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!

Saw Marouane Fellaini in Suburbia in Hale last night... It was about 1am and I'd had a fair amount to drink and thought it would be a good idea to go and say hello...

I said, hello mate, big fan of your work congrats on a great season... However.... Me and my mates are annoyed that you got a red card and ban because we have had to take a pout hit to transfer you out... Haha... But anyway merry Xmas...

He didnt say a word.... I walked away.... True story 🙂

I'm bored of Nolan now but have 0 in the bank...pienaar my fav choice but he's 0.2m too much.

So:

Snodgrass
Morrison
Routledge

To get some cash I could sell RVP - do you think he'll play after his near-death experience?!

  Haven't had Nolan all year. However, if u have stuck with him this long, u might as well keep him as West Ham have 'favourable' fixtures coming up, double gameweek too. It is similar with me and Berbs, he has done nothing for 7 weeks but keeping him as has a few 'favourable fixtures'. Hope this helps

        Ahh yes. To be honest there was nothing conclusive and we wont really know until Vlaar is back. Annoyingly both Baker and Herd have been injured at the same time, however after conceding there is even more uncertainty. Clark looks the best choice or sure. Enda Stevens was nailed on when fit but has been injured a while. If he returns vs Spurs he could be a good pick.
        One of Herd or Baker will drop out for Vlaar eventually but it is tough to say who.
        I have Sagna but only because I was tight on cash, Gibbs probably the better option if you arent stingy.

C) save tranny
D) sterling to any mid upto 6.4..bt who?

Begovic
Enrique davies rafael/cueller
Michu silva sterling taarabt
Rvp berbs suarez.

Am leaning towards B so that I don’t have to play sterling and 3pool players against stoke. Only problem is that I will loose so much value with caz and bale is on 4 yellows….would rather take out silva but that won’t solve the problem of fielding 3 against lpool..
