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.”

        No - that's not an issue now. The WHam WBrom game is moved because of the FA Cup

    Bruno being sold in masses

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

      Hmm why?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        No idea

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

          Weird. Maybe the subbing is the reason

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years

      Madnesses

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      To make way for Salah.

    4. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      For salah?

  3. Rassi
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Yay

  4. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Rich -> Bamford for free?

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why not

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Other option just to save a transfer. Won't be using that spare cash for anything.

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yip

  5. Drogba Legend
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    which 2-3 players to drop to get Salah in?

    Mendy
    Chill - Robbo - Dallas - Dias
    KDB (C) - Son - Grealish
    Kane - DCL - Bam

    Steer - Ziyech* - Stephens* - Douglas*

    A) Kane + Ziy > Salah + 7.2 FWD (Wilson, Giroud, etc)
    B) Son + Ziy > Salah + 5.7 mid
    C) KDB > Salah and then get KDB back next week somehow
    D) DCL + Son + Ziy > Salah + Wilson + 6.9 mid (Mount?)
    E) Something else?

    Cheers!

    1. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Personally I'd remove Kane & Ziyech. Team would be delicious. Shame the bench is an absolute state!

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Similar position to me.

      Robbo/ziyech

  6. Nespinha
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mccarthy
    Bellerin, James, Robbo
    Grealish, KDB, Bruno, Son, Podence
    DCL, werner

    Subs: KWP + fodder

    A) Robbo Son - - - Dallas Salah
    B) Bellerin Son DCL - - - Dallas Salah Adams - 4
    C) Robbo Grealish DCL - - - Dallas Salah Bamford - 4

    Worth it to get Salah in?

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not for me

  7. SEXY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Really wish I had money ITB to do Sterling to Salah this week, would save me a lot of headaches!

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I bet!

    2. Sloane426
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      We’re similar rank and team. Could have done de Bruyne > Salah for free but went with Kane + Jota > Bamford + Salah -4 instead.

    3. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Surely a hit is worth it?

    Congrats to the FFS team!

    Which one until Gw16?
    A) Kane and grealish
    B) Salah and Watkins (-4)

    1. luk46
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ha, pretty much comes down to that right?
        Disappointing to lose grealish but think it's my only option

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah. I’m likely losing Kane, see below. But Salah seems a must over this period

    3. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Probably going with B, Werner and Grealish to Watkins and Salah

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

      Nice! Rests for James and Chillwell

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      If only slavkob agreed to my bet. I'd have a kidney to sell.

  11. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Prices aside, if you had to choose a pairing:
    a) Bruno + Mahrez
    b) KDB + Rashford

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Man that is hard. Have to say B

    2. luk46
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      has to be B

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      B - nailed

    5. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

  12. luk46

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ziyech Kane > Salah Bamford for -4 a no brainer, right?

    I would have no Spurs cover then, but feel like they wont score loads in the next few anyway...

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      See below. Sees the best route to get Salah

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Seems*

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah

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

      I'd go Wilson over Bamford myself. Kane could easily outscore Salah, too...!

      1. luk46
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        tough one imo, situation at Newcastle could go either way tbf + Leeds are a much better attacking side

    5. luk46
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks guys, feel even safer about it now!

  13. fc_skrald
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    The 3 players I never owned but maybe should have owned this season are all forwards. Will probably continue avoiding them...
    Kane
    DCL
    Vardy

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      First two have been exceptional for me

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy
      Bamford
      Bruno

      For me..

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So, Kane+Ziyech >> Bamford/Wilson+Salah for a -4? Only option I see. 0itb, 1FT.

    McCarthy
    James, Chilwell, Cresswell
    KDB, Bruno, Ziyech*, Jota, Grealish
    Kane, DCL
    (4.0, Justin, Mitchell, Davis**)

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Bamford for me.

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yep. You get to keep grealish which is good!

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah. Shame you have to lose him but guessing it’s your only route

    4. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Though to sell Kane but I think those are your best moves to get Salah in.

    5. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah. Sound decent. Hard to lose Kane, but I did the same.

    6. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yip

  15. Rover
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What is the best route to fund Salah?

    A) Jimenez to Wilson (if Newcastle games go ahead)
    B) Jimenez to Welbeck
    C) Vardy to Ings
    D) Jota to Neto

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A could be great.

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

  16. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I have really stepped up on my captaincy points!

    (Captain points) 208 / (Total points) 662 = 31,4%

    The total score points ain't too impressive tho X)

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      only 152 points for me as I had a shocking first 4GWs where I failed to get a single captain goal. Since then only had one fail

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        156 infact*

  17. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Need to shave off 0.3 somewhere to get me Salah in but where to downgrade?

    Martinez
    Cancelo Dias Chilwell
    KDB Jota Bruno Grealish Salah
    DCL Watkins

    Forster Coufal Kilman Brewster

    a) DCL to Bamford
    b) Cancelo to Ayling
    c) Kilman to 3.9 fodder

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B with Dallas, or C

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B possible with James over Ayling?

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        0.1 short, could get James in next week if I go with C though

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          What about Dier?
          4 clean sheets for Spurs in a row. That includes City, Chelsea and Arsenal(lol).

          1. Gazza2000
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Would like to have some attacking threat from my defenders though, rather have James next week

            1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              I see. The only reason why I don't like C is because I believe it will be important to have a decent bench. But go with your guts!

    Seems sooooo wrong selling Vardy before Brighton 🙁

    Jota➡️Salah
    Vardy➡️Brewster - 4

    (have Kdb/Bruno/Grealish/Neto)

    Leaves me 1.2itb but will only Dallas as a playing sub...

    Is it really worth it???

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Felt the same, but Salah(c) is a must

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same with Kane below. But need Salah

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Above, sorry

        1. camarozz

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 8 Years

            Team is above. Justin & Mitchell subs. Will WC in 16

    3. Footieboot
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Personally not doing it. Need to sacrifice Vardy and Son to get Salah as well as a -4 on top of that. Does not feel right.

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You have Jota?

      2. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I am turning to this decision?

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Can't you keep Jota and dump Neto instead? Ditching Jota against Fulham could be awful too.

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        O.1 short of Neto out instead damn it! Of course if I did it last nite could have.

  20. Salarrivederci
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What to do? 0.1 ITB & 1 FT

    McCarthy
    Robertson - Chilwell - Lamptey
    (K)DB - Fernandes - Son - Grealish - Bowen
    Vardy - Bamford

    (Martínez, Cresswell, Brewster, Mitchell)

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Prolly nothing this week tbh.. Maybe Hokey Cokey with KDB to Salah. Then Vardy + Son to Watkins/Wilson + KDB next week

  21. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Which option scores more this week?

    A) Robertson, Soucek, Richarlison
    B) Ayling, Salah, Wilson

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah outscores the other three by himself

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Very difficult to predict. B for me.

  24. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 10 Years

    Curious to today's Telles performance OOP, doubt he would continue to be deployed as a winger

  25. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Would love it if Bruno drops in price before deadline. Wow that's crazy. -64.3%.

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

      No it's +64.3

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ah I misread. Oh well. Not gonna happen. But at least he won't go up! I can get him next week at 10.9m.

    If I can swing this team should I?

    James Bednarek Lewis
    Son KDB Bruno Salah
    Welbeck Bamford Kane

    Button Bissouma Mitchel Douglas 0inb

      Absolutely yes. Do you have to do a hit or two...not that I think that would matter in the long term.

        I have 2 ft and it would require a couple hits. Problem is Ziyech is losing value and Salah gaining...so tomorrow I might not be able to do this fund wise. Long term, I think having potentially the top 5 scorers over the season should negate the hit. I am trying to make up some ground in my mini league and looking at the other teams, no one will be able to come close to fielding such a roster until WC time...which by them price changes may not allow them to do it.

    Any ideas on what do fellas?

    0.9 ITB
    2 FT

    Martinez
    Cancelo | Cresswell | Chillwell
    Salah | Sterling | Podence | Son
    Watkins | Werner | DCL

      Bench: Steer, Lamptey, Anguissa and Mitchell

    2. JBG

      Upgrade Mitchell if you don't want to burn a transfer or transfer Cancelo to a Pool defender.

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

        Could do both, who's the best Mitchell upgrade?

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

          Could do Matip for Cancelo

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

            Yeah why not.

        2. JBG

          Dallas maybe? OOP defender.

    I need Salah, and I'm a bit short on funds.
    Kane, Armstrong, Konsa > Brewster, Salah, Neco for a -8? 0 ITB, 1FT.
    Thanks!

    McCarthy
    Justin, Zouma, Chilwell, Dunne

      Apparently, Grealish has a twin. Disregard the second one!

    "We'll play the game to win, I don't rotate the team," said Guardiola.

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years

      Sterling 90mins confirmed.

    2. Zimo

      He's just saying that because he's too proud to admit it. If he plays main players tomorrow then I'm officially labelling him as a mediocre manager who can't win Champions League without Messi

    3. Dr Dream

      I’ve never thought he does...not rotating for the sake of rotating anyway. If players look fit and sharp they play is how I’ve always thought of it. I also think Whalen a player looks jaded he keeps them out of the firing like for longer than other managers, hence the likes of Sterling disappear for a few games, not just rested for one.
