In case you missed it last week, I’m delighted to say that Fantasy Football Scout was nominated for the ā€œBest Niche Websiteā€ award over at Soccerlens. A nice little pre-Christmas present.

I’ve recently completed an interview in response to the nomination which you can soak up via this link.

If you not interested in my rambles – I wouldn’t blame you – but then it would still be rather nice if you could see your way clear to clicking here and casting your vote for the site. Voting closes on Sunday apparenlty – thanks in advance for your support.

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

          And when they do I can just put out the Wildcard to get them back in sometime in January.

            Yeah their form is a worry but fixtures have been fairly tough coupled with afew key absentees..Their fixtures are too good to ignore after next week imo. Lampard could be a sweet little differential too. I've lost patience with Drogba though and will be downgrading him to fund Fat Frank's arrival.Rooney(c) is tempting for Sunderland though!

    My chosen captain didn't play, my form captain emergency didn't play, my value emergency captain didn't play. I go alphabetic. Is the alpha applied to those who actually played? In other words, the lowest alphabetic order of the last name of the players who took part in a match. (i.e., someone will be a captain) Not clear from the rules and I never had this problem.

      Bedok, from how I read it, if your captain didnt play and you chose Form, it is the highest form player in your team that played. If this results in a tie, then it is chosed on value, and if still a tie, on alphabetical order.

        Ok sorry, I was thinking if there was a tie in you emergency where neither played, it would default to the next option.

          So if you have one guy that plays, he is the Captain. If you have only two, and you chose form the highest form is C.

    I know its too early to say, but it looks like phil jones is out for a while, anyone have him and thinking about potential replacements? I'm thinking about sunderland's defence...despite having united away next week they seem to ease up in the fixtures coming up!

    any thoughts?

    My defence is: Kolorov Vidic Jones Simpson Dann

    I wanted to shift out Dann as i already have Foster but this seems more urgent now!

      u have basically the same defence as me

      i dont think its that urgent really....you have 4 other perfectly good defenders and in terms of points defenders arent ur best source of points

      i was thinking either onouha/konchesky

      or maybe a chelsea defender soon

        yeah, i meant that in the next defensive change i make it will probably to take out jones!

        yeah i was actually thinking to bring in konchesky, thankfully i held off this week, so like you was thinking some sunderland/chelsea/liverpool coverage is best?

        think i will wait at least till gameweek 20 to decide! btw would u say bardsley is a nailed on starter atm?
