Over that time, the specific elements have grown and evolved considerably. We now have hundreds of articles, multiple video-feeds, social channels, tools and a whole lot more.

Whatever your level, we think you will find something of interest.
How it works…
For each passing Gameweek, we try to make everything on the site as simple as possible. However, there is a LOT to discover here, so make sure you refer to this guide to get the most out of Fantasy Football Scout.
We have divided our offering into the following areas. Read on for more information:
Tools
The Fantasy Football ScoutPremium Members Areacontains a plethora of metrics to help you select your FPL team each Gameweek.
Powered by Opta data, you can compare every player in the division using ourStats Tables. Fully customisable, Premium Members can analyse by position, price, team or a more bespoke selection for over 50 different categories including shots in the box, big chances, shots on target, key passes, tackles won, clearances, blocks and interceptions, expected goal involvement, expected goals prevented and much more.
These tables can be viewed over any period you wish, whether that be the last six Gameweeks, the last eight matches, or the last four away trips.
TheFlat-Track Bullyfeature allows you to filter the results by opposition while thePer 90tool shows you the data as an average per game, allowing for more direct comparisons between two players who have registered different amounts of game-time over your selected period.
TheComparison Toolallows you to put the data of two players, two teams, or the same individual across different periods of a season side-by-side, including heatmaps, pass-maps, shot-maps, xG shot maps, goal threat, creativity and defensive numbers.
Every Gameweek you can access the data that files into our system foreach matchin detail to compare your eye-test against the raw numbers.
UsingMy Stats Tablesyou can build your own comparison matrix, tailored to the statistics you prefer to analyse. The most famous of these is, of course,Joe‘sGoals Imminenttable, which highlights any player who has shot more than 10 times in the last four Gameweeks and scored only once. These are the assets that are due a goal.
Player Projectionsand theRate My Teamtool both use historical data to power predicted points for the season ahead, allowing you to assess the quality of your ever-evolving squad.
And, of course, as many of you will know, Premium Membership also provides access to the famedSeason Ticker, a fully-interactive fixture list that lets you sort each team by schedule difficulty and isolate which ones have the best and worst matches in the near and distant future.
