Want to sign for Fantasy Football Scout? Get in touch…

As we look forward to the 2024/25 season, we at Fantasy Football Scout are working behind the scenes to make improvements for our site users and subscribers.

We have a number of exciting developments in the pipeline – including the imminent arrival of a new app (yes, it’s really happening this time!).

FPL 2024/25 pre-season page now live

But we’ll need an additional body or two to help us roll out further changes we have planned.

We are therefore looking to add two new recruits to our growing technical team – a full-time full-stack developer (mainly back-end) and a part-time front-end developer.

The details are as follows:


FULL-STACK DEVELOPER

Time: Full-time but hours are open to negotiation

SKILLSET REQUIRED / TOOLS USED

Front-End:

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

Back-End:

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

FRONT-END DEVELOPER

Time: Part-time but hours are open to negotiation

SKILLSET REQUIRED / TOOLS USED
  • HTML, JavaScript, and CSS
  • Sass
  • React
  • jQuery 
  • Bootstrap
  • AJAX
EXPERIENCE
  • BSC Computer Science or related 2.1 min
  • Two years minimum commercial experience

We mostly work remotely but, on the odd occasion, we like to get together in person – so if you are able to travel to London now and again, that would be beneficial.

However, those that work outside of the capital should most definitely still apply. Talent is more important to us than postcode.

Flexibility of hours is also preferable.

Based on past experience with our job adverts, we need to stress that it may take a little time to look through and respond to applications.

If you want to get involved with the next chapter of the site, please drop us a line with your CV at jobs@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.

    I have to say, Haaland & prawn cocktail crisps are not a great combo.

    Snickers bar? Hello

      Prawn cocktail crisps were the only flavour available during the 5 months I spent on the Falkland Isles during '96/97. Yuk! Along with powdered milk/QT, bacon that tasted of fish, no peas & huge slabs of Brazilian beef. Subsidised beer & cigs. Happy times!

      I don’t think Harry’s lasted a full season anywhere during his entire career!

    Looks like no Sky game this year:
    "Sky Sports Fantasy Football will not be returning for the 2024/25 Premier League season. We would like to thank our loyal community of players for your enthusiasm for the game over the last 15 years. You can still log in to Super 6 and Sky Bet with your Sky Sports Fantasy Football account details as normal."

      Even more entrants to FPL on the way then.

      Didnt mind it, was hard as prices were high - worst one is The Suns dream team - i start every year and give up after 5 weeks

      1. FrankieTheGent
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I preferred it to FPL.
        It's a pity.

      wow....never remembered to update all my captains though...at least i won't be kicking myself (as often) next season

    5. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2 months, 1 day ago

      I'm very disappointed with this
      It was an unique game with daily transfers & team captain changes
      Strange decision

    OK its getting near. First time in a while Ive felt up for a new season. Ready to go a little bit more differential too this time. Vary the captains. Avoid Haaland and his price. Tick tock tick tock

    1. Red Red Robins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Proceeds to pick Haaland gw1 and perma cap him 😉

      1. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Yeh probably! Im all big boy talk at this stage of the season and then I crumble...!

        1. Red Red Robins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 months, 1 day ago

          haha same as me mate

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Vardy the captains? That will be differential!

  4. Merlin the Wraith
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 1 day ago

    Might need to go for 4.5/4.0 def squad to get a decent front 8 this season. Tempting after last season's def glories lol

  5. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 months, 1 day ago

    You know I just want a good start to the season. Sometimes its the players who pick like 3 defenders from a team that gets a clean sheet and captains one of them in GW1. Get into the top 10k early, panic and wildcard for GW2. Thats my strategy - sorted.

    1. Red Red Robins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      No hits
      No hits
      Not hits

      Gw2 i do a -4
      Gw 3 i do a -8

    1. fauxnacho
      • 1 Year
      2 months, 1 day ago

      You get unlimited transfers until the start of GW1, all you do is make a team... are you seriously missing work lmao

      1. TheBiffas

        harsh judgement faux,this person is clearly not very well and has a need to tinker long and hard into the sunset,work will still be there tomorrow ,TNTT (the need to tinker) can be overwhelming and thus a viable reason to jettison work....

        1. Red Red Robins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 months, 1 day ago

          Loves me a bit of tinkering into the sunset
          I for one say, tinker away Groovey..............tinker away

    Southgate has stepped down.

      Happy for him.

      Should've done it after WC.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        No point in quitting just after using wild card. Trust the moves you made.

        1. JBG
          • 6 Years
          2 months, 1 day ago

          100% agree when you put it like that.

        You mean group stage?

          I'm an eternal optimist

    5. PartyTime

      Here comes Tuchel 🙁

    6. Gareth nose
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Hopefully we bring in a system manager allowing for greater rest and rotation of players and build the team around Phil Foden. If Bellingham was serious about his England career he never would have joined R.Madrid.

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        This must be Poseidon

      2. SM001
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Whats your issue with Bellingham joining Real?

        1. Gareth nose
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 1 day ago

          They play a completely different style of football to the top PL clubs

      3. x.jim.x
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        How anyone can watch the last 7 games England played and think Foden is the one to build the team around is honestly beyond me.

    1. Dat Guy Welbz

      Gareth is low-key the one that presses the button to launch the game.

      Are we expecting further price releases before launch, or do we just get all the rest once it opens? Can't remember how they did it last year

      1. chocolove
        • 13 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        No more price reveal

      2. R.C.

        Apparently Son is under 10m

          9.5 probably, but 9.0 would be interesting.

    9. InsertPunHere

      So how much do we reckon Haaland’s ownership rises between launch and GW1?

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Depends on his pre-season performance

      2. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 4 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Assuming he's not in the autopick squad his ownership is likely to increase after launch day regardless.
