FanDuel – Beat The Scout Final Day Contest

Today should be savoured – once the final whistles are blown, we wave goodbye to Fantasy Football for an excruciating few months – all the more reason to squeeze every bit of excitement out of Sunday’s action.

Fantasy Premier League is doubtless your main course but, if you’ve yet to try out FanDuel this season, we’ve set up one final exclusive contest to offer you an opportunity to get involved.

We hope to be partnering with FanDuel next season and we know that there is a good deal of the community who have played and enjoyed the game in its first term.

For today, you can register an account, make a deposit and take place in a Fantasy Football Scout contest that gives you the chance to humiliate both Jonty and myself for the chance to win £50 in cash.

This “Beat the Scout” contest is free to enter.

Just register, deposit some funds in your account for next season and pick your line-up.

Everyone who surpasses the score produced by the team that Jonty and I are putting together will be entered into a draw to win £50 in cash – that’s cash, not credit.

Those already registered can also take part but, if you are new to the game, be sure to soak up the Weekly Shop and FanDuel Focus articles published earlier in the week.

They should help you with the nucleus of your line-up, plus you can tweak once the teamsheets come out, right up until the 3pm kick-offs.

Our current line-up is below – although be warned – the discussion is ongoing and Kane is coming in.

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

    Start one:
    A)Vertonghen
    B)Monreal

  2. Offs!de
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Who is less likely to start
    Hazard or Gabbi?

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Haz

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      I'd say Gabbi with Austin and J Rod lurking

    3. zotter
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      But would put haz 30pc. Gabbi 50pc

    4. sk018
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Gabbiadini

  3. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Costa --> Kane(c) for -4pts, Yay ot Nay

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      If defending yes. If chasing no

    2. Quinny___
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      No. This is Costas farewell match against a poor sunderland

  4. Darbs
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Sticking with Gabbiadini, but with 8 points to make up do I take -4 to bring in Coutinho for Sterling?

    Ta.

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Has rival got Coutinho

      1. Darbs
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Yes. And Firmino. I have no Liverpool players.

  5. Quinny___
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    How many total hits for the season did everyone take so. I made 48 transfers so 6 hits for a 64k rank and hopefully higher 🙂

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      8 hits for me, 4 in the last 4 gameweeks as didn't have a wildcard left

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      16 hits, -64

      5.5k rank

    3. Il Papera
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Made 74 transfers with 39 hits (yikes!) and sitting at 10410 as things stand. Did it to boost value wherever possible and it meant I could finish with a strong 15 with all the heavyweights.

    Hit me with questions. I'm here to help.

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Is there a meaning to life?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation.

      2. BobBradleysOpportunity
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        ML titles perhaps

    2. 8ball
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Haz to Coutinho or
      Son to Coutinho (-4)

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        The latter. You don't want to go without Haz vs Sunderland.

    3. sk018
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Captain when chasing
      A) Sturridge
      B) Jesus

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Sturridge!

    4. HD7
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Hi 🙂

      Leader is within 3 points, was 100 points behind 3 weeks ago (small matter he has the bench boost but I I will give my best)

      My team: after Hazard to Coutinho

      Cech
      Alonso Kompany Yoshi Stephens
      Sanchez Coutinho Ali King
      Kane Jesus

      Subs: Pickford Gabbi Albrighton Smith

      Leader Team: (It shows he made 2 transfer, probably Coutinho again and maybe Kane to copy me...

      Cech
      Stephens Mawson Holding
      Sanchez Hazard Ali Sane Eriksen
      Jesus Kaku

      Subs: Jaku Barnes Tarkowski Smith

      Wondering if it is profitable to make Gabbi to Giroud for -4 and play 3-4-3 or just leave it like this ...

      Your suggestions in order to complete an epic win ?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Tough one. I would leave it as it is. Maybe play Albrighton to get a differential over him. If teams are too similar then it's advantage him.

        1. HD7
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          Yeah I know. He was on one transfer but an hour ago it was 2... its good he takes a hit but Its essential he doesnt get Kane

    5. Lazerball
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      How essential is coutinho?
      Do I transfer out alli or de bruyne to get him? Rest of my team looks good

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        I would sell Alli if it was for free. If for hit then it is a no go.

    6. Sangomango
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Gabbi to origi
      Or bench gabbi and play Yoshida instead

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Play Yoshi. Stoke are horrible away. He also has the goal threat.

    7. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      A)Haz > cout/son
      B)Bert > matip

      Who do I bench?

      Hazard, Ozil, Alli, Fabregas, King
      Kane, Costa, Jesus

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        B

        Bench Cesc I guess.

    8. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Better pick? Tekkers, pedro, giroud, willian, any fwd max 8.3 or mid max 7.8....

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Wijnaldum for the ultimate differential.

  7. barracuda
    • 7 Years

    Who is going to dance in the kitchen at 18:00?? 🙂

    1. zotter

      Klopp

      1. barracuda

        Ou yeah 🙂

  8. woody3260
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Think Conte prefers Willian to Pedro in the big cup games

    1. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      So willian or pedro this gw?

      1. woody3260
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Want Willian, but he may be rested

  9. sk018
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Chasing

    A) Son
    B) Fabregas

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      B

  10. 8ball
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Hazard to Coutinho or
    Son to Coutinho (-4)

  11. Winks Club
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    A: Alonso --> Clyne
    B: Monreal --> Clyne
    B: Hazard --> De Bruyne

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      First B

  12. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Will Giroud play?

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Yes

    2. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      very likely

  13. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Which 2 to play:

    Monreal (EVE)
    Yoshida (STO)
    Stephens (STO)
    Vertonghen (hul)

    Opinions appreciated!

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Vert, Yoshida

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Thanks. Arsenal have been tight at hte back lately and Monreal does have an attacking threat.

    2. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Monreal Yoshida

  14. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Where is the Alli being rested news coming from?Any reliable sources?

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Think it's purely as Eriksson got rested Thursday. 75 pc he will play imo

    2. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      No. People guessing

    3. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Nowhere. It's just speculation on here because Eriksen was benched on Thursday.

    4. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      People trying to justify to themselves their terrible Alli to Coutinho transfer 😉

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        You think it's a bad transfer?

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          The transfer is ok if no pressing issues in isolation and not for a hit 🙂

  15. Ian Davis
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Siggy or Son?

    1. Artorias
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Son

  16. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Can't believe people are asking if they should bring in a defender for a hit in GW38 😆

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

      😀

    2. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      I just want to save my FT for next season

    3. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      why not, each to their own 🙂

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Only worth it if defender has attacking potential imo. Like Terry. MAYBE matip

      2. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Even if the player you transfer out blanks and the player you got in for a hit gets a clean sheet, you would still be break even...

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Yep I have 8 games in a Acca for over 2.5 goals today, only see Man Utd and the Saints game as potential low-scoring matches

  17. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Have a FT to use - which makes more sense:

    A) Caballero -> Mignolet
    B) Monreal -> Matip

    Opinions appreciated!

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Neither tbh

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Can stretch to any keeper or defender.

        Currently:
        Caballero Pickford
        Alonso Yoshida Stephens Vertonghen Monreal.

        1. Viper
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          That's basically my backline too, I wouldn't sell any. Look further up the field for a change imo

    2. zotter
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Both sideways

    3. zotter
      • 14 Years

    4. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      neither imo. no other options?

  18. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Chasing 21 pts, have two FTs

    A) Haz + Anichebe > Sturridge + bench fodder
    B) Haz + Evans > Coutinho + Matip

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Who is saying Alli is being rested?

    1. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Eriksen owners, and people needing a reason to get Coutinho.

    2. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      All speculation based on nothing but the fact Eriksen was benched on Thursday.
