Season Predictions 2012/13 – View From The Scouts

Over the last week or so the Fantasy Football Scout fold have been sharing our innermost thoughts with regards to some of the most “Burning Questions” ahead of the new campaign. To accompany our views there, here’s our annual quick-fire round of predictions, where we let you know the players each of us are tipping to shine in a new season…

As our entry from last year will show you we’re prone to making the odd mistake (or seven). Steve Kean, eh? Who would have thought he would still be in a job. Even after he got Blackburn relegated, as half of us rightly predicted.

Here follows our thoughts on the year ahead. Soak it in and then join the discussion and offer your thoughts and counter-comments down below.

Andy, that’s my good self, kicks things off for 2012/13 with what is no doubt a bit of a fancy for one player in particular. And it’s not even Gylfi Sigurdsson. This is almost partisan from our resident all-rounder.

Second out of the traps is Big Dunc. One of two Everton fans on the Scout payroll our resident toffee can’t help but get a little bit excited at the prospects of his club. Is he mad? We’ll find out by May.

Having signed mid-way through last Stilicho gets his first Scout attempt to show everyone just how prophetic he is. His opinions on Norwich pretty much separate this gent from everyone else involved so he’s either a mad heretic or the one we should all be looking to in the future.

Granville gets a weekly platform on the Scoutcast to discuss and debate with Mark on all things Fantasy Football related. In this post he has, perhaps unsurprisingly, decided to pick some answers from the red side of Manchester. What’s more surprising is that we can see some light blue too.

Also having his first dabble at infamy is Jonty. With no Premier League allegiances for this Brighton fan, his picks can come untainted by any frivolous behaviour. He wisely agreed with me about a certain West Brom player.

Anorak may be our resident specialist when it comes to the men in black but he also likes to think he can be a dab hand at Fantasy football too. As far as top goalscorer predictions, he marks himself out as the black sheep of the Scout fraternity by being the only one not to tow the party line.

Mark The guv’nor brings up the rear and clearly has a problem with Swansea’s prospects, whilst talking up that Southampton mob. Mark backed Grant Holt last season and, similarly, he’s going with Rickie Lambert to turn up with a similar goal spree. Oh, and he still fancies Leighton Baines. Must be the haircut or the record collection.

          Yes Lightspeed.

          Especially Monday. I think he will play in hole behind Roony (Rvp coming off bench at some point)

          Although Kags is suited to hole, he can play out left, or deeper in mf.

          I think he is going to be a regular for united this year, in various positions and maybe one of the reasons they lost Internet on Modric.

          I could be wrong but I am keeping in my mf until something and happen.

          But, at least I will have 8.5m to look for a quality replacement if that does happen. That's my thinking....

        Do you not think he's good to back over the length of the season? I've seen him play on a few occasions and he seems like a decent winger. Picking a £4.5 MF is proving tricky.. I had Puncheon but Gaston Ramirez changed those plans .-.

      I haven't looked at the fixtures but you should get a lot of save points. If Norwich still have a leaky defence you'll end up with 1 or 2pts every week. I used to have Green/Jussi but upgraded to Schwarzer Green because 9m combos are a tad too weak.

      Same issue.. Thinkin Noble for the home game. However, points from Noble will be through penos and set pieces. Difficult to predict. Graham on the other hand is playin against a club he's played in the championship. Can see him do well. Infact i may bench Noble and start Graham now
