With less than 48 hours left until the season gets underway, we’re rolling out a reminder of our Sky Fantasy Football league for 2015/16. Having won the League of Leagues for the past three years, we’re looking to defend our crown and make it four seasons running come next May.

Over the summer, we’ve commissioned our resident Sky Sports expert d1sable to pen a number of articles for your perusal which will hopefully aid your quest for a lofty finish.

First of all, we analysed the Sky Sports Player List. Breaking it down by position, we assessed what’s on offer amongst the Goalkeepers, Defenders, Midfielders and Forwards.

We’ve also cast a close eye over the numerous Formations available to Fantasy managers and looked at the most successful set-ups in the season gone by.

After that, we delved into the Man of the Match data, looking at both the players and positions which are likeliest to benefit from the watching Sky Sports reporters. With that in mind, we also predicted who we think will be rewarded this time out.

Earlier this week, D1sable also went back over the Captaincy rules and highlighted what he considers to be the best armband tactics for the opening couple of months.

Tomorrow, he’ll return with his new team ahead of Gameweek 1 to help guide you through the first round of fixtures.

If you’re looking to get involved, we’ve set up an official Fantasy Football Scout league – the name is FFScout and the pin number to join is 8009000.

Once again, there’s a cool £1,000 to the Fantasy manager who finished at the summit of the Scout league. Last season, the Scout League winner Geoff Pryor also clinched the overall top spot and walked away £30,000 richer.

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

    No refuunds given on the Cedric bandwagon I'm afraid, you can have a lightly soiled Yoshida in return if you wish.!

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Another one out of ya and I'm going to go to Targett and use the 1.0 to upgrade Sterling to Silva. Just remember - you will have done this and you alone 😀

    Shawcross out for two months and Cabaye + Bolasie both available. This changes things...

    I get the feeling I'd regret benching Sakho...

      I've pondered attacking rotations GB

      Not in favour at all

      I will never willingly not play 3-4-3

          • 16 Years

          Unlucky - maybe Mertesacker?

  7. AleksanderVN

    • 14 Years

    Need your tips below;

    a: Walcott Surman, Benteke (Play Sakho every week)

    1. JÜrgen Knob
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

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

      Good but not a great attacking team. Why do you have 3.5mil itb? To upgrade rooney to aguero in a few GWs?

  9. Jayblue
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Need your thoughts on my fpl team

    Cech
    Azpi huth cedric
    Haz sterling mane ozil
    Rooney(c) benteke wickham

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Wickham's an interesting punt. Not worried about Bamford starting in his stead?

    'Sod career, sic' is an anagram of Cedric Soares. That's good enough for me to take him out of my team.

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      but not good enough to repost : l

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        It took ages to find a decent anagram. Sod off 😉

    I don't have anyone from Southampton. Shoild I be worried? Pelle seems to be on fire atm.

    1. TorresMagic™

      Europa is easy.

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        The thing is they had a proper preseason. Europa matches are better for preparation than friendlies. That is why mid table teams in Europa like Southampton and Westham could have a better start than others like Swansea, Everton etc.

    Pelle gonna tear Newcastle a new one

    1. Lateriser 12

      Cedric didn't play well?

      1. Lingardium Leviosa.
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

    2. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Big Mike Williamson will mark him out of the game using his electric turn of foot, immense game reading ability and natural physical strength... Pelle won't get a look in!

  15. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ

    Sold Pelle this morning, might regret that.

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge

      God bless unlimited transfers.

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      The first one cos the last two haven't scored in the last 5 minutes.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years

      B

    3. Sánchez
      • 13 Years

    West Ham to do a Newcastle/Sunderland this season

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      As you have no clue as to our team, how do you work that one out?

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

        ^butthurt 😛

      2. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Won't it be something like

        Adrian
        Cresswell Ogbonna Reid Jenkinson
        Noble
        Kouayate Oxford
        Payet
        Sakho Zarate

        ?

        Europa and preseason performance strikes off this gut feeling I'm afraid! 🙂

      3. Frank Black

    Any Kane owners concerned that Spurs buying another striker could reduce his goals?

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

      Not really anymore than I am Costa or Aguero losing goals.
      Spurs play Europa league & w/ the strikers they currently have (none) they'd be silly to not get at least one more imo.

      This happens When i log in. It Directs me to site called paulgrenwood.com

  23. Big4FPL
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Hmmm I know this sounds kneejerk but would you rather:

    A) Cedric + Mane + Ighalo
    B) Rotating 4.5's + 5.5 Mid (suggestions please!) + Pelle

    Currently on A!

  24. Yome
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    5: Good work from Dušan Tadić, whose cross was pushed on to @GPelle19 by @Prowsey16. Ideal start! #saintsfc [0-1/0-4]

  25. Collar On or Kolarov

    Is Cedric the Filipe Luis of this season?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yes.

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

    It's okay, it won't be long until Mane scores too and we can all relax

    1. BrockLanders

      Hopefully keep his hatrick for Sunday

  27. Long Juan Silva

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Benched for today's game
      No everyone thinks he won't play in the PL

      Nothing going on really

      1. Long Juan Silva
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Who will instead? Isn't he their only senior RB?

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          This Martina guy or something also plays RB
          But Cedric is first choice unless he got injured in warm-up or something

          1. Long Juan Silva
            • 11 Years

  29. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    A) Fabregas and Cedric
