We at Fantasy Football Scout are saddened by the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

We’re aware that not all of you will be affected by the events in the United Kingdom on Thursday afternoon but as a mark of respect for those who are, we will be suspending our content for the time being.

Understandably, there is a great deal of uncertainty over the immediate sporting schedule and we will also be awaiting further guidance from the Premier League on whether (or when) this weekend’s planned fixtures will take place.

    What's most shocking to me is that people STILL can not figure out how to ignore trolls and instead just keep feeding them.

    It's almost 2023.

    A) Just make the move from Salah to KDB now
    Or
    B) Wait for more info and take any potential price changes on the chin

    Worth repeating...

    When King George VI died, they played a full round of football three days later.

    So, assuming the games are cancelled, do people who’ve taken hits just score -4, -8 for the week?
    They surely can’t do that…

        looks like we will not have any football matches until march '23 because many well known people will die until then and this means everyone else has to stop living their normal lives
        rashford is safe to buy 😉

    Haha the mods here have completely lost the plot and deleted my comment about who thinks the band Queen is good.

    Is this the real life or is this just fantasy?
