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

    Who will score the most points -

    A. VVD
    B. Digne
    C. Aurier
    D. Dunk
    E. Bertrand

    1. beric
      • 12 Years

      Hopefully C

    2. dunas_dog

      A - can see him getting header against weakened Newcastle defence

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

        Hmmm could well be.

        Would you prefer VVD with Dilva or Aurier with Mahrez?

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

          That makes it difficult as like Mahrez if starts over DSilva. I would go Mahrez Aurier in that case

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

            Cheers well at least I'm down to 2 options and can wait for team news.

    3. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years

      B I think

    G2g now ??

    Martinez
    Pieters tarkowski aurier
    Salah kdb sterling dilva antonio
    Kane ings ?

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

      Nothing to object too here if you’ve fully used your budget. Good team. Good luck,

  3. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How’s this looking?

    Pope
    TAA, Aurier, Pieters
    Salah, KDB, Sterling, DSilva, Son/Fernandes
    Ings, Greenwood

    An alternative is Kane & Mahrez over KDB & Son/Fernandes

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

      That’s a perfect team.

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

        Thanks! Got a preference for Son or Fernandes?

        1. TIME TO VARTY
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          son over Fern

    2. TIME TO VARTY
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I like Kane and Mahrez

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

        Ye I’m really really tempted

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

          No way! KDB and Son are definitely better options.

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Very standard. Would go Son over Fernandes.

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

        I’m happy with standard - just trying to hold onto a small ML league. My overall rank is just poor / meh.

        Fernandes hasn’t blanked away all season though...

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

    A) 2 x Burnley defenders, Robbo, Son, Martial, Ings
    or
    B) 3 x Burnley defenders, Moura, Auba, Jesus

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

      A

    2. TIME TO VARTY
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A just

  5. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts here with 2 FTs?

    Pope Hendo
    TAA Doherty Gomez Long Taylor
    Salah Raz Bruno Mahrez Foden
    Rashford DCL Greenwood

    0.1 ITB

    A. Foden + Doherty > Dilva + 4.5
    B. Foden + TAA > Dilva + 5.6 def
    C. Mahrez + DCL > Soucek + Jesus
    D. Salah + Foden > Son + Dilva

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

      A

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

      Using FT'S to swap City assets looks risky to me tbh.

      If you're adamant on getting Dilva, A looks safe.
      If not & ready to play whatever City you have (what I'd suggest)
      Bruno Rashford >> Ings Son for me

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Wait for lineups and B with Aurier if he's benched

    4. TIME TO VARTY
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A or B

  6. Dichio24
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A: Salah and D Silva
    or
    B: Sterling and Bruno

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

      A

      1. brendanlim92
        • 10 Years

        A

    2. beric

      3 years, 8 months ago

      B

    3. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling + Dilva possible?

      If not then A

      1. TIME TO VARTY
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        this

      2. Dichio24
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That would involve a -4

  7. Malkmus

    A'noon. Any thoughts on this? 1FT, 1.9 ITB. Current Tm:

    Pope (Martin)
    TTA - Tarko - Docherty
    KDB - Salah - Bruno - Martial
    Ings - Vardy - Mason

    subs - kiko, guendouzi, Robinson

    A - Vardy to Kane or
    B - Vardy to Kane and Bruno to Dilva (-4)
    C - Vardy to Kane and Salah to Sterling (-4)
    D - Vardy to Jesus and Bruno to Dilva (-4)
    E - other

  10. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    It's come down to Antonio vs Ings.. who would you prefer. Leaning Ings since he has something to play for(golden boot) and
    Antonio is playing vs a team that has everything to play for. Not sure though

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

      Ings for the reasons stated

    2. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd go for Ings for that reasoning too

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers both. Ings it is

    4. Amey

    Where do we all think the highest ranked zombie/set and forget team will be ranked? @FplStatistics is announcing it tonight
    Surely can't be higher than 25k or around that?

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

      Top 1k

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Could easily be in the top 10K

    3. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Someone posted a GW1 set+forget that would be OR1 on the subreddit.
      I reckon one might sneak into top 10k

    4. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It wouldn't surprise me if there was still one or two still lurking in the top 10k somewhere.

      Can't wait to see that team as it is always a humbling experience seeing a ghost ship doing better.

      1. Super Frank8
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        It always enrages me when i see them doing better. All the time spent...

    5. Forza

      Hopefully Sharon made her big comeback.

    6. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Top1k I reckon

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

    A) KDB & Bruno -> Sterling(c) & Dilva -4
    Or
    B) Bruno -> Mahrez

    Second one with Salah as (c)

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

      If holding position then A but if chasing go with B

      1. Super Frank8
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Agree with this

      2. Ganso
        • 7 Years

        Thanks very much for the replies. Yes, I’m trying to hold position. 15 points ahead

    Would you prefer:

    (B) Kane

    1. Super Frank8
      • 8 Years

      A. Don't see Kane performing as well as everybody suggests

    Would you do any of these downgrades(?) To take advantage of Newcastle inability to defend Ariel duels ??

    A. Robbo to VVD (Tallest guy on field)
    B. Salah to Mane (Way better header of ball & natural target for those juicy Taa crosses)

    1. brendanlim92
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No budget for TAA?

      1. Amey

        Have Taa buddy

        1. brendanlim92
          • 10 Years

          Would prefer A

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

            I can afford all of them.
            Just if we can take advantage of their goal threat is the question.

            Thanks mate 🙂

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

        Currently on pool triple up. Will stay that way. Just thinking about if can change the players

        1. No Salah
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Please suggest on my team as well, I’m having to go 4-4-2 due to pool and city triple up due to budget.

          Pope
          TAA Robbo Aurier Pieters
          Sterling Mahrez Dilva Salah
          Kane Ings

          3.9 Greenwood 4.3 4.0

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

            We're same team except Son KDB for me & Kane Mahrez for you.
            Play Greenwood & bench Peiters.

            It's easy to get carried away by his price, he is Most inform striker after Restart !

            1. No Salah
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              That’s a good suggestion. On FH I’m chasing 17 points in ML, he has Greenwood. I need to differentiate myself.

              What is your thoughts on Trezeguet instead of Greenwood?

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

                Like it mate. Villa needs point.

              2. No Salah
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Having said that he is probably gonna bench Greenwood and play Pulisic

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

      I would not

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

        Okay ..
        Thanks mate ..
        You prefer open play goals then 😀

    3. TheDragon
      • 5 Years

      Those are all coin flips - I’d prob do the VVD one

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

        He hasn't scored for long. Shall we apply due theory ? 😉

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years

          Ye sure.. it is GW38 after all 🙂

    4. TIME TO VARTY

      Maybe B is best as he can do it all . Salah will get a pen now.

  18. Strchld
    • 7 Years

    I think its finally ready. Anything you would change?

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

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

    1. TheDragon

      You are ready ... until team news!

      not sure about KDB over Mane/Salah, think I prefer Mane on ownership

    People that follow the championship, any players worth looking into for next season?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ask after 4th August when 3rd side is decided

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

      Leeds Bamford apparently

  20. George James
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which scores more

    A) Bruno + Doherty + 4 points

    B) Salah + Pieters

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years

    Any thoughts here?

    Pope
    VVD/Tarkowski/Fredericks
    Martial/Foden/Sterling/Fernandes/Stanislas
    Ings/Jesus

    McCarthy King/Boly/Taylor
    1ft 1.3itb

    a)Foden+Fernandes->DSilva+Antonio
    b)Foden+Boly->DSilva+Williams
    c)something else

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

    VVD and Silva or Aurier and Mahrez?

    Its pouring it down in Nottingham. Notts County just turned the sprinklers on in the Barnet end at half time and swept water back onto the pitch....

      Home game advantage.

        • 12 Years

        Theres a line, and they crossed it

    2. Dynamic Duos

      Love this

    Any United fans know if Shaw will be back?

    Would love Williams to be starting

  25. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years

    Keep Vardy or Rashford?

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

      Vardy, coz he is on all Pens. Rashford, only next pen.

  26. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Final decision. Which scores more

    A) KDB & Fernandes
    B) KDB & Son
    C) Kane & Mahrez

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

      B
      I'm biased

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

      C

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      C

    4. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably C

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

      C is unanimous

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

      Thanks all I like C provided Mahrez starts

      I’m not feeling great about not having KDB & Fernandes though as they’ve been great for me this season

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

        Not recently though have they?

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

          No but form is temporary class is permanent and all that

  27. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you play out of:

    a/ Egan
    b/ Saka
    c/ B Williams

    Saka seems the obvious choice, just concerned he won't start after being subbed off early in the last game.

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

      Saka without a doubt

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

      Thanks

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

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

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

      A

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

    Is it risky having no Burnley defender on your team? I'm thinking of starting with TAA, VVD, and Tierney/Digne.

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

      Burnley defender enablers for FH teams, I'm going

      TAA Alonso and VVD/Aurier

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

      But I do have Long as 1st defender sub

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nope
      All you mentioned guys have attacking threat too alongside CS potential

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

      TAA and VVD could outscore triple Burnley.

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

    Which one-

    A. VVD
    B. Aurier

    Money no issue

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

      B

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

      Depends on rest of your defence

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

        I currently have Doherty, Pieters and TAA.

        I need to remove Doherty.
