Az joins the Fantasy Football Scout team to oversee Members content and tools

Fantasy Football Scout are delighted to announce a fresh addition to the team – or, at least, a familiar face in a new capacity.

Az Phillips is to become our Membership Strategy Manager and will be working hard to make sure we continue to provide the very best content, tools and services for all Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout.

He’ll also be generally more involved with various Scout activities on the site and beyond.

Many of you will know Az from his appearances on the Scoutcast and other Fantasy Football Scout videos over the years, as well as his Pro Pundit articles.

He’s also one half of the refreshed FPL BlackBox, a Scout Network podcast in which he and Mark Sutherns look at how we can learn from our mistakes to improve as FPL managers.

Az first joined the site over 10 years ago, initially as a moderator and a community writer.

He has three top 10k overall ranks to his name in FPL, the best of which saw him finish 817th in 2017/18.

We’re delighted to welcome Az on board in a more involved role and we look forward to him helping further improve our Premium Membership offerings in the months and years ahead.

    Salah(c), Mane and Kabak tonight. What can possibly go wrong?

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years

      Neto goal, Mane YC and Salah goal.

      Why so many liverpool. You a fan?

      1. Now I'm Panicking

        No - just punted on them turning it around with nice fixtures. Worked well last week with 3 points between them.

          Salah is bound to score tonight. Can't see him blanking yet again.

            I admire your efforts to make me feel better 😉

      Given how poorly most of the other (C) options fared this week and how many people ditched Salah, a haul is on the cards. I still own him, so at least I hope that's the case.

    Think they'll ever address the Football Index partnership fiasco?

      The big broom has already come out and swept it right under the carpet. Expect it never to be spoken of again.

    Can't wait for my salah 2x2 points tonight.

    1. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      3x2 minimum 🙂

    Good man AZ best of luck with this! 🙂

    To start you off - can we get filterable FPL points, ability to select non-sequential gameweek samples, more than 10 stats in custom member tables (like the predefined tables which have >10 stats)

    Some other bits & pieces suggested below (It's nice to see that the matches screen was updated to reverse chronological order for this season - i find it a small but helpful improvement - now let's get some game changers to elevate the members area)

    https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2020/06/25/jimenez-scores-again-but-fails-to-dazzle-in-laboured-win-over-bournemouth/?hc_page=5&hc_sort_by=comment_date#hc_comment_21950962

    Some better formation analysis would also be neat, the heatmaps/average position graphs are just a bit messy/don't really do it for me

    Take some inspiration from the Football Manager interface, it's nice & clean & informative & all elements are clickable/drill downs etc!

      Thanks Maximus! Much appreciated 😀

      I'm going to be doing a full evaluation of the site and collecting comments from as many different sources as I can. Your comments, and all of those in the thread you've linked, are absolutely crucial in this, so know that I'm on the case and will add it to the data that I'm collecting about what works and what can be improved. Awesome stuff.

        Great stuff cheers AZ, looking forward to it & best of luck! 🙂

    Hey guys,

    Just wanted to say hi and I'm really happy to be part of the FFScout team where I've been knocking around for the best part of ten years now.

    As it says in this lovely article (I didn't write it for myself, honest), my role is going to have me overseeing how FFScout evolves for premium members.

    To say I'm passionate about FPL is an understatement. I believe Scout is the best tool out there for any FPL managers, but I'm aware that it can be even better. I'd love to hear your feedback on what works - and what doesn't work - and you can email me at az@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.

    I'll also be looking to find out more about what you guys all think about the various tools and offerings the members area has too, and what can be tweaked and improved to make your experiences on the site even better.

    Real privilege to be here 🙂

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Congrats Az, here's to an improved Members' section going forward 🙂 I also think it would be a good idea to get members involved more in video content that FFS produces... a way for us to feel more involved and to contribute too.

    2. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      I think an app would be epic. The mobile interface is sometimes a bit difficult for me to navigate on a small device.

      1. tbos83
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Second this. And if it could include a slicker comments system that'd be ace. Eg it updates live so you don't have to keep refreshing

      2. Delph & Safety
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        I agree. And having all the data is brilliant but it the effort of going through it and actually knowing how to find key stats puts me off.

      3. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Oh believe me, I know how great an app would be.
        It's very high on the list.

      4. Sam FPLFamily
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Fudgy, an app is definitely something that is high on the agenda, is there anything in particular that you would like to see in an app?

        1. Fudgy
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          I don't know if I've replied too late but when I use the members section on mobile and zoom out I don't see all the information on the home page and the information I see is very small. I think solving this issue with an app would be great.

      Well Done Az. Delightes for you. Love the blackbox podcast with yourself and Mark. Good luck on this venture.

      Hi Az, love your work on the Black Box and here of course! I think the Scout site can improve by updating the fixture ticker and player projections as soon as a Gameweek is finished. I find it rather slow in updating and doesn't necessarily reflect changes such as team news, injuries, etc. up until the last minute.

    6. Sam FPLFamily
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Welcome to the team Az!

      Hi

      Good job on the good job.

      Can I put something forward - just so you can reject it out of hand 🙂

      Having run a large website I understand the impetus to maintain a high flow of articles. From the user end I wonder it there may be almost too much content being produced. I spend way too much time on here and cannot keep up.I'm not suggesting here that you rein back on content but simply how it is accessed. If you're looking for something specific it's a tough navigation. Search bars etc are not an optimal solution as they rarely if ever get used.

      Is there a solution where there's a clearer distinction between match reports, weekly previews, opinion pieces etc if only on an improved drop down menu? You already have it in a modified way under the content tab over but I suspect that can be bettered.

      Good content. Format getting iffy.

    9. Trippier Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Congrats Az, an improvement I'd like to see is all articles being given more equal prominence - we don't need a separate community article section but all articles on the same article feed. Important ones could be pinned, but that way community articles get more exposure? Might also encourage more people to submit articles?

      And a resounding yes to a better comments system - maybe that isn't linked to article pages, but maybe by date or something? But that probably means more moderation....

    10. ritzyd
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Honestly thought you were already on the payroll! I would like to see an enhanced members only chat/comments section with added functionality to post pics, screenshots, etc so that we can easily discuss stats/info from the members area.

    11. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years

      Welcome Az!!

    12. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Congrats Az. One little thing I would enjoy was someone tracking how the scoutpicks would do in OR. Just adding the points each GW, including C and autosubs, and see what rank it would correlate to.

      1. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        It would win you’d think. It’s a wildcard every week.

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          Would be incredibly embarrassing if it didn't, which is probably why they wouldn't do it. That and there being little point.

    13. Rossendale Rover

      Welcome back again! Main issue from me is providing some guidance on how to make the most of the data, what’s important, what’s the key data set say for attackers(shots in box, xg involvement etc). There’s just so much data that I just don’t think I get the most out of it. Cheers!

      - Mobile app for iOS and Android

      - Notification Centre for replies to your posts comments

      - A bit controversial maybe, but a downvote/ignore button for the comments section

      I’m not a member but that’s my twopence for the general use of the site.
      If you was to add in a notification centre then the emails sent for notifications can be turned off.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        They took downvote away because we were naughty. Mods only now

    15. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Economize common comments/questions into a FAQ / metaSearch function with sort by features (member comments, ratings, key words combos) to make it easy to search comments across articles for key pieces of information. FAQ would involve promoting good questions/answers that are flagged by members as helpful and categorized by the flagger (team news, injury news, press conference. Etc)

        Oh and congrats! Glad to see you more involved.

  6. tbos83

    Based on Salah's eo will a haul do anything for non-cappers tonight?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Yes . Will help a bit. Don't have him so not going to help me much.

      1. tbos83
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Thanks. I have him but really regret not capping.

  7. richarlison2348

    30 Plus Salah (C), was almost top of my mini league but have gotten smashed down the rankings :/

    1. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      You should be in better shape later - Salah could well explode tonight

  8. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    So Fury and AJ has been confirmed, I don't think AJ stands a chance against this guy.

    1. A.J.
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      I agree.

      1. Gross Blank Point
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        I'm sure you could beat him at fpl!

    2. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Any heavyweight always has a chance. It only takes one punch.

    3. Kodap
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Disagree with this, based off their last fights. No doubts it'll be a blockbuster but I can't see it being a Fury walkover, no way.

  9. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…

    1. Hazz

      Deciding which one to avoid?

    2. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Ederson.

  10. CapK

    Appreciate any thoughts here team;

    Martinez*
    Dallas* / Dunk* / Coufal* / Ricky.P
    Gundo / Raph* / Soucek*
    Kane* (C) / Bamford* / DCL

    pope / salah / kevin / stones

    Really want shaw + chelsea double up + upgrade coufal to cresswell for GW30 on wards - Do I work towards these moves now, or
    Ricky.P > Fulham Def
    Gundo > Bale
    DCL > 3.9 Enabler

    Gives me 10 for GW29

    Thanks all!

    Would you do Gundo to Lingard for free this week?
    (Assuming Son is fit else I'll keep Gundo and sell Son)

    No WC so unlikely to get Gundo back.

    1. Christina.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Also if Son plays it means he will have to go off and captain S Korea

        Helluva call

        1. HashAttack
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          Fair play - he took a -8 to sell Brewster, Sterling and Lewis for Iheanacho, Mount and Shaw

      Cresswell. He's the one I'd want until the end of the season.

    3. djman102
      • 14 Years

      I'm bringing in Cresswell this GW, plan for the duration.

    Everyone's thoughts on Bamford playing next week?

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      If it’s confirmed a dead leg he should play so wouldn’t sell esp with s Utd the week after

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Cant wait for news - sold last night

    3. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Based on 0 information - I think he plays

    4. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      I reckon it might be more than a dead leg (based on how long he was down) and he won't play

  19. Botman and Robben

    Salah(c), time for you to find your GW1 form. 🙂

    1. FPL Daniel

    How many goals is Salah going to score tonight: 2. 3. 4 or 5 goals? He was waiting for me to sell him obviously and now he is going to explode. The question is how much?

    Put your number.

        That would be the less painful option

    2. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years

      Jota will score tonight

    3. Holmes

      -1

      45 points in 11 weeks, including the freak 15 points vs CPL - can't regret selling him whatever happens tonight

        • 5 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        What if he scores 100 goals tonight? Surely you’d regret it a bit then as you’d be 500 points behind Salah owners

    2 FT 0.7M ITB

    Ricky P > Rudiger
    Gundo > Bale
    DCL > Maja
    (-4)

    Good moves? Gets me 10 for GW29 and one Chelsea def for the run in

    1. poulteren

      Chelsea dont have a game. So surely just wait and avoid minus 4?

    2. CapK
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Ricardo is 5.9 and Rudiger is 4.6... I dont have enough cash to do just Gundo > bale & DCL > Maja

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years

        Ricardo to a Brighton def

    How long is Son out for? If its a hammy, then probably 3-4 weeks right?

    1. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Yup

    On Son: Mar 14: "I don't know how long it is. It's muscular. Muscular is usually not easy. He's normally a guy who recovers quickly."

      After what happened last time you cannot trust a single word mourinho says about injuries

      1. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        We can trust what we saw...

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years

          Yes .... unless you were hallucinating.

        He is inj. Im 100% sure

      3. WHUFCSmith23
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        If it wasn't bad, he wouldn't go off after 20 minutes in their biggest game of the season. Did even try to run off whatever muscle injury it was unlike say Bamford.

  24. Baines on Toast...

    Wondered why my selling price for son was so low then realised he actually started at 9.0. Insane.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      That seemed a lot a t the start of the season, he's never exploded like this before

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        He never used to be nailed and that was the issue, still pretty explosive but the random benchings put most of us off

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Huh?

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Umm, what?

  25. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    So if Son is indeed ruled out for a few weeks, is Bale the obvious replacement? At the moment, assuming Son doesn't play.. I'm only fielding 7 players this week, one of them being Dier who lets be honest is most likely not going to play either. What is my best move here? I've got 5.8m in the bank and 2FT. Thinking about doing Dier > Dallas & Son > Bale so I can at least field 8 players. Thoughts?

    Martinez
    Coufal - Dier - Dias
    Son - Gundo - Soucek - Raphina
    DCL - Kane - Bamford

    Bench: Areola - Shaw - Stones - Salah

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Similar situation, bale vs auba is the big question

      1. Kodap
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Do you trust Auba to start after this weekend?

        1. TheBiffas
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          If he was only benched because he was late then yeah probably

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Not the obvious choice no

    3. CapK
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Dont overthink it - Son > bale and then you also have Bale for Newcastle the week after and potential of DGW in 33 etc

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        nothing is guaranteed with bale

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          Laziness? Good volume on his man bun? A tee time arranged an hour after match?

          Almost guaranteed?

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Bale or Moura, which one do you prefer? GW30 NEW away

  26. El_Gigante
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    What's the obvious moves here? One of the City defenders to Cresswell or Dallas?

    Martinez
    Konsa, White
    Raphinha (vc), Lingard
    Kane (c), Watkins

    Forster; Cancelo, Dias, Digne, Gundo, Fernandes, DCL, Salah

    2FT, 0.8itb

    1. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Dallas if he gets through the next game and international break uninjured has a nice fixture in 30. If you are wildcarding in 31. He seems the safest pick. If no wildcard then Cresswell if those are your 2 options.

    Seems that it's going to be a painful GW next one. A game on Friday, a game on Saturday and two on Sunday ... imagine a sizeable red arrow on day one then the agony to wait for the captain to save the GW! Love and hate FPL.

    Best defender to bring in bgw29? Only have Coufal at the moment.

    1) Dunk
    2) Veltman
    3) Dallas

    Evening all!!! Currently on this for this coming gameweek with my 2 free transfers... anyone with a -4??? Bale?? Or someone else....
    Martinez and Arealo
    Cresswell Dallas Konsa
    Lingard Raphinha Grealish
    Kane Bamford Antonio
    Many thanks!!!

      Hey buddy, how long have you been planning for the BGW?? Your team looks remarkably set up!! 🙂

      Although I’m a Bale owner, I think he is an overrated pick but I guess we have a small pool of players to choose from for the blank so we are where we are.

      I would personally just do Grealish to one of the Spurs mids and rollover the other FT.

      All the best mate, I wished I was set up that well. 🙂

        Hi mate!! Well, I’ve had triple Leeds for a while, I’ve kept Grealish in my team ever since he got injured, I have brought in Cresswell and Lingard with my two frees this week already so now what you see is what I have so would be just -4 to get a full 11 out, Bale or Trossard are my options I think?! Worried about Spurs away from home and also Bale on playing an hour at a time too!! Haha decisions decisions!!!
