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.

      everyone swarming to bring in Bilva

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Who?

  2. Greek Flair
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    what 2 of the below Liverpool trio would you go for money no object?

    Robbo
    TAA
    VVD

    im wondering whether people are only choosing VVD because they can save 0.5?

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

      VVD and TAA (if you have bench cover)

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

      Robbo + Taa no doubt, that 0.5 save, huge VVD ownership, TAA might miss few games due to rotation/injury like last year..

      1. Greek Flair
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        so are you recommending for or against TAA haha

    3. Canary_Kid
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If they were all the same price, Robbo and Trent

  3. Gazpilicueta
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Reluctant to do a RMT this close to kick off, but I think Im settled. Thoughts anyone?

    Pope
    Trent, VVD, Digne, Rico
    Sterling, Salah(c), KDB, Perez
    Wilson, Jota
    Button, Lundstram, Dendoncker, Greenwood

    I know its quite templatey around here, but Im hoping the KDB pick will be my main differential with hopes to jump on Son/Pepe shortly. bit worried about not having Fraser but I cant have em all!

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

      Solid

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

      Very similar to mine, apart from these changes:
      Digne to Coleman
      Rico to Zinchenko
      Perez to Robinson
      Jota to King

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

        All bad moves, every player on the left is an upgrade.

    3. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rip it up and start again !

      No it’s perfect

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

        lol

    4. Heskey Time
      • 9 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Love it, but is Femenia nailed on? Could be your only playing sub.

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

        Isn't he nailed on?:/

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

    Kane or Auba?

    Thinking of starting with Kane then doing a hokey-cokey for GW2...

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

      Auba for me

  7. 10 things you might have missed but need to know
  8. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is kyle walker-peters worth the hassle? I’m currently on him but i’m not overly convinced.

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'm going for it, will become the 4.5 bandwagon or Zouma if needed.

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

      Yeah was on him but dumped just because of the "hassle"

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

      No hassle, easy to switch to someone else when Aurier is back

  9. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Kind of stuck:

    A) Aubameyang and KDB
    B) Vardy and Sterling

    1. Kante Touch This
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'm on B rn, heart is telling me to go with Vardy

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

      B easy

  10. avfc82
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years

    Whoever's in charge of Brighton's recruitment has, IMO, done a very good job this window. Webster, Maupay, Trossard and now Mooy.

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

      And everyone thought potter would bring them down. They are set to challenge top half now imo

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

    Vardy or Wilson?
    Have Perez too

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

      Vardy for me

    2. FPL-(VAR)dy
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      wilson ..first two fixtures are too good

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

      Just read the post above, will stick with vardy

  12. BlueEddy
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is this a terrible idea?
    Pope - Heaton
    Coleman, Rico, Montoya, Johnson, Lundstram
    Salah Sterling Perez Barkley McGinn
    Kane Aubameyang Greenwood

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

      Yes, didn't you get the memo? value is in defense.

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

        Value is in the wingbacks, if they get assists...one goal against them and they lose 4 points...

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

      Yes.

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

        Thanks guys!! A moment of madness!!
        Currently on this:
        Pope Heaton
        Digne VVD Ake (Lundstram, Rico)
        Salah, Sterling Siggy Perez Moura

    Mane over Salah anyone?

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No. His out.

      1. The Darkest Knight

        out for may be 1st gw only

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Enough to avoid for sure

  15. mattyb09
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is it possible Kyle Walker & Cancelo start together?Zinchenko seems to be the weak link of the defense

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Possible but not likely

  16. FCAP98
    • 5 Years

    GTG?

    Heaton
    VVD | TAA | Digne | Rico
    Salah (C) | Sterling | KDB | Perez

    Bench: Button, Diop, Dendoncker, Wickham

  17. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Diop or balbuena worth a shout as first (only) sub? Anything to pick between them?

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

      Balbuena more goal threat

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

        Brought him in last year for his first goal then he sat on my bench for weeks so I have good memories. Thanks.

    2. JohnBlack
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Fredericks

    3. Totally Hammered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldn't stress about it if they are to be your 1st sub, their (attacking returns) will be few and far between so the chance they come in and its the week they get an attacking return is highly unlikely....Go with the one that you feel will play the majority of games.

  18. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I need a 4,5m defender that will play most matches (rotate with Dendoncker). Best option?

    1. Totally Hammered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Montoya (BRI) is popular around here....Im on Targett (AV)

  19. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Moura Wilson Ings
    B) Kane Robinson 4.5def

    1. manu4life99
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Or
      C) Kane Robinson KWP

  20. FPL-(VAR)dy
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    what do u guys think of
    TAA+Salah+Firmino triple up

    Liverpools first 4 fixtures look better offensively than defensively..could Firmino prove to be a shrewd differential?

  21. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Sessegnon on his way to Spurs, apparently

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Done deal a while ago.

  22. Modest Bob
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    This one is for other serious gamblers or serie A experts only

    Do you think Juventus dominate serie A once again or do you see Inter or Napoli pushing them very close. Thanks in advnce.

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

      Dont have to be a seasoned gambler to predict Juventus winning Serie A

      1. Modest Bob
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Umm ok

        1. Modest Bob
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          :/

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It'll definitely be closer, I'm not sure Sarri will be able to manage the personalities in that squad and keep everyone happy, seemed a strange appointment to me.

      1. Modest Bob
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        This was my thinking also, the new manager coming in changes alot.
        The average punter just sees Juve have won last 8 so think they are a certainty but it doesnt work like that. I think the De Ligt sign is the jey abd this will just edge them the title but it will be very close.
        Thanks for your opinion.

        1. Modest Bob
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          key not jey**

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Sarri has a set philosophy and a system which isn't always easy to implement plus is very stubborn, as we saw at Chelsea. The Juve squad seemed to me that it needed someone like Ancelotti, someone with a talent to manage and massage egos.

  23. tricpic
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    AWB or KWP, that’s the question

    1. William.gallant
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      KWP for me but mainly due to price difference

  24. William.gallant
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts? A or B?

    A) Sterling + McGinn/Robinson
    B) KDB + Siggy/Fraser

    Thanks guys

  25. cescpistols111
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Which is the best combination?

    A. Salah + Trossard + Wood/Jota
    B. Mane + Trossard + Haller
    C. Mane + Lanzini + Abraham
    D. Mane + Martial + Wesley

    1. The Darkest Knight
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      D

    2. Tony Moon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A cos Mane unlikely to play.

  26. The Darkest Knight
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Sorry for reposting...

    A. Ings + Wilson (442)
    or
    B. King + Martial (451)

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

      B just because I don't like Ings

    2. Kante Touch This
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B, I prefer the price points with this option

    Lamela or Tossard? For GW1

    1. The Albatross
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tossard for me. Week 2 also good

  28. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Zouma or Ake?

  29. 1314
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    would you prefer Ings or Robinson as your starting player ?
