Mini League Mate

Fantasy Football Scout partners with Mini League Mate for 2020/21

We’re delighted to announce a new arrival to the Scout Network today, in the form of Mini-League Mate, a smart new service designed to make the most of any Fantasy Premier League mini-league.

Established by the Fantasy-obsessed Jory brothers, the service provides an invaluable weekly update on all the vital data, points and bragging rights delivered directly to the mailboxes of every manager in your mini-league.

It’s split into two parts – the first being ‘The Deadline Day’ mail, which is sent straight after the deadline ahead of the kick-off and allows you to easily see exactly how the different teams in your mini-league are lining up, including interesting data such as most transferred in/out, most captained and average starting XI/formation.

Then, once the last ball has been kicked in anger, you get the real meat in the form of ‘The Dossier’, a stat-packed breakdown that not only allows you to easily see whose captain pick came off (and who chose very poorly) but actually provides an insightful tool to plot the coming week, identify differentials and hopefully overhaul your opponents.

More specifically, this means charts and statistics detailing: Leaderboard Deep-Dive, Mini-League vs the World, Points Breakdown, Manager of the Week, Biggest Riser and Faller, Best Players in League this Gameweek, Best and Worst Transfers Made, Bandwagons, Squad Value Tracker, Chips Tracker and the Mini-League Template Team.

You’ll also be provided with some fun awards to aid social-bragging rights, including the desirable ‘On a Hot Streak’ and ‘The Maverick’, as well as the slightly less sought-after ‘Lord of the Dullards’.

Crucially, only one person in the mini-league needs to register and then share the relevant link with everyone (or, as some people are doing, choose not to share and keep all the insights for yourself!)

Want to give it a go?

There are multiple packages on offer, ranging from £1 a week for the basic Deadline Day service to the ultimate ‘Sheikh’ option for personal treatment, but our recommendation is the ‘Set and Forget’ – offering the best value deal for the whole season as a one-off fee of £19 (N.B. they have just moved to Patreon and so are still working out the kinks, but as outlined in the description, you will only be charged once if you went for this!)

To check it out, simply click the link here and don’t forget to mention ‘FFS’ as the place you found out.


What the makers say

Mini League Mate’s founder, Logan Jory, explains his inspiration:

For one of my mini-leagues, we used to have stats and awards on our Gameweek in an Excel sheet with all our faces superimposed on real Premier League managers’ bodies, which provided so much entertainment on our WhatsApp group that we thought other people would surely enjoy this type of companion service.

To us, Mini League Mate is a social and fun service at its core. There are plenty of tools and articles out there for an FPL manager to use to make more informed picks (like the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area), but we wanted to enhance the fun, rivalry side of the game that we love – partly because we aren’t particularly good managers!

    McCarthy
    TAA Robertson Walker- Peters Davis
    Auba Mane Saka ASM Son
    Werner

    Nyland, Mitchell, Wickham, Davis,

    Is it worth a -4 Gameweek 1
    Auba & Son out
    KDB & Fernandes in

    Iv got 1 million in the bank and can’t afford the moves if they price move

    1. MrCloppity
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I meant Gameweek 2

  2. FantasyHero
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A. Davies & DCL
    B. Doherty & Mitro

    And why?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B
      Doherty offers both attacking and clean sheet potential.
      Mitro has penalties.

    2. Werner Bremen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B. Doherty > Davies
      Mitro > DCL

      1. Thinkering like a Boss

        so A

        1. thepeen555
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Lol

  3. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How did I not know about the KWP Dallas rotation, sorted!

    A. Ayling
    B. Dallas?

    1. Bambi
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      KWP and C.Taylor rotation is nice too

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not GW2

        1. Bambi
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          to answer your original question - I prefer Dallas - I can see him playing every minute this season, some games in midfield too and some maybe right wing. He had better underlying attacking stats last year (source: whoscored):

      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

  4. Bambi
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else going for Son and keeping 1.5 in the bank for Bruno GW2?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Lots

    2. Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I am....but i think that Son is not place holder, so i will give him some time

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, me!

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Camzy will tell you Son is not a placeholder 🙂

      (Lots of people are. It's template i guess)

      1. Bambi
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        the way I see it is that if Son isn't a placeholder then most will have Salah and Auba who could also make way - better to be in a scenario with more options

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yes Bambi
          You're right. I have Salah as Bruno placeholder

      2. Z
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He is not

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Hi CamZy 🙂

      3. Pinturicchio10
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Any player can be a placeholder if one wishes them to be. Dont want Son, but target player has a blank and Son is getting sold no matter what he does in gw1, then Son is a placeholder.

      4. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Personally think Salah to Bruno + 1.5m is better in GW2.

    5. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone going Ferguson over Mitchell?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, just in case the WC button isn't hit after GW4.

      2. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Na but don't think either will play to be honest

      3. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, I’m sticking him on the end of my bench in anticipation of him taking Wards spot when he’s fit.

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

        Hope we will get date of his return tmrw, than will decide

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

        Yes, don't need them to play at the beginning and long-term Ferguson has bigger chance of playing

    6. adstomko
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Which pair?

      A) McCarthy & Egan
      B) Ramsdale & KWP

      1. Werner Bremen
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'm on B

      2. Dosh
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I've gone Ramsdale and Bertrand

      3. Dosh
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        A

    7. Arsenal USA FC
      • 11 Years

      Adams Werner Mitrovic

    8. The Frenchie
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What do you think guys?

      McCarthy
      Alexander-Arnold / Robertson / Van Dijk / Walker-Peters
      Aubameyang (c) / Son / Havertz
      Werner / Calvert-Levin / Adams

      GW2
      In: Bruno Fernandes / De Bruyne
      Out: Aubameyang / Son

      1. Werner Bremen
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Why would you get Auba out when he playa WH at home? Even for a hit...
        You can get KDB GW3

        1. The Frenchie
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I’m scare of a price change..

          I don’t know if KDB and Bruno Fernandes can get more expensive without playing but with many new owners..

          1. MrCloppity
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Iv got the same problem and am thinking the same

    9. MoSalalalalalalalalah
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Steer clear of Shelvey because of injury doubts and revert back to ASM?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Just the first four words will do.

        1. MoSalalalalalalalalah
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Their stats last season are almost the same actually, Shelvey's might even be better

    10. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Better pair:

      a) Saiss + Davies (442)
      b) KWP + Mitrović (343)

      1. BucketHead
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        B

      2. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        B

    11. ZTF
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      McCarthy (Nyland)
      Justin TAA Davies Ampadu (C.Taylor)
      ASM Salah Auba (C) Son (Fernandes)
      Mitrovic Brewster (Watkins)

      Thoughts on this lot

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Different

    12. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Any ideas of how to alter my template team for the better?

      McCarthy
      Trent - Justin - Mitchell
      Auba - Salah - Son - Soucek
      Werner - Ings - Mitrovic

      Subs: Nyland - Gordon - Taylor - Vinagre

    13. Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It is just my opinion, but i think that most of people are overtinking about Manchester clubs. I will not make any transfers until GW3, then i ll (mby) make 2 free transfers.
      This season there are simply too much good playera and we cant get them all

    14. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Should Fabio Silva get plenty of game time, early subs and cameos I am expecting.

      I am wanting a bench striker that should get minutes

      1. ritzyd
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Better to find the extra 0.5m and take one of them imo

    15. JoelyG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sorry for repost!
      Main Q for me is Son worth extra mil over Alli?
      Antonio worth a 1 week punt vs New?

      GTG?

      3m itb

      McCarthy
      TAA Egan Justin Davies
      Salah ASM Alli Auba
      Antonio Werner

      (Biss, Brewster, Ferguson)

      Plan is GW2 Salah to Bruno and maybe Antonio to Martial (or whoever is hot)
      Having money itb means I can upgrade ASM to 7.5 in future.

      Thanks

      1. Z
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        3M itb is waste....just my opinion

    16. BucketHead
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A. Soucek with a 4.5 Def
      B. Belerin with a 4.5 mid

      ??

    17. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Just waiting for ASM to sleepwalk overnight and fall down the stairs. The 5.x mids are a total mess...

    18. juanmata8
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A. Robertson Werner Richarlison
      B. Ings Jimenez TAA

      What do you guys think?

      1. Z
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I think that TAA is crucial

        Brighton

      3. lugs
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        with Berge probably out, you could do worse than a punt on Ampadu

    22. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Best 5.0m def
      Saiss/Coady/Egan/Shaw/anyother?

          2. Amey
            • 5 Years

            Saiss but i don't like Marcal presence now

            1. Eleven Hag
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              What do you think about Vinagre's status at the club?

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Nuno press would help us a lot bro.
                I have no idea what's going on there. Hopefully he'll address that

                1. Eleven Hag
                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

      2. Z

        3 years, 6 months ago

        Dier and Egan (mby even Coleman)

      3. BucketHead
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Belerin?

    23. Captain_Shirokov
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A) Egan, ASM, Wilson
      or
      B) Mitchell, Havertz, Davis

      Thoughts?

    24. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Keane + McCarthy

      Pickford (I know) + KWP

      Which one? Backing Everton to keep clean sheets with Doucoure and Allan helping secure the defense.

      1. Better Call Paul
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The second I prefer even if it’s a more rogue pick

        Pickford is predicted to have a great few GWs ahead to

        1. Flair
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          What's the prediction calculator? Could definitely pick up save points and BPS.

      2. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        B - Keane not nailed

        1. Flair
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Why's that? Holgate is injured.

    25. jam sandwich
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      try a find a hole in this:

      McCarthy - Nyland
      TAA - Dier - Saiss - Justin - Ferguson
      Salah - Auba - Son - ASM - Bissouma
      Werner - DCL - Adams

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Looks strong...

        Saiss not nailed now with Marcel though

        1. Better Call Paul
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Saïss will start

    26. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thoughts?

      McCarthy - Nyland
      Trent - Digne - Dier - Vinagre - Justin
      Auba - H.Barnes - Pereira - Podence - Reed
      Kane - Werner - Ings*

      *1 week placeholder for Martial

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

        Think Son & 7m striker is better than Podence & Kane

        1. Coys96
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I like Mitro for 6 so it would be Kane & Reed or Son & Mitro

      2. Z
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Mid is too week for my taste.
        I personaly like very much Barnes

    27. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Tuning back in I find the group think about double Chelsea a touch scary.

      Brighton have had a great window by doing not very much at all and are a settled side. Chelsea are in complete flux and no one has a clue really about who plays. Zero preseason messed up by COVID quarantine and IB. Aren’t Liverpool rather handy in defence?

      What’s going on?

      1. Bambi
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I think part of the appeal of Werner is the ability to easily get Martial. Havertz/Pullisic can easily go down to emerging bandwagons too. Wouldnt double up though

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        People are going mad. Let them.
        I'm on my Pulisc 🙂

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Omg I want Pulisic too

        I understand having Werner but not the mids. So much doubt re game time, positions etc. Gw3 for a mid imo.

      I'm not seeing Reece James in many drafts...is the consensus around here that he's not going to start much?

      FPL black box has almost 3K subscribers with only 2 videos. Wow. With the third one upcoming they might go easily to 10K
