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.

      I think Mata will start tomorrow. Although I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't, as nothing with Rafatation can shock anyone, there are enough reasons for him to start.

      1) He is usually brought off before the end of a game to keep him fresh
      2) If I was a manager, playing my first local derby for a club whose fans didn't like me very much, I'd want a strong team out there.
      3) Lamps and Ramires played the whole game last game, and could possibly be dropped too IMO.
      4) He just has been that good for a dozen or more weeks for them, and it's not like they are 7 clear at the top or anything.

      First 2... Clyne might not play, and McCartney definitely won't...

    Team is looking shaky for tomorrow, but it's all part of a bigger plan!

    Bego (McCarthy)

    GJ, Gibbs, Clyne (Cuellar, Shorey)

    Mata, Michu, Walcott (vc), Sterling (Bale)

    RVP (c), Berbs, Carlton Cole

    How concerned should I be?
