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!

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Is Dawson likely to be a definite starter for Spurs form now on?
    I have a choice between
    Dawson
    or Natastic and 1.2m in bank
    to make any changes resulting from suspensions etc.

      No, BAE being back soon means Vert will move into the middle and then add Gallas and Caulker rotation. Vert and Walker are the only nailed on ones imo...

        That is/was my plan.
        Utd have a bigger squad and can afford to rotate without losing too much quality.
        Im hoping that the teams that played Sunday (including Swansea) wont rotate too much, i have a feeling picking the right (c) this week more than other could really pay off.

          I have 2 players not playing this so captaincy the most important point for me as i am sure atleast one and hoping not 2 of my players will be rotated. Rvp hasn't started n the bench for a while and like you say, they have the squad unlike swansea. I think i will go balls deep with michu. Vc Bale. They both 'have' to start 🙂

      Merry Christmas Hutton.

      I think Granville mentioned it was happening to him aswell. Not sure how he sorted it.

      I also have Suarez with the Stoke double up. Your team is gtg. Not convinced by Berbs (c) though.
