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.

    Antonio or Dilva?

    Got Jesus and Raz (c). Thinking Antonio..

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      Dilva

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

        why though? Antonio's ceiling v Villa is surely much higher than Dilva's..

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

          Because he is taller? 😀

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

          City vs Norwich though.... Norwich! Silva has higher ceiling

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

          Antonio and West Ham are now safe, less to play for and less urgency. May get an early bath.

          Silva is a true professional and probably will put in a great performance for his final premier game. Guaranteed minutes too.

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad

      Dilva

  2. DannyDrinkVodka

    Second season playing, should I be quite pleased with final rank of ~40k? Or is nothing to write home about?

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

      Should be happy for sure.

      1. FDMS All Starz

    Do you reckon Mahrez starts? Want him over KDB with what the extra funds can do.

    1. yalala
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Rested vs Watford

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

      I reckon he does and I do have him over KDB on my FH, hoping for early team news

  7. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years

    On a FH;

    A) Martinez, Pieters & KDB

  9. gomez123
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    17 points behind in my ML
    Vardy & Bruno to Kane & D Silva for free??
    would give me this
    Martinez
    TAA Aurier Egan
    Salah KDB Mahrez Martial D Silva
    Kane & Greenwood
    Y/N

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

      Yes!

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

      Or, maybe Vardy + Mahrez to Kane and Dilva?

      1. gomez123
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        0.1m short of that move.....

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

      good moves

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

      Why do you ship Bruno instead of Martial?

      1. gomez123
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        money

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

          But if money wasn’t an issue, would you ship Martial or Bruno?

  10. SAY MY NAME
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    tarkowski or aurier?

    worth having the potential goal threat and baps of Tarkowski? Spurs players always let me down, but Pope in goal so maybe spread the risk?

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

      Aurier - no PVA for Palace so Aurier will be camped out in the Palace half

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        thanks mate

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

    Pick a combination
    A - Aurier + Son
    B - VVD + Richarlison

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

      A

    2. sunzip14

      A

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

    Scores prediction please! ML rank most likely going to be decided on the points scored by these 3 captain choices.

    A) Salah
    B) Kane
    C) Sterling

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      who knows, any of them could haul or blank, Sterling biggest potential for a haul i guess

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

      Excluding bonus

      A. 8
      B. 10
      C. 16

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

      All three will het double digit scores.

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

        Each of us only own one of these players as the major differential. That would even out. But if any of them fail and others score double digits, there will be swing in ranks with only 20pts difference between 1st and 3rd.

      Auba

    2. Ajaxeeding

      Kdb

    3. Arctic monkeys

      Cheers both

  15. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Assuming they start, do you think this plan could work?

    KDB, Bruno, Rashford ----> Mahrez, Son, Auba

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

      Yeah but Dilva instead of Mahrez. I took out KdB after owning him all season. Seems risky but I think he'll play deeper as Dilva should start he's last game

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

    I think that the FH decisions I’m having to make are more difficult than I have had all season long. It is just an educated craps shot.

    I want to add Sterling. But who do I sell:
    A) Salah (I think he has been very unfortunate the last couple of weeks);
    B) Fernandes (he has looked slow the last two or so games, but he still has been dangerous and can create chances if MUN play a counterattack game plan like Spurs did against LEI)
    C) Martial (he can be the receiver of the passes for the counterattacks).

    Any advice much appreciated!

    Current team with 0.8 ITB with 1 FTs
    Pope, Martin
    TAA, Pieters, Bradsley, Doherty, Branthwaite
    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Martial, D. Silva
    Kane, Greenwood, Connolly

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

      If this my FH I would

      Doherty to Williams as it looks like you want to go 3 x Burnley defence

      Then
      KDB to Sterling

      Then
      Bruno to Mahrez

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

        So you would keep Martial and sell Bruno?

        Thanks for the thoughts.

  17. marquinhos
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which would you play?

    1) Hendo / McCarthy
    2) Egan/ Stephens?

  18. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A. Aurier, Foden, Kane
    B. Aurier, DCL, Kane
    C. Doherty, Dilva, Ings

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

      A

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

        Why A?

        Do you think Foden will start?

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

          I think that he will get some minutes and against NOR that is all you need. I’m also very over DCL.

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

    Best max 4.8 midfielder to the bench.
    Maybe Rice?

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

      Soucek, Saka

  20. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Should I get Kane instead of Vardy for a hit ?

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

      No way

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 10 Years

        Cheers

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

    Anyone else thinking Bruno > Mahrez -4? Was thinking of it but it totally backfires if United get a penalty.

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

      Im deciding between Bruno and Martial to sell for Sterling. Not sure what to do

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

      Thinking of it but think Bruno has a good chance of points against Leicester so sets a high bar for Mahrez to surpass

    3. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      *When* United get a penalty.

  23. BurnMyBread
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Should I downgrade one of Martial and Pulisic to Antonio? The rest of my midfield is Salah, Sterling, and Dilva.

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

      I think id want them inthis order:

      1.Martial
      2.Pulisic
      3.Antonio

  24. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is KDB & Silva enough City coverage? Could get Sterling as well but would involve losing Salah.

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

      KDB to Sterling. Keep Salah

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      same .Only way of getting sterling is if we get early team news of sterling starting and one of kdb or salah benched

    3. Euro Raiders
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Can only get Sterling if lose Salah, not sensible is it.

  25. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Doherty + Willian > Pieters + Son -4?

    Henderson
    TAA Egan Pieters
    Sterling(C) Son Fernandes Dilva Pulisic
    Jesus Rashford

    Nyland DCL Lundstram Aarons

  26. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who is most nailed out of the sub 4.5m Burnley defenders?

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

      Bardsley, Long and Pieters

      1. Jimmy Boy
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers pal, I know those three are most likely to start but just wondering if anyone was itk about potential final-day rotation risks.

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          They don't have enough players for anyone to be a rotation risk.

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

          They have no players available that can step in. Plus the team is trying to secure the golden glove for Pope so I doubt they’ll rotate.

    2. El Guasón
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bardsley

  27. Vazza
    • 3 Years

    Reposting. Please help out guys.
