Today we officially launched our pre-season guide page for build-up to the new season.
You can now access this via the main menu at the top of the page on desktop and via the slide-in on mobile and tablet. The pre-season tab has temporarily replaced the team news item.
This pre-season guide is something we run and maintain every season, with the aim to give you a complete summary of each team’s progress throughout their summer friendlies.
We list all the currently published fixtures and, as matches are played, we will link both to the club’s official report and also to the relevant scout notes page providing details for that match. We will also supply at a glance goalscorers and, where possible, assists on the round-up page.
As the friendlies progress, we will collect the key Scout Notes for each team and sum up the form players, listing their statistics achieved.
During this time, we will also re-launch our Scout Notes articles which provide summaries of the previous day’s friendly matches, including our take on the tactics employed and the events that took place.
Watford put out a development squad for their encounter with Woking on Saturday, so, as it stands, the major friendly matches look set to start on Monday July 10, with Stoke City’s tour of Switzerland getting underway. Further fixtures follow on Wednesday and then ramp up next weekend.
Throughout these matches, we will record every minute played by every player in a bid to round-up our coverage with a summary, not only of the best performers, but also those who saw the most action and are most likely to fit and firing for the opening fixtures.
The pre-season guide also acts as a hub for all our major summer articles. We collect all the Scout Reports, Moving Targets and team based articles for each club and list and link to them here.
So, if you missed an article or are pondering the potential of a new signing, check this section and, hopefully, we’ve got it covered for you.
If you are aware of any friendly match fixtures currently not listed, or would like to make a request for any other additions to our pre-season coverage, please drop us a line at support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.
