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.

      Free hits don't take away minus points if I'm correct.

    Pick one to start-

    A - Ric (mcy)

    1. GHB
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Free hit is same to mine although I have shaw and Alonso rather than Maguire and duffy

  7. Robson-Canoe
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Is Firmino to Agüero worth a hit?
    The De Bruyne injury worries me + Agüero has only had 1 good FPL game in City's last 8.

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I'd take a -16 to get Kun over Firm

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      No, City at Liverpool next.

      City’s record at Anfield is woeful, Aguero isn’t showing much form and Liverpool are quite tight at home

      I’m looking to make that move after Liv v MC

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

        He's hit the post about 4 times in the last 2 matches.

        Those go in and the question of form is irrelevant.

  8. Azathoth
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Play Duffy or Cristensen?

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

      Christensen.

      Arsenal aren't exactly in free flowing attacking form atm. 3 minutes of Sanchez brilliance against CP the exception, but Chelsea aren't CP.

      The total opposite can be said for Chelsea's defensive form.

  9. Lateriser 12

    Good luck ladies!

    Adrian
    Masuaku Alonso Robertson
    Alli Son(TVC) Sterling Arnie
    Kane(TC) Aguero Mounie

    Speroni RLC Mee Long

      Some team that. Jealous.

      1. TOPCAT1960
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yes agreed, in the present circumstances that could be a THE team

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

    Anything new on Coutinho?

    1. si
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Still leaving.

    2. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Doubt he wears the same strip or boots every match, so they'll most likely be new.

  11. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    What are the mods and cons doing. Capping Kane. Or tcing Kane.??

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Mark will find out if he’s playing and decide at 11:29.

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        And will not tell right 🙂 ;

  12. Doar1986
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    probably the burning question of the day but

    A. Eriksen
    B. Ali
    C. Son

    Thanks,

    1. si
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Son, Ali, Erik. But all likely to deliver

    2. SB007
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A

  13. George James
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Play one

    A) Mee
    B) Niasse
    C) Richarlison

    1. SB007
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A

  14. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Do we really think Salah will fall .3? If he is touch and go for City then I can't see him dropping more than .2.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He will be out for minimun two weeks, if that is true I would say that he is a major doubt for City game.

    2. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Great managers kept enough in the bank to get him back regardless. 😉

  15. Gunned Down
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Choose one please:

    1. Alli + Son
    2. Alli + Arnie
    3. Arnie + Son

    1. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      1

  16. Joey Barton and Friends
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    How long is Salah supposedly out for?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 4 months ago

        2 weeks, so not too bad considering the next premier league fixtures after this are 2 weeks away anyway

        1. Joey Barton and Friends
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks a lot.

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

      How bad is Elliot injury?

      Elliot to Adrian -4 (other keeper is Fabs)

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Play fabs I reckon

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Not getting into the dgw hype trap this time, can only remember one or two times where it actually went well. There's been just as many times you'd have been better served just keeping a sgw player with a good fixture! It's too close apart rotation will surely bite

        1. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Depends on Who you Remove..
          I removed Morata Gross Richa for Alli Son Wilson
          So looks Easily worth it for Me

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Hmm I honestly don't think that is worth it long term

        2. Scotty B
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Last call:
          Eriksen or Alli?

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

            chose Eriksen myself but both good picks

          2. That Fantasy Guy
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Eriksen

          3. V-2 Schneiderlin
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            most on here saying Eriksen but looking at recent points for me it's Alli as more explosive/attacking

          4. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Prefer Alli

        3. Champione
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Bench 1:
          A) DCL
          B) Schindler
          C) Christensen (have Alonso as well)

        4. machickenz
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Worth trading Naughton for Masuaku or Ogbonna for a -4 hit?

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

            I would say yes considering it's probably worth keeping West Ham assets for their run of good fixtures after DGW

        5. Cocky Spaniel Alves
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Coutinho to Alli for -4 woth it?

          1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Worth

          2. Chandler Bing
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Probably yes

        6. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          What is this Coutinho & Nike thing?

        7. ooooo
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Alli or Eriksen? Have Son

        8. aminsmd
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          sterling or mahrez?

          for only 1 week

        9. V-2 Schneiderlin
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          If you were taking -12 in hits and would lose 0.5 million on selling Salah would you activate free hit chip?:

          A. Yes
          B. No

          1. Gobigorgohome
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Yes

            1. V-2 Schneiderlin
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Thanks - it's unanimous!

          1. V-2 Schneiderlin
