FanDuel

Introducing the Free FanDuel Survivor Contest

For the first half of April, we have teamed up with FanDuel to launch an exclusive free-to-enter “Last Man Standing” style contest, spanning the next four Gameweeks.

Called “Fantasy Football Scout Survivor”, this latest tournament differs from FanDuel’s distinct weekly and daily contest format as it covers a number of Gameweeks, with competitors seeking to survive through to the final round.

The format for “Survivor” will be instantly familiar to anyone who has participated in Fantasy Premier League “Last Man Standing” tournaments.

After each round of fixtures, those managers that rank in the bottom 50% of scores will be eliminated, with the top half marching on to the next stage. That continues until the ultimate winner is crowned – the highest scoring manager in the fourth round of fixtures.

Existing FanDuel customers, as well as those new to the game, are free to take part in this contest, although it is worth noting that this is only available to UK residents.

There are 300 team slots available and entries are limited to one per FanDuel account, so be sure to claim your spot in this exclusive free-to-enter contest.

Also, for new customers that register ahead of this tournament, FanDuel are giving away a free £5 credit, which can be accessed by using the promocode SCOUTFIVER when signing up via this link.

If you’re building a FanDuel lineup for the first time, we recommend taking a look at our strategy guide that examines which players to target in the various positions.

Getting Started

Click here and pick your FanDuel lineup for the first round, taking place in Gameweek 30.

Once your lineup is complete, you will either need to register an account or log in.

If you’re registering for the first time, Don’t forget to use the promo code “SCOUTFIVER” to claim your free credit.

When your line-up is entered, you can log back in and edit it, right up until the kick-off in the first match via the “upcoming” tab.

Should your team qualify for each next round, you will find a dummy line-up available, allowing you to tinker ahead of the next set of fixtures via the ‘upcoming’ tab in the FanDuel lobby.

Schedule and Prizes

The competition takes place over Gameweeks 30 -33, with the deadline for entries set for 12:30pm Saturday, April 1.

Here is the full list of rounds and the number of teams involved in each:

  • Round one – Saturday 1st April – 300
  • Round two – Saturday 8th April – 120
  • Round three – Saturday 15th April – 60
  • Grand Final  – Saturday 22nd April – 25

The winner is the competitor with the highest round four score, who will receive a £30 Amazon voucher and a £20 FanDuel credit.

The highest scorer in rounds one to three will receive a free entry into the following week’s Fan Favourite competition.

    Definite leg break. You know it's bad when the don't even replay it.

    1. Sif
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Was just thinking this...

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You could see the reaction of the other players. Poor fecker

  2. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Tough guy Coleman

  3. Spike ⚽️
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Coleman reacted to that tackle very bravely

  4. Netley Lucas
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Nestorovski (68' minutes, 73' minutes) for those who have him in Daily 11's 😉

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Terrible news about Coleman, didn't mean to sound insensitive.

  5. Lostrich
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    holy **** that could be a career ender. Absolutely shocking.

    So gutted for Coleman. Just an absolute horror injury.

  6. Geoff

    We wanted something to talk about. But never like this

  7. Neto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Coleman ownership 19.4%

    1. Crow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Seriously.

      1. Sif
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I did check too TBF. Not out of spite but to see how it would effect the game, which it will.

    2. The Orienteer - find me in …
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Just gone down (sadly).

    3. JJJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Holgate

  8. Fergies fledgling
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Well, that's Coleman out for the season

  9. Geoff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bad tackle or freak accident tackle?

    1. agueroooooney
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Horrible tackle

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Horrific tackle with a horrific outcome. Poor Seamy 🙁

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah 🙁

        Obviously there are FPL implications but for now I'm not going to think about it.

  10. agueroooooney
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bale should have been sent off for his potential leg breaker on O'Shea seconds before that tackle on Coleman, just because of who he is he didn't get a red. Would have prevented the leg break too

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      BS. Bale's one was momentum when trying to score.
      Have you ever watched or played football before?

      1. agueroooooney
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I don't care what momentum he has or what he was trying to do, studs high going over the ball into O'Shea's planted leg, could have easily been a leg breaker

      2. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry, that was a bit OTT. I'm a bit freaked out after watching all that unfold.

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He got a yc and is out of the Seriba game
      I hope Tadic tares them a new ****hole

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nonsense

    4. agueroooooney
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Should have had another yellow there, more ref bias

    5. Toby Lerone
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It wasn't onto osheas planted leg though. Completely different tackles

  11. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Get well soon Coleman - I wish you a speedy recovery.

    Please let me know when it's soon enough to ask if Funes-Mori now starts.

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Either him or Holgate at RB.

  12. Somalion
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Was driving home during the first half and the commentary on the radio was saying if the ref didn't start taking control of some of the tackles in this match somebody would get very badly hurt.

    Gutted for Seamus. Hope it's not as bad as it looked. Certainly won't help Koeman's relationship with O'Neill either.

    1. ♤TeddyBear♤
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Have to agree, ref did not put his stamp on the game atol with early tackles.

      Usually is Ireland dissing them out but Taylor needs to have a long hard look at himself

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah sounded that way. Walters got away with a blatant elbow on Allen too apparently? This is the biggest issue about officiating standards, bad decisions are one thing but allowing tackles to escalate to leg breakers is just unacceptable.

  13. Smoky Johnson
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Baines > Valencia

    Do it now or wait?

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wait

    2. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Of course wait. This Coleman injury literally tells you to wait. Games to be played.

    3. Spike ⚽️
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Common sense says wait

    4. Fergies fledgling
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wait. Coleman will be flagged so isn't exactly going to drop soon.

    5. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      After what happened to Coleman, I would wait

  14. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Southampton defender best Coleman replacement?

  15. Sess!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I don't mean this in bad form but here's the incident for anyone that missed it:

    https://twitter.com/Donners82/status/845384713258913793

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Oh sh*t that's horrific 🙁

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ugh. That's not a great tackle.

    3. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ew you can really see his leg breaking

    4. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus wept. Poor lad.

    5. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nasty 🙁

    6. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Truly Awful

      I wish him well poor guy

    7. Ronny Hotdog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Horrible. Really horrible. Poor Seamus

    8. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like the right leg flips loosely like a doll leg as he spins on the ground.

    9. drughi
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      awful

      1. Kalou
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Worse than Larson's?I can't look...

  16. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Feel so bad for Coleman. Hope he recovers from that fully. Looks really really bad

  17. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Neil Taylor is a wee rat.

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      That's a bad challenge

  18. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Just seen the Coleman incident. My word that tackle was horrific. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

  19. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Christy has look good any time he has got the chance i hope he can keep it up going forward

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He looks a bit raw

    2. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Good aside from whenever he canons a cross at the first defender.

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why is Williams smirking :/

  20. Rhinos
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Coleman flagged at 25%, he's not Alexis.
    Get well soon Seamus

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wtf 25% . Seriously.. his leg was about hanging off.

    2. bojack
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Bert Trautmann would've been just as appropriate for those of us of a certain vintage.

  21. bojack
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Not seen the tackle only read about it, hope he is back fit for the beginning of next season and it's not any more serious than that.

    Brings to mind David Busst.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Busst's injury was the worst football injury I've ever seen.

      Schmeichel was physically sick on the spot when he saw it in that game.

      1. bojack
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I don't remember Dennis Irwin coming in for much criticism at the time. I may be wrong. In the age of social media, YouTube and everything else it seems.judgement and condemnation are instant rather than mrasured.

        1. bojack
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Measured.

          No idea whether Taylor meant what he did and i wont watch to find out.

        2. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          It was a pure accident. Busst got sandwiched between the two of them (Irwin and McLair I think) and just landed badly. His leg snapped like a twig.

      2. Tommy J
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I was at that game-it was the 'noise' you heard just created stunned silence around the whole stadium.

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I can believe it.

        2. bojack
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Christ. That'll stay with you.

          I remember when Juninho broke his leg playing for Atheltico (i think). My dad and i were watching on TV and like you say, the noise was horrific.

      3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Remember that but I've seen worse. Few on YouTube where the player dies.

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Some college football (NFL version) injuries pretty bad too.

      4. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed - compound fracture.

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      and another Irishman, Jim Beglin.

  22. A.T
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What was Williams reaction to the tackle, I heard he was moaning at the ref for sending Taylor off. True?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Unlikely as it was his team mate injured

      1. A.T
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I know it doesn't sound right.

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You can kind of see it in the clip posted above. Maybe he didn't realise the extent of the injury at that point

      1. A.T
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'm sure he didn't. I'm reading it on Twitter.

  23. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Everyone asking whether the tackle was bad. Our network didn't show a replay of the incident, which does not bode well.. The players looked pretty alarmed after it as well :/

    1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ah they've shown it now post-game.. That looks like a leg-break.

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        100% imho , I really really hope I'm wrong.

  24. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Just showed a replay on RTE. That leg wobble. Jesus christ...

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Saw it live, knew it straight away by the projection of his leg.

  25. @fpl_phenom
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    WEll that makes the Coleman to Walker transfer all the more straight forward...
    Coleman won't play again this season, terrible tackle

  26. HVT
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Gutted, absolutely gutted for Seamus, it was a horrific tackle.
    He was having a brilliant season for club and country, such an wonderful lad-everything good that should be seen and played by a professional footballer.
    Devastated for Coleman.

    1. A.T
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Well said. He seems an absolute Gent.

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, terrible shame. Hope he recovers

  27. Mince n Tatties
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Evening Lads n Lassies

    So the Coleman Injury now means the DGW 34 Transfers can now commence...

    Coleman to Valencia
    Antonio to Ramirez

    Aye or Nut?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wait. What's to say the same won't happen to them next week.

      1. Mince n Tatties
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Absolutely right Hoo Noo Broon Coo

  28. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If you did someone to that on the street you'd be locked up. I know football is a contact sport but that was an awful challenge. Not the first time Neil Taylor has been reckless either. Almost put Kyle Walkers eye out early on in the season.

    Feel awful for Coleman.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      To be fair there's an awful lot of similar tackles that don't quite connect.

      Not excusing it in any way but there are a lot of tackles that could break legs and fortunately don't.. eg Dele's tackle v Gent.

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You wouldn't try to tackle someone on the street.

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Depends what Street your on to be perfectly honest

  29. Now I'm Panicking
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    It was an awful tackle, sure, but just as bad as Alli's for Spurs the other week - is weird how sometimes legs just snap and other times they don't - guess a lot of it is down to "luck" - hope Coleman can recover from this 🙁

    1. bojack
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Guess it's angle, speed, where the impact happened and if the leg was in contact with the ground.

      I seem to remember Shearer's bad injury was just one where he got his boot caught as he fell somehow. He was out for ages.

    2. tutankamun
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Seen a lot worse tackles

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It really is down to luck. Most of the time the other guy is fine, but every so often this will happen.
