Last summer, we brought you the Fantasy Football Scout app.

Now, we are super proud to announce a number of changes to the Fantasy Football Scout site. These changes, we hope, will both improve your user experience and increase the number of tools available.

Exciting Changes to Fantasy Football Scout 13

Since the turn of the year, the incredible Tech Team have been diligently working hard to ensure that the Fantasy Football Scout site you know and love is improved and updated as we head into the new season.

The changes that we are implementing will be coming in at different stages ahead of the Premier League campaign. Today, we see the first wave of these changes live on site.

*Please note that the images in this article include dummy data for display purposes.

Exciting Changes: Brand New Today

Overnight, the site took on a new look and feel.

You will notice that the home page has changed. The old background has been removed and we’ve brought a new, lighter look that can be seen across all pages.

There is a brand new sidebar on the left of the screen (on desktop) which will give you access to some exciting new tools and instant access to our most popular tools and articles.

The main navigation bar has also been overhauled. This is to make it easier for you to find the pages that you value most.

The new Upcoming Gameweek (marked as FPL GW1 in the sidebar) and Current Gameweek pages are now in place. The Upcoming Gameweek has some features already working and more will appear once the new FPL game is live. You can read more about these exciting new pages below!

The Comments Section has also been refreshed with a new look. This will improve the user experience when you are chatting with the rest of the Scout community.

The Fixture Difficulty Ticker has also been given a refresh on the sidebar – and soon it will be on its own page on the main site, too. The Members version does still include extra features like customising team strength to your liking and more.

We have also updated the Benefits, Pricing, Registration and Welcome pages. This is to ensure it is as easy as possible to become part of the Fantasy Football Scout community. It is now also easier to manage your Membership yourself, without having to contact our Support Team, from our new Manage Subscription page.

If you aren’t already a Member here at Fantasy Football Scout, the new sign-up process will make it even easier for you to choose the right Membership tier or bundle for you.

What is coming with the launch of FPL 2025/26?

When FPL 2025/26 is live, you will notice some big changes to both the main site and the Members Area, starting on the home page.

Many of the widgets that you use most when visiting the Scout home page, such as the captaincy poll and Scout Picks, have remained but have a new look. Others have moved inside a brand new page called Upcoming Gameweek.

The Upcoming Gameweek page will be a go-to for Members chasing those all-important green arrows throughout the season. This page has lots of exciting new tools for you to utilise, including:

Differential Picks

Exciting Changes to Fantasy Football Scout 1

Recommended Transfers

Exciting Changes to Fantasy Football Scout 6

Team Goal Threat

Exciting Changes to Fantasy Football Scout 2

Player Form

Exciting Changes to Fantasy Football Scout 5

Minutes Risk Analyser

Exciting Changes to Fantasy Football Scout 4

Home and Away Performance Specialists

Exciting Changes to Fantasy Football Scout 3

If you log in to the Members Area, you will soon find a fresh new look. The load times on the Members Area have also been improved for the new season. This means that you won’t have to wait as long for the OPTA data to load.

We will also be adding some exciting new tools, such as the Captaincy Matrix. This tool will visually display the best captain options for the upcoming Gameweek based on RMT and the underlying data.

Fantasy EFL fans will be excited to hear that the Fixture Tickers will also find a new home. They will now be displayed on site as part of the redesign.

Exciting Changes: From FPL Launch to Gameweek 1

As pre-season kicks into full swing, you will notice regular changes on site. More new features will be added to the Upcoming Gameweek page as pre-season continues.

We will also be tweaking the Fixture Ticker to make it even easier to use.

You will also notice a link to a new Current Gameweek page in the new sidebar. The Current Gameweek page will go live as FPL data comes in. This means that after the Gameweek 1 deadline, you will have a one-stop shop for everything that is happening live. This includes your Gameweek live rank courtesy of our friends at LiveFPL.

Exciting Changes to Fantasy Football Scout 10

We aren’t done there!

Over the course of the season, the Members Area will get a further overhaul. There will be a new Members Dashboard coming soon with exclusive tools and widgets that will be improving constantly throughout the season.

We will also be adding all the new exciting features we create to the Fantasy Football Scout app. If you haven’t already, head to the Google Play Store or ISO App Store to download it for free.

Plus, if you head over to our YouTube channel, you will find the beginnings of change. We have commissioned all new branding and graphics for this season, which we started using this week. There are so many new and exciting things coming for 2025/26 to enhance your viewing experience!

I hope you are as excited for the coming season as I am. This really is the best ever time to be a Fantasy Football Scout Member.

Finally, please leave your comments below if you see any bugs or have suggestions for any further tweaks we could make. We’re always happy to have your feedback!

    First impressions are the graphics in the above article are illegibly small, as are the tiny round gravatars in the forums. Just a first impression, I'm sure there are many improvements.

    1. The Knights Template

      Ooooo the gravs are a bit small, whoever you are!

      1. Sheffield Wednesday

        4 days, 15 hours ago

        Your simple design still works of course. I may join the nudists.

          There’s a lot of space between the upvote button and the grav, space that could be filled in with a larger grav!

          Then I’d know who you are, stranger!

            Some of the graphics have increased in size as to be legible now. Quick response that.

      "Upcoming Gameweek - GW_" looks very promising.

      1. Sam FPLFamily
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        It is going to be excellent! I'm genuinely very excited about both the Upcoming and Current Gameweek pages.

    3. Sam FPLFamily

      I'll add this to our notes and see if we can make them a bit bigger!

        Thanks Sam - I'm viewing the site in a full screen window on a 32" monitor [Windows/Firefox fwiw]

        1. The Knights Template
          • 11 Years

          I’m using mine palantir and all seems fine!

            It's already undergone improvement as to render my opening remark about the graphics untrue.

            1. The Knights Template
              • 11 Years
              4 days, 14 hours ago

              They’ve always loved you!

                Yeah, but you're their favourite.

    It s to much white. Improve the background. We need some colour. The rest looks fantastic

    1. Sam FPLFamily
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 days, 12 hours ago

      There is a dark mode coming soon!

        ok that sounds great!

    Been searching and searching but can't find a Search Box to seek out articles on individual players, teams, rotations etc

          Can you see a search bar right at the top of page (the uppermost menu bar, to the left of your grav and on the same row as the social media icons)?

          1. Micks Heroes
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

            Many thanks S R I've found it.
            I had my screen set at 150% and this obliterated the top line of my screen including Social Media Icons. Search Box and Grav.
            All is well now.

    2. The Knights Template

      Sounds like a fine quest!

    Yeah some more contrast on the comments page would be nice especially for comment replies but it looks great otherwise

    1. Epic Fail

      Speaking of comments. We're definitely overdue an edit comment feature I reckon.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 4 Years
        4 days, 14 hours ago

        Definitely, I'd love a proper upvote / downvote system too

        1. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 5 Years
          4 days, 13 hours ago

          I find the whole upvote/downvote obsession on r/FantasyPL distracting.- everyone's trying too hard to be clever at times.

          1. Epic Fail
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I'll add this to the suggested list

  5. Epic Fail

    The site needs a dark mode.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 11 Years
      4 days, 14 hours ago

      How do I edit this comment?

      1. TheBiffas
        • 4 Years
        4 days, 14 hours ago

        Become a mod!

      2. Epic Fail

        First person that gets an edit comment feature sorted out will be excused from being put in this season's Wicker Man.

      Chrome extension does the job.

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 days, 13 hours ago

        An actual FFS site dark mode would be better. Especially for people that are using work laptops and can't install extensions. Not me of course. I would never browse FFS while at work.

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          4 days, 13 hours ago

          True, you can enable dark mode without an extension through Chrome appearance settings.

    3. Sam FPLFamily
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 days, 13 hours ago

      It's coming soon!

  6. BrockLanders

    When I press refresh it now goes to the top of the page regardless, not like it used to before where the page would go back to where you were when you refreshed.

    Does the same on both mobile and PC (Chrome).

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      I normally click the link on the last comment but yes, it flicks to the top for a split second that way now.

    2. Sheffield Wednesday

      Firefox in both Desktop and Mobile refreshes on the spot fine.

    The scrolling articles banner is horrible! Very distracting when you're trying to read other stuff on the page.

      I will feed this back now

  11. Reedy

    Another issue is that however wide you make the browser, you always have to scroll about another centimetre to the side so that you can access the vertical scroll-box!

    1. Reedy
      • 14 Years
      4 days, 13 hours ago

      Which seems now to be fixed!

      1. Reedy
        • 14 Years
        4 days, 13 hours ago

        No, it's gone again

        1. The Knights Template
          • 11 Years

          Tis shameful to answer your own posts!

            Reedy is a shameful person.

              • 14 Years
              4 days, 13 hours ago

              Can't deny that. I sank so low as to play the CWC Fantasy game.

            Nobody else was answering them 😉

            Google Chrome on Windows 10 Desktop, for anyone silently trying to fix this behind the scenes.

    2. Sam FPLFamily

      This is very odd as that's not something that I am seeing. I will feed it back!

      1. Reedy

        Cheers. I have a screenshot but not sure how to share it...I could email it?

          Yes, inconsistently. Firefox 2560x1440 @ 100%, the [outer] web page has limited scroll bars vertical and horizontal, but to scroll in the comments frame you have to either use a scroll wheel, or slide right in the outer page to the right to see the scroll bar for the comments frame. i.e. there are two scroll bars far right.

          1. Reedy
            • 14 Years
            4 days, 11 hours ago

            Yep, that's a better description - this is what I'm seeing. I doubt there are meant to be two vertical scrollbars; the inner one works effectively on its own.

            1. Sheffield Wednesday
              • 5 Years
              4 days, 11 hours ago

              And it's not all the time, the outer scroll bars come and go.

    You know me, I hate to moan, but it's a bit difficult to see distinct comment posts. It now looks like one big endless thread.

    Like it, fresh and homepage especially is more welcoming.
    Comments section needs to be darker, a heavier grey would do the trick.

    Target Arsenal, Pool, City and Newcastle for big names and the majority of the squad then use the following for bargains/fillers; Villa, Chelsea, Brighton and Everton. Avoid; Utd, Spurs, Brentford, Wolves and newly promoted.

    On my PC the pop-up ads now obscure the sides of the article, so that's crap.

      Ahhh the pop ups - joy!

      When will this be browser specific rather than site, sick to death of rejecting cookies etc.

      Which page are you on please?

      1. Jimrod™
        • 16 Years
        4 days, 11 hours ago

        Main landing page and this article - currently an ad on the right is half obscuring the "Reply" button, monitor is 24" set at 1080p.

          Ads are turned off on the home page so that in itself is an odd one! Try clearing cache, meanwhile I have reported this back to the tech team

          1. Jimrod™
            • 16 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Landing page doesn't have any ads showing now, I was cycling through a few pages before so perhaps something glitching on the PC with that!

              I've just looked at the refresh issue. If you do a CTRL + F5 now to get the latest code you should start being redirected to comments on refresh and not just when using links.

        Hey...same, no nav bars. Need to zoom to 200% to see 3 dots top right and 3 row menu thingy top left.
        Tried Firefox, Opera & Chrome. Desktop Win7

      Right so the advice I was given is to try clearing cache (ctrl + shift + r) or (ctrl + F5). Or try viewing the site in incognito or private browsing mode as that will confirm if it is a cache issue

    Please please please add a dark mode. All the white on the page is not very easy on the eyes. Thank you for all you do!

    We're heavily linked with Bilal El Khannouss.

    Is he any good?

      He is that good that he managed to be anonymous at Leicester City last season

      He's a pretty raw unpolished young talent and I would disagree with the other reply, I thought he looked a bright spark for Leicester at times but far from the finished article

    Well needed redesign, good job! And props for facing and reading all the comments on here too.

    Two things, I'd go with a slightly darker grey for original comments, and the same you have now for replies, just to differentiate them. Also, the reply fails might still be a problem since how posting/replying is still unchanged.

    Hi,
    Looks like we are getting close to a new season. Nice work on the upgrades, however… FPL Fixture Ticker! I can’t move the teams anymore. Is that a permanent thing?

    Elegant design, still need darker background.
    Just testing to see how my profile looks like to public...

    I love the updates to the site! So much nicer graphics and lots of useful functionalities. Can't wait to use them all once the season kicks off!!
