How the Scouts fared in the latest Sleeper draft league fixtures


Sponsored by Sleeper


If you and your mates haven’t yet done so, get a Sleeper Fantasy FC draft league set up in time for December’s chaos.

And in the first of two articles this week, it’s time to catch up on Fantasy Football Scout’s staff draft, conducted during the September international break.

Sleeper is a popular app now branching into Premier League football after several years of hosting US sports contests.

Liked for its chat facilities and attractive design, Sleeper can be downloaded on Apple and Android devices.

SCOUT SLEEPER DRAFT UPDATE

What is Sleeper + how can you join our free Pick'em league? 1

First, here are the 10 competitors:

  • Sam Bonfield – General Manager, half of FPL Family and a regular on Sky Sports News
  • Chris James – CEO of Scout, ‘El Fozzie’ hosts our Spaces on X
  • Neale Rigg – Editor who does a bit of line-up predicting on the side
  • Tom Freeman – Deputy Editor, a differential specialist and five-time top 1k finisher
  • Marc Jobling – Staff Writer who is now the Goals Imminent podcast co-host
  • Ian (FPL Partridge) – Social Media Manager, formerly of the FPL Partridge ‘X’ account
  • Tom Johnson – Multimedia Manager, began with Ian but recently expanded into video
  • Ed Gray – Strategic Advisor, UCL podcast co-host and creator of Fantasy Football Fest
  • Louis Roberts – Fantasy Football Community Staff Writer and master of many formats
  • Scott Worrall – Social Media Executive, the newest recruit and an EFL Fantasy contributor

And this is how Matchday 13 played out:

How the Scouts fared in the latest Sleeper draft league fixtures 2

Louis’ Team FPLReaction8 recorded the biggest score of Matchday 13 thanks to unfashionable hauls from Jorgen Strand Larsen and Amad Diallo, though he was pipped by Marc for the largest victory. The latter faced Tom J, whose initial five draft picks didn’t play for various reasons, restricting him to just 22.50 points.

They are two of four managers with a perfect win record since the previous update, joined by Sam and Tom F. The Deputy Editor not only boasts all of Mohamed Salah‘s attacking returns but he shrewdly added Justin Kluivert to his roster in time for a weekend hat-trick of penalties.

Meanwhile, the closest match took place between Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka‘s owners. Neale overcame Ian in a 99.50 – 94.25 battle.

MATCHDAY 14

How the Scouts fared in the latest Sleeper draft league fixtures 3

At the time of writing, Neale is the sole manager to have adjusted their roster in preparation for the midweek round of games, grabbing Saturday’s other hat-trick hero Kevin Schade.

Not only that, he has reacted to Liverpool’s injury updates by signing Joe Gomez. Making way are Newcastle United duo Kieran Trippier and Joe Willock.

Looking at Matchday 14 fixtures, the stand-out contest is the editorial dual between table-topping Tom F and third-placed Marc, who is doing well despite out-of-form Erling Haaland being his first pick. Having Nicolas Jackson and Joao Pedro next to him in a strong forward line helps.

Additionally, the bottom two managers Ian and Ed will face off.

    Did -8, Konsa and Hall to Trent and Gomez to bench Ait Nouri. need clean sheet for Liverpool, clean sheet bust for Villa and Wolves, quite risky just to try and get two free transfers.

        Interesting that most who have both Rogers and Mbuemo seem to have benched Rogers. Only 1 of Mbuemo's 8 goals have come away from home and he has a total xGi over the last 4 games of 0.55. I would be surprised if he scored.

          Villa conceded the most goals of any side in the last 4 gameweeks. Mbeumo on penalties and Martinez injured. Villa also made 3 errors leading directly to goals in the last 4 gameweeks ( most of any side )

                  United fan. Double Arsenal def vs Amorim felt like overdoing it. I'll be mad when they keep a cleansheet. I'll still be mad if they concede and Gabriel loses his cleansheet. I did an emotional hedging job.

                    Arsenal probably concede, but Timber is pretty attacking. Hoping for a CS from IPS isn't fun. But gl, many Greaves starters.

                      Timber won't attack as much with the way Man United are set up. There won't be enough space for him to attack. Will have his hands full with Garnacho or Amad. Even Rashford likes shifting towards that side.

                  I was thinking of playing Greaves, too, but went with Gomez at the very last moment.

                Did isak to Pedro to enable VVD/TAA in a single move next GW

                  Solid move with us still unsure if Isak will start. Newcastle also look terrible right now.

                    I could've saved FT & played wood & benched isak, but playing both wood and Rogers seemed too risky or could've done isak to Jackson, don't know, first midweek league games, lots of unknowns

                  I think Leicester West Ham a little more exciting.

                  I wonder if Fabianski, Greaves, VdB & Dibling ever have a good gameweek? Get the BB out of the way so can 2nd WC whenever.
