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.

    32 Points ahead of ml rival, he has TC left to play plus has made 2 transfers. Could be a long afternoon

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Can you link his and your team,want to keep my eye on this.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed

    2. Forza Juventus
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Good luck, Forza Juve! Try and just captain the guy he triples and i think you should have a solid chance.

  2. Pinky Blinders
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Will Lallana start?

    1. Gazj11
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yrs

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      100% unless injured

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

    We are running through the pages.

    How's this look

    Hennesey
    Yoshida Holding Bailly
    Sanchez Coutinho Sterling King Pedro
    Jesus Kane

    Take out Bailly for Matip? that would be a -4.
    And triple captain Kane? or Sanchez?

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

      Kane tc

  4. IWR
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Keep Alli or move to Fab for a -4?

    No Chelsea attack and have Kane.

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

      Keep

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Keep Alli and no hit

  5. zacdawesome
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    4 point hit for KDB > Countinho or not worth it?

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

      Not worth the hit

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kdb will be strong today. Watford = no fit defenders and a manager leaving that the players dont like and who have no interest.

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

      No

  6. KJT123
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Basically if Hazard starts, we've all made a huge error. Big decision.

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I've gone Alli --> Coutinho instead... It' all a big coin toss anyway!!!

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

      Potentially. That said, he's plays incredibly recently without getting amongst the Fantasy points. Fingers crossed that continues.

    3. Bill Car
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      The defining moment of the season potentially

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

      If he does start and thats a big if he won't play more than 65 min's

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        He will get 70-80 minutes as usual and it hasn't stopped him form getting huge hauls before.

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

    It's been 4 years since Hazard last scored against Sunderland 😀

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

      Seriously!?

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

        Yes last scored (2 goals) in Dec 2013

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

          Wow

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

      That hat trick today will reset that stat

    3. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He missed Sunderland away and last year Chelsea were kak. Completely different story now 😉

  8. diesel001

    Thnk it is time for a preamble

  9. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Any news about Haz and Alli? Will they start?

    I think to replace Haz and Alli with KDB and Cou for -4 hits.
    A. Yes
    B. No

    Thx you.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Not always, but he tends to be right more often than not

  12. George Sillett

    For anyone else asking if Hazard starts only Conte knows.

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

      Not correct..You missed out Conte's wife

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

      I'm sure Hazard also knows

        Cech
        Vert Alonso Kompany
        Fab Cout Sanchez Alli King
        Jesus Kane

    Willy - (Pick)
    Monreal - Cahill - Yosh - (Stephens) - (Holgate)
    Haz - Sanchez - Eriksen - King - (Albrighton)
    Kane - Jesus - Gabbi

    1. Rhys85

    Just a general question: 10 point lead in ML with a few players different. Would you take any hits to block players? Or just keep faith in what you have?

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

      Keep faith dont take hits

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

      Too close to block.

  20. Shultan
    • 9 Years

    Bench alli or king?

    Need some help... 2nd in ML, 10 PTS behind.

    Opponent has:

    Caballero
    Naughton, Stephens, Luiz
    King, Silva, Eriksen, Pedro
    Lukaku, Kane, Costa

    Nordfelt, Davies, Dawson, Smith

    I have:

    Cech
    Baines, Walker, Valencia
    Pedro, King, Alli, Sanchez
    Costa, Rashford, Gabbiadini

    Jakupovic, Ndidi, Bailly, Mawson

    0ft 0itb...

    Think it's a lost cause, any suggestions? Take a hit on Alli + Sanchez > Cout + Hazard

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Gabbi > Vokes is a good Diff mate

  28. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Which one???

    (K)ane
    San(c)hez

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

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

      Kane for me

  29. KUNingas
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    A) Llorente + Coutinho
    B) Giroud + Lallana

  30. Z3US
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    30 points behind ML - already done FT (Alli to Cout) - anything else to be done here worth minus points - using AOA

    Cabby
    Alonso Monreal
    Son Cout(c) Haz King Sane
    Gabbi Jesus Lukaku

    Bench : Holding Jagielka Fabio

    Any advice appreciated! Leader has Kane, so am needing some sort of diff..

    1. Z3US
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Forster is other sub goalie also.

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

      Get Kane to begin with, and differentiate elsewhere.

      1. Z3US
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Getting Kane will take -8 now.... too much..?

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

          No, because without him you will lose the ML. Just consider, who will score more Lukaku away to Arsenal /Gabbi or Kane? Can you do Lukaku+ gabbi -> Kane + Vokes (-4)?

          1. Z3US
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Luk to Vardy instead for just -4... Couldn't afford Luk/Gabs to Kane/Vokes..

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

              You really need Kane somehow. Try Lukaku + Gabbi -> Kane + Barnes or Fabio/Forster to a cheapie
