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.

    Spurs lost to a team already relegated last year 5-1. Questions were asked and put a real damper on their season.
    I feel Poch is more determined this game than the Leicester and feel we will see a professional, sound performance to make up for last year and the doubters.
    Kane Capain seems ever more the right choice ahead of sanchez. I feel Henwick get 12- 15 pointer today!!!!

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Doesn't matter how determined the manager is, what matters is if the players are determined.

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Henwick lol

  2. Zizou
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Caballero Pickford
    Alonso Kelly Gibbs holgate yoshida
    Sanchez hardard Eriksen sane king
    Kane Gabbi Jesus

    I'm chasing 24pts

    1 Best way to get coutinho in
    2 anything worth -4pts
    3 bench king or Gabbi

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      2 hazard gabbi for cesc Sturridge. Bench king

    2. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Just Coutinho in for Hazard and bench Gabbiadini.

    3. All about the galacticos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      if chasing 24pts, take no hits and use as many differentials. then hope

  3. lickwidice
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    will we get any lineups before deadline?

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

      Unlikely

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Get your F5 button ready on twitter.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe 5-10 seconds before if we're lucky.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      We never do any other weeks, no different this week?

  4. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Play Willy or Pickford?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Willy for me

    2. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Willy

    3. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Im playing willy 😯

    4. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I had it on Pickford for bps and save points. But u reckon Willy will score more?

  5. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Do we think Gabbi will start ?

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

      I've ditched him for vardy. Gabadianni, Tadic and Barkley are players that have trolled me too many times. I'm never getting them again

  6. VDiesel26
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    A) Costa + Pedro > Coutinho + Llorente for -4 (Llorente will be on bench anyway)
    B) Costa + Pedro + King > Coutinho + Siggurdson + Llorente for -8 (Again Llorente will be benched)
    C) Other

  7. pedro-tacuara
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Currently have a 39 point lead in my ML, but i know rival has taken a 12 point hit so effectively 51 points. Best for me to not take a hit im sure? Still have 1 transfer left and did Haz > Coutinho earlier, was thinking Gabbi >Giroud and play it safe. Thoughts?

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

      Sit back and enjoy

      1. pedro-tacuara
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers

    2. pedro-tacuara
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Forgot to mention ill be playing BB aswell (pick, stephens, capoue, holgate). Not the best but should give me some extra leverage

      1. timski8000
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        This does change things.

        Why not keep gabbi and upgrade capoue. Can you get a fabregas, Pedro, sane, sterling in?

        1. pedro-tacuara
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Sadly I cant, thought about it. Selling Capoue would get me 6.3 in the bank. Can only think of bringing in Zaha

    3. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Do the second transfer too and relax

      1. pedro-tacuara
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks for the feedback!

    4. chewing
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Gabbi > Giroud and good to go if its free

    5. timski8000
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Have to think he has brought in coutinho so that was a good move.

      No hits is definitely the way to go.

      Gabbi to anyone seems sound, Giroud as likely as any.

      1. pedro-tacuara
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        He def did bring in Coutinho, and probably Giroud aswell if i know him well haha

  8. Rex Lapis
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Gabbiadini to Vokes worth a hit?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      No

    2. Long, deep breaths required

    3. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Hes been awful

    4. timski8000
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely not.

      It's one thing to take a hit for coutinho, but for vokes?!

  9. KUNingas
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    A) Llotente + Coutinho
    B) Giroud + Lallana

    If you kindly could share your opinion to help me winning my ML.
    1 FT . 0.2 itb / 35 points ahead / Triple Captain Chip available

    Team:
    Caballero
    Alonso, Gibbs, Davies
    Eriksen, Sanchez, Sané, Pedro, Tadic
    Jesus, Kane

    Pickford, Stephens, Gabby, Holgate

    Rival will play the Bench Boost Chip

    De Gea, Jaku
    Alonso, Walker, Kompany, Cahill, Lovren
    King, Sterling, Alli, Sanchez, Davies
    Jesus, Costa, Barnes

    At the moment I think to do Gabby -> Lorente and bench Tadic.
    Triple Captain Sanchez or Kane? Think rival will captain Costa or Sanchez.
    Should I try to cover his ManU or Liverpool defense?

    Thank you for your help and a great and successful day to all of you!

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Gabbi to llorente or vokes & bench tadic

    2. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      If you are sure about his Sanchez c, then TC Sanchez to block, otherwise kane,

    3. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      All sounds logical. TC Kane

    4. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    5. Yordan Letchkov
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Will do Gabby -> Lorente and TC Kane.

      nah, both will score early and ease to facile wins

    2. zotter
      • 16 Years

    Gabby to Giroud worth -4?

  28. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on the following moves for a hit

    Alli to Son
    Gabbiadini to Giroud

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, I can see the logic in that...

  29. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Which 3 to play :

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

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Alonso. Vert. Yosh

    2. VDiesel26
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I have a similar problem
      Alonso Holgate Davies Yoshida Stephens

      Probably going to go with Alonso Yoshida and Davies (Possible attacking returns)

  30. Torres76
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Best striker to replace Gabby

    1. Sturridge
    2. Giroud
    3. Llorente
    4. Vardy

    Others in my team are Kane and Jesus

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years

      1

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      punt on Sturridge
