FantasyBet’s biggest ever contest is coming up on Sunday as the 2015/16 campaign draws to a close. There’s £5000 available in the Grand Finale, offering a top prize of over £1,300 with an entry fee of £33.

As usual on the last day of the season, all kick-offs are at the same time, so with entries available up to 3pm, it’s possible to enter FantasyBet games after you’ve finalised your Fantasy Premier League line-ups.

While the Premier League may be over for the summer, there’s still plenty of football to keep us entertained, with FantasyBet hinting something special is in the works. Look out for their coverage of Euro 2016, which will include both a long-format competition and five-a-side concept.

If you are unfamiliar with FantasyBet it is particularly accessible for those who play Fantasy Premier League, as it uses a similar prices and scoring system.

Check out this daily and weekly fantasy guide to see how the game works.

KEY PICKS

David De Gea Prior to the 1-1 draw with Leicester, the Spaniard was unbeaten in five straight matches in front of his own fans. Indeed, Louis Van Gaal’s side have conceded only eight goals and registered 12 clean sheets in 18 fixtures at Old Trafford ahead of Bournemouth’s weekend visit.

Hector Bellerin A home clash against an Aston Villa side that’s blanked in five of their last seven affords Arsenal the chance of a fourth clean sheet in five attempts. Bellerin has already served up five assists this campaign and his raids down the right are bound to cause the visitors plenty of problems as they prepare for life in the Championship.

Dusan Tadic Hugely impressive in recent weeks, the Serb has delivered two strikes and six assists over the last four matches. With a 70% goal involvement for Southampton during that time frame, Tadic looks set to benefit from a home tie against a Crystal Palace side with one eye on next week’s Wembley final.

Sergio Aguero The Argentine has netted in six consecutive league matches and is now just one goal behind Harry Kane in the race for the Golden Boot. Hosts Swansea have mustered only one clean sheet in six as City travel to the Liberty looking for a result that would seal a top four spot in Manuel Pellegrini’s final match in charge.

LAST WEEK

My fortunes in FantasyBet have been as erratic as on-pitch events this season. The penultimate weekend saw Swansea inflict West Ham’s first defeat at Upton Park in the league since September and with a trio of Hammers assets in all of my line-ups and the armband firmly on either Andy Carroll or Dimitri Payet, it was a week with minor returns.

In low-scoring Gameweek, Teelxp won the Grand Weekend contest with 68 points. A bold triple up of Newcastle defenders combined with the differential pick of Swansea’s Andre Ayew, who scored 13 points, netted over £250.

THIS WEEK’S GAME PICKS

As always the best place to start if you’re new to FantasyBet are the freerolls. There is a £50 pot available for this Gameweek in both the standard and Flash Mode – they both cover all of the matches in Gameweek 38.

The Weekend DoubleUp has a £120 guaranteed pay-out with those managers who finish in the top half of the league at least doubling their £3.30 stake.

As mentioned above, The Grand Finale is the biggest pot FantasyBet have ever offered, with £5,000 in winnings being paid out. Multiple entries are available for a £33 fee to have a chance to end the season with a considerable windfall.

THIS WEEK’S STAKE

I’m entering two teams into The Grand Finale and also place line-ups in the freerolls, the Double-up contest and entering a team into the FFScout Picks League for a total outlay of £69.30.

In addition, I’ll be going up against AZ, the Community champion in this week’s Scout Picks.

He will be taking me on in a specially set up head to head game for a chance to win free entry into a £500 Guaranteed ‘Big Weekly’ game worth £22. Also the eligible Community Champion who beats the Scout Picks by the highest margin every month will win a free entry into the £600 guaranteed ‘Boss’ game worth £55.

FFSCOUT PICKS LEAGUE

Hlopchick topped the FFScout league – which covered all of the double Gameweek fixtures – last week. He emerged victorious with a massive score of 121 points; six of his players recorded double figures or more, with Nathan Redmond (18 points) and Patrick Van Aanholt (17 points) the standout picks.

Once again, FantasyBet have provided a £100 pot for the FFScout Picks League – with a £1.10 stake for entry, it is now possible to enter two teams into this contest. I will enter our Scout Picks as closely as possible, given a 15-man squad is required with the 100m budget and a captain also needs to be selected.

Feel free to go up against them this week and pick your own squad on FantasyBet.
