Mark

After the frenzy of last week, I’d like to take the opportunity on this relatively sleepy Monday night, to announce and introduce you to a couple of new Fantasy Football Scout team members.

Firstly, the keen eyed amongst you will have noticed a certain Elfozzie making the odd comment post over the past few months. This shady character has been in the background after coming on board in the Summer, during which time he helped me out with some of his hard-earned, and basically supported me to create and launch the Members area. Elfozzie is the Scout’s Business guy – responsible for helping me to turn this site into something other than a pleasurable time sink that gets me into trouble with my girlfriend and destroys my social life. Elfozzie will be to blame if I’m still here doing this in a couple of years.

Johnfinlay meanwhile, has joined the team as our day-to-day news reporter and all-round editorial machine to provide coverage during the daylight hours, when the rest of us should be doing our 9 to 5 jobs. John will be chipping in with tweets, articles, team news, helping out with moderation on the comments and generally pushing the site on to be more prolific than ever. Almost half my age and full of these things I can vaguely remember called “energy and enthusiasm”, John is the Jack Wilshere to my Liam Brady. Liam Brady’s not dead yet is he?

You read more on both these characters in the freshly updated Meet The Team page right here.

Welcome aboard Elfozzie and Johnfinlay!

      Still in test. More work happening this week.
      
      Right now in test we have the ability to view stats by last gameweek, last 2 gamweeks, last 4 gameweeks and last 6.
      
      There's also an advanced filter so you can view between a gameweek range that you can set.
      
      You can also choose to view stats by absolute values (what you have now) and averages per appearance. The latter will level the playing field when players play more than one match in gameweek but it's also very useful to view averages over the season or a range of gameweeks.
      
      Hopefully more news on this by the weekend.

  elmander seems in form but davies seems to be playing well just not scoring as much,davies is also on pens and the only way elmander gets bonus is if he scores while davies can do nothing and 3bps,davies will start finding the net soon and....the more i think about it davies seems the better pick

        Good spot there, he is on 4 yellows I see. But I am not sure if he has picked any in the cup competitions or not and has already served it if that's the case? Anybody can clear this out.

Who do we prefer Steinsson or Bardsley? I know it's not the most glamourous of choices but these two fit my budget and squad best. I already have Jussi in goal so do you think i should risk doubling up with a BOL defender of just go for Bardsley? Cheers boys

  I wouldn't double up on Bolton defence - Go for the Sunderland player. Sunderland have good fixtures coming up (so do Bolton), but best not to put all your eggs in one basket.
  
  My only small query about Bardsley: is he now nailed to the starting lineup at Sunderland? He missed the first few games - though I'n not sure if that was down to injury?...

    Yeah i was wondering the same thing about Bardsley. In the short term i don't think it will be a problem as Bruce surely won't change a thing after the stunning performance yesterday. And even before that he played quite a few games on the spin i think.
    
    Anyone know who Bardsley's competition is for the LB spot at Sunderland? Is it Richardson? I know Bruce did play him as full back a few times

Does anyone think that Berbatov will start scoring again now that Rooney is back?
His goals stopped when Rooney got injured...

        My two favourite scenes, if you remember them, are both in season 5...
        
        A) When the Bunk calls Lester into the interrogation room to dissuade McNulty to continue with his 'serial killer' plan... And Lester starts giving McNulty advice on how to do it, rather than having a go at him. The expressions from McNulty (sheer delight) and Bunk (horror) are absolutely brilliant.
        
        B) When McNulty and Greggs are meeting with the behaviour analysts to hear their thoughts on the 'serial killer', and the BAU guys give a description that basically describes McNulty.

    You think? I suppose it is a good team but i just reckon it's a bad time to be wildcarding. Don't we all get one in a month and a bit anyway?

      Yeah true...we've just passed 1/3 away through the season though and I seem to slowly slowly be falling through the rankings. My thought is to try and pick it up now and keep the momentum through january whe we get the next w.c.

        I don't think it is worth it. You'll have the entire period of February - May to gain a big advantage (think double GWs and nice fixtures, certainly nicer than this week) over everyone else who has used their WC already, like me 🙁

  Rich team. May steal this one - need a team that can look after itself for a few weeks at a time

  2 budget midfielders doesn't give you much scope to maneuver CS. I'd downgrade Ferdinand to G.Cahill maybe and keep the cash in reserve to fund future trends/transfers.

  Looks wonderful now, but I think you'd be better off not wildcarding. Your current team doesn't really need massive restructuring.
