We’re almost there. After three months, countless RMT’s (That’s Rate-My-Team for our new readers), a whole host of injury scares and the regular gamut of transfer talk, the season is now just hours away.

This means just one thing- it’s time for a host of the Fantasy Football Scout team to start off one last debate by sticking our necks on the line with predictions for the year to come. As evidenced by last year, our choices can range from the sublime to the ridiculous – let’s see how the cards fall for 2011/12…

I, Andy, kick things off by singling out teams and players I am not perhaps known for endorsing. Towing the party line, then, I’ve done everything I can to make my predictions as impartial as possible. Not believe me? Look- no Fernando Torres…

      I would go with Given just because I think he would produce most saves in that game as Fulham would make more chances than Wigan would.

    A Cole, Hughes, Kompany (Orr, Simpson)

    Moses, Taarabt, Nani, Ramsey, N'Zogbia

    RVP, Rooney (Beattie)

    Am I spending too much on those two forwards?

    I think I'm fairly settled with this squad. I have room to switch high end players about which might need to happen with the unpredictability of who will get the big points.

    Given | Ruddy
    Bardsley | Kompany | Hughes | Taylor S | Gabbidon
    Nani | Silva | Sessegnon | Taarabt | Moses
    RVP | Zamora | Carrol

    I can easily get Malouda in for Nani next week by downgrading Carrol to Suarez, I could also switch RVP and Rooney. If I need extra cash, I can downgrade Zamora to Halt or someone else around that price range. I think the defence is pretty solid with one or two players capable of scoring goals and plenty of clean sheets for most of them. Moses and Taarabt are gambles which could pay off but can easily be changed if I need to. This team is made so I hopefully wont need to wild card early this time, I want keep the wild card unused for at least the first 10 weeks and try not to take many hits.

    What do you think?

      I like it. I personally don't see the advantage of Zamora over the 6.0 or 5.5 forwards, so would keep extra cash in the bank for future transfers there, but that's just me.

          I don't know why we're still so reliable on Laser, we seem to be the only country in Europe. Anyway this is your other option unless you know someone with a CC.

          We are also able to accept payments via cheque and postal orders made payable to “Fantasy Football Scout Ltd”. Please be advised that turnaround on members signing up via this method can take at least 5 working days to process.

            Laser was created by the top Irish banks, hence their reluctance to ditch it. I moved to Ulster bank specifically so I could get a VISA debit card.

            That's the problem with Chelsea - nobody knows who is going to start. I think RVP is an absolute must-have whilst fit (I'm an Arsenal fan so perhaps biased). I'd like to save 0.5m somewhere to do Nani -> Malouda in GW2. Perhaps Hughes -> Senderos/Bramble/Brown?

              know what you mean about rvp, esp with him being on pens.
              how about hughes to alcaraz?

                Yeah that could be an option. Not a fan of Wigan defenders as a general rule, but opening fixtures are good and he's cheap.

      The first one because it has 2 penalty takers, plus sometimes Sessgnon takes penalties too.

    Here's an interesting one; would appreciate some views:

    a) Given, A Cole and a 4.5 (Bramble, Brown, whoever) i.e. the conventional wisdom,

    b) or Cech, Warnock, Enrique, i.e. for the same price cover Chelsea, Villa and Liverpool defences.

      I'm fascinated with Cech. Such consistent returns, every year. I think sacrificing a high-priced defender might be worth it to get him in, but is Warnock the one you want? Attacking potential there, but will he play enough?

    Hi guys, I'd very much appreciate some suggestions on my final team:

    Given (Ruddy)
    Cashley, Kompany, Orr (Simpson, Bramble)
    Silva, Downing, Moses, O'Hara (Sessegnon)
    RVP (vc), Rooney (c), Holt

    I'm thinking about Rooney -> Bent and maybe Downing -> Malouda after gw1, but fear that prices will go up. Any thoughts? Cheers!
