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.

    what 2 players (other than Salah) would you bench from this team, at the moment I'm thinking of playing 532 but I hate the way it looks

    Jones Christensen Ogbonna Robertson Kenny
    Sterling Alli Arnautovic Richarlison Salah*
    Kane DCL Firmino

    1. MTPockets
        6 years, 4 months ago

        christensen, DCL

    2. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Bench in right order? G2G. 0.3 ITB and 0 FT.

      DDG
      Alonso, Mustafi, Zanka, Ogbonna
      Salah, Sterling, Son, RLC
      Kane, Morata

      Elliot, Depoitre, Richarlison, Mee

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

      When buying a player answer one question:

      Will you want him even if he blank that game.
      If the answer is yes - do it.

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

        This is smart.

    4. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Start Francis (bha) or RLC (sou)?

    5. b91jh
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Start one

      A) tarkowski vs liv
      B) quaner vs lei
      C) dcl vs mun

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • 9 Years

        A

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

      Is Salah -> Sterling (-4) worth it if I can get Salah in later again?

      If not - I'll have to play DCL against MANU. Don't have a City player either.

    7. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Anything worth a -12 or good to go?

      Help me decide on a captain choice lads:

      A. Kane

        1. We ain't got no histor…
          • 7 Years

          Is he nailed to start the first match?

      2. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        a because everyone will

    13. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Mahrez or Vardy?

      1. We ain't got no histor…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Jamie

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Is both too much?

          1. Lord Flashheart
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            on a free hit no, otherwise yes

    14. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A play pickford (MUN)
      B fabianski to Lloris for -4 and play lloris

      1. We ain't got no histor…
        • 7 Years

        A

    15. dhamphiir
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      DDG
      Otamendi, Christensen, Duffy, Ogbonna
      Salah*, Sterling, Arnautovic
      Kane*, Aguero, DCL
      Sub: Elliot, Richarlison, Surman*, Mee

      Worth taking -8 hit for these move? If starting player doesn’t play or get rest or rotated then I don’t have enough player to field it

      Salah + Richarlison —> Mahrez + Alli
      A. Yaay
      B. Naah

    16. GOONER
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      DGW defender for 5.8m?

      Davies or Ogbonna?

      Is Davies nailed on for both matches?

      1. Andy1
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Probably not

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

      Kane TC alone may get 102 points... hatrick for both matches that is

      1. ameenkw
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Possible but highly unlikely

    18. ameenkw
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Play:
      E)lliot (stk)
      P)ope (LIV)

      Bench order:
      Duffy (BOU)
      Kenny (MUT)
      Ayew (TOT)

    19. Plagued by indecision
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Is this worth -8?

      Gomez > Vertonghen
      Sane > Son
      Delpoitre > Quaner

      Leaves me with:

      Adrian
      Vertonghen / Alonso / Otamendi
      Salah* / Sterling / Son / Zaha
      Kane / Firmino / Quaner

      Subs: Fabianski / Carroll / Mee / Mariappa

    20. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years

      Is Dunk likely to play?
