Merry Christmas From Fantasy Football Scout!

On this crispy Tuesday morning, I’d like to extend a very Merry Christmas from myself and all of those involved in Fantasy Football Scout! Yes it even calls for the use of a cheesy exclamation mark (shudder). Seriously though, best wishes to you all and your families.

Of course, I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank-you for your superb support over the past year, although I’ll save the sentimental stuff and yearly round-up for the New Year message.

For now, I’ll leave you with some exciting news – as we prepare two new key features to be rolled out in just over a week, in preparation for the January Wildcards. Later today we’ll be previewing one of those features, a Fantasy Football Scout community ranking table that will have a version available for members and non-members alike. Come back to us once the Queen has done with her message later today. Merry Christmas!

Got Aguero while using the WC last week, keep him until the next WC yeah? He's got favorable fixtures, but then, City have always let us down.

Happy Christmas lads 😀

On another note, may as well just keep Rafa 1 more week now, I've endured his price drop already so...

Give myself tomorrow to asses the options but am looking at Baines and Rafa to Sagna and Clark for free.

What do we think?

  Baines and Rafa to GJ and Nasty I think. But I assume you need cash for other transfers?

    I thought about Nasty or Zab last night, but I'm not sure that either will start all of the next 3, Mancini will rotate over Christmas, so it seemed like a waste of a FT. GJ is an intseresting one, but yeah, I need to free up the cash to allow me to do Ramirez to Fellaini. tbh I only want 1 big hitter in defence, clean sheets and attacking points are so unpredictable that you may as well just go uber cheap

      Sagna's not a big-hitter imo. Liverpool coverage is the answer I think, they're getting those cleanies, and GJ and Enrique can get you attacking returns too.

        that's true, but with those 2 and Fellaini I'll only have 1 million left to sell Benteke, mind you come wc when I look to sell I'll probably lose Sterling.

  Also wanted to add that i dont agree with any of the comments above. Sagna is way better than jenks and desenr need rest, that villa game was due to post injury. Also arsenal are attacking as much fromnthe right, as left. Those assists from gibbs against reading couldve been sagnas. I find both of them have the same attacking potential.

    I disagree - Gibbs has been one of our best players this season and because Pod tucks inside gets further up the pitch. He is more attacking and a better crosser than Sagna who normally overhits his crosses, or lays off the ball to Wallcott/Ox for them to cross

      Well sagna has created atleast one goalscoring opp. Every game i remember. But its true that gibbs had attacked more, but i dont see anything that stops sagna attacking as much in the upcoming games. I rly find that they have the same potential.
