Weekend Scout Notes
A change in format for the Scout Notes this week. I’ve been looking to streamline these a little and focus on the key points rather than dwell on Derby’s lineup and similar matters that aren’t likely to be of interest, plus take me an inordinate amount of time to put together. Instead, from this week on, I’m going to focus on the teams and players that warrant interest and that are likely to be in your thoughts when it comes to future signings and squad tweaks. Have a gander at this week’s notes then.

Apologies for the lateness of the Scout Picks this week but, better late than never, here they come. Could be a rough ride this one - the threat of rest and rotation looms large with the Champions League in midweek. Lampard, Adebayor, Terry and Ronaldo all look at risk. Lovely.

A funny old weekend then, with few fantasy managers smiling by the end of it. Here’s my thoughts on proceedings.

ContinuedWednesday Night’s Scout Notes
A predictable canter for a Ronaldo-inspired United. An unpredictable festival of goals at White Hart Lane. Here’s the notes from a barmy night in the Premiership.
ContinuedMonday Night Scout Notes
McFadden shines again. Larsson limps off. Newcastle stop the rot with an Owen goal. Here’s my notes on last night’s game.

Ronaldo keeps United on track. Arsenal falter once more. Torres and Gerrard are at it again. Wigan only need 10-men to earn another clean sheet against Bolton. Things are getting squeaky at the top and bottom. Here’s my notes on another weekend’s merriment.
ContinuedThis Week’s Scout Picks
Refresh your screen for this week’s eleven. Not surprisingly it’s dominated by three of the teams with two fixtures - Chelsea, Spurs and United. It that respect the picks are probably one of the easiest and “play safe” lineups I’ve selected in months. If you’re after some long shots though, read on - there’s some decent alternatives about if you’re up for a gamble.
