Your chance to get involved in the FFS Scout Network

Want to join the Scout Network or work for Fantasy Football Scout in the 2021/22 season? Now is your chance!

We have been the leading voice in all things Fantasy Premier League (FPL) for over 13 years, working with an engaged community of fans, addicts and pioneers to create the best content.

We were the first to create in-depth professional editorial pieces and share innovative tools like Fixture Tickers; the first to provide a definitive injuries and bans list and resources like set-piece takers; the first to utilise Opta stats to take analysis to the next level and the first to build a Members Area to allow others to study that data themselves.

FPL price reveal and launch reaction from three-time top 200 finisher Lateriser 1

Our leagues have dominated FPL for years, many of the top players (including four of the last eight winners) were FFS members, most were users and our tools are utilised by many of the games themselves.

But we didn’t do this alone. It has always been a team game, working with and serving the wider community. Which is why, unlike most Fantasy channels, we make so much content available for free.

It’s also why we want to hear from you now if you’d like to get involved and join the Scout Network.

Building on the work we’ve done over the last year with our Scout Network, Scout Academy and FFS International programmes, we want to reach even wider for the 2021/22 season.

These enterprises support upcoming creators to grow and monetise their social or video channels, allow tool-makers to promote their genius to a wider audience and give opinionated Fantasy managers everywhere a better chance to be heard.

So if you have a cool tool you’d like to share with the world, a social or video channel that you’d like to work with FFS to grow and monetise, some amazing tech skills you’d like to contribute or just some great insight that you need to share, we want to hear from you!

Just fill out this simple form with some relevant info and we’ll guarantee to check it out and come back to you.

    I got great insight 😉

      I haven't and I still got hired

  2. Atimis

    On WC here.

    Any suggestions?
    Will Chiesa start over Berardi?

    Pickford/Donna
    Shaw/Azpi/Spin/Mahle/Meunier
    Sterling/Sarabia/Chiesa/Damsgard/FTorres
    Kane/Morata/Lukaku

    1. Flaming Flamingo
      • 7 Years

      Could go either way. Go with your gut I guess, unless you are wanting to upgrade/downgrade someone else.

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      I think the x4 Spain and x4 England is nice but risky, we've already seen what x4 Netherlands and France has done to people in the last round

  3. R.C

    Best 4.5 attacking def in FPL?

    (Not Lamptey)

    1. Skonto Rigga
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Potentially Ayling, with his big fat zero attacking returns in 2020/21? Over 50 chances created + shots attempted combined last season, was unlucky to draw a blank.

      1. Skonto Rigga
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        There may be a dormant Fantasy gem lying in Masuaku but so injury prone and the obvious fall guy if they play with a back four. Plus he rarely seems to actually deliver the goods despite his high position.

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Masuaku is interesting but it depends on the formation I guess. Won’t get the spot ahead of Cresswell in a back 4 but in a back 3 with wing backs possibly.

      2. colby_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Ayling was so frustrating to own last year, mainly because I made the misguided decision of selecting him over Dallas. It only took about 30 gameweeks for me to correct my mistake.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Ayling had a similar XGi to Dallas and I'm pretty sure it was in the top 10 defenders last year.. yet he managed 0G 0A which is almost impressive in its own backwards way

      He's like the roulette wheel that's gone black 15 spins in a row at this stage... Has to be a few reds in the pipeline if you have the patience (and the pockets) to back him for a while!

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        If a roulette keeps hitting blacks, isnt it wise to recognise the potential fix and bet on black?

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          No

    3. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I believe Ayling rotates well with Lamptey, but no one ever mentions rotation after GW1.

      1. Carlton P
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        He does and I’m very much on that. Potentially in a 4-4-2 as I want TAA, Robbo and shaw

    4. Marmalade Forest
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Max Aarons?

    5. colby_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He may not be the most exciting attacking option, but I'd think Llorente at Leeds is pretty much nailed on. The first few fixtures are rough, but he'd be a nice choice by GW7.

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah he look's good but not sure if I can trust Leeds defence

    6. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'm being really intrigued by Ayling this season. Genuinely thought he'd come in at 5.0, and he was rather unlucky not to get any returns last season.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Thought he’d be 5.0 as well, thought Coufal would be 5.5, thought Cresswell would be 6.0, that Shaw would be 6.0…

        Seems they’ve taken almost every defender and shaved 0.5 off their price, which in a way almost makes the Liverpool trio more like 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          No mention of Fofana? Surprising. I'd go for Lorente over Ayling. Can see baps in him. White is value whether he stays at Brighton or goes to Arsenal.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Sorry, missed ATTACKING defender. Right, it's only Lamptey and Ayling for me.

  4. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    CR7 Benzema Depay Wijnaldum >>>>Kane Sterling Morata Immobile -4

    Gets me 11 players, even if I'm not sure Beradi and Alba start.

  5. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    For GW 1-4

    1. Tierney + Raphinha
    or
    2. Digne + Sarr

    1. Carlton P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Shaw + Harrison?

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Uh no, no Harrison. Shaw maybe. Digne fixtures > Shaw fixtures?

    2. Skorr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      2 for me

  6. Carlton P
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    A) Bowen + Watkins
    B) beundia + Antonio

    1. Soto Ayam
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      B) not sold on Bowen as a regular starter, if lingard signs.

    2. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Tough one, I want to say A) but think B) more secure

  7. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Can only field 7 and have no forwards, reckon just use the 3 subs and 1 hit and have a starting 11 or more hits and have subs

  8. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    The application form only allows me to select one option from "How would you like to get involved? (tick all that apply) *" I'm going to apply as a QA 😛

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Morata

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Sarabia it Morata for me!!

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        *or

    3. Aster

      Torres

  10. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Oh good lord, my team sucks

    Donnaruma | Stekelenberg
    Spinazzola | Stones Shaw Kjaer Maehle
    KDB* T.Hazard Sarabia(c) Berardi | Sterling
    Immobile | Kane Dolberg

    0.8 ITB. And that's after -12 too :/

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Which players do you want?

  11. jay01
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    RMT?

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA, Robbo, Fofana, Ayling, BWilliams
    Salah, Bruno, Gundogan, Raphina, Buendia
    DCL, Toney, Davis

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Think Gundog is a trap this year - but there could be some movement in the City midfield/attack so maybe he's ok.

    2. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Not much bench cover, if you are okay with that.

  12. Lovren an elevator
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Is Bertrand likely to be nailed for Leicester?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      No

  13. bigshlong
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Struggling to decide between Lukaku, Immobile and Schick.

    Who do we reckon is the best shout for this matchday?

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I have Immobile - and am likely to get Schick and either Kane/Morata - happy to switch to Lukaku if they get through.

    2. Aster
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Inmobile

  14. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I'm contemplating having a Manchester City and Chelsea defender, but given rotation risks would like two regular 4.5M defenders to provide bench cover for the first half of the season.

    Pick two:

    Holding, Coady, Ayling, or ...... , ............

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Fofana

  15. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    What is the distribution of players you own per team? For me it's

    Spain: 3
    Italy: 3
    England: 3
    Belgium: 2
    Denmark: 2
    Czech: 2
    Ukraine: 0
    Switzerland: 0

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Current plan is

      3x Italy
      3x Spain
      1x England
      2x Denmark
      2x Czech
      (maybe 1x Belgium or an extra England)

      1. xuwei
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Not confident in England? Seems low

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          I really don’t think they’ll score many so getting in attackers is a bit of a lottery. Already have Maguire.
          Not feeling great about using a xfer to bring in a defender with limited upside.

          Could end up with Sterling and/or Kane. But feel like I’m just doing it because everyone else is.

          1. fenixri
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            But when they get through you will need them. And all Czech and Denmark players are low cost

  16. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Chiellini expected to start?

  17. Coolbean
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Just gonna throw this out there, pretty amazing that Brownhill (4.5 mid) got worse attacking stats when he was playing as an AM or on the wing vs when he was playing DM! 😀

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      At 4.5 you ain't gonna start him and can't be too fussed. Bissouma is your go-to man at 4.5 and he didn't actually get much in the way of returns either.

      1. Coolbean
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Haha was looking for a bargain, found a fake AM instead!

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Bissouma takes up a valuable Brighton spot IMO

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Gilmour if he signs for Norwich.

  18. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Digne and Doherty are the first players that come into my mind after Rafa and Nuno appointments. Pretty good value with nice fixtures.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      75:25 on Digne after Rafa appointment since he prefers 4-2-3-1 iirc. Rodriguez has to leave.

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Potentially Siggy could be the pick of the attacking lot if he plays 10.

        1. Nanoelektronicar
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Not the level of Gerrard, but Sigurdson could be good as a 10 under Rafa. Gerrard was in his peak playing there in 2009.

        2. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Siggy could be on his way to Al-Hilal Riyad.

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Doucoure may not be a bad #10 😀

            1. The 12th Man
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 9 months ago

              Yeh he could do a job but he’s better of playing deeper with the energy he has and running from deep.
              We need to sign one really if Benitez is going to play a 10.
              James is to injury prone and I wouldn’t be surprised if he left this summer.
              Siggy is too slow. Despite his glimpses of quality.

        3. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Far too slow.

      2. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Thoughts on Doherty?

        1. Nanoelektronicar
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          They need to play 3-5-2 for Doherty to get back in the mix, imo.

          1. Weeb Kakashi
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Its a bigger job for Nuno. He always got good results with a 352/343. He tried a back 4 with Wolves but it failed. Dont see why he wouldn't go with a 3 at the back formation at Spurs.

          2. Weeb Kakashi
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            But i could be wrong. Spurs do have a lot of attacking options upfront to go with 4 at the back. Knowing Nuno it is unlikely at this point.

  19. 03farmboy

    Thoughts?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I like the gamble on Schick, he seems to have a determination that gets him points.

  21. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Not seeing Wood get mentioned? Why is that?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Antonio, Wilson and Watkins seem like better options. Nacho also had a strong finish to the season.
      Wood is a good pick if you hold him throughout the season, but its hard to find his purple patches.

  22. EmreCan Hustle

        Yeah, but I feel like I can bench him as he isn't as essential as an English defender

  23. CroatianHammer

    Patricio to Roma apparently in the bag. Nuno going to Spurs is likely to lead to at least a look at his former charges... is Wolves going to be a no-go this season? Gutted, a shell of former eh, glory?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Run by agents. All profiteers. They are cashing in and Bxgger the consequences. Their owners must be thick.

    2. Holmes

      Yeah, will be tough to recover. Lots depend on who will manage them but it wont be an easy job.

        Is Sanchez Flores free?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Neves heavily tipped to leave.
          I wouldn't start with any Wolves assets. Kind of helpfully, their opening fixtures are pretty poor, giving us the luxury of assessing them for a while before taking the plunge.

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        They've got a manager. Can't even remember his name - sounds like 'lager'. A Portugueezer. The fact that I've never heard of him - and neither have you - indicates where Wolves are at now.....
