Just before you all go open those socks and slippers under the tree, we’d like to wish you – our visitors – a very happy Christmas from all at Fantasy Football Scout.

I’ll save the eulogising for our New Year Message, for now I’ll just offer out a big thank-you for your huge contribution in making this another big year for us.

Have a great day and pop back throughout for today’s articles, including Big Dunc’s Christmas Differentials.

Here’s hoping for some extra presents on Boxing Day!

    Stil want more opinions from old post.

    I have nani, bale, vdv, gomez, whelan
    Yak, ade, rvp

    Who should I replace vdv with?? Silva or Mata? Bearing in mind two ppl in mini league I’m chasing both have silva would Mata make a good differential? Or should I have silva to avoid losing more ground?

    Ps merry christmas to all! Can’t believe I’m posting today so please reply so i can justify coming on here! Lol!

      I've benched Richards as I think WBA will score. Full strength in attack with good options. I'd play Brunt and save it, possibly look to use 2 next week and go above 6.7? Valencia's the one I want...

          Fulham will shut up shop, leaving less space for Sturridge to get in behind. I have Sturridge, but if I had Ba I'd wait a week. Bolton will push on at home, leaving space in behind for Ba.

          If i had Ba i would keep him for this week then ship next. Ba more explosive than Studge so more likely to get a big (mid double digits) score imo.

        Merry Xmas Breadbin, I would be nervous on benching Richards, he could get an assist , goal or even a clean sheet against mediocre opposition. He has been excellent going forward in gemes.

          Take a look at my link, I can't think who else to bench. Playing a back 4 I think all have better chance of points than Richards.

    Vorm (Krul)
    Simpson, Jones, Enrique (Rangel, Ward)
    Silva, Nani, Valencia, Walters (Sinclair)

    I am thinking that I should double up on the Swansea defence this week and get Rangel in. Would you do this, or hedge your bets with Newcastle in Simpson? Any other suggestions?
    I would love to field 14 out of my 15 players this week….
