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.

    4. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years

      I like the first one best - good luck!

    Nkunku out means:

    A. Jackson locked in
    B. Avoid Chelsea attack

    1. Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I like punts but I think Chelsea attack is a punt too far, at least for the first 2 weeks

    2. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B imo. Lack of creativity is a problem.

    3. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Neither, Chukwuemeka is now a bargain

      1. Muller Reus Corner
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        2nd this

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Might not even start according to Chelsea fans

    4. King Kun Ta
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A for me…he is in my team atm

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B for me. I need to see how they look first.

    6. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A- Liverpool, West Ham, Luton, Bournemouth, Forest
      I don't care if he's only got one leg, those fixtures are prime. He could be 7.7 by the end of that run.

  3. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    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

    Subs: Areola - Udogie - Mubamba - Baldock

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I’d rather start with Martinelli. Could go big in the Forest game (and Fulham if you still have him for that).

      1. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Ta!

  4. Fantasyfootballryan
    • 6 Years

    Thoughts? Only worry is Foden playing time.

    Onana
    Stones, Shaw, Gabriel
    Rashford, Saka, Foden, Diaby,
    Haaland, Darwin, Joao Pedro

    Virginia, Tarkowski, Mbeumo, Chilwell

    1. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Only worry? My main worry would be Darwin

    2. Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Too much money on the bench. Would be surprised if Darwin started

  5. Big Mike
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

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

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yes but it’s a big if

      1. Big Mike
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        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.

        1. Coys96
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Bayern were apparently £27m off Levy’s valuation. I can’t see them coughing up that much

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            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.

    2. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, maybe. Not sure if Son would have a look in more centrally?

  6. revelc
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on this Kane draft? Thanks a lot in advance.

    Fabianski
    Botman - Gabriel - estu
    Saka - eze - rashy - martinelli
    Haaland - kane - pedro

    Areola - cash - baldock - baptiste

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Nice to see something different. Only players not keen on would be Fabianski and Botman > Pickford/Johnstone and Udogie/Other 4.5m

    2. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      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

  7. Coys96
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Any Bournemouth fans or people who have followed them in pre season care to suggest the best 5.0 mil midfielder?

    Looking at Dango and Brooks atm

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Brooks

  8. niaz1982
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    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?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      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.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        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.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Who loses out to Gvardiol coming in?

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Why buy him in the first place then?

            1. Eat my goal!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              It wasn’t a loaded question, genuinely want to know what spot he’ll take up - likely back 3 / 4 with him in it

          2. Coys96
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Akanji

            1. Eat my goal!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              In a 3 or a 4

              LCB & LB?

              1. Nomar
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                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?

    2. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I think he'll get integrated in over first few months.

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Since when does the money City pay have anything to do with a player starting?

  9. Muller Reus Corner
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Everyone picking Kane, don't forget his supposed August goal drought(s)!

  10. King Kun Ta
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Is Jota a good pick? Otherwise no pool…. Ta!

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Could be but fearful of rotation

    2. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      If you’re having him alongside Rashford & Martinelli then yes, but I wouldn’t have him instead of either

      1. Coys96
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Add Saka and Odegaard to that

        1. King Kun Ta
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Saka, Rashford & Martinelli will join him.

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Fantastic..... if he starts

  11. theshazly
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Onana ( Turner )

    Cash Estu Gabriel ( Udogie, Baldock )
    Mitoma Rash Salah Saka ( Nakamba )
    Jackson Haaland Wissa

    0.0 ITB

    1 - Thoughts on this draft please ?
    2 - Nakamba or Anderson ?
    3 - Eze or Mitoma ?

    Cheers.

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Think there are better 4.5 rotations than Cash/Udogie. But really like the rest

      Nakamba

      Mitoma

  12. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    How’s this for a first draft?

    Pickford Turner

    James Shaw Gabriel Baldock Kabore

    Salah Saka Bruno Mitoma Mbeumo

    Haaland Pedro Edouard

  13. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Good thing about including Salah is that after having him as captain option in GW 2, can also then have the option to transfer to Kane depending on transfer / form etc

  14. Totalfootball
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Jota Or Havertz ?

  15. BaasB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I dont see much talk about Draft.
    I play draft with some of my friends, but I dont know how to really rank my watchlist. Wanna help?

    How would you rank the first 7 players?

    1. Haaland
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.
    6.
    7.

    (We are with 7 players, so one of those will be my first pick)
