Struggling to decide which out of Alli and Eriksen to transfer in. Eriksen seems to be more of a consistent point scorer but Alli likely to score more goals. Also, Alli banned for Champs League so …

Hi all, I have once again setup the FFScout league for Fantasy NFL. The league is on NFL.com and will be run in a head-to-head format. We will be drafting next week following the conclusion of the …

Where do we stand on the Salah vs Mane debate?

Robbie Brady has taken more corners (16) and delivered more successfully (9) than anyone else so far this season. Having taken 16 of the 17 corners Burnley have won, he also has one of the league's…

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic Premium striker versus their midfield supporting cast A key issue that emerged on last night's Scoutcast was that to save money and gain more points a pre…

Plenty of experienced FPL managers seem to view this as a week without a stand-out captaincy option, as four of last year's top six teams play away from home, and Arsenal and Man City prospects are…

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic Live Scoutcast tonight at 9:30pm - leave your questions for the team here. Tonight's will be slightly different. Mark has telephone line problems so won't …

Isn't owning 2 Liverpool mids on a WC a bit much for the City fixture? I know we have seen them blow Arsenal away but when was the last time they got that sort of result twice in a row in the PL?

Scout Pick Community Champion Lottery – Gameweek 4 For the second time this season we are on the look out for a champion to represent the community to take on the Scout Picks and win the chance …

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic Third striker options With many teams fielding two premium strikers the third striker spot needs to offer value and the chance of goals. Who is your pref…

Bony Vs Abraham? What I hear is that Bony i has been way off the pace at Stoke. If he fails to secure regular starts, Abraham become an excellent prospect at 5.5m. But if Bony recovers his old for…

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic What to do with Kane? Has Kane’s brace against minnows Malta altered your thinking about the Tottenham striker? Had the August hoo-doo become a self fulf…

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic Are the Transfer deadline day failures to our advantage? In many ways it looks like what didn't happen yesterday could be far better for Fantasy managers t…

Hello everyone. Since I’m a SL Benfica fan and, as you can deduce by my nickname, I am also Portuguese, I decided to leave here my views on the new Swansea boy, Renato Sanches. History and Stati…

Does it look like Chelsea will sign another LWB? If not Alonso is literally essential imo.

So many expensive transfer moves taking place or rumoured to be taking place - none appear to be good FPL assets though, despite their real life price tags. Lemar 14 goals in 64 matches looks an …

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic Following on from the wildcard discussions one key theme emerged with those wildcarding saying that many issues regarding team sheets and form look to be al…

What are the deadline day transfer deals you want to see?

So, with Firmino looking great and at a really attractive price, should we: A) going for a big front three of Lukaku Kane Firmino (Kaku and Kane could also be Morata Jesus Laca or Aguero) B) keep…

I read few posts and articles about WC and prices. First thing about playing WC is do you really need it? As we can see price changes are very slow and one of the reason is, if I'm correct, that W…

The amount of price rises this season has been a bit pathetic. Richarlison has been over 100 going into the 2am "deadline" for about a week now only for it change its parameters and go back down to…

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic Defence in a mess - what to do. From a number of Rate My Teams I've seen over the last few days it is clear that some of our defences are in a bit of a mes…

For those of you stats lovers you need to look at the quality of shots too. It is noticeable that Kane has had 2.3 headed goal attempts per match this season compared to 0..4 last season. It is …

Looking for a budget midfielder. Considering Knockaert or Ritchie

So, after much deliberation, the Wildcard is active. It was far from essential – nothing major was broken but, in the end, I decided to press the button. Here’s why… I played it prior to …

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic Gameweek 3 Rough with the Smooth Let's hear your tales of woe and joy here. Remember its what you did - not what you didn't do.

This is a bit late to the party, but I've just seen the highlights from Sunday and Kane's performance was quite concerning for his fantasy potential. From a pure eye test, although he had a lot o…

KDB on his new role as a DM: "I haven't scored yet, but I'm playing as a defending midfielder. My role changed, but my games are good. I know what I bring to the team and what my role is. No one kn…

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic International break - who's in, who's out Which players from your side are on borrowed time and are set for the exit? And who are your top targets? Are …

This Kane situation is what differs the seasoned veterans from the casuals. The casuals looking at 1,1,2 and selling like mad men. The vets looking at 25 shots and keeping. Explosion is immine…

Falling stars Obviously everyone is rushing to the risers right now, but feels like there are maybe a few who have lost / losing value who could prove good value in the future or help make up for …

I posted this in a thread earlier. Comparing the top 3 xG leaders so far: Lukaku, Kane, Salah. Kane: Goal: 0 (0 shots) Post: 0.53 xG (2 shots) Saved: 1.04 xG (6 shots) Blocked: 0.64 xG (11 shots)…

FFS Daily Hot Topic The template front line for the top Five in our Hall of Fame is Kane, Lukaku and Jesus, but their performances so far have failed to live up to expectations. Is it time to dit…

As much as I want to get rid of KDB before the price drop tonight I think it is more reasonable to wait. It is easy to get stuck on the feeling of having to get rid rather than thoughtfully bringin…

Confirmation that price changes have changed. So far at least. At this stage over the last 3 seasons there had been 25-30% more rises and 30-35% more drops. Cumulative Totals after GW2&3 RISE…

SCOUT PICKS CHALLENGE - GAMEWEEK 3 Dum dum dummmmmmmmmm! Gameweek 3 is up and running. We had a record entries of 77 non-illegal entries last gameweek, lets keep it up! The more people, the more p…

I decided to take a look on the transfers out page earlier today and was shocked to see that more than 120,000 mangers have decided to transfer out Harry Kane ahead of Gameweek 3. After failing to…

The First international break does not create more risers than other early season weeks, this may seem counter intuitive, but because much of the activity is wildcard related which does not count t…

GW2 Ball In Play Stats Following on from a recent BBC Sport article, I have decided to have a dig around the concept of 'ball in play', as I'm going to call it. The article in question highlighted…

Price change system punishes early adopters. Would prefer prices to be tied to form rather than ownership, personally.

Thursday pressers. 8:45am Arsenal 12:30pm Huddersfield 1pm Leicester 1:30pm Watford 1:45 Brighton

I don't know if this is a stupid question but I am a seagull after all. I could be way off, but does the whole point of the 'False 9' formation and strategy revolve around the concept that a midf…
