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.

    Man I am so jammy. After emergency captain and subs I'm on 21 with three to play. Jammy!

      Maybe jammy but not great at counting. It's either 18 with Cahill (3) plus two or 21 with two to play.

        Well done on failing at life. 13 + Gary Cahill's 3 = 16. Capt going on MGP, so + 5 = 21. Coleman, Tim Cahill and Kolarov left to play, which is 3 left to play.

        Dumbass.

      CTC has him down for 5 days left on protection. He probably only has 2 or 3 days though so price rise is unlikely having a quick look.

    Reading back I can't beleive someone hasn't seen "Goodfellas".

    Top film with De Nero and Pesci (Oscar for Best supporting actor) doing their stuff with Scorsese as normal but a stunning performance from Ray Liotta as the lead character.

    Here's the "funny guy" scene from Tommy (Pesci) and Henry (Liotta) to give you a taste. Most of this scene ad-libed by Pesci & Liotta to make it 'real'. Top stuff.

    My Cup rival has 8 points from Elmo and Elmander. I have 7 points from Bardsley and Givet. But I will win this right because my captain is Bardsley on value/form and his captain is Elmander on value/form.
    Making it a total of 13 for me and 10 for him. We both have different captains initially of course.

      Combination of having played a lot of games for club and country, and having to compete with four other in-form midfielders, in Muamba, Taylor, Petrov and Holden. Have a look on the team news on this site towards the end of the week to see if they think its likely to happen again - it normally gives you a good idea of the kind of risk that you are taking.

      IMO, He wasn't on good form last few games and Bolton needed better strike option to score so Klasnic on and Elmander moved to right later stage of game. Although Klasnic wasted golden chances.

    just rested I presume. He brought on klasnic for petrov and if they had equalised he would have then subbed Elmander for Lee..he'll start next week don't worry

    I sold Torres for Gyan today, and I can't help but admit that I really am licking my lips at the prospect of using the money to invest in Super Frank Lampard. Just the kind of differential that I need.

            thanks for the advice RBJ. This is one of those moments where you know that the advice being offerred to you is good, but you suspect that you may end up abjectly failing to follow it.

      No chance. The Cup finishes in GW38 so half the players have to get knocked out this round.

    7 days until the cricket starts again. Hopefully rain isn't an issue for the next 2 Tests.
