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.

    A: -8
    Hazard > Countinho
    Ward Prowse > Fabregas
    Rashford > Vokes

    B: -4
    Eriksen > Coutinho
    Rashford > Vokes

    C: Free
    Rashford > Vokes

  2. Stats Don\'t Lie

    A)Bertrand > matip/lovren
    B)Hazard > cout/son
    C)Hazard +alli > Sanchez + son(-4)
    D)Costa > Sturridge

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

      You don't have Sanchez?? C then

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        My front 8:

        Hazard, Ozil, Alli, Fabregas, King
        Kane, Costa, Jesus

        This is why...

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

          Ah, money wasted on Costa! I see 🙂

          1. Stats Don\'t Lie
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Was quite fuming as had opted for Costa + Ozil over gabbi + Sanchez in the doubles...

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

      fat MAYBE A

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

    Liverpool to keep a CS?

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

      Yes

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

      Middlesbrough haven't won away from home since August and have rarely troubled anyone in that time. In fact, they have failed to score in nine of their last 11 away league matches.

    3. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Could well do, but i wouldnt be relying on it. Theyve been unpredictable at the back.

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

        So NOT for a hit? (Pool def)

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      They've had 3 on the spin now, a bit more solid in defence in recent weeks

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

      I don't think so

  4. vectorman
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    So if you have Alli and you have Hazard both at risk of being rested, which one out of the two are people thinking should be shifted?. Obviously one of them needs to go, also have at risk Gabbi so it's definitely a move I need to make.

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

      I'd rather shift Alli because I have 2 other Spurs and no other Chelsea.

      But I'm pretty sure we'll find out something before the deadline so not worried.

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

        Yeah I have Erik & Kane and no Chelsea back either. Had it in mind all week it's going to be Haz, not so sure now

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

      I would think about taking both out

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

        I'm 17 points behind the leader 44 points ahead of a rival with a TC. Bit scared of taking hits even though been doing it all season lol

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

      I ditched hazard and benched alli

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

        Madness

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

          It was him or king

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

      What does Alli need to be rested for ????

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

        World Cup

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

        Thought the same about Erik too, seem to come out of the blue somewhat. Though he does seem to rest him more than Alli for some reason

  5. Qubit
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Always hated the randomness of the teams we end up with from an FPL point of view on the last day. However, having said that, its so much better with all the games on at the same time, in contrast to how spread out the games have become the rest of the time.

    Good luck everyone!

  6. jimmy.floyd
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    1 Captain?
    A Kaane
    B Sanchez

    2 Bench one?
    A Alonso
    B Smith
    C Stephens
    D Gibbs

    Chasing guy who is 20 points ahead, he doesn't have Kane or Sanchez

    Repost - 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/captaincy? Any transfers would be for a hit.

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

      I wouldn't take a further hit, looks gtg, just gotta hope for the best imo

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

    Will Son start?

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

      Surely. He was fabulous on Thursday

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

    Need some advice please.. im chasing down 29 points with no kane and hoping spurs misfire. would it be better for me to bring in someone like sturridge coutinho instead of son as i already have eriksen and we both have no liverpool?

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, with that gap you have to go sturidge and hope pool go mad

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

      Bring in Couts if you have no Pool.

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

      Spurs could be more free flowing. Though I think pool will score two or three. Maybe get Son and Sturridge

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

        it has to be 1 or the other as that would mean i have to bench king

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, sturriddge for me

    5. Rash

    2. zotter

      1. jackhammer1
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Stephens has been out scoring him for bonus.

  14. Arn De Gothia

    Repost:

    Worth using my FT here or change bench order? It's burning a hole in my hand!

    Cech
    Alonso, cahill, monreal, vertonghan
    Sanchez, eriksen, kdb, king
    Kane(c), Jesus

    Thanks

    1. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years

      i think everton will score, you have ars x 2

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

        Swap cab with cech? Or monreal to Stephens? I agree that arsenal will probably struggle to handle kaku at the back, it's a tough one.

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

          I would, or use FT to Forster? or whoever u feel can keep a CS

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

      Wouldn't have double arsenal defence ... Cech > Migno or Flappy

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

    A. Hazard> Countinho
    B. Erik>Coutinho
    C. Gabby>Llorente
    D. Gabby>Vokes

    1ft & AOA remaining

    Caballero,
    Alonso, Monreal, Yoshiba
    Sanchez, Hazard, King, Erik,
    Jesus, Kane, Gabby

    Pickford, Stephens, Caroll, Smith,

  18. Martial Matas

    8 years, 6 months ago

    1ft, on a bench boost, which is better?

    A) Mawson > Lovren
    B) T Carroll > Stanislas
    C) Neither

    (Also have Llorente btw)

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

      b) ... Mawson can get a cs and goal, Stan has quite a high form rating

      1. Martial Matas
        • 9 Years

        Thanks!

  19. DD DUBAI
    • 13 Years

    Can we expect Costa to start this week ? Looking to do different and captain him. Behind by 20 pts in ML

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

      Yeah

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

      start but his track record doesn't suggest double point hauls

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

    Anyone post goal scoring odds?

  21. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Is it frowned upon to block a rival, or smart?

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

      Smart if you get the business done.

      1. The Wizard of Ozil
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I have Vardy and am 22 points ahead. He has Jesus. Considering Jesus, but should be safe with Vardy..right?

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

      Smart

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Smart. I did it from all the way back in GW30

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

      I dont like it myself. But perfectly sensible - depending on how much of a lead you have.

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

      Who cares what people think. Make whatever moves you want.

    6. The Wizard of Ozil
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Just curious of the etiquette. Clearly there isn't any on this!

  22. fish66
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Alli > Coutinho for FT

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on if either is a differential of any importance. Otherwise I'd stick

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

      Yep

  23. Winks Club

    1. Revival

      I can see a strong Chelsea starting XI

    To echo a post made by SGT. SCHULTZ earlier, I just wanted to take a moment to thank the FFS community for the articles, posts and comments over the season.

    I joined FPL this season after my work buddies could talk of nothing else last season. I figured if I couldn't beat 'em I'd join 'em. A complete novice when it came to EPL, and crippled by a notoriously short attention span, the odds were stacked against me.. but I swore I'd see it through. This site was my saviour. By reading your posts and reading countless comments, I started to understand the game, and have now developed a genuine passion for it.

    On this final day, I am a very respectable 3rd in our ML of 20, beating those seasoned veterans who scoffed when I joined and taking great delight in keeping up with conversations about bench boosting, rotation risks and DGWs.

    I look forward to paying my membership and participating in the community next season. Good luck everyone!
