Update on FFScout Memberships

In light of the Premier League’s recent announcement, Fantasy Football Scout would like to clarify the situation for our existing members.

The Premier League is now suspended until April 4, which means all Gameweek 30 and 31 fixtures have been postponed.

That, in turn, means there are no more matches of Fantasy relevance in the month of March.

While our Members’ tools remain open to use, and strategy-based articles will continue to be posted behind the paywall, we appreciate that, even as we all look forward to the return of the league, there is no immediate Gameweek to prepare for.

We would encourage you not to cancel your Scout membership as, once you do, you will immediately lose the benefits of access to the Members Area, data, tools and any articles we produce behind the paywall.

Instead, if you signed up for a rolling monthly subscription that has missed (or will in the future miss) a Gameweek due to the Premier League suspension, we are happy to offer a cancellation and partial refund for the relevant period. If so, get in touch with support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.

Naturally, should further postponements occur in the Premier League, beyond April 4, then this policy will continue for that period, so you won’t be paying for Gameweeks that you miss.

What to do if you think you might have coronavirus*

If you think you might have coronavirus or you’ve been in close contact with someone who has it:

  • stay at home and avoid close contact with other people
  • do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital
  • use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do next

The 111 coronavirus service will tell you if you need to continue to stay at home (self-isolate) or if you need medical help.

      If i had 2, i'd be making one.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        Really?

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 15 days ago

          Absolutely.

          1. BENOIT
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 15 days ago

            Why not 2

          2. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 15 days ago

            What is your thoughts, think things will kick off again by GW32?

            1. BENOIT
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 15 days ago

              So we won't get a new transfer for the next blank gameweek?

                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 15 days ago

                Yes you will

                1. BENOIT
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 15 days ago

                  And more info by then guess

          3. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 15 days ago

            The gameweek won't roll on though?

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        Just hope it is not a player with corona.

    4. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      No, got 2FT but waiting in case the Kaptain is back for when it resumes

      1. Tinkermania
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        Who is the Kaptain?

        1. Ross Geller
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 15 days ago

          I would assume Kane based on his username

          1. Tinkermania
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 15 days ago

            Ah! The penalty/tap in merchant.

      2. Puncheon Guly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        Just brought him in my draft team

      3. Fitzy.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        You'll still have 2 each GW until then if you're only making one.

    5. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Just did Perez to Bruno. Had 2FT so didn’t want to waste one

    6. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      I’ll use my FTs to turn Traore into Fernandes next week.

      WC intact so can hopefully sort team out down the line if the season gets completed

    7. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Maddison is about to drop tomorrow, so Maddison > B. Fern, then can go into GW 32 with 2 FTs if games resume somehow.

      If FPL is out a month or more, everyone's teams will be similar by then, with everyone getting a bunch of FTs to transfer out the chaff, and the wildcard and free hit value are going down.

  2. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    Best transfer (for what its it's worth) ...?

    A) Fleck ----> Traore
    B) Fleck ----> Sarr
    C) Moura ----> Fernandes
    D) McCathy ---> Pope

    1. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      C for sure

      1. BENOIT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        Moura has better fixtures ahead than the others though

    2. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      B or C

  3. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    Pope will still get clean sheet and max BAPs

  4. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    Potential moves I'd make with my second FT.

    - Remove non starters
    - Remove beach team players
    - Convert a pool def to Mane
    - Correct team structure
    - Get rid of Ars assets
    - Remove injured players like Periera

    Just throwing some ideas out there.

    1. jungle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Time to get rid of Kelly, Rico and Traore for me...

        Hey fellow South African!

      When can we expect a new article 😀

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        There's nothing to write about. Maybe a season review.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years

          Always enjoy reading your write ups!

            Thanks mate

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      I'll probably sell Pepe or one of Stevens/O'Connell next week when I have 2 FTs.

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Yep
      I did
      Perez Ings >> DCL Sarr with my 2 FT.
      Now will sit tight until GW 32 deadline when I'll have 2 FT again 😀

  5. Ninjaa
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    Next 2 weeks of fts I can do
    Aurier and Rico > Alonso and Dann
    Thoughts?

    1. Puncheon Guly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Players being removed makes sense, but you can't know whether those you're bringing in will be fit/in form whenever things start again

      1. Ninjaa
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        Ah yes I see what you mean. Season could restart with some players still quarantined also I suppose.

  6. Puncheon Guly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    Can't understand the FPL decision to keep gameweek deadlines as planned. Why not just extend the gameweek deadline to whenever matches start again? The way they've done it means we'll end up with either 40+ gameweeks, which messes up cups and head to head leagues, or up to 90 fixtures taking place in gameweek 38. Very odd

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Probably a coding issue

      1. Puncheon Guly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        They've got 3 weeks to recode!

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 15 days ago

          No they dont, they had until today before the deadline

          1. Puncheon Guly
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 15 days ago

            Would it have been a big recording job to change the GW deadline? That's all they'd need to do at this point

            1. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 15 days ago

              It might not be trivial with how the game infrastructure is coded to change game weeks around or add additional gameweeks

              1. jtreble
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 15 days ago

                +1.

        2. jtreble
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 15 days ago

          ... which is nowhere near enough time.

        3. jungle
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 15 days ago

          Doubt you could redesign, user research, rebuild, test and launch across all platforms in under 3 weeks...especially as no one has any idea of what exactly what to build at this point - the requirements are impossible to define.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        A few seasons back they nulled a complete gw and started the scores at GW2.

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Software architecture deficiencies. :).

    3. The FPL Units

      To keep an even playing field.

      1. Puncheon Guly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        How so?

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 15 days ago

          All the leagues tick over and bits are counted. Gives time for transfer if the PL starts up again.

          1. The FPL Units
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 15 days ago

            *hits

          2. Puncheon Guly
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 15 days ago

            I think it's the opposite. Transfers and wildcards played with the previous schedule in mind mean it's unfair to hold people to that. Coming from someone who's not played a WC or made a transfer

            1. The FPL Units
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 15 days ago

              I see it as no different to DGW and BGW moving around throughout the season. You choose when to play chups without full knowledge of what will happen in future weeks.

    4. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Wanted to give us the pleasure of one last round of "pens down" this morning. It will be poignant!

  7. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    The next season won't start in August. Kane essential.

  8. Puncheon Guly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    The one season england has a winter break is the one season we don't need it

  9. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    Even Super Rugby now under review 🙁 I think it will be cancelled too

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Next all beer sold out in liquor stores.

      Hangmans knot.

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      It's gone along with A League and NRL.

  10. Ninjaa
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    Is there anything left to bet on today?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Play the lotto

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Stock market is still ON i guess

    3. alastair
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Plenty of horse racing and National League football

    4. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Bet on you not betting today!

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      E-sports

  11. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    Looking forward to a green arrow (no hits taken for gw 30) after a disastrous gw!

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Has to be many -16's and then some floating around for those who were preparing for GW31 to get out 11.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      I'm currently 68K so expect a decent rank rise because of hits taken ahead of me.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        Might as well estimate it.

        Factoring people taking hits, 1FT and 2FTs and me with no transfers, I think I will rise to 40K.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 15 days ago

          Will make up for GW29, hopefully.

  12. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    Just confirming, if you have 1 ft and you don't use it now (gw30), you get 2fts for gw31.

    So basically you have to use a ft in gw31 to make sure your 1 ft doesn't get wasted, right?

    1. alastair
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Correct. The situation favours those who have already used their WC.

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        Why?

        1. alastair
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 15 days ago

          Because they can use the blank weeks to get their squad in shape for a renewal without having to take hits

          1. The FPL Units
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 15 days ago

            True and so do is who have not used WC, but still have it to use assuming season resumes. Still better to have WC intact.

            1. alastair
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 15 days ago

              I agree with you that it is better to have the WC intact; what I meant was that the relative advantage for those players over those without is reduced.

          2. potatoace
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 15 days ago

            Not necessarily. Once (if) the league recommences nobody knows what on earth the revised schedule will be like. Those with WC can adapt. Transfers being done now may be pointless.

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Correct

    3. Crystal Alice
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      same as it has been all season

  13. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    Who activated their WC this week?

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Mark's rival

  14. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    So if you have no FT's at the moment, GW30 +1 and GW31 +1 = 2FT's?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Yes just like normal.

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Wrong. You’ll have 1FT before GW31 deadline

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        You get 1 FT after GW29 deadline and another FT after GW30 deadline.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 15 days ago

          Sorry 30 and 31 😀

        2. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 15 days ago

          What? You’ve used your FT prior to GW30, and hence will have 1FT before GW31. I don’t see the confusion

  15. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    With 2FTs am I better off using at least 1?

    Own Pereira and Maddison

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Yes I used 1.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        Thanks

  16. Big boy Bowen

    Anyone know why the premier league darts wasn't cancelled? Large indoor crowd seems the biggest risk to me!

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Who cares about darts?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        Unless you want to throw them at your ex.

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        Just saying

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 15 days ago

          I hear you just not fan of darts!

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      They probably haven't had any relevant cases like the football Premier League did.

  17. Ha.

    Best Traore replacement? Like Snodgrass, but his minutes are concerning.

      Doucoure?

        Would rather Sarr but he’s too expensive

    2. jtreble

      Consider Mount.

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        I consider him too expensive

        1. jtreble
          • 7 Years

          Perhaps Barkley (5.6) then. GL.

      How much you got ?

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        5.8

        0 ITB but do have 2FT

          Already hard to decide without knowing when the prem will be back and even tougher to make a suggestion without knowing the make up of your team and how much you have to spend on a replacement. In terms of Snodgrass, i currently own and would avoid, appears to have lost his place and has come off bench for a few mins last couple of games. There are better FPL options out there around that price point. Personally I really like Doucouré.

    Ricardo to Doherty done. Weirdest transfer ever. No idea what fixtures Matt has coming up next, when those matches will be, or whether he will be fit.

    Come on you Daggers. Give me something to focus my footballing interest on!

      Yep, the usual suspects have it copied and ready to paste. 🙄

    Pardon me I'm a bit lost here. So there's a deadline transfer foe gw30 but there will be no match? So gw30 is a totally blank gw then?

    And if i don't make any transfer before the deadline, my ft will be brought forward as usual?

    1. YoungPretender
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Yes I believe so.

    2. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Correct. Strange times.

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Correct

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Correct and the same for gw31, so if you haven’t used your ft for gw30 yet then you will have 2ft for gw31

    5. SUPER MOKH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Cheers everyone. Strange times indeed

  23. YoungPretender

    I have 2FT, should I plan my transfers based around GW32 and onwards?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      What else are you going to plan it around?

        lol

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      You should use one of your free transfers, unless your team is absolutely how you want it.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        10 or more goals at 1/3

        My son to score a brace 1/10

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Great.....going to lump on...and take a hit to bring the lad in for Ings

  25. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years

    So let's just get this clear people.

    GW30 is a blank but it is a GW.

    GW31 is also a blank but it is also GW.

    Thank me later.

    With 2 FTs, I might as well sell Pereira, anyone 6.3 or below?

    Who to? Alonso/Doherty?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Yes.
      Both good options.

      1. Big boy Bowen

        Cheers old man

    Was there any price changes last night? Didn't see a hot topic. Do we think these have been locked? FPL (as usual) with price change info made no mention of it in their statement - unless I missed it.

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      None last night

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Prices have not been locked.

      1. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        Do you know this for sure? Where have you read that?

  28. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Those with WC and FH chips left should do well if the season gets under way again, should be a fair few double gameweeks, but it’s a big IF

    1. Lukakuna
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Or one gameweek with all the games

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      They will probably be so big that a few hits to prepare won't make too much of a dent.

    3. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      I'm optimistic that FPL are working on being able to add additional game weeks to the game. GW39, GW40 etc. I hope they're not going to be completely lazy and have a ridiculous sized GW38. This is if there is a large suspension period of course.

      1. Lukakuna
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 15 days ago

        Would be sort of fun too. Imagine how scared you'd be when one of your players get tackled

  29. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    12 Premier League teams were only playing one PL game until the suspension date anyway.

  30. FOO FIGHTER

    Hits galore over the next two GW's...

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      You first.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      That would be hilarious but I suspect there will be more this current week ..... people will have woken up before GW31. It's good news - an almost certain green arrow for anyone who hasn't taken a hit, even though the gains in OR will be very modest. A few collectors' items around too - grey arrows.
