Happy New Year From The Scout!

As the made-up words of Auld Lang Syne drift off into the night, here at the Scout, we’d like to wish all our visitors a happy New Year!

Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to enjoy another superb twelve months. The new server setup that keeps us running on deadline day, the redesign, the Premier League columns – it’s been a fantastic year of progress once again.

We’re not quite sure what 2012 will have in store – although I am sure that we’re going to go on delivering the best Fantasy Football resource we can.

Plans are being hatched, progress already made behind the scenes. Ed our genius technical director is already playing with new toys. Pure Olivia is also working on new stuff and Sir Paulos is, as we speak, learning some new words. Commercial man Chris meanwhile, is finding some new pop-up adverts to annoy you all. It’s going to a big 2012!

A massive thanks goes to those guys and all the Scout contributors past and present – Granville, Andy, Akers, Greek Fan, Big Dunc, John, Money Mike, Anorak, Ryan Da Beeeez, Karl and Greg.

And, one again – thanks and Happy New Year to you – our visitors.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

                I would go with adebayor, bae and bale. Both should work out well but that way it doesnt cost as much and may cost u less transfers.

                i would be taking a 4point hit for the 3 xfers...but with 2 games i think this GW is one of the few where it can be overlooked.

    as a replacement for ba, what do you guys think of odemwingie??

    last year he was a steal with value less than 6. scored 15 assisted 9 and 28 bonus points. he ended on a total of 171 points and 5.8 value.

    so far this season since coming back from injury he has 2 goals and 3 assists in 5 games.

    surely he's worth a punt with ba going off and the WC right around the corner. if he so much as gets a couple of shots on target tomorrow i'm pouncing on him 😀

        4 pts minimum given that he's unlikely to be rotated. And very decent chance of clean sheets given the level of opposition. And potential for assists, as demonstrated earlier today.
