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.

      I'm prob doing B. Just can't see Wolves being very open.

  3. sunzip14

    Have exact money for Willian>Dilva. Do it now or wait for potential leaked team news?

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

      Wait, he won't go up again tonight

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Willian is -80 now though!

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

      No need to wait. Dilva starts. 100%. Do it if you can’t afford a Willian price drop.

  4. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else think Lallana to Brighton is a poor move for him? Should be aiming higher looks like is happening

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

      He is 32

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I’ll get him on fpl if £5m

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

      On the beach though, thats a plus

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Brighton beach is not a good beach... too rocky

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Money, quality of life, near family?

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He aimed high when he went to Liverpool, and wasted much of what could've been his prime years.

    5. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Would think Southampton were his destined choice but Brighton gets a very good player, with experience and could full a role across the midfield.

  5. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I need another 44 points to beat my highest season score of 2384 back in 2009/10! 4k that season fingers crossed I can hold on tmrw!

    1. Forza

    2. MrZ

      Pieters Bardsley Stephens KWP.
      Neco if he start

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I’ve my eye on Neco, at least as a sub

    3. seewhyaxe
      • 7 Years

      cheers!

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

    I think having City defence vs Norwich is such a waste of funds when they will probably be sitting and watching the action unfold permanently in the Norwich half.

    1. redsallstars
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep triple city attack the way to go this week

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

        Only have raz & dilva & that's enough for me

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Also anybody’s guess who starts in defence. Pep almost switches back line completely each match.

    3. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What if the game finishes 2-0

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

      This is also why the argument that “KDB plays deeper when Silva plays” doesn’t persuade me. Deeper against Norwich is likely to mean on the edge of the D.

  8. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Pope, Norris - Robertson, Walker, Aurier, Target, Branthwaite - Mane, Son, Pulisic, Martial, D. Silva - Jesus, Greenwood, Nketiah. (3-5-2)

    How do you rate this composition? To change something? Who will be the best captain?

    Sterling or Mane?

    1. Sandesh_
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If it’s FH, Robbo to TAA, then switch Aurier to Burnley... surely.

  9. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    GTG?

    Martinez
    TAA Pieters Williams
    Salah Sterling (c) Bruno Mahrez
    Auba Ings

    Martin Greenwood Bardsley Thomas

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Dilva also starts.

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

      Sure sterling captain over Dilva?!

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Sterling has his eyes on the golden boot.

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

          Sure. Many factors though.

          1) needs 4 goals, tall order.

          2) Silva last game, he might get all the preferential treatment, pens etc.

          3) Pep ain’t going to watch sterling turn greedy and try score 4 goals, thats of vardy gets 0.

          4) will he start?!

          5) how long will be play?! Champions league awaits.

          1. Zladan
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            1) easily done v the team he faces.

            2) I expect Silva to come off early to applause (from players and televised fans :D) and pass armband to KDB.

            3) true.

            4) could see all big guns being taken off at some point.

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

              Silva didn’t play 1 minute last gwk. His applause will happen in like the 86th+ min. Pep doesn’t want to anger him lol

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

      Kane over Auba?

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Can see Palace frustrating Spurs... also Auba definitely up for golden boot.

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

          Auba is up for Barcelona

  10. Rex Lapis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which one?
    A. Bruno, Jimenez
    B. Kane, Greenwood (-4)

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

  11. Lignja
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A. Taa, Greenwood 343.
    B. Bardsly/Webster, Martial 352.

    Pope
    Pieters, Aurie, xxx
    Salah, Sterling, Kdb, Silva(c), xxx
    Kane, Ings, xxx

    On B atm, so if B triple Burnley or double + Webster

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

      I would get A.
      Trent looks a must and Greenwood can easily score.

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

    Sorry for the stupid question but...
    If my FH is activated and I transfer out KDB at 10mil will i have to buy him back in at 10.6mil? I'm pretty sure thats right?

    Just wanting to lock in my FH as worried about more price changes but then there is a thought to hold on for early team news? Any advice would be great.. many thanks.

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep buying price will then be 10.6.

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

        Okay thanks guys! Dangerous to play the waiting game then i guess.

  13. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Dredging FFS I have concentrated on the following:
    1) Dilva will be given a run
    2) If Dilva starts will get KDB in a deeper role? And with Foden too?
    3) Those who wait for team news are playing a dangerous game. Epic slow down on FPL site likely.
    4) Triple Burnley a massive trap with 2 to 1 chance of a clean sheet.
    5) Differentials more likely to hurt than help.
    6) Free hitters although advantageous could end up no better off than a standard good side.
    7) Everton v Bournemouth could be an unlikely goal-fest.
    8) Salah and Mane are the only teetotalers in the Pool squad. Can they do it on their own?
    9) Will Auba be benched when Arsenal playing for nothing?
    10) People playing more than 3 at the back don't know about last GW history.
    11) Are you brave enough to kick out ManU assets when it is obvious they are knackered.
    12) Doubling up on Spurs could be a group differential.
    13) 90% looking for advice on this site are getting their heads turned.

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

      We're all overthinking it

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Note my name. LISTEN TOO ME! (smile)

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

      9) they want auba to sigh new contract. Auba wants a sniff at the golden boot. They want him happy, he plays.

      8) salah might even just get a 30 min run which is good enough for him as he’s come off the bench twice before I previous years and got braces.

      11) united game will be low on goals so 1 or 2 players max will be the way to go.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        The above is not always how I think, they just seem main topics.

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      5) When a third of the top 10k are switching their side the template will be pretty broad / non existent

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        There are quite a few commonalities:
        Out: KDB Bruno Jimi Vardy (All are still capable of scoring high)
        In: Kane Sterling Dilva Pulisic (All capable of scoring high)
        See the similarity?

    4. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      2) Mahrez better chance of coming on then Foden?
      4) Managers with mainly low TV convincing themselves they are doing the Burnley double on scientific grounds?
      6) Yep the FH may be a trap. I did a FH team and wasn't convinced.
      12) Palace are a proud London club and won't want to lose 8 in a row. May put a better fight then most people think.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yep; I wasn't around when Nostradamus was. (Smile)

  14. Oringer7

  15. thedarkhorse
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Very simple question - who gets more points this week?

    A) KDB
    B) Mahrez

    1. insertcomedyname
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think the question is how you can use the extra money. If it’s going to sit in your bank, go KdB. If you can make an upgrade elsewhere, consider Mahrez

    2. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Evenish maybe Kdb just but not too much more

    3. MaRooney 5
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      toss a coin!

      I would go KDB

      I can be wrong but I think Mahrez won't be on any set-pieces this GW

  16. insertcomedyname
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A) KdB and Ings or
    B) Antonio and Jesus

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

      a

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

    Okay guys, have this looks on FH.

    Pope
    TAA - Aurier - Pieters
    Salah - KdB - Sterling - Silva
    Ings - Greenwood - Kane

    Or spread a risk and get Southampton defender/GK over Pope/Pieters?

    1. insertcomedyname
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Same as mine except I can’t afford Pope. Wondering whether to get Antonio in (downgrade Ings).

      Or to go Jesus and Antonio over KdB and Ings

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

        I had first draft without Ings, but I think I really need him.
        If he scores he usually gets also baps.

        I would definitely get Ings over Antonio.

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

      Sou do have better clean sheet odds. So legitimate to consider one of them over the Burnley two. I would presume the Bur players are more likely to get BAPs. But I would just judge it player by player and not worry about spreading the risk.

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

        Thats true, but I think Aurier and TAA have to be over Sou defenders.
        If they keep CS, Pope have always good change to get baps and Pieters If he gets an assist.

  18. Xanthorpe
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What's the better team?

    A)
    Digne - TAA - Pieters
    Salah - Sterling - Dilva - Martial - Pulisic
    Jesus - Ings

    B)
    Tierney - Robertson - Pieters
    Mane - Sterling - Dilva - Pulisic
    Jesus - Ings - Aubameyang

    1. yalala

      a

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

        Thanks, in that case is there anything else I can do to improve the first team? That's my current one.

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

          maybe Digne to Aurier to fund Jesus to Kane..

          (c) Sterling and you're good to go to enjoy the rest of the evening.

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

            Oh, I should have mentioned that I don't have Spurs players in my team. It might be suboptimal but I can't bear it as an Arsenal fan lol.

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

              Gooner myself as well.. every time I've brought Auba in this season, he's hauled a big 2pts..

  19. feizaiII
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Pope
    Alexander-Arnold Wan-Bissaka Doherty
    Pulisic Fernandes De Bruyne Foden Salah
    Wood Jesus

    Salah, KDB -> Sterling & Martial -4?

    1. insertcomedyname
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No

  20. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    KDB, keeping, getting or selling?

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

      Keeping. Will get 30 or 60 mins I think. Could be productive though in that time.

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      can't see why he wouldn't play tbh

  21. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bruno to Mahrez isn’t worth a -4?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes it is

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

      Not far off it though.

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

    Which one -

    A. Doherty, Greenwood
    B. Dunk, Dilva (-4)

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

      B and captain Dilva.

  23. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hi guys. I am having a few dilemmas over this. Would you rather drop ings and play Greenwood and Kane in a 3-5-2 with pulisic as the fifth mid or drop pulisic and play ings, Kane and Greenwood in a 3-4-3 but without the fifth midfielder. So basically ings or pulisic? Hope this makes sense!

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Drop Greenwood

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think play Ings.

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Play ings & pulisic

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

      Play Ings

    5. sunzip14
      • 7 Years

      A

  29. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    So what we saying is the template FH midfield? I haven't got FH myself , current midfield is

    Salah Sterling Martial Bruno Pulisic

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Salah, Sterling, Dilva, Martial, Antonio?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Well I'm close to this, I prefer Pulisic over Antonio, but Bruno is going to become KDB, Mahrez or Dilva

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I thought you were not a fan of Bruno?

      Why do you still own him?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Deciding who to buy in for him but he is going 100%

    5. Henryyy

      Salah Dilva Mahrez Sterling - Puli/Antonio/Martial/Bruno

    6. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think mine is pretty template

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years

    7. Dynamic Duos

          Mahrez was 15% but more people are shipping than buying - circa 15k net out
