Your chance to get involved in the FFS Scout Network

Want to join the Scout Network or work for Fantasy Football Scout? Now is your chance.

We have been the leading voice in all things FPL for over 12 years, working with an engaged community of fans, addicts and pioneers to create the best content. Mark Sutherns created the site as a place for Fantasy Football fans to come together to discuss tactics, make informed captain decisions and commiserate over 59th minute substitutions, a function it fulfils even today.

We were the first to create in-depth professional editorial content and share innovative tools like Fixture Tickers; the first to provide a definitive injuries and bans list and resources like set-piece takers; the first to utilise Opta stats to take analysis to the next level and the first to build a members area to allow others to play with that data themselves.

Our leagues have dominated FPL for years, many of the top players (including four of the last seven winners) were FFS members, most were users and our tools are utilised by many of the games themselves.

But we didn’t do this alone. It has always been a team game, working with and serving the wider community. Which is why, unlike most Fantasy channels, we make so much content available for free.

It’s also why we want to hear from you now if you’d like to get involved and join the Scout Network.

Building on the work we’ve done this year with the Pro Pundits program, we want to reach even wider for the 2020/21 season, with the creation of a Scout Network that supports upcoming creators to grow and monetise their social or video channels, allows tool-makers to promote their genius to a wider audience and genuinely gives opinionated Fantasy managers everywhere a better chance to be heard.

So if you have a cool tool you’d like to share with the world, a social or video channel that you’d like to work with FFS to grow and monetise, some amazing tech skills you’d like to contribute or just some great insight that you need to share, we want to hear from you!

Just fill out this simple form with some relevant info and we’ll guarantee to check it out and come back to you.

    Have kdb and foden should i:

    A - doherty and foden to pieters and d silva -4

    B - Bruno to silva and keep foden

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B

    2. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B. Wouldn't advocate taking a hit this gw especially if you're leading a close mini-league

  2. Viper
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hypothetically speaking, If TAA was to be benched, and it was confirmed before the deadline, is there anyone I should take a hit for?

    I've no playing defenders on the bench

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Robbo

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah robbo

    2. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Possibly a burnley defender considering Pope is chasing clean sheets?

  3. ZTF
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Chasing 2 people. One will likely TC Sterling, the other likely to captain him (or maybe De Bruyne) on a FH.

    With no chips left who should I captain to try and counter?

    A) Dilva
    B) Salah
    C) Ings
    D) Sterling
    E) Bruno/Martial

    1. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If chasing anyway, I'd go for Ings I guess

  4. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Are confident TAA will play?

    1. D.Glynn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm concerned also. If early news I'll just switch to VVD

    2. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm confident yeah

  5. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If both Mahrez and KdB starts, which one would you pick If money no issue?

    1. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Neither

  6. Amey
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    This mane absense in pictures is annoying. Could have got him instead of Salad if felt boring about Salah

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He had a slight medical issue but is not a serious enough to make him a doubt for the Newcastle game, is what the Liverpool Echo say

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks mate ... 🙂
        It's enough to create doubts in our minds though isn't it ....
        I'm not going for him now unless there is s team leaks

  7. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Pope TAA Ings
    Or Martinez Aurier Auba

    1. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      So first one.

    3. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A has higher ceiling i feel

  8. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    McCarthy
    TAA Doherty Aurier
    Sterling Mahrez Bruno Martial Pulisic
    Rashford Jesus
    (x Nketiah x x)

    Bruno & Doherty ➡️ Salah & Pieters

    If all my players are starting I don't see a better use of 2 FTs. Thoughts?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ideally I'd want one spurs attacker but can't have them all ...
      I seriously think Jesus can sit this one out having played more last GW.
      But baldy is a Fraud so not going there.

      Can you do Rashford Bruno >> Ings Salah ??

    2. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Good moves

  9. PattBrofield
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Rashford or Bruno?

    1. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bruno for me

  10. lazzal
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hi
    Do any of you have tips for early news Twitteraccounts to follow?

    1. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Rockstar or Scarface

      1. lazzal
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thx!
        Will follow Scarface.
        Rockstar have stated he will not be doing early news for gw38.

  11. Herman Toothrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Start 1:

    J Rod or Bruno

    (Willian, Pulisic, Kane, Jesus, Sterling and Dilva my other attackers)

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

      I would start both over Willian.

      Bruno over J Rod.

  12. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ideas on this lot?

    Pope (McCarthy)
    Alexander-Arnold, Doherty, Alonso, Taylor (Egan)
    Sterling, David Silva, Fernandes, Martial (Foden)
    FWD: Ings, Rashford, Jiménez

    1 FT, 0.5 in bank.

    Probably looking at a hit to change an attacker.

    Cheers

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Add Taylor to the bench.

    2. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Martial/Bruno to mahrez?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        4 City

    3. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd be tempted to hit Rash to Kane funded by Doherty if that's possible or Alonso?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Would need 1.6 so possible.

    4. ZTF
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I guess if no early teams news to worry you elsewhere, one of Alonso/Doherty to Burnley/Saints def?

    5. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Foden to fodder

      Rasford to Jesus

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Pity no 4m mids or Jimmy could go.

      2. Rover
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        This. Or even Foden to Mahrez and Rashford/Martial to fodder.

    6. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Money is spread out so you probably can't get Mane/Salah in 2 moves unless yoy sell Sterling which is obviously not happening.

      Maybe try and upgrade one of the United mids to Son or Rashford to Kane?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Could get Salah/Mane but would need to lose Bruno + one of TAA, Martial or Jimmy (3.2 needed)

    7. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers all.

    8. Sir Edo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A tough one!
      Think three transfers could pay back of you include Mahrez.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hard for a -8, would need news of non starters.

        1. Sir Edo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Agree, quite stressful looking for ’confirmed’ lineups before deadline..

    9. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Dont think it is worth changing a defender as clean sheets looking unlikely for any team other than City Spurs and LFC.

      One of Alonso or Doherty could haul, maybe both.

      So that is why I would ship Foden for Jesus to have 3 city playing.

      Martial and Bruno still good picks.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Think Rashford is good vs a slow defence too.

  13. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How does this look guys?
    Pope
    Robbo Dawson pieters

    1. Super Frank8

      Looks strong. Sterling captain?

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Think so

  16. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years

    Best striker this week

    Kane
    Auba
    Vardy
    Ings?

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Im hoping its kane!

      Very torn between him and auba though

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kane , but Ings could match him

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kane- I have got him in on free transfer and captaining

    Any thoughts on best bet here please? Fighting over minor mini league places...happy to try something unorthodox...3.6mitb

    A....TAA and foden to pieters and sterling (c) - 4

    B.....TAA, bruno and jesus to pieters, kane and sterling (c) - 8

    1. Super Frank8

      I'd go for A

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers...that seems sensible...really keen ro squeeze kane in but seems impossible without wholesale surgery.

        1. Super Frank8
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Wouldn't tear the team up for a 1 GW shootout. Think it's best to go with what you have already.

          Best of luck

          1. Flynny
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I've just done taa and foden to sterling (c) - 4.

            Taa rumours suggest won't start and haply with Burnley def

            Sterling looks hungry for goals. Seems like a calculated gamble

            1. Flynny
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              sterling and pieters....

  18. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else in a no win/no lose position with a FH and tempted to play a defence of Walker, Pieters, Walker-Peters....just because they can?!

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Then why not play Sons as well? Ederson, Son, Richarlison, Robertson etc....

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Walker-Peters and Sons!!!!!

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      That’s actually a great defence for this week

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Don’t think I’ll go through with it and waste a Man City attacking spot.

    3. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Wood+Greenwood upfront for a full house?

  19. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Pick 2 for FH team (budget unlimited):
    A. David Silva
    B. Antonio
    C. Bruno

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      A and B

      AB

      AC

  20. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Captain one of KDB, Dilva or Jesus

    1. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      KdB out of those

    2. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      KDB

    3. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      KDB or D.Silva for me

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      DSilva

    5. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Heart is ruling over head here and going with Dilva. This is Norwich lads. Anyone can score.

    6. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Dilva

  21. Bishopool
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Intriguing! WHAT would you do???

    I am chasing and have BenchBoost. 1 FT; 2,3M in bank.

    Martinez (Button)
    TAA Digne Buldock Saiss Targett
    KDB Foden Salah Bruno Saka
    Jimi Ings Greenwood

    Considering i have only 1 FT, then -8 pts would be too much. So basically I would make 2 transfers.

    a) Avoid Spurs (away game). And triple up ManC with Jesus or Sterling (over Jimi or Salah)
    b) Jimi and Buldock -> Kane and Burnley def
    c) Differential: Greenwood and Button -> Wood and McCarthy
    d) Something else

  22. BurnMyBread
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Digne or Tierney?

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

      Tierney

    2. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Digne - better attacking potential

  23. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Help please.

    A) Greenwood, Salah Aurier
    B) Auba, Antonio, Braithwaite

    Tempted by B as rival has greenwood and Salah and only 4 points ahead... he’s playing bb

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think A scores more

    2. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Go for B in that case i think

    3. beric

      A

  24. sirmorbach

    Bardsley, Pieters, Aurier
    Sterling, Mahrez, D.Silva, Salah, Son
    Kane, Ings

    Button, Connolly, Williams, Kilman

      Yeah that's your standard FH team, solid

      I would get Konsa/Diop instead of one of the Burnley defenders.

          Yes, but a triple-up is still risky. Ask yourself this, if Brighton get a jammy penalty through VAR and you lose ~15+ points (3 CS + bonus) in one kick would you be able to take it?

    Assuming each player is indeed starting, who would you rather have from each pair:

    A) Fernandes or Martial
    B) David Silva or Mahrez

      3 years, 8 months ago

      Fernandes and DSilva

    2. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Martial and Mahrez
