Fantasy5

£100 prize every month in Scout’s Fantasy5 mini-league


Sponsored by Fantasy5


On top of the £10,000 weekly jackpot (and myriad other prizes) on offer in the free-to-play Fantasy5 game, we are delighted to announce that there’ll be £100 a month up for grabs to the top player in the dedicated Fantasy Football Scout mini-league.

Mini-leagues are a new feature of Fantasy5 this season, allowing you to compete amongst friends and track each other’s predictions over time.

Fantasy5 are also giving away £1,000 across 10 randomly chosen mini-leagues, so set yours up today to be in with a chance of being picked (mini-leagues must have a minimum of five entrants to be eligible).

HOW TO JOIN THE FFSCOUT MINI-LEAGUE


The league join code is PM92QCG or you can just click here to join.

HOW TO PLAY FANTASY5

The rules are simple: enter a team by picking one player from each of the five nominated fixtures each Gameweek and, if they all exceed their ‘points target’ for that match, you’ll be taking home all – or at the very least a share – of the £10k jackpot.

There is no budget in Fantasy5 – if you wanted a team packed full of the big names, then you’re free to do so.

Naturally, the so-called “better” players will have a higher points target and Fantasy5‘s projections are a good indicator as to who is expected to perform well on any given matchday.

For example, on the opening weekend, Mohamed Salah will have to score in excess of 12.5 points in Liverpool’s clash with Norwich if the Egyptian is to help you on the way to the jackpot.

By contrast, the Canaries’ Lukas Rupp only has a points target of 4.5 to better.

Fantasy5 are the fastest media outlet for live Fantasy points, displaying all player points from the five games in question as well as the live score and time – as shown in the above image.

The competition is limited to one entry per person per round and selections must be submitted before kick-off of the first eligible match.

If two or more entrants correctly select five players who all score more than their points target, then the prize pot is split among all winners.

SCORING SYSTEM

If you know anything about Fantasy Premier League, the Fantasy5 scoring system is easy.

    Guys, anyone know if Fornals has had much of a preseason...?

      A bit expensive for bench fodder

    2. Thomas Magnum

      Played more minutes than Benrahma, in fact he played all 90 minutes in the final 3 pre season games. Not sure what he got in terms of returns but I believe he scored in the latest one

  3. Zilla

    Chelsea XI: Mendy; Zouma, Chalobah, Rudiger; Hudson-Odoi Kovacic, Kante, Alonso; Ziyech, Havertz, Werner.

      Defence looks weak without Silva, Azpi, James and Chilwell.

    Any interest in Ferran Torres or Gundogan? curious to hear peoples thoughts. I like Gundo as a semi safe pick for pep roulette, but if Ferran is up top he good be a bargain.....thoughts?

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 8 Years

      Gundogan, but next week

  6. Garth Marenghi
    • 8 Years

    Does the starting front 3 tonight of ziyech, havertz, Werner diminish their chances of starting on Saturday?

    1. Non-template FPL is for Kin…

      Why would it?

      1. Garth Marenghi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Assuming 90, just 2 full days rest, but maybe that’s enough? That’s what I’m asking.

        1. Agger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          What's the difference between this and champions League weeks. They're top athletes not old men

    2. Joey Tribbiani
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty confident that team is gonna start vs Palace, maybe Azpi comes in for Chalobah

    1. el polako
      • 7 Years

      Ings would have won Golden Boot with the chances Watkins was getting last season.

      1. aflickering
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        he's not going to be getting those chances without grealish though. grealish's season last year in terms of creation stats was absolutely absurd, one of the best i've ever seen on a per game basis. that's not to say i think villa strikers are poor value though, i'm on ings myself.

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I am thinking about this too. Had Ings all week and now switched to Antonio. But if Ings is guaranteed to start, I want him.

    3. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Buendia also missing and now no Grealish, bit of a blow to Villa that

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ings is a genuinely top drawer player, he’s an absolute joy to watch too - whether it’s the creativity & flicks/through balls from deep, the pacy runs in behind or through the channels, or just the sheer lethal finishing ability

      The poor guy is just so unlucky with injuries

      Make hay while he’s fit & get him in your team (same with Antonio tbf, another absolute beast WHEN he’s fit)

    First RMT request of the year, help a brother out.

    Sanchez (4.0)
    Shaw Digne White Ayling Tsimikas
    Salah Bruno Mahrez Beundia ESR
    DCL Antonio Toney

    Biggest decison was Toney and ESR vs 4.5 striker and Greenwood and Antonio vs Wilson

    1. Non-template FPL is for Kin…
      • 11 Years

      Beundia and DCL got knocks

      1. Energetics
        • 9 Years

        Will monitor but think both might start. Thanks!

    Thoughts on this build?

    Sanchez - Steele
    TAA - Dias - Shaw - White - Tsimikas
    Fernandes - Son - Jota - Raphinha - Gilmour
    Bamford - Antonio - Ings

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      It's a really great team tbh

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No Salah is a bit too risky for me. But the team looks good.

  9. Budgies
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I’m torn between 2 sides:

    Team A
    Martinez, Foster
    Shaw, Tsimikas, Digne, Armartey, White
    Salah, Jota, Bruno, Mahrez, Benrahma
    Ings, Antonio, Obafemi

    Team B
    Bachmann, Foster
    Shaw, Tsimikas, TAA, Armartey, White
    Salah, Raphinha, Bruno, Mahrez, Benrahma
    Ings, Antonio, Obafemi

    Thoughts please

        B. I mean.

        1. Budgies
          • 5 Years

          Do you mean keep B as it is or Swap TAA out for Jota and being in another DEF?

    B) Benrahma (2 tough fixtures in the first 5, 0.5 cheaper)

      They need to spend less time on that and more on building an app, in my humble opinion.

    Do we think Adam Armstrong starts for Southampton at the weekend?

    1. el polako
      • 7 Years

      Who is he ?
      Should we care ?

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Striker, 28 goals last season for Blackburn. Looks pretty good tbf.

        More non pen goals than Toney for a weaker team

        1. el polako
          • 7 Years

          Oh ok.

    2. The Red Devil

      same doubt, saves 0.5 in toney & saints should score more than brentford

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Surely he starts, I’m sure we’ll get news

      2. SAUCY SALAH

        I have Mbuemo from Brentford and think I’d like to punt on Armstrong over Pukki

  16. Fatboy_Slim
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I've noticed a lot of people not having Aston Villa defenders even though they have 3 very favorable opening fixtures...so in keeping with that thought I need your suggestions on the below:

    TAA+4.5 Forward OR Cash/target+Toney?

    Reason being I feel I should be able to score more with the duo of villa defense+toney in 3 gwks as compared to TAA alone..

    What do you lot think? Thanks in advance!

  17. Punk of Personality
    • 9 Years

    Anything wrong with this lot?

    Sanchez

    TAA Shaw Tsim Cancelo
    Bruno Salah Barnes
    Toney Antonio Ings

    Bench: Coufal, Gilmour, Bissouma, Foster.
    £1M ITB

    Cheers!

    1. BrockLanders

      Nice

      1. Punk of Personality
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. Basically a toss up between Raphinha and Cancelo. Was also thinking of upgrading Toney to Iheanacho and Barnes to Raphinha. Can't be doing with the tinkering now lol

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Cancelo starts?

      1. Punk of Personality
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I reckon so! Walker is still resting and he'd be picked over Mendy regardless. Nothing is 100% with Pep though.

  18. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If you wanted to BBGW1 you could do something like this.....

    Sanchez (Bachmann)
    Shaw, Tsimikas, Veltman (Amartey, White)
    Salah, Bruno, Mahrez, Barnes (Benhrama)
    Ings, Antonio, Toney

    Obviously the problem there is no TAA. But you could do Ings + Tsimikas > TAA + 4.5mfwd when Ings' fixtures turn in GW3 and switch into a more natural 3-5-2. And realistically as long as they're both playing Tsimi would be better value than TAA, the problem is that they won't both be playing for long.

    If you're BBing you'd probably want to use subsequent transfers to realign in the coming weeks anyway, you'd want rid of Ings around GW3 anyway and you'd want rid of a 4.0 as well, so you'd have a few transfers aligning.

    Not really advocating it or anything, just throwing out an idea. I do think there's scope for a creative GW1BB though given the cheap options knocking about.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Always surprise team selections in gw1

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Meh, I've BB'd before in GW1 with no hassle. Generally there are enough certain to start players for it not to be a problem, bar the sort of shock non appearances you could get in other weeks. Indeed sometimes the lack of options for teams at GW1 (due to late arrivals or whatever) makes some players *more* certain to start than they'd usually be.

        That might not apply at all to the team I posted above mind you but I didn't give it that much thought, that was just thrown together.

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You are BBing Bachmann, Amarty, White, Benrahma

      10-12 pts would be a poor bb in my opinion.

      Then you also have 2-2.5m out of your starting team until you fix it

  19. merin
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Jota or Greenwood?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jota

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Either could return points.

      Toss a coin...

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If you’ve already got Bruno, Shaw, TAA & Salah (which you presumably have) go for Barnes

  20. HollywoodXI
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Well the Amartey bandwagon was short lived.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Vestergard has hardly played a minute of pre season so hardly. Amartey will start GW1 and possibly 2

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Don’t think it’s that clear cut tbf

    2. PocketZola
      • 7 Years

      Why?

    3 years, 1 month ago

    How do I shave off 0.5 in this team, so that I can upgrade Greenwood to Mahrez?

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Tsimikas
    Salah Fernandes Gwood Raphina
    Ings Antonio Toney
    ____
    Steele White Amartey Brownhill

    1.0 itb

    A) Shaw to Coufal
    B) Raphina to Sarr
    C) Save the 1.0 for a rainy day
    E) Get Grealish instead
    D) Upgrade Toney with the cash instead (to who though?!)

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      TAA

    2. Fatboy_Slim
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Raphinha to Harrison....I listen to everyone telling the potential points return for him, but Harrison exactly matched him at 4.4 points per match with 8 goals and 19 assists last season, and is equally threatening...granted Raphinha has set piece duties, but again they have exact underlying numbers ..I saved 0.5 the same way

      1. Fatboy_Slim
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry that's 10 assists

    3. Garth Marenghi

    who are the main contenders for a rotation partnership with Ben White? 4.5mil to spend.
    Im not particularly interested in home away rotation, but more decent fixture rotation.
    any help appreciated, cheers everyone.

      Veltman, but pair him with Bachmann to avoid double Brighton defence.

        Id really rather have Sanchez, are brighton the only viable options?

          In terms of pure fixtures Newcastle would be next best.

          For a more popular option though maybe Ayling from Leeds. Those two would give you bre, EVE, bur, NOR, bur/new, WHU over the first six, which isn't the worst.

        It's not that dangerous if it goes well 🙂

    2. Steve The Spud

      Ayling not the worst, good fixtures in 2 and 3 before whites good run kicks in

    3. BucketHead

      Ayling from Leeds is who I went with

    Is anyone getting Grealish?

    1. Gazpilicueta
      • 10 Years

      roughly 27% of 4.6 million people

        Am I supposed to laugh?

        1. Zilla
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It's a fact lol

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe next GW. I might upgrade Greenwood to Grealish if he is likely to start.

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 9 Years

      Haven’t seen him in all that many drafts on here. Seen more Gundogan and Mahrez recently from memory

  24. The Frenchie

    Team before Wildcard (probably on GW3). What do you guys think?

    Sanchez
    TAA - Shaw - Coufal - Tsimikas
    Salah - Bruno - Mahrez - Greenwood
    Ings - Antonio

    Foster - Amartey - Bissouma - Obafemi

      Forget armartey Leicester agreed fee for Vestergardd

      1. artvandelay316

        If Vestergaard is a direct swap for Amartey, just have both so you know one can replace the other?

  25. TheComRED-YNWA

    Please choose two mids that total 13m or less:

    A) Barnes
    B) Benrahma
    C) Raphinha
    D) Sarr
    E) Willock
    F) Buendia, if back
    G) Someone else

      Mbeumo and Barnes

  26. PocketZola

    New apples in town, what do you think?

    Sanchez
    Taa shaw tsk
    Salah Bruno raph Barnes
    Ings toney Antonio

    Subs, steel, Gilmour, white, Ayling

    I don't know what to do with the 1 mil? And should I downgrade ayling to Amarty?

    1. Zero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That's pretty much the template, which is no bad thing. I'd keep Ayling imo, by the time you're not using Tsim, you won't have Amartey as an option.

      1. PocketZola
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        That's what I was thinking, maybe Gilmour to esr because of covid and worse case scenario or save the 1 mill?

        1. Zero
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Save the 1m imo - when Lukaku (or another) starts firing I'd personally like to be able to flexibly get them in!

    3 x Villa
    3 x Liverpool including Mane & Salah
    2 x West Ham
    2 x Leicester including Vardy
    Plus 3 x Brighton

    Target 1st 3 weeks and then WC after transfers deadline.

    Really tempted to do it.

    1. The Frenchie
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Man U?

      1. el polako
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not to start with, maybe on WC.

    Right then

    Ings or Watkins ?

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 8 Years

      A

    Bummed on picking three of the five below. Imo:

    Wilson (Pros: ASM has been improving on his assisting and final ball, on penalties, usually in the bonus if he scores, fixtures good. Cons: Newcastle not the best, many forwards projected better odds in GW1)

    Ings (Pros: strong team, clinical, proven. Cons: made of glass, appeared to drop back last game more than Watkins when not in possession, Buendia may not play GW1, not on penalties with El G on the pitch)

    Toney (Pros: plays the first game of the season against Arsenal so has huge price-rise capability if he scores, clinical in Champ, on penalties. Cons: Brentford are new to the PL, unproven in PL, could drop in price quick if he's off to a slow start, high ownership)

    Antonio (Pros: proven, can take penalties, strong team, good preseason, decent fixtures. Cons: can potentially be invisible at times, has an injury history, chance of not taking penalties)

    Mahrez (Pros: incredibly strong team, good preseason, *potentially* less Pep roulette, can take penalties - may be more pens with Grealish now. Cons: Pep roulette, first fixture is Spurs, awkward price point to move funds in team)

    Think I'm going to go for Toney, Antonio, Ings. Wilson would be my choice over Toney, but that match day 1 fixture has killer potential. Not really a point to the above, more a ramble than anything! Good luck everyone for Friday.

      You think first fixture being spurs is a con? They are going to get torn apart.
