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.

    What do people think of getting Gerrard in for Silva or Nani?

      playing around with that idea in my post gw 20 wildcard, could be a great differential especially if he is given freedom to bomb forward and also assist carroll with some goals

      sure looked promising yesterday, but he needs to play every game at that price to begin with

    Will Donovan definitely play in the DGW, and if so will he be playing up front?

        Ineligible today.

        Just checked - in Jan 2010 he started his first game (5th Jan) but he came off after 69 minutes. Did get a goal and an assist vs Arsenal.

    Nani was way too casual last night. He has that habit of being arrogant and complacent sometimes when United are on a good winning spree. There was just no determination and commitment.

    Yeah, I captained him.

      he really is frustrating sometimes, cant rely on him for captaincy and i damn myself for doing it for the first time ever

      it is different with silva when he returns a blank, cos you still can say he had a great game

    How're this lot looking for tomorrow's games? 1 freebie and 1.1m in the bank - thinking about just Vermaelen -> BAE to get this lot. Sufficient DGW coverage or should I take some hits? After Verm -> BAE I will have 2.6m in the bank....Cheers

      looks pretty good but obviously might be some concern over your united players. maybe take a hit to get ramsey out and bring in one of drenthe, osman or donovan

    Thinking of these transfers:

    Jones (OUT) - Baines (IN)
    J Evans (OUT) - BAE (IN)
    Mata (OUT) - Donovan or Osman (IN)
    (4 point hit)

    That will give me 5 DGW players, thoughts please?

      What price did you get P Jones for? I'm not sure Everton will score that well in the DGW, so I wouldn't be taking any hits this week to get more in if I were you. What's the rest of your team?

        Got Jones for 6.3

        Current team:

        Ruddy / Vorm
        Jones / N Taylor / Evans J / Simpson / Jose Enrique
        Mata / Bale / Nani / Allen / Walters
        Adebayor / Van Persie / Sturridge

          Tricky, you've a good team so it's difficult to see how to bring in DGWers without losing players you wanna keep.

          I'd be more inclined to go for BAE than Baines (better fixtures, better team, much better value), so if you can afford to just do JEvans (He's injured and you have better MUN defensive coverage in P Jones) -> BAE then I'd do that. If not, perhaps JEvans & Walters -> BAE & Drenthe?

    baps prediction for rvp...he had many shots off target but he still scored the winning goal and had many successful dribbles...this should weigh more IMO. what do u guys think?

      I'd say he's good for at least 2, probably 3. Koscielny was decent, as was Ramsey and Arteta. My guess is: RVP3, Koscielny 2, Arteta 1 (Ramsey close)....

    Hi guys, got 0 in the bank and no ft - is it worth transferring out vermaelen? Bit worried with my defence, and he doesn't seem very good value anyway:

    Vorm (krul)
    Vermaelen, Evans, BAE (Enrique, RTaylor)
    Valencia, nani, bale(c), silva (surman)
    Rvp, adebayor(vc), sturridge
