Season Predictions 2012/13 – View From The Scouts

Over the last week or so the Fantasy Football Scout fold have been sharing our innermost thoughts with regards to some of the most “Burning Questions” ahead of the new campaign. To accompany our views there, here’s our annual quick-fire round of predictions, where we let you know the players each of us are tipping to shine in a new season…

As our entry from last year will show you we’re prone to making the odd mistake (or seven). Steve Kean, eh? Who would have thought he would still be in a job. Even after he got Blackburn relegated, as half of us rightly predicted.

Here follows our thoughts on the year ahead. Soak it in and then join the discussion and offer your thoughts and counter-comments down below.

Andy, that’s my good self, kicks things off for 2012/13 with what is no doubt a bit of a fancy for one player in particular. And it’s not even Gylfi Sigurdsson. This is almost partisan from our resident all-rounder.

The Premier League

Top Five (1-5): Man City, Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham
Bottom Four (17-20): Norwich, QPR, Wigan, Reading
This year’s Overachievers: Aston Villa
This Year’s Underachievers: Fulham
Top Goalscorer: Sergio Aguero
Most Assists: Seb Larsson
Team with Most Clean Sheets: Man United
Most Yellow Cards: Samba Diakite
First Boss to Bite the Bullet: Mark Hughes
Worst Signing: Marcus Rosenburg

Top Scoring Budget Goalkeeper (5.0 and under): Mark Schwarzer
Top Scoring Budget Defender (5.0 and under): Ryan Shawcross
Top Scoring Budget Midfielder (6.5 and under): Seb Larsson
Top Scoring Budget Forward (6.5 and under): Danny Graham

Second out of the traps is Big Dunc. One of two Everton fans on the Scout payroll our resident toffee can’t help but get a little bit excited at the prospects of his club. Is he mad? We’ll find out by May.

Top Scoring Budget Forward (6.5 and under): Danny Graham

Having signed mid-way through last Stilicho gets his first Scout attempt to show everyone just how prophetic he is. His opinions on Norwich pretty much separate this gent from everyone else involved so he’s either a mad heretic or the one we should all be looking to in the future.

Granville gets a weekly platform on the Scoutcast to discuss and debate with Mark on all things Fantasy Football related. In this post he has, perhaps unsurprisingly, decided to pick some answers from the red side of Manchester. What’s more surprising is that we can see some light blue too.

Also having his first dabble at infamy is Jonty. With no Premier League allegiances for this Brighton fan, his picks can come untainted by any frivolous behaviour. He wisely agreed with me about a certain West Brom player.

The Premier League

Top Five (1-5): Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool

Anorak may be our resident specialist when it comes to the men in black but he also likes to think he can be a dab hand at Fantasy football too. As far as top goalscorer predictions, he marks himself out as the black sheep of the Scout fraternity by being the only one not to tow the party line.

Having churned out more top quality articles than Anchor have butter, Paul is well versed on all things Premier League and as such we expect him to score 100% when we mark his results in May. Even if one of his answers is Emmerson Boyce, who are we to second guess?

Mark The guv’nor brings up the rear and clearly has a problem with Swansea’s prospects, whilst talking up that Southampton mob. Mark backed Grant Holt last season and, similarly, he’s going with Rickie Lambert to turn up with a similar goal spree. Oh, and he still fancies Leighton Baines. Must be the haircut or the record collection.

    Is Rafael, though? Jones and Smalling are out for a while I think, and I can't really see SAF letting Valencia play over and over on RB. If he _is_ a risk after all, Its pointless obviously.
    
    Lamps? Dunno. Will Mata? Thing is both Aguero + Ramires and Tevez + Mata make me have to go Bale -> VDV

    yeah, Zab is somewhat attacking himself, and should be much more nailed on. Torres to Bent is interesting, but there are so many strikers I want, I can't really see myself doing it. Therefore I did the easy Nzog.

  GW3: bench Taarabt
  GW4: bench ... well, this is already late, but Taarabt unless he went crazy GW1-2

      To be honest, not really. If any of them were Chelsea defenders they'd at least have the DGW. Maybe just keep one or two, say Verm and Verts?

  I've gone Mata because he's more advanced (you know what I mean), has had less game time recently and is more of a goal threat than FF. He's younger too 😉

  Mata for being further up on the pitch. Playing in the hole, and take fk and corners. Will be much more involved in Chelsea's attack. Could be rested, or subbed off due to wc and the olympics.
  
  Lampard for being a guaranteed starter and on pens. Will always get a few runs in the box.
  Getting old, and is playing deep on the pitch.
  
  Tough call... I'm currently on Mata.

  Lampard for me because I needed that extra 0.5. But still think he will do well and play just as much as Mata if not more.
