Even if you’re left with a depleted squad and a disastrous score in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) this weekend, winning a cool £10,000 would be a welcome piece of news come Sunday evening.

You have a chance to achieve precisely this if you can make five correct picks in the free-to-play Fantasy5 game, and there are also various other prizes (including a £50 PS5/Xbox voucher this week) on offer beyond the whopping jackpot.

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

You can even set up a mini-league and compete with colleagues, friends and family – something we’ve done recently.

Last month, Fantasy Football Scout unveiled a nine-week battle that pits ten staff members and Pro Pundit experts 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. Below the ‘how to’, you can see which players the Scout crew have selected for Gameweek 16.

HOW DOES FANTASY 5 WORK?

Win £10,000 for free with Fantasy5 by picking the best players for Gameweek 16 11

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 Gameweek 16 matches below and, if they all exceed their individual ‘points targets’ (a par score set by Fantasy5), you’ll be in the money:

  • Manchester City v Wolves
  • Arsenal v Southampton
  • Chelsea v Leeds United
  • Liverpool v Aston Villa
  • Norwich City v Manchester United

Anyone who manages to pick five successful outperformers will be in the money, with a £10,000 prize up for grabs!

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.

The deadline for this week’s entries is at 12:30 GMT on Saturday December 11.

SCOUT’S PICKS FOR GAMEWEEK 16 OF FANTASY5

The FFS Challenge has had four rounds – here is the current mini-league table:

As mentioned on Tuesday’s round-up piece, nobody got any right for Gameweek 15, as some of the most popular picks were either injured or rotated. Names such as Ivan Toney, Emerson Royal and Emile Smith Rowe missed out, with just cameo appearances from Jamie Vardy and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The only players to exceed their target were Shandon Baptiste, Ezri Konsa, Fred, Demarai Gray, Kieran Tierney, Ben Davies and Davinson Sanchez.

    Something about Dennis v King

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      King Dennis

  2. Pinky Blinders
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    There wasn’t much in it for me between King and Dennis. So I just went for Dennis since he has a slightly more streamlined haircut. 51/49 kind of call. Haircuts are usually my tiebreaker go to.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Beards are mine.

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Valid point. The points should look good.

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Hot topic right here.

  3. Atimis

    LET ME HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON KING VS DENNIS AS PROBABLY EVERYONE WANTS TO HEAR IT AGAIN AND AGAIN

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      I brought popcorn this time 😀

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Dennis is King!

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      So pointless talking about 5.5m players.
      Most of our squads aren't even reliant on them.

    4. griffzinho
      • 12 Years

      Dennis is lightning quick and has scored some great headers. Seems to be more clinical as opposed to King. However King is on penos and will get slightly more chances possibly. Last night it was a whisker between them. King hit the post and seconds later Dennis scored from a corner. Could have gone either way. I bought Dennis last week, and regretted not getting King, but after watching the game last night I'm a lot happier. Dennis is just more energetic and torublesome for opposition. Very happy to hold him!

    Denny’s or Burger King?

    1. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years

      Wendy's

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        The correct answer is actually the Bistro!

  5. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Why has no one won fantasy 5 if there are so many players?

    I get Super 6 shows you how difficult it is to get 6 match results correct, but Fantasy 5 seems easier.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      That 0.5 is the reason.

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      I won super six's now defunct twin, the one where you pick 6 players from a match. Got me tickets for Ipswich v Dirty Leeds.

  6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Which Watford forward should I get?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Either King or Dennis

    2. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Cucho is probably their best one, not being granted the opportunities to show it though.

    Good afternoon to Dennis owners

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Afternoon lad.

      Hi

  8. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Sigh, further to this nonsense.

    Statistics can be grouped into leading indicators and lagging indicators.

    Lagging indicators happen after the event and are a sign that change has occured. In this case goals and assists.

    Leading indicators happen in advance of an event and are a sign that change is going to happen. In this case goals imminent, xG etc.

    Leading indicators are only needed to identify change. Aka someone who isnt scoring but about to go on a run, OR someone who is scoring and about to go on a barren run.

    Learn to stats. Its never, and will never be, one stat fits all..

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Danny Rose currently has the highest xG (expected gout).

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        Best to get medical help and inact positive change before the negative happens

  9. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Always liked Dennis Quaid more than Ted King. That was my reason.

  10. griffzinho
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Any city line up leaks??

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Not yet. Hoping Foden gets a start though

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        MEN journalists think he won't be risked, even if available.

        1. mojoindojo
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 12 months ago

          What about women journalists?

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      I've seen SofaScore indicating that Jesus is flagged injured.

      We'll know in 20 mins.

      Manchester Evening News have him starting central position as of this morning.

      All just possible lineups.

      1. bigwig
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        MEN are just guessing like the rest of us

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 12 months ago

          True, but as their full time job you'd expect them to be closer to it.

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        Ben says.

        SofaScore is good for a lot of things, but injuries are not their main focus. Jesus is fit.

    3. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Fodenfreude happening.

  11. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    I’d sacrifice a thousand goats for a king brace and Dennis injury next week

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      That would hurt Ronaldo owners.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      That would be quite an effort.

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years

      Delete. PETA is tracking this forum.

      1. The Knights Template

        Uh oh, supermodels are going to get naked in protest!

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 12 months ago

          Didn't think of that. Steve a few more animal killing posts please.

  12. CoKane & Zohores
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Better comedy

    A - The King of Queens
    B - Dennis the Menace

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Anything with Dennis in it's title automatically becomes better.

      1. CoKane & Zohores
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        King of Queens had loads of x-factor though.

    2. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Trick question the answer is Mr. (Callum) Wilson

  13. bigwig
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Watford should get a red strip with black hoops in honour of Dennis

    1. Dammit_182
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Think Bournemouth should sign him….

      1. bigwig
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        Bournemouth have stripes though, needs to be hoops. Watford new away kit maybe..

        1. Dammit_182
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 12 months ago

          This is true….let’s make the sway kit thing happen!

    2. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years

      And a small black dog as their mascot

      1. Dammit_182
        • 4 Years

        And this!

  14. Warby84
    • 10 Years

    Do United fans think Sancho will start??

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      They’re Dennis fans now.

  15. Dammit_182
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Already have Dennis (or) King. Just wondering if it’s worth getting any other players?

  16. Pinky Blinders
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Is Foden a good pick for their upcoming run if he gets rested today?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Woohoo Fodenfreude!

  17. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Most popular question ahead of GW38:

    Guys if I downgrade Salah to Gilmour I can afford King to Dennis. Should I do it before the price changes?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Bussouma + Dennis will give you more points.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Dennis off to Real Madrid in January in case you weren’t aware.

  18. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years

    Who's Dennis King? I know Diana King. Is she any good?

  19. BrockLanders

      No. I wanted rid last week anyway.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Just focus on your Dennis ownership please.

  21. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Should've picked Dennis the Menace, but unfortunately ended up with the King and I.

  22. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    How will King owners react when it's confirmed Dennis is not going to AFCON?

    1. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      New Dennis owner here, what’s AFCON?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        Apparently he's never been picked for Nigeria. Just checked....

        ... he came on as a sub last November v Sierra Leone.

        So he's on the fringe of the squad.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      By that time King will probably start scoring

    3. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      On his current form if clowns like Iwobi can be capped 50 times I’m really doubtful Dennis won’t be called up

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Perma captain Dennis during that period, just like Salah.

    5. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      I went to Norwich v Wolves and Wolves were so conservative. At least Norwich gave it a go. Were you there?

    6. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      How will King owners react when they hear King is going to The Scandinavian Cup of Nations next GW?

    7. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      So what if he goes to AFCON? Salah and Dennis to somebody else. Big deal. Twitter noisy crap IMO

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        It's not like we have weekly transfers or anything...

    8. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

      Something will be blinking like a camera shutter!

  23. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Is it too early to worry about what which players your rivals own?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      In your ML? Isn't it always a worry?

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Yes. Do they have fantasy Erdivisie?

    How many will play out of the three?

    1. _Gunner

      2/3

    2. Fish up a tree

      Give us a minute

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      The more pertinent question for you is which 3 do you have on your bench.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        Wood Livra Hwang.

        Any good?

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
