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.

FD1

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

    8 years, 6 months ago

    OR is 1.7k now and I'd love to join TOP 1k for the 2nd time in my 9-season career.

    Current AOA team is:

    Willy
    Alonso - Koscielny
    Sanchez(vc) - Eriksen - Coutinho - Sane - King
    Kane(c) - Jesus - Vokes

    Pickford - Vertonghen - Stephens - Hogate

    no FT anymore

    am I G2G?
    Or should I change sth in the starting line-up?
    I guess no hit is worth looking at at this point?

    Any advice appreciated 🙂
    thx

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

      Solid team, no hit necessary.

    2. iron2010
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I'd scrap aoa and vert over Vokes unless I've missed an injury or suspension.

    3. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      gtg, i think i have C and wc other way

  2. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed.

    30 point ahead of main rival...I've got Coutinho already, he's got Vardy.

    Not sure what move he's made but I think he will keep Vardy.

    Do Gabbi > Vardy to block him, or double up with Sturridge for flair?

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

      Always block.

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

        yea can't take risks, don't want to showboat and end up losing.

        He's got Sane and Pedro as differentials to my Eriksen Coutinho (unless he brings in Cout too), but I think I can handle those.

        He's got Vardy to my Gabbi 😆

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

      Block but not for a hit.

  3. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Who do you think scores most points ?

    A Alli in 90 minutes
    B Hazard in 60 minutes

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

      B

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

      B

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

      B if starting.

    4. PEP G
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      A

    5. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      A

  4. chewing
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    24 points from #1 in my country and 8 from number 2 with my current team:

    Willy
    Alonso, Monreal, Vertonghen
    Sterling, Fab, King, Alexis,
    Costa, Kane, Jesus
    -
    Subs: Pickford, Yosh, Stephens, Carroll

    Both teams above me are very template with Alonso, Sterling, Fab being my current differentials... any suggestions 0.2 itb 1ft. Kane C.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      King > Zaha for a gamble?
      Willy > Mignolet?

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

      Sterling to Sane?

  5. pedro-tacuara
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Chances of Welbeck starting over Giroud? Was thinking Gabbi>Giroud

    1. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      very unlikely, but not out of the realms of possibility

    2. sk018
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Guardian had him on the bench in their match preview

  6. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Did Alli to Coutinho the other day and saw on my team '-4'...

    What the hell I thought. Turns out I did Anichebe to Crouch beforehand. For banter... what a pillock.

    Oh well! Fingers crossed Coutinho scores

  7. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Gtg?

    Cabellero
    Kompany, Alonso, Yoshida, Monreal
    Alli, Coutinho, Sanchez, King,
    Kane, Jesus

    Pickford, Stephens, Gabbiadini, Can

    1. PEP G
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Solid team man. all the best

  8. Caleb's Kitties
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Think i'm not going with the herd..holding both hazard and alli..and inclined to going bailly to matip instead with my FT..

    Or would benteke to vokes (and start yoshida) be a better move?

    Cech
    Alonso vertonghen matip
    Sanchez hazard alli sane
    Kane(C) jesus benteke
    Pickford yoshida jwp holgate

  9. niloh1
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard or alli out for coutinho?

    1. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      wouldn't be able to make that decision, both at risk of reduced minutes

    2. PEP G
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Hazard

  10. bowsy51
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Pick 2 to start:

    A) Davies (hul)
    B) Mustafi (EVE)
    C) Yoshida (STK)

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

      AC

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

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

    1 FT, 2m in bank.
    pretty happy with my team, but don't want to save FT either. any recommended moves?
    thinking caballero > mignolet

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

      Heaton?

  12. BobBradleysOpportunity
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    have kane and sanchez, i think I'm going jesus as captain....easiest fixture, has an extra two days rest.... someone talk some sense into me...

    1. iron2010
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Bottom of the three for me

    2. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kane is lethal these days

  13. iron2010
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Who do we think will be most popular top 10k captain ? I've made some crazy moves this week (8 point hit) and feel Sanchez is more of a blocking option. But Kane against that defence.......

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

      Kane or Sanchez.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez prob followed by Kane

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

      Kane easily

    4. chewing
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Got to be Kane

  14. asif316uk
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    A.Cabellero Lovren Eriksen Sturridge
    B. Mignolet Matip Hazard Fabregas

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

    A) AOA with A strike force of Kane, Gabbiadini, and Vokes whilst benching Stephens
    B) Gabbiadini to Vokes

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

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

    Yoshida - Mawson -Cahill - Holding

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      First 3

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      This

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

    Caballero (Jaku)
    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

  18. Pap Boomez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Rooney out for:

    A - Vokes
    B - Llorente
    C - Giroud
    D - Benteks

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Giroud a good punt

  19. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Play Davies or Yoshida (and block rival)?

    1. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Davies. Great form.

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

        Yeh I think he's the better option, but rival has double Saints defence... could be a 10 point swing

  20. ElTorro
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    -8 hit
    KDB and Kompany--->Sanchez and Terry?
    KDB and Costa--->Sanchez and Sturridge

    OR nothing at all?

    1. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

    My mini league leader has done 2 transfers. How does team value work. This morning he had TV of 105.3 with 0.5 itb. Now he has TV of 105.4 and 0.6 itb?

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

      And that was after the price changes?

      1. On The Up
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        No he did transfers this morning? How can he make transfers and his team value go up?

        1. On The Up
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Team value and money itb go up

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

    I hate owned Alli at this stage.He seem not interested last thursday. Any chance he will not playing?

    Thinking transfer him out for Sane/kdb for point hit

  28. Espen8
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Jesus or Costa out for Kane ?

    1. iron2010
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Costa - minute risk
