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.

      I originally planned to captain him. Thinking an angry backlash, 2 goals, prove a point about being subbed off etc

      Then I got doubts about him being dropped to the bench

        Lot of negative options on Rooney captain option. But i feel he would prove to Fergie SWANS game was just one off bad game.

        Keeping it on Mat for now. Lets see where i end at

    Merry Christmas everyone! I've decided to save transfer and keep Aguero and Cazorla, Mancini or Bale/Mata won't bite me in the ass.

      I've got a feeling that Mancini might have a surprise in store for you come Boxing Day. And not a very festive one! (Unless the bench is made from Nordic fir)

    Yeah but Norwich have chelsea, all I need is a straight answer who would be more likely to get the better score?
    And also who to cappy? Tossing up between Michu, Mata, Suarez and Berba

    Snodgrass/Mata/Yaya/Michu - Sterling benched

    Got some ideas 🙂

    A) Suarez/Snodgrass to Jelavic/Pienaar
    B) Suarez/Snodgrass to Berbatov/Bale

    Any ideas on what to do guys?!

    Was thinking of a -4:

    Out: Sess, Aguero
    In: Mata, Berbatov

    Thoughts please?

      Nah. Don't like it.
      I like Mata over Sess but Aguerro for Berba is a big gamble.
      Go with your gut.

      Only one problem

      If Suarez scores 6 goals then you have no Stoke clean sheets.

      Your true love is a bit of a bitch 😛
