    Filed under: Scout Picks - Posted by: Sir Paulos

    As we shiver in our winter thermals, the fixture schedule heats up, with the second gameweek in the space of four days just around the corner. We’re backing City, Arsenal and Newcastle heavily this weekend, with strong home fixtures for all three affording seven of their players a place in the Scout Picks:

    Scout Picks – Gameweek Twenty-Three

    Filed under: Scout Picks - Posted by: Sir Paulos

    It’s deadline day. Not just in a frothing-at-the-mouth Sky Sports kind of way, either. We’ve Fantasy business to consider, with last weekend’s FA Cup fixtures affording us two Gameweeks in rapid succession. We line up a 3-5-2 this time round, with many of the players almost picking themselves…

    Scout Picks – Gameweek Twenty-Two

    Filed under: Scout Picks - Posted by: Sir Paulos

    There’s no denying this week’s a tricky one. A glance at the Captain Poll on the front page sums up just how undecided most of us are. Nevertheless, the Scout Selection Committee have knocked our heads together and, after much deliberation, roll out our XI for the weekend ahead:

    Filed under: Scout Picks - Posted by: Sir Paulos

    We’re back in the seat again after a weekend of FA Cup action last time round.

Perhaps surprisingly, there are no Man City in this week’s picks, as we heavily back the [...]

    Filed under: Scout Picks - Posted by: Sir Paulos

    There’s no real surprise that the Scout Picks are dominated by Tottenham and Everton this week, with the enticing double gameweek just around the corner. Rest and rotation still plays a significant part in our thinking, though, with the weekend’s events serving a reminder of unexpected omissions…

    Filed under: Scout Picks - Posted by: Sir Paulos

    Rest and rotation are biting hard right now and picking an XI is always going to be filled with uncertainty at this time of year. After much behind the scenes deliberation, the Scout Picks Selection Committee has weighed up the options and brings you our choices for the gameweek ahead…

    Scout Picks- Gameweek Eighteen

    Filed under: Scout Picks - Posted by: Sir Paulos

    We’re spoiled for choice this time round with some strong fixtures on the horizon for all the top six. Looking at the gameweek schedule, the potential for big scores is huge. With Christmas just around the corner, the Picks arrive a little earlier than normal, then; let’s hope we don’t serve up any turkeys…

“Alex Chamberlain played three games for the first time in his career. He had a stiff neck at half-time, so I did not want to take a gamble with him. Then we had a problem with Koscielny, and I wanted to give some playing time to Benayoun.”

Arsene Wenger explains why Van Persie wasn't substituted in the 7-1 win over Blackburn following pre-game talk of the Dutch hitman needing rest
