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.

    Is Ozil a DGW option...

    1. Mike2795647
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure, was wondering that myself. Seems to have got back into the team, assume He will play but with 5 subs in wondering how many minutes

      This epitomises DGW fever!

      In 2016 maybe

    4. _Ninja_

      Ozil wouldnt be an option in a quadruple GW.

  2. I Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    A) Doherty + Saka
    B) Boly + Mount

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

      B

      Saka just feels like a pick just because they have a DGW

    2. Davidwrigley
      • 6 Years

      B

    Thanks so much to Raggabolly.

    What a change of events youve provided for so many of us here!

    I ended my ML in 2nd place and had loads of fun and learnt being a commentator thx to you in an otherwise socially akward time!

    1. Simpix

      A big thank you from me, also to Ragabolly. It's certainly kept me occupied during the long weeks of no FPL. Hopefully, it might reappear during future closed seasons.
      Just for fun, and to keep them match-fit, I ran my actual FPL team (as was in GW29) throughout the whole VFPL competition.
      They finished 13th with 2606 points. Hopefully, they will do just as well once the actual FPL resumes on Wednesday

      Absolutely my pleasure! I wasn't expecting the game to run that smoothly (except the small downtime today :D) and to be fun to play! I am seriously blessed to contribute to the community and the game I love, and your participation made it all worth the effort 🙂

  4. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Ederson or Mahrez as 3rd City pick?

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

      I'm going Mahrez.

    2. Davidwrigley
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Ederson

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

    Please RMT (Free Hit)

    Think I’m done, just unsure on the Mount pick.. Would like Tammy but I’m just not confident he will start?

    Hendo
    TAA / Egan / Stevens
    Mount / KDB / Sterling / Grealish
    Jimenez / Agüero / Auba

    FYI - I will swap Stevens to Lundy if I get early news that he’s starting

  6. BNMC

    A bit late to the party but mad props to everyone at the LiveFPL team for making Virtual FPL an experience to remember. Ended up finishing 96th and sneaking into the top 100 thanks to a Ryan CS in the final game - you couldn't write it!

      Well done and glad you enjoyed it. Those below who mock are not nice people who like to bring others down when they're happy, so just ignore them. Well done.

      Congratulations on the top 100 finish mate, it's been a great journey for me writing the code and maintaining it. Didn't expect hundreds of people enjoying the game, so I am very grateful 🙂

  7. Mike2795647
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    After some help, which option?

    1. Auba, Ozil and Aguero
    2. Auba, Pepe and Jesus
    3. Lacazette, Pepe and Aguero

    Cheers all

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      1.. Without Ozil.

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

      Don’t like Özil but I’d deffo go 1 out of those

    Also
    O'Connell+ baldock
    Or
    Egan + Stevens

    1. juanmata8
      • 9 Years

      I would go H&M and O&B out of those...

    2. Davidwrigley

      You must be confident on Everton :O

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        No I’m not particularly but they’re good options for the future imo. I don’t have second wildcard and lots of value tied up. I want them for the run in. Hopefully I get something

  11. Jolly Good
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Bb30+

    Leno, Reina
    TAA, Lundstram, Egan, Basham, Targett
    KDB, Bruno, Grealish, x, y
    Aguero, Aubameyang, DCL

    Thoughts on 12.5 mio for x+y

    Currently thinking D Silva + Saka
    B) Mahrez

  12. The Colonel
    • 10 Years

    Any comments? Will BB this week and WC next week.

    Reina, Hendo

    Bashem, Egan, TAA, Aarons, Lascelles

    KDB, Sterling, Grealish, Saka, Cantwell

    Kun, Auba, Samatta

    Gives me 12 DGW players.

    1. Daghe Munegu
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Samatta and Grealish against triple sheffield defense and a bench of Reina Arrons Lascelles Cantwell. Not for me

  13. Tommo1888
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    So if we never used our second wild card do we still have it or is this unlimited transfers we have just now mean its used up??

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      You still have it

    2. _Ninja_

    Hi guys, apologies if this is a stupid question but is there any way to see if I've played my second WC? I'm pretty sure I haven't but can't see an available wildcard anywhere.

      Well done mate 🙂

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

    Anyone else think the DGW fever will end up in a terrible disappointment? 3 months without games, and suddenly 2 games in 1 week with 5 transfers available means tons of injuries and heavy mid/forward rotation. I am surprised how few Chelsea players have been picked up for their SGW match against Villa exhausted from the match vs Sheffield with a reserve goalkeeper...and how many plan to actually double up on the Villa def.

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Abraham tempts me a bit but would rather have Jimenez instead. Grealish better option than Mount and their defence is no go zone imo.

      1. Karhumies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I guess a big reason is trying to afford a MCity triple up + Aubameyang + decent bench for the BB, which leaves very little cash for getting both Grealish AND Mount.

        Abraham vs Giroud is also not worth a gamble, especially not on a BB. But whichever of the two actually plays might well bag a hat trick is my gut feeling.

    2. D.Glynn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      What Chelse

      1. D.Glynn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Reply fail. What Chelsea players are you tempted by? Not sure who is nailed and how much rotation there will be by Frank..

        1. Karhumies
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Mount, Giroud, Willian and Alonso I suppose. Mount seems like the safest bet out of these, the others are hit-or-miss. Any could be great differentials on a FH team since BB teams won't pick them up.

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

    You can only pick one combo on FH..

    A) Mount & Jimenez
    B) Tammy & Doherty

    Think I’d prefer B for explosiveness but A is more nailed?

    1. Cynical
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A for me

  20. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Don't have second wildcard left so was thinking of ignoring Liverpool players in gw30 and 32.

    Ship them out pre gw30 and use funds to load dgw players, fh31 to bring them in for favorable fixture, in gw32 they have ManC away.

    Sounds like a plan?

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

      How terrible is the GW32 team?

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Its quite template atm.

        I wouldn't want Mane/ Salah for this gw but against Palace they are must haves imo, best captaincy options.

        No dgws after gw30 so it really doesn't matter when to play fh imo.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          How good is it for GW30?

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            As good as it gets. If no liverpool

            Hendo-Reina
            Laporte-Boly-Egan-Tierney-Migns
            Kdb-Pepe-Fernandes-Greasy-Fleck
            Augero-Auba-Abrahm

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I’m in a similar situation to you.

      How’s your team shaping up?

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Just started to build it. These are pretty much nailed.

        Hendo
        Egan
        Kdb-Grealish-Fernandes
        Aguero

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

          Yea we have similarities.

          I went Leno though because I don’t have a back up keeper and Henderson won’t play in gw31 so I’d be left without a keeper.

  21. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Which combo should I go for?

    a) Pulisic and Sarr

    b) Bruno and Doucoure

  22. D.Glynn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Those planning WC in gw 31, when will you activate and who is top on your list before price changes kick in?

  23. Cynical
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    A. Mane, Rashford and Jota
    B. Mahrez, Aubameyang and Jimenez

    Looking beyond GW30 too

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A
      Mane greatly outweighs Mahrez
      Rashford over auba for value.
      Jota is the lesser, but sacrifice for the 1st 2 options.

      1. Cynical
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks for your reply.

        As a final option, what do you think of Son, Auba and Jota?

    So the 2 teams I thought at the start of the day would go down with Villa did indeed go down in VFPL.

    Newcastle conceding a late penalty was a cruel way for them to get relegated.

    West Ham did too little too late.

    Bournemouth were on a roll and rode with it in true Wigan like great escape style.

    Thanks again, Ragabolly, that was most enjoyable.

    Hey guys, can i please have a RMT:

    Ederson, Leno
    Egan, Doherty, Targett, Stevens, TAA
    Fleck, KDB, Grealish, Douglas Luiz, Sterling
    Auba, Abraham, Jimenez

    No money left. I had Mount and Aguero instead of Sterling and Abraham before but changed.

    I feel Abraham is a better option than Mount.

    I also think Sterling is as nailed as Aguero really i.e. its a lottery!)

    Many thanks and I will reply to some comments now as good etiquette
