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.

    Is it worth taking a hit when you are 15 points clear at the top of your ML.

    Point to note that the second place rival has his TC :/

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years

      Depends

    2. dhamphiir
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Depend upon transfer

    3. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Depends what the transfers are I guess.

    4. eamonhegg
      • 7 Years

      Yes! If it makes since

    5. willgriggsonfire
      • 7 Years

      No

    6. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      I doubt it,

  3. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    I have never seen it this busy 2 hours before the deadline what will it be like at kick off

    1. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Meltdown when Hazard starts and hauls and Gabbiadini bags a hattrick.

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 12 months ago

        Don't forget Alli on the bench

        1. barracuda
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 12 months ago

          Alli..hmmm...Could he be rested? I doubt.

      2. willgriggsonfire
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 12 months ago

        Nah. His confidence was shot.

    2. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Hello boss 😉 Would you advise pls? Would you bring Matip in for a minus 4? Other defs Holding, Stephens, Keane (will have to play Holding and thinking of changing Huth for Matip).

  4. wbm
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    I need two cheap defenders so pick two out of these or other suggestions (already have Stephens/Yoshida)
    8.5 cost total.
    I'm playing BB (I know I messed up not using it earlier) so security of start is important.

    A) M. Olsson (WBA)
    B) K. Naughton (WBA)
    C) F. Fernandez (WBA)
    D) N. Ake (SUN)
    E) M. Holgate (ars)
    F) R. Holding (EVE)
    G) Y. Benalouane (BOU)
    H) J. Tarkowski (WHM)
    I) A. Tuanzebe (CPL)

    1. willgriggsonfire

  5. eamonhegg
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Forester
    Alonso - Lovern - Moneral - Yoshida
    Sane - Erikson - Sanchez - Pedro - Coutinho
    Jesus

    Subs: Caberllo - Rashford - Gabbidini - Maguie?

    A) Yoshida > Gabbi
    B) Forster > Caberllo
    C) STICK?

  6. tjorvennn
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Who to strart:

    A: Gabbiadini
    B: Albrighton
    C: Stephens

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      C

  7. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Lallana + Hazard

    Coutinho + Vokes

    Thoughts guys?

    1. Carcaju
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      I would do it

  8. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Good to go?

    Hennessey
    Alonso Monreal Kompany
    Sanchez Eriksen Alli Coutinho Fabregas
    Kane Jesus

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 12 months ago

        cheers!

  9. VS10_
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Probably mentioned, but there is no Mustafi in Arsenal training pics from yesterday. Could have just missed out by the cameraman or could be rested having played 3 in a week after injury.

  10. Junior ⚽
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Ditch Alli or Hazard
    I'm leaning to the former.

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      I ditched Alli

  11. Pigsinblankets
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Righto, for one final time this season:

    Caballero
    Azpi, Yoshi, Holding
    Alli, Sanchez, Hazard, Coutinho, King
    Kane (c), Jesus

    Pickford, Stephens, Gabbi, Holgate

    G2G? Stephens benched over Yoshi/Holding?

    GL all!

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Ofc

  12. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    I can't seem to make a transfer.
    Any one else having problems?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years

      😉

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Yeah! Just waiting for some sort of 1.45 rumour carnage I think 🙂

  13. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Should we start posting the fake lineups earlier today seeing as it's the last week of the season?

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      1 month ban what will it matter now

    2. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Ha. Evil. Pure evil.

    3. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Yes.
      Courtois
      Azpi Ake Terry
      Moses Cesc Kante Alonso
      Pedro Bats Hazard

  14. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    King -> Siggy for -4?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      No way. King against a poor Leicester is gold.

    2. Bring Back Rutger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      No

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      no

  15. Shifty
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Quick fire round:

    A) Albrighton - Vardy (fancy LEI to show up and go all guns blazing)
    B) Fabregas - Vokes (FFS differentials)
    C) Albrighton - Sturridge

    1. Pigsinblankets
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      C

  16. enrico.palazzo
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Ozil or Hazard for Coutinho? (Free)

    Have Stephens and Albrighton as bench cover

    1. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Hazard. Significant rotation risk imo and ozil has been good recently

  17. Espen8
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Kane in for ?

    A: Jesus
    B: Costa

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Captain dilemma.
    Kane away to hull who play last prem game at home.
    Sanchezs goals have looked a touch lucky lately.
    Haz might not play.
    Costa may not play.
    Jesus is away, but city's attack looks amazing.
    Coutinhos and reds points could be spread with rest of team.
    Alonso captain? Certain 12 points?

  20. Manani
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    got
    yoshida, davies, alonso.

    is it worth my FT to get matip in??
    I have nothing else to use my FT for

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Not keen on LFC defenders me...

    2. Jamin
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Even if it is to boost bench might as well

  21. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    210 point lead, but 2nd has AOA chip left to play.

    I think he'll captain Ngolo Kante, should I block him with (C) Ngolo Kante?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Yes, best be safe

    Do we think Kane will win golden boot today? Done Chelsea/Kane double at the start of the season at 40/1

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years

    Anyone keeping Hazard?

    1. nkhoughton
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      yeah I am hoping those who have sold above my rank will regret it and i can rise

    2. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Me.

      Is he not starting then?

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Yes.

    4. dhamphiir
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      For now, it is yes
      But waiting for team bus to arrive at stadium and see if Hazard is with team or not

    5. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Me

  30. nkhoughton
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    If your chasing a top 10k finish, would you captain someone else instead of kane?

    Surely all those in the 10k will play it safe, I am 14 pts shy

    Shall I go for Coutinho Alexis Jesus or even Alonso over kane?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      What are your differentials?
