Happy New Year From Fantasy Football Scout

Drawing breath before Gameweek 22 rolls in – I wish you Happy New Year from myself and all at Fantasy Football Scout.

As usual, I want to extend a huge thanks to all of you for the support you have given myself, the team and the site over the past year.

I wish I could spend more time being active and be more hands-on with the community, but that is very much one of my resolutions for 2018.

It will be a major focus for myself and Fantasy Football Scout over the next twelve months. We will be focusing development effort and new resource on it to, hopefully, enhance your experience. As a result, I plan to be “in and around” you guys more often.

Next, I thank all those who contribute to helping me produce and run the site.

To Paul and the editorial team for all their tireless effort in writing our words on the site and for our partners. To Jonty and the moderators who volunteer their time to keep the community running – I look forward to helping them more in the year to come.

And to Granville, Andy, Az and Luke who have joined me in growing the popularity of the ScoutCast over the past year. Episode two hundred and forty-five is next, which just seems bizarre.

I would also like to thank Ed and our new recruit Mat – our technical team behind the scenes who have been so vital yet again in taking things forward and keeping us running. We have further development work in test, and it really excites me to be working with them on realising our plans for 2018.

Next, I want to thank my family and what is left of my friends outside of Fantasy Football. Particularly my fiancé, Pip, and my two children who still stick around while I shut myself off each weekend and night after night. I don’t know how much longer they will tolerate me, but I’m so glad that they do.

Thanks again for sharing my passion and for choosing our pages to feed it and voice your opinions.

Many thanks again and Happy New Year to you and your families.

See you in 2018.

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

      That sounds dirty.

    6. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      For a hit. Coutinho >

      A) Alli (triple spurs attack)
      B) lanzini/antonio (double spurs and double west ham attack)
      C) coutinho > toure/gundogan punt

      1. keotes
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        A

      2. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Whatever you do, please don’t do C

      3. SkeletONv01
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Dont sell Cout IMO.

        1. keotes
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Why?

          1. SkeletONv01
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Amazing player, one of the best and most explosives guys in FPL IMO, wouldnt sell unless injured/banned for more than 1 game.

            1. 003
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Or unless sold to barca in Jan...

    7. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays

      Bought Salah at 9.0m so basically I'm committed to holding him ?

      1. Ravager
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Sadly.

      2. keotes
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Probably.... you’d want him back and he may not drop down to 9.5 (your selling price now)

      3. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, same here

      4. Yogi_mike

        He is only out for 1 game, next set of pl games is two weeks time. So hold

      6. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years

    10. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Would you:

      a) play Holgate vs ManU and Mee vs Liv
      b) Holgate > Jones/Christensen -4

      1. SkeletONv01
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        B sounds good for long term.

      2. Begbie.
        • 10 Years

        b much better long term.

      Happy New Year all. Quick question on the free hit chip - do you activate it and then go to make all your transfers as per normal? (except no points deducted)

    14. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Kane hasn't scored in 2018, shall I sell for a -20?

      1. SkeletONv01
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Cant you just WC him out?

        Happy 2018 to you all.

      • Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        What are RLC owners doing

        1. Lyonnais
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I sold him as part of a -4.

        2. Begbie.
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I'm 0.2 short for Lukaku > Aguero so thinking of sacrificing him to T. Carroll.

      • Lyonnais
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Would you rather play Depoitre v lei or DCL v MUN?

        Depoitre probably benched after playing 90 mins v Burnley but I guess he is more likely to score if he plays...

      • Optimus.
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Happy New Year to ye all

        It seems like only yesterday it was 2017

      • Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Out: KDB or Couts

        In: Alli, Eriksen or Son

        ??

      • GE
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Happy new year! 😀

        Would you change something here?
        Correct captain and bench order?

        Speroni
        Ota/Jones/Ogbonna/Duffy
        Salah/Eriksen (VC)/Son/Sterling
        Kane (C)/Morata

        Bench: Hennessey, RLC, Mee, Quaner

      • lordkippe
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        selling price for Salah is 9.7

        Looking like he will get a couple of drops before the city game. could be out longer than 2 weeks too. Worth the risk to get rid ? I see worst case its getting in for a -4 for 9.9

      • Rhys85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Happy New Year!

        So I have both Salah and Coutinho in my team. I have a lot of value tied up in Salah, but to get rid of one would make it much easier for me to get a Spurs mid in, probably Son.

        Chances of Coutinho playing?

        1. Mini Mane Mo
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Probably on subs bench

      • Rider on the Storm
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        HNY!
        Christensen out for otamendi and -4 pts is worth a hit?
