The publication of the 2013/14 Premier League fixture list brought us that little bit closer to the new season earlier this morning. While we’re still a month or so away from the release of player price lists across the Fantasy games, we can, nevertheless, begin to slowly asses the landscape for the campaign ahead – [...]

The Premier League fixture list is now published and available for our perusal. We’ll be working on our fixture tickers throughout the day, with the aim to get these to you as soon as possible to offer a means of analysis of the opening six Gameweeks and, if you’re a member, the entire season. Jose [...]

Welcome to the first of our weekly community round-up articles which will pick out some of the best activity and hot topics generated by the Fantasy Football Scout community over the previous seven days. We will also cover the community leagues and tournaments that are taking place throughout the season. Those running community tournaments are [...]

His debut season in the Premier League will forever live in Fantasy football folklore but ever since that 2010/11 campaign with Blackpool, it’s been all downhill for Charlie Adam. Back then, as the creative hub of Ian Holloway’s promoted side, Adam proved a cut-price phenomenon – with spot-kick and set-piece duties boosting his appeal, the [...]

After the first nine Gameweeks of the previous campaign, Andreas Weimann cut a peripheral figure for Aston Villa. Having started just five times under Alex McLeish in 2011/12, the young Austrian looked to have assumed the role of bench-warmer once again – with two starts and no goals to his name as November arrived, Paul [...]

Mauricio Pochettino made his first signing of the summer transfer window on Friday by acquiring Dejan Lovren from French outfit Lyon for a fee believed to be in the region of £8.5m. The Croatian international centre-half arrives at St Mary’s on a four-year deal and was reported to have been on the radar of a [...]

There was no better way for Sergio Aguero to stay in the forefront of our Fantasy thinking ahead of last season’s kick-off. The Argentine’s last-gasp title-winning goal against QPR will go down in legend as one of the Premier League’s defining moments – with Martin Tyler’s stunned reaction providing a worthy accompaniment from the commentary [...]

Snapped up from Sheffield United last summer, Matthew Lowton fitted the bill as part of Paul Lambert’s restructuring program at Aston Villa. Young, ambitious but with plenty yet to prove at the top level, the right-back arrived from Bramall Lane for a fee of around £3m and was immediately installed as a key component in [...]

Earlier this afternoon, Manuel Pellegrini was finally confirmed as the new man in charge at Manchester City. The Chilean arrives on a three-year contract and will be tasked with bringing silverware back to the Etihad after last term’s disappointing title defence and FA Cup final defeat, which ultimately led to the dismissal of Roberto Mancini: [...]

His arrival at Liverpool in last January’s transfer window was afforded little fanfare or heightened levels of expectation. Certainly, there was no denying Philippe Coutinho’s talents but the young Brazilian’s record prior to moving to Merseyside hinted at a player who was far from the finished product: With Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard and fellow new-boy [...]
