Fantasy Football Scout Premium Memberships for the 2020/21 season are still available at the pre-season cost of £17.50 – but time is running out on this offer.

Subscriptions will rise to the regular season price of £19.99 on August 31 so, if you haven’t already, make sure to sign up over the next week in order to secure the best-value rate.

The yearly fee of £17.50 works out at an equivalent of less than £1.50 a month (or 5p a day!) as, instead of expiring on June 1 as was previously the case, these rolling annual subscriptions now cover a full 12-month period.

That’s better value than our rivals are offering for the equivalent all-access Premium Membership package.

If you prefer to dip your toe into the water rather than plunge right in, however, we are continuing to offer rolling monthly subcriptions for just £2.99 per month.

Existing registered users can upgrade via this link. New users, who are yet to get a registered account, can sign up via this link.

Payments can be made through Paypal or via Stripe using debit or credit cards.

Does early FPL team news really provide an advantage?

What Do I get for my money?

Well, you’ll be joining legions of other Fantasy managers by signing up, including former Fantasy Premier League winners Adam Levy, Simon March and Tom Fenley.

Thousands upon thousands of FPL bosses take advantage of our subscriptions and sign up every year, using the stats and tools to aid their Gameweek planning.

PRO PUNDIT ARTICLES

You’ll get exclusive content from some of the best Fantasy managers in the business, including Hall of Fame number one Fábio Borges, ex-champion Simon March, five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman, three-time top 200 finisher Lateriser and six-time top 5k finisher Zophar.

If that wasn’t enough, Fantasy Football Scout’s founding father, Mark Sutherns, is returning to the site to supply articles and video appearances throughout the season. Again, only Premium Members will get unrestricted access to Mark’s content.

And stay tuned in the coming days for more exciting announcements on that front – as well as updates on a new, mobile-friendly design.

RATE MY TEAM AND PROJECTIONS

Our Projections and Rate My Team tools are both live for the new season, so you can head over there now to start building your teams ahead of 2020/21 and see how many points our algorithm thinks you’ll score.

These features were both refined last year, with RMT’s Professor – aka Chris Atkinson – elaborating on the changes in a Hot Topic.

SEASON TICKER

Also live for the new season is our Season Ticker.

Premium Members can sort by fixture difficulty and find out which teams’ matches rotate well.

Disagree with the Fantasy Football Scout difficulty ratings? Add you own to customise your experience.

FLAT-TRACK BULLY TOOL

Our Flat-Track Bully tool was a new addition last season, with subscribers now able to identify Fantasy assets with good records against specific clubs.

This will help you pinpoint players who perhaps perform better against weaker opposition and even those who thrive against the top teams, like Raúl Jiménez famously did in 2018/19.

HEAD-TO-HEAD COMPARISONS

Compare both teams and players head to head, with over 100 key statistics to study side by side.

PLAYER AND TEAM STATS

There are hundreds upon hundreds of player and team statistics available, which can help guide your Fantasy transfer decisions.

MATCH ANALYSIS

Analysis of every Premier League match (going back to 2011/12!), together with charts which plot average positions and our collection of heatmaps for touches, shots and chances created, among other statistics.

CUSTOM STATS TABLES

Premium Members can also create custom tables based on the data available and share them with other subscribers.

Perhaps the most famous of these is Joe’s Goals Imminent table, which looks to predict which underperforming assets will find the net next.

TESTIMONIES

2018/19 Fantasy Premier League champion Adam Levy was a paid-up Premium Member of our site and he discussed what tools of ours he finds most useful in an interview after his triumph.

In previous seasons we’ve helped FPL winners Tom Fenley and Simon March, while in 2015/16 we were thrilled to see Ed Masters – the winner of that year’s Members’ League – finish third in the overall rankings.

In 2017/18, Paul Gee went one better. He won our Members’ League and finished second, losing out to champion Yusuf Sheikh by just eight points.

      I’ll use the next three weeks to meticulously plan and then the last hour before the deadline will be blind panic. During the hour and a half period while the game updates, I’ll have little to no idea what my final squad looks like. Last year it contained John Stones.

      Favourite time of the season =)

    • Somar

      Who's the more nailed on Spurs defender?

      Dier

      or

      Davies

      1. MJF
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Be interested to see what people think as I am not confident on either.

        • Gringo Kid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Davies

        • JelliedSpark968
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Mourinho seems to love Dier for some reason

        • Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Probably davies but davies a shite option

          No ppint in investing 5m on a defender with ZERO attacking threat

          1. Champions League Varane
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Would love to know myself

        • Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          i read an article which mentioned that sessegnon might be given a chance this season so he ll be worth monitoring. ultimately I would pick aurier though.

          1. Egg noodle
            • 16 Years

            Rumours of Aurier leaving

            1. FPL Daniel
              • 16 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Dier for me

        • Chelsea Dagger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Dier

        • This is the year
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Both in my opinion but Davies has greater potential to score points.
          I would also add, I wouldn’t touch spurs defence as I think a Burnley 4.5 will score the same.

        Any Mods around??
        I just renewed my membership by paypal but cannot access the member's pages.
        I have logged in on the general homepage but when I go to the member's home page there is no content listed plus I am invited to log in again.
        When I do that, I get a message informing me that either "I am using the wrong name or password or my membership has expired."
        Please advise.....

      3. The Big Larsbowski

        Well balanced?

        Ryan-Button
        TAA-Doherty-KWP- Ferguson-Ayling
        Salah- Auba- Ziyech-ASM- Soucek
        Jimenez-Werner- Wickham

          It’s 2020 balance is not a prerequisite

          1. The Big Larsbowski
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Let me rephrase it: good to go?

            1. luke
              • 16 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Take it you plan to wildcard game 2? good to go

        2. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          balance is bollox, but pretty decent team - I'd rather a defender over ASM personally

          1. The Big Larsbowski
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks. But that would leave me with soucek ( tough schedule) and a crap 5th midfielder.

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              as long as you're happy that's all that matters, GL

      4. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        How is this for a 4-4-2

        Mcarthy

        Aurier Doherty VVD TAA

        Salah Son ASM Auba

        Mitro Ings

        Bench is fodder

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          solid

        2. Tony Moon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Decent, but Aurier rumoured to be leaving.

        3. This is the year
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I would do Aurier to 4.5 probably Taylor for Burnley and VVD to another 4.5 and then Mitro to Werner/Vardy/Jimi all consistent scorers bar Werner who is a gamble.

      5. JelliedSpark968
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I think I'm going to set myself up for a poor GW1, in order to be organised for GW2 and 3. Fernandes on the bench for the first week, then KdB can come in on GW3, whilst saving a FT in GW2. Anyone else with the same? I could go Greenwood on the bench, giving me more money for GW1 (I have Mitrovic and Adams up front with Ings, not great)

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Am considering the same, tbh. I could have Ziyech over Greenwood with a planned transfer for GW1 but I can field 11 that I'm happy with in GW1 while benching Greenwood, so think I'll do that.

        2. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          starting possibly with greenwood on the bench, i wouldnt have a 10.5m player on the bench though.

          1. Ciarant20
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I currently have Martial on the bench too, given Utds fixtures it could pay off and I don't want to wildcard too early

            1. Ajax Hamsterdam
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              wont fancy starting with werner ?

          Honestly think this is the best in game comp going. Much better than being knocked out of the cup by some dead team. Thanks for running it.

            Cheers & good luck. 🙂

      7. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        A or B please chaps medium to long term?

        A) Fernandes | (4.5 striker)
        B) Kane | (Soucek)

        Bracketed player is benched in both scenarios

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Kane is a tricky one to assess. I'm sure I'll buy him at some point.

          I'd start the season with Fernandes or prioritise a FT for GW2 if you can afford a 10.5m slot.

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks mate, I have Greenwood too if that changes anything

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              I'd say the ideal pairing would be Fernandes and Martial, but it depends on whether Liverpool rediscover their attacking explosiveness and how the new players at Chelsea bed in.

              I'm trying to avoid expensive players that I won't captain as those funds could be spread around. While I have Salah and Aubameyang, that means no Kane or Bruno.

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                Yes this is my thinking too, if I went B then my captaincy would rotate between Salah/KdB/Kane.

                I don’t feel like I’d captain Bruno, because I feel like I’d be mainly basing it on United getting a penalty!

                1. Twisted Saltergater
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 16 Years
                  5 years, 8 months ago

                  which they typically get!

                  1. Scapegoat Salah
                    • 9 Years
                    5 years, 8 months ago

                    True, just had a bit of a laugh - I can get the EXACT team I want but the downside is 2 x 4.0 keepers and 2 x 4.0 defenders haha:

                    Nyland
                    TAA | Doherty | Lamptey | Ferguson
                    Salah | KdB | Bruno | Greenwood | Soucek
                    Kane

                    Steer | Davis | Mitchell | Brewster

        2. JK 171
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          A for me praying for another slow start for Kane

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

          Got to be Kane with your username.

      8. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thoughts on Harvey Barnes!?!

        Feeling drawn towards him....

        Rodgers surely realises how poor they are without him?

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          maybe one week punt.

        2. Tomerick
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Was good last season but failed off post lockdown. Definitely one to monitor but I don’t see a great start for Leicester.

        3. Klaren
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          They were better without him post-lockdown.

          1. Klaren
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            After having another look, they actually weren't better as a team overall without him, they had some of their better or terrible performances when he was on the pitch but his individual performance wasn't great in any of the games.

        4. thepuntmaster
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Like the idea of Barnes, more than Maddison anyway. But v wary of Leicester being potentially slow to start.

        5. This is the year
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          For me avoid, he is not a guaranteed starter and rarely delivers big points like ASM and Traore are capable off.

      9. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Don't understand how people think someone like ASM or Armstrong + 4.0 def is better than 4.5 mid + someone like Davies or Egan. Seems a lot are just hell bent on going cheap at the back

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Bissouma + Bellerin for me.

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Yes Bellerin another good defensive pick. Also possibly AMN, Saiss

        2. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          higher ceilings probably. not keen on 4 at the back to be honest

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Higher ceiling because ASM will have one game during the entire season where he scores twice...? meanwhile Egan and Davies will tick along getting regular 6 pointers for CS with the occasional double digits when they get a corner goal/assist

            1. Ajax Hamsterdam
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              fair point.

        3. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          completely agree, there are actually quite a few decent 5.0 defenders to choose from too

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            have been looking at a 2x5m def combo and struggle to be honest.

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Sheff U have 3, Wolves have 2, Burnley have 3, Spurs 2, Arsenal 1 or 2, United 1 - a few of them actually have decent attacking threat too - probably the most stacked 'price point' on the game

              1. Ajax Hamsterdam
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                not sure about the blades this season. will look further at that price bracket thanks for reply

                1. SADIO SANÉ
                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 8 months ago

                  GL with decision, I think their first 5 fixtures are extremely good and I can't see them just capitulating as Wilder is the man

            2. Baps Hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Dier/Bavies and Saiss?

              1. Ajax Hamsterdam
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                are the spurs assets nailed though?

        4. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Well..Me neither. There is no certain 4.0 sure starter, but 4.5 mids who are capable to get 2-3 pts. Early WC plan might change things.

            You can take more risks when you have a wildcard in your back pocket.

            I’m thinking of going Trent - 4.5 x 2 - 4.0 x 2 and ploughing cash into the front seven. When I play my WC I’ll go safer.

            5 years, 8 months ago

            Hadn't really considered this before now but you're right, 5m def and 4.5m mid could be better.

            Can't believe how overlooked Egan is. Gained such confidence attacking set pieces at the end of last year, 5.0 could be a steal. He's been in my squad from the start.

          would say auba is essential for first 2 gws? my favourite draft doesnt have him in it. thanks.

            If he's through the middle in a 433 in the Charity Shield, he's a must.

            Looks good, my experience of elaborate transfer plans, especially at the start of the season, is that my head is turned as soon as games happen! That said, wary that Utd & City players will jump in price as soon as people start transferring them in for GW2.

          I saw a post on twitter, apologies for no link

          Wolves and Burnley rotation gives you only one top 6 team in 38 games

              Leicester isn't the worst fixture, if so.

          McCarthy Nyland

            Downgrade Traore and Bamford.

            1. Bring back Rafa
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Bamford

            • 16 Years

            Eith one less striker or one less defender . Personally I'd downgrade Aýling

            1. JK 171
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

            Bamford the clear one to go, yep

            1. JK 171
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Yea thanks folks back to the drawing board for me as I really don’t fancy any of the 4.5/5.0 strikers

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                Are you not going 4-4-2 anyway?

                1. JK 171
                  • 13 Years
                  5 years, 8 months ago

                  Yea planning 442 from the off but want to hold onto w/c so feel I need a city/utd plan. Traoré can become foden if he’s starting so just need the 0.5 for the son/rashford move

        11. FF Dirtbag
          • 14 Years

        12. Kristobal

            • 8 Years

            • 13 Years

            • 9 Years

            Could be great value

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              He also strikes me as a player who will score regardless of the fixture, I don’t mean fixture proof but can pop up in any game if that makes sense.
              Capoue esque maybe from a few years ago

              1. JURGENAUT
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                Yeah, I got him in my team too. Feel more confident now. Thanks

            • 12 Years

            Not a bad pick, but will only be in my squad if I need him to afford others.

        14. Kizza_10
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Can I get some advice on this team please. Would you swap out Doherty for Perriera and play 442 or just keep Doherty and have a back 5 ?

          McCarthy
          B.Davies TAA Doherty Gomez Egan
          Aubameyang Salah Son
          Mitrovic Werner

          Subs:
          Button, Soucek, Bissouma, Davies

          1. Hughes the Daddy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I'd get Davies and Son to feck and replace with Robbo and cheaper alternative to Son.

          2. JK 171
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I’d keep Doherty but not sure u need to spend that much in defence. Probably downgrade Egan as I just can’t see them doing as well this season defensively

          3. Tony Moon
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Way too much in defence. Having said that, you've got a decent team elsewhere too.

        15. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years

          Villa got a keeper yet? Or are we all going Nyland/Steer combo for 8.0 😉

            • 13 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks for this, any thoughts on Leko at WBA?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Didn't include him just as couldn't find any signs he'd even get close to playing. Think he's meant to be moving to Birmingham anyway actually?

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years

            5 years, 8 months ago

            Good article and is really relevant as I am looking for a 4.5 mid field gem!

        17. Saniul
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Okay, so I am back after taking two seasons off from FPL, but yes - I finally made a team for this year. Literally don't have a lot of clue, reading up a lot of stuff on the season right now. Here's a first stab at it.

          Ryan, £4.0,
          TAA, Saliba, KWP, £4.0, £4.0,
          Salah (c), Aubameyang, Son, Ziyech, Armstrong,
          Vardy, Ayew, £4.5

          * Ryan becomes Johnstone if Button moves to WBA.
          * Not a fan of spending on defence, still waiting to see if Vinagre remains an option, if not - will probably upgrade one £4.0 to Doherty, and get rid of Ziyech.
          *Love Soton's fixtures to start the season. Almost wanna get Adams ahead of Ayew.

          Thoughts, friends? Oh, and yes, hope you all are doing well! Guess a few people will know me from years back 🙂

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          I wonder how close we can get to making a team of all new players to the Prem?

          1. thepuntmaster
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Chelsea are nearly there

        19. thepuntmaster
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Mutterings over Reece James starting? Any Chelsea fans know if he's an actual option?

          1. JIMMY TUGGINS
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Looks like they'll definitely sign a LB so he'll be understudy to Azpi, probably in and out.

            1. thepuntmaster
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Cheers. Some people saying Azpi can play centre-back too?

              Hard to tell between Chelsea fans wanting him to play (which I do too - think he's a real talent), and actually thinking he will.

              1. JIMMY TUGGINS
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                Azpi won't play CB in a two and I doubt they'll play 5 at the back much this season with the attacking players they've signed, it'll be Thiago Silva and one, probably Rudiger, at CB.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            One of the downsides about all the buying, Reese, Tammy and Mason will see way fewer minutes

          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          How does starting with 3 12.0's sound, given it enables grabbing any of the MU/MC players with just 1 transfer...

          McCarthy
          TAA Aurier Justin
          Salah Mane Auba ASM Soucek
          Ings Mitrovic

          4.0; 4.5, 4.5, 4.0 (TBD)

          1. jtreble
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            ... or make one of your forwards a 10.5 and you can grab anyone ...

            1. That Was Easy!
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              I suppose this means a swap to an expensive forward costing (-4), hardly tough to swallow given the players that might come in on the hit.

              1. jtreble
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                No, what I'm suggesting is that instead of 3@12.0 mids you might consider 1@10.5 fwd and 2@12.0 mids for the flexibility it can provide (i.e., the ability to "grab" anyone) . GL.

          2. JK 171
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            For me it’s 1 too many. Mane is a great player but without pens should be 0.5 cheaper than Salah

            1. That Was Easy!
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              I agree, however he'd likely be a placeholder for Bruno/KDB/Sterling. I'm not sure I'll want to get rid of Auba any time soon, who most people seem to be using for their placeholder.

              I think the main thing is you really only need 2 captaincy options. This way, funds might not be well spent.

                Fair point teams looks good to me only really missing a Chelsea player but with frank in charge who knows how they will come out.

            this was my first impression/idea - but Son's fixtures are too good and Greenwood's price seems too low

          who would start, any of them nailed?

          cabellero or kepa?
          leno or martinez?

          wanna grab one for gw 1 before i wc my team for the manc teams' return

            any arsenal or chelsea fans in the house who know?

        22. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Have you found a good solution for utd/city players?
          I literally don't like any plans mentioned. Haven't been happy with my team since game launch.
          Placeholder? Which players?!
          Bench them for gw1?
          wC after gw1?
          Hold or sell salah?
          Rashford, yes or no?!
          Too many questions in my head

            imma wc it. honestly think it's the best point before christmas do it and can't really think of a reason not to if your team depends on it

            I can't even bring myself to think about it too much yet, I feel like so much will happen before the start of the season.

          Is it stupid to play with 3 premium and 2 poor mids

          Auba son salah soucek asm

          Son will be bruno
          Auba will be kdb

          But still 2 not that good mids ?

          1. arcticalex17
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            i like the look of pereira for west brom for £6.0m.
            if you want a mid range one who's a dead certain for assists, i reckon he's a good shout

          2. Under my Cucurella

            Swap asm for Armstrong and we're in the same boat with the same planned transfers. I also have 2.5ITB and only 1 playing bench for GW1 which feels wrong. But seems like the best strategy to get Bruno and KDB by GW3

        24. Champions League Varane
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Thoughts?
          McCarthy Steer/Nyland
          TAA Taylor/Vinagre Saliba ( if he starts charity shield) Davies Ferguson
          Salah Auba Periera ASM Gordon
          Werner Kane Mitrovic

          GW 2- Save Transfer
          GW 3- ASM Periera Auba ➡️ KDB Greenwood 4.5 = -4
          GW 4 Kane Badvies ➡️ Ings and Robertson ( price rises could be VVD) = -4
          GW 5 Potential Wildcard ( get Kane back)

            looks good, just a suggestion though:
            if ya planning on using the wildcard, which you can decide as to whether it's needed, then you should probably find a way of using it so you don't get two sets of deducted points beforehand...

            I don't think planning so far ahead works. Lot of gems come up which force you to transfer, your existing players might suck and you would want to bring in once expected to rise in price

            Don't you want to attack GW2: MUN (H) vs CRY?

          hate to flood the chat but does anyone know who would be the starting keepers for chelsea or arsenal?

            Anybody’s guess unfortunately man

              • 5 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              ah ok fair enough. wanted to grab one before i just wildcard them out for week two.
