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

          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Then just get Williams as a back-up. Or do you think they will be subbed on?

            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I think if Williams struggles against Ritchie or saint maxim they will defo come on.

    Not a clue where to use the FT, only thing i can think of is maybe Henderson out for someone? Martinez?

    Not changing the mids at all, any ideas here welcome, thanks.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Aaaaaaanybody

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

      It's tricky tbh
      I'd want one spurs attacker vs hapless Palace. But you can't afford without a hit

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah true cheers Amey! I’m not too keen on Spurs anyhow tbh, don’t expect them to thrash palace.

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

          Maybe early news can throw up something. GL !

      Great non-FH team, think you could just sit back and enjoy. Wait for TAA news maybe..

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Good advice to be fair, think i’ll just wait

    4. Charan77
      • 7 Years

      Henderson to pope

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah a GK move could be the only rhing on the cards here

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

    who would you prefer on a FH

    1) Auba or Kane...assuming no other tot or ars attacker
    2) Antonio or Ings.....or both at the cost of dropping a utd attacker
    3) Aurier/Jesus or Robbo/Mahrez

  5. Lignja
    • 6 Years

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

    Anyone feeling a bit of a punt on Rico this week?

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years

      My punt is Dawson 😉

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

        Cool

    2. The Ejiptian King

      I'd rather someone punted me in the groin.

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

        Haha

    5. Stef rocks
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I am to be honest. With my FH front 7 I don’t have much cash left for defense so he is definitely a good option since I don’t want to go triple Burnley (2 is enough).

      I am also considering Walker-Pieters for 4.4

  7. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking if going for Salah/Mané double up. If TAA/Robbo don't start, that's too risky? Less creativity right?

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

      could work

    2. Sir Edo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Do you really think they both miss out?

      1. Sir Edo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Really want both myself on Free Hit..

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

      why would Robbo not start?

    4. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Could be, but Salah scored 18 in the Brighton game that Neco Williams started.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        OK, good point. Cheers

    5. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years

      @anfieldwatch on twitter has milner LB and Williams RB.
      Not sure how accurate it is, just got me thinking

  8. timawflowers
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is a 12pt hit too much if it gets me kane and auba?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah i’d say so, quite easily both could not perform

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

      yes

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

        Thanks both. Last question then. To get kane in I need to take out taa (pieters) or martial (antonio)

        1. Poison Apple
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Ant for me

          1. timawflowers
            • 6 Years

            thank you

    3. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Way too much

    4. Stef rocks
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      For 1 week yes it is!

    5. Charan77
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Also depends on where u r in your ml

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

      Unless you're doing well in a cash ML or defending a decent rank I say go for it.

      I took a -12 last GW and got 109 pts so it can work.

    Robertson Mahrez

      Salah Jesus Dilva

      3 years, 8 months ago

      B easily

  15. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Was at 33k midway through GW 33+ then Kane happened 2 GWs in a row and dropped to 142k. Now back to 66k and thinking of captaining Kane on FH.

    I never learn.

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

    4 with Kane instead of Auba

  17. AzzaroMax99

      B

    3. Salah’s Sonnet

      Neither, he’s not worth it imo

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

        B out of those if you really want him which I understand

    4. Johnny 8

    Any of you going to set your team and ignore team news?

    I’m going to set my team up well In advance that I’m happy with but I’ll def be looking for team news and trueing to update last minute!

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

      I was just thinking about doing the same. Any team news would involve me taking a hit and that just seems to be asking for trouble. Might just set it and switch off until kick off

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

        I think that makes sense in your position.

        For those of us on FH it’s hard not to look out for the the team news

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

          True. On a free hit that team news will be valuable.

  20. Magic Zico

    Final mid Grealish Antonio or Pulisic?

    1. EmreCan Hustle

      Antonio

    2. Amey

      Pulisic

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

    Wow,wanted to bet on Dilva anytime goalscorer 3.10 yesterday i see today odds 1.66?

    Hmm maybe all team will work for him to score

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

      Watch him get a red card

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

      No chance it’s 1.66

      You can get 3 on Betfair now despite their being no liquidity

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

        Yes no value in anytime scorer bets,just for fun.

        But i think at 3.00 it is good value now

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

        Don't you think they manipulate these according to money incoming ??
        So should we really consider this for FPL thinking ??
        Genuinely asking

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

          I use odds to pick my captain sometimes esp the 2 or more goals market

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

            Okay

    4. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years

      wow you are right Yesterday the odds were much longer!

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

        bet365 has shortened massively

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

      I am on bet365 wonder why they slashed his price...almost same as Sterling

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

        Sterling 1.66 too*

        1. BrutalLogiC
          • 8 Years

          owner pocketed like 300m last year, she knows

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

          hes shorter than Kane and Salah and Auba. And shorted to score 2 or more. Mad

  22. Max City
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus or KDB?

  23. Eastman
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Most nailed City defender out of
    A. Walker
    B. Mendy
    C. Ota

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

    Players are to scared of hits. I've taken 6 hits since restart, I have gone from a low of 97k to a high of 9k within this time, I've taken 3 of these hits, 3 weeks in a row, in the last 3 weeks and gone from 60k to 9k. Don't be scared of hits 🙂

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

      Hits can be great - I rarely seem to have success from
      Them though 🙁

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ruth_NZ did a great piece on taking hits in GW38 a few years ago - someone may still have the link.

    3. DAVESAVES
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Just cant decide between Salah, Vardy > Sterling, Kane-4 or Bruno, Vardy > Sterling, Ings-4

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years

      Your teams are too similar, so make the transfers where they likely to make a larger difference with a bigger upside: i.e. midfield or attack. Try to anticipate what he might do and do the opposite.
      Of your four options it would be c) followed by d) for me

      KDB to Salah.

      You need to chase and not going to happen with the same midfield.
