How to use the content filter to block sponsored articles

At Fantasy Football Scout, we love three things: football, Fantasy and our incredible community.

Whilst Fantasy Premier League (FPL) has always been our core focus and accounts for virtually all of the articles, video, podcast content and tools we provide, we do also enjoy a dabble in other games and leagues – hence we’ve covered the likes of UEFA Champions League, Sky Sports and World Cup Fantasy as well as community-created games like GoalScorer Challenge, LastManStanding, Fantasy ChampMan and VirtualFPL.

For the majority of the time, we look to cover and promote games, partners or websites where there’s no financial stake required. However, on some occasions, they do require a stake or are equated with more traditional sportsbook gambling.

We are mindful that some members of our community are not interested in these premium or sportsbook games and others downright hate it. We always listen to the audience and, as some of you will already know, have created a filter that allows our users to actively filter out certain types of articles.

We’ve now ironed out the bugs that were affecting this filter recently – so you can now head over to your profiles and block away at your heart’s content.

Due to the way our site is currently structured with comments threads appearing below the top article, we cannot easily remove the posts entirely from the article-listing structure without cutting users off from engaging in the latest comments.

However, we can now allow you to block the image and content of the article, so you’re only left with the comment chat.

We hope this filter helps you access the content you want – and block out anything you don’t want to see.

HOW TO TURN ON THE FILTER


To turn on the filter, simply:

  • Go to your profile page (click the avatar in the top right and select My Profile from the drop-down menu)
  • Click on ‘Edit Profile’
  • Select ‘Alerts & Notifications’ on the side menu
  • Select the relevant option that you want to filter. Here you can also opt in to our newsletter, marketing list and email notifications for certain articles

Not all sponsored content will be blockable, just anything that falls within the above category.

      Me thinks Kane will be sold and may not feature at all in the first few game weeks. That's the only worry.

    Thoughts on going Madderz over Martinelli? Guess Gabriel M is the safer pick but Madderz is calling out to me in that Postecoglou system. 1m ITB for flexibility.

    Johnstone

    Stones - Gabriel - Estu

    Rashford - Bruno - Saka - Maddison - Mbeumo

    Haaland - Watkins

    If Harry Kane leaves, would Richarlison be a good differential pick? He's likely to occupy the centre forward slot AND be on penalties.

        Not so big an if, he's stayed behind in London while the rest of the team travel to Barca for their last friendly. I suspect Bayern will keep persevering until they get him.

            Depends how much they want him, I guess.

            At Kane’s age every year counts now, so I would want to get full use of him now rather than potentially wait another year before I could get him.

      Bit light at the back but the front 8 is great. West Ham GK double up would be low down on my list of goalkeepers as they’ve been defending poorly in pre season and have mediocre/naff early fixtures

    Gvardiol £5.0m surely has to be starting for the money City paid right?

    Or is it looking more likely Stones is going to revert back to CB from his midfield role?

      Think Gvardiol will play a lot of games but probably not at the start. Pep usually takes his time bedding in new signings regardless of transfer fee.

        Without wishing to sound like x.Jim.x or whatever he’s called, this is not true.

        As the article on Gvardiol said:

        Signing less than a week before a league fixture shouldn’t be a barrier to him making his debut, by the way: Guardiola handed Dias, Akanji and Laporte their City bows mere days after their own arrivals.

                He’s versatile.

                Clearly City bought him for a reason and it’s hard to think that reason will involve him spending most of his time on the bench?
