How Scout Membership can help Fantasy managers in 2019/20

Full-season Fantasy Football Scout subscriptions are still available for £17.50 – that’s the equivalent of less than 39p a week.

Over the years we have added to the benefits that our Members enjoy and we will be re-investing back into the site to enhance it further in 2019/20.

The most recent addition was the new Flat-Track Bully tool, which allows Members to conduct research in greater detail.

Using this new feature (pictured below) you can exclude/include certain teams (i.e. the ‘big six’) when scrolling through the various tabs in our Player Stats section.

This will help you identify players who perhaps perform better against weaker opposition and even those who thrive against the top teams like Raúl Jiménez did in 2018/19.

We also recently put a call out for web developers and we have a number of other site improvements in the pipeline that will hopefully help our subscribers even more.

If you’re new to the benefits of Fantasy Football Scout membership, you can get full details, along with a series of movies previewing the content, via this page.

In 2018/19 we published more Members’ articles than ever before and there will be at least 150 such pieces in the 2019/20 campaign.

We also introduced Members-only comments and Hot Topics to allow for detailed discussions of content behind the pay-wall.

Our Projections and Rate My Team tools (below) have both been tweaked, with RMT’s Professor – aka Chris Atkinson – elaborating on the changes in a recent Hot Topic.

Reigning Fantasy Premier League champion Adam Levy is a paid-up Member of our site and he discussed what tools of ours he finds most useful in a recent interview.

In previous seasons we’ve helped FPL winners Tom Fenley and Simon March, while in 2015/16 we were thrilled to see Ed Masters – the winner of that year’s Members’ League – finish third in the overall rankings.

In 2017/18, Paul Gee went one better. He won our Members’ League and finished second, losing out to champion Yusuf Sheikh by just eight points.

We are hugely grateful to those who show their support by signing up as a Member each season. This continues to enable us to maintain the site, grow the Fantasy Football Scout team and develop more ideas.

Here are just some of the features you can enjoy as a subscriber:

Head-to-Head Comparisons

Compare both teams and players head to head.

Match Analysis

Analysis of every Premier League match (going back to 2011/12!), together with charts which plot average positions and our collection of heatmaps for touches, shots, chances created among other statistics.

Custom Stats Tables

Members can also create custom tables based on the data and share them with other subscribers (an example from last season is shown above).

Perhaps the most famous of these is Joe’s Goals Imminent table, which looks to predict which underperforming assets will find the net next.

Customisable Season Ticker

Sort by fixture difficulty and find out which teams’ matches rotate well using our customisable Season Ticker.


Be sure to check out all the other benefits of signing up as a member here. A full FAQ on our Members’ Area is also available here.

    Wilson or Vardy for the first gameweek?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Wilson short term
      Vardy long term

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

      GW1+2 = Wilson

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Wilson.

  2. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    I have 0.5 itb.
    Should I upgrade my 4.5 Ryan to a 5.0?
    Or should I upgrade me 4.0 Button to a 4.5 and rotate them.

    Who are the best ones?
    Thanks lads

      Rotating keepers doesn't give any extra benefit.

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        But headaches!

    Alison (Button)
    Robb- Digne- Zinchenko- Alderweireld (Taylor)
    Salah- B. Silva- Sigurdsson- Zaha (Norwood)
    Rashford- Wilson (4.5)

    ?

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

      Not fan of B Silva in fpl
      Downgrade him to a Leicester midfielder and spend elsewhere.

      But nice balanced team in general

      1. Bobby_Styles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Any particular reason?

        1. Peter Ouch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          As we already said multiple times, he is always assisting the assister

  4. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone know who will be Bournemouth's favoured LB?

    Is it between Lloyd Kelly (4.5) & Diego Rico (4.0)?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      don't think even Eddie knows yet

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Okay thanks. Rico might be worth a bench place...

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          if he looks like starting I'll probably bench boost him

        2. Andy Mac
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          I’m on Rico

  5. StoichkovFPL

    Hey guys! Gotta question. Which duo would you rather have :

    A) King + KDB
    B) Wilson + Siggy/Fraser

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      B with Siggy

    2. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      B with Fraser.

    3. - Z -
      • 4 Years

      B with Siggy

    4. Baps hunter

      BS

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Ou... sh.te. I was trying to be funny, but noticed afterwards "B"aps "S"niffer.

      cheers all

    6. jayzico
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      B with Fraser for first 2

  6. LangerznMash
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Spurs should have had a pen, Lucas got wiped out from behind.

  7. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Btw Spurs subs:

    Son, Parrott, Alli, Alderweireld, Tanganga âž¡ Kane, Moura, Cissoko, Vertonghen, Foyth

    .
    Winks just played a fantastic ball that bypassed half the Juve team. Moura was fed through on goal and fouled. No penalty given for some reason.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Moura looking dangerous.

      1. - Z -
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        No..he does not

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Through on goal, should have gotten a pen, nice shot form the edge of the box that went close.

          Kane also going close twice. I'm going to hate watching Spurs without Kane this season...

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            There’s loads of players we can’t have this season, so Im learning to deal with it.

  8. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Higuain goal. Made it look easy.

    1-1

  9. Oooof
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Anywhere I can get a list of who is on penalties, free kicks and corners for team?

    1. Oooof
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      *each team

      1. Oooof
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Ah, thanks mate!

      1. Oooof

  10. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    A. Vardy & siggy
    B. Kane & Brooks (King upfront also)
    C. Kane & Perez/Tielemans

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      A seems safest based on the end of last year

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

      C Perez

  11. Piggs Boson

    Ronaldo goal

    2-1

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Ronaldo off.

      De Ligt now on.

    Who are your go to Spurs Defenders for the start of the season

    Any ideas would be welcomed

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

      Not confident in any

    2. - Z -
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I would like Aurier..but he is not nailed....so i have Toby

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Vert

    4. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Davies, assuming Rose leaves

    5. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Was set on Vert for a while but will start the season with Aurier now. Great value if he is preferred to to Walker Peters.

    6. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      If you know, please inform Pochettino first.

  13. Annie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Lucas goal

  14. The Darkest Knight
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    best 4.5 defenders available???

    1. - Z -
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      A. Smith and Taylor

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Could end up being Holding

  15. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Moura goal

    2-2

    NDombele with a fantastic assist.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Tempted to go Moura over Fraser from the start. Tough call. Not a fan of short-term moves but Moura might be worth it. Could score a couple against Villa...

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I'll definitely have both - word of warning, I did the same last year and removed Moura just before his brace against United when people (including me) thought there was a chance he might not play...disaster

      2. BoomXhakaLaca1
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Easy switch for the next week anyway, could be a great decision

      3. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Why not both? 🙂

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Switch to Ozil for GW2 😉

  16. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Any ManU players first few weeks or start without?

    1. BoomXhakaLaca1
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      AWB should be a bonus point magnet, Rashford if you trust him, Pogba maybe

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      You'll get slated here for suggesting that, but I'm seriously considering Rashford. I'm not convinced he's worth the 0.5m over Wilson from the start, but it's an option.

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Pogba will be in my team

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I'm currently on Pogba and Rashford, although I'm dithering over Rashford or Vardy. I have had a draft with all 3 though.

    4. Lebowski85
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I really want them. I might do.

      They just looked so poor at the end of last year.

      I think Sanchez could become essential. If he scores in GW1....he will become THE bandwagon

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Waiting for GW3, but they are good options. Especially Pogba, and Martial could be gold

  17. Oooof
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Penalty takers have always been a key thing in Fantasy Football.

    Anyone think with the introduction of VAR it’ll be even more vital to be on them this year?

    1. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      maybe for a week or two until it calms down

    2. UnluckyXI
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Think someone posted the other leagues that have introduced them and didn't make a big change. Think it was something live 5-10 more across the whole league, some leagues even went down.

      The fa have also said they are going to use it pragmatically and that a lot of the pens we saw in the women's world cup wouldn't have stood such as the ball to hand ones.

      1. Oooof
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        That’s interesting

    3. Lebowski85
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I have a feeling it'll maybe affect the conversion rate of them. I have zero stats to back that up apart from feeling that Ive seen more get missed since it's been introduced. I'd be keen to look at the stats though

      Maybe the delay adds to pressure or something.

  18. BoomXhakaLaca1
    • 11 Years

    2 nice games of GAA on today for anyone Irish on here

    1. IRBOX âš½
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Should be watching Shane Lowry at The Open

      1. BoomXhakaLaca1
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Ah no interest in the golf here haha

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

    Spurs don't need Eriksen, they should cash in on him and use the funds to strengthen defence.

    Kane
    Son Alli Lucas

    Great front 4, has a bit of everything.

    1. Cube
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Are you really sure of that?

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

        Yes

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I’d love to see Alli getting pushed waaaayyy further up the pitch, like the good old days when he would score 20 goals at 19

  20. Srv210
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Is ndombele an option?

    1. MGMT
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      No fpl material. Usually assists the assister

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Yes IMO

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      No, but he might facilitate others, especially the defence once we know who they are.

  21. MGMT
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    How likely to start are these guys? I will take anything above 60%

    Kelly
    Gibson
    Rico
    Lundstram
    Simpson
    Reid

    1. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      80%
      95%
      60%
      90%
      30%
      50%

      1. MGMT
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Surprised with Gibson’s 95%

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

          He’ll play if Tarkowski is sold.

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

      Don’t go near Reid, Unless two of Ogbonna, Diop and Balbuena are unavailable he’ll never play.

  22. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    I see.loads of teams have 4 at the back with premium/mid premium defenders. Is there just not decent 4.5 rotation this season ?

    1. IRBOX âš½
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Brighton/Watford
      Villa/Burnley

      Neither give much confidence

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Kiko and Dunk is potentially decent enough

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I have Ryan in goals so will try to avoid dunk. Otherwise yes could work

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I like O'Connell and Burnley/Palacr/Targett for the first 6 or so weeks. Not the perfect rotation ie home/away but I like the fixtures and OConnells goal threat

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks

    4. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Many of us see such good value in premium defenders that we're getting 4 or even 5 of them. I don't see any worthwhile cheap rotations myself.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers

    5. no_nay_never
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      a 4th premium defender can be sacrificed, should a must-have bandwagon Mid or Str materialise first weekend @ 6.0 - 7.0m

  23. Hot Fuzz
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    What you guys thinking about brewster? Is he getting any minutes in pl after scoring a bucket loads in Liverpools 3 friendlies not fpl speaking, just as a youngster klopp seems to like him..

    1. Oooof
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      He’ll get minutes in the league for sure from the bench and will start in the domestic cup games.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      He will get plenty of minutes throughout the season with an odd start here and there

      I expect him score a handful of goals, absolute huge talent

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      He won't dislodge Origi as first backup.

  24. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Is this defence too weak for a 4-4-2??

    Pope
    VVD - AWB - Coleman - Zinch
    Salah - Sterling - Siggy - Fraser
    Vardy - King

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Not at all. Good starting lineup.

  25. *sigh*
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Lucas looking sharp

  26. - Z -
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Formation 5-4-1 or 5-3-2!
    Thoughts about 5 back in thos season?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I don't like 5 at the back. Just doesn't give enough flexibility imo. Plus hauls from.defenderd are more hard to come by .

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Yes indeed - premium defenders are great value this season.

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years

      could end up being wrong but there are some pretty decent looking forwards this year - most 5 at the back teams you see on here probably won't be 5 at the back for long imo

      I’m loving 5ATB for the first time in 11 seasons

      With Mendy’s injury you can now have Ederson, TAA, Robbo, Digne, Coleman, Zinchenko, Salah, Sterling, Vardy, and still have 12.0 left for two attackers

      It’s more like a 0-5-5 formation with those attacking fullbacks

      Several opportunities to tweak it as well - 4.5 GK instead of Ederson, VVD instead of the 7.0’s etc. etc.

      Gueye staying is absolutely key though

      1. Andy_Social

        With 3x4.5 midfielders? I wouldn't go there.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          No need for 3x 4.5 mids - you could go 6.5 forward 5.5 mid for example

          But I don’t want one penny above the absolute minimum € on my bench until first WC - plenty of time for bench building when the bargains emerge

          I prefer to have the dollars on the pitch those first few GW’s

    1. Pope or Ryan
    2. Pick 2 from King/Jota/Deulofeu

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      1. Pope for me.
      2. Start with Jota and King, poss drop King for Deulofeu after jammy fixtures.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Pope
      King & Jota

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years

      2 is a hard one, think Jota is the better pick but like the opening fixtures better for the other two (no Europa also)

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Jota finished the season strongly and looks sharp from what I've seen so far. I'm not sure about King. Can see Solanke and Mousset stealing minutes from him.

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          King not getting a game so far puts me off a bit too.

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            oh yeah forgot about that (Mousset has gone by the way), I have no doubt that Jota is the best pick of the 3 just not so sure about straight away but maybe the fixtures aren't as bad as they look at first glance

        2. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Mousset has left the club

          1. The Royal Robin
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            Oh yeah of course.

            On a sidenote, Pukki tempts me despite Norwich's dreadful fixtures.

            1. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 9 months ago

              If ever there was a season to play the fixtures it's this one. So many good options everywhere, all about hitting the good patches of games.

    Anyone taking any interest in Bouremouth’s Defenders?

    Just beware that the big “70” in the goals against column for last season is downright scary

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Bournemouth don't do defending.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Hell no!

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Not at all. I was just looking for 4.0m playing defender.

    Might be need to actually consider Kane at some point... 😕

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      Nailed up front in my.team. I'm surprised I don't see him in more squads.actually

    2. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Eventually we all will.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        No, can't afford him without tearing up what is otherwise a good team.

        What do these numbers even mean, I've seen u post them a few times?

        1. Piggs Boson

          Fixture difficulty. Positive good, negative bad.
