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.

    Manolo to punish his sellers today?

    1. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years

      Unlikely.

      Quality top post.

      How ? With a red card ? 😀

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Probably more likely than him scoring. 😀

  2. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Lallana + Hazard

    B) Coutinho + Vokes

    Thoughts guys?

    Anyone else on Sturridge (c)?

    1. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Short on funds otherwise would have done it.

    2. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking to bring him in and to TC him.

      1. Mario Balofail
        • 11 Years

        Count me in too 🙂

  4. ankj70

    Costa and Gabbi -> Kane and Vokes for -4

    ML leader has Kane and has taken a -4 already

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Try differential like Sturridge

    2. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

  5. jimmy.floyd

    1 Captain?
    A Kaane
    2 Sanchez
    .
    ......................
    2 Bench one?
    A Alonso
    B Smith
    C Stephens
    D Gibbs

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends if chasing?

      If not A B

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Surely it depends what he's chasing.

    2. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane
      Smith

    3. Gommy
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Captain kane

      Obviously bench Gibbs, he won't be starting!

    2. jackx13
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Albrighton

  8. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Real dilemma on this:

    Do you expect Arsenal or Tottenham to keep a clean sheet?

    Then, Vertonghen->Matip or Monreal->Matip?
    I already have Cech

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs more likely imo

    2. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs more likely for cs

    http://www.rotowire.com/soccer/soccer-lineups.htm

    Concise list of potential line ups (from the yanks, I believe)

    I agree with all bar the Watford vs City line ups. Why do they have Nolito, Aleix Garcia and Iheanacho into start? Does this make the whole thing a terrible source or has KDB, De Jesus and Aguero been dropped? (Highly unlikely) - Am I answering my own questions here.

    Basically if KDB isnt playing I'm taking another hit for Coutinho.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looks a load of garbage to me

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They look shoddy to me, don't agree with quite a few

    3. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Someone posted this same sites lineups for the last round of games and they were hysterical. Had Janssen starting instead of Kane if I remember correctly.

      As a general rule of thumb I'd ignore anything that calls football "soccer" 😉

      1. Horlicks esq.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        hence (the yanks)

    4. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fair one. The Chelsea, United, Pool, Arsenal, Leicester, Palace etc all looked half decent shouts?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Mate, it's garbage, do not base your transfers on something like this

    5. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They are wrong - not done their homework.

      Sometimes they are decent - their daily play picks are often good if a little obvious. I think the issue is that football is secondary to another big daily play sports in America.

    6. tajulariff
      • 15 Years

      No Harry Kane

    7. Cookie Kid

  10. OldSchool
    • 16 Years

    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

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

    Subs: Caberllo - Rashford - Gabbidini - Maguie?

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

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Forster to Cab

  13. Viper
    • 16 Years

    What time would a team get together before a home game? Cesc was at home with the kids about an hour ago (Snapchat)

    (Talk about overthinking

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      😆

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Haha, yep..

        Still not decided whether to bring in him or Pedro

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      3pm kickoff, needs to arrive at the stadium at about 1pm

  14. nkhoughton
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    When Chasing a top 10k finish?

    Is now time to avoid a kane captain?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If you're miles behind yeah.

      1. nkhoughton
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        14pts

      2. nkhoughton
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        A lot above must have kane after the leicester game i went from 15 behind to 14 So i need a differential

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Thinking similar 16points of top 100. Might go Alli!!

  15. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Haz to KDB and Alli to Cou
    Is worth -4 hits?

    A. Yes
    B. No

    Thx you guys.

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just do first

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Or hazard to Coutinho

  16. Play2Win
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Guys who would you ditch for Coutinho - KdB or Hazard? I'm conflicted.
    Also triple capt - Sanchez or Kane?

  17. Mesh
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which transfer is better?

    A. Anichibe to Llorente
    B. Anichibe to Origi
    C. Stephens to Matip

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C

    2. Quinny___
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Origi. Liverpool have to score and win. Could mean they arent as denfensively solid

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Though risk he doesn't start imo

  18. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alli > Coutinho for -4?

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

  19. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    G2G?

    Willy
    Monreal Yoshida Alonso Davies
    Sanchez Coutinho King Sane
    Kane Jesus

    subs: Pickford Gabbi JWP Gibbs

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah looks solid,captain kane?

      1. _Gunner
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Think so, torn between Kane, Alexis or Couts

        1. Samwise the Brave
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'd go kane, Sanchez second, not feeling coutinho myself

  20. Samwise the Brave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    7 points behind in my mini

    Tadic,Gabi - bentake,king (-4)
    Tadic,Gabi,Alli - sturidge,king,lallana

    He's swapped Alli for coutinho

    Please help
    He also doesn't have a keeper

  21. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Start Yoshida or Stephens?

    Playing AOA with Alonso as other defender

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Stephens

    2. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yoshida

    3. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Stephens

    4. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      depends on ml rival

      Stephens more likely for Baps Yoshida for a goal chance albeit small

    5. Carcaju
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Stephens. More bonus

  22. iron2010
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Not enough Vardy in these teams. Hat Trick today ! He wants a move South !

    1. LeicesterA
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He really doesn't.

  23. Fuchs Mane Kante
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Forget the fan duel. Beat Granny and Jonty with no stats other than form this year. Lol

  24. LADY ARWEN'S ARMY
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Last question:
    For TC:
    A. sanchez
    B.kane
    C.jesus
    Already did alli to cout, is it worth doing hazard to fab (-4)
