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.

    Martinez + Leno from GW32

    shu, FUL, WBA, new, WBA, crp, crp, BHA

      Don't mind this rotation tbh. May just end up coming down to whether one wants rotating keepers for the run home or just have one playing and take advantage of 3.9m 2nd choice. Just worry also about Arsenal defense

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, just couldn't find a single GK who I would be happy to play till end. Pretty much every GK has tricky end of the season.

        Patricio has tot, eve, MUN
        Kasper has mun, che, TOT
        Martinez has crp, tot, CHE

        Just noticed that Meslier has bur,sou, WBA. Patricio and Meslier might also work.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years

          Good point. Do you trust Patricio/Wolves for points even with the fixtures.

          1. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            I do trust them, still a top half defense in my opinion but that could just be due to previous season performance.

            Checked their last 10 PL games.

            Clean Sheets : 4
            Goals Conceded : 9 (but 4 were conceded to Man City, so 5 in remaining 9 games)

            Not sure about their underlying stats but that looks fine to me.

            1. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              All good information. For me it is Sais or a punt on Alonso with bench back up. If I get Alonso I will captain him and have Kane VC. I have FH but no WC so I might look at things differently.

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Looking myself. Mendy and Forster is probably the alternative and can be planned from this week.

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Mendy and Forster looks decent as well. Do you think Forster is nailed or you dont plan to use him whatsoever?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          I don't rate him but McCarthy is not trusted. With DGW's it is worth taking a calculated risk IMO.

  2. Von Lipwig

    Hi anybody around?

    Bench two:

    A) Cancelo (LEI a)
    B) Cresswell (WOL a)
    C) Dallas (SHU h)
    D) Targett (FUL h)
    E) AWB (BHA h)

    Really don't know... Cheers

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Tough choices. Probably A and B

      AD

  3. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    With no WC left, looking to set up my team for the run in. Is it worth it to take a -12 hit over two weeks(-4 this week and -8 the next) if all these players, bar injuries, will probably be staying in my team till the end?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Depending on outgoing players, maybe you can do that over 3 weeks to reduce the hits to -8pts. If not possible, then its fine.

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Would like to see your side before such drastic measures.

  4. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Which GK combo to go for on WC?

    A. Mendy & Meslier
    B. Mendy & Leno

    1. Onz
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Chelsea have too many fixtures to keep up the clean sheets for much longer. Forget Mendy, Leno and Patricio look good going forward.

      1. MJF
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Have to disagree there. Chelsea have the best defence in the league right now based on form. Arsenal certainly don’t, and often look shaky, while Wolves have nothing to play for despite having good fixtures.

        I’d favour Mendy over Leno and Pat all day.

        Game of opinions I suppose.

      2. Tinkermania
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        @ONZ, "Chelsea have too many fixtures to keep up with clean sheets"? What do you mean?

        1. MJF
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          I guess he/she feels that Chelsea are still in three comps and may be tired or rotate?

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Mendy & Lloris for me.

      1. FPL ElasticO
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        That's quite expensive GK combo

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Lloris goes after 32.

      2. MJF
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        This is what I would do if I had a wc left.

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Thankfully I still do.

  5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Only for GW31
    A) Bale+Alonso
    B) Bamford+Konsa

    1. Onz
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Bale and Alonso for me.
      Newcastle are so poor atm that even a cameo could see points for bale.
      Alonso has great attacking threat but a bit of a rotation risk, who is on your bench?

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Assume you mean 30 ; has to be A but its an almighty punt. Bale played quite a bit over the break, if Son is fit he may well be benched.

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B

    4. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Alonso yes but Bale I have my reservations

  6. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Who to have on WC as 5th midfielder?

    A. Raphinha
    B. Neto
    C. anyone else (pls suggest)

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Raphinha has some tough fixtures but Leeds are Leeds. Who knows what will transpire. Neto on my watchlist but he seems to rely on counter attacks without backup.

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Most likely A, he's 5th mid for a reason so shouldn't have to play him every week. If you bring in Neto you'll just have a benching headache

    4. West End Exile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Neto for Wolves next run of fixtures.

  7. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Are any postponements possible except Villa - Everton and SOU - CP due to FA Cup?

  8. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    bench one:
    a. Gundo
    b. Bale
    c. Antonio (got Lingz too)

    thx

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Morning dzz, can't decide when to WC. Have both WC/FH available. My team for gw30 below

    Martinez -- Areola
    Konsa Dallas Digne --- Stones Dunk
    Raphinha Son Bale Bruno -- Gundogen
    Kane (c) Bamford DCL

    A: WC31 / FH33 as planned
    B: WC31 with no city and 3 spurs who I can bench in 33. Save FH for future doubles/blanks
    C: As I have 3 spurs already, play through dgw32 and WC33. Issue here is my defence isn't ideal for 31/32 but can do Konsa > Rudi for a hit

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wish I could help you mate but I'm not sure of this myself! I had been set on WC in 31 then FH in either 33 or 35 but with the news of Spurs DGW I have been pushed into considering something similar to your C

      I'm doing C and I have all my chips other than BB

  11. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone still with TC left,
    On which player/week are we aiming to use it?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Even if you don't have it left who would you consider playing it on if you did (didn't mean it to sound like I was excluding) 🙂

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Has to be on Harry for their double. Can't see myself holding onto it anymore.

    2. West End Exile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      The popular choice will be Kane for GW32, with Son or Bale as differentials.

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed the popular choice will be Kane. But on that basis would it mean the chip will be less effective? If most people are standard captaining him you won't actually gain too much more but using the TC on him, no?

      1. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Only if you calculate on a week by week basis. If he hauls he’s still a great choice over the season. Any TC haul is great surely

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Thank you for the response but forgive me as I don’t quite understand what you mean by that. Kane is a great choice over the season, granted. But I don’t get what you mean by a week by week basis. What I was meaning to say was for example if Kane scores 10 points over the this specific DGW alone, and everyone has him captain so they all get 20, all who have him TC will only be getting an extra 10 points more than the majority of people, as a lot of people will have him captain in some capacity, whether it be normal C or TC

          1. Moderately content penguin
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            It doesn't matter which week you play it over the season. What matters is your total points count.

            33 in 32 does better than 30 in 35.

            Thinking you're better off with a differential in 35, say, you also need to calculate that you would generally captain a differential that week too to make the comparison valid.

            33 + 10 > 11+ 30

      2. West End Exile
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Depends whether you want to cover the masses or roll the dice...

    4. Mainswitch
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Past 2 seasons I've used it in GW38. Kane always delivers here. But I get tempted to use it on Auba this time around vs Brighton. Auba has a great scoring record on a Sunday.

  12. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Is the set up (including bench order) correct here we reckon?
    Debating whether I should be starting Cresswell (over Stones or Watkins).

    Martinez.
    Shaw, Dallas, Stones.
    Fernandes, Lingard, Raphinha, Son.
    Bamford, Kane, Watkins.
    Steer, Cresswell, Odegaard, Burn.
    1ft, 6.7m ITB.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I think you have it right. Cress first one bench is the way to go incase Son won't make it or Stones gets rotated etc. Would probably drop Watkins before I considered dropped Stones for Cress, I have no faith in him other than hoping Grealish returning can help him

      1. Sz21
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers Sulli!

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Always happy to help somebody who recognizes me! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be many around here that do 🙁

    2. West End Exile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'm probably going to start Cresswell and have Stones as first on the bench.

  13. Pukki Blinders
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Would you WC this next GW? Getting twitchy fingers... on BB this week with 1 FT and 5.4m itb

    Martinez
    Dias Coufal Dallas
    Bruno Son* Raphinha Lookman
    Kane Bamford Antonio

    Aerola Trossard Dias Cancelo

  14. Steve McCroskey
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Morning gents

    Have I got my starting 11/bench in the right order? Tough week this week!

    Martinez

    Dallas / Shaw / Creswell

    Raphinha / Gundo / Son / Fernandes

    Bamford / Kane / Watkins

    Lingard / Dias / Veltman / Areola

    1. West End Exile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'd start Lingard, but difficult to know who to bench - probably Gundo or Watkins?

  15. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Would you take a hit to bring in Kane this week, roll ft and do it ahead of dgw?

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      *or

    2. West End Exile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Probably worth it against Newcastle.

    3. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Get Kane

  16. HollywoodXI
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    GTG?

    Martinez
    Dallas Konsa Alonso(C)
    Bruno KDB(VC) Gundo Son Raphinha
    Kane Watkins

    Areola Antonio Dawson Dunk

    1. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Have fun 🙂

      Might shift VC - just in case you know

  17. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Which option seems better?

    a. BB this gw with a bench of martinez gundo stones coufal, WC gw31
    b. Save BB, WC gw31 and BB in the dgw.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I like the look of B

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers mate

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A unless you plan on having 15 playing picks on your WC

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Think I might go for a strong(ish) bench for the run in with rotations imminent.

  18. Ojpsan1
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Best mid for a one week punt, money no problem. Will WC 31

    1) Salah
    2) KDB
    3) Mount
    4) Grealish
    5) Son
    6) Bale

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Neto or Havertz

      1. Ojpsan1
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Neto i can see, but Havertz doesnt look in form at all, is he even nailed?

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      2 or 3

    3. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Mount for me...

    4. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      5 if he’s declared fit

  19. Pukki Blinders
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Azpi safest Chelsea defender for a start this week?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes I believe he is based on him starting every league game under Tuchel so far and being captain

    2. Conners
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Safest to start every week judging by recent lineups.

  20. Ëð
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Lingard or Mount for one week punt?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Lingard, only as I know he will start

    2. Conners
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I prefer Mount for this week but Lingard long term.

  21. Nay08
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I still holding to Salah and initially plan to get rid of him on my WC on GW31.
    but Liverpool has a good run of fixtures and they still have to fight for a European place.

    I haven't really tweaked the WC team much, but based on the consideration above, should I keep Salah or move to someone else like Jota?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Probably keep Salah unless you needs the funds, good fixtures like you said, on penalties and will be wanting the golden boot

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Jota could easily match Salah for half the price, easy decision for me. Jota and TAA

  22. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Which of these 2 WC teams are more balanced?

    Team A
    =========
    Mendy / Forster
    TAA / Rudiger / Cancelo / Coady / Coufal
    Fernandes / Salah / Son / Gundo / Raphinha
    Kane / Antonio / Brewster

    Team B
    =========
    Mendy / Forster
    TAA / Rudiger / Dias / Coady / Lascelles
    Fernandes / Salah / Son / Gundo / Neto
    Kane / Antonio / Brewster

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ultimately what you’re asking is which is better combo for 5th mid and Defender. Raphinha and Coufal or Lascelles and Neto and for me I’d say Raphinha and Coufal. Makes the option of a 4-4-2 more appealing as well imo if you ever want to bench Raphinha over a bad fixture

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years

      Literally the same thing and exact same structure...

    What to do with Bale?

    A- Hold one more Gameweek before WC?
    B- Sell for FT

    Seen a lot of love for Marcus Alonso. Why so? He even likely to start?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Desperate end of the season is why

    2. Conners

      As long as you have decent backup on the bench, he's a decent punt with those fixtures.

      Seems to be starting the approx 2 out of 3 games.

      People who plan to wildcard in 31 see it as a potentially explosive defensive option for a 1 week punt.

      No international duties, Chilwell away and playing with England, Tuchel likes height against teams like West Brom. Seems likely to start.

        Fair enough. I’m looking at a more long term option so feel like Azpilli is a better call

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Why not save cash and go Rudiger long term?

          1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            He fairly nailed?

          Go Rudiger

    Start bale.or watkins

    1. Conners
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If you have Bale surely you have to play him against Newcastle. Should get 20-30 mins even if he doesn't start.

      Watkins hasn't done much recently.

  26. Pukki Blinders

    Pick one to own until the end of season

    A. Son (own Kane)
    B. Salah (own Jota)
    C. KDB (no other City attack)

    moved house, haven't been on for a couple of weeks. Can anyone simplify the general thoughts on when to use WC & why? I have seen a few comments saying GW31-33 would be best - thanks

    1. LC1

      WC 31 as thats when the fixtures have a big swing and you can also focus your new team around BGW and DGW in 32/33.

  30. Sterling Archer

    wildcarders without Luke Shaw, hes my main target. Clean sheets against city, chelsea, west ham in the last 4 and the best attacking stats

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Who would you sacrifice for him out of this defence?

      Coady Rudiger TAA Dias Coufal

      1. Sterling Archer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I like the sound of Dias, Rudiger and Shaw as a back 3, TAA could be good with the fixture swing but currently nowhere near his price tag!
