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!

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.

    Lmao they've read our comments and changed the prices.

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      who changed?

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Kolasinac, Zaha and Arnautovic went up.

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          still 7 for me

    2. Bambi

      this was all on purpose. FPL never make mistakes....

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks to FFS we once again have to deal with these increases. First sessegnon then Kola, then Ozil, then Arnie, then Zaha.. Enough already.

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years

      Who has changed? 😆

    Sokratis 5.5....you 're in my team baby.

  3. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    2.0m between Ozil and Mkhitaryan seems extreme. Looks like Arsenal could be a great source of value once the team is settled.

  4. Bambi
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    so they bumped up arnie and zaha by .5. any other changes people see?

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

      Ozil, Kola

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

        Mane down to 9m from 9.5m

        1. Bambi
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          ooooh that's a nice one. really makes mane more appealing than salah now imo

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

            Yeah I agree, 4m difference is a bit of a joke.

    2. Bambi
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      bailly gone up from 5.5 to 6

    3. Bambi
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      lovren up from 5 to 5.5

    4. Root
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Williams up by 0.5

    5. Root
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Moses up from 6 to 6.5

  5. mikess

    Can any Excel wiz do a sheet with 15 drop downs which tallies the total you spent?

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

      Wow - Just use =SUM(highlight the cells)

    2. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I can add up on Excel. I was looking at something a bit more interactive, essentially mimicking the fpl page. So when I change say De Gea to Fabianski the total is amended

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

      Do a vlookup() on the list of players

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

    Haven't seen anyone comment on the huge delta between Auba 11 & Laca 9.5

    1. Bambi
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      shhh. laca gonna be in my team.

    2. willl
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I think Laca is the better choice now, Auba was way ahead due to the Europe league situation, even though he was playing wide.

      Laca all the way.

      Incoming Random Name.

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

        Are they buying a new striker>? Haven't read so..

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

          Highly unlikely imo.

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Random Name to make an appearance shortly...

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

    A lot of tinkering going on already. Mikky, Jota looking like two I’ll be taking for sure, as well as TAA and Mendy

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

    Mane +4m or Salah...

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Mane mane

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

      Tough one especially with Salah hoarding set pieces

  9. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Funny how Kolasinac price is different on the pdf to the player list.. increased by 0.5 just because a few posted about him.. shambles this one.

  10. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Did Niasse get a price hike??

  11. Mysterion
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    No Rui Patricio?

    1. Rotation
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Awaiting international clearance or something. Basically not completely agreed yet is my understanding.

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

      Doesn't have international clearance yet.

      Expect him to be 5m.

    3. Mysterion
      • 6 Years

      Cheers

  12. delux
    • 11 Years

    still interested why my comments about Salah is mid and Zaha is forward were deleted twice, before official FPL twit

    1. Rotation
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      It wasn't. The whole article (articles) were wiped.

  13. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    How Kane kept his price from last season after just 217 points I'll never know.

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

      World cup winner adds 0.5m

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

      Should have listened to everyone telling you why yesterday

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        No one actually argued why except TM. They were just ready to disagree with me without any arguments (because they have none).

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

          Yet you were still wrong? Weird.

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Looks like you don't have any arguments either.

            I wasn't wrong. I didn't say I predict Kane to be lower. I said he should be lower. I knew FPL would overprice him.

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

              You should be happy then - he will have very high ownership and you will use your funds better elsewhere 🙂

              1. Cok3y5murf
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 10 months ago

                Of course. I am happy.

    3. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I suppose there is reason to believe that Spurs, having settled in at Wembley, will be a more efficient attacking force this time out. The failures of Morata, and to an extent Lukaku, and the lack of a true central 'striker' at Liverpool, all promote him as the option. Really, it's looking like him, Aub, and Aguero already as the best choices for goals, and Aguero still faces the threat of Jesus.

      Personally, I'll be looking at him early on and Aub too, when Arsenal's fixtures improve and we get a chance to look at them under Emery.

  14. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Thought Mendy would be cheaper.

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

      Cheaper than Walker i'm happy

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

    Mane & Bobby
    or
    Salah & 5.5m (Jimenez)

    Question of the summer!

  16. dicky2014
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Where are all of Fulhams players haha?

    1. Rotation
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Good point. Didn't notice that, only 12 of them?

      1. dicky2014
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Not a deep squad 🙂

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Contracts not signed is my guess

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

    Get an overall feeling of underpriced-ness - it feels quite easy to make a strong team - then again I haven't picked Kane or Salah

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

      I think this will be the choice really, can get a really strong team without but with...

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Hopefully it will increase the diversity of our squads rather, encouraging us to make our picks of the value options instead of their being only a few obvious ways to go. Could be wishful thinking though. It will backfire if any one or two of the underpriced players starts firing while the others end up being priced just right....

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

        Template will undoubtedly form after a few weeks.

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

          Sure but at the start of the season, the template is the least valuable it will be all season. Those who follow can be punished and find themselves a week late on many decisions. That said, I usually fall behind by going against the flow and play catch-up for the rest of the season 😀

  18. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Cheap cheap Chelsea mids and Giroud. I'm only at C (pdf by team) and it looks like we'll be spoilt for choice in midfield this season. People will finally be able to fill their preset 7.0m midlfielder slots 😀

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

      Eyeing up WIlshere &/or Shaqiri when they arrive!

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

        Wilshere for sure 🙂 Excited to start making a team, and arguing against people pushing a template cookie cutter onto people's dream teams 😆

      Fulham only have 12 players in the FPL price list
      What's that all about?

      1. Rotation
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Love how they act like they planned to release it now on twitter.... whilst missing at least half a team

    • FPL-(VAR)dy
      • 6 Years

      What is the maximum a players price has reached in FPL??

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 6 Years

        14 apparently

      Ramsey @ 7.5 vs Mkhi @ 7.0 will be very interesting

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

        Seems very cheap for Mhki. Hopefully Emery is a fan!

      WC FFL....thoughts?

      A Mbappe
      with 1 or 2
      B Griezmann
      With 3 or 4

      1 Lingard / 6.9m mid
      2 Rakitic / 6m mid
      3 Rakitic / 5m mid
      4 Lingard / 5.9m mid

      Struggling to think of a decent midfielder less than 6.9m tho...

      Just done an auto pick (for Sh!ts n giggles) and he's landed in my midfield.

      It's also given me Sturridge hahaha

      Wait, can see all sorts of bits n bobs not right so clearly still populating in FPL.
