This season, we are running a Fantasy Football Scout league on Superbru’s Premier League Predictor game.

It’s free and fun to play, there are cash prizes on offer every week – including £50,000 if you can predict all 10 matches in a round – and it will also help to sharpen your Fantasy Football thinking ahead of the weekend.

Many of your Fantasy decisions are based on your predictions about what will happen in each match. For instance, you may end up captaining Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) because you predicted that Liverpool will thrash Cardiff, or you pick a Chelsea defender because you don’t think Huddersfield will score against them.

By going through the process of making predictions and entering them on Superbru, it will help to provide clarity in your team selection for that round.

Furthermore, you’ll also be adding your wisdom to the crowd. Hutch_James wrote a preview for each Gameweek last season, using the aggregated predictions from the Superbru community. Those predictions performed better than 99% of individuals in the game, proving that the collective knowledge of football fans can be greater than one person’s individual knowledge.

Please get involved and lend your own predictions to the community, and Hutch will return with the series again this year.

Scoring system

The scoring system is simple but smart, and designed to reward accuracy.

Prizes

You could win up to £50,000 depending on the number of exact scores you can predict in each round of 10 matches!

– 10 exact scores: £50,000
– 9 exact scores: £10,000
– 8 exact scores: £1,000
– 7 exact scores: £500
– 6 exact scores: Your choice of Premier League jersey
– 5 exact scores: a Superbru Yellow Cap

It’s totally free to play, so you might as well have a go.

Recruitment incentive

Superbru is great fun when you play with your friends or work colleagues. Over 90% of people say they would recommend Superbru to a friend and if you do just that, it will be worth your while.

Set up your own league and invite 10 new UK-based people to Superbru, and you could be eligible for £50 at the end of the tournament. See the T&Cs and how it works

Superbru app

The app is the best way to play the game – it’s quick and simple, with live scoring and lots of other cool features.

Download the free Superbru app from the App Store or Google Play.

Wisdom of the Crowd articles

Look out for the Gameweek 1 preview on Friday, with the aggregated predictions for the first round of matches as we all look to get a fast start in Fantasy Premier League. The more people that join, the better those predictions should be, so please do get involved.

    Any Southampton fans wise to who their starting keeper will be? It's only pre-season and I'm already itching for the line up of Saints against that long named German team!

    Jumping in on the Sarri comment and how he may have Chelsea line up...seeing Dries Mertens up, do we think he could entertain the option of Hazard as CF is Morata continues to frustrate? He seems to rate both Willian and Pedro (new deal) so having them RW/LW wouldn't be an issue

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Think Hazard would have a more productive season playing off the striker to be honest

    2. Slam
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      What Sarri comment if you don’t mind me asking?

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Previous page someone asked about his formation and how it could relate to how Chelsea line up this year

  5. Greenbackbøøg…

    Hazard owners how do you feel about this photo https://twitter.com/SimplyCosta/status/1025411658175467520

    1. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I feel sorry that it does not exist..

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        aw no, anyway it was just Haz looking a little thick

        1. Keep Calm and Play On
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          haha as long as he puts in 20 in happy

    Who's the 4.0 Keeper fodder people are going with? Is the team you would never get 3 players from the way to go?

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I got Hamer for this reason.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes - plus low ownership to avoid drops

      1. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        good point too. 3.9m doom

    4. Botman and Robben

      7 years, 4 months ago

      Boruc, with Ederson

    5. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Boruc for me.

  7. Kinder Mbueno
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Could Aurier be a differential with Bavies oop? Or avoid?

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Ok first 2

  8. JJeyy
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Best option?:

  9. Woy_is_back

    This transfer window is the worst ever!!!

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I know right????
      Ronaldo moving clubs, Vidal to Barca, record GK signing

      Argh, so boring

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Vidal is passed it. Alison is mediocre as fck

        1. FlyingWithoutIngs
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Ah did you watch lots of roma last year?

  10. _Greg
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Lost on last page. Lots of good options isn't there? I'm gonna start with Salah + 3x 8m or below + Firmino, Zaha and Arnie with 5m in the bank. Will jump on form players after!

    Pick 3:

    A Mata
    B Pedro
    C Moura
    D Jota
    E Maddison
    F Antonio
    G Mkhitaryan
    H Richarlison
    I Keita
    J Martial
    K Willian
    L Sigurdsson
    M Shaqiri
    N Gross

    1. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 9 Years

      B G H seem the popular picks on here..

      1. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        thanks

      2. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I have Pedro Keita Moura atm but expect Miki to be in for gwk3

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      D, G and Schurrle for me

      1. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Interesting. So many options is great though, allows a better defense this year.

        1. Limbo
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Should have read DH and Schurrle. Don't like Miki until the season's settled in. Think Richarlison will do great.

          1. _Greg
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Only not starting with him cos of new manager + shifty form. I agree though he will be value at that price.

    3. There Can Be Only One
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      C G I

      1. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Pedro or Mhki...just not expecting goals in Arse City!

    4. BC1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      E H I

  11. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Do we think Digne will be nailed at Everton? Or will Baines start?

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He will, Baines is too old.

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Can't see it being immediate, unless this fella is as good Danny Alves. Coleman is your best bet.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks, all. Might stick with VVD / Coleman / Tomkins (Wan-Bis / Peltier) for now, then maybe VVD / Digne and upgrade Tomkins or Wan-Bis.

    3. Third Eye Vision
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I have been speculating about Everton playing 3 at the back with Coleman & Baines pushing up. He’s played them v. high in the pre-season games, & we keep getting caught out with Jags & Keane lacking the sense/pace to recover.

      This is not based in reality - just in my head.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Ha, thanks. Good to know.

  12. cjk17
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Do we think Mendy is going to play GW1?

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I am 50/50. community shield will be good to see if he starts that.

    2. infa fred
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      i think at 6 mil you shouldnt have to be worrying about if hes gunna play so i would pick someone else

      1. cjk17
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Valid point

      2. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Get ederson for def city cover

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years

      Hasn't played at all so not sure, Sunday should show us, hopefully!

    just in case people were wondering the owner of this site wrote a book on fantasy football and it actually looks pretty decent so if you're serious about this or interested in what its like heres the amazon link.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wasting-Your-Wildcard-Madness-Football/dp/1787290166/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1533314057&sr=8-1&keywords=wasting+your+wildcard

      1. infa fred

        sorry you know what i meant

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Well done to the writer of the book. I wrote a book on the texture of cheese (thesis)! I am boycotting Amazon for ever by the way. Bezos worth 140bn while his workers have to pee in bottles.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Puffin initially approached Mark who referred them to David

      Good book, although don't go expecting to get tips on who to pick for your team. It's a book for the FPL enthusiast to learn the history and to know where it's going

  14. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Eriksen or Mane?

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mane

    2. Goat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I’ve gone mane

    3. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mane for me, by a nose. Don't think Spurs will hit ground running this year.

    4. There Can Be Only One
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sadio every day, especially since he seems to have pens as well

  15. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Presumably Hart will come into the game as a 4.5?

    Do you think he would be first choice?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Weird one to me. Surely Heaton is almost back and he ought to be first choice.

  16. George James
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Chicarito up top with Arnie playing CAM.

    Arnie owners worried?

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nah he's class

    2. cjk17
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nah. If Arnie doesn't score he'll be providing the assist.

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Lets him have more influence in the attacks, he won’t be tracking back

  17. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Pedro or Richarlison?

    1. infa fred
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      richarlison to begin with then pedro

    2. There Can Be Only One
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Pedro, ( but will depend on cs lineup)

  18. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Nick Pope must be gutted.

    1. Teror
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He understands that it was all in God's plan.

  19. cjk17
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Does anyone else think Chelsea may struggle to score goals? Is that just me?

    1. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nah I think Hazard is going to have his best ever season. Straight in my team when he's back... those fixtures are too good. Newcastle, Bournemouth & Cardiff

      1. Podge
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Madrid not an option?

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      At first, and not only due to the lack of an ideal centre-forward. Spurs under Poch and Pool under Klopp took time to adjust to a pressing-from-the-front system, so I think their attack will be disjointed for a while until they gel. Would expect them to be a bit limited until the winter break.

    3. There Can Be Only One
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It won't be a benteke like struggle, will be a small bedding in process but they have some very good players who should adapt and enjoy playing under sarri

    4. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      "Sarri-ball" = goals

  20. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Cairney or Neves?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Cairney

  21. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    How are Huddersfield town tearing apart a full strength Leipzig

    1. McEwan
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Did they not play last night in the Europa? Might have an impact

  22. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    going with Aguero & Arnie atm, can't decide between these lot for my 3rd striker spot.

    Wood
    Austin
    Tosun
    Zaha
    King
    Mitrovic

    So tricky. What's your thoughts?

    1. infa fred
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      i have gone for a 5.5 jimenez. wolves' main striker and i reckon a very underrated player who could prove to be amazing

    2. There Can Be Only One
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I've gone for Wood, but tracking his injury

      1. 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Back on Zaha for now, Tosun is becoming less convincing

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Burnley have agreed a fee of £15m with Middlesbrough for Ben Gibson. The Clarets had failed with two previous bids of £12m & £13m over the past 48 hours.

      Now that makes a lot more sense than Hart. Of course they'll prolly go out of Europa in the next round and Gibbo won't get much game time!

        ben gibson isn't a goalkeeper?

    Last year Mo broke the 300 point barrier. I fancy a defender will break the 200 point barrier this year. Betting on Robbo.

      Just took Robbo out because of Keita. Keita is so cheap. Might lose Firmino for Robbo though.

        I'd feel happier without Mo than Robbo (welded into my team).

      I dunno... they'd have to be getting double figures for goals or assists over the season. And a fair few clean sheets...

      1. Je suis le chat

        Reckon Pool will target the league and get 18 plus cleanies. Think Robbo will get 10 assists and 2 goals plus heaps of bonus points.

    I can't be the only person who finds it very bizarre that there are so many price points without viable options?

    Lack of decent 5.0 defenders - 6.5, 6.0, 5.5 and 4.5 seem to offer so much more.
    Only one 8.0 midfielder - Pogba.
    All of the 7.0 midfielders are questionable at best - good for a punt though?
    Most significantly, only three strikers in the whole inclusive range of 9.0-7.5m - seems like you either go premium (11+), standard (9.5) or budget (6.5/7.0).

    If you could only have one...?

    A) Luiz
    B) PVA
    C) Bailly

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      that's my defense lol

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Even more so then, if you could only have one?

      coleman

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years

        Already have him.

      It's like the canteen at school dinners.

      1. Limbo
        • 15 Years

        (don't really want any of them, but I'm hungry and not got much money)

      I’ve had a look at those 3 before

      Hihi, u got loads of replies, but nobody actually answered! I would go for PVA, most certain starter in my opinion.

    6. There Can Be Only One
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Luiz

    7. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      PVA will be the most fun to own.

  27. _Greg

    Peltier or Bednarek? have WB

    1. infa fred

      peltier more guanranteed

    Jagielka to start?

    1. infa fred
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      might now be a rotation risk with the signing of digne

      1. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Digne's a left back. Jags is like to start unless another CB comes in IMO. Could play in a back 3 with Keane and a youngster or in back four.

        At 35 he's pushing it. Will be his last season and will head off to Sheffield again I imagine, come the summer. So even if he starts, without attacking returns I don't think he's a great buy. At least with Coleman or Baines you have intent.

    2. cjk17
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah I think so.

    3. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Williams gone so I think yeah.

    Is Sane a better option than David Silva (given he costs an extra £1m)?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      All will be rotated. My opinion is to get the cheapest one of those who will all be rotated. Bernardo silva. He is also in the best form of the lot

    Firmino's ownership is insane.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Surprising even though he's brilliant. Neglected by Brazil in 2 world cups. I may go without him for a bit.

    2. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      This is making me think that I should get him.

    3. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He's impossibly hard to own. So streaky.
