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.”

        • 15 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

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

          • 15 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          WHam's cup game v Stockport has been moved to Mon 11th and they were due to play WBrom on Tue 12th, It will now be played the following midweek

    Bruno being sold in masses

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

      Hmm why?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        No idea

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

          Weird. Maybe the subbing is the reason

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years

      Madnesses

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

      To make way for Salah.

    4. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      For salah?

  3. Rassi
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Yay

  4. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Rich -> Bamford for free?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Why not

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 10 Years
        5 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
      • 16 Years

      Yip

  5. Drogba Legend
    • 8 Years
    5 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. MJF
        5 years, 4 months ago

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

      • Snooze ya lose
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Similar position to me.

        Robbo/ziyech

    2. Nespinha
      • 10 Years
      5 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
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Not for me

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      5 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
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I bet!

      2. Sloane426
        • 6 Years
        5 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
        • 10 Years
        5 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
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        B

      2. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Salah

        1. waltzingmatildas
          • 15 Years
          5 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
            • 10 Years
            5 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
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

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

      4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        B

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Indeed! Think I just said those two as they’re in my squad 🙂

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

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

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

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

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Man that is hard. Have to say B

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

        has to be B

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

        B

      4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        B - nailed

      5. Snooze ya lose
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        5 years, 4 months ago

        B

    8. luk46
      • 7 Years
      5 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
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        See below. Sees the best route to get Salah

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Seems*

      2. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yes

      3. waltzingmatildas
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah

      4. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

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

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

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

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

        Thanks guys, feel even safer about it now!

    9. fc_skrald
      • 10 Years
      5 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
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        First two have been exceptional for me

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Vardy
        Bamford
        Bruno

        For me..

    10. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      5 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…
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yes

      2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yes. Bamford for me.

      3. waltzingmatildas
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yep. You get to keep grealish which is good!

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

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

      4. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

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

      5. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

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

      6. Snooze ya lose
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Yip

    11. Rover
      • 9 Years
      5 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
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        A could be great.

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

        A

    12. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      5 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
        • 6 Years
        5 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
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          156 infact*

    13. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 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…
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        C

      2. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        B with Dallas, or C

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

        A

      4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        B possible with James over Ayling?

        1. Gazza2000
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 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
            • 9 Years
            5 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
              • 14 Years
              5 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
                • 9 Years
                5 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!

    15. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      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
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

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

      2. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Same with Kane below. But need Salah

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Above, sorry

          1. camarozz
            • 11 Years

            Wats yer benches like?

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

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

      3. Footieboot
        • 5 Years
        5 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
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          You have Jota?

        2. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I am turning to this decision?

      4. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

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

        1. camarozz
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

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

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

      Which option scores more this week?

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

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years

        Salah outscores the other three by himself

        Very difficult to predict. B for me.

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

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

      1. Zimo

        No it's +64.3

          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.

          1. Zimo

            Yes this is true

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

        1. ronesjyan
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          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

      1. MoSalalalalalalalalah

        Bench: Steer, Lamptey, Anguissa and Mitchell

      2. JBG
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

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

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

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

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

            Could do Matip for Cancelo

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

              Yeah why not.

          2. JBG
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            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!

        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
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Sterling 90mins confirmed.

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        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
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        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.
