Want to work with Fantasy Football Scout? Get in touch…

As another frantic Fantasy season draws to a close, our eyes are already looking beyond the cup finals and towards the prospect of doing it all again in the 2019/20 season.

And like every club management team, we’re planning ways we can bolster Fantasy Football Scout’s squad for the coming season.

Last year we put out a general scouting call for general Fantasy Football “talent” and we were overwhelmed by the response, leading to a host of new faces joining both in the first team squad as well as supporting capacity (including the incredibly Premier League panel).

So now we’re going to do it all again!

We do have a few specific areas we’re looking to strengthen – so skills in video/YouTube presenting/production, podcasting and social media management are definitely of interest.

However, ultimately it’s passion and ability we’re after, so if you can write Fantasy Football articles, have experience in a Fantasy Fantasy Football community or even any community then we’d love to hear from you.

The specifics of the roles will vary and depend on the people we see, there could be one or two full-time gigs and likely some part-time contracts involved, so, ideally, you’d perhaps be someone looking for freelance work on a fixed long or short-term basis.

But even if you’ve just fancied writing an article a week and have an idea to sell us, then please get in touch.

We do work remotely but, ideally, we’d like to work together in person on occasion – so if you are based in/around London (or able to work there some days), that is an advantage and something you should indicate when showing interest.  

Finally. based on last year’s flood of talent I need to stress we may take a little time to look through and respond and might not be able to get back to everyone. But if that doesn’t put you off and you want to get involved please drop us a line at jobs@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk

If you can, please include samples of your work – albeit a link to an article, website, Twitter channel or YouTube channel. CV’s are good too but not essential.

    Pogba(C) and Rash killed me today. Terrible season.

      Salah (C) & a double-Man City CS loss here. Top 10k went bye-bye.

      1. Woy_is_back

        9900 OR for me. I dont know why I did not captain Mane 🙁

          That's a terrible season?

            9900 was the number he picked out of thin air.

            Yes

          I I just looked at your post history:

          1) You claim to want to be incognito

          2) Yet you feel the need to tell all and sundry that you got a 9900 OR - and you feel it is a terrible season - as you are better than that and it is easy to get into the top 20k

          3) If you want to be incognito why bother telling anyone your OR at all? Because if they trawl through the list they can find you!

      Plum fixture though. Could have paid off handsomely. At least you still ended up with a great rank

    3. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years

      I had a last minute change of heart on Pogba. Phew!

    4. pjomara
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Quite a few midfielders were a let down over gw37 and gw38 - son, Pogba, Jota, JWP, sterling, Bilva,

      How did the FH go Deulo?

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Anticlimax. 😀

          You can't win if you don't buy a ticket 😉 Fair play for trying something different

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Whole end to the season was an anticlimax as I started taking my attention away from FPL. Did it end well for you?

            1. Rotation's Alter Ego
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              See once you acknowledge that there's life outside of FPL, performance starts to dip 😉

              Doubles and blanks were brilliant for me and had my team set up pretty much ideally for 37, even though my 38 team was pretty poorly optimised.

              Naturally 37 was a complete dud, whilst 38 went far better than expected 😆

              633 OR. Very happy 🙂

    Welp. United were gash this season but at least I'm having a pint out of my ML trophy. It's the little things.

  4. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Have a personal rule to captain a defender at least once every season, left it late but TAA C payed off nicely.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

  5. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    I did it guys.

    Was at 1602 OR before kickoff today. Didn't realistically think I'd make top 1k.

    86pts today and finished season at 780 OR.

    Absolutely delighted.

    1. Saxe-Gotha
      • 9 Years

      Very nice. Congrats.

    5. Up the tics
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Well done, was around the same rank at the start of the GW but i went the opposite way. 2,383rd. Not bad but 5 consecutive red arrows in the last 5 weeks killed me. Always next season

    6. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

    How we all feeling chaps?

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years

      Like I don’t know what to plan!

    2. Super Nashwan
      • 6 Years

      Really enjoyed this season. Watched lots of the videos sxoutcast etc and got a lot out of them. Wish I'd done better in the cups tho

    3. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Disappointed to end on a red arrow and losing country league (both due to taking an unnecessary hit for Haz to Salah, meaning I didn't captain Mane). BUT can't be too upset with 4500 OR

    4. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Disappointed at OR, delighted at pulling it out of the bag in my cash MLs.

      Happy days ! 6.5k best ever in 13 sad years.
      Thanks to yourself Bhuna and everyone on here
      it's been emotional!

  8. LǝgleSs e|even

    Will Utd be stuck with Pogba since now Raiola has a been officially banned by Fifa for 3 mths?

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Nah, Pogba can just get another agent, probably one of Raiola's relatives.

  9. Numb
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Just scraped my top 10k target, finished 9,864 in a largely frustrating season (topped off this week by changing my mind from Redmond to Pogba late on!)

    8th top 10k finish in 10 years so happy with that. 🙂

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      That’s an awesome record mate. I’m still a way off that! Despite how much time I spend on here and Twitter!

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years

        Thanks!

  11. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    64 points for a 21k finish @ 2,351. Last year 2,278 for a 25k finish.

    Going into chip season GW30/31/32 I was at 35k for three weeks so I guess I should be happy but switching off Aguero(c) probably cost me top 20k. Hey ho.

    My eighth career top 30k 🙂

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Well done 🙂

      1. Don Kloppeone

      1. ㅤRising
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        2396, pretty happy but obv need to lower unnecessary transfers

      Congratulations to Gavin Tarrant https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/entry/47755/history who won my Home Stretch league (scoring started from gw30)

      He went FH32, WC34, BB35, TC36 going from 32k to 1200 OR.

      His 2 best GW's were 33 and 35.

      Unlucky to Ahmed Ashraf https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/entry/12298/history in 2nd who went with a very similar chip strategy but TC'd in 37 rather than 36. His 2 best weeks were also 33 and 35.

      In 3rd was Prasan Singhal https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/entry/35950/history who also used the same chip strategy and his best week was also BB35.

      Over 300 people entered https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/leagues/standings/1367597/classic (league not updated at time of writing but top 3 easy to work out). So FH 32, WC34, BB35, TC36/37 was the winning strategy in the end, at least for the top 3 in the Home Stretch league. They all nailed BB35 in particular. Thanks for those who entered. Enjoy the break.

      this season: 2230 points, 180k OR

      small(ish) difference in points, but big difference in rank 🙁

        Crikey.

        Didn’t know this season was so much higher scoring ?! Must be the defenders

        Scored more points this season for a worse rank.

      37k OR this season after 83k last season (my first FPL season). Should be happy with the improvement, but a few transfers late in the season destroyed what would have been an even better OR, and my chances in a cash league.

      I don't know which approach I want to take for next season, but looking at this season, taking more hits would have paid off. Will probably do a little bit more research up towards and during next season.

        They key: Timing

        1. TAT
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Timing as in "timing the transfers" you mean?

          1. ㅤRising
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Not just transfer, everything, when to do something when not, Timing is the key to everything

            1. TAT
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              That's true of course.

              Where I got things wrong this season re. transfers, was the fact that I was too patient. Last season was the other way around, and aiming for something in between is probably the way to go.

      TAA has been nothing short of phenomenal the last 5 weeks. Laporte also fantastic.

        That last 5 weeks might make him the same price as Robbo unfortunately

            I went for Alonso this year at 7 so yeah why not.

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              True. Don’t tell anyone I have thought about next year’s team yet but by looking at the scores from mids and defenders it looks like 451 with some cheap strikers is the way to go

      Highest points total ever for me, but only 13k and ruing run in decisions. Stupid I guess as there are probably frustrations wherever you finish.

    • andrewe63

      Appears that bast majority of overall top 20 not based in Britain.

      Where are we going wrong?

            Too much of something going on that's for sure.

            i wonder if it is hereditary.

            Can we get 2 of the HOF top 10 to mate?

            Anyone know the highest placed female?

      Thanks to those who have helped this season.

      Got to be happy with 3.3k following 2.5k last year - just a bit gutted I decided to get Fraser in instead of TAA today but can't have it all.

      Have s great summer.

      Anyone had a duller season than this?

      28k after week 1.

      Never higher than 75k and never lower than 9.9k

      Finished 20k.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        33k after gw1. Never lower than 96k, but never really pushed on towards the top.

        The first 2 gws seemed really important this year.

      2. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Solid, I started great (top 14k) and slid to 64k in end. Made a bags of it. Was ahead of eventual winner after 4 gws and finished nearly 400 points behind him.
