Your chance to get involved in the FFS Scout Network

Want to join the Scout Network or work for Fantasy Football Scout? Now is your chance.

We have been the leading voice in all things FPL for over 12 years, working with an engaged community of fans, addicts and pioneers to create the best content. Mark Sutherns created the site as a place for Fantasy Football fans to come together to discuss tactics, make informed captain decisions and commiserate over 59th minute substitutions, a function it fulfils even today.

We were the first to create in-depth professional editorial content and share innovative tools like Fixture Tickers; the first to provide a definitive injuries and bans list and resources like set-piece takers; the first to utilise Opta stats to take analysis to the next level and the first to build a members area to allow others to play with that data themselves.

Our leagues have dominated FPL for years, many of the top players (including four of the last seven winners) were FFS members, most were users and our tools are utilised by many of the games themselves.

But we didn’t do this alone. It has always been a team game, working with and serving the wider community. Which is why, unlike most Fantasy channels, we make so much content available for free.

It’s also why we want to hear from you now if you’d like to get involved and join the Scout Network.

Building on the work we’ve done this year with the Pro Pundits program, we want to reach even wider for the 2020/21 season, with the creation of a Scout Network that supports upcoming creators to grow and monetise their social or video channels, allows tool-makers to promote their genius to a wider audience and genuinely gives opinionated Fantasy managers everywhere a better chance to be heard.

So if you have a cool tool you’d like to share with the world, a social or video channel that you’d like to work with FFS to grow and monetise, some amazing tech skills you’d like to contribute or just some great insight that you need to share, we want to hear from you!

Just fill out this simple form with some relevant info and we’ll guarantee to check it out and come back to you.

If you have more pressing questions about Scout that aren’t related to above, please use support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk and if you’d like to work for us jobs@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk

    Absolute madness going to rain down here minutes before the deadline. If you try make a comment you probably will have to go 2 or 3 pages back with no answers as the pages will zip by.

    Are we looking at servers crashing just before deadline tomorrow 😀

      Where's the best place to get leaked line ups? Seems like the rockstar is out

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Scarface

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      I'll be refreshing the fpl scarface twitter.

      As long as fpl doesn’t crash mid last minute changes as a result of leaked lineups

      1. tokara
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I tried it last time, not for the faint heart... Made my transfer at the 0th second left

  5. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hi all, thoughts on the best combo here...quite tough.

    Martinez
    XXX • Pieters • Long --- Williams simpson
    Salah • Sterling • Dilva • Mahrez • XXX
    Kane • XXX --- connolly

    A: Aurier + Antonio + Rashford
    B: Aurier + Martial + Ings
    C: Robbo + Antonio + Ings.

    1. UnitednationsXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I like C but going without a united attacker is a big risk imo

    2. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B

  6. Fletch365
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    1FT - Rival is 8 pts behind and has a Free Hit
    Would you rather:

    A: Vardy > Jesus
    B: Salah & Vardy > Sterling & Kane (-4)
    C: Fernandes & Vardy > DSilva & Kane (-4)

    Pope (Martinez)
    Bardsley TAA Digne (Lund Robinson)
    KDB Foden Salah Fernandes (Barnes)
    Rash Greenwood Vardy

    1. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      With a FH, he will have both Sterling and Kane and captain one of them so B to cover that

  7. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Tarkowski or Pieters in a Burnley triple?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pieters and use the money somewhere else...

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Don't really have a need for the cash unless I take a hit. Tarkowski maybe more goal threat, but Pieters better on the assists. Probably 6 points for both realistically

    2. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If you have a good place to use the money then Pieters.

  8. PepTalk
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Crunch time, any advice welcome. I'm 14 pts up on second in my mini league, 25 up on third. No chips for me, they both have FH so not real opportunity to block.

    I have:

    Pope
    TAA Aurier Stephens (Boly, Egan)
    Salah, Bruno, Martial, Antonio, Foden
    Rash, Wood (DCL. Yep. DCL)

    2.8 itb / 1 FT

    Thinking one of two ways.
    A) Hope Foden plays or has a cameo off the bench and go Bruno to Sterling (c) and to fund that (0.4 short), Rash to Ings

    Or B) to get 3 city and the ones I really want, a -12 involving Bruno, Martial, Foden and Rash to Sterling (c), Silva, Mahrez and Greenwood

    Would wipe out my lead but give me, I think, the best chance to match the FH chasers.

    What ya reckon, A or B?

    Thanks all

    1. MikeBravo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Neither, just upgrade Foden to Dilva, and captain him.

    2. MikeBravo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      And have Boly as first sub...

  9. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hi guys, need some help please -

    Is it advisable to move Foden out for Dilva for a hit whilst having Greenwood on the bench?

    I’m already playing Bruno and Rashford in my starting XI.

  10. Darthshearer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Changed this team about 50 times. Thoughts? on a FH

    GK: Pope
    DEF: Aurier Egan Pieters
    MID: Sterling De Bruyne David Silva Salah Antonio
    FWD: Kane Greenwood

    BENCH: Nyland Williams Connolly Jagielka

    1. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Did not like Egan, Sou is likely to score, rest is good.

      1. Darthshearer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Could swap out for Dunk

    2. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Same as my team except I have TAA over Egan

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

      You can do better than Egan, I think

      1. Vovhund
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        What's your selling price on Egan?

        1. Darthshearer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          if I get rid of Egan I have £5m to spend

          1. Vovhund
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Then you could do Bertrand

    4. Boywiththesoupdragontattoo
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Just swap Egan then you’re there imo. Dunk sounds like a good shout, Cresswell or even Bertrand if you’re feeling like a gamble.

  11. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    In your opinion who do you think my ML’s rival BB team with outscore my FH team by 5pts

    Rivals Team

    Pope
    TAA AWB Doherty

    Martial KDB Saka Grealish

    Kane Aubameyang Greenwood

    McCarthy Bednarek Lundstram Barnes

    My FH Team

    Martinez

    TAA Aurier Pieters

    Sterling Salah Sliva Pulisic

    Kane Greenwood Ings

    Martin Saka Walker-Peters Branthwaite

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      both look strong. Your midfield massively out does his though which could be the difference

  12. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Does the Official FPL Twitter account always extol the virtues of waiting for early team news?
    https://twitter.com/OfficialFPL/status/1287031418946805760?s=19

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      The scout is FFS

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Poor stuff. If the Premier League were aware that one of their official accounts were endorsing team leaks they'd come out and stamp down hard on FPL

  13. Vpan
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If you had to bring one player with FT who would that be?

    a) DSilva (for Martial/Bruno)

    b) Son (for Martial/Bruno)

    c) Kane (for Vardy)

    d) 2 transfers for a hit

  14. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which is better?

    Bruno and Justin ➡️ KDB,Cheap Burnley defender
    Bruno and Justin ➡️ Dsilva,7.7 defender
    Foden and Justin ➡️ Dsilva,cheap Burnley defender/Garcia
    Bruno and Justin ➡️ Mahrez 6.6 defender

    Thank you.

    1. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I like the fourth option.

      How do you enter these arrows by the way?

  15. davewg59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hi guys bit of advice plse?

    Tarkowski TAA Aurier
    or

    Pieters TAA Digne?

    1. Vovhund
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Second option. Not too sure about the Everton clean sheet

  16. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    25 pts off top 10k. Does my FH have enough differential & potential ?

    Pope
    TAA Robbo Pieters
    Salah Sterlo Mahrez Dilva
    Kane Auba Greenwood

  17. Phlajo
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Pick one
    A - Aurier + Son
    B - VVD + Richarlison

  18. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    No pressers today?

    1. Lemongrab

      They were all yesterday

  19. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Pick better option:
    A. Antonio - TAA
    B. Bruno - Digne

  20. JenkoJunko
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    On FH
    A. Mahrez / Martial / Kane
    or
    B. KDB / Son / Ings

    Martinez
    TAA Aurier Pieters
    Salah Sterling Dilva *** ***
    Greenwood ***

    Also leading ML by 12. I have Salah, 2nd Place has Mane.. would you swap to cover? Thanks all and GL

    1. Sasquatch Slayer
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You are leading and on FH. Play your own game . It’s done you well thus far

      1. JenkoJunko
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Many thanks. Would you pick A or B?

        1. Sasquatch Slayer
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Probably A. But that’s cos Son hates me

          1. JenkoJunko
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Ha! He hates me as well for that matter. Just a little scared of getting rid of KDB especially as 2nd place has him.

  21. Hazardous1983
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Will foden start

    1. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I wished but it’s unlikely. For that reason, I’m likely to bring in D Silva for a hit, which is annoying.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No but off bench can still get good score

  22. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Should I wait for early team news or do Bruno > Son now and avoid late tranfer fail/servers crashes?

    My team will be

    Pat
    TAA SlamDunk Aurier
    Mo Raz Dilva Tony Sunshine
    Jaysus GreenW

    1. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Do you think Dunk would outscore Bertrand?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yes

        1. Vazza
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Why? Brighton are one of the worst teams to give headed chances away, while Burnley are one of the best teams to score from headed chances.

          Also, Sheffield haven’t been scoring many goals away from home ...

        1. Vazza
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          That’s a myth.

          You can’t win anything with myths!

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Dunk is more than capable of scoring goals. The defender table will reveal this.

  23. ㅤRising
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who scores more Mahrez or Dilva

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I would rather have Dilva

    2. MTPockets
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thinking Mahrez assuming similar minutes, which isn't at all certain.

        1. ㅤRising
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yea Mahrez probably gets around 60. You think Dilva gets close to 90?

          1. MTPockets
              3 years, 8 months ago

              No idea. Mahrez is very rested, but then Silva's last PL game.
              My dilemma's more Jesus vs Silva. I'm willing to bet on Mahrez

              1. ㅤRising
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Mahrez will be very tempting if he starts in the early team news. Jesus would be the first pick with Sterling if we knew he started.

                1. MTPockets
                    3 years, 8 months ago

                    I think I agree, but probably getting swayed by Silva popularity here

                  I have only one but was thinkinh what it would be if I had two. If I was doing good in my second account still that wouldnt mean anything as its not my main account imo.

          I am on a bench boost, which is pretty much wasted with injuries to C. Taylor and Lascelles. I am down to four options:

          A) Salah, Lascelles --> Sterling (C), Aurier/Pieters (-4). Allows me to get Sterling and field 13 instead of 12.

          B) Salah, Jesus --> Sterling, Kane (-4) Hard to see losing Salah and Jesus this week, but Sterling and Kane may be better.

          C) KDB, Bruno --> Sterling, D. Silva (-4). KDB just hasn't been as potent lately, and Bruno looks tired. Still, this could backfire badly.

          D) Willian, Bruno --> Soucek, Sterling (-4). Allows me to keep Salah and KDB, but is Soucek good enough?

          Ryan - Button
          TAA - Doherty - Saiss - C. Taylor - Lascelles
          Salah - KDB - Bruno - Martial - Willian
          Jesus - Ings - Greenwod

          The captaincy is between Salah or Sterling for me.
          Rival has Salah, and I have a 10 point lead
          I currently have the armband on Sterling but just thinking of moving it to Mo

            Move it to Salah as he doesn't have Sterling.

            He could of course do Salah to Sterling...

          A) Pope & Mane (Nketiah 1st bench)
          B) Martinez & Salah ( Greenwood 1st bench)

            A

          Which one looks better FH team for you?

          A) 3-5-2
          Martinez
          TAA - Long - Pieters
          Salah - Sterling - KdB - Dilva - Son
          Greenwood - Ings

          B) 3-4-3
          Pope
          TAA - Aurier - Pieters
          Salah - Sterling - KdB - Dilva
          Ings - Greenwood - Kane

            Oh sorry, A have Greenwood - Kane forwards.

          2. Phil's Stamps
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            It's close, but B for me.

            1. Phil's Stamps
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              A then.

            2. Strchld
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              B would be more safe to my eyes.
              Have still feeling that Son could easily explode.

              That doesn't make sense. B team has pricier GK, defender and 8th attacker

              1. Strchld
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                But doesnt have expensive Son.
                Its basically Ings over Son and upgrading defence.

              2. Strchld
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                A doesnt have Ings, has Kane. Wrote it wrong.

                1. MTPockets
                    3 years, 8 months ago

                    That's really tough. B then I think

              Would you go for a hit, chasing in cash league

              0 FT, 0.9 ITB

              Martinez (McCarthy)
              TAA, Maguire, Saiss (Ritchie, Taylor)
              Salah (c), Dilva, KDB, Fernandes, Pulisic
              Ings, Greenwood (Jimmy)

                What’s the gap and who are your differentials?

                  26 points, Salah, KDB, Ings and TAA

                    I wouldn’t take a further hit then unless early team news springs a few surprises . That’s a fine bunch to be leading the chase
