Sky Sports Focus – Fantasy Football Scout League Details

As many of you are already aware, the Sky Sports Fantasy Football game was launched earlier this month, allowing Fantasy managers the first chance to tinker with their teams for the campaign ahead. Having clinched top spot in the League of Leagues for the past two seasons, we’re looking to defend our crown once again and hope to make it three times running this year:

For those playing the Sky Sports game, we’ve set up an official Fantasy Football Scout league – the name is FFScout and the pin number to join is 8009000.

There’s far more than just bragging rights involved here, though. Once again, we’re offering a cool £1,000 for the Fantasy manager who finishes at the summit of the Scout league – offering plenty of incentive to assemble a team and get involved.

Over the next few days, we plan to roll out our Player Price List analysis articles, breaking down the options position by position and offering insight into each player’s potential.

Once the season gets underway, we’ll be bringing you hints and tips in our weekly Friday afternoon “Sky Sports Focus” articles, analysing the market trends and looking at transfer tactics for the Gameweek ahead.

Fortunately, our regular contributor d1sable will again be at the helm to offer his expert advice – having finished inside the overall top 10 last season, he’s gunning for the top prize this time around.

    Gonna be some tough calls this year, if in doubt i'll start with the cheapest:

    Cesc/Hazard

    RVP/Rooney

    Walcott/Ozil/Ramsey

    Silva/Yaya

      Not tough at all!

      Hazard > Cesc general goal threat

      Rooney > RVP value / points per million

      Walcott / Ramsey > Ozil again goal threat = BPs

      Silva > Yaya I'll eat my hat if Yaya can convert over 30% of his attempts this year

        Although Drogba under Mourinho wasn't great. There were some good posts awhile back about how the central striker under Mourinho is not a great position for Fantasy points. Drogba's best Prem League years were under different managers.

          Indeed Jonty! Drogba was at his peak under other managers not with Mourinho. Nevertheless, Mourinho has been looking for his central striker for ages and maybe Costa is THE one 🙂 Hazard and Cesc to supply the assists, he can be a good option

          Maybe he doesn't need a lot of touches to score though? Could just be poacher style goals. Klose wasn't a flat track bully, nor van Nistelrooy, nor Inzaghi but they still scored almost only from inside the area.

    Really think some of the valuations on here are crazy. Only scored a measely 112 last yr.

    Suarez and Aguero were 11m last year, cant see him being much more.

      think the 'problem' with someone like rvp is his price rose so high over the seasons. it seems harder to come down quickly than. for example say he had the exact same season as last season but it came after two 150 point seasons rather than 250 point ones i bet he wouldn't be so high this time

      I think FPL do quite well with their valuations. I'm sure it's in respect of both how a player did previously AND some sort of equation to make the game affordable across the whole range...an equation we'll never work out. I'm expecting just a handful of players over 10 mill no matter what the previous form...

      To clarify

      1) Too many players

      2) Hummels = Herrera

            [elsewhere] I made a long post about the strengths of Sanchez and why he'd be perfect for Liverpool, ending in a possible first 11, with shaqiri in there too, and then said 'I wonder why there's been no rumours about Benzema leaving with Suarez arriving'. It was late, was kinda tired, someone noticed the next day. I don't know what happened, but it sounds worrying. That's not mixing up Benzema with Messi, it's ...something.

    • 11 Years

    Mods/God(not Fowler), last year Coutiandbelow5th did an incredible table of preseason appearances for each premieleague team which resulted in a few hottopics and he is apparently taking it up a notch this year with;

    5 - looks like he played the whole match
    4 - most of the match
    3 - played a half
    2 - "Just fackin' run around a bit"
    1 - Michel Vorm's World Cup.

    He has however said in a post that he would appreciate some help if needed. Is it possible to spread the word somehow? I know Doos and fans of other teams followed their own teams pre-season in depth last year and it would be great to incorporate all that knowledge of email it to him/someone to collate nicely.
