It’s 2013 and time for Fantasy Football Scout to wish all our visitors and community members a very happy New Year!

Once again, I’d like to personally extend a huge thanks to those who have worked and continue to work with me on this site, across the various iterations and guises over the years. Every year that passes I have to pinch myself at how far we’ve come and it’s no different this past twelve months. The progress we’ve made and continue to make with this site is down to the passion and commitment of those who have lent their time behind the scenes and, without question, the obsessive passion and support of a community which I’m convinced is one of the best to be found anywhere on the net. Many thanks.

I look forward to 2013 with great anticipation. We’ve big plans to move things on, not least on the community side with a new comments system which will hopefully provide so much more than just plain comments – we’re custom building it to provide the backbone of the site and a platform for the community to grow stronger, both in terms of the content provided and the links between community members and the site. I can’t wait to start showing you progress – hopefully in January, certainly in February, when we plan to start recruiting beta testers. More on that to come.

Wherever you are tonight, I hope you get home safely and with sober heads for the morning. There’s a deadline to meet and another Gameweek to test us. Here’s to a great 2012 and an even better 2013.

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

    Doing up a few mock WC at the min and it basically comes down to two final players

    A Rvp & Marveux

    Or

    B Aguaro & Fellaini

    Think City will turn it on for then second half of the season and are no longer in the CL but then Rvp is Rvp ???? Thx and happy new year!!

      You may be right but I can't see past RVP at this stage. Perhaps go with Rob for now to see what City do. Easier to downgrade Rob than get him back in if it goes to pot!

      But I would consider Defoe too due to easy opponent.

      Like this version of Crazy, a little rough around the edges but great backing band and slowed down nicely

      Actually think the opposite. Think it's one of those gameweeks where it's all a bit up in the air. Would shake on 40 with all the worries about rests...arrgh

      So many. I'm satisfied with mid and forward, but defence could be key for this GW, and mine is not so great. Didn't need that Enrique injury.

    Cazorla (Always plays well away and playing southampton)
    Michu (Playing disastrous Villa but could be injured and I don’t want a 1 point cameo)
    Hazard (QPR at home and might be in the limelight because Mata could be rested)
    Ba (Always reliable to get returns)
    Lambert (Good differential and arsenal don’t have the best defense record lately)
    Azpilicueta (Very good differential, attacking threat against QPR and very possible clean sheet)
    Suarez (Could get a blank and a yellow card or a freakin hatrick)

    WHO TO PICK FOR CAPTAIN ????!!!??

      You considered Azpil for captain? Well I would look at Suarez, Cazorla or Michu, in that order.

      RvP for me, he's the most reliable. Theyre all valid choices though, as are Defoe and Suarez this week.

      I made a bold call that RVP would score 25 league goals this season. He's on course.
