As well as the new Fantasy FC draft game coinciding with the Premier League’s 2024/25 kick-off, leading app Sleeper also offers a free Pick’em predictor.
So if you see yourself as a bit of a top-flight Nostradamus, it’d be a good idea to download the app – available from the App Store and Play Store – and then join our Scout league.
REGULAR PICK’EM PRIZES
In Pick’em, you predict wins and draws for the upcoming matches, earning a point for every correct guess.
Not only will there be a football shirt of choice to be won each month but the overall season-long winner wins £7,500 worth of prizes!
It costs nothing, takes just a few minutes and is sociable – connecting you in a chat with league competitors.

WHAT IS SLEEPER?
Built like a messenger app, Sleeper launched in 2014 as a place to chat about Fantasy games. Their initial US leagues debuted in 2017 and they’ve now decided to branch into football with some exciting Premier League and La Liga contests.
Pride is taken in its design, aided by initially hiring a bunch of casual fans and first-time Fantasy players to bring out-of-the-box ideas that created a less intimidating interface for new players. And this seems to have worked, as Sleeper continues to gain popularity.
At Scout, our core staff will be playing their Fantasy FC draft game too.
It’s a visually pleasing experience, where the draft order (Snake, Linear or Auction), time per pick and bench size are customised beforehand.
You can even edit the points-scoring system! Try using its chat feature to reach a group decision on whether to keep Fantasy Premier League (FPL) scoring, or add rewards for interceptions, dribbles, shots on target etc.
Post-draft, a waiver system allows unselected players to be acquired and starting line-ups can be adjusted as each Matchday progresses. This is ideal for any surprise player absences.
