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.

    Guys anyone in manchester out there? Is the everton-mancity still on? Is it snowing? I have baines, Cahill and Tevez (emergency captain) to go.

    Can someone give me the good news?

      They desperately need to get out there and sort the area around the ground out, because it's an ice rink... -10 overnight.

    Hey guys, so another bloody snow question. Will my 3rd sub come in, because I had under 11 fielded players? And will my captain be my highest value player, out of the measly 3 players I fielded.luckily he is Ryan nelson today. Cheers

    My only hope of points yesterday was dropped, came on for 10 mins, got injured and now misses the rest of the season. He'll probably end up captain too.

        I'm out in Barcelona at the moment so only managed to get a quick look at highlights on Spanish TV rather than what was (I imagine) very extended highlights on match of the day (incidentally how the hell did they fill the time, Shearer and Hansen in some Xmas karaoke?)

        However, from what I saw of the West Ham goal, Parker completely made it with a run into the box before the ball found it's way to Stanislas to crack home, yet somehow there's no assist fo Parker or ANY west ham player according to FPL - any insight into this?

            If you look at the context of Moyes' comments he is saying that when they pick up the loan players they will be looking to give Coleman a rest. They dont have the options I believe to give him a rest now, I reckon he will start.

            I think he has a good chance. One goal from Tevez will cover the 8pt defecit, then his four will surely outscore the opponents two?

              Thanks rover , that's encourging.
              My fate in the cup is tied to Tevez shoes.
              But you are in the same boat also.
              Cheers,

                Tevez brace and 3bp = 26pts. See you in the next round! (maybe)

          depends on who you have so far in your team and how much budget you have to play with. but some common names are: Rafeel, Kolarov, Nelsen/Samba, Kyriagos/Konchesky, Onuuha, Enrique, Simpson, Dawson, ...

          I hope this helps.

          been looking myself..either stick with Blackburn and go Nelsen, or assume that they will be weaker now and go with City/Sund/Liv defender...Kolarov/Onuoha/Skrtel/Konch??

            Nelson got me the only 9 points I have this week, pending City players. But you have a fair point, I'm considering shipping him out myself.

        The way I see the game tomorrow......Apparently if City play and win, it will be the first time they have been top at christmas for 80 ish years, si I can imagine they desperately want it on...Why not play it behind closed doors if the surrounding areas are dangerous, they can certainly afford the loss!
        Also if i went to the game and fell over on some ice, it wouldnt be their fault, it would be mine, i just dont get it all this worry. The shops are open, so if I decide to go out, its my choice to go to them!

        rant over!!

          I agree about fans choice to go or not to, but suggesting playing behind closed doors is ridiculous! Try telling that to the fans.

            True, but if its a case of no game, or being top of the league im sure the fans would prefer the latter??
