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.

    Alexis to Mane for sure. This Ars defence is diabolical.

      Against such a weak team too.

      Maybe a good shout

    Early ideas on this lot?

    Heaton Jaku
    Alonso Brunt FunesMori Holebas Amat*
    Eriksen Siggy Phillips Fletcher Sanchez*
    Lukaku Kane Ibra*

    1 FT, 1.6 in bank

    a) fix Holebas/Amat
    b) lose Sanchez
    c) lose Ibra
    d) fix attacker + defender for a hit
    e) something else

    Cheers in advance

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years

      Sanchez to Hazard
      Amat to Coleman/Baines???

    3. NestorC
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      B or C

    4. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Personally, I have already done B for Hazard. My opinion only!

      Thanks everyone.

    6. Jedi_Reed
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      B if brought Sanchez in late, otherwise C. Look to get rid of Amat after that. Currently my plan.

    7. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez -> Hazard.

  3. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Is Amat/Holebas to Coleman worth a hit in the short term (GW26-29 minimum) to bench Fletcher and gain a GW28 player if it stays at 3 games?

    Defence is Alonso, Brunt, FunesMori, Holebas, Amat

    Cheers.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I'd probably play Fletcher. Extra funds could be handy elsewhere.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Money shouldn't be an issue for a while.

    2. FPL Bielsa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes Coleman likely clean sheet against Sun to repay the hit and he is also good GW 28 player. Would do for Amat rather than Holebas if you can.

    3. Paul
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nope...extra cash will be handy
      plus Holebas too expensive to be bench fodder

      1. Paul
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        oops yeah go ahead if for Holebas

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Amat > Coleman looks good! With Brunt & Alonso I presume you wont need to double up on Everton away to Spurs?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Could hide FM there.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Then I like that move. Worse case they all gain value whereas Amat brings nothing anymore.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Rough chance Chelsea play GW28 so would give another player too although Holebas will probably score negative points.

            1. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              If thats the case I might sell Holebas to avoid - points 😛

      Cheers all, over a week to bother with a decision.

    6. MTPockets
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Probably not when it's Fletcher, although pondering similar with Amat (and De Roon) but completely subject to cup games outrun.

      • The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yes I would go for it

    7. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Robben 1-0

      At least Sanchez won't get injured unless Arsenal get the ball.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        0.01% chance of injury then

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

        Hey, as d only mod who I saw on the front page, while doing the survey, I forgot to suggest that a way to create daily RMT articles for RMT comments will be better than having RMTs on every article. It makes d site less fun. Even on this survey article, dere are a bunch of RMTs. More discussions should be encouraged.

        If u could chip it in for me with mark. I can't redo the survey

        Get Hazard

      2. Jedi_Reed
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'd ship Sanchez over the 3 GW's, if I had him at a higher SV. Instead, I'm looking to do Ibra > Costa instead.

      Anyone knows how many times can you change your captain in UCL fantasy? Just once or after every gameday?

        After every game day.

    24. ShaunGoater123

      Afternoon all,

      Going to wait until after this weekends fixtures but would appreciate any thoughts on what to do this week. I have 2FT's but i'd like to only use one so that i keep the other rolling over to deal with GW28. I can get 11 out but Holgate is id be looking to do one trasnfer to provide a bit more security of a full team

      Heaton

      Holgate / Alonso / Evans / PVA

      Eriksen / Alli /Pedro / Lallana

      Lukaku / Carroll

      Pickford / Ibra / Jones / Sanchez

      I'm thinking Jones > Robertson / Maguire as they have a game in week 28. Obvious problem i have is my team value which is taking a hammering but i think / hoping that now is the time to wait for longwer on news rather then trying to preserve team value.

      What do you think?

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

        I think you're playing it well. Best to wait and if you don't want to ditch Sanchez and Ibra that's probably the best transfer... although you haven't said how much you have in the bank

        1. ShaunGoater123
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          ahh yes, sorry meant to put that on!

          i only have 0.1 ITB.

      2. GE
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Do you go Robertson or Maguire?

                I severely doubt I would need three guesses 🙂

    26. Lawrø
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      How's she looking, any thoughts? 😀

      Heaton
      Alonso / Coleman / Brunt / McAuley
      Sigurdsson / Alli / Phillips / Carroll
      Lukaku / Costa

      Pickford / Sanchez* / Ibra* / Amat*

      0.9m... so many options at the moment... I'm even considering the unthinkable and doing Amat --> Maguire and keeping both Ibra and Sanchez! 😀

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Great team
        Personally I would ditch Sanchez

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

        Amat out for a Hull defender is definetly worthwhile.

      3. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Nice. Amat > Robertson.

        1. tm370
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Looks grand - keep Sanchez and get Maguire. Why waste two transfers - one taking him out, and one bringing him back, when your team is so strong?

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

            Isn't that an argument to ditch him though? As the only things I'd change are Pickford/Heaton --> Jaku and Amat --> Maguire... I have 3FT before GW28 and only 2 places I'd realistically spend a transfer so I have one spare... if my team was weak I'd perhaps have more pressing areas to spend the transfer? I could role one FT for GW29 I guess... it's a bit of a conundrum

            Thanks for the input everybody 🙂

      Will Stanislas get back in the Bournemouth team? Not even an appearance from the bench in the last two games.
      It's not as if the team have been doing well without him.
      Considering a sideways move Stan -> King.

      1. Basil1977
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'm keeping Stan on my bench until gw 28 by then i'm hoping he will regain his place in the starting XI

      So is Niasse nailed?

      1. Il Papera
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Assume so with a Hernandez muscle tear!

      2. Jersey
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        can't say for sure . . . he just played 90 minutes for the first time last game.

        and Mbokani is close to fit again, so he has competition for the striker spot.
