Register now with FanTeam to win money playing Fantasy football

Fantasy Football Scout are delighted to be joining forces with FanTeam in 2019/20.

Gameweek 1 is just a day away and Fantasy managers are encouraged to sign up today to give themselves the best chance of being in the prize shake-up come the end of the season.

Unlike in Fantasy Premier League, the deadline for each Gameweek is ten seconds before the very first match kicks off – giving Fantasy managers the advantage of being able to see the teamsheets released for that opening fixture.

For those who hate the lull of the hour between FPL deadline and kick-off, Fantasy managers can get hands-on with their FanTeam squads while FPL is updating.

The beauty of FanTeam is that the rules, scoring and prices are very similar to FPL, so skills – and indeed squads – are easily transferable.

There is more on the rules in the article below.

Prizes

There’s a staggering €250,000 in prizes on offer with FanTeam this season, with €50,000, €25,000 and €12,000 going to the Fantasy managers who finish first, second and third respectively.

It’s not just those with a podium finish who are rewarded.

A top-20 finish guarantees a four-figure sum, while FanTeam even pays out if you are among the first 1,250 managers in the world.

FanTeam is also offering additional weekly and monthly prizes to sweeten the deal.

The full prize breakdown is as follows:

Scoring

Seasoned FPL managers should have no problem in adjusting to FanTeam and running a squad with its familiar scoring system.

The main differences are the absence of a Bonus Points System, which is replaced by plus/minus points if a team is winning/losing during the period a player is on the pitch.

Goalkeepers also get 0.5 points for every save made, unlike the one point awarded in FPL for increments of three stops.

Committing a foul that leads to a free-kick goal is also penalised by minus two points.

The full scoring breakdown is as follows:

Five Players to Consider in Gameweek 1

Mohamed Salah

FanTeam price: £12.5m
FanTeam 2018/19 score: 288 points
GW1 Fixture: Norwich City (h)

Salah is famously not well rewarded on the FPL Bonus Points System but the absence of that in FanTeam arguably makes him an even more attractive option.

The Egyptian was the leading points-scorer in FanTeam last season, finishing 29 points clear of Sadio Mane (£11.5m).

Salah racked up more penalty box touches, attempts on goal, shots in the box, big chances and efforts on target than any other FanTeam midfielder in 2018/19.

Norwich haven’t kept a single clean sheet in pre-season and leaked 57 goals in the Championship last year.

With Liverpool red-hot favourites for this Gameweek 1 curtain-raiser, Salah will surely collect a bonus point for being on the winning side, too.

Raheem Sterling

FanTeam price: £11.5m
FanTeam 2018/19 score: 255 points
GW1 Fixture: West Ham United (a)

Another ‘stating the obvious pick’ he may be but with Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) and Gabriel Jesus (£8.5m) perhaps not quite fully match-fit after their involvement in the Copa America, and with Leroy Sane (£8.5m) reportedly struggling with a knee problem, Sterling looks the safest route into the City attack this weekend.

The England winger, who has spent time playing as a central striker this summer, has five goals and two assists to his name in pre-season.

West Ham only kept seven clean sheets in 2018/19 (only Fulham and Huddersfield recorded fewer) and City are something a bogey team for the Hammers.

In the past four meetings in east London, City have won 5-0, 4-0, 4-1 and 4-0.

Pep Guardiola’s side also beat West Ham 4-1 in the PL Asia Trophy in July.

Sterling scored a goal and banked two assists in this fixture last season.

Lucas Digne

FanTeam price: £6.0m
FanTeam 2018/19 score: 136 points
GW1 Fixture: Crystal Palace (a)

Only relegated Huddersfield Town scored fewer home goals than Crystal Palace last season and the Eagles may well be without their talisman, Wilfried Zaha (£7.5m), this weekend.

Everton kept eight clean sheets in their final 11 games last season, meanwhile.

Digne offers more than just clean sheet points, of course: no defender created more chances than the Frenchman in 2018/19.

With Everton facing just Manchester City of the ‘big six’ in Gameweeks 1-10, Digne could easily pick up win bonus along with shut-out points and attacking returns.

Lucas Moura

FanTeam price: £7.5m
FanTeam 2018/19 score: 143 points
GW1 Fixture: Aston Villa (h)

Harry Kane (£11.0m) is the obvious choice for Spurs this weekend but for those budgeting, Lucas Moura is a decent alternative.

Listed as a midfielder in FanTeam, Lucas could very well be playing up top alongside Kane against Villa on Saturday.

Even if he is only in an attacking midfield position, the absences of Son Heung-min (£9.5m) and Dele Alli (£8.0m) should ensure a start.

The Brazilian has three goals and one assist to his name in pre-season.

Spurs’ first eight home fixtures are all against sides who were in the bottom half of the table or in the Championship last season.

Jamie Vardy

FanTeam price: £8.5m
FanTeam 2018/19 score: 165 points
GW1 Fixture: Wolves (h)

While many of the FanTeam prices are similar to FPL, there are some notable exceptions.

Vardy, in particular, looks like a steal at £8.5m in FanTeam.

After Brendan Rodgers first took charge of Leicester in Gameweek 29 last season, no striker scored more goals than Vardy (nine).

No forward recorded as many big chances or shots on target in this period, either.

The Foxes take on a Wolves side who were impressive last season but who come into the game off the back of a 6,000-mile round-trip to Armenia on Thursday.

      Isn't laporte a risk for gw1?

        Back in training I believe.

        I’ve heard he’s fit

  2. the vanisher

    need to fill a 5.0 starter spot to finish off my team.
    it could be a def or mid.
    suggestions?

      Camarasa perhaps- just noticed he has been added to game

    3. FPL Diet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Zouma

    4. SoapAFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      KWP and then switch to zouma later on?

      1. yakirh
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Could be good if you can spare a transfer around GW4

    Too many gambles?

      Not too many, but gambles are best kept to attackers. Nobody likes wasting transfers on defenders at the start of the season.

  4. Pieterke30
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    My last hesitations

    TAA or Robbo?
    Barkley or Trossard?
    Lundstram or Rico?
    Greenwood or Wickham?

    Not much in it, is there?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      TAA
      Barkley
      Rico
      Greenwood

    2. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      TAA (but could get rotated/dropped for the odd game early on)
      Barkley
      Lundstram
      Greenwood

    3. the vanisher
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      robbo- less rotation chance
      trossard, nailedness and fixtures
      rico - for first 2 games
      greenwood

    4. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Everything here is 50\50, flip a coin 4 times

  5. Uns95
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Bottomed... final set and go?

    Ryan
    VVD Robertson Digne Rico
    Sterling Salah KDB Perez
    Wilson Murray
    Subs: Button Greenwood Guilbert Dendonker

    Do you think best to keep as is or downgrade Wilson to King and Upgrade Murray to Jimi?

    1. BoomXhakaLaca1
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Good to go

  6. SoapAFC
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts?

    Heaton

    Digne - Robertson - KWP

    Salah - De bruyne - Pepe - Perez - mcginn

    Auba - king

    1. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pepe and Auba, COULD be genius...

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nice but Pepe probably won't start GW1

      1. SoapAFC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah i know he wont im a huge arsenal fan haha and id hate to see him pop off and not have him in my team! Thanks for the feedback lads

  7. Pieterke30
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What are the chances Harry Wilson starts for BOU in GW1? Slim, I suppose?

    1. Agger
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'd probably going with slim as he's just joined, who knows

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah my thinking too bit Im convinced he will do well. If I knew he was going to start Id get him in instead of Fraser and bank 1.5

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      he is match fit so there's a chance

    3. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Unlikely I think.

    4. the vanisher
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      if Ibe leaves today, then straight in. otherwise i expect him to play for 30 mins first gw

  8. Agger
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who's a 4.5 starter in midfield for Norwich or Villa? Just want them as my 5th mid, really don't fancy the super highly owned ones like Dendoncker. Thanks

    1. Root
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Dendoncker should've been 5.5m.

      1. ㅤRising
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nah

      2. Meinhoff
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Why? Cause he scores so many points?

      3. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I went off him when I thought that wolves were signing lemina.. If they don't sign anybody he goes straight back in!

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Though he could've been 5 million maybe. Decent underlying stats

    2. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Leitner played most games last season but then got injured and lost his place. But has played a lot of preseason and looked good.

      Rotates well with Adams at Soton as well.

    3. St. Joseph
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Hayden maybe better

    4. GoingUpUpUp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      From Norwich....4.5 mids are Trybull, Leitner, Cantewell, Tettey and Amadou.

      Trybull, Tettey and Amadou are all defensive mid. Tettey injured and new lad only joined yesterday ruled out in press conference. Trybull to start - whether he holds the shirt longer term I don't know.

      More attacking both Leitner and Cantwell have had good pre-seasons with Cantwell standing out. Leitner is the more experienced and likely to get the nod in my opinion of the two - I'm hopeful for Cantwell that this could be his breakout season for us. I should add that both could easily, and likely, be usurped by Stiepermann and McLean who cost a bit more in FPL and certainly ended last season in possession of the jersey

  9. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    KWP @ 5.0 yay or nay?

    1. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yay

  10. fuzzymike
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Sure I missed it somewhere earlier, why the sudden interest in Montoya??

    1. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Right-wingback in an attacking setup under new manager. Put in a lot of crosses when he played last season.

    2. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Possibly playing as a wingback. Better points potential than a CB.

  11. No_Mo_Salah?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Lamela for first game makes sense? I have no spurs cover and I cannot see him not playing with the host of players out. After that I'll be looking at Trossard or Barkley depending on how things go.

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yep

      1. themachine
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        good plan

  12. Tomlette Greggs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What combination would you rather begin the season with:

    A) Lucas Moura + van Dijk
    or
    B) King + Robertson?

    Thoughts appreciated.

    1. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      or
      C) Fraser + van Dijk

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      C

    3. themachine
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tough choice, I like the Moura pick to start the season, so A probably.

  13. Tabbara
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Which option is better
    A:
    Ryan (Button)
    Coleman Robertson Targett Diop Lundstram
    Lucas Moura/Fraser Salah Sterling Perez Trossard
    Wilson Vardy (Greenwood)
    B:
    Pope (Button)
    Zinchenko Coleman Robertson VVD (Lundstram)
    Fraser Sterling Salah Perez (dendoncker)
    Vardy King (Greenwood)

    Thx

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B'easily.

  14. t4thomas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I have probably kept things a bit safe, but this old timer would welcome your feedback:

    Pope | Button
    Alexander-Arnold | Robertson | Digne | Lundstram | Kelly
    Salah | Sterling | Fraser | Pérez | Dendoncker
    Wilson | King | Murray

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Strong if Bournemouth hit the ground running.

      1. t4thomas
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Do you think I should reduce my Bournemouth by at least one asset. And if so, which one?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          King to Wood or Jota

    2. themachine
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Like it, you can switch King to any 6.5 striker on form after 2 GWs

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

    Wolves lineup this afternoon

    Patricio
    Coady Boly Bennett
    Doherty Saiss Dendocker Joao Moutinho Vinagre
    Jimenez Jota

  16. themachine
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Murray nailed to start?

    What would you choose:
    Moura, Murray, Vardy vs. Perez, Auba, Greenwood

    Second option is 3 premiums (have Sterling & Salah)...

  17. Pieterke30
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Has Wesley looked good in preseason? Has he actually... scored? Lol

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, 2 or 3. On pens and got 2/3 assists

    2. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Links up play well with the wide players and the midfield attackers. Good hold-up play when I saw him. And he's 6'4, so could see a few headers going in from him this season.

    3. ㅤRising
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I dont know if I should go for 6m striker Wesley or downgrade somewhere to find 0.5 to get 6.5 striker, its much easier to switch to another 6.5, but if 6.0 fails I cant move up

  18. Attaka
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Does Zaha staying at palace make him more or less attractive in your opinions?

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      More.

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Probably more, but surely he won’t start first couple gws

    3. BoomXhakaLaca1
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He may not be interested

  19. BoomXhakaLaca1
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mooy is definitely one to watch

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

      I think the strong start he had in 17/18 forever stuck in people's minds. Would only consider him if he was 4.5

      1. BoomXhakaLaca1
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ya 4.5 or maybe 5 is all I'd consider him at to be fair

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not sure how I feel as a Jota owner

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Should be more than ready for Leicester, saying that only 60ish mins tonight would be ideal.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          You got him?

        I will soon be a former Jota owner, just need to hit the save button.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Think he has a big season in where he outgrows the club and forces a big European club to go back in for him

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

            YEah,but better wait a few GW's bringing him in

  21. Link
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Jota playing tonight, as well as the rest of the first team is super annoying. Anyone put off?

    1. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I've yet to be attracted to any WOL players at this juncture.

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I don't think so, 68 minutes in the first leg, probably similar tonight. Should be raring to go against Leicester.

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

        Raring to go or knackered after long trip? I like him as a pick, just worried about Wolves small squad and EL commitments. Could be another Burnley... (Although I think they have more quality throughout)

          I don't see a huge issue - 5ish hour flight isn't it? Recovery day tomorrow, light training session on Saturday, all set for Sunday. Just because Burnley couldn't make it work, doesn't mean it can't for Wolves, who are a much, much better team.

            I hope so Johan.

            Got Wilson as my other forward and really don't fancy a Bournemouth double up so will stick with Jota.

      We got lucky to get that for him but he'll likely do very well in Italy!

    Thoughts on soyunju? Currenlty have him. Leicester didn't sign a CB. Should be nailed

        Great gw3 and 4 fixtures

      Not a fan of Leicester's defensive prospects from the start.
