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…

    Early impression: Prices are on the high side. Same formula. Same chips. Not exactly creative stuff is it.

    To keep interest things must innovate. I know my league friends are going to be bored already. Feeling subdued.

          High prices means different teams. Salad and Kane is basically impossible now which is great. Sterling not gonna be in every team etc.

          Same formula = great, it’s what we know.

          I’d like it if the chips were removed.

          I’ll play other games for different experiences, this game is great as it is!

      You think they're high? Personally seems bit too easy to get a nice team to me. Think the pricing is very nice, if not ever so slightly on the low side

      I listen to my youngest league player who is 14 and he is always complaining about the lack of involvement. For him the game is too static. His favourite time is playing his wildcards and he never gets anywhere in his leagues because of too many transfers each week. I tell him not to do so many but he wants to. For him the more chips the better.

            Laca/Firm/Zaha was my first draft, but I agree that Zaha could be an easy templater around here. Probably less so over all the FPL managers, though, who might prefer big name strikers or a 4.5-5.5er.
