Fantasy Football Scout and Sky Sports Fantasy Football to join forces in 2021/22

Fantasy Football Scout are delighted to be partnering with Sky Sports Fantasy Football this season and bringing you even more content on the popular, free-to-enter game.

The site is open for registration for 2021/22, so you can head over there now and begin picking your team – or teams plural, as Sky allows you to manage a second XI.

A whopping £50,000 is on offer to the game’s winner next season, with cash prizes of £5,000 and £1,000 dished out to those managers finishing in the other two podium places.

The fourth and fifth-placed managers are awarded games consoles, as are the highest-scoring Fantasy bosses of the month.

SCOUT’S 2021/22 COVERAGE

We’re delighted to welcome aboard Niall Murphy to our Pro Pundit team, who will be joining Luke Williams in fronting our Sky coverage this season.

Niall has a best-ever Sky Sports Fantasy placing of 3rd in 2016/17 and is a serial top 100 finisher.

Resident maverick Luke can boast a 4th-placed finish in Sky, along with some stellar seasons in a number of other Fantasy formats.

We’ll have lots of articles to come before the new campaign starts, focusing on everything from player prices and team reveals to longer-term strategies.

We’ll also continue to provide features and tips throughout 2021/22 once the action gets underway.

In the meantime, head over to our Premium Members Area to see which players will potentially benefit from the Sky Sports bonus on offer for saves, tackles, passes and shots on target.

HOW DO I PLAY?

Just like in Fantasy Premier League, managers select a team of players that will either earn attacking, defensive or bonus points in an attempt to score more than friends, colleagues and/or the rest of the world.

However, this is not a squad-based game: you simply choose a starting XI and do not have a bench.

We have already produced a beginner’s guide which delves deeper into the rules and scoring system – this can be accessed by clicking below.

          Pep really going all out for Kane/Grealish, the former I understand but the latter is not worth losing either.

          So an article from May 29th from poor sources.

          Not Sky but Daily Mail. That's just a newspapers report

      DAILY EXPRESS

      Arsenal are reportedly interested in a double swoop for Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez as Manchester City consider selling the wingers in the summer transfer window.

      Hahahahahahahahaahahaha

    Villa will have some squad if they can hold all their players

    Could they push on and get top 6 this season ?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years

      I think it's time for you to go to bed

        It’s 7.15 and I’ve just ordered a pizza, if I start drinking I can see myself having triple Norwich by midnight

        1. Moxon
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Sounds like a good night to me

        2. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years

          I worry about your diet

          Get it out of your system early doors mate 🙂 enjoy the pizza & your Norwich quartet

    2. Hangman Page

      I really hope not, I know far too many Villa fans to be comfortable with them having any success.

  3. R.C
    • 6 Years

    Cantwell benched

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Ah, the Cantwell memories a few seasons ago.

  4. R.C
    • 6 Years

    Dowell goal

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      See this happening as he has one year left on his contract. Apparently he's looking for a place in Manchester

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Think he'd be the same 5.5 as Shaw, AWB and Maguire.

    3. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Who does he replace? Shaw or AWB?

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Or he plays behind/in front of, one of them in a 3/5/2 5/3/2?

      2. R.C
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Can cover both positions but he's a RB

        1. BrockLanders
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          He'd be a super option and be great for attacking points

        2. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Thought he was a rb ok. Ta

  5. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    RIP all those people who wanted to punt on Mahrez

    1. Moxon
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      If Pep is willing to sell Mahrez and Sterling as part of a way to get Grealish I'll just punt on him.

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      The article posted above is from May 29th and the sources are the Daily Express and Daily Mail. Not even worth reading.

      1. Moxon
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        The part about Arsenal made me burst out laughing.

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Such a ridiculous article. People will believe anything.

    3. OPTA FPL

      Lol before Euro

  6. Botman and Robben

    1. BrockLanders

  7. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    A few questions here folks....

    1. DCL or Bam

    2. Buendia or Sarr

    3. AWB or Shaw

    Thank you!

    1. Moxon

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years

      1. Bamford
      2. Buendia
      3. Shaw

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        The exact 3 I am currently on.
        Thanks

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Do you already have Raphinha? If not, I would take him over Sarr/Buendia.

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Sanchez
            Shaw Cresswell TAA
            Barnes Buendia Salah Bruno Raph
            Bam Watkins

              • 9 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              Nice. I would say go DCL over Bam if you have Raphinha cover. Not sure about Leeds up front double up. Cheers mate!

  8. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Dowell brace

  9. Moxon
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Who do you think are your 'sexiest' picks?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on the definition of sexiest.

      1. Moxon
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        High risk high reward.

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I really like buendia and Wilson in my team atm

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Gilmour & Manquillo. Nailed on in my team too.

      1. Moxon
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Imagine the possibilities.

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years

        Have those too 😛

    4. Bobby Digital

      Pukki

    5. Golding123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Willock if he gets his move to Newcastle

  10. lugs

    early days but i love the look of my 2nd Sky team with its cheapo defense 🙂

    Sky team 1

    Sanchez
    Taa, Digne, Ait Nouri
    Bruno, Mahrez, Pepe, Mbeumo
    Salah, Nacho, Watkins

    Sky team 2

    Fabianski
    Ritchie, Firpo, Ait Nouri
    KDB, Bruno, Havertz, Barnes, Pepe
    Kane, Cavani

    1. Moxon
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I only played Sky for the first time last year currently on this.

      Martinez
      TAA Digne Dunk Coufal
      Fernandes Maddison Buendia
      Salah Antonio Toney

      1. lugs
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        that's a nice team tbf, 433 is really flexible too

  11. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    This is the one!

    Meslier 4
    Trent Robbo Digne Shaw 4.5
    Salah Bruno Rafa Buendia 4.5
    Bamford Toney 4.5

  12. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Can't decide between Digne or Cresswell - who'd you pick and why?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Between those, Cresswell because a wait and see with Everton. (New manager, poor form) Coufal would be my choice at .5 less.

  13. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA AWB Digne
    Salah Bruno Mahrez Raphina ESR
    Toney Watkins
    (Foster, Lamptey, Ayling, Obefemi)

    Thoughts? I like the look of this.

  14. LangerznMash
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Just had my first look on FPL and I'm very surprised at some of the seemingly generous player pricings.
    Ones that immediately stood out to me as underpriced are:
    Sanchez (£4.5) - scored over a hundred points in only 27 games. Brighton usually play a back 5 and also 2 defensive mids... Expect 15+ clean sheets for him.
    Tierney + Doherty (£5.0) for their potential attacking output alone. If they play as wingbacks this season then these too are ridiculously underpriced.
    Digne (£5.5) I find it strange that his price has dropped when he scored the same in less minutes played.
    Jota (£7.5) listed as a mid when he will certainly play a forward role in one of the best attacking teams in the league. Regardless of rotation risk he should be around £9.0m.
    Pepe (£7.5) you may LOL at this one but he scored 8 goals in his last 13 starts. If this is the same form for the start of the coming season then he has to be considered as a value asset and he may also have added set piece and penalty duties
    DCL (£8.0) 16 goals and 6 assists in 33 matches... unless something ugly is going on at Everton that I don't know about, DCL should be challenging for the golden boot and should be priced similar to Son at £10.0m.
    Obafemi (£4.5) the standout super-budget forward for me, especially if Ings leaves. Rumours of him being sold apparently squashed by Ralf who is impressed with him since coming back from injury.

    This is just my initial view, i'm sure I will find more when I look into more detail.

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      You reckon Ings will leave?

      1. LangerznMash
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Well he rejected their contract extension offer so only has a year remaining. Saints either sell now of lose him for free next summer.
        Skybet have him at 6/4 to sign for Spurs.

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Surely Saints will sign another striker if Ings leaves?

          1. LangerznMash
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            You'd expect so but Ralp plays two up front and Obefemi appears to be #3 in the pecking order so expect him to get a fair amount of minutes. This pick would be more for people who don't play 3 forwards in game but would like there 3rd spot sub to still offer a little something.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      and Reguilion

      1. LangerznMash
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Yup, 6 assists in his first season and will probably only get better.

    3. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      If DCL gets within five goals of the top scorer I’ll be amazed.

  15. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Looks like Everton will be signing…
    Asmir Bergovic on a free for backup to Pickford.

  16. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Raphina or Harrison?
    Buendia or Grealish?
    Torres, Foden or Mahrez?
    Mbeumo or Toney?
    Kane or Son?
    Coufal or Cresswell?
    King , Sarr or Welbeck?
    Wadkins, Antonio, Nacho or ?
