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.

                near the crown. although moving to broadwindsor today. Well that was the plan. the truth is i drove 150 miles en route to the midlands to pick up my mrs and go to storage unit. but the snow made me turn back at worcester. nigthmare. then a pheasant decided to fly into my windscreen on the motorway7 and smash it to pieces.

                  That sounds like a nightmare, though an amusing one reading the story.

                  Yeah, grandparents used to live off St Swithens Avenue and my uncle leaves up by Colfox. My dad was born there - spent plenty a happy hour in my childhood in Bridport.

                  Was there in August last, ate in the Bull like all tw*tty out-of-towners. Great fish in there.

      3 points actually. I'm your opponent. šŸ˜‰

      I knew I'd seen the 'name' associated with the team on here before but couldn't think who.

      Wosrt case scenario:

      Man City win 1-0 on a freezing night in Manchester and Tevez does nowt. Hart as your emergency captain scores 14 and Kolarov and Tevez manager 10 between them.

      You manage to field one player against my three. Not an outfield player but a f*cking goalie! And you still win. šŸ˜†

          I know, but should it constitute a gameweek when only 3 ties are played. Surely at least half the games need to be on to make it work properly, so there could be scope to abandon gameweeks like this one. Anyway it's a decent discussion worth having.

          On that point, most of the games were cancelled after the 11.30 deadline. Since the earliest game is 12.45, they should consider a 12.30 deadline. I think a couple of the games were cancelled within this window.

            Arsenal and Birmingham's matches definitely were after 11.30 out of the Saturday games.

            Obviously they can't legislate for Sunday games going, but the fact that Saturday's 3pm kick off were called off after the dealine was an absolute nightmare.

            Just cos Barca are uber impressive doesnt mean its a poor league overall. Even the small teams have excellent quality.

                  Well Real have played everyone so far bar Getafe, Villareal and Almeria, and Barcalona have only avoided playing Levante, Deportivo and Malaga - with both having a fair spread of home and away.

          You can't really compare them directly because the style of football is completely different.

          I think it's fair to say that if you took a mid table team from either league and put them in the other, then that team would be likely to go down purely because of the cultural differences in the way football is played.

            Good enough point.

            I reacted to the phrase shockingly poor though - and this is not the first time I've seen it on here - because I think that it's fairly similar to the Premiership in quality.

            Premier League edges it for me because of how good the teams just outside the real title candidates are, but these are the two best leagues by far and nobody should believe for a second that almost every Premier League team would be absolutely battered by Barcelona as well.

      He's not as sh*t as everyone on here makes out - but a midfielder who hardly ever ventures forward is never a good fantasy prospect.

          Defenders are probably the best option unless you want to gamble and spend big on Torres or Gerrard.

          I think Konchesky offers value at 5mil. Worth a gamble, because if Liverpool pick up you'll be laughing - and if not, you've not ventured too much.
