Join the Scout Team – Trials Open!

It’s been a while since we added to the team and, given that we’re still going and this Fantasy Football thing is kind of taking off, we believe it’s time we added to the squad – so effectively this is the beginning of our scouting mission!

To begin with, what we’re really looking for most of all is “talent” – namely Fantasy Football obsessives who are excited by the idea of leaving the stands, getting out onto our pitch and playing an active role in the site or wider community.

Obviously, there are some pre-requisites but, for the initial search, we’re not focusing on a specific position, so your skills could be from different fields:

  • Maybe you can write Fantasy Football articles.
  • Maybe you’ve created and managed your own Fantasy Football site and now want to be part of a team.
  • Perhaps you have experience in a Fantasy Football community or even any community.
  • Or you could run a Twitter or YouTube channel.

If you can do any of those things or, amazingly, perhaps all of them, then we’d love to hear from you.

The nature of the role will depend on the person and skillset. We have a core team who’ve been with us for years, so we’re a loyal and flexible company to work with if it’s a good match.

Obviously we’d kick-off with a trial and then likely look at a part-time contract, so you’d need to be happy with freelance work to begin with at least, but if things go well this could extend into a much longer-term deal.
Even if you’re not looking for a gig, but you’ve just fancied writing an article a week and have an idea to pitch us, then please get in touch.

As a company, we work remotely for much of the time but, ideally, we’d meet and work together on occasion, so being willing and able to work in London from time to time would also be a big advantage.

If all that sounds interesting and you’d like to put your name forward, please drop us a line at jobs@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk with some indication of what you could add to our line-up and if possible examples of relevant previous work – be it a link to an article, website, Twitter channel or YouTube channel. CV’s are good too but not essential.

N.B. In our experience, this process can take some time and, as we’re in the middle of the season, we may be slow responding to applications, so please be patient.

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

    The snow has been pretty intense today and the Spurs game is going ahead. What makes people think that tomorrow may not.
    And I’m 34 and clean shaven.

        1. Rik Waller
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          That was a while ago. I've put on a few pounds since then, so not in such good shape

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 12 Years

        Nice . Apply .

  4. Ghost Gooner
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    ML rival is going to get 19pts off his bench if the game is called off 😡

    I hope it goes ahead or I'm done 😥

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      That’s filthy. He should offer to screw up his team for next GW if he has any honour.

  5. Haugli
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus i will climb to 97th place in the world if the game is postponed!

    1. Rik Waller
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not seen Jesus on here for a while mate. Try his mobile

    2. STEP rOVERS

      You had 121 point week wow!

      Keep going mate! Doing brilliantly

    3. World XI
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I hope it's on as I have 3 city players pending and only 3 points on the bench

  6. barracuda

    Sad to know that Sterling won't be involved tomorrow..

    1. barracuda

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)

      Not sad at all. Maribappa standing in the wings.

        My last sub, well done to you 🙂

  7. Dr. DOOM
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Ota to Davies worth it? 2FT. 1.7itb.

    Already got Alonso and VVD. No other issues in the team apart from Lingard (bench)

  8. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Just applied. When do I start Mark?

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 7 Years

      First article will be Kiko related?

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Very likely 😀

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 7 Years

          Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Kiko

            Spot the differential 😉

      Are you a white middle aged bearded man?

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Nope, I’m a rolling pin, which should help with FFS quotas.

        1. Non-template FPL is for Kin…
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Great news.

  9. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Hoping for the worst (game cancelled tomorrow) and preparing for the best (Kun and friends having a dgw 31).

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Will the game go to 31 if postponed? They can’t play their current game that GW, so how could they play this one?

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Neither have a game that week (Arse due to play Leic and Citeh to play Brig) so the obvious solution is to play it that week

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Ah right cheers Jimmers.

          Just withdrawn my FFS application 😀

          Could certainly do with two more players in GW31

      2. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        If it is postponed it will go to St. Patrick's Day gw31.

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Sweet, happy with that Ogie

      3. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        they couldn’t play gw32 before because Brighton will have fa cup. but now neither Man City or arsenal have fa cup games that week

        1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          *gw31

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years

      Almost zero chance it gets cancelled tomorrow imo. When was the last time a PL game got cancelled due to weather?

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        This is not ordinary snow though. The is Beast from the East snow.

      2. Yozzer
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        2010 I think it was.

        1. Yozzer
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Reply fail

        2. Numb
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          And that was probably when Blackpool were up there with no undersoil heating.

      3. Numb
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Or, more specifically, the last time a PL game in London got cancelled due to weather

        1. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          The pitch mightn't necessarily be the problem - its the surrounds of the ground. There is a blizzard forecast not a few snow showers

          1. BobB
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            It won't be the pitch or the ground, it will be travel safety

      4. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Be hilarious if it is and Arsenal get awarded the 3 points due to PEPs gang not getting to the ground on time (ref some Sun article).

    3. Non-template FPL is for Kin…
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'm still trying to weigh up the pros and cons of a cancelled game

    4. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      If it's cancelled tomorrow it will probably move to GW31, but it won't be a DGW, just two less teams having blanks.

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Silly me. If the City Ars game goes to gw 31, I'd consider wildcarding for that gw.

  10. Alex_thekid
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Those who have squandered there triple captain on Kane in gw 22 would you consider using the free hit Chip in 1 of the double gw and bench boost in the other? thanks it's my 1st season playing and could do with some advice on maximizing my Chip's

    1. Yozzer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      To be honest I'm building up for the 31. Wildcarding in 32 to lose the dross

      After that I'll play as I see fit. Too hard to plan that far ahead for me. The game changes so much.

      1. Alex_thekid
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks that's my thoughts at the moment till we know more I'm open and not trying to over think things

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'm actually considering this. I'd FH in 34, WC in 36 and BB in 37. The reason I'm even considering it is that a number of the players I'll have in GW31 also have decent enough fixtures in 32, 33 and 35 for me to navigate my way through those weeks with minimal damage.

    3. Bunk Moreland
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, Ill FH in a dgw.

  11. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Strong possibility they will postpone tomorrow. Dreadful forecast, evening kick-off. Travel not safe.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah with city travelling down in the morning they need to make an early decision.

    2. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Slippery pavements, flooded underground, snow falling of roofs.

      Cancellation looking very likely

    3. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Strong possibility they will go ahead. The only reason they are called off is safety of fans. Snow can be gritted. Only ice causes problems. In the ground.

    4. Non-template FPL is for Kin…
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      More importantly, Arsenal Fan TV will find it difficult to record their videos. That's the deciding factor for me

    5. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Also Wengo gonna have difficulty zipping up his full length puffa jacket.

      Might get a chill.

  12. finnish92

    Long term options:
    A) Upgrade Wilson to Firminho
    B) Upgrade Pogba to Mahrez

    Watching highlights from the spurs v palace game again. How the hell Bavies ended up with no attacking returns is baffling!

  14. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    CM + Kun -> Eriksen + Firmino (-4)?

  15. JurgenRodgers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Ml rival has 11 points off the bench if Ars/Cty is postponed or if it goes ahead he has Sterling Aguero Mkhitaryan & Aubameyang vs my Otamendi..

    Not sure what id like to happen lol

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      #THFC: Vorm (C), Trippier, Dier, Foyth, Rose, Sissoko, Winks, Lamela, Son, Lucas, Llorente. #COYS

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Might have to transfer Son at this rate.

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Actually, this lineup makes me think Son is locked in to start GW29. He barely played last weekend (while Lamela and Lucas played more), and both Lamela and Lucas also are playing today. I don't see Lamela getting three starts in a row with Son only getting one.

    Evening guys, Whats your thoughts on these ideas for my team. I have 2 ft but I can't figure how to use them:

    GW29: Sterling + Depoitre > Milly + Firmino
    GW31: Otamendi + VVD + KDB > Mane + any two defenders -4

    current team:
    Pickford
    Alonso,Otamendi,VVD
    Sterling,Salah,Shaqiri,KDB,Walcott
    Kane,Wilson

    elliot,depoitre,ogbonna,dunk

    Should i keep faith in Rondon, given that they have to win if they want to stay in PL and they have match in GW 31?
    Tempted to ditch for Murray.
