To help with the continued growth of the editorial coverage on Fantasy Football Scout we are looking to expand our team of contributors, which has already seen site regulars In Tommy We Trust, Roscola and Demi join up this season so far.

We are looking for someone to join Paul’s team, who is enthusiastic about Fantasy Football, has a flair for writing and is able to commit their time regularly each week.

Ideally we are looking for someone who…

  • Has a knowledge and passion not just for Premier League football but for Fantasy Football.
  • Is willing to volunteer and contribute their passion and their time to become an invaluable member of a growing editorial team.
  • Has good, strong writing skills with the ability to produce tight, entertaining editorial – in line with the house style, but with a twist of personality.
  • Is available to contribute opinions throughout the week and at weekends, helping to shape decisions and editorial direction within the Scout team.
  • Is available to contribute articles on a weekly basis and be prepared to take charge of an established section of the site, making it their own and working in collaboration with the team to grow it further.

If you’re interested, please send a short summary of yourself, your typical weekly availability, along with a sample of your writing to writers@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk by December 20.

This process is typically lengthy so please be patient with us, we will try to get back to applicants as soon as possible and we will keep you up to date with the process via the site as we go.

    Mirrales > Oscar with a view to funding Remy > Rooney the following wk or else for a -4 hit this wk.

    At moment have Lukaku, Aguero, Remy up front.

    @ Arsenal fans, this is why you deserve nothing.

    When you were drawn into the group of death you basically wrote the team off and said you wouldn't qualify. Now you have actually qualified you moan you didn't finish top and say you are going out the next round.

    Wenger out one minute, wenger the genius the next. Boo'ing your own players is absolutely disgraceful.

    Sorry but I am ashamed, so many fickle arsenal fans around.

      Stop generalising all Arsenal fans. And anyway the people who are moaning about not finishing top, are just disappointed to see their team loose top spot in the dying minutes of the group stage.

      Personally I've never slated Wenger, he if anyone deserves to be at the club until he decides to leave.
