Jobs

Want to work with Fantasy Football Scout? Get in touch…

As the 2020/21 campaign rolls towards its conclusion, Fantasy Football Scout are looking to make another new signing.

Hot on the heels of the full-time arrival of Charles ‘Az’ Phillips, we are looking for a full and/or part-time back-end developer to come and assist our development plans for 2021 and beyond.

While ‘full-stack’ skills are always welcome, we are really looking for a back-end developer with a few years experience capturing requirements and delivering projects with experience of PHP, WordPress and MySQL.

Main Duties Include:

  • Supporting the existing site and tools
  • Developing new features

Back-End Skills (Needed)

  • API design and development
  • PHP
  • MySQL
  • Apache
  • WordPress
  • Ubuntu
  • Ansible

Front-End Skills (Useful, but not essential)

  • HTML, JavaScript and CSS
  • Sass
  • React
  • Query 
  • Bootstrap
  • AJAX

Experience

  • BSC Computer Science or related 2.1 min
  • Two years minimum commercial experience

Setup

Full-time role desired, but we can also consider part-time (two to five days per week).

We do work remotely but, ideally, we would like to get together in person on occasion, so if you are based in/around London (or able to get there relatively easily), that is an advantage. 

However, those that work outside of London should still feel like they can apply. Talent is ultimately more important to us than Postcode.

If you are interested, then please APPLY HERE: jobs@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk

If you can include samples of your work as well as your CV that would be most helpful.

      Wow, Cancelo is surprisingly high.

      Is Son fit? Will KDB start?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        These odds are based on the players starting

    3. Pukki Blinders

      Been sleeping on Everton defence this week

      Alonso looking best punt before I WC.

    5. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Do bookies do odds for FPL assists?

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Good point

    6. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Where is Raphinha?

  2. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Which is the better duo for WC31?

    A) Mendy+Areola

    B) Lloris+Sanchez

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Silly not to have Forster imo

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I would rather just go with Mendy and Forster and use the 0.5 elsewhere on an outfield player that has a higher ceiling than a GK

      1. b91jh
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Cheers. Thought McCarthy has taken back his place.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Nope

  3. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Must admit I am very jealous of people who still have a WC.

    So many players I'd like to bring in over the next few weeks.... I guess a couple of hits will be needed.

  4. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Best combo on WC

    A. Raph + Ihenacho
    B. Bam + Gundo

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      A

  5. Lemongrab
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Bale owners... if Son is passed fit would you do Bale to Son for security of starts?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Based on recent comments from Bale and the last team Mourinho put out then yes but Bale looked decent in the two Wales game

      1. FPLRaiser
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        I think too much is being made of Bale's comments personally. So he said he wants to eventually go back to Madrid. So what?

        They're his employers at the end of the day. They pay his wages (well half anyway). What else is he going to say? Publicly slate them and say he never wants to play for them again..? Why burn bridges?

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      After two cracking games for Wales if you have a Bale hold & if Son passed fit use another route?

      1. Lemongrab
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        No other easy route to get him unfortunately. The fact that he didn't even get off the bench in the last game is weighing on my mind

  6. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Bench two...

    A) ntonio
    B) ale
    C) resswell
    D) ias

    Currently on A and D, but worried about Bale's benching.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      CD

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      BD

    3. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I don't think you can bench Bale vs Newcastle given how awful they are, just hope he starts. so C and D.

  7. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    How many minutes KDB v Leicester do you reckon guys?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Probably full game. Expect the game to be tight

    2. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      90

    3. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Cheers chaps

    4. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I think he plays full game and rested against Leeds.

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Yes especially with the return game with Dortmund around the corners. Thanks for the response

    5. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      90 minutes and City to crush Leicester - rotated Arsenal managed it after all

  8. cescpistols111
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Any changes you’d suggest to this wildcard draft? 0.0 ITB, no other chips left.

    Will switch out Dallas after GW30.

    Leno Button
    Stones Dallas Coady Rudiger N.Williams
    KDB Bruno Jota Lingard Burke
    Kane Vardy DCL

    1. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Can you go Mendy instead of Leno?

      1. cescpistols111
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Won't be able to stretch unless I change another player.

        1. Lemongrab
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Arsenal fixtures may be good but they haven't kept a clean sheet for 11 games. You could consider Ihenacho instead of Vardy and then you've got money itb if you wanted to upgrade elsewhere

          1. cescpistols111
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            Iheanacho has security of starts?

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Bench is pretty weak with only 1 playing bench player, Williams and Burke. Jota, KDB, Stones and Rudiger all potentially susceptible for rotation. I would downgrade Vardy to Nacho and use those funds

  9. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Morning....what would you do here, ahead of gw31 wildcard?

    Martinez
    Dias cancelo dallas (coufal dunk)
    Son bale mount raphinha (lingard)
    Kane dcl watkins

    A....Bale to bruno

    B...dunk to alonso bench a city player

    Thanks

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      B - Utd will have a tough game against Brighton

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years

        Cheers

  10. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    I think Christensen is being really overlooked. Seems to be Tuchel's go to man in the Chelsea rearguard in the Prem and interestingly in the last four GWs he's beaten the more expensive Azpi for points (30 to 28). Rudiger could be saved for Porto only heightening the Dane's chances.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Veltman straight to him does seem appealing!

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        He's in my team right now for the Chelsea double up

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          do you have wc?

          I don't and my only concern is he loses his spot or is rotated with their plethora of options, what are your thoughts on that?

          1. Milk, 1 Šuker
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            See below

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      When Silva comes back he’s done

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Silva due back from injury this weekend and the reason Christensen got a run in the team. I would keep an eye on that one

      Ben Dinnery

    4. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      All - this is a one week punt, next week he becomes Tierney

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Is Christensen really the player you want to bring in as a 1 week punt?

        1. Milk, 1 Šuker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          If he continues to deliver the points he has and I don't like any other defenders then why not? I haven't got too much in the bank either.

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            Fair enough. He is a bonus magnet. Just not an exciting 1 GW punt

      2. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Silva could be back this week though... don’t be too clever mate as I think Rudiger is above Christen in the pecking order. Silva would come straight in you’d imagine

        1. Milk, 1 Šuker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          It's not about being clever pal, it's just careful research. However I do get your point about Silva, sounds like he could be back soon, but not this weekend if Tony's link above is anything to go by. You think Rudi starts this weekend?

          1. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            If Silva isn’t fit then Christen is pretty safe tbf given Rudiger playing over the IB, though I think Azpi is a no brainer if you have the funds

            1. Milk, 1 Šuker
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 27 days ago

              Need to hear from the pressers tbh to know who to go for

          2. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            Ben Dinnery is the go-to for player injury status. Silva injury status hasn't been updated since before IB so keep an eye on the pressers.

            1. Milk, 1 Šuker
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 27 days ago

              Haha see comment above!

  11. Netters2018
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    1FT 2.4m ITB, GTG and save?

    Mendy
    Digne, Shaw, Rudiger
    Salah, Gundogan, Bruno, Raphina
    Bamford, DCL, Kane
    Bench - Targett, Foden, Dier

    Probs get rid of foden and dier and bring in Lingard + tot def

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Keep an eye on Gundo's mins tonight. He will have played 3 games in 6 days

      1. Netters2018
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Thanks just realised rudiger and digne are in the same boat both playing 2 sets 90 already.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Rudiger is a bit of a risk but not sure how the other Chelsea CBs have done during IB. I expect Digne to start at the weekend

  12. Old Gregg

    Hello!

    Martinez
    Alonso-Rudiger-Shaw
    Son-Salah-Raph-Gund-Mount
    Kane - Bam

    Areola-Antonio-Stones-Burn

    Which moves/bench please?

    1FT
    a) Salah > Bruno (get Jota next week)
    b) Save

    Start
    1) Gundo
    2) Antonio

  13. Kodap

    3 years, 27 days ago

    Morning guys, what is my best plan of action with this lot? Brought Auba in for last GW but quickly want rid of him.. plan is to WC in 31, so I'm happy making 2 transfers for a -4 this week as I'm quite far ahead in my leagues. Auba & Son the obvious two to lose or someone else? 1FT and 7.1m in the bank.

    Martinez
    Coufal - Stones - Shaw
    Son - Trossard - Raphina - Auba
    DCL - Kane - Bamford

    Bench: Areola - Dunk - Dier - Soucek

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Don't see why Son is the 'obvious' choice to lose. Auba to Bruno/KDB/Salah, take your pick

  14. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Morning all

    I’m looking to trade veltman to a Chelsea defender to double up with mendy

    Who would be your choice?, I have 2m in the bank, don’t mind a slight rotation risk if it means a bigger potential

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Rudiger

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      If you want upside then enjoy Alonso and his benchings every second week

    3. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      You know my thoughts Stevie

    4. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Alonso if you can afford and have a decent bench.
      Alonso worth the C badge too with Kane VC if you want to make up some ground

  15. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Martinez
    Cancelo Dias Shaw
    Salah Bruno Son Gündo Raphinha
    Kane DCL

    (Fabri Antonio Struijk Burn)
    0.0m & 1 FT

    Cancelo ➡️ Rudiger for free?
    Frees up funds for Gundo ➡️ Jota in GW31 or 32.

    Thoughts?

  16. artvandelay316
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    How many people have already got rid of Salah or are thinking of doing so?

    I'm thinking of getting rid of him. Current squad is:

    Pope
    Stones, Dallas, Cresswell
    Mount, Bruno, Gundo, Lingard
    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    (Forster, Salah, Holding, Mitchell)

    I am pretty much resolved to use the cash I gain from Salah to invest in a Mitchell > Azpi transfer. But who to replace Salah with, or do I wait and get rid of Mount as he may be injured...?
    Do I:
    A) Salah > Mahrez + Mitchell > Azpi
    B) Salah > Rashford + Mitchell > Azpi
    C) Salah > another midfielder (suggestions welcome) + Mitchell > Azpi
    D) Mount > Raph + Mitchell > Rudiger (instead of Azpi for cash reasons)

    Probably gonna go for Kane or Bruno as Cap.

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      A

      1. artvandelay316

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I am not sure I would get rid of Salah, however if I did it would be for Jota.

      1. artvandelay316
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Other option would be to hold on to Salah, and do Holding > Rudiger for free. That really would be Salah's last chance though, as he has been poor for too many weeks to justify all that money.

  17. jimbobmij
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Assuming Greenwood is cleared of injury, should I grab him or Ziyech as a punt in my draft?

  18. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Bench KDB or Antonio for upcoming GW guys?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Surely bench Antonio

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Wolves have given up a whole load of chances recently though.

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      You'd be daft to bench KDB in any game.

  19. KirkhamWesham

    Anything worth a hit?
    I'm going to WC next week.

    Martinez

      Not sure about benching Ings against Burnley. He is due back this weekend

  20. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Anyone see that Pedro Neto got two assists for Portugal last night? Such a shame he has no one at Wolves to finish the chances he creates...

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Tell me about it. We need Jimenez back asap.

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Do you think he'd come back the same player?

  21. Shaw must go on
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Would you take in rudiger and christensen?? So if one doesn't play the other most likely will play.. Or is just a dumb move?? Made plenty of them this season and nothing to loose...

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Similar to Alonso and Chilwell for less money and lower ceiling

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Could be great but just worry that the return of Silva will disrupt the both of them, would probably prefer one of the two and Mendy in goal

  22. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    What are my best moves with this lot? Planning on WC'ing in 31, so I have 1FT and 7.1m in the bank.. Auba > KDB/Bruno?

      I rate the move you highlighted, probably for Bruno and hope that United can break open that stern Brighton defense

      I would do Auba to Bruno, he didnt play yesterday for Portugal therefore a full weeks rest and I fancy Man U to hurt Brighton.

    Is it worth bench boosting this or saving?
    Martinez Targett Stones Lingard?
    It's probably my strongest bench all season but having Stones and Dias is worrying. I could wait until after WC when I Iose one of them, but also means I have to have 15 playing players when I do WC

    Which two to bench ?
    A. Shaw
    B. Rudiger
    C. Dias
    D. Konsa
    E. Targett

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Probably D,C and have Dias first on bench

    Do you think there's any chance Kane starts on the bench against Southampton, with the final against City, 4 days later? I ask as a potential Kane TCer?

      I doubt it now they're out of Europe so has more rest days in general

      They need CL football, so no.

    3. Thomas Magnum

      As a fellow potential Kane tc'er I wouldn't think so either, seems to play 90 minutes no matter what

    Rudiger or Azpi? I want a nailed Chelsea defender... Does Silva change Rudiger's nailedness maybe? Thanks!

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years

      I'd say Azpi is definitely more nailed, especially for the reason you mentioned. Can see the defense getting disrupted with Silva coming back

    Does this look like the best playing combo & bench order?

    Mendy
    Dallas, Rüdiger, Shaw,
    Son C, Bale, Lingz, Raphinha, Bruno,
    Kane, Bamford,

    Martinez, Watkins, Dias, Cresswell,

    Anyone else BB this week?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Considering it, just worried about having a city double up in defense

    2. Holmes

      Thought it was a popular week to play BB but due to some reason, its not being talked about anymore...

    "Full-Back" skills, that rules out TAA on this year's form.
