A little bit of extra cash always comes in handy at this time of year – and you could have £10k in your back pocket by the end of Gameweek 16, simply by predicting Fantasy points returns in five weekend Premier League matches.

And, best of all, it’s completely free to play!

We’re talking about Fantasy5, where there are also various other prizes on offer beyond the whopping jackpot. You can even set up a mini-league and compete with colleagues, friends and family – something we’ve done.

Fantasy Football Scout recently unveiled a nine-week battle that pits 10 staff members and Pro Pundits against each other. To determine who truly has the best eye for a Fantasy player, the FFS Challenge mini-league will take place between Gameweeks 12 and 20.

A small prize is up for grabs but, more importantly, so are bragging rights.

HOW DOES FANTASY 5 WORK?

Fantasy5 is free to play and it follows the exact same scoring system as FPL, just without the bonus points.

It’s as simple as this: pick a player from each of the five selected Gameweek matches and, if they all exceed their individual ‘points targets’ (a par score set by Fantasy5), you’ll be in the money.

Even if you don’t succeed in getting all five right, Fantasy5’s leaderboard allows you to win prizes beyond the £10k jackpot – there’s £500 up for grabs for the Fantasy manager topping the leaderboard

Competition is limited to one entry per person per round. Full terms and conditions are here.

£100 prize every month in Scout's Fantasy5 mini-league

SCOUT’S RESULTS FOR GAMEWEEKS 14 AND 15

The FFS Challenge has had two rounds since the last article – the midweek Gameweek 14 fixtures, followed by Gameweek 15 at the weekend. Here is the current mini-league table:

GAMEWEEK 15

The weekend brought a second Gameweek without any success for our 10 competitors, mainly due to popular choices being injured or rotated.

Ivan Toney was most-selected for Leeds United v Brentford, only to miss out because of a positive Covid-19 test.

Following Jamie Vardy‘s substitute appearance on Sunday, Gameweek 15 ended with a no-show from Emile Smith Rowe and a place on the bench for the player who had most picks amongst the five games – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The following players exceeded their points target: Shandon Baptiste, Ezri Konsa, Fred, Demarai Gray, Kieran Tierney, Ben Davies and Davinson Sanchez.

GAMEWEEK 14

Things went more smoothly a few days prior, with only Geoff and FPL Marc failing to succeed. Sergio Reguilon was successfully chosen by six of the 10, with three opting for Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo against Arsenal. ElFozzie chose both, with players like James Maddison and Andrew Robertson delivering FPL returns but still not quite able to reach their Fantasy5 points target.

The following players exceeded their points target: Sergio Reguilon, Jan Bednarek, Jonny Evans, Cristiano Ronaldo, Fred, Mohamed Elneny, Emile Smith Rowe and Jordan Henderson.

Later this week, the selections for Gameweek 16 will be revealed, as we reach the middle round of the FFS Challenge.

    Sanchez (Steele)
    TAA Cancelo Reguilon (Johnson Livramento)
    Salah Bernardo Jota Raphinha (Brownhill)
    Kane Toney King

    If Spurs game is cancelled I'll likely WC, already removed Son for Bernardo.

    Is Toney to Antonio the move here? 3.1 ITB

    1. White Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      You’re in a great position having a WC left over.

      1. Rupert The Horse

    2. FredrikH

      Reason it would get canceled?

      1. Gandalf

        Covid cases at spurs

      4 years, 57 mins ago

      Kane to anyone is the move. Literally anyone. But now is probably going to be as good a time as any to get your wildcard in play. You would be 4 or 8 points up on a lot of people taking hits!

  2. Here is Cash, give McGinn
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 hour ago

    Alonso+Son+Toney -> Johnson+Bowen+Ronaldo (-4) ?

  3. drughi

    2 FT and 0.5 itb

    Sanchez*
    TAA Rudiger Cancelo James
    Salah Jota ESR*
    Vardy Antonio King

    Foster Gallagher Livramento Gilmour

    A. ESR and Sanchez > Foden and guita
    B. ESR and Sanchez > Bilva and Ramsdale

    1. Steiger
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      If you did B, then you would have the exact same XI as mine this week lol.

  4. Mr Bird
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 hour ago

    Following the Spurs news it’s probably sensible to keep the bench healthy. Alonso also apparently ok so Is this the best use of 2ft’s?

    Kane > Ronaldo
    Foster > 3.9m (Need the 0.1m for Ronaldo)

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James Alonso
    Salah Jota Foden
    Kane Antonio King

    Foster* Gallagher Livra Brownhill

    My cup rival has VVD, Mahrez, Mendy, Dias, Sissoko, Benteke and Allan. These are the guys who usually kick me out of the cup.

  6. Manumana
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 hour ago

    If Son is out. How's this look

    Son & Antonio
    To
    Ronaldo & Bowen -4

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      All I see is Antonio out for a hit now he finally had the fixtures.

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 hour ago

        Don't understand it either

        1. Manumana
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 hour ago

          I'm tired

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      I don't think it looks too bad tbh, Bowen outperforming Antonio in every metric at the moment, including eye test. I'll be holding Antonio as moving on Toney and Jimenez first, but don't hate the moves.

    Kovacic returned to training yesterday. Today he tested positive to Covid. Hold those transfers till as late as possible

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      Always.
      Never before a Friday.

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 hour ago

        Did my first early transfers of the season today 5 mins before the spurs news broke. Typical

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 hour ago

          I honestly think that’s deserved.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      Too late, on -4 already. On the other hand I sold both Son and Toney out before knowing anything about their issues.

    3. White Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      Getting an XI without hits in GW16 will probably be sufficient for a green arrow at this rate.

      1. Christina.
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 hour ago

        x

    4. Black Knights
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      Always surprises me how many 'I've done my FIRST EVER early transfer this week and of course it's screwed me' appear when something goes wrong. Yeah sure it was buddy. Sure it was.

  8. fish&chips
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 hour ago

    Guaita
    James, Alonso, Cancelo, TAA
    Jota, Salah, son*, bowen
    Antonio, king

    4.0, Jimenez, Livra, Sissoko

    0.1 ITB, 0 FT

    Assuming son is out for 2+ weeks would you:

    A) keep son and play Jimenez
    B). Son -> foden (-4)
    C) son -> rashford/ sancho (-4)

  9. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    Is spurs game in danger of being cancelled?

    1. Radzio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      For the moment - no.

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      Yes but how much in danger is speculative

    3. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      Unlikely unless a lot more players return positive results. If they can field a squad of 14 they are supposed to play

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 hour ago

        Do read the article^.

        1. fish&chips
          • 15 Years

          My bad, cheers for the info

  10. Rohirrims
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 hour ago

    I'm tempted by Lukaku over CR7 for the next 3/4 fixtures.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      You’re kidding right?

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 mins ago

      He's not even fit!

  11. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 hour ago

    Thoughts on below?

    Only Son out
    1. Toney Son to CR7 4.5mid (benched)
    2. Toney Son to King/Dennis Sterling/Foden/Sancho/Bowen/Bsilva
    3. Toney Son to Antonio Foden/Sancho/Bowen/Bsilva

    If Vardy plays on Thursday, both out
    4. Vardy Toney Son to CR7 King/Dennis Foden/Bowen/Bsilva -4

  12. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 hour ago

    If they are both fit who to start this week?

    A. Alonso
    B. Antonio

    1. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      A

    2. The Mentaculus

      B

    3. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 mins ago

      B

  13. bitars
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 hour ago

    What would you do here?

    2FT 1,9 ITB

    Ramsdale, Foster

    TAA, James, Cancelo, Alonso*, Livramento

    Salah, Raphina, Son, Jota, ESR*

    Antonio, Dennis, Toney*

    Some injury issues and midweek games in Europe causing problems here.

    1) Toney+Raphina+Alonso to Ronaldo+Sissoko+Williams

    2) Raphina+Alonso to Bilva+Walker

    3) Raphina+Toney to Bilva+Richarlison

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

      Put fewer new lines in.

      1. bitars

        Yes sir!

          I’d probably sell Son if he’s confirmed as having COVID as that’s 10.4 so your most expensive “problem”.

          There’s plenty of options below his price at United and City or elsewhere.

          Then you could upgrade Toney.

          1. bitars
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 hour ago

            Jeez, didn't know about Son. Thats changes everything. Cheers!

          2. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 hour ago

            I agree

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      Is Alonso ruled out long term? If not, don't remove. I dont like any of your options tbh.

  14. STORZ
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 hour ago

    Price rises gonna force me to make changes early I think. (-4)

    1) Son & Sissoko > Bernardo & Mount
    2) Son & Hwang > Ronaldo + 4.3m Fodder

    Cheers

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      Screw the price changes. Keep Son unless he is out with COVID.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 hour ago

        Tough one. Son was able to perform only against the absolute weakest defenses, so I sold him to get Ronaldo.

  15. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 hour ago

    So are the covid rumours true?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      It's a serious enough disease they reckon 😉

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      Yes

    3. pauloc677
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      Son has covid, amongst a few other spurs players. Another round of testing to be done.

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 hour ago

        Where did you hear this? Is it confirmed?

        1. pauloc677
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 hour ago

          Its in many of the papers now. hopefully 2nd test comes back negative

        2. Amartey Partey
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 hour ago

          The players aren’t confirmed yet but Son’s name keeps coming up as one of the rumored.

  16. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 hour ago

    I am in very annoying situation with ESR and Bowen with exact money. I can make the transfer either today for -4 or wait, be priced out and make it next week for -4, but in that case I have to also downgrade either Reguillon or Alonso. Since ESR was in too much pain to travel, I don't expect him to be fit this week. Besides having ESR, Reguilon and probably fit Alonso, I could easily be also pepped with Cancelo, Bernardo and Gundogan. Broja is my bench fodder and has Arsenal.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      Everyone else is probably recommend to wait, or what's the plan? Should Bowen get injured and ESR be fine (worst case scenario), I could correct my mistake for free next week and reverse it.

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      I’d probably do it. Do West Ham have to win their game in Europe? Could be a problem if Bowen plays and gets injured.

    3. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 54 mins ago

      Get Bowen

  17. putana
    • 7 Years

    I got pretty unlucky in the cup draw.

    Im ranked 170k and go up against someone 30k

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 hour ago

      What’s that got to do with the price of fish?

      1. putana
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 hour ago

        because he has a good team as opposed to someone at 7 million

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 hour ago

          You’ve got a good rank too. Got to play good teams at some point.

        2. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 hour ago

          And if they were ranked 7m they wouldn’t have qualified

          1. putana
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 59 mins ago

            the top 8.3 million qualified

            1. GreennRed
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 29 mins ago

              Jesus, yer man doing the draw must have a sore arm after it.

              1. Balls of Steel
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 12 months ago

      The cup,
      is luck.

      Worst poem ever?!?

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 27 mins ago

        No.

        The cup,
        For xylophones.

        is worse

    Do you think greenwood gonna start for epl games?

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years

      Not many unless Rashford gets injured or continued playing poorly.

      Gallagher, is that a new one?
