The Fantasy Football Scout Survey

With the weekend FA Cup matches providing another break in proceedings, we’re taking this opportunity to launch the Fantasy Football Scout survey.

This is long overdue.

While we’ve gathered some feedback in previous years, it was actually way back in 2010 when we last carried out a full survey of our readership and so much has changed since then.

We’ve tried to keep the 2017 iteration as brief as possible, while canvasing you on your views on the site, your likes and dislikes, your Fantasy Football habits and also a bit of background about you.

This feedback will provide us with a vital first step in shaping the future of the site. We’re currently in the process of restructuring the team and this involves hiring a full-time developer to work with Ed on taking the site forward.

We intend to open this up to our readers, using the survey to help schedule our priorities but coming to you to finalise our list of tasks. Crucially, once we’re underway, we want to report back regularly on progress and the changes to the roadmap.

Your input on this survey is a crucial first step. We hope you’ll take time to answer our questions and, where applicable, leave comments and feedback.

We will likely be leaving the survey open for up to a month and then, hopefully, we will get the opportunity to share the results and how this has impacted on our thinking for future development.

As an added incentive, those who complete the survey in full will have the opportunity to enter a draw to win a £100 Amazon voucher.

Click here to take the survey.

Thanks for your feedback.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    To be fair, it can be intimidating to take a penalty against Neuer.

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      This is true

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez has been taking those penalties in the middle for quite a time now

    Am at work, any links to the goal?

      1. tm245

        Cheers, country restriction in USA so I can't view it. Will look for it online.

    Pick one with the next few game weeks in mind:

    1. Josh King
    2. Snoddy
    3. Barkley
    4. Antonio

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      King

      1. Dirty Harry

        Thanks

      5 lanzini

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        What is Carroll returns though?

        1. 404_FC
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          i guess it will look like this

          antonio lanzini snoddy
          carroll

          if u want to play safe then go king coz he playing role 9

          1. Dirty Harry
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah I'm only 20 points from my ML leader so if King can be OoP and bang me a couple of dongs that would be great. He has some good stats

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I'm in too, looks like a Payet replacement. Keep quiet 😉

        1. Dirty Harry
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Kings stats are quite superior to Lanzini actually.

      3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Recent Scout articles has Lanzini possibly going to bench- one of the game review articles

        1. Dirty Harry
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He isnt 100% nailed which is a concern.

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      King is top of my list atm

    Robben doing well for a 50 year old

    1. fedolefan

      A picture of him when he is 50 will be something.

    3. Syd.

      There is hope for me yet

  5. Je suis le chat

    7 years, 2 months ago

    What I loved about RTEs analysis is their focus on Per Mertesekers defensive positioning. Did no one tell them he hasn't been in the team for a year?

    1. Scratch
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      That's textbook RTE they (Dunphy) always complain about the team selection and claim whichever X Y Z on the bench would improve the team immeasurably.

      And let me guess, that dinosaur Dunphy is moaning about Ozil again because he doesn't "roll up his sleeves and work hard"

  6. Jigger & Pony
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Hopefully Sanchez will go practice a few pens when back in London

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Every Pro can take a good pen in practise.....it having the 50,000 fans on your back and the millions watching at home that's the problem....and the pressure from your own team mates and manager.

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        All true

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          It must be really hard. I wouldn't go anywhere near one.

          1. Jigger & Pony
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            I am sure the pressure is immense. But I guess what you can do is just practice loads so it becomes muscle memory...

          2. Bazzalona
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Even if its saved, its not had to take a decent pen.
            Low, hard and near the corner.
            Point is Sanchez' last 2 have been poor whether they went in or not

  7. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Kos had his studs raised, no penos imo., should have been a free out.

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Agreed, lack of control with the clearance but nothing in it.

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kos got the ball, Lewan just kicked him

  8. Farke in hell
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is alexis bad on pens?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Bad is being generous.

    2. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Put it this way I'd have a better success rate than him

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      His only effective shot is down the middle after a hesitation- Neuer wasn't buying that

  9. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Jesus/Ibra > Costa/Lukaku for a hit or play DeRoon?

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Jesus->Lukaku

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I reckon Lukaku is near essential over the next few GWs so him 🙂

    3. 404_FC
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      jesus to kaku

    4. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…

      J to Luk

    Pop quiz, hotshot.

    How well do you know FFS?

    Who gave the following single piece of FPL advice: "It's a marathon, not a sprint."

    Extra bonus point if you can tell me when it was said.

    Ozil knows 😉

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years

      WR

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Nope 🙂

    2. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      That sounds like something Jonty would say... GW9

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Half a point.

      2. J0E
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        It was part of a community question on a scoutcast which I read out. Can't remember who asked the question though.

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          The correct answer is ... Jonty at the end of the first scoutcast of the season!

          1. J0E
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years

            Actually you're wrong.

            Just found the notes from gwk 1 scoutcast

            "Final Question

            Q: Rossonero - What is your best tip for success? His favourite is “it’s a marathon not a sprint” "

            So the answer is Rossonero.

              FPLVirgin wrong? 😯

                • 7 Years

                Being right 99% of the time isn't too shabby.

        That's the wrong answer!

      • 14 Years

      It was said twice by two different posters (from memory) in the "Best Single Advice" hot topic earlier today.

      It must be true 🙂

    Why can't Sanchez just practise his PKs... I mean he is so terrible at it.

    1. Farke in hell
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      or maybe because it was NEUER

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Same spot as vs Hull at the weekend. Hopefully now he'll practice and keep them for the run in 🙂

    Still keeping him for 2 blanks will be a big ask

    1. Rainer

      I don't think blanks fall under the fixture proof bracket 😛

    Are there any plans for an app in the pipeline?. Could have all the same features and the casuals could all still buy membership. You could also charge for the download and scrap membership as all stats are out there now. The cast could be run on the app via youtube but it must play the theme tunes i will not download without the theme tunes lol.
