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.”

        Predictions aren't 100% exact. He will rise tomorrow. (Still not ready to pull the trigger to ditch DCL for him.)

      Don't do anything

      I'm in complete agreement. Leave it as it is and if it doesn't work out in hindsight, know that 3 of us thought that.

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

      If looks like Jota not playing then maybe lose him.

    5. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jota needs to be Bruno

    6. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jota, Robbo & Vardy to Bruno, Wilson & 4.5

    7. DOCLES
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same situation and will go Vardy to Wilson this week, 2 frees next week and plenty in the bank.

      Obviously a risk with Vardy, but Leicester don't look great and Wilson could just as easily haul against West Brom at home.

    8. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not really anything you can do there, but you could do with Son and Bruno.

    9. Gayleforcewins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      I would make you sure you 4.0 keeper is the other Saints one. Guarantee a playing goalkeeper rather than burn, but nice team

    Just made transfers- g2g?

    Martinez
    Chillwell / KWP / Dias

    1. Joggers Nipple

      All good

  5. Joggers Nipple
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Morning, excuse a complicated way of asking but-

    Martinez
    Chilwell Cancelo James
    Salah KDB ????? ????? Grealish
    Bamford DCL
    Forster Dallas Brewster ?????? 1ft 3.8M ITB

    A Jota, Bruno, 3.9 def ( Jota this week, Bruno next 0.3ISH ITB)
    B Son, Soucek, Robbo ( 1 move, Robbo this week 0.5 ITB)
    C Son Soucek 3.9 def ( my team now so save, 3.8M ITB)

    If you understand that and have any input thank you

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      a or c but upgrade defender to 4.5

        Cheers

  6. dark91

    Are people keeping DCL and Everton assets in general or time to move on?
    West Ham, Leeds, and others' fixtures starting to look appealing

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Keeping for me, Dcl with 1 of Bamford/ Wilson etc seems ok with a strong mid

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

        Yep exactly this

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

      Dcl still ticking over nicely. Only everton asset i'd be interested in.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      keeping DCL - 7mill a great price for him so no need to sell

    4. Cahill17
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I am keeping DCL but if I had any other Everton players I would be looking to move them on

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

      Keeping DCL. Top goalscorer, LIDL price.

  7. Arctic monkeys
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you this for free ?

    Son and Werner to Salah and Watkins. Other players in midfield are Bruno, De Bruyne and Grealish.

    Cheers

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

      Or Bamford

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Have him already, and DCL

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      would keep Son but sell Werner to free up cash for planning next week

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

        Sounds good then

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I don’t have Werner but got a feeling he will score a brace against Everton.

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

    I have already made my move this week getting in Salah but team kinda feels unbalanced. What advice would you give for this team? if Newc game goes ahead I'm happy with Wilson short term but how best to pivot from GW15. 1.3m itb

    Martinez Steer
    Robbo Coufal Ayling Taylor Mitchell
    Salah Kdb Bruno Grealish Soucek
    DCL Bamford Wilson

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      team is balanced

    2. Cahill17
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think your team looks good. You have a good def, Mid looks very strong, FWDs are a bit light but a lot of managers are going that way. and you have a decent bench with a good 8th attacker.

      I would just have a plan to bring back son or Kane when spurs fixtures get good.

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

        thanks mate. not keen on 352 but will assess the heavy hitter midfield

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

      Balanced enough if the budget forwards keep delivering. Just pray those points don't dry up and Son and Kane do not hurt you too much over the holiday period.

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

        yep banking on the cheaper forwards
        recently moved kane to jesus which didn't move but wilson funded salah back

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

    would you do this for a -8 hit?

    Mahrez, Hamez, Kane > Salah, Son, Brewster

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      no

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

        here is my mid and fwd

        Grealish, Mahrez, Bruno, Jota, Hames
        DCL, Bamford, Kane

        if I do the transfer this will be my squad
        Grealish, Salah, Bruno, Jota and Son
        DCL, Bamford. Brewster

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Kane & Hamez/Jota to Watkins/Wilson & Salah

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

        sorry it was hames not jota

    2. Cahill17
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't do it for a -8

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

      No.

      1. kobewan
        • 4 Years

        thank you

    Thoughts on this initial future transfer plans

    Mccarthy
    Taylor / Justin / James
    Salah / KDB / Grealish / Son
    Vardy / DCL / Bamford

    4.0 / Mendy / Masuaku/ Kilman

    2FT 0.0 ITB

    GW12 - Justin to Dallas
    GW13 - Vardy and Son to Watkins/Wilson and Bruno
    GW14 - Kilman to Dias
    GW15 - Mendy to Soucek

    with 1.0 ITB for price changes

    GW15 team
    Mccarthy
    Dias / Dallas / James
    Salah / KDB / Grealish / Bruno
    Wilson / DCL / Bamford

    4.0 / Souvek / Masuaku/ Taylor

    I know things will change but just planning ahead

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

    RMT

    Martinez
    Reguilon - Chilwell - Justin - Coufal - Mitchell
    KDB - Son - Jota - Grealish - Anguissa
    Vardy - Kane - DCL

    1 FT 0ITB

    A) Vardy + Son --> Bamford + Salah -4
    B) Vardy + Reguilon + Jota --> Salah + Bamford + Lewis -8
    C) Roll transfer to bring Bruno + Bamford for Vardy+Jota next week

    A and B won't allow me to return to double Spurs easily or get 4 premiums but C leaves me with 0 Liverpool cover and no Salah for this week

    1. Cahill17
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I would go C but that is probably easy for me to say as I already have Salah.

  12. AlpoShearer
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane and Jota to Salah (C) and Welbeck -4?

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

    thank you for the replies

    will settle for a Hamez, Mahrez > for JWP, Son for a -4 hit?

    how does this sounds?

    if do the transfer my new mid Grealish, Son, JWP, Jota, Bruno

    1. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not worth a hit for me. I’d take a hit to get salah first.

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

    From week 13 onwards - deciding between Kane or Grealish. Which way would you go?

    1. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane!

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Where does the 3m+ go?

  15. jaguar shark
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who to downgrade to bring in Salah?

    A. Robertson
    B. DCL

    They are about even on rmt

  16. Uncle Gamst
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Will Wilson & Salah (-4) cover Kane and Fernandes? All are penalty takers. Wilson has great fixtures over next 3 GWs.

    I will be unable to swap back anytime soon as will lose value on Fernandes and be 0.1 short. But the move will free up funds to bring in Grealish for Jota and upgrade Button and Mitchell.

    Liverpool might have Fulham but play Spurs next week when United have Sheff U.

    McCarthy
    Lamptey, KWP, Dias
    Fernandes, Son, KdB, Jota
    DCL, Kane, Bamford
    Button, Bissouma, Mitchell, Target

    Thanks

    1. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’m looking at a similar move and would prefer DCL to Watkins.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      players from different teams do not cover anything ... but will Wilson & Salah (-4) out score Kane and Fernandes? ... I doubt it but if anyone knows for sure they must have a crystal ball and will win FPL

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

        lol and thanks

        That's why I'm having so much difficulty deciding...no crystal ball 😉

  17. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is getting Jota still a no brainer ?

    1. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Do you have salah already? If so, yes.

    2. FantasyHero
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think so...just didn't start 1 gw and ppl already turning away.

  18. OPTA FPL

    With United was out, Bruno is a must have now?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea

    Whats happening with UCL fantasy given the psg game postponement?
    I have a psg player as captain and still the game is locked out with my captain having 2 pts. Am I gonna be able to make subs?
    This is my first year doing ucl fantasy...anyone has any experience ?

    1. Holmes

      Apparently the game will be played today

  20. FantasyHero
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Whats best:
    1. Hamez to Jota
    2. Hamez & fernandes to jota & Mane -4
    3. Hamez & Vardy to Salah & Watkins -4

    Team:
    Martinez steer
    Lamptey chilly Dallas coufal Mitchell
    Kdb fernandes* Son hamez* Bissouma
    DCL Bamford Vardy*

    1. The FPL Units

  21. Flair
    • 3 Years

    United in the EL? Inject it in my veins. Shame I couldn't attend the match of glory in real time though. Brilliant play from RBL yet again.

  22. Kloppen Schloppen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Jota vs Zaha.

    Jota has the fixtures but not the guarantee of minutes. Zaha has the minutes but the horrendous fixtures.

    Who would you take for December?

    1. Mile Plankton
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Minutes

    2. roach04
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Zaha has racked up a lot of points vs. 10 men. If you need a guaranteed starter, Zaha. The upside and potential for Jota is much higher. Liverpool has Ful-Tot-Cry-WBA-New --- only Spurs are a tough matchup - even if Jota only starts 3 of the 5, he could go off. (Fulham, WBA and New could be feeding frenzy type games!). It is a tough call, but I'd go Jota.

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

      Neither

  23. 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?

    1. Mile Plankton
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I want Son against Liverpool.

      I also need to get Salah somehow, but I feel Son is essential.
      I am almost wishing for someone to get injured/ill at this point.

  24. Mile Plankton
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How essential is Salah this GW?

    I have:
    Son - KDB - Bruno - Grealish - (4.5)
    Kane - DCL - Bamford

    1FT, 0.6 ITB
    Just enough for KDB -> Salah.

    It feels like the easiest move to sell KDB, since nobody im my ML owns him and everyone owns Salah.
    But it also feels like a wrong move selling KDB after he was my captain last two GWs, and since I want him to be my captain next GW.

    Is it madness to do KDB->Salah now and vice versa next week?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Grealish & Kane to Salah & Watkins ?

      1. Mile Plankton
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not selling Kane, no way.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          well you can not have Son KDB - Bruno - Kane & Salah ...

    2. roach04
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You could do the KDB to Salah and then back to KDB next GW?

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

      It is not madness. It is perfectly reasonable.

      1. Mile Plankton
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, But how I'm gonna make myself sell Salah after he goes off against Fulham?

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

          By realizing that KDB vs West Brom is miles better than Salah vs Spurs.

  25. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Pick 2:
    A) James
    B) Justin
    C) Cancelo

    1. Mile Plankton
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I am playing Justin this week, but I'll say A & C.

  26. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years

    A) Ings+Son
    B) Bamford+Fernandes

  27. bigdip

      Ok then, is this madness?

      Grealish, DCL & Guaita -> Salah, Brewster & 4.0 GK (-8)

      Gives me:
      Martinez/4.0
      James/Coufal/Lamptey/Justin/Targett
      Salah(c) - KDB - Bruno - Son - Romeu
      Kane - Bamford - Brewster

      Can Salah (c) beat Grealish + DCL + 8?
