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.

    This time last year I went for Long&Tadic over Giroud and Walcott.

    Cost me a cash league missing Giroud's hat-trick. Can't forget.

    Hazard to Coutinho
    Capt Kane ,Jesus ,Sanchez?? Chasing 9 pts.

    1. zotter

  5. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Kosc+Monreal or Kosc/Monreal+Stephens? I can't decide 🙂

    1. zotter

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

      if opponent gets 71 more points, you might end up second....

      No highly unlikely unless his captain score 5 and you don't own him

    4. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 10 Years

    5. Darbs
      • 14 Years

      Assuming no one's got triple captain left to play, if you've got a full squad out today then the title's yours.

  12. Sahil Yadav

    8 years, 6 months ago

    Is this team okay for an AOA? Or should i play Davies with 3 at the back?

    Caballero
    Alonso, Yoshida
    Sanchez, Alli, KDB, King, Carroll
    Kane, Jesus, Gabbi

    1 FT, 0.3ITB

    1. Sahil Yadav

      Bench: Jaku, Davies, Friend, Robertson

    2. zotter

      8 years, 6 months ago

      Play Davies. Also gabbi to lllrente

  13. jimmy12
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Hi guys, is it even possible for me to make up 21 points on leader? i managed to find out his team for today:

    My Team

    Robles
    Otamendi | Koscielny | Monreal | Alonso
    Sanchez | Coutinho | Ndidi
    Benteke | Costa | Jesus

    Subs: Da Gea | Herrera | Yoshida | JWP

    ---------------------------------------------

    His Team

    Caballero
    Holding | Alonso | Stephens | Bailly
    Sanchez | King | Eriksen
    Gabbiadini | Jesus | Kane (C)

    His is looking better and Kane will probably score
    If i go Sanchez | Jesus captain, i probably wont make up the points on him

    any ideas?

    thanks

    1. jimmy12
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Costa captain if we find out he starts ?

      Or take a punt on Coutinho?

    2. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Captain Costa - I'm guessing you cant afford Herrera to Fabregas?

      21 is doable but you need your captain to be someone he doesnt have imo, and to outscore his captain

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

      Captain Costa and pray. If you got FT get mig in goal

      1. jimmy12

        already done a -4

    Everything comes down to this - may the template continue to bring in the points 😀

    Why would Alli be getting rested this week? For what?

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

      He won't.

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

      Wont be rested

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      To me, it's not about Alli being rested, but that he just gets 5-7 points max these days. No baps for him. Coutinho gets bigger hauls. If hazard were to start, he'd get a bigger haul, imo.

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Just like Haz's double gameweek hauls

        1. walkman666
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Nope, just like many others hauls against Sunderland in wide open games. That is my thinking. Who knows? It's just that when hazard scores, he tends to get double digits. Not so much for Alli lately. I agree that hazard hasn't done much at all of late. It's a hunch.

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

            I know what you mean re the points - 28 from the last 5 away / Mahrez is 27 last 5 home / Ozil is 33 last 5 home
            Question is, as I have already done Haz to Cout, is there anyone else to replace Alli with?

            I'm 29 points from top 100K ... is Alli blanks then not having him should get me over the line
            If only the season wasn't ending, I'd be happy to burn some more hits

      2. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        The reason to rest him would be about the other players - why wouldn't a Premier League team, in a unique position to give some youngsters/squad players pitch time, ignore it in a pointless games?

        The rest for what? irritates me because it ignores all the squad players who would surely want a run out. I'm not saying I think he will not start, but it's a clear possibility.

        Why not rest him? is probably a better question in this case imo

    4. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone could be rested from all teams apart from Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal. Some we expect not to play will play, and some we think will won't play. It's a lottery and a couple of strong subs are recommended.

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Definitely - there will be some real surprises today.

  16. Newsman70
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Ahead in my mini league by 19 points. Opponent has Courtois Sane Costa Holding Eriksen as differences. Pick two for me to transfer in to block him?

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

      Eriksen and Costa

    2. Newsman70
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Getting Costa means giving up Kane and Eriksen Alli

      1. Newsman70
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Even if i give up Kane?

  17. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Is there usually an end of season scoutcast after the final GW? Can't remember

    1. Evs

      No, this weeks was the last unfortunately.

  18. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Sturridge likely to start?

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

      I'd say so.

    2. Football Weekender

      100%

  19. MESSINHO

    8 years, 6 months ago

    Hi,

    One point behind my ML rival, feel I have the stronger team but my defence is shot. I've got 1FT and Alonso, Luiz and Stones all 50/50 starters. Ideally I want to move Ali to coutinho. Do I take a hit and ship one of those three out? Please help! I'm wracking my brain here and ruining a Sunday afternoon for the Mrs! Ha

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

      Why don't you lose stones then I look at upgrading there?

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

        Thanks

        I have 0.00 ITB. I could use my free to move Ali to coutinho then upgrade stones to lovren. All I could afford!

  21. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    It will be funny if Hazard starts and scores a hat trick in before being subbed off at half-time

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

      not funny
      I'm keeping him
      he is a flat track bully

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

      I am too afraid to transfer him out for a -4p. If I had 2 FT then maybe but I had bigger problems in my team to take care of this week (i.e. Gabbi).

      Let's just hope that someone else than Cout scores all the points för Liverpool. 🙂

  22. Bruno Bruno!!

    Which option do you guys prefer?

    A. Gabbi and Hazard to Sturridge and Fabregas
    B. Gabbi and Hazard to Llorente and Coutinho
    C. Gabbi to Llorente/Vokes

    Got Alli, Sanchez, Sane, Albrighton in midfield and Kane and Jesus as forwards
    Have 2 FTs

  27. Benzemabob

    Best of luck to all in the final roll of the dice..

  28. F4L

  29. DavidSilva
    • 16 Years

    Haz Gabb out for Cout Giroud -4

    Thoughts?

  30. Atimis

    Fast one !
    Coutinho in:
    A. For Hazard
    B. For Eriksen
