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.

    Haz > Cout for me

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

      you heard that somewhere, or just in your mind?

      1. Cookie Kid
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        In my mind 🙂

  9. _Gunner
    • 11 Years

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez or Coutinho. Depends on my mood at 13:59.

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

      Fabregas or Eriksen or Kane

  10. niloh1
    • 10 Years

    1. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Haz IMO

      Alli will deck Poch if he rests him when all the exercise he has in the next 2 months is sipping beers on a beach

    2. Ginola14

      2pm bst

  12. Ginola14
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    just read lawros predictions and seen the final league table, what is he smoking, Liverpool to have got unbeaten all season and be level with chel on 92 points, and he actually gets paid for these predictions?!!!!

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

      Liverpool fan, what did you expect?

      1. Ginola14
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        him to look at their back 4 and give an unbiased opinion

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

          😆 Good one!

        2. Digital-Real
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Mane and Coutinho not available for a few months- two of the best players in the league this season. That would hurt any team.

  13. I am 42
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    (C)osta anyone with me?

  14. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    3 mini league rivals all within a few points of me - they all have Hazard and Alli, none of them have Sanchez or Coutinho. 2 of them don't have Kane either Is it worth hanging onto Hazard and Alli to cover the risk and not getting Coutinho and just using San(c)hez and Kane as my differentials?

    1. Ginola14
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      C kane

  15. Dr Dream

    8 years, 6 months ago

    Crikey.

    BBC Reporting a scenario that could require a play off for a CL place. I didn't quite catch the nuts and bolts of it but they definitely said it.

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

      Think it's if Liverpool lose 2-0 and Arsenal draw 1-1. Don't think I could put myself through the stress of that...

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Or if city draw 3-3. Pool win 3-0

        Or arsenal win 4-0. City lose 1-0. I think

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

      Has to be a few unusual scorelines but it could happen

    3. Vinyl78LP
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Liv 0-2 Boro
      Ars 1-1 Eve = p/off so i inderstand

      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, I've seen this before. It would need some really weird scores, but it could happen. No gonna happen though imo.

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

        city draw 3-3. Pool win 3-0 ... this could happen

  16. Gravless wonder
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Would really appreciate some advice for the last time this season 🙂

    55 points ahead of my ML and I am using bench boost this week (rival doesn't have any chips remaining). What transfers would you recommend?:

    MY TEAM (bench boost):

    Jaku Grant

    Alonso Brunt Monreal Creswell Mawson

    Sanchez King Siggy Sane Zaha

    Kane Lukaku Jesus
    .....................................................................................
    RIVAL:

    Courtois Hennessey

    Gibbs Fuchs Robertson Williams Dawson

    Eriksen Alli Sterling Sane Ward-Prowse

    Kane Rashford Jesus
    ....................................................................................

    Potential transfers:
    1) Lukaku + Grant -> Sturridge + Mignolet (-4)
    2) Lukaku -> Costa
    3) Lukaku + Zaha -> Vokes + Son (to counter Eriksen + Alli)
    4) Any other ideas

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Do what you like. It's in the bag. Go for 1

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

      2 is the best from them

      But if your bench boosting I would think of keeping Lukaka and strengthen else-where.

      1. Gravless wonder
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Where would you strengthen?

  17. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

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

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

    Close mini league rival will triple captain Sanchez.

    Do I:

    A) Captain him and hope rest of my team pull through
    B) Captain Kane (who he doesn't own)

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

      A if you're leading

      1. Blue Moon Rising
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        There's nothing in it.

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

      I'd go Kane and finish him off 🙂

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

    Is it wise to get a Pool def for a hit?

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

      Comon boys, help me out pls! Will appreciate your inputs

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

      Makes no sense

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

        Ok HA. Thank you mate!

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

      Not in the slightest

      1. Ginola14
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        big fat no

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

      Clean sheet guaranteed, but will the player you getting rid of score less than 2 points is the question then?

    5. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      If you think pool def will score or assist and keep cleansheet then yes

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

      Never take a hit for defender (if you can field 11 players), and certaintly not for a Livepool one !

    7. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      No...

    too many questions, do ppl really expect to get them answered, play your own game and good luck
