Whilst bragging ranks and top 10k finishes are the main aims for most managers, it doesn’t hurt if you can also win a little cash or scoop some prizes along the way with your Fantasy skills!

Here at Fantasy Football Scout, we’ve got OVER £5,000-worth of prizes on offer across a variety of Fantasy games. That includes, amongst others:

  • A UCL Fantasy mini-league

So whatever game you’re playing, whether it’s FPL, EFL or UCL, you’ll have a decent chance to win some cash or an FFScout membership/bundle.

To be eligible for a prize you will NEED to be registered as an Assistant Scout, our new FREE membership tier.

In the event that an existing Chief Scout (paid) member wins an FFScout subscription, we will, of course, refund your 2026/27 renewal pro rata.

4. FFScout ‘Open’ + ‘Members’ Cups

The draw for the first round of the 2019/20 FFS Cup

Throughout the season, FFScout runs a series of old-style FPL knockout cup competitions for site users.

Anyone who has an Assistant Scout membership (free) can enter our ‘Open Cup’ while a further two ‘Members Cups’ will be run exclusively for Chief Scout members (paid).

For each of the three competitions, Amazon vouchers (worth £300 per cup) are up for grabs for the winners, runners-up and the third-place play-off victor.

Information on how to join the cup competitions will be published on the website in the autumn. In the meantime, sort out your FFScout membership and stay tuned!

  • Eligibility: Only those who have registered a Fantasy Football Scout account (paid or free) are eligible to win prizes. Must have a registered FFScout account one month in advance of the final Matchday.

5. FFScout Community Competitions

Best Community Article:

Fancy yourself as a writer, or just have something you need to share? Throughout the season, we invite FFScout site users to submit community articles for consideration. No topic (related to Fantasy Football) is off limits!

At the end of the season, editor Neale, along with the rest of the editorial team, will select the best submission and award the prize.

Scout Picks Community Champion

Every week during the FPL season, an FFScout site member (paid or free) takes on the Scout Picks. This is a ‘team of the week’, chosen by Neale, Tom F, Sam and Marc, subject to budget and positional restrictions.

The site member who beats our team by the largest margin, in terms of FPL points, will win a £100 Amazon voucher. They’ll also get a place in our Moderators and Contributors League for the 2026/27 season.

‘Last Man Standing’ League Winner:

For the last 13 seasons, site moderator TorresMagic™ has run the ‘Last Man Standing’ competition.

The aim of the game is simple: you just have to keep your team above the elimination mark each week for 37 Gameweeks. The winner receives an annual Chief Scout membership for the 2026/27 season.

N.B. We also ran a ‘Guess the FPL Price’ competition earlier this summer, with three FFScout users winning memberships but you’ve missed your chance there – probably be a bit too easy now!

      The one without Haaland doesn’t look that much better considering you are minus the Viking. B for sure.

      1. THE Wild Rover

        Seriously? Palmer, Wirst and Gvardiol v Rice, Enzo and O’Brian? 😯

    2. cravencottage

      A by a mile. B is way too weak in MF and Def

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A for sure

  2. Thicksolidtight
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    A couple of questions if any one has the requisite knowledge to answer:

    Is Ben White first choice RB at Arsenal?

    Is Nunes likely to play most matches at Man City?

    Thanks in advance

  3. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Is Adingra the best 5.5 midfielder?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Reijnders is popular too

    2. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I’m banking on Reijnders

      1. jayzico

        Baby Reindeer been nailed in my team for 2 days now.

      2. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years

        Yeah he looks a good option too, thanks.

  4. Ser Davos

    Early doors and this isn't a black and white comparison, but a 6m defender versus a 6.5 midfielder/forward, where do we stand?

    I'm quite torn. Do we see any of the cheap forwards doing a Wissa/Wood?

  5. Kvnforthewin
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Not much love for Watkins on here.
    It's making me scared.
    Because I've got him in my team.
    Why is nobody going for Watkins?

    1. 420king
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      He's okay, don't be scared.

      1. Kvnforthewin
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        If arsenal sign gyokeres then might have to go

        1. CoracAld2831
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          They already have. It's a done deal.

          1. Kvnforthewin
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Hmm.
            That's some serious fire power for the gunners

    2. Kvnforthewin
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Watkins or ekitke?

      1. 420king
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Watkins. He could stil leave though - United interested.

        1. Kvnforthewin
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          I pray he comes to United.
          We need a center forward so bad.

            Not gonna happen...

            1. Kvnforthewin
              • 6 Years
              1 year, 1 month ago

              Zirkzee may just have to step up then

    3. DavvaMC
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I currently have Watkins fixtures are great.

      1. Kvnforthewin
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I think he's a better move than Rogers.

    4. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I have picked Watkins as the first and primary striker.

      Has a decent start of games too and will probably play them all.

      1. Kvnforthewin
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Would he exchange him for Gyokeres if he's available on FPL? And at the same price point?

  6. Zimo
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Gonna shift to Haaland Isak Kudus from Salah Wirtz Bowen if Liverpool sign Isak. I don't really like Kudus though. What other 6.5 mid can I get? Or should I get someone like Cucurella?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Ndiaye, Mitoma, Sarr all nice options.

      Rice, Enzo could do well but I much prefer an attacking mid for 6.5.

      Cherki too uncertain for minutes but I think he will be great in time. Amad a great player but wing back role could limit his attacking returns.

      1. Zimo
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Thankyou

  7. Kvnforthewin

    I think pep is overthinking things.
    He keeps changing he's squad.
    No one's ever sure which midfielders he will choose for a match.
    But what I know about title winning teams.
    Are teams that play the same 11 week in week out.
    Last season he kept on switching midfielders.
    And now he has only gone and signed more midfielders.

    1. Sir Michael Taker
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Liverpool only had 3 players who managed more than 30 x 90s in the league. Alisson and Konate probably would have been a 4th and 5th but the fact they couldn't physically do it illustrates this next bit. Its increasingly become a squad sport and everyone needs depth to do well.

      1. Kvnforthewin
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Hmm interesting.
        Chelsea could really surprise us this season.
        They already have the momentum.

  8. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    There’s alot to be said for creating a set and forget team in FPL this season. Anything that reduces the amount of time using the new site has to be seen as a win.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Its hard to have patience with your picks though, especially when players you don't own are hauling. FPL is a lot like investing IMO. Most of the time, the ones with patience who have time in the market rather than trying to time the market come out on top. I think to do that effectively as investor, you need to detach yourself from money, and in FPL, its detaching yourself from short term point gains.

  9. DavvaMC
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Out of the .5.5M mids who you going for?

    Currently shifting between.

    A. Reijnders
    B. Anderson

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I have Adingra and looking at Reijnders. The post above regarding Pep roulette is something to consider though. So much uncertainty and week to week wondering of your player starts is a headache that can be avoided.

      1. DavvaMC
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Slim pickings TBH.

    2. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Tonali should be decent

  10. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Is Areola the best 4.5 GK?

    1. Kvnforthewin
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Kelleher looks promising

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        What is that based on? His performances when he was a Liverpool plus fixtures? You don’t think Brentford will struggle initially?

        1. Kvnforthewin
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          They will definitely struggle.
          But among the 4.5 mil goalkeepers.
          He seems like the one to go with.
          Even if you go areola, West Ham are bound to struggle just as Brentford.

    2. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      West Ham’s defence looked shambolic last year and he didn’t do much to prevent it.

      Kelleher is popular but we can’t tell how Brentford are gonna fare without Frank’s genius. He had some strong and some sloppy showings for Liverpool, and could rack up save points or end up a catastrophic pick without clean sheets in the first few games.

  11. Meta12345
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Who are the 4.0m nailed defenders from burnley? Is tuanzebe nailed?

    1. Kvnforthewin
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Esteve, I think.

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Kind of a shame that guy’s French, which ruined the name pronunciation. Estève in French just sounds like a cosmetic brand, it’s very macho romantic in Spanish. The English variation could be a name for a robot assistant.

  12. Adzy
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this Haaland draft that I imagine will change before gw1 haha....

    Sels Kelleher
    Colwill Udogie AWB Konsa Gudmundsson
    Saka Palmer Wirts Sarr Miley
    Haaland Welbeck Solanke

    Lack of a 6 mil defender and no Salah is a worry though, hoping the Saka, Palmer, Haaland with wirtz covers it . Trafford potentially in for Sels if goes to City.

    1. Kvnforthewin
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      If salah hauls and basically 80% of managers captain him.

      You could be in big trouble.

      1. Kvnforthewin
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        You'll need haaland to match or better salah's output week in week out.
        It's like swimming against the currents.
        Could be dangerous

        1. mr_imm0rtality
          • 1 Year
          1 year, 1 month ago

          If Salah doesn't haul and Saka Palmer Wirtz do is it worth the extra 4-6m?

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Salah won't haul? 😀

            1. Kvnforthewin
              • 6 Years
              1 year, 1 month ago

            2. mr_imm0rtality
              • 1 Year
              1 year, 1 month ago

              I'd rather get coverage of all the best teams until its clear that salah is going to be as dominant as he was last season

              1. Kvnforthewin
                • 6 Years
                1 year, 1 month ago

                That's a good strategy.

          2. Kvnforthewin
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Remember the top teams probably also have 1 or 2 of palmer Saka or wirtz.
            So even if they haul, it might not be a massive green arrow.
            But the top teams also have salah so if you don't and he does haul.
            Could be trouble.

            1. mr_imm0rtality
              • 1 Year
              1 year, 1 month ago

              I've got this so far, its pretty similar, i'm hoping gyokeres comes in at a decent price then will probably change saka and foden

              Kelleher

              VDV / Colwill / Gvardiol

              Palmer / Saka / Wirtz / Foden (or Mbeumo)

              Isak / Bowen / Wood

              Subs : Darlow / Konsa / Esteve / A. Ramsey

              will probably change VDV/Konsa and alternate the 2 best 4.5 starters as it becomes more clear who are the best starters/ 2 team rotation

              1. mr_imm0rtality
                • 1 Year
                1 year, 1 month ago

                like if I can swap bowen for gyokeres, and get marmoush mbeumo and upgrade my 4.5 defenders I'll be more than happy

    2. mr_imm0rtality
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 1 month ago

      You could maybe take Marmoush/Foden for city coverage and Isak and improve the defense, my team is similar

  13. Gazwaz80

    Isak has told Newcastle he wants to “explore all options”

    1. GreennRed

      Not if they pay him 300K per week.

    Kudus' popularity makes me laugh. When he was at West Ham, he was rarely ever a pick aside from one time. He has moved to Spurs, and sure, I think he will do better there. But he isn't suddenly going to become Messi. His current levels of ownership are not remotely close to being justified, he is also a minutes risk.

    Similar case with Solanke. People have no indication that he will be a good pick, other than a hunch. Guessing that someone who was pretty woeful last season suddenly becomes a great FPL pick is dangerous IMO.

    If they both turn out to be good picks at the start of the season, its not IMO because owners were smart or informed, but just lucky. But, lets see how pre-season goes, both may perform well, and if that's the case, then they will be good informed picks.

    1. CoracAld2831
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      It's more the fixture than either of them tbh.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      There are a lot of things to consider that make him a justified pick to begin with.

      1. His first season at WHM he was good and has looked good so far in pre season

      2. Thomas Frank should bring a new manager bounce and is rated highly. Kudus was his first club signing

      3. Good fixtures

      4. Not many alternatives at that price

    If Solanke starts tonight would you go there over Pedro?

    I'm kinda tempted. He's much more reliable for mins and might be on pens now as well.
