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.

      Now only if the Pool-Tottenhem game can go away, I may make the next FPL round. Last year I lost in round 1 when I lost to a guy who never made a move from week one (and very likely was not an active participant). Only because of lost fixtures and pure luck.

    If the commentators mention how brilliant Scott Parker is again, I'm going to lose it!!

    Dire game, Pedersen looks pretty impressive (although my stream is dodgy so may not actually be him the whole time šŸ˜‰ ). His passing is very good, and he's tackling a lot better than I'd expect him too. Salgado looks very susceptible to pace down the left, but other than that B'Burn are looking pretty solid. Things are looking promising for my Samba clean sheet!

      People are making it out as if Tevez has the easiest fixture ever and is guaranteed to score at least twice, or something like that....

      Well, I hate to break it to you, he doesn't. He's playing Everton who are, IMO, one of the best teams in the league, who don't concede too many goals and beat City twice last season.

          Not one of the best teams in the league.. I don't think he's got an easy fixture, hence why I didn't captain him and Everton's record at Eastlands is very good but if the game does go ahead, he isn't a bad captain considering.

      it seems to be more of a concern to the people than anything, most reports state that the pitches are fine!

      i say tell the people the game won't be open to public (for these safety concerns) and get the players to play anyway!

      but i guess in the end the fans do want to go to the games, and the clubs do want the money from tickets, i guess it'd screw season ticket holders too...

      meh, just harden up UK. football is a winter sport,

      not as if Australia cancel cricket because it's too hot and there's worries people travelling to the game will suffer from sunstroke...

        yeah they should just play with no fans and in dire conditions just so we can get FPL points right.

    Time to clarify how FPL Captaincy rules work.

    I have Nasri (C). he doesn't play.
    My reserve captain is selected on form, probably Nani.
    If the reserve captain doesn't play, does the captains armband go to another points-scorer in the team.
    Or have I been shafted by the weather?

    Albion v Wolves postponed
    Posted on: Sat 18 Dec 2010

    ALBION have been forced to postpone tomorrow's Black Country derby with Wolves due to the adverse weather conditions.

    The club have done everything in their power to get the game on but have had to admit defeat on safety grounds.

    More than 20cm of snow fell between the early hours of this morning and this afternoon, with no apparent let up, and temperatures are predicted to drop as low as minus 10 during the night.

    All tickets purchased for this match will be valid for the re-arranged fixture.

        Indeed. I need the City game to be on! Welbeck is looking good, not much chance of Utd selling him. We've just bought the Japenese "C.Ronaldo - Henry" 😐

      It's really beginning to irritate me. He just lost the ball with a hopeless touch, and the best they can say is 'another driving run from Scott Parker'.

    Hey chaps, hows the old emergency captian work?

    Got Nasri (c) and emergency method is by value. Does that mean that Torres, as he aint playing, wont get the band and Tevez (if he is playing) will? Also if Tevez does not play will it go to Bent?

    Cheers

      If it's form it wil keep going until it's on the highest form player remaining, same goes for value.
