Fantasy Football Scout voted as ‘best editorial’ at Football Content Awards 2020

Fantasy Football Scout has been voted as the ‘best editorial’ in Fantasy Football for 2020.

That’s according to the Football Content Awards who revealed the results at a virtual ceremony on Tuesday, December 8.

The competition in our category was fierce with Athletic columnist FPL General, Premier Injuries’ Ben Dinnery, Fantasy Football Fix and Fantasy Football Hub.

Delighted Fantasy Football Scout editor David Munday said: “It is a great honour to receive this award.

“FFS is dedicated to providing high-quality, industry-leading content for Fantasy managers worldwide and it is wonderful to see that recognised by the football community.

“I would like to thank our incredible roster of contributors who regularly submit insightful articles as well as my hard-working deputy editor Neale Rigg. I strongly believe his Kanté-esque graft in midfield is the secret to our success.

“And, of course, full credit goes out to our readers and members who make all of this possible with their unerring support to FFS.”

    Do you think Mendy is worth 0.3 over Martinez?

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      In isolation yes but id rather double up on defenders becuase theyre getting so many attacking points

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      Yes.

      High CS potential low save point and bonus potential. Worth 0.3 more than Martinez? Probably because I don't rate Villa defence.

      I prefer Meslier and the 0.5 saving though

    Guys plz sell one for Salah

    Son
    Kane
    KDB
    Bruno

    Losing value on a player by selling then getting back layer not an issue becuase the TV is very high

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane for me

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Neither of them..

    4. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Son

    5. Salah(c)
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bruno 100%

      Dont lose spurs assets

  3. Shifty
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If own Sterling and no KDB, no brainer to shift Sterling > Salah (c) for free, right?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. And plan to get KDB in 13.

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Correct.

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah and have a plan to get KDB in for GW13

    4. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

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

    Martinez
    Robertson Chilwell Cancelo Dallas
    Fernandes Son KDB Grealish
    DCL Bamford

    Forster Foden Brewster Ferguson

    1 FT, 1.9 itb

    How’s this for a plan with fixtures in mind:

    GW12: Fernandes >> Salah
    GW13: Son Foden >> Soucek Fernandes

    Thoughts?

    Thanks

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      Not too shabby

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years

        Thank
        You sir

  5. Jamb0

    3 years, 4 months ago

    What to do here guys? I have 0.0itb and 2FT's:

    McCarthy
    Chilwell Robbo Dallas
    Salah KDB Grealish Jota
    Vardy DCL Bamford

    Forster Lewis Bissouma 3.9

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That’s a good team, just use a FT to upgrade a bench player and roll the other

      1. Jamb0
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        But who? I like Lewis fixtures, any better player at 4.3?
        Bissouma is 4.5 and plays.. not sure there's a better option at that price?

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jota + Vardy > JWP + Kane?

      1. Jamb0
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Fixtures just too good for Jota and Vardy this week.. although they are on top of my list of moves for coming weeks

  6. JAYPEE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What’s the better option:
    A) Werner, Bamford, Brewster
    B) Wilson, Bamford, Watkins

    1. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

  7. Karan14

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on Jota to Bowen after the Fulham game?

    Will likely build a team for DGW19 and FH in BGW18.

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A bit too early to think about I guess, would you be doing the move regardless of the DGW? If yes, then let that make the decision easier for you, but don't let that be the key factor in the move imo

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I like West Ham's fixtures and their attack is posting decent stats. Also Bowen has looked really good past 2 games. I'm a bit worried about Jota's game time as Klopp seems to be preferring 433 and I can only see him getting mins when he wants to rest one of Firmino, Mane or Salah although that might happen more than I think it will.

        1. Rhodes your boat
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Agree Bowen has looked good, reassess after the weekend

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

    How is this for a team (after 2 fts used)

    Mccarthy

    Chilwell Zouma Lewis (justin)

    KDB Salah Son Bruno Grealish

    DCL Bamford (brewster)

  9. tibollom
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wait for end of week or do my 2 FTS now? 2 FT and 0.4 ITB

    Ziyech + Rahs to Salah + Neto?

    Ryan Button
    LAmptey dallas robbo chillwell ferguson
    rash ziyech grealish soucek kdb
    kane bam dcl

    I know it's way too early to think about this but those who are not using WC, how many DGW players will you plan to have in your team roughly for the DGW19?
    Hard to tell atm without the fixtures but still...

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Really depends on what other teams will blank in GW18.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I guess this is it, gotta wait for more updates.

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ideally I'd like to use my 5 transfers between GW13-19 to get DGW players. Id like a full 11 of DGW players tbh.

  11. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Vestegaard the new Van Dijk?? I think Liverpool will buy him soon

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He's good but can honestly see Salisu displacing him at some point later in the season

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        The guy is not good enough to join first team atm??

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He was injured, will get chances in Cup games now to prove his worth

      2. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Or after Ves to join Liverpool at Jan

  12. Salah(c)
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mendy

    Coufal webster ayling

    Son salah jota mahrez bruno

    What’s the better option:

    C) Wilson, Bamford, DCL

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years

      D) Ings, Bamford, Wilson?

      1. JAYPEE
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

    No Salah & no idea, just ride out the Fulham game?

    Or Bruno & Jota > Salah & Jota?

    Martinez,
    Zouma, Chilwell, Robbo
    Bruno, Son, Jota, Mahrez, Grealish
    Kane, Bamford

    Forster, DCL, Coufal, Lamptey,

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years

    Interested to know how people think about long-term planning when it comes to FPL. We talk a lot about the short term, because that's what we feel we can predict better, for lots of obvious reasons (fewer unknowns/current stats etc). And it's what we can respond to better, for lots of obvious reasons (FTs, chips etc). But we rarely talk about long term planning, and it is a thing. It has to be a thing, because we only get 1FT a week. We can't afford to be responsive in every way and every position we would like

    An example of this is DCL. I don't own him as I ended up with Wilson. So when Wilson got blanked my move was obviously Bamford. DCL is scoring a goal a game. He's projected to score 38 goals at this rate... thirty eight! That's not going to happen. Not even close. We know statistically speaking the upper limit is 30 goals, and that 20-25 is more probable, especially for a player at a middling team and without any set pieces. So I'm willing to bet that his 7.3ppg is going to crash to closer 4ppg over an. extended period in time.

    Anyone else look beyond stuff like xG xGp xGnp etc and think in terms of long term broader probabilities when having to cut corners and looking at which parts of their team they let ride, or which players they don't own, but that longer term might end up being safe to avoid?
