This season, we are running a Fantasy Football Scout league on Superbru’s Premier League Predictor game.

It’s free and fun to play, there are cash prizes on offer every week – including £50,000 if you can predict all 10 matches in a round – and it will also help to sharpen your Fantasy Football thinking ahead of the weekend.

Many of your Fantasy decisions are based on your predictions about what will happen in each match. For instance, you may end up captaining Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) because you predicted that Liverpool will thrash Cardiff, or you pick a Chelsea defender because you don’t think Huddersfield will score against them.

By going through the process of making predictions and entering them on Superbru, it will help to provide clarity in your team selection for that round.

Furthermore, you’ll also be adding your wisdom to the crowd. Hutch_James wrote a preview for each Gameweek last season, using the aggregated predictions from the Superbru community. Those predictions performed better than 99% of individuals in the game, proving that the collective knowledge of football fans can be greater than one person’s individual knowledge.

Please get involved and lend your own predictions to the community, and Hutch will return with the series again this year.

Scoring system

The scoring system is simple but smart, and designed to reward accuracy.

Prizes

You could win up to £50,000 depending on the number of exact scores you can predict in each round of 10 matches!

– 10 exact scores: £50,000
– 9 exact scores: £10,000
– 8 exact scores: £1,000
– 7 exact scores: £500
– 6 exact scores: Your choice of Premier League jersey
– 5 exact scores: a Superbru Yellow Cap

It’s totally free to play, so you might as well have a go.

Recruitment incentive

Superbru is great fun when you play with your friends or work colleagues. Over 90% of people say they would recommend Superbru to a friend and if you do just that, it will be worth your while.

Set up your own league and invite 10 new UK-based people to Superbru, and you could be eligible for £50 at the end of the tournament. See the T&Cs and how it works

Superbru app

The app is the best way to play the game – it’s quick and simple, with live scoring and lots of other cool features.

Download the free Superbru app from the App Store or Google Play.

Wisdom of the Crowd articles

Look out for the Gameweek 1 preview on Friday, with the aggregated predictions for the first round of matches as we all look to get a fast start in Fantasy Premier League. The more people that join, the better those predictions should be, so please do get involved.

    Wouldn't be mad if from next season players got +2 points for winning a penalty rather than an assist *IF* it is scored, like the World Cup game. Just feel winning a penalty (guilt-edged chance) for your team should be rewarded whether it's converted by someone else or not.

    Not sure whether the same player should be able to get the +2 if they take the penalty too.

    1. WibblesTeam
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes good idea i thought of it too. No bonus 2 points if take it themself

  2. PvA

    Is Arnie playing in strike?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No, he's playing in attacking midfield in a 4231

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Nice one thanks

    2. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Is he getting close to the goal like he has been or more away from it?

  3. _Greg
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Template 4.5m midfielder? Would punt Hudson Odi but Chelsea will then inevitably be class & I'll need 3.

    1. Random Name
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      stephens is the most selected on fpl

      1. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I was hoping for the odd goal or assist on a nailed starter though...

        1. PvA
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Why would you want goals/assists on the bench?

          1. _Greg
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Haha

        2. Random Name
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          You barely get that with 4.5 mids tho and this year it's no different. Maybe one day there'll be another Ettiene Capoue

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Prob going with HO myself, Chalobah looks best of the 4.5s imo.

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Wan-Bissaka at 4.0 or Cedric...

      Im on Gunnarson

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cardiff's Ward is the one I'd go for if I wanted a 4.5m

      Serious?

  5. stat
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If Chicharito's going to be playing as the lone striker, then surely that dents the appeal of having Arnie?

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        There isn't a better option than Arnie now Zaha is on the wing and might leave

        1. Je suis le chat
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          King might be the one for a few weeks.

        2. stat
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Tosun possibly

        3. Siggy in the Middle
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Big 'If'

          1. stat
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Just strange that he'd play a formation he's not planning to go with in a friendly so close to the start of the season, considering pretty much everyone is available.

              1. Siggy in the Middle
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Could it be that Chica and Arnie are starting up top together?

                1. stat
                    7 years, 4 months ago

                    Not in this game, but I have no idea what Pellegrini has in store.
                    Worth noting that Yarmolenko is on the bench - if Yarmolenko is going to play then that surely means Chicharito is out, and Arnie starts up front.

                    1. Siggy in the Middle
                      • 10 Years
                      7 years, 4 months ago

                      You'd imagine that's be the case. He'll play Yarmolenko, his new signing. And Arnie would surely start up front given his form. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking.

                    • 10 Years
                    7 years, 4 months ago

                    Are you sure?

                    "We're playing a 4-4-2 here with Chicha and Arnie up front."

                    From West Ham's twitter.

                    1. stat
                        7 years, 4 months ago

                        I'm watching the game and it seems like Chicharito is playing furthest forward

              Ederson 4.0
              Bailly TAA Cedric Jagielka Wan Bis

                Looking at something similar
                I will robably go Sanchez, Pedro and TAA to Ramsey, Dilva and Robbo

              A mild dilemma here..

              A) Jota + 4.5 def
              B) Azpi + Hudson-Odoi/4.5m mid

              Have a lovely weekend all. I'm off to pub to watch the mighty Rams thrash Reading and top the table with a +3 goal difference. The start and end of the Lampard project.

              Anyone else hoping Mane does better than Salah this season?

              1. Je suis le chat
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                I might get Mane though sure he won't match Mo as not a great finisher. Might just be good value.

                1. So Troublesome

                • 9 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Chance hes on pens is cool, but regardless going Salahless and hoping Mane runs him much closer this season!

                7 years, 4 months ago

                It's a weak frontline but you know that. To be fair I think Arnie will out perform 7m mids.
                I only beef is if you want to get a premium forward you'll need to do some serious transferring. I prefer flexibility but have a premium in each position

              1. Both Pope and Heaton are seriously injured?
              2. Lindegaard is leaving?
              3. Pope is out for a long period of time, Heaton and Lindegaard is not enough coverage so the third GK is needed?

                As close to template as you can probably get.

                  is that a good thing or not?

                Down grade gunnarson and upgrade Cedric >> Luiz

                  How can I downgrade him? Hes a 4.5 Mid

              Lots of teams with Ederson, which I understand. However I'm worried I'll want 3 citeh attacking players, and don't want that spot taken up with a keeper.

              That said, at least he's guaranteed a spot

                • 14 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Yeh it’s the guarantee that made me switch, saying that I may switch back if Mendy looks a starter

                Think you're right. City should score a lot. Bit of a waste using a city slot up for a keeper

              Best midfielder for £6.5m or less?

              Currently on Gundmudsson and already have Richarlison

              1. Random Name
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Gudmundsson had 35 apps last year 2 goals. Why don't you go for a Jota, Pedro, lamela or even walcott

              Help! Any suggestions welcomed.

              Ederson - Stekelenburg
              Alonso - Bailly - VVD - Malone - Wan Bissaka
              Salah - Sane - Hudson Odoi - Richarldson - Fred
              Arnautovic - PEA - Zaha

                Sarri may play 4 at the back and Alonso be benched so go azpi for safety

                Sick to death of drafting a team.
                Is Trent back?

                - Downgrade VVD or Alonso and upgrade one of the 4.0 for a more valid options
                - Fred is a big big punt, shouldnt be a good FPL player put we never know
                - Odoi good punt for gw1, after that i have my doubts

                  True about Fred. What is a better option at £6?

                    • 10 Years
                    7 years, 4 months ago

                    players that are nailed and play up front: schurrle, mooy, townsend, ritchie, pereyra

                    or try to gather 0.5 for a 6.5, there are much better options

                    or downgrade to 5.0 and you have costa, neves, cairney and ralls.
                    Not the best FPL players but you save 1.0

                Hard to tell, can't even be sure he's ahead of gomez and clyne

                  He's ahead of Clyne. Clyne is available for sale if there are any takers as I understand it.

              A Subaru yellow cap for guessing 5/10 correct scores?! That's a rotten prize considering the achievement.

                I agree. If you get five exact scores in a week it'd be excellent. Tougher than it sounds

                  I've been playing a prediction competition on a different forum for years. Getting 3-4 correct scores out of 10 is extremely rare never mind 5.

                If it turns out Hamer is nailed on for the first couple of weeks, a 9.5 rotation of Foster/Hamer looks decent: BHA bur CAR eve/TOT CPA

                  Callum Hudson-Odoi is a tempting prospect if Hazard is sold to Real

                    they will buy a star to replace him

                    This seems more than ever a site to figure out who will play rather than who will score points. I don’t like that there’s such an element of luck in guessing City’s lineup correctly

                      Playing is a prerequisite of scoring points

                    Currently have Ederson, Mendy and Kun in my draft, am I better off downgrading Ederson because of the Mendy defensive cover? If so to who? Or just go with it? 2 of 3 should be nailed at least, re-asses Kun down the line if needs be
