Fantasy Football Scout has been voted as the ‘best editorial’ in Fantasy Football for 2020.

That’s according to the Football Content Awards who revealed the results at a virtual ceremony on Tuesday, December 8.

The competition in our category was fierce with Athletic columnist FPL General, Premier Injuries’ Ben Dinnery, Fantasy Football Fix and Fantasy Football Hub.

Delighted Fantasy Football Scout editor David Munday said: “It is a great honour to receive this award.

“FFS is dedicated to providing high-quality, industry-leading content for Fantasy managers worldwide and it is wonderful to see that recognised by the football community.

“I would like to thank our incredible roster of contributors who regularly submit insightful articles as well as my hard-working deputy editor Neale Rigg. I strongly believe his Kanté-esque graft in midfield is the secret to our success.

“And, of course, full credit goes out to our readers and members who make all of this possible with their unerring support to FFS.”

        5 years, 4 hours ago

        No - that's not an issue now. The WHam WBrom game is moved because of the FA Cup

        1. Jimmers

          • 15 Years
          5 years, 3 hours ago

    Bruno being sold in masses

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 hours ago

      Hmm why?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 hours ago

        No idea

        1. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 hours ago

          Weird. Maybe the subbing is the reason

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years

      Madnesses

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 hours ago

      To make way for Salah.

    4. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 hours ago

      For salah?

  3. Rassi
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 hours ago

    Yay

  4. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 hours ago

    Rich -> Bamford for free?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 hours ago

      Why not

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 hours ago

        Other option just to save a transfer. Won't be using that spare cash for anything.

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Yip

  5. Drogba Legend
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 hours ago

    which 2-3 players to drop to get Salah in?

    Mendy
    Chill - Robbo - Dallas - Dias
    KDB (C) - Son - Grealish
    Kane - DCL - Bam

    Steer - Ziyech* - Stephens* - Douglas*

    A) Kane + Ziy > Salah + 7.2 FWD (Wilson, Giroud, etc)
    B) Son + Ziy > Salah + 5.7 mid
    C) KDB > Salah and then get KDB back next week somehow
    D) DCL + Son + Ziy > Salah + Wilson + 6.9 mid (Mount?)
    E) Something else?

    Cheers!

    1. White Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 hours ago

      Personally I'd remove Kane & Ziyech. Team would be delicious. Shame the bench is an absolute state!

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Similar position to me.

      Robbo/ziyech

  6. Nespinha
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 hours ago

    Mccarthy
    Bellerin, James, Robbo
    Grealish, KDB, Bruno, Son, Podence
    DCL, werner

    Subs: KWP + fodder

    A) Robbo Son - - - Dallas Salah
    B) Bellerin Son DCL - - - Dallas Salah Adams - 4
    C) Robbo Grealish DCL - - - Dallas Salah Bamford - 4

    Worth it to get Salah in?

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Not for me

  7. Fat Frank
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 hours ago

    Really wish I had money ITB to do Sterling to Salah this week, would save me a lot of headaches!

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 hours ago

      I bet!

    2. Sloane426
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 hours ago

      We’re similar rank and team. Could have done de Bruyne > Salah for free but went with Kane + Jota > Bamford + Salah -4 instead.

    3. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Surely a hit is worth it?

    1. luk46
      • 7 Years

      B

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years

      Salah

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 3 hours ago

        Ha, pretty much comes down to that right?
        Disappointing to lose grealish but think it's my only option

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 hours ago

          Yeah. I’m likely losing Kane, see below. But Salah seems a must over this period

    3. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Probably going with B, Werner and Grealish to Watkins and Salah

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      B

      Nice! Rests for James and Chillwell

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 hours ago

        and zouma

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 hours ago

          Indeed! Think I just said those two as they’re in my squad 🙂

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      If only slavkob agreed to my bet. I'd have a kidney to sell.

  11. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 hours ago

    Prices aside, if you had to choose a pairing:
    a) Bruno + Mahrez
    b) KDB + Rashford

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 hours ago

      Man that is hard. Have to say B

    2. luk46
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      has to be B

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      B

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years

      B - nailed

    5. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      B

  12. luk46
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 hours ago

    Ziyech Kane > Salah Bamford for -4 a no brainer, right?

    I would have no Spurs cover then, but feel like they wont score loads in the next few anyway...

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      See below. Sees the best route to get Salah

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 hours ago

        Seems*

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Yes

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Yeah

    4. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      I'd go Wilson over Bamford myself. Kane could easily outscore Salah, too...!

      1. luk46
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 hours ago

        tough one imo, situation at Newcastle could go either way tbf + Leeds are a much better attacking side

    5. luk46
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 hours ago

      Thanks guys, feel even safer about it now!

  13. fc_skrald
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 hours ago

    The 3 players I never owned but maybe should have owned this season are all forwards. Will probably continue avoiding them...
    Kane
    DCL
    Vardy

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      First two have been exceptional for me

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Vardy
      Bamford
      Bruno

      For me..

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 hours ago

    So, Kane+Ziyech >> Bamford/Wilson+Salah for a -4? Only option I see. 0itb, 1FT.

    McCarthy
    James, Chilwell, Cresswell
    KDB, Bruno, Ziyech*, Jota, Grealish
    Kane, DCL
    (4.0, Justin, Mitchell, Davis**)

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Yes

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Yes. Bamford for me.

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Yep. You get to keep grealish which is good!

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 hours ago

        Yeah. Shame you have to lose him but guessing it’s your only route

    4. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Though to sell Kane but I think those are your best moves to get Salah in.

    5. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Yeah. Sound decent. Hard to lose Kane, but I did the same.

    6. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Yip

  15. Rover
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 hours ago

    What is the best route to fund Salah?

    A) Jimenez to Wilson (if Newcastle games go ahead)
    B) Jimenez to Welbeck
    C) Vardy to Ings
    D) Jota to Neto

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      A could be great.

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      A

  16. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 hours ago

    I have really stepped up on my captaincy points!

    (Captain points) 208 / (Total points) 662 = 31,4%

    The total score points ain't too impressive tho X)

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      only 152 points for me as I had a shocking first 4GWs where I failed to get a single captain goal. Since then only had one fail

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 hours ago

        156 infact*

  17. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 hours ago

    Need to shave off 0.3 somewhere to get me Salah in but where to downgrade?

    Martinez
    Cancelo Dias Chilwell
    KDB Jota Bruno Grealish Salah
    DCL Watkins

    Forster Coufal Kilman Brewster

    a) DCL to Bamford
    b) Cancelo to Ayling
    c) Kilman to 3.9 fodder

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      C

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      B with Dallas, or C

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      A

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      B possible with James over Ayling?

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 hours ago

        0.1 short, could get James in next week if I go with C though

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 hours ago

          What about Dier?
          4 clean sheets for Spurs in a row. That includes City, Chelsea and Arsenal(lol).

          1. Gazza2000
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 hours ago

            Would like to have some attacking threat from my defenders though, rather have James next week

            1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 3 hours ago

              I see. The only reason why I don't like C is because I believe it will be important to have a decent bench. But go with your guts!

    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 hours ago

    Seems sooooo wrong selling Vardy before Brighton 🙁

    Jota➡️Salah
    Vardy➡️Brewster - 4

    (have Kdb/Bruno/Grealish/Neto)

    Leaves me 1.2itb but will only Dallas as a playing sub...

    Is it really worth it???

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Felt the same, but Salah(c) is a must

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Same with Kane below. But need Salah

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 hours ago

        Above, sorry

        1. camarozz
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 hours ago

          Wats yer benches like?

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 hours ago

            Team is above. Justin & Mitchell subs. Will WC in 16

    3. Footieboot
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Personally not doing it. Need to sacrifice Vardy and Son to get Salah as well as a -4 on top of that. Does not feel right.

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 hours ago

        You have Jota?

      2. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 hours ago

        I am turning to this decision?

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Can't you keep Jota and dump Neto instead? Ditching Jota against Fulham could be awful too.

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 hours ago

        O.1 short of Neto out instead damn it! Of course if I did it last nite could have.

  20. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 hours ago

    What to do? 0.1 ITB & 1 FT

    McCarthy
    Robertson - Chilwell - Lamptey
    (K)DB - Fernandes - Son - Grealish - Bowen
    Vardy - Bamford

    (Martínez, Cresswell, Brewster, Mitchell)

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Prolly nothing this week tbh.. Maybe Hokey Cokey with KDB to Salah. Then Vardy + Son to Watkins/Wilson + KDB next week

  21. Slitherene
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 hours ago

    Which option scores more this week?

    A) Robertson, Soucek, Richarlison
    B) Ayling, Salah, Wilson

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Salah outscores the other three by himself

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      Very difficult to predict. B for me.

  24. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 12 Years

    Curious to today's Telles performance OOP, doubt he would continue to be deployed as a winger

  25. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 3 hours ago

    Would love it if Bruno drops in price before deadline. Wow that's crazy. -64.3%.

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 hours ago

      No it's +64.3

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 3 hours ago

        Ah I misread. Oh well. Not gonna happen. But at least he won't go up! I can get him next week at 10.9m.

        1. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 hours ago

          Yes this is true

      Absolutely yes. Do you have to do a hit or two...not that I think that would matter in the long term.

        I have 2 ft and it would require a couple hits. Problem is Ziyech is losing value and Salah gaining...so tomorrow I might not be able to do this fund wise. Long term, I think having potentially the top 5 scorers over the season should negate the hit. I am trying to make up some ground in my mini league and looking at the other teams, no one will be able to come close to fielding such a roster until WC time...which by them price changes may not allow them to do it.

      Upgrade Mitchell if you don't want to burn a transfer or transfer Cancelo to a Pool defender.

      1. MoSalalalalalalalalah

        5 years, 3 hours ago

        Could do both, who's the best Mitchell upgrade?

        1. MoSalalalalalalalalah
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 hours ago

          Could do Matip for Cancelo

            Yeah why not.

    I need Salah, and I'm a bit short on funds.

      Apparently, Grealish has a twin. Disregard the second one!

    "We'll play the game to win, I don't rotate the team," said Guardiola.

    1. JBG

      Sterling 90mins confirmed.

      He's just saying that because he's too proud to admit it. If he plays main players tomorrow then I'm officially labelling him as a mediocre manager who can't win Champions League without Messi

      I’ve never thought he does...not rotating for the sake of rotating anyway. If players look fit and sharp they play is how I’ve always thought of it. I also think Whalen a player looks jaded he keeps them out of the firing like for longer than other managers, hence the likes of Sterling disappear for a few games, not just rested for one.
