Merry Christmas From Fantasy Football Scout!

1,616 Comments
Share

On this crispy Tuesday morning, I’d like to extend a very Merry Christmas from myself and all of those involved in Fantasy Football Scout! Yes it even calls for the use of a cheesy exclamation mark (shudder). Seriously though, best wishes to you all and your families.

Of course, I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank-you for your superb support over the past year, although I’ll save the sentimental stuff and yearly round-up for the New Year message.

For now, I’ll leave you with some exciting news – as we prepare two new key features to be rolled out in just over a week, in preparation for the January Wildcards. Later today we’ll be previewing one of those features, a Fantasy Football Scout community ranking table that will have a version available for members and non-members alike. Come back to us once the Queen has done with her message later today. Merry Christmas!

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    PIENAAR (C) ?

    HMMM.

    other punt could be Berbatov if we know Ruiz is back for sure.

    But Pienaar just struck me as an idea. I mean Wigan arent exactly strong right now, are they?

      I think Pienaar will score more then Sess, I transfer AJ to Pienaar 😉 And have Walcott on the bench too. Baines create every game moments to score a goal, but nobody scores 🙁 Thats why i prefer Mancity defenders(coz city can have clean sheet in away games). I have Zaba 🙂

          Yeh Long fro Hoolahan is a much better choice. Be shocked if Rooney does not start. Fergie stated last week that he needs more game time. Mata could be an option as captain if you fear Rooney being dropped

    Chances of Fellaini getting down to 7.3 before his return? Need that to fit in with my plans.

      +1, usually i would say yes, but am afraid that a few of the less committed players will forget to make transfers

    ok so I have 3 options

    1) Buy Bego and keep Foster as a playing sub until wc

    2) Keep Migs and Foster until wc then look again

    3) Buy Guzan and rotate with Foster for home games and maybe get Cameron to go with Huth?

        hmm, leaves in trouble as I'd want Clark AND an Arsenal defender next week. Seems a bit much to go -4 on defence
