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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

              Oh Jack, the road you are going down only promises more transfer hits throughout the year. There is no way it's gonna stop with this.

              Rooney and RVP are guaranteed starters against Fulham. There is an equal possibility that it might be RVP walking away with the points. I'm sure you are aware of the maths, but your 4 pt would be rendered useless, if Rooney doesn't get 6 (12 for captain) pts. Plus if you wait another week, the RVP vs Rooney dilemma would be so much clearer.

                I don't see how it promises more hits later on though, but fair points.
                There is also GW3 though, where Rooney has Southampton and Torres doesn't play. I'd also have Mata, so it would either mean keeping one of them and benching a 9.5-10M player, or spending points in GW3 anyway.

      Same here. I'm thinking about giving the armband to Aguero, but the amount of people putting it on Torres makes it feel like the safer option just in case he does score big.

    Good morning guys! Thank you for all your comments yesterday. I've decided not to save any cash and upgraded team in places.

    DDG / Fed
    Zab / A Cole / Coloccini / Bennett / Gorkss (Newcastle/Norwich/Reading rotate quite nicely)
    Bale / Nasri / Mata / Noble / N'Zogbia
    Tevez / Graham / Torres

    If need be, I'll take the hit and downgrade Mata to Pienaar for a Torres-RVP switch.

    Any final thoughts? Good luck everyone!

    P.S. Thanks Brian for the ghost kit

    Last questions for me are:

    Mata or Lampard? (Currently on Lampard)
    Cazorla, Nasri or Valencia? (Currently on Santi but 2 good fixtures in 6 doesn't fill me with confidence)
    VDV or Bale (Currently on VDV)
