It’s been a while since we added to the team and, given that we’re still going and this Fantasy Football thing is kind of taking off, we believe it’s time we added to the squad – so effectively this is the beginning of our scouting mission!

To begin with, what we’re really looking for most of all is “talent” – namely Fantasy Football obsessives who are excited by the idea of leaving the stands, getting out onto our pitch and playing an active role in the site or wider community.

Obviously, there are some pre-requisites but, for the initial search, we’re not focusing on a specific position, so your skills could be from different fields:

  • Maybe you can write Fantasy Football articles.
  • Maybe you’ve created and managed your own Fantasy Football site and now want to be part of a team.
  • Perhaps you have experience in a Fantasy Football community or even any community.
  • Or you could run a Twitter or YouTube channel.

If you can do any of those things or, amazingly, perhaps all of them, then we’d love to hear from you.

The nature of the role will depend on the person and skillset. We have a core team who’ve been with us for years, so we’re a loyal and flexible company to work with if it’s a good match.

Obviously we’d kick-off with a trial and then likely look at a part-time contract, so you’d need to be happy with freelance work to begin with at least, but if things go well this could extend into a much longer-term deal.
Even if you’re not looking for a gig, but you’ve just fancied writing an article a week and have an idea to pitch us, then please get in touch.

As a company, we work remotely for much of the time but, ideally, we’d meet and work together on occasion, so being willing and able to work in London from time to time would also be a big advantage.

If all that sounds interesting and you’d like to put your name forward, please drop us a line at jobs@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk with some indication of what you could add to our line-up and if possible examples of relevant previous work – be it a link to an article, website, Twitter channel or YouTube channel. CV’s are good too but not essential.

N.B. In our experience, this process can take some time and, as we’re in the middle of the season, we may be slow responding to applications, so please be patient.

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

        You don't do stuff like this for the money. It's more a passion

          What if you are passionate about money

    Currently on schedule to have 8 players for GW 31.

    What to do with Otamendi?

    A) Hold until GW 31 as City have 1 good fixture and bring in someone like Schindler for the blank
    B) Move to Maguire/Arsenal/Swansea now as two good fixtures but no GW31
    C) Shift now for WBA defender as they have Ok fixtures and GW31

    1. Hazardous1983

      I've got tickets and just rung up and there said the 95% confident it will go ahead! So no chance it will be called off

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

        Sounds like a 5% chance to me 😉

    How do I use my FT's? Downgrade Alonso?

    Pickford
    Alonso- Otamendi-Jones-Robertson
    Salah-Sterling-Son-Walcott
    Kane-Firmino

    Elliot-Ogbonna-Ibe--Quaner

    2FT, 0.0

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Alonso > Davies
      Ibe > Shaqiri

  12. HD7
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    De Gea
    Ota Vert Alonso
    Sterling Shaq Salah Deloufeu
    Firmino Kane Wilson

    Subs: Elliot, Ogbona, Obiang, Mbemba

    Delofeu to? 9.4 ITB

    Walcott or Siggy my best best?

    Hope Vert and Sterling play...

    Live in London and have a worrying obsession with Fantasy Football.
    Even gave article writing a few years back before work became overwhelming.
    Dream job.

    1. Yozzer

      Get applying then

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      So you're the one to blame for the Andy Carroll failed bandwagon a couple of years back?

      I jest, but you should seriously apply.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        HA, I hold my hands up, ‘‘twas my fault.
        Although Antonio did go on a bit of a run.

  14. Goat

    How is the weather in London people? Any chance tomorrow’s game will be off?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Still snowing. It’s pretty deep in Hammersmith.
      I doubt it’ll get called off. Only one game to focus on.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Transportation disruption might force it off though. It might not matter if the pitch is okay. Everyone seems to lose their minds when a little white stuff falls from the sky.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          As most of the travel is based underground it should be ok.

          1. Athletic Bilbo
            • 10 Years

      There will be a call made on it tomorrow morning it is in the balance i reckon but i hope it goes ahead because i have no Arsenal or City cover.

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 17 Years

      I don't want it, as I have 3 Man City players and a benchful of bagels with Daniels and Naughton on there - but if I was Arsenal I'd call it off. I'm sure they'd much rather use their blank Saturday on March 17th to play the game, and Man City would probably feel similar. I know they have to factor in those that have already travelled, particularly from overseas, though.

      1. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        myself i would like it postponed... i have sterling and otamendi... but lingard on the bench

        my ML rival has aguero so a postponement could be quite helpful

        im sure we will find out soon enough though...

    I have a particular set of skills that could revolutionise this website.

    For a start, on my watch, there'd be no more slacking or moonlighting on rival streams from that Galway chap. A strict, hoodie-free uniform policy would also be implemented with all public facing members of staff required to be clean shaven.

    In a shameless attempt to buy universal support from the community, I'd also scrap goals imminent during my first 100 days in office. 🙂

        Same here, 2 points for me. Disappointing GW for me ending in a worst way possible. KDB to save my GW, surely game will be postponed now.

    Bit behind on current affairs - are we shaping up for 1 DGW - GW 37 or more?

  23. Tosa86
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    My Actual team is:

    Pope - Foster
    Hegazi - Smalling - Ward - Dunk - Davies
    Salah - Deulofeu - Shaqiri - Milivojevic - Gross
    Aguero - Lukaku - Firmino.

    FH: 1
    Bank: 3.4

    In current GW i changed sterling with Shaqiri.
    Now...my doubts are:

    1) Change Aguero with Kane, because Gabriel Jesus returned?
    2) Change lukaku with kane?
    3) for 31 GW how i can change deulofeu?
    4) change lukaku,dunk --> kane, robertson - 4
    5) change aguero, dunk --> kane, roberston -4?

    What's this rumour that the Arsenal-City game will be postponed tomorrow?

    Does that mean I will get Tomkins 3rd sub points?

    This is probably going to go down quicker than Epic Fail's missus but get me on the team and I could provide the whole FFS community free HD streams on Matchday.

    I suggest mark offers the post without interview.
    This place really needs someone who goes against the norm and isn’t afraid to be seen as different.
    Someone who looks beyond the superficial layers of fantasy and has the respect of the whole community.
    Someone who stands up for the small people in our society, the voice of the oppressed, who marches to the beat of his own drum with pride.
    A man who thinks outside the box, in fact rumour has it he has never ever been in the box.
    Who’s written word makes him appear to be the Oscar Wilde of fantasy.
    Ladies and gentlemen I give you

      I know it depends on tonight but Son owners, whats the plan?
      I dont have money itb and have an eye on Arnie and the switch for the next two could pay off. How many minutes, if any, does Son need to play tonight to over tip the risk balance for him not to start vs Hudds?

      I think Ruth would be ideal for the job but his distance from London could be a problem but i dont see how this could not be hurdled in the era of the interweb.

      I miss Ruth's articles and contribution a lot, like you say thinks outside the box and has a good angle on things.

    Sterling out it seems 🙁 With Ota and Kun also in the team, I guess I should hope for a cancellation to get Mariappa on as second on my bench.
