As we gear up for the start of the 2019/20 season, we are frantically working behind the scenes to make improvements for our site users and subscribers.

We have a number of exciting developments in the pipeline but we’ll need an additional body to help us roll out the changes we have planned.

Our previous call to arms was for editorial staff but we are now looking for a web developer to assist with the technical side of things.

We work remotely so location shouldn’t be an issue for anyone considering applying. Flexibility of hours would be desirable, however.

We are looking for the following skills from our candidates:

Required

  • Strong proficiency in JavaScript and CSS, including DOM manipulation and the JavaScript object model
  • Proficient with CSS2/CSS3
  • Knowledge of Accessibility and Web Standards
  • Experience with both Responsive and Adaptive Web Design

Beneficial

  • A working knowledge of Git
  • Experience with PHP

Ideal

  • Experience of React.js
  • Knowledge of WordPress

Based on past experience with our job adverts, we need to stress that it may take a little time to look through and respond to applications. But if that doesn’t put you off and you want to get involved with the next chapter of the site, please drop us a line with your CV at jobs@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk

          From what I've read tielemans overperformed stats last year and perez is likely to partner vardy... Giroud I think is flying under the radar and could well be Chelsea's main man which would definitely put him ahead of King for me. Could all be wrong!

    With Godfrey potentially out as well as Zimmerman for Norwich, Hanley could be a playing 4.0 defender for at least the start of the season. Also, Farke is known to leave his lineup unchanged despite regular starting players coming back from injury/suspension, if they're playing well. Of course, Norwich aren't going to be particulary solid at the back, but a starting 4.0 defender is always nice.

    Anyone with experience of Fan Team?
    I see they're running a mini-league with 250k prize pool and would be interested to hear more about it

    Any love for Giroud? 2 goals in pre-season and surely bound to start the majority of matches?

    How awful is this:

    Fab - (Button)

    Robertson - TAA - Digne - (Dunk) - (Kelly)

    Perez - Salah - Bilva - Sigurdsson - (Jorginho)

    Vardy - Giroud - Deulo

    Cheers!

          And then I've spread the money from not having another big hitter as much as I can I reckon? Unless you can recommend some other picks?

            All players facing the same dilemma. I love my team with just one big hitter, but know the C options will crush me in the end. It’s tempting, but not advisable imo.

    Is Guaita worth considering? I do appreciate the loss of AWB, but seems possibly better value than Ryan if you can stretch the 0.5

    I've been changing my team all day, and I've ended up with this :
    Pope
    VVD | Laporte | Digne | Maguire
    Salah | Siggy | KDB | Perez
    Kane | King

    What do you think of it ?

    I've built a predictive model using forecast points (from FFS) + applied weights (up/down weight FFS scores - which I'll be adjusting throughout pre-season). Team is:

    Ryan (Begovic)
    TAA, VVD, Coleman, Boly (Kelly)
    KDB, Salah, Siggy, Zaha (Hayden)
    Auba, DCL (Nketiah)

    Model is built to optimise for the highest forecast points possible.
    Not bad 🙂
