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.

      No you're not the only one. The only decent fixtures are wks 2-4 (FUL, Sot, WIG) and maybe 8 (STK), rest are pretty pants.

      What with the uncertainty around starting for various players id be getting Valencia if I wasnt worried about him playing RB. In my most recent draft I have no Utd players at all, which is a little unsettling!

      That's a pretty much a coin flip in my book.
      Mata/Graham are less punty - but Torres is a more appealing captaincy option. Tough one.

      I have Mata and Torres at the moment - which is probably overkill

      Thanks for sharing, I'm going to comment anyway 😉 I think if you are going to have Demel and Bennett in your team then you may as well take advantage of the Reading/West Ham/Norwich rotation by swapping Hangeland for Gunter. Fulham are always poo away from home anyway.

        Surely it's reasonable to think Chelsea can score without much from him. I'm really leaning to Mata & Ivan as cover.

        no sorry

        too many boring and generic draft this days

        i am sure you got exacly same draft as everyone else

        so if you get Nasri+Petric your team will dominate 😉

    I am going to use my wildcard after gameweek 2
    Friedel Federici
    Gibbs Williams Zabaleta (Gorkss McCartney)
    Kagawa Hazard Lampard Guthrie (Michu)
    Torres Tevez Podolski
    Do you think Gibbs will play the full 90 minutes? (or should I even risk a cheeky punt on Jenkinson?)
    Should I have Lampard or Cazorla as Cazorla might not play this weekend?
    Guthrie or Michu on the field?

    So, I have played around with my team and this is what I ended up with:

    DDG Federici
    McCartney Cuellar Hangeland A.Cole Lescott
    Bale Noble Lampard Y.Toure Guthrie
    Torres Tevez Graham

    2.0 in the bank for the obvious transfer (Torres to Rooney)

    What do you think? I am unsure about Hangeland, Noble, Lampard and Yaya

    I could downgrade Hangeland to a 4.0 or 4.5 and upgrade Lampard to Mata/Hazard. Also are there better options than Yaya at 8.0 or bellow?

    Cheers
