Pre-Season

FPL 2018/19 pre-season page is now live on FFS

Fantasy Premier League pre-season is well and truly underway at Fantasy Football Scout now that our official ‘Pre-Season Tab’ is live on the website.

You can find it by clicking on ‘PRE-SEASON‘ on the toolbar above, or by CLICKING HERE.

Head over there now to check out all the FPL content we’ve produced so far this summer including Scout Reports on new signings, Moving Target articles on those who have switched allegiances as well as detailed research and analysis into the promoted sides and those back for another campaign in the top flight.

You can also find the complete pre-season fixture list for all 20 clubs. Southampton are the first Premier League side to play a pre-season fixture and as more and more of their rivals follow suit we’ll start adding the Scout Notes on those matches there so you can get an accurate fix on the predicted line-ups, goal-scorers and assisters for Gameweek 1.

We’ll be constantly updating the page all summer long so make sure you keep coming back to it. Every time there’s a new transfer who could do well in FPL or a pre-season encounter is played, you can read all about it there.

We already know several FPL prices for the new season and the game itself is expected to launch very soon so make sure you make the most of our content this summer!

World Cup Data

We’re delighted to offer World Cup data as an early addition to our regular season offering to help those playing Fantasy games over the summer.

We’ve secured Opta data, not only for the tournament itself, but also from the Qualifying Rounds for Europe and South America and for international friendlies involving the participating nations. This includes all the matches played right up to the tournament kick-off.

Just to stress, this World Cup offering comes packaged with the regular Fantasy Football Scout membership.

Check out this new trailer detailing the World Cup content below…

      Arnie a forward. Josh King still a forward.

  8. Pierce34

    Looks like Fulham will be playing 2-7-1 then.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years

      Maybe you're an attention seeker?

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years

        lol yeah of course I forgot that

  11. Pierce34

    I don't get it, why is everyone obsessed with IDs?

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years

      Commitment 🙂

    2. How I met your Mata
      • 8 Years

      It's not important but some people jus like to have a low one

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years

      The average age here is under 15

      1. willl

        im 15 and a half actually

      2. Adams6
        • 10 Years

        I'm 45 and I do like to keep my ID in three figures. Haha

      3. the snazzy viking

        part of the fun, don't pull other people down with you 🙂

    4. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Why is anyone obsessed about anything? I don't think anyone really cares that much, just something to do. Miserable gits can just ignore it - it will blow over in a few minutes.

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        spot on

    5. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Quicker to type

  12. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Is it just me or are the player shirts more 3D? Have they put on weight over the summer months?

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      yeah they feel quite bulky

  13. How I met your Mata
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Is it just me or is anyone a bit dissapointed with prices?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      If you are disappointed, it's a harder/better game.

      1. How I met your Mata
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        True true brings out the better players

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      In what way?

      1. How I met your Mata
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Feel like midfielders lik hazard and Sanchez who had poor season last year are way too expensive even tho they may do it this year

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Don't buy them then? There are about 400 players, you only need 15.

    3. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I feel like they're a bit on the low side, but generally pretty balanced

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      They seem great.

      I like that defenders seem a bit cheaper this year. Cedric at 4.5m, Kolasinac at 5.0, Kompany/Bailly/Bellerin at 5.5!

      Mkhitaryan is an odd one at 7.0m

      1. How I met your Mata
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        it's mainly midfielders that have annoyed me

  14. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Ian Dash with ID 1, appropriate 🙂

    1. Make Arrows Green Again

      Ha, nice find 🙂

  15. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years

    Is it just me or is it not just me?

  16. FPL ZB

    Schelotto is going to have a seriously high ownership

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Does he play?

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Bong is very old now!

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 7 Years

          Bruno even

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yep. We'll just need an Amex Express to know the days Bruno is taking off.

    3. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah looked very attacking last season. Dunk and Duffy with their 'goal threat' though.

  17. french holiday

    first drafts please

  18. ronty

    2. JAC THE CAT

      Only top 100 any season.

  19. FPL ZB

    Demarai Gray could be a big pick if Mahrez does move

      Too much Arsenal for me. Shaw?? Not sure about Wood either

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        If Ashley Young is at the world cup much longer I can see Shaw starting the first few, will transfer out after.

        Got the GKs nailed 😀

        I like it. Worried about Kompany's starting place with his injury record and I'm going without Arsenal until GW3

        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        And nobody has responded 😀

        This is why RMT threads don't work

        1. Eden Wizard
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Guilty! I just pinged one in main thread 🙄

            • 11 Years

          But they do give you a chance to look at a number of other people's teams, and that might sometimes give you a few ideas about changes you could make to your own.

    8. Oven Glover

      Anyone else going midprice up top?

      1. Eden Wizard

    Be wary of Cheryshev. Dzagoev trained today albeit with some exercise restrictions and says he is fit. I think Dzagoev will probably start on the bench, but with the game a couple of days away, there's every chance he starts.

  23. Piggs Boson

    If Mahrez started every game at City he could be the highest scoring midfielder. But with Sterling and Sane around that seems unlikely.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      DSilva seems the one.

    2. A.T
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Sounds bonkers but my guess is Sterling is most under threat.

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Sterling to move LW inside forward competing with Jesus. Sane & Bernie to rotate RW inside forward. Kun nailed 😆

    3. Eden Wizard
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Mahrez long term Silva replacement. Bookmark it.

  24. Oven Glover
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    3 x City
    3 x Pool
    3 x Palace

    Daniels, Hughes, Sess, Ward, Pickford/Stekelenburg.

    Done!
