Hoolahan)

    Costa, Rooney, (Deeney)

    Thanks

    1. Girls like Cars and Man&eac…
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Caz is probably going to play beside Coq so I'd suggest you get Ozil or Ramsey instead.

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      this pretty good
      hate the keeprs .5 gets you a nice 9.0 rotation
      Targett rotates with NOR (Bassong)
      Haz> Fab opens some doors. IMO GL

  22. Punty
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Hmm.. Starting to get closer to a team I think.. any thoughts? Cheers.. Thinking West Ham defenders instead of Moreno or Darmaian possibly.. or Sterling instead of Yaya?

    Cech
    Ivanovic Moreno Darmaian
    Yaya Fabregas Ramsey Henderson
    Rooney Kane Sakho

    4m Wanyama Vlaar Morgan

    1. jam sandwich
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      too much in defense but that was obviously intended so i guess it doesn't bother you. that said none of kun/silva/hazard is a large risk that probably won't pay off

      1. Punty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Hmm yeah might need one of them for captaincy..

    2. Think
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Good team Whu defender can do it better,let yaya be there for 3 weeks up untill kun gets match fitness. And as ur name suggests put one punt in ur team.

      1. Punty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah want Aguero as soon as he is fit..

    3. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I went Jag> Cress week 2
      downgrade a 5.5> SWA rotates w/morgan
      upgrade Wanayama> Hoolahan

  23. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years

    Who would you say is the MUST have player for Day 1?

    The first player on your team sheet.

    The one you save money elsewhere to keep in.

    The one who definitely will not leave.

    Mine is Eden Hazard

    1. Punty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero if fit, none otherwise

      1. Think
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Giroud !

    2. Epic Fail

      Hazard

    3. kalmoffit

      There's nobody who might not get sold. Costa is first on my team sheet.

    gotta say thanks to Ludo, 3rdTurd and BillyGilmore

    From Ludo's post it's clear that assuming a max of 9.0 on keepers Panti/4.0 or Ruddy with Rudd/Butland is thew way to go

    Thanks to BPS analysis it's clear to BPS changes make Azpi a decent choice if on a budget but actually they favour Ivan even more, which added to his goal threat makes him a terrific pick

    1. Ginkapo FPL

    2. Birds of Prey

  27. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Darmian @ 5.5m fits perfectly into my team.

    Courtois
    Mert / Darmian / Toby
    Fabregas / Ozil / Mata / Chadli
    Aguero / Rooney / Defoe

    4.0m / 4.5m / 4.0m / 4.0m

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      May swap Mata out for Firmino

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          I'm not totally sure either but with Sunderlands opening fixtures I think he is work a look @ 5.5m more over the forwards from the promoted teams IMO.

    2. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      There are no 4.0m starting defenders.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Pudil & S.Taylor are who I have at the moment and both may possibly be starters. If not i'm not too concerned as I won't be utilising them anyway.

    Any tips on a cheap as chips 3 way defence combo?

    I am happy with Azpili and Koscielny as my two main defenders, and I would like a three way rotation for the third spot. or maybe a two way rotation and bench fodder, really want to spend the money elsewhere.

    Any tips?

    1. The Gambler.
