Awards

FFScout nominated for Online Media of the Year at FSA Awards 2019

We are delighted to announce that Fantasy Football Scout has been nominated ‘Online Media of the Year’ by the Football Supporters’ Association.

Our site has been shortlisted as one of six candidates in the category and we have been named alongside some big names in the footballing industry.

Scout will go up against The Athletic, FourFourTwo.com, Football365.com, Price of Football and Guardian cartoon columnist David Squires.

Our category will be decided by a public ballot, so if you would like to see us crowned the winners then you can VOTE FOR US HERE.

There are a number of categories in the FSA Awards for 2019 including Men’s Player of the Year, which will see Sadio Mané (£12.0m), Virgil van Dijk (£6.4m), Raheem Sterling (£12.1m), Son Heung-min (£9.6m) and Jamie Vardy (£9.5m) go head-to-head for the prize.

Members of the mainstream media are also being honoured by the FSA as the likes of Martin Tyler, Peter Drury, Guy Mowbray and Conor McNamara compete for Commentator of the Year while Sky Sports pair Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher are among the nominees for Pundit of the Year.

To be shortlisted for an award alongside so many other massive figures and organisations in the football industry is such an honour for all of us here at Scout and we want to pass on our thanks to everyone who has helped us maintain our position as the number one resource for Fantasy Football.

The site has undergone a period of transition in recent times, but we have remained committed to providing a variety of high-quality content, on a number of different platforms, both for our Members and those in the wider Fantasy Football community.

Personally, I would like to thank the fantastic team we have at Scout for their hard work. It is so great to see Chris, Neale, Geoff, Paul and our army of contributors and moderators, as well as technical and commercial staff behind the scenes, have their efforts recognised at a national level.

Thanks are also due to this site’s founder Mark Sutherns, who created the beast and went on to tame it before bestowing the privilege of running it upon a new team.

We also want to say a heartfelt thank you to all our readers and Members for your ongoing support and interest in the site.

We would never be where we are today without you all and we are continually grateful for the time you spend using our product and consuming our content.

Good luck to all of you for the latest round of Fantasy Premier League action and may your arrows be green!

Nominated for ‘Best in Fantasy Football – Editorial’ at the Football Content Awards 2020

    Is Alonso injured?

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Nah dropped

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

      Dont think he was ever in Lampard's long term plans.

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      But he hasn't even made the bench.

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

      He still can't defend

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah he isn't great, but hasn't even made the squad.

          We tend to only take 1 full back to games like this. Azpi will always be preferred over Alonso, especially as he can play both sides

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Oh ok, not that Alonso was ever in my plans.

    5. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      Must be

  2. Bruce Lee
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    A lot of us have Vardy cappo

    We are all mavericks

  3. drughi

    Feels so wrong cheering for a blank from a player you own

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      who?

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Abraham?

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        yes

    3. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Is it Abraham? Cuz same

    4. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Is this Abraham you're referring to? And if so is it because of the high % of captainers this week? If you're that worried about it why wouldn't you just captain him yourself?

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Didnt know he would be so high % captain and all my rivals have him C

      2. FPL.team

        How can you know in advance?

    5. S.Kuqi

      Same here.

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

      Oh damn I had no idea he had over 100% EO lol. Well this is going to be a fun watch as an only Abraham owner. Come On Your Pants!

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

        Most captained player in the game this week. Now I'm worried.

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

      Also a Chelsea fan + Vardy captainer.... hoping for a cheeky 2-1, Mount brace as I also don't own any Chelsea defenders

  4. S.Kuqi

    Does Mark still run this site or what? Haven't posted in ages here, no appearences in scoutcast or posts on twitter.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Nope. He resigned as a director too

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Who is now?

      2. Hybrid.power

        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        No matter where it is, new job, new forum, you always pine for the early days as it always provides you with the best memories. I miss the days when this site was a lot quieter, when Mark would post his preamble before every deadline. This were the days!

          He made everything on here infinitely better 🙁

            • 10 Years

            Must have been horrific for you when he left

          Came here late. Glad I didn't miss preambles. They were great. Enjoyed them very much.

          1. Hybrid.power
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            They showed the human side to this game, that we're all just regular people going about our daily lives trying to squeeze in an hour or two of fpl tinkering every week while juggling responsibilities

      3. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Is this true?

        Why is he in the mods and cons league then?

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Yes it's true. He resigned a long time ago. He's certainly entitled to a place in that league as the founder of the site

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

            R. A. E. has just said he is active behind the scenes.

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

                Holy crap! 😯

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

      Stepped away a fair bit, but promise you he's still involved behind the scenes though.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Isn't it fair to say his role is more 'advisory' now?

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

          People seem to think they know way more than they do with Mark 🙂

          I don't want to go too much into it (mainly because I have no idea what's public and what's not and I'm too scared to ask) but he helps me frequently with RMT etc.

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

            He's always been a bit of a lurker on here 😉

            • 14 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Are you saying he is a decision maker at FPL now ;-). Unfair advantage if so...

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

        Why do mods keep saying this. Its blatantly not true..

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

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years

      Probably embarrassed to come on with all the obsessive slurps he receives from the fan boys on here

    7. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      To enable Vardy and Mount, sell who?

      A) Salah
      B) Sterling

      Have Mane and KdB also.

      Thanks

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

        No point speculating now. Wait until they have played and until the international break is over.

        Having Salah AND Mane from gameweek 13 onwards looks to be very clever.

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Cheers pal, typical thing being selling Sterling to enable would enable exactly 0ITB so may need to move early.

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

            I'm not selling Sterling. He will probably be the top points scorer come May. And Man City don't really have difficulty fixtures. A season ticker is irrelevant for them.

            1. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Quite possibly, hmm

            2. No Professionals

              The chelsea fixture looks nice for city

      Andy said on his stream not to sell Pukki for Watford at home. 😳

        Such a Pro

        1. FPL Virgin

        An improvement to sitting on the fence tbh 😛

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Fair point. You have to respect anyone who has a firm opinion TBF.

      3. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Tbh one thing I've always struggled with was knowing when a players form has dropped off a cliff. The head was convincing me to hang on to Pukki for the easy fixtures, but the heart said to drop. I did drop him this week but kept him way too long

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

          Ditto. He's the real deal but just not getting the service.

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

            No he isnt. His life time stats suggest he just had a random streak of good luck at the start of the season where all his attempts came off.

            1. FPL Virgin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years

              Your opinion about footballing matters is often poor.

                Not as poor as anyone who thought Pukki was the real deal

              • 7 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah you’re wrong here. Pukki is a great striker. His runs into space, his positional awareness and finishing are all quality. Norwich lack the creativity to see him flourish, exactly as others including myself have previously eluded to

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

                Did you watch the game yesterday?...

                1. IRBOX ⚽
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 4 months ago

                  Of course, did you?

              2. S.Kuqi
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 4 months ago

                Well said. Pukki is clearly pl level striker but doesn't get any service from his team.

              3. No Professionals
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 4 months ago

                Great striker is really pushing it

      4. JustPark
        • 8 Years

        Imagine how he handles breakups.

        David nailed it... mentioned Watford’s defensive stat improvement over last few gameweeks

            Nice

            Did they bring him in though? No one cares what people say if they dont act on it. Thats why Im the greatest with my Deulofeu punt

      As Kelly isn't playing anymore I guess I can downgrade him.

      What do you think about Sterling + Kelly -> Salah + Reid (-4)?

      After that my team would be:

      Pope
      TAA - Rico - Lundstram
      Salah - Mane - KDB - Mount
      Vardy - Abraham - Jota

      Button - Willems - Dendoncker - Reid

      Absolutely love that Chelsea line up, means they will disappoint for sure

      Congrats to all the team at FFS! 🙂

      I will endeavour to garner all votes as possible in my limited circle of reprobates. Well Done!

      Imagine to pay membership fee but all the same info is found on twitter aswell for free 😐

        The comparison tool on its own is worth the membership fee.

          Member here and still no idea how to use the data provided.

      All the tut tutting at Mount sellers. How tiresome. Transfers are part of the game. Everyones team is different.

    14. Regin

      who all sold or benched mount? is started him & want his sellers & benchers to be punished.

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

        Kept and started. Sold him 4 weeks ago and had to get him back.

      2. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Agree completely.

      3. All For One
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Benched him for Cantwell....

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Benching him for someone who was never going to start themselves was brave

    15. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      With so many captain fails this seaaon I just know that Tammy wil fail and I have already prepared myself to be disapointed.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Terrible decision to leave William out of the poll.
        This game screams a haul from him.

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Never heard of him

    16. Party time
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Let's start today with a tammy blank please

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

          Ouch

      • S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Still have Otamendi. Is Robbo better option than Mendy?

        Not sure if I'll double Liverpool defence

        1. Regin
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          absolutely robbo

      • The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Triple up for GW13. Who would you have?

        A) 2 attackets
        B) 2 defenders

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

          Trent, Mo, Sadio

      • Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Thought Pukki & Norwich were the real deal this season. The whole team have perished since their fortuitous height of beating Manchester City. Such a shame for a team who were scoring for fun last season in the Championship.

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          They got ruined by injuries, if the team was fully fit they'd be having a much better time.

      • Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Can we ban people hoping people that sold a player get punished for the sale of that player?

        As a mount seller I'm triggered

        1. IRBOX ⚽

          Should be enforced. It’s more toxic than people saying lol @ a certain player. Sadly people will always wish others do badly and promote their own players in a different light in RMT’s etc.

          1. No Professionals
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Are you being serious?

          2. Fudgy
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Exactly, needs to be consistency if they are going to censor lol @ posts

            1. No Professionals
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Wow people are fragile aren't they.

              Someone just said they hope a player I sold does well!!!! (Cries and runs to mummy).

              1. IRBOX ⚽
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 4 months ago

                You’re missing the point. Consistency across the board is the issue

                1. No Professionals
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 4 months ago

                  Seriously, who cares.

                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 4 months ago

                    Obviously you to be banging on about it.. just watch the match

                    1. No Professionals
                      • 6 Years
                      4 years, 4 months ago

                      Just think its pathetic to describe posts like that as toxic.

          Oh cmon its just banter... Don't be so sensitive about it. It's just another way of saying one hopes that one of his currently owned player do good... Many Mount owners lost TV / SV hence the "punish sellers" comment.

          Would you find it over the edge if a person said that he is hoping a majority captained player he dont own blanks as well?

      • Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years

        Mount plays. Can I get my 0.1 back?

      • Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Not going to lie... I've barely touched the draft this season...
        Would anyone else like to see the return of Ultimate Fantasy Premier League? I miss that game so much!

          I have taken the decision to turn my back on draft as i just found it to be too much of a distraction from the real game.

          Between organizing a mini league and showing your rivals what gems you might be interested in in the draft format it was just too much for me anyway.

          I set up a team for the Sky game and have not looked at that since gw1 either even though i promise myself before every season that i will try and give it a proper go.
