Merry Christmas from Fantasy Football Scout

1,196 Comments

Christmas is all about family. About sharing. About goodwill to all men.

I do a bit of that, though my day also involves points hits, rotation concerns and whether Harry is going to blank at Wembley.

I don’t wish this on you but, deep down, I know it’s too late. You’re just as lost in this as I am.

So that only leaves me to thank you for reading this and, of course, on this special day, for all your support for what we do here at Fantasy Football Scout.

Having this link to thousands of like-minded folk, similarly happy to burn hours contemplating budget strikers, is a comfort and a massive gift in itself. So thank you.

While I urge you to rejoin your friends and family, or at least find a channel showing Die Hard or Escape to Victory, I should also remind you that our Scout Picks and Captain Sensible articles will be with you later today.

Eat well, drink relatively sensibly and enjoy the day.

Merry Christmas and thanks again.

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

    Kane brace / hattrick in a row?

    As a kane captainer last week i feel it's a trap!

    Merry Xmas guys!

      Between him and Salah. Salah might get rested and Kane is surely starting and pushing for the record.

      Depoitre looks like a transfer waiting to happen.

      I'd just downgrade Austin to Quaner (cheapest of the lot and equally nailed) and upgrade Delph (waste of a City spot).
