Fantasy Football Scout memberships for 2015/16 are now available for the pre-season price of just £12.50.

Last season’s memberships expired back on Monday June 1 but you can now renew to get access to the members area.

Existing registered users can upgrade via this link. New users, who are yet to get a registered account, can sign up via this link.

Payments can be made through Paypal or via Stripe using debit or credit cards.

For the second season running, we’re very proud to have helped the Fantasy Premier League champion to the crown. This season’s winner, Simon March, aka “Dufflinks” was a full member of the site – as was Tom Fenley the season before. We hope that our members area goes on aiding FPL managers and will be hoping for a third champion from the 2015/16 season.

If you’re new to the benefits of Fantasy Football Scout membership, you can get full details, along with a series of movies previewing the content, via this page.

We’re hugely grateful for the support shown by our members each season. This has enabled us to maintain the site, grow our team and develop further.

We currently have a full responsive design in development which we are looking to roll out before the start of the new season, while we’re also currently working on the latest feature for members and a revised season ticker tool. Again, we’re looking to have both available prior to the new season and we’ll bring you more on those in the coming weeks.

If you’ve any feedback or suggestions of content that you’d like to see added to the members area, then please feel free to drop me a line at support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Paid £12.50 in August, was hoping it would run for 12 months. Feel hard done by now, other guys got 12 months, for the same price as I did for 10.

      When does the Sky game usually get released? I've done it the past two seasons, but only made a team and I'm looking to have a real go at it this year. I'll be reading all your articles on it but do you have any other links for good tips for the game?

        Its always the first game released and came out late June last season so we should have long to wait. Which is great!

        You can take a look at my article i wrote for Sky last season:

            Well there are three main ways:

            1. like and follow Skys Facebook page, people post there cash leagues (done through sky bet) on there - look out for ones with lots of people and money.

            2. Sky them selves run four major cash leagues £2, £5, £10 and £20 join all four and they have lots of entrants and the pots are about £3000 each, top four paid - i came 2nd in two and 3rd in the other two this season.

            3. join the free advertised leagues on there pages - Fantasy football club etc - thya have cash prizes

              Amazing! Thank you! Still trying to get my head around this captain stuff! Think I gather how it works. It's not ideal to ever punt on a captain is it?

                Sure you can punt on captains but just make sure you dont have to waste transfers swapping them.

                Captain plays Sunday then again next Saturday. Use a swap to a Sunday captain who then plays on Saturday. etc etc

                Doesn't matter who the player is punt or otherwise if you think they will do well

                  But you never get the chance, like in FPL, to change your mind on captains for free do you? If you ever want to change a captain you'd have to use it up, wouldn't you?

    • 13 Years

    Just thinking back over the season and I suddenly remembered to check in on this prediction I made:

    http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/09/15/this-much-we-know-gameweek-4-2/?hc_page=7#hc_comment_8292776

    I predicted Baines would slump from 170 points per season to 130. This was because of a serious downturn in defensive solidity under Bobby. The final score for Baines: 139 points. Not bad.

    In the first half of the season, Everton kept 3 cleanies, exactly on track for my prediction of 6. Then it goes pear-shaped. Martinez turned things around, and they kept another six in the second half but Baines lost his pens to compensate.

    So I was right, but with the wrong workings? Partial credit? 😉

        I seem to remember that he went on a mad goal and assist spree for about 4 weeks after I wrote it so you probably did alright out of him. (He waited until I swallowed my pride and brought him in to regress to the mean 😀 )

      I also said Baines was not a must have earlier in the season, which was controversial at the time. I did own him for 1 or 2 easy games, but only bought him because I could net get Ivan (as I already had 3 Chelsea).

        He did go on a mad spree for a few games, and if you owned him for that, you did well. But quite a few people got burned owning him for long periods, expecting the returns of previous seasons.

        It'll be really interesting to see what happens to the Everton defence next season, without the poison of Europa. Martinez seems to have found a bit of a balance now so clean sheets could be back on the menu. But Baines appears to be off penalties for some reason, so he'd be relying on assists. Unless he's re-priced by FPL he doesn't seem to be worth owning again. He's also not getting any younger and his time spent injured is increasing every season.

          I owned him in a fairly barron spell, but also got rid of him before he posted about 1 point a week for the next 5 game weeks, when some people were still talking of him as a must have.

        Everyone seems to be kindly ignoring the point that I only got the right(ish) answer because Baines lost pens 😀

        Good point about Falcao and Welbeck. Welbz got twice as many goals in all comps as Falcao (8 to 4) so I'll call that one a win 😀 Go me! And I'm so sure my Holtby prediction will have come true as well that I don't even need to check that one - that's three out of three. What a season!

                This season didn't exactly endear itself to taking hits to build TV etc. I love preseason. Lots of random topics are discussed until the cows come home!

                  Funnily enough, that wasn't what I was doing this time. I was relatively restrained for a time early on and did fairly well out of it. But then I just lost it. I had a really horrendous period where I had something like two injuries or suspensions per week for weeks and weeks and I responded very badly to it.

                  I do - as always - intend to be more restrained this coming season. I've shown myself I can do it for a short time so perhaps I can see it through this time 🙂

                    I only took 5 hits all season 😯

                    And there I was saying I'd do transfers earlier to build more TV etc, but of course I didn't lol. Luckily the changes to the price rises and the emergence of cheap reliable options meant my low TV didn't compromise me at all. I did find the season incredibly dull though as I never seemed to have a transfer I needed to do (so ended up doing stupid things like selling Costa in GW3 because I didn't want to burn a transfer.....)

                    You certainly had a rough stretch at Christmas time! Too early for the Jan WC to be of much use either.

                    I have to say getting the team mostly right in GW1 is an enormous help!

                      That was a great season for you. Good start, sure, but really consistent throughout. Shame you didn't quite squeeze into 1K.

                      The only concession I made to TV this season was early transfers before the Jan WC. I expect I'll do the same this season; I think it only bit me once which is a perfectly acceptable risk.

      There's something I like about Higuain although if I'm being honest I've not seen a great deal of him - his scoring record seems decent though.

      Don't know much about Martinez and not convinced by Benteke at a bigger club.

      I'm not convinced by any of them. Benteke lacks mobility, Higuain is a good finisher but his all round game might not be up to scratch, and Jackson Martinez is doing well in a poor league - I think he might flop. He'll be 29 in October, I don't think he's good enough to command that sort of fee.

      The destination Benzema chooses, if in England, will have a huge impact.

        Think Higuain is the best of those and then there's not much in it between Benteke and Jackson. Benteke is proven but he's also more one dimensional whereas Jackson is a risk but has more potential as an all round player imo.

          I would probably agree, Higuain the best of the lot. Benteke has age on his side, and proven PL ability is very important imo, of course some don't need it but it helps. Jackson, I just don't know about. He has never played at the level of Higuain or Tekkers, his highest being in the Portuguese leagues. You're right, he is a risk, but at 28 I don't know how much potential there is.

      Thinking about this, there is a real dearth of top quality strikers. No chance of anyone here getting Suarez, Ibrahimovic or Lewandowksi, Aguero and Costa are already here, who else is there?

      Never been convinced by Cavani, Benzema is class but will need replacing. Who could Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool realistically get? Players like Bacca, Benteke and Martinez might be the best they can do.

          I don't rate him that highly. I'm sort of going on the idea that Giroud isn't good enough for a title winning side. Maybe not, but who is? Is Mandzukic really even an upgrade? I'm not sure.

          The problem is pundits seem to think there are loads of good strikers around (same with centre backs). If Arsenal could get Benzema, then great, but there's a danger of spending £30m on someone not even as good as Giroud.

          Even the best strikers are struggling - Falcao was a world beater 2 years ago.

            Or better in some areas and worse in others.

            It's easy to get someone faster than Giroud, but not to get someone better in the air or goals from pouncing runs to the near post, or hold-up play.

People lament that "oh look at Arsenal's past - Henry, Bergkamp, Van Persie - what a downgrade!" Alright then, go out and pick up an Henry or Bergkamp.

                There's a cult of the star player these days, those messianic geniuses like Lionel Messi or Ronaldo.

                Football is a team sport, and winning teams coalesce around the strengths of their players what are better and worse in different ways.

                Neither Messi nor Ronaldo plays for Germany. Neymar doesn't either, and look how that turned out.

            Personally, if I was Ronaldo or Bale, I wouldn't be delighted to hear that Benzema is gone and now I play with Aguero. Nor would I be happy as their manager to hear that I have to play a team with Bale-Aguero-Ronaldo upfront and James-Kroos-Modric behind them baked up by a super gun-ho defence. But at Real, that's just how things work, so there's some likelihood in all this. I also can't see both Bale and Benzy staying if Aguero comes, but would see it more likely for Bale (the scapegoat) than Benzy to be sold. Benzema is essential for that team's functioning and Aguero is not the right kind of player to replace him. Hard to say who would be... Lewandowski maybe.

          That was the only one that took me a little while to decide. I just felt that Neymar offered most of what Suarez offered, plus being faster, a better dribbler, and his ability to own a game. What Neymar did at the World Cup was amazing.

        If true, then that is just extraordinary.

        I'd rather all the regionals just abandoned it and set up their own world body, just leave FIFA to wither. That would be far more humiliating.

            Actually, seems to be the same source, in fact a rumour, that is repeated by all papers. That is not really multiple sources, it is just multiple media repeating the rumour. It is not known who voted for Blatter.

    I know this is very unlikely to happen but if Arsenal or United can get CR7 and play him as CF they would instantly become title contenders.
    Reckon he still has 3-4 seasons of 40+ league goals left in him.

    Real Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay has been talking about the potential signing of Danny Ings and the future of head coach David Moyes.

    Here’s what he had to say: “Ings is not an easy signing for us, he has many offers from England. We have not spoken with his representatives for a month.
    “Moyes has never hinted at the possibility of returning to England. Since he arrived he has only thought of Real Sociedad."

    So, while unlikely, Ings has been contacted by foreign clubs as well.

    In some respects I like this summer slowdown

    Am trying to watch some of the missing episodes of Breaking Bad that I haven't recorded (damn series record stops after each season and I didn't realise at first)

    Now I can watch an episode and virtually nothing has happened on here, during the season I'd miss loads.
