Fantasy Football Scout memberships for 2013/14 are now available for just £15. Existing memberships expired on June 1 but you can now renew to get access to the members area.

Existing registered users can upgrade via this link. New users, who are yet to get a registered account, can sign up via this link.

Currently, payments are made solely through Paypal but, having built a new members sign-up process, we are now looking to get alternative methods of payment set-up for those adverse to using that service. I’ll have more on that, soon.

For those new to Fantasy Football Scout memberships, you can get full details, along with a series of movies previewing the content, via this page.

The support provided by our members since we launched has has enabled us to continue to improve the site – most recently, it’s allowed us to invest in the development of HomeCrowd comments system which we’re hopeful will help take the site on, once again. While the HomeCrowd has been our focus recently, we will be switching our attention to the members area in the coming weeks, as we prepare to boost the offering for the new season.

Over the course of last year, we were able to add the Player Comparison Tool, Custom User Tables and the Rate My Team tool to the members area. This time around, we’ve a wishlist of new toys as look to add more value to the members offering. I will have more on this in the coming weeks as the build up for the new season gathers momentum.

If you’ve any feedback or suggestions of content that you’d like to see added to the members area, then please feel free to drop me a line at mark@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I think this season will be the first I take up membership...will be interesting to see what difference (if any) it makes. £12.50 seems pretty reasonable for all the efforts that go in... Just over £1 / month well spent hopefully.

      I'm an advocate, but then I'm also something of a stats geek so it's hardly a surprise. As gets mentioned by many others though, it kind of feels nice to support the site in this way regardless of how much help it ends up being.

        My main reservation is I don't like to be too influenced by the stats. Stats are retrospective whereas FPL by nature is not... hopefully I'll use the stats to my advantage 🙂

          I get that, I suppose you need to be able to balance your qualitative judgment against the quantitative stats and find the sweet spot. Mind you, if I remember rightly you had a cracking season without the stats didn't you?!

              I saw Rodwell on your list towards the end of the season but couldn't believe he had it in him. He then went on a points scoring rampage. Lesson learnt there.

                Taarabt must permanently feature on the list though, must be a downside surely? Looks great for spotting a low-ownership player who could score big though 🙂

          Depends how you use them. e.g. if a player has been getting a lot of shots on target but has failed to find the net, it might imply he's been unlucky and is about to score a load of goals.

            the key moment I knew it was worth it was the comparison tool that helped me pick the then unfashionable BAE over the much talked about Walker the season before last.....just in time for BAE's now legendary mega dgw haul.

      To be honest, I only really used it for the season ticker.

      The members articles were well written, I suppose but I never really bothered to analyse the data as I'm not a seriously serious FPL-er. Too much like hard work and no guarantee at the end of the day.

      But that's just me.

          12.50 is a bargain if you compare it to the cost of a few beers and a pizza but the satisfaction is much, much less.

      Great thread going on here guys!

      I think knowing about the stats can't do you any harm as long as you remember at all times that they're only an indicator of underlying past performance.

      They're very useful, especially when used to project points, but they should be used to make more informed decisions, not as the basis.

      Depends to some extent if you're an iPhone user right now. Some iPhone users find the transition to the less polished and more complex Android unsettling and frustrating. Others love the extra freedom it gives them to customise the hell out of what is, after all, their own phone.

      If you're happy to go for Android, then Nexus 4 and HTC One are the frontrunners right now. I'd personally go for HTC One, just because I have a bit of a soft spot for HTC. The Verge (excellent tech/gadget site) had a very good review of it: http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/11/4086390/htc-one-review

      And if Michael Douglas really did say that oral sex gave him cancer, he's gone down a lot in my estimation (shamelessly stolen from Richard Herring on Twitter)

      agreed. I also happen to think this is the best way to run a club. A 'manager' quite frankly shouldn't have time to fulfill all the commitments in this era of commercialism

        There are pros and cons of both approaches. If the person/people making the decisions on personnel and the person in charge of tactics and picking the team have the same vision, then I think it could work well.

        It doesn't make sense though when the person/people making the decisions on signings just pick players they think are good and expect the coach to integrate them into the system at the expense of the tactics

          it's true there does need to be a certain amount of synergy between both parties. This situation is pretty much the norm throughout Europe, with England being pretty much the only exception.
