Win a year’s membership by joining our FPL mini-league and raise money for the NHS

We have launched a new Fantasy Premier League classic mini-league to mark the resumption of the 2019/20 season, with scoring starting from Gameweek 30+.

Whether you’re currently ranked first in the world or closer to the seven-million mark, everyone is in with a chance of winning as all entrants start from zero.

Head to the FPL site via this link and use the code ‘i3lxye’ to sign up (full details are towards the bottom of this piece).

There’s not only pride at stake in this mini-league but the carrot of free annual memberships to the managers who finish in the top five places.

Don’t worry if you’re already subscribed for 2020/21 – we’ll refund your payment if your finish qualifies you for this prize.

Our new end-of-season mini-league is called the ‘The FFScout Charity Shield‘ and we’re also using this opportunity to try and raise money for the NHS.

We usually offer Amazon vouchers to those finishing in the podium places of our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members leagues, and that remains the case in this stop-start season.

For ‘The FFScout Charity Shield’, we at Fantasy Football Scout are pledging the cash equivalent – £300 – to NHS Charities Together.

The selfless work that our National Health Service key workers carry out on a daily basis has been brought into sharp focus over the last three months.

We’re honoured to be donating money to such a worthwhile cause and we’re inviting you to do the same via our JustGiving page.

We should stress that a donation is not mandatory and anyone can enter ‘The FFScout Charity Shield’ whether they are able to make a financial contribution or not; we fully appreciate that these are tough, unprecedented times and some of you will perhaps not be in a position to do so.

If you are able to spare a bob or two, however, then you can do so by clicking on the below link.

Many thanks to anyone who donates to the fund and good luck for the rest of the season.

      decent if this is your strategy.

      I would assume you maybe losing some TV this week?

    Auba Jime / Long

    Thank you

      I would assume you are not using any chips this week?

      1. fplfansss
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Correct, I don't use any chips this week

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

    Pretty settled on the below BB no WC team:

    McCarthy hendo
    Taa Doherty baldock Egan lascelles
    Son Kdb mahrez grealish saka
    Auba rash Jimenez

    Switch out mahrez for Bruno for next gw

    Anything obvious that needs attention

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Good balance if no WC good luck

        Thanks

    2. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Grealish not reliable long term. Maybe a better 3rd defender.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Figure I switch him out for mount gw 32 or I may want to bring in mane/salah at the cost of auba

        1. OleGGMU
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          same plan for greal myself, Barnes and Sarr also under scrutiny for that spot

          1. Eat my goal!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Sarr is a good shout - haven’t given massive thought to that spot yet

    3. OleGGMU
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Love the team mate, the future, Bruno-Rashy combo can be mega in the following gws

      sticking wiv this gw, defo GTG unless something gets said prior to the gw beginning regarding injury/match fitness.
      Love the Son pick, really refreshing to see over the stock standard, Sterl Kdb Grealish mid and Auba, Kun fwd line that has infested the boards here

    4. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I’m in a similar situation with no WC and my team’s pretty similar too.

      Best of luck

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks, maybe I’m convincing myself so but I actually believe there is more chance of a good gw. FH teams are could be a complete flop, all eggs in one basket. Who you capping?

  5. Jullepuu
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Norwich posted all the goals from their training match and I couldn't see Cantwell anywhere in the clips. Did anyone here spot him or not?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Spotted in match photos

      1. Jullepuu
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thank you

    2. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Cantwell isnt nailed.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Is this a serious comment?

        1. Jullepuu
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          I hope not

  6. BRFC
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I really do feel there’s way to much emphasis being put in DGW players. Only City really appeals out the four teams imo.

    1. OleGGMU
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Much Agreed, but wiv the PL break having been for so long, it is understandable that players are overly excited and investing in the dgw even though the teams involved arent that great and limited reliable assets across all 4 to choose from

    2. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I agree to a certain extent but Grealish & Aub have been good picks all season regardless of fixtures and so have Sheffield defence so that 3 city and 4 or so from players I mentioned

  7. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I quite like my team, would it be a waste making loads of transfers to this to get a BB team and WC after?

    Pope (Mcgovern)
    TAA - Soy - Egan (Taylor, Williams)
    Kdb - Salah - Martial - Fernandes (Dendo)
    Auba - DCL - Vardy

    0.3 itb

    THinking FH for the double and reverting back to this is the best option, keeping BB and WC for later.

  8. Old Gregg
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Morning,

    BB and then WC in 31+

    A)Saka + Samatta

    Or

    B)Mount + Nketiah

    1. Forgetmeknot
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I’m on A)

      1. Old Gregg
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks. Let’s hope it comes off although I’m not expecting much!!

  9. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    With my 2nd WC, FH and BB remaining...would you suggest...
    A FH
    B Unlimited Transfers and BB

    Leaning toward A...My current team...

    Pope/Hendo
    Saiss, TAA, Lascelles, Taylor, Egan
    Salah, Mane, Dendoncker, Saka, KDB
    Vardy, Ings, Jimi

    1. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah good team without needing UTs

      1. Jimbo-Jones
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I’d go B.
        You’re unlikely to want Salah and Mané long term once league is wrapped up, and it’ll cost you a lot of transfers to spread their value across the team.
        Dendo Saka and Ings also probably need to go.
        This is the only double gw so makes most sense to BB, and take advantage of UT.

        1. french holiday
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          One of Salah/Manè would be definitaely essential as they would be going for the golden boot. Ings is still a good pick with the fixtures.

  10. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Mornign dzz, couple of quick questions. best options for BB30 only

    1) O'connell (as 3rd SHU defender) + Sarr
    2) Alonso/PVA + Fleck (3rd SHU player)

    A) TAA + Mahrez (3rd MCI attacker) or
    B) Lascelles + Sterling (3rd MCI attacker)

    Leaning towards 1B but it would mean losing 0.4m on TAA if i want him back on WC31

  11. Ready Player One
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Hey all,

    Not been on here for a bit so apologies if this has already been covered. Only have FH and BB left...

    If I take advantage of the unlimited transfers and then FH will it revert back to the new team or will the FH default my team back to what I have now??

    Hope that makes sense!

    1. ksmith5666
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      It will revert to your current team, not the new team created with unlimited transfers

      1. Von Lipwig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        this, he said it better 🙂

    2. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      the FH wil default your team back to what I have now

  12. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    After this week, the Pool DEF will stay in my team... Is Fleck for the DGW worth having VVD not Robertson for the next few weeks at least?
    A) VVD + Fleck
    B) Robertson + Cantwell

  13. Boss Hogg
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Best midfielder for 6.8 or less for a 1 week punt? (Got Grealish already)

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      mcginn / sarr / mount

  14. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    If you could afford only one of Kun and Auba who do you pick?

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Kun

    2. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Auba will get more game time however Auba plays for arsenal! I’d back aguero over auba even with the chance of only playing 90mins

  15. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Would you start TAA or Martial this week?

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      TAA

  16. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Think I'm going with something like this on my FH.

    Henderson
    TAA Doherty Stevens Lundstram
    Sterling KDB Grealish
    Aguero Auba Tammy

    What do you think?

    1. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Solid. Lund could be a risk though

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yep, taking the risk. Thanks.

    2. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Not scared of Giroud starting?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Haven't been so far.. could go for Jimenez instead!

    3. Baganuva Hatty
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Superb

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

        Cheers!

  17. fish&chips
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    A) Egan, Basham, Saka, Auba
    B) TAA, Baldock, Fleck, Tammy

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A for this GW

  18. woodles
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Does anyone know what’s happening with the head to head leagues? Me and a few mates had a bet on the league but fixtures still not updated for the restart!

    1. mikeycee93
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      It's finished mate, unfortunatey.

      FPL did mention in their update, we were the same - had 20 boys in a H2H league so just finished it - luckily i was top and won but since only 25% of league was finished we kept 25% in the kitty for next season and paid out 75% of the prize fund based on league positions after GW29/30 whenever it finished.

      1. OleGGMU
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Sorrt to stick my oar in mate, but whilst on the subject of leagues, are the traditional ones, non H2H , still active
        just rechecked FPL, only see H2H mentioned so Im guessing other leagues are still active then?

      2. woodles
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Ah massive shame! Thanks for the response though mate

  19. Boss Hogg
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Play Doherty or a second Sheff Utd defender this week?

    1. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      ShU defender

  20. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Is there any players that haven't come back to England yet?

  21. n14mul
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Looking at 38+ and the usual trend of having high scoring gsmes on the last day. What chips do you think would be best to maximise points?

    A. BB
    B. FH

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I trust FH more than BB. But this GW has UT. So no need to FH.

      Maybe BB. But be careful if you don't have a WC to mop out the unnecessary weight (bench players) you'll pick for that

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Sorry I was talking about the last game of the season, gw38+

        Usually has a reputation of being a high scoring gw hence asking what chip would be more suited

  22. OleGGMU

      Doherty in for VVD - just look at the fixtures

    1. Pomp and Circumstance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      don't think you'll get lots of points from the bench on BB there

      1. Scooby75
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks Pomp, I’ll have a re-think!

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

      I think Salah has to go to get that bench stronger

      1. Scooby75
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yep, I’m struggling with ditching but you are right would give better balance. Cheers.

        1. OleGGMU
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Before you ditch salah, unless FH, consider your plans post dgw, as you will lose tv

          1. Scooby75
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Great advice Oleg! Ta.

    3. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Otamendi is bobbins. I doubt he will start both and might not get a game at all. I'd get a 2nd Sheff defender in his place.

      Also if playing BB it's a big waste to have Button.

      1. Scooby75
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks Devo, I’ll take the Otamendi advice.

        1. St Pauli Walnuts
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          No probs. Good luck mate!

  24. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    A)Saiss + Kun
    or
    B)Doherty + Auba
    *Gonna keep them for the next gw for sure too

  25. Pomp and Circumstance
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    DCL or Jota for 3rd striker spot?

    Aguero, KDB, or Auba for captain?

    1. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Surely DCL for nailedness.

    2. Scooby75
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I’m going KDB for the armband

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

    Leno Ederson
    O’Con Egan Alonso TAA Targett
    Grealish Sterling Fleck KDB Fernandes
    Auba Samatta Jota

    BB team - how does it look?

    1. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Samatta and Jota can be hit and miss

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

        True. Jota or Nketiah is the debate really, I think villa will score both games - they seem the most pumped up for the restart

          Why? What have they been doing behind closed doors to get you thinking like that.

            Just a lot of the interviews and quotes from before the restart was announced, Grealish especially seemed motivated - and then banged in that wondergoal behind closed doors

      I like it. Good balance. Captain?

        Probably Auba, too scared of rotation for City

    Billy Gilmour.
    Played 90 mins v Everton before league was suspended.
    Hit a brace vs QPR yesterday.
    4.5.

    Way too punty as enabler in BB team?

      A single GW player who may not start

      I’d say so sadly, Kante should be back and ready by next week so add in Kovacic and Jorginho and I’m doubting too many minutes

        If you want Chelsea mid then Mount and Pulisic are options. In attack unsure if Tammy starts over Giroud.

    I'm sure this has already been covered, but who the best SGW defenders this GW??
    TAA, Alonso, Doherty??

    1. french holiday

      Alonso

      1. fuzzymike
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Is he definitely playing??

        1. Soto Ayam
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          This is what I'm considering. I'm gonna pick him on the basis that I think Chelsea will be very attack minded against a villa side that they need to beat. But I have been wrong before!

          1. fuzzymike
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Got a few players in my FH team on that basis. I'll either crash'n'burn or storm it this week.

              • 4 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              Here's to crash and burn then. Cheers

              Actually I'm going Doherty now, or azpuli. Just read that newc are in talks with Chelsea about buying him so I'm guessing he won't play as they'll wanna save him from any injury.

                Alonso to NUFC?!? Seriously??
                Bit of a downgrade.

                  Used to play for Sunderland also. But it's Mike Ashley talks, so they could go on for ever

    Question -

    Is Lord Lundstrum a good choice for the BB team ?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      One week maybe.
      Long term, nope.

      I'd rather pick Egan/enda though.

        Thanks Amey

      If your okay with the fact that he isn't nailed, then yes
