Merry Christmas From Fantasy Football Scout

Here it is – the one day of the year where I legitimately attempt to prise mind, body and spirit away from Fantasy Football. And here I am posting this.

I will keep this short, saving a more prolonged retrospective and preview of things to come for the New Year’s message.

However, while I’m here and feeling warm and fuzzy, I’d like to speak for everyone associated with Fantasy Football Scout and extend a huge thank you for your fantastic support and for the contributions you make to what is, in my opinion, one of the very best football communities around.

Now, for once, I encourage you to tear your retinas’ away from the screen, shelve those thoughts of overlooking Zlatan as captain and edge back to families and friends. They may not be able to help guide your captaincy dilemma but we’ll all be here to help when you get back.

From all at Fantasy Football Scout, we wish you and your family a very merry Christmas.

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

    Merry Xmas everyone!

    Here goes, my team is

    DDG, Jakupovic
    Lovren, vertgohen, mcauley, kingsley, brown
    Hazard, walcott, mane, siggy, capoue
    Carroll, kane, costa

    I have 2ft's and no mitb.

      with 2 FT, it may be wise to find a way to bring either Sanchez or Ibra. Both have potential to explode in the upcoming weeks. How you choose to do so is your choice but Kane is dispensable IMO

    Sorry post not finished.

    Actually i have 0.6 itb and a wc (saving for aguero).

    A) DDG to Courtois
    Kingsley to Jones
    Capoue to Leko

    B) DDG to Courtois
    Vertonghen to Keane (bur)
    Kingsley to Jones

    Both will cost -4

    Is it worth it?

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Merry Xmas

      I wouldn't do those for a hit. Can you afford Kingsley to Jones?
      Keep DDG for Sunderland game

    I'm not shelving any fantasy football thoughts today! I get to meet up with family 'opponents' and for once, I can sit proud at the top of our table - I KNOW a gathering of family competition is going to bring a fervent wave of Fantasy conversation!

    Just returned home for Christmas and lo and behold I find out that my sister has been playing Fantasy Football this season for the first time (got a new boyfriend who apparently loves football) and she's above me in the rankings! Got my work cut out this season to save some face..

    Already taken a hit. Pedro to lallana and Kane to ibra.

    Do I need to do anything with this team?

    Foster (Grant)
    Jones Walker Amat (Mcauley kingsley)
    Lallana Sanchez Erickson siggy Phillips
    Origi ibra (Costa)

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years

      Please leave it as is. Pedro to Lallana for a hit was not necessary.

    2. The Big Fella

      Tough keeper decision this week

    Merry Christmas!!

    Lovren & Firmino rested against Stoke?

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Woah, where's this come from?

      1. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        No source implies its just speculation

      2. rdamjan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Lovren on 4YC, big game next against MCI. Abou Firmino i read here.

        1. NATSTER
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          That sounds sensible for Lovren.

    2. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No chance Firmino is rested.

    Worth doing Ashley Williams > Jones for a hit?

    Everton likely to concede and Utd have a good chance of a cleanie

    1. Epic Fail

      I wouldn't.

          Hi you. How's the season going?

          1. Epic Fail
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Some big red arrows 3 weeks in a row now. Hopefully turning the corner starting from tomorrow. You all prepared for tomorrow?

            1. Lateriser 12
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Been prepared for a while. I've made a few good decisions off late. Got in Ibra for Kun instead of Costa. Got Mane Alli Eriksen in.

              Have gambled on Jrod now

              Who you fancy for the next few weeks?

              1. Epic Fail
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Jrod could be good as long as he gets the game time. Definitely a gamble though but one that could pay off.

                Only person I'm really thinking about at the moment is Kun before the masses jump on. But I may wait one week looking at the fixtures and hope he doesn't kill it in his first game back.

                Ridiculous aint it. You have a team that is doing really well, and then all of a sudden that same team is crap.

                  Gotta change a lot this season, loving the challenge so far with so many options.

    A merry christmas to all!
    Lovely day of doing nothing but chilling with the family. Already gave each other gifts yesterday so the kids are playing with their new toys. Me and the mrs eat, drink, read and sleep. A game of footy tonight would've been nice though...

    4. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Eden Hazard. Proven, pens, worst opponent, possible false 9, best team in the PL, differential.

      Or Siggy.
