Win a year’s membership by joining our FPL mini-league and raise money for the NHS

We have launched a new Fantasy Premier League classic mini-league to mark the resumption of the 2019/20 season, with scoring starting from Gameweek 30+.

Whether you’re currently ranked first in the world or closer to the seven-million mark, everyone is in with a chance of winning as all entrants start from zero.

Head to the FPL site via this link and use the code ‘i3lxye’ to sign up (full details are towards the bottom of this piece).

There’s not only pride at stake in this mini-league but the carrot of free annual memberships to the managers who finish in the top five places.

Don’t worry if you’re already subscribed for 2020/21 – we’ll refund your payment if your finish qualifies you for this prize.

Our new end-of-season mini-league is called the ‘The FFScout Charity Shield‘ and we’re also using this opportunity to try and raise money for the NHS.

We usually offer Amazon vouchers to those finishing in the podium places of our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members leagues, and that remains the case in this stop-start season.

For ‘The FFScout Charity Shield’, we at Fantasy Football Scout are pledging the cash equivalent – £300 – to NHS Charities Together.

The selfless work that our National Health Service key workers carry out on a daily basis has been brought into sharp focus over the last three months.

We’re honoured to be donating money to such a worthwhile cause and we’re inviting you to do the same via our JustGiving page.

We should stress that a donation is not mandatory and anyone can enter ‘The FFScout Charity Shield’ whether they are able to make a financial contribution or not; we fully appreciate that these are tough, unprecedented times and some of you will perhaps not be in a position to do so.

If you are able to spare a bob or two, however, then you can do so by clicking on the below link.

Many thanks to anyone who donates to the fund and good luck for the rest of the season.

    Ok im fairly certain Alonso will start vs Villa now. More than ever

    Assuming he starts

    Alonso or doherty for this week only?

    1. CFC1990
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Villa are fighting to stay up.

      It is tough. I would go Doherty personally but both could do very well.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Does the 0.2 make a difference elsewhere?

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Nope

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          You want to pick Alonso so go for it.

    3. Netters2018
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Take both i am, both could score heavily

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Have trple shu defence and targett

        1. Netters2018
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          can you juggle mid? I had the same but downgraded sterling to allow me to replace targett

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Crap tv means i can only go with one. Priority is dgw big hitters

  2. CFC1990
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Hi guys, can i please have a RMT:

    Ederson, Leno
    Egan, Doherty, Targett, Stevens, TAA
    Fleck, KDB, Grealish, Douglas Luiz, Sterling
    Auba, Abraham, Jimenez

    No money left. I had Mount and Aguero instead of Sterling and Abraham before but changed.

    I feel Abraham is a better option than Mount.

    I also think Sterling is as nailed as Aguero really i.e. its a lottery!)

    Many thanks and I will reply to some comments now as good etiquette

    1. BENOIT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Agree on Tammy, but price. I like Pulisic as an alternative

      1. CFC1990
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Pulisic might work. I could go for him.

        I just think Abraham has done well so far and has demonstrated good consistent premier league pedigree

        1. WD27
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          2 goals in his last 10 full (or near enough) games not massively encouraging

  3. Thescaff
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Those of you who are also using unlimited transfers, how late will you leave it until making the FH team??

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Oh dear

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      You get your GW38 team back regardless.
      See the hot topic.

  4. Mortal.Swinbat
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Top 3 players for the rest of the season? Not including Salah/Mane, KDB or TAA?

    Son, Rashford, Jiminez for me

    1. Thescaff
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Won't be too far wrong

    2. CFC1990
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yes good picks

    3. Netters2018
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      son jimi bruno

    4. Davidwrigley
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Martial fernandes Jiminez

  5. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on this lot? Any flaws for a BB team with WC week after?

    Ederson, Reina
    TAA, Lascelles, Egan, Baldock, Targett
    Grealish, Pulisic, KDB, Mount, Pepe
    Nketiah, Auba, Aguero

    Ta!

    1. Thescaff
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Pepe the standout concern

      1. Bullet Eder
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Both of them

    2. luke25
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Reckon Pulisic will start?

    3. CFC1990
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      No its a good team. Obviously Nketiah is probably not going to get too many minutes but who cares? He is so cheap and enables a good team. Please rate mine above.

      Why Aguero over Sterling? Not disagreeing. Just want to know your logic

      1. BENOIT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        i Don’t like Leno.... think I would downgrade one of Tammy or Sterling to beef up your cheap midfielders

    4. Sid123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Different to a lot lofty teams, looks good.

  6. luke25
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    De Gea Henderson
    Bellerin Gomez Mendy Justin Doherty
    Pogba KDB Pepe ASM Traore
    Aguero Jota Nketiah

    1.5 ITB, where can I improve? I know Pogba and Pepe is risky but need to make ground up, thanks

  7. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Is Reina definitely going to play?

  8. lespaul
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Don't the whole Norwich team now have to self isolate?

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      They shd but dont let that get in the way of pool title celebrations

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Just the player and family.

      1. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        No that doesn't apply to PL players as they get tested twice a week.

  9. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Im finding it very hard to decide between FH in 31 or WC (BB in 30+). Does anyone have some good theories to share?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      How bad is your current side?

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Its not bad, I could probably actually FH in 30 but i would feel like losing out on this extra WC.

  10. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Little stuck on these,who is better option

    A) Barnes
    B) Sarr

    1) DLC
    2) Pukki

    1. CFC1990
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I would go for A2.

    2. Davidwrigley
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B 2

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

    3 years, 10 months ago

    Hi Guys, can I please have an RMT?
    Team is BB
    Henderson / Leno
    Laporte/Targett/Baldock
    Grealish/McGinn/KDB/Pepe/Fleck
    Aguero/Auba

    Jimenez/Sais/Boly/Saiss

    1.2 ITB, ideally I would like Doherty but I am short 0.1-0.3 m.
    Thanks

  12. Bullet Eder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I've finally settled on my BB30+ team. Just the armband to sort now:

    A. KDB

    B. Aguero

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I thi k the limited mins mean less chances of a big haul. Makes it easier to take a captain punt

      Think im going grealish

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Grealish for captain?

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          I think so

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Genuinely think that's a good shout, he's definitely gonna play every minute.

          2. _Ninja_
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            JACK GREALISH?

          3. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            ballsy man 🙂

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Aguero at home is a beast. I don’t know how that will work with no audience mind. Add sterling into the mix also.

    3. Davidwrigley
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A

    4. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B

  13. Sid123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    A or B

    A Doherty and Nketiah
    B Lascelles and Jota?

    1. Davidwrigley
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B

  14. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    which would you rather have here gents?

    A) Alonso + Jota

    B) O'Connell + Jiminez

    Cheers guys.

    1. Davidwrigley
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        cheers

      B

  15. Mortal.Swinbat
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Am I correct in thinking Werner won’t be eligible to play this season after he signs? No danger of Tammy being rotated?

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Right on the first point

      Abraham will be rotated though. They have 2 other strikers

  16. Pieterke30
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Reina not a guaranteed starter, they say

    http://www.avillafan.com/32019/who-starts-as-villa-goalkeeper/

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      He will start for sure. Lot of of bluffers around these days

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Every time I watched them, Reina has been terrible and Nyland had some pretty good performances so wouldn't be surprised if Reina lost his place.

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        How long is Reina's contract?

  17. luke25
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Bergwijn a good option if I can’t afford Son?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I don’t know... Moura and Lamela there also

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      No. If you can't afford son go cheaper than bergwijn and upgrade elsewhere.

  18. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on my FH team ?

    Leno
    Baldock, Lundstram, O’Connell
    Sterling, KDB, Fernandes, Grealish
    Aguero, Aubameyang, Abraham

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Decent but not sure about 3 sheff utd defenders. Feel the pain when 1 starts on bench and the other 2 concede.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        It’s a big risk but I’m committing to it now I think.

  19. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Which one will score more pts?

    A Doherty (whu)
    B Mount (avl)

    1. Davidwrigley
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A

    3. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Probably Doherty.

  20. GHB
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Is there a captain poll?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Someone said on a thread earlier this afternoon that it would come up on Monday but I've not heard anything conclusive.

  21. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Whats the general consensus here of playing fh chip if not playing in gw30?

    1. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Keep in back pocket just in case and worse case use on the last week for me

      1. space mercenary
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        PUP!

        1. PompeyUpNorth!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          PUP! Good man...

      2. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Ok thanks. So might aswell use it in gw31

        1. PompeyUpNorth!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Yes, you could do... then you’ll have more knowledge for your card the week after

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      31 or 37 i keep seeing.

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Sorry thats for bb. But i have seen a few Fh37

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Final gameweek then goals galore 😉 or else a gw when the majority of your squad has difficult fixtures

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Last gw will be interesting. 5 subs to use and majority of teams got nothing to play for and possible rest for key players when next season is just around corner

    4. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A few seem to be playing it in 31+ if using BB this week.

      Others want to save it to GW38+ or in their ML to chase down a leader on a later GW where they think they can pick an XI made of differentials.

    5. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'll probably play it on 32

    6. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'm keeping FH as long as possible. Something bound to happen to call off a game or two, and if not, can pound the last week.

      1. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed. Same here. We May get an unexpected double week, who knows..

  22. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    How does this look for BB?

    Henderson
    TAA Egan O'Connell Targett
    KdB Pepe Grealish Mcginn
    Auba(c) Kun

    Ederson Soy Barnes Nketiah

    0.2 itb

    Don't mind keeping Lei guys, think they are good value and not much at that price range...

    P.s. still have all 3 chips + wc so planning to wc in 31.

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'm not sold on Pepe, even as an Arsenal fan, but rest looks very nice. Mount / Pulisic seem to be popular SGW midfielder picks here.

      Alternatively could look at Mahrez?

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Ignore Mahrez comment - you already have 3 City.

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Want to have City defence cause I think they have the best chanches for cs and Ederson is safe choice. Also not sold on Pepe but at least he has 2 games

    2. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Similar to mine so I like it.. I’m punting on Pépe, but must admit it’s a punt

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Tell me about it, haha. GL to both of us

    Thoughts on this GW30+ BB team:

    Henderson, Reina
    Alonso, Lundstram, Egan, Laporte, Doherty
    Grealish, De Bruyne, Özil, Douglas Luiz, Fernandes
    Agüero, Jiménez, Aubameyang

      Downgrade laporte and upgrade ozil to Mahrez or a silva? Otherwise looks great

    With my seriously crap TV this is my latest draft.

    Tried to change it up a bit with no Auba and triplencity attack.

    Leno Reina

    O Connonly Baldock Stevens Doherty Alonso

    Sterling KDB Barnes Grealish Mount

    Nkitiah Aguero Samatta

      Honestly ditch sterling and kun

      Bring in Mahrez and auba and strengthen

      Alonso out, Doherty in

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Doherty is already in

        Yeah considering auba in for sterling whilst keeping aguero

    GW30+ only:

    1) A)lonso in 433 or M)ount in 343..?
    2) J)imenez or T)ammy..?

      Same dilemma here

      Currently on Jimmy and Mount because I feel they’re more nailed

      I would prefer Alonso over Mount as he’s more explosive. Just not sure on his place

    The below is my BB30+ team, but trying to look forward with it due to poor TV.

    Feel I could potentially use 2 transfers in GW31+ (-4) and get a good side out and have another week of info before WC-ing?

    Leno | McCarthy
    TAA | Lundstram | Egan | O'Connell | Lascelles
    KDB | Mahrez | Grealish | Cantwell | Fernandes
    Aubameyang | Aguero | Nketiah

    Ozil or Maddison?

    1. Davidwrigley
      • 6 Years

      Ozil

    Not seen much Maddison love and he's not in the predicted line-ups either.

    Anyone know why?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Most have 2 City Mids and Grealish and need at least one cheap mid to make things work. After that Barnes saves a bit of money.

      The predicted lineups haven't been updated since March, so I wouldn't read too much into that.

    Where's the captain's poll?

    FH team thoughts:

    Leno
    Stevens Laporte Baldock
    KDB Mane Grealish Fleck
    Auba Aguero Vardy

    Something a bit different and not overly confident on any of the double GW teams.
