Site Features

Community Submissions Area – Now Live

The new Community Submissions section is now live. You can get to this section to view any published articles and to submit an article, via the Community tab in the menu bar. You will also notice a new Articles tab in the previously named Comments widget in your sidebar. The most recently published community submissions will be listed here.

In case you missed our previous update on this, this new section allows any registered user to post us an article for review, which can then be published on the site in the new Community section. Some articles may also be promoted to the homepage listing and sit alongside our regular articles.

As we mentioned last week, in many ways, this is an extension of the Hot Topics feature in our HomeCrowd comments system. The community can now interact with us and fellow community members by posting comments, Hot Topics and now fully fledged articles.

It’s now over to you to help shape this community section. While we’ve suggested categories for article submissions in the form, you have the freedom to submit articles on any given area of Fantasy Football. Player scout reports, tactical analysis, statistical breakdowns (members or non-members related), features on a particular topic or dilemma and, of course, information on any free community tournaments you’re running will all be considered and possibly published in this section.

Our recent Drop the Flop article – as devised and written by Swanny14 – is an example of our willingness to take on, develop and promote new editorial ideas, so if you have any suggestions for future content, feel free to get involved.

We are particularly interested in hearing from fans of a Premier League club to provide expert analysis and match reports or, at this stage, perhaps a review of the season from their club’s perspective. Ultimately, our hopes are to have a community expert on board for each team in the top-flight in any given season – this could be your chance to be our eyes and ears on the latest goings-on at your club.

We’d like to think that there are several potential writers out there who will spring from the submissions section and evolve into contributors to help take the site forward in the coming years. We will re-launch the section prior to next season when the community welcomes some new faces but, this soft launch is an opportunity for our current community to get involved, prior to the World Cup and pre-season.

If any of you fancy yourself as experts on a particular World Cup nation, have a list of players to watch or simply want to review your Fantasy season or focus on initial squad targets for the next, then pen your article and post it to us via the submissions area.

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

      Hi folks,

      I've gone from a 46 point lead in my league to only 6, 11 & 17 points ahead thanks to Dzeko vs Aguero.

      My team:

      Mannone
      Flanagan Azpilicueta Coleman
      Silva Yaya Puncheon Mata
      Agüero Suárez Rooney
      Marshall, Ward, Januzaj, Chester

      My 3 rivals have a mix of the following players different to me - Dzeko (x2), Erikson, Lukaku, Sterling & Kompany.

      Should I do:

      Rooney > Sturridge
      Aguero > Dzeko
      Januzaj > Erikson (-4)

      Would really appreciate your help 🙂

        B) imo WR. Mata seems to be out of favour with Giggs. In reality this is just my guess.

          Fwiw I think Mata will start , Ramsey will get some kind of run out ,
          Would you consider Aguero > Dzeko , forget Yaya and upgrade Amal to Gerrard / Hazzard / Eriksen , ?

          Cheers, I don't think Ramsey will start either. I reckon he won't be risked for the Cup. Unlucky tonight, lost your way after a good start. Still hope though 🙂

        Based on the fact he has been injured and is likely to get another one, they have nothing to play for and they have a Cup Final looming?

          So I've just used the Gargatron for the first time, I've been saying all season that my poor captain choices is what's cost me so can anyone tell me how my results compare relative to other and if it's as bad as I thought it was:

          Captain score as % of overall score 22.41%
          Captain score as % of your highest possible captain score 48.42%
