Wasting Your Wildcard: Should FPL players ‘get a life’? We think not…

Fantasy Premier League managers can now read an extract from the recently released book ‘Wasting Your Wildcard’.

Written by long-term Fantasy Football Scout contributer David Wardale, the book hit shops last week is available to purchase with Waterstones.

After it attracted a great reception upon release, we are now able to provide you with an opportunity to read a section of the chapter entitled ‘Get a Life’. We think many of you will be able to relate to a lot of what you read here…



If you enjoyed what you read and want to see the rest of the book then make sure you get your copy of ‘Wasting Your Wildcard’ now.

Order ‘Wasting Your Wildcard’ with Waterstones HERE.

Australian fans can order through Booktopia.

    One Everton forward player is more than enough until they hit some form. I think the Silva project is more of a longer term one.

    Why isn't there a simple copy, export, paste function on the FPL website so you can post your team here in a suitable format? Showing ITB as well.

    Would be useful when posting:

    RMT
    Transfers
    GW Team
    Current GW Score

    Right guys. I am in a league where if I have a solid season I should get around £50-£100, Is the fantastic scout paid membership give enough detail to make it worthwhile and financially sensible? What do you reckon?

    Hi, I know there’s not been a lot of talk about draft leagues this pre season but I quite enjoyed it last time so I’ve set one up. It would be cool to get a league of people together that take it seriously!
    If anyone fancies joining the code is 207948-51831. There’s 3 spaces left to make a league of 10 and the draft is in just over an hour at 15.30.
    Come on guys!

    A)Mitro
    or
    B)Zaha

    Been on Zaha for a long time, but starting to warm up to Mitrovic, a true CF and not potentially on the move for 0.5 cheaper.
