On Saturday, members of the Fantasy community will gather in Birmingham for a North v South charity match in aid of Street Child United.

Some familiar names and faces will be taking part at Castle Vale Stadium, with the match kicking off at 2pm BST.

All the proceeds from the event will go to Street Child United, a charity set up to aid vulnerable children through the power of football.

The gate receipts will contribute to this total but any non-ticket donations can be made via this link, where the current total has surpassed £3,500.

Fantasy Football Scout have contributed £300 to this tally via money raised from the ‘super chats’ on the Friday Q&A video with Az, Sam and Gianni.

About Gameweek 39

Arranged by Benny Blanco and FPL Hints, the match will feature the likes of Az, Pras, Gianni, Ben Crellin, former Scout editor David Munday and many more.

There is even a bespoke Fantasy tournament for this match on Gaffr!

        Yes but late season form indicates more returns next year! And it’s the City potential, bit more exciting than say watching Mbuemo or someone for Brentford instead at that price lol

          Remains to be seen, but my hunch is City will change the way they play to bring out Haaland's strengths, and this will allow more breaks from deep by Gundo and Rodri. His position also puts him at the heart of ball recycling, helpful for passing baps. Thirdly, he'll play more games than other Peptated midfield options.

      On the last Blackbox I think Mark said he was going to ring FPL to make sure they don't give us any strong 4.5m options.

      Strong budget options would enable us to get all the big hitters like Haaland, Salah, and Son. That would be game breaking, and make for a boring season with little variation between teams. I want difficult decisions and headaches when picking a team. No handouts please FPL!

        Not really. I mean Livramento was the 4m must-have last season, then he went off the boil, then he got injured. We were all over the place trying to judge whether to start him, bench him or sell him.

          Congratulations to Tranent Juniors.

          I did enjoy seeing every recent non-league side who's been promoted to the Scottish league got promoted this year:

          Cove Rangers, Keilty Hearts, Edinburgh City. Bonyrigg Rose should get a successive promotion next season.
          These clubs are actually well-backed.
