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.

    Anyone going to try a differential captain this week?

    I've gone for a 5,3,2 formation

    McGovern captain, McCarthy benched

    Salah, KDB and Vardy on the bench

    Wish me luck!

    What is sky sports news going to talk about for two weeks

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

      Women's football.

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

        Also cancelled

      2. Old Man

        • 12 Years

        How about just women?

    2. ebb2sparky
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      At least there are often some attractive women to look at! Talk Sport are the ones in trouble. I used to listen every Saturday morning. This morning I got bored within minutes and turned it off.

  4. Lukakuna

    What's your transfer strategy heading into this crucial part of the season?

    Spreading you funds and get a playing bench?
    Putting all value into a nailed on starting eleven?
    Looking at what teams have the best remaining fixtures?

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

      As I have 2FT I might just downgrade VVD so I can upgrade Rico later

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

      For now I'm going with the idea that games may be being played from April 4th (although unlikely). That means I only need to make 1 transfer between now and then to not lose it. I'll just look next week at the situation.

    58 mins till pens down

    the tension is incredible

    Took a hit this Gameweek. Wondering what this will do to my current rank of 179,454.

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      the hit itself doesn't matter

      but the transfers will drop your rank as it's a tie breaker

      1. Fitzy.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        The hit doesn't matter? He's lost 4 points on anyone who didn't.

  7. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years

    Guess the positive is that livefpl will reveal your rank straight away as soon as GW30 starts. No autosubs this GW 🙂

    1. TLF

  8. Big boy Bowen

    Guys, not sure if this means anything or not but I've just noticed in the last few mins every player's fixtures have disappeared and replaced to none for the future gameweeks.

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

      Oh wait they're back, must have been a glitch

    2. FOO FIGHTER

      Which is a good thing

      Outside? Don't do it, Xbox, PS4 or PC you want.

      Don't do that... That's where the people are...

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years

        If he is under 50 he should go catch the virus and get it done with

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

          Was just sayin this to a mate... Surely instead of quarantining the world you just quarantine the most vulnerable and get everyone else to power though it?

  10. ebb2sparky
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    Pope in for McCarthy using one of my 2 free transfers. The reverse transfer was probably my worst transfer of the season!

    Looking at others on the same score I reckon this will cost me about 100 places in overall rank 🙁

  11. PB-THE-VET
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 15 days ago

    Transfered Ing to vardy.

    Mat as well as nothing happening and its kind of a free transfer

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

      Wrong move pal, Vardy doesn't look like the hand washing type.

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

        lol - what a wag!

    Got 2ft so need to make 1 in order not to lose one. Any obvious moves here which i could do even though we don't know what's happening?

    Pope, McCarthy
    TAA, Doherty, Stevens, Lascelles, Taylor
    Salah, Mane, KDB, Cantwell, Foden
    Ings, DCL, Jimenez

    1.1m in bank.

    thanks!

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Foden out

    2. InvertedWinger
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 15 days ago

      Move Foden for either Fodder or a usable midfielder like Barnes/Sarr

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

      Foden to Sarr

  14. InvertedWinger

    Any prospective Bench Boosters out there - MysticJose has seen the future and I can guarantee you with a 100% sucess rate that this week your entire bench of 4 will score as many points as your ENTIRE starting XI - captain included!

    And you can take that to the bank.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      BB and TC are the chips to have now.

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

        Can also confirm as a bonus that your TC will score as much as your remaining FOURTEEN PLAYERS COMBINED.

        You're Welcome.

    Presuming teams are going to need a pre-season for the 20/21 EPL and clubs aren't going to want to travel abroad, the eight teams left in the FA Cup could finish the competition in a pre season tournament with the losers all playing each other in more meaningless friendlies (the four losing quarter finalists could have their own four team tournament). All eight teams could play 3 games in week. Winners win the FA Cup and everyone gets valuable game time. This would then free up time needed to finish this years league season.

    No offence but the hands in this overused picture look like the dodgiest 1970s tax dodging manager ever. He looks like he has spent his sign on bonus at HPJs.

    Why not get a close up of Pep's beautifully manicured hands instead?

    Modernise FFS!

  20. Dynamic Duos

    Are 30/31 gameweeks still being played at later dates or are the fixtures going to be 32-38?

    1. Epic Fail

      GW30 and 31 in FPL terms are going ahead as planned.

  21. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years

    I went from 97k to 140k after triple Arsenal double Pep FH29.

    Will be interesting to see how I rise GW30.

      They actually had plenty of that. I was surprised.

    When the Second World War started all the teams had played 3 games when the season was stopped. Blackpool were leading and the 1939-40 season was ultimately made null and void as were the results of all matches and are not part of official club records.

    If this precedence is followed then the 2019-20 season, if not completed, will be null and void and all match results excluded from official records.

    I myself am in the camp that unless the season finishes all results are null and void. For this reason, I would like all the matches to be eventually played even if it’s behind closed doors.

    1. CRO KLOPP

      Wow ww2,you must be Very old

        Yep, all of us who have studied our history during the war are very old.

      Apparently, according to some radio show I heard last night on the way home from work, the rule is that if the EPL is suspended for more than 60 consecutive days then the season is nullified, and the outcomes are exactly as you already mentioned. Basically a reset button - no official records of the games, no winner, no relegations etc.

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

        There was a report in the Daily Telegraph on Thursday that the period was 65 days - either way I think the point that is being missed is that the Premier League will have to act according to the rules that are already laid down - otherwise they face the risk of legal action. The only alternative is if they act in such a way that nobody would sue - ie allow Leeds and West Brom to be promoted but no relegation this season.

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

          I'm sure the teams below them Fulham, Brentford etc my want to sue.

      2. The Polymath

        Thank you friend. Rules are rules, you can't just throw them out of the window.

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

          Correct - which is why the discussions in the press and on TV as to what the Premier League might want to do are pointless. The starting point has to be to establish what the PL rules say - yet I can't see that those rules are in the public domain.

    1. CONNERS

      I was considering B myself, and perhaps Krul as second GK.

    Let's hope the overall leader hasn't taken a strategic - 12, lead only 9 points.
