As we gear up for the start of the 2020/21 season, we at Fantasy Football Scout are frantically working behind the scenes to make improvements for our site users and subscribers.

We have a number of exciting developments in the pipeline but we’ll need an additional body to help us roll out the changes we have planned.

This time we are looking for someone to take on a full-time tech-based role.

We want a front-end web developer with experience capturing requirements and delivering projects.

We are looking for the following skills from our candidates:

FRONT-END

  • HTML, JavaScript, and CSS
  • Sass
  • React
  • jQuery 
  • Bootstrap
  • AJAX

EXPERIENCE

  • BSC Computer Science or related 2.1 min
  • Two years minimum commercial experience

We mostly work remotely but, on occasion, we like to get together in person – so if you are based in/around London (or able to work there now and again), that would be beneficial.

However, those that work outside of London should most definitely still apply. Talent is more important to us than postcode!

Flexibility of hours is also preferable.

Based on past experience with our job adverts, we need to stress that it may take a little time to look through and respond to applications.

If you want to get involved with the next chapter of the site, please drop us a line with your CV at jobs@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.

    Crazy to go with 5-4-1/5-3-2?

    There's so much value at the back and you can get a really good squad out using this formation.

      Insane. There's also so many good options in midfield and attack. You can put out a very decent defense for:

      TAA + 4x 4.5ms. There's so much choice at that 4.5m price point that you can rotate them based on fixtures as well.

    Could it be viable to load up with 4 heavy hitting mids for the first few weeks then play an early wildcard when we can see where the value is? I feel like the mid-low priced gems can be unpredictable and tough to get right straight away.

      Without thinking about fixtures I would look at Downgrading one of Auba or Bruno to someone like Son or Ziyeck, becaue that still leave you with 3 great captain option over 10.5.
      Then I'd upgrade Bamford to Werner or Martial, then your team would be great.

        But then every game you hate to watch Mitrovic because of VAR and his lack of discipline. Personally I think you answered your own question by saying Wood ticks over nicely and Antonio is just too much of a injury risk. I think Wood ends the season with around 30 points more but the opening fixtures may mean you want to start with Antonio.

        Don't think so. I'm pretty sure that Antonio is first choice with Haller as a strike partner. We don't have any recognised strikers, so it has to be Antonio. Plus I imagine Moyes likes him as he's hard working and industrious. As long as the fixtures are kind, Antonio should do well

    The premium striker conundrum

    Mark Sutherns touched on the possibility of staying away from the premium forwards and focusing a large chunk of your budget on oop midfielders e.g Salah, Auba, Sterling etc.

    Is it a viable strategy to choose 3 forwards at 6.5, 6.0 and 4.5 to start the season?

    Also in terms of captaincy, by owning the likes of Kane, Aguero, Werner and Martial at that price would you have to give them them armband in order to maximise value.
    Would that decision be made harder of you already have strong armband options in Salah/KdB?

    Or is the flexibility of the 10.5/9.5/8.5 price point at the forward position too valuable to pass up in itself?

      You don't have to go 'premium'. One of Werner, Martial, Jimenez, Ings would suffice. I've toyed with 3 in that bracket (max 6.5) and it doesn't feel right.

          This is one of the reason why I think it may be wise to start with say a Werner and then having the option to move off him depending on form etc.

          My only problem with that is I feel like he would need to be captained on occasions.

            My draft currently allows for KDB, Bruno, Son and Werner as 9m+ picks so plenty of Captain options. I have a very good feeling about Werner though. I think he could end up being a serious captain contender in the coming weeks. If he starts well you’ll grab some serious value when people jump on him too.

        Try to think of the number of times you captained a forward over KDB, Sterling, Salah, Mané, TAA or Bruno and it actually worked. No matter the fixture

        One fact that still gets overlooked is that a midfielder only needs a fluke/pen goal and fluke assist in an average fixture to match/beat a striker's brace in an amazing fixture. What you keep hoping for by capping a striker over a midfielder, in ANY fixture, is a hat trick

          Without captaincy, none of the forwards can beat Robbo for value over a season. That's one fewer transfer to worry about, just like TAA

          Except, of course, if Liverpool plays terribly... Which is also an easy transfer out to a 4.5m def, which you can't do with forwards for 4.5

    Having just TAA will definitely not gain us any points.

    I think there's a valid case to double up on Pool defenders if they have good fixtures to start with.

    I can't see any 6.5-7m mids/strikers outscoring VVD/Robbo.
    Maybe Greenwood/Ziyech at a push but they cost 7.5-8m and 180-200 points will be a tough ask from them.

              Yup. Picking Mo and sticking with him. Would captain for the easier home games. Hope he doesn't burn me with the captaincy like he did last season but I feel Salah could put a bit of distance between himself and Mane this season when the final game is done.

                I expect to see an extremely common pattern of 2 Liverppol defenders and an attacker. And at equal pricing, the vast majority will start with Salah. A GW1 Salah blank and Mane brace will see 50% of them jump to the other!

                  Very true. I'll probably start with TAA, Gomez and Salah. It can be very frustrating seeing Salah blank and Mane score especially when you have the captaincy on him and vice versa must be said

    Given City players are likely to go away on holiday for 3 weeks, the first team squad are unlikely to resume training until a few days before the resumption of the League.

    The Premier League may well give City a concession to start later, given their European involvement in the later stages of the Champions League.

    stay away from City prospects and get them for a bit lower price (unless frozen) in GW3..

      For 18.5 you can make much better combo.
      From the top of my head...Mahrez (place holder for Pulisic) + Armstrong + Davies

      And you are missing Salah/Mane...that's biggest issue there I would say.

    Similar to last year, Rashford vs Greenwood throws up some interesting options because of Greenwood being notably cheaper.

      Only question for me will be if Ramsdale goes to Sheff U at 5.0. Him plus a nailed Burnley 4.5 (Taylor maybe as I think he is Dyche's no.1 over Pieters) covers Pope to some extent.

      Odds on one season wonder fairly high imo. They may do nicely but nothing in the same range

      Look at 2018/19 season and Burnley were well down the list. Yes they had goalie issues but it does rather point to a defence that outperformed. 8 more clean sheets just because of Pope? Don't see it

      2017/18 at 12 cs seems a likely benchmark which would make him overpriced.

          But go back beyond that to their other good season and it’s 12.

          A team like Burnley getting 16 cs is very anomalous. They really aren’t that good. Unlikely they’ll be in the same range this season. Think they’ll be at best slightly ahead of the pack around 12 cs - that makes 5.5 overpriced
