Today should be savoured – once the final whistles are blown, we wave goodbye to Fantasy Football for an excruciating few months – all the more reason to squeeze every bit of excitement out of Sunday’s action.

Fantasy Premier League is doubtless your main course but, if you’ve yet to try out FanDuel this season, we’ve set up one final exclusive contest to offer you an opportunity to get involved.

We hope to be partnering with FanDuel next season and we know that there is a good deal of the community who have played and enjoyed the game in its first term.

For today, you can register an account, make a deposit and take place in a Fantasy Football Scout contest that gives you the chance to humiliate both Jonty and myself for the chance to win £50 in cash.

This “Beat the Scout” contest is free to enter.

Just register, deposit some funds in your account for next season and pick your line-up.

Everyone who surpasses the score produced by the team that Jonty and I are putting together will be entered into a draw to win £50 in cash – that’s cash, not credit.

Those already registered can also take part but, if you are new to the game, be sure to soak up the Weekly Shop and FanDuel Focus articles published earlier in the week.

They should help you with the nucleus of your line-up, plus you can tweak once the teamsheets come out, right up until the 3pm kick-offs.

Our current line-up is below – although be warned – the discussion is ongoing and Kane is coming in.

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

  1. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Sane/Alli to Coutinho (-4) ?

    1. S.Agueroooooo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      No

  2. Viper
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    The guy behind me who has taken 16 points worth of hits so far this season has just taken a 12 point hit. He's rolling the dice and going after me! I've a 21 point lead and don't intend on taking a hit

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Wowsers. Get a load of this guy. What a hero

    2. S.Agueroooooo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Strange move from him

    3. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He's 2k if that gives anyone else any hope of catching him too

    4. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      21 after the hits or before?

  3. WUSS
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Pre match conference suggests Conte will deploy his best starting 11 in preparations for cup final.
    Is hazard to coutinho still a valid move?
    or go with alli to coutinho?
    what are your thoughts on this?

    1. Tatty Bojangles
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I think I'm leaning towards Alli

      1. WUSS
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah same, it might be a riot at the bridge.

        1. HashAttack
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Hope it a riot .. Hazard feeding Azpi or Alonso for assists to Costa goals

  4. bazhef
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Alli/De Bruyne for Coutinho or leave as is?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Alli->Couti

  5. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    38 points ahead in the Contractor UK league. £500 for 1st place and was free to enter :shocked: I haven't even looked at my rivals team, I hope it's rubbish.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      😯

    2. NestorC
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Congrats Bubz

  6. Darbs
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Raheem Sterling's chances of starting?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Reasonably high

    2. bring_on _the_fantasy
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      sterling or son?

      1. Darbs
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Son, easy.

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Sound.

  7. mash
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Final push to overturn a 10 point gap using AoA:

    Caballero
    Alonso Monreal*
    Sanchez(c) Alli Coutinho Pedro* King
    Kane Jesus Llorente*

    Pickford Yoshida Stephens Daniels*

    Opponent has a very similar team to mine. The * indicates my differentials, whereas his are Kompany, Bailly, Zaha and Gabbiadini.

    GTG with lineup/use of AoA/captaincyy? Any transfers would be for a hit.

  8. Moss
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Chances of Sane starting today?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty much certain

      1. @FPLStrategist
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Balls out to win, Sane has to start.

    2. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Reasonably high

  9. @FPLStrategist
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Guys, best of luck with everything, may your final be green and may your leagues bring you cash 😀

    Can you select which 3 to start from the 4 here -

    Yoshida - Mawson -Cahill - Holding

    1. Jamin
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Drop Holding

  10. ankj70
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Caballero
    Cahill / Stephens / Holding / Cedric / Holgate
    Alli / Eriksen / Pedro / Sane / Sanchez
    Costa / Jesus / Gabbi

    1FT 0.8 ITB

    1) Holgate -> Lovern
    2) Alli -> Coutinho
    3) Gabbi -> Llorente
    4) Pedro -> Siggy
    5) other??

  11. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    In your opinion who scores least this week?

    A. Haz, Erik or Gabby

    Who scores most this week?

    B. Coutinho, Llorente or Vokes?

    1. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Gaby and cout

      1. JoeSoap
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks

  12. ZakAFC_
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Start Yoshida or Vertonghen?

  13. Junior âš½
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Fabregas or Coutinho?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Cout

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Coutinho because he's nailed.

    3. â­ Bemba_Da â­
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Coutinho

      Higher ceiling

  14. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    G2G?

    Cabellero
    Alonso Monreal Stephens
    Sanchez(C) Hazard Eriksen Sane King
    Kane Vokes

    Pickford Yoshida Holgate Anichebe

  15. Loker Joker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Would you prefer Wijnaldum (Mr. Anfield) or Lallana (Tip of the diamond)???

  16. nazrijack
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Alli to KDB/Sane for point hit?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Nah

  17. steve606
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    My current team is
    Cech
    Alonso Stephens Davies
    Sane Pedro Sanchez(TC) King
    Kane Costa Jesus

    Sane to Cout appeals but would be for -4. Do I stick or twist?

  18. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years

    Evening All

    Need to ditch Gabbi, little cash (6.6m) any thoughts on who to get?

    Thanks 🙂

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I would just keep him

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        This. #Believe

      2. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Keep Gabby?

        Really?

        What about Lorrente?

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Stoke are horrendous away from home, he has as good a chance of scoring this week as anyone else despite his form. Unless you think he won't start, in which case I'd ship for Llorente or Vokes

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Origi

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Didn't train yesterday according to Den Binnery

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Ahhh I didn't know that. Not him then.

      Vokes

    5. NestorC

      8 years, 6 months ago

      I would keep

    6. Enzo the Baker
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Got to be Llorente in that price range

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        That's what I was thinking...

    7. Artorias
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

    8. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

    a) Son to block -4
    b) Erikson -4

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Block him.

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        you dont think risk erikson and go for the win?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Go for the guaranteed win by blocking

          1. bring_on _the_fantasy
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            not garanteed, he has alonso and cahil, i have no chelsea defence ðŸ™

    2. bring_on _the_fantasy
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

    3. Mike82
      • 8 Years

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers Buddy

  20. willgriggsonfire
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Hi all! Reposting.
    Have 1 FT, 0 ITB.
    Should getting Gabbi out be a priority or should I look for replacing Hazard.
    1. Gabbi -> Llorente/Vokes
    2. Hazard -> Fabregas/Sane
    3. Hazard+Gabbi -> KDB+Llorente/Vokes
    4. Hazard+Gabbi -> Cou+Benteke
    5. Hazard+Gabbi -> Fab/Sane+Benteke
    6. Hazard -> Cou

    Sorry for lot of options.

  21. NestorC
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Who scores more

    A) King and Azpi
    B) Alli and Yoshi

    Cheers

    Hola amigos. Been drinking for the past 52 hrs but can see the light at the end of this dark period

    1. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Is Holding likely to start today?

  23. johnnymorrocco
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    What does a man who is miles ahead in ML and 20k overall do for one last week of fun?

    I was leaning to Llorente/Sturridge/Coutinho but concerned many people above will do same thing . A differential stops being one if everyone does it!

    I seek your wise counsel, FFS community!

    1. Urchin
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Epuc fail just pushed me to confirm the idea of getting Kun... I might do it...

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Sturridge is by all the sense of the word a differential! So is Llorente! We just like putting names on FFS

    3. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Willian/Vokes/Giroud

      1. johnnymorrocco
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        i was leaning to giroud. arse love the last day of the season

  24. united07
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Who to sell for Coutinho?!

    Eriksen
    Hazard
    Sane

    1. johnnymorrocco
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      b.

    2. Jamin
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I've gone over this so much I am tempted to go without!

  25. Lew
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Rate their chances (%) of starting today:

    Gibbs
    Holding

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      10%
      50%

    2. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Would like to know this too

  26. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Monreal->Matip
    or
    Vertonghen->Matip
    ?

    I have Cech

      b

  27. Manani
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Caballero Pickford
    Alonso Davies Yoshida Stephens Holgate
    Coutinho Pedro Sanchez Alli King
    Anichebe Jesus Kane

    1FT 2m in bank, obviously want to use my FT even for sideway-ish transfer.

    any recommendation?

    1. Jamin
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not the most exciting but
      Cab > Heaton
      Holgate > Matip

  28. RossoneriHammer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Transfer in Sturridge or Vardy?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Studge

  29. director
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Lads I need some opinion. Im 10 points behind without only four differences between myself and my rival...Do I need to have a different captain? I fully expect him to go Kane captain.

    I have Alonso, Koscielny, Mahrez and Sané
    He has Yoshida, Gibbs(Holgate), Pedro and Alli

    1. johnnymorrocco
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      10 points is easily swingable without diff captain. If you are feeling wild I'd go alonso. Won't he be trying to cover some of your differentials though?

      1. director
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Well I assume he'll bring in Coutinho for Hazard which I'll prob mirror.

        1. johnnymorrocco
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          so hazard could be your differential and you're selling him? that's brave

  30. The Cloud
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard to Coutinho? or love for olsson?
