Merry Christmas from Fantasy Football Scout

1,196 Comments
Share

Christmas is all about family. About sharing. About goodwill to all men.

I do a bit of that, though my day also involves points hits, rotation concerns and whether Harry is going to blank at Wembley.

I don’t wish this on you but, deep down, I know it’s too late. You’re just as lost in this as I am.

So that only leaves me to thank you for reading this and, of course, on this special day, for all your support for what we do here at Fantasy Football Scout.

Having this link to thousands of like-minded folk, similarly happy to burn hours contemplating budget strikers, is a comfort and a massive gift in itself. So thank you.

While I urge you to rejoin your friends and family, or at least find a channel showing Die Hard or Escape to Victory, I should also remind you that our Scout Picks and Captain Sensible articles will be with you later today.

Eat well, drink relatively sensibly and enjoy the day.

Merry Christmas and thanks again.

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

      Looks good but am a bit worried about Salah (vc) - would Morata not be more secure?

            I would've thought KDB would be more likely to play having come off early. Sterling is dangerous from the bench regardless.

            Hmm interesting - betting odds put them at about 3 to 1 to keep a clean sheet. I think that is marginally better than RLC's odds of an assist but it's close. Cheers for your input.

    Pogba captain as differential ?
    Definitely united will bounce back after two late goals which changed the result of the match

    Just seen the news about Moussa Dembele from Celtic could be moving to Brighton for £18m. Would definetly become a good FPL asset

    I've decided what I will do with my FT

    Elliot, DDG
    Kenny, Otamendi, Duffy, Mee, Fernandez
    Coutinho, Hazard, Richarlison, Salah, Sterling
    Kane, Austin, DCL

    Going to safe this week and then next week :

    GW 20: safe ( play DCL and bench Austin )
    GW 21: Austin and Hazard out -> Morata or Kun and Lingard in
    GW 22: Richarlison out -> Arnau in

    Sounds good? All depends on how well Chelsea will play on boxingday

    Really apt message Mark. Happy festivities to one an all.

    We don't really do Christmas apart from family get together but everyone is married off or travelling.

    At least I have a big distraction today with my daughter's 5th Birthday.

    Who do I lose for ogbonna?

    A..daniels...injured but we don't know how long for. Losing him makes it simple to do richarlison to Arnie for the dgw.

    B..wimmer..dreadful asset...playing at moment. 5th defender

    Thanks
