The Fantasy Football Scout team were present at the 2019 Football Supporters’ Association Awards ceremony on Monday night, situated at the Tower of London.
Our website was nominated for Online Media of the Year alongside some industry giants in The Athletic, Football365, FourFourTwo.com and Guardian cartoonist David Squires.
It was the new guys on the block The Athletic who claimed the prize for our category after a hugely successful first season reporting on English football.
They have made waves in the sports journalist world in 2019 amassing a hugely talented squad of A-listers that would make even the Avengers somewhat jealous, so we are not surprised at all that The Athletic emerged victorious in the end.

As we have mentioned before, even to be nominated for such an award is a huge honour, especially when you consider who else was in attendance on Monday night.
Peter Drury beat Martin Tyler to claim Commentator of the Year, Robbie Savage and his 606 team took home the prize for Radio Show of the Year, while Virgil van Dijk was named Men’s Player of the Year.
James Richardson, a familiar FPL Show face, Sky Sports’ Kelly Cates and actor Rupert Graves all took their turn to present various other awards.
Rubbing shoulders with household names within the sports media community truly was an incredible experience for editor David Munday, deputy editor Neale Rigg, community and partnerships manager Geoff Dance and commercial director Chris James who were all in attendance.
David and Neale, in particular, enjoyed an opportunity to swap stories with their BBC Radio 5 Live heroes Conor McNamara and John Murray respectively!
But, of course, we cannot forget that we would not be in a position to get nominated for this sort of award were it not for our loyal and engaged audience.
2019 has continued a period of exciting growth at Fantasy Football Scout with more and more people using our site and a considerable up-take in those of you prepared the support the site with your own hard-earned money.
We are hugely grateful for everything our readers, viewers and listeners give us and for helping us maintain our position as the number one resource for Fantasy Football. We would not be where we are now without you, so we cannot thank you enough.
Good luck to all of you for the latest round of Fantasy Premier League action and may your arrows be green.
