With the third international break of the season upon us, we’re afforded time to assess the leader contenders in the Fantasy Football Scout leagues across in a variety of games. With leagues in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Ultimate Fantasy Premier League, Sky Sports and the Fantasy iTeam (FiT) Champions League game, there’s plenty to catch up on.

Fantasy Premier League

Adam Stuckert sits atop the Scout League with a total of 758 points after the first 11 Gameweeks. Adam – who notched 72 points in the previous round of fixtures – had the likes of Tim Krul, Nathaniel Clyne, Leighton Baines, Alexis Sanchez, Sergio Aguero and captain Graziano Pelle to thank for steering him to number one in the overall standings.

Vasil Raykov is just seven points behind in second spot, or third overall. He also has the likes of Baines, Clyne, Sanchez, Pelle and Aguero on board, with Brad Guzan, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Nacer Chadli and Diego Costa amongst his starters as he racked up 89 points last time around despite, like Adam, handing the armband to Pelle. Intriguingly, Vasil is the only one of our top five to have played his wildcard at this stage.

In third spot sits Matthew Furlong, on the back of a 92-point Gameweek 11. His decision to captain Aguero paid off handsomely, with the usual suspects such as Baines, Clyne, Sanchez, Sigurdsson, Chadli and Costa all amongst the points last time around.

Matthew sits just one point ahead of both Petter Gullestad and Mariusz Fyrstenberg. Petter registered 79 points in Gameweek 11, with his decision to captain Aguero reaping rewards, whilst he also had the likes of Baines, Sigurdsson and Sanchez as part of his starting XI. Another one to hand the armband to Aguero, Mariusz delivered 82 points – he’ll be hoping his decision to retain United’s Angel di Maria will prove a differential amongst our top five.

Thanks to those five managers, we’re currently retaining our spot at the top of the League of Leagues. You can join our classic league using the code 11856-4526.

Hitesh Gulati is a new entry at number one in the Scout Members league, which sits fifth in the league of leagues. He sits fifth in the overall standings, despite deciding to ignore the consistent Leighton Baines to this point, with 749 points accrued. Peter Chesley earns second spot with a total of 731 points, just edging Matt Summers into third by a single point.

Ultimate Fantasy Premier League

Lawrence White is the leader of our UFPL Scout league, after a 99-point haul in Gameweek 11 took his total to 884 for the season – second overall. Joe Hanmer is in second spot with his total of 869 points placing him 13th in the world, whilst Geoff Shotter is 13 points further behind in third spot. To join our UFPL league, use the code 524-87.

Sky Sports Fantasy Football

Jason Callender leads the way in the Scout league with a total of 826 points – that’s enough for third place in the overall standings and earns him a 38-point lead over our second place manager, Ryan Hutton. Martin Smith takes third spot after Gameweek 13 of the Sky Sports offering, with a total of 782 points helping to 32nd spot overall. The winner of our Sky league, which is also top in the league of leagues, wins Β£1,000. To join up, the league name is FFScout and the code is 8009000.

Champions League

Our official Champions League game this season is the Fantasy iTeam (FiT) offering – a free, reliable and easy-to-use Fantasy football app. After four rounds of Matchdays, Daniel Lord heads the Scout League with 328 points, whilst Waleed Cherif (314 points) and Simon Gow, on 313 points, grab second and third respectively. There’s an iPad mini on offer to the winner – the league name is Fantasy Football Scout and the pin is 11155.

We’ve set up another league for those still following the official Champions League game. Simon Butt is the leader on 316 points – 28th overall – and is followed by sidharth91 and gkalaf on 315 and 313 points respectively.

      I don't watch his shows as he can be somewhat over the top, but many of the things he has predicted have in fact come true, so there is some credence to what he says.

      In any case, I prefer to read unbiased and fact-based investigative reporting from people like Jon Rappoport and from http://educate-yourself.org/ rather than to blindly follow the politically-infused and corporate-agenda-ridden propaganda machine that is mainstream media.

      1. Get up ya bum

        lol they are both as clueless as many in the mainstream media. Just like the mainstream media they seem incapable of recognizing nuance, complexity and the grey areas. Everything is black and white good and evil us against them. I'm sure they raise some interesting points sometimes but they take them to the most moronic and dangerous conclusions. Both are often guilty of using psuedo science to promote their rubbish too.

        1. rickardinho
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          I'm not sure what you mean by "pseudo science", but if you actually read some of the material I suggested you'd actually be surprised to see that it is very carefully written to not include any bias whatsoever, and instead only focus on facts and testimony from credible whistleblowers and witnesses.

          Btw, don't think for a second that the mainstream media are clueless. Every story-line that is presented is done so for a very clear and well-constructed reason.

            There is no such thing as unbiased reporting.

                11 years, 4 months ago

                Unless Kate Adey was presenting a dispassionate list of every event ever to have occurred, then she was presenting a biased report.

            2. rickardinho

              11 years, 4 months ago

              Obviously, but what I was implying was that its as close to unbiased as you can get when you hear news from sources that aren't fueled by puppet-masters passing who try to create reality in the eyes of the general public.

              1. stilicho
                • Has Moderation Rights

                You prefer this particular brand of bias.

                  11 years, 4 months ago

                  Yes, you're absolutely right, I prefer the brand of bias that isn't fed to me by power-hungry psychopaths.

                    11 years, 4 months ago

                    That characterisation sounds a bit, what's the word? Biased.

                      11 years, 4 months ago

                      This is going round in circles. Just do yourself a favour and be a little bit critical of the news, that's all I'm saying.

                      1. stilicho
                        • Has Moderation Rights

                        11 years, 4 months ago

                        I'm suggesting one should be critical of all reporting, "mainstream" or otherwise. You, on the other hand, are advocating uncritical acceptance of the sources you subjectively like and automatic rejection of the sources you don't like. Yet ironically you're railing against "bias" - this is why we're going round in circles.

        Hey mate, hope you weren't offended by my comment - it was only in jest. πŸ™‚ Not trying to disprove what you were saying,( didn't even click on the link 😳 ), simply messing about.

          No worries mate. I kind of expect it due to what a taboo subject it (still) is, but I've spent quite a bit of time reading about it and I find it hard to believe that the general public is still so uninformed when there are so many Nasa and military whistleblowers (over 200) who have testified about it. I suppose the media has done its job in convincing people that its all just a stupid conspiracy theory and people like me are crazy tin-foil hat-wearing lunatics.

      I'd sell Chambers or maybe Welbeck

      1. mikess
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Next week I'm thinking

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, not this week especially with Welbeck's fixture.

    4. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I would.

    5. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      upgrade a defender or save, Tadic > Siggy next week it’s a nobrainer

  4. Sunny 😎
    • 13 Years

    Exams over! Finally some time for FFS.

    Any new bandwagons? Welbeck again after his 2 goals for England?

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      A massively unfounded Raylor bandwagon creaked to life this morning πŸ˜†

  5. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Been a really busy day. Time for some FFS.

    How are we, all, lads?

  6. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Seems as though this year is even more important picking the right captain. I see fantasy sides are so similar (judging by % ownership) that choosing the captain has been key and the scientific choice has not always worked. I have gambled and lost for my mini leagues but I have never been too worried about overall position.

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I think timing is just as important as well, ie when you purchase a player relative to everyone else.

  7. tokara
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I am thinking of getting Victor Moses to rotate with Siggy to get as much HOME games possible.

    Does it make sense? Siggy does look crap on AWAY games

    1. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Too many points will be benched and it's a waste of funds imo

    2. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Its not a bad idea.

      In fact, I'm going to be rotating Siggy-Downing-Austin through December to take advantage of home fixtures while avoiding bad ones.

      QPR and Swansea are great at home, but poor away, so I'm gonna bench Siggy against whm, hul, and liv, and bench Austin against swa and eve.

      This also means that should anyone be rested in the December fixtures or pick up injuries, I won't have to scramble to take hits.

      Some might say its a waste of money, but I don't agree given that Sterling-Oscar-Siggy-Downing-Austin still lets me have the big guns I want in my team.

    How many captains have you lot had this season? (Can check on Garagtron)

    Only three for me: Rooney, Costa, Aguero (most with 5)

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Same 3 as you.

      And Jovetic...

      And Balotelli *ducks for cover

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Haha. Well, to be fair I've managed to get Aguero for all his blanks.

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          (But also his 4goals and brace so can't complain)

      2. Sunny 😎
        • 13 Years

        πŸ˜†

        I made Chadli captain once 😯

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Did it come off for you? 😯

            • 13 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            No it didn't. Chadilac blanked vs Qpr πŸ™

              Punty captains haven't been very successful this season.

                • 13 Years
                11 years, 4 months ago

                Last week's Pelle didn't come off as well and Aguero went on to score a brace πŸ™

                I'm playing safe from now on

                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 4 months ago

                  Aguero was the standout captain choice last week IMO.Arguably the best striker in the league playing QPR... No brainer πŸ˜‰ Your captain better be the right choice this week... You Gauchos will need all the points you can get πŸ˜‰

                  1. Sunny 😎
                    • 13 Years
                    11 years, 4 months ago

                    Yeah he was the obvious choice. Pelle was a hopeful punt to make up some huge ground.
                    We'll be fine, you NZers worry about your haka preparations πŸ˜‰ A slip during the performance won't look good

      2. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Rooney, Hazard, Sig, Lamela, ADM, Costa, Aguero, Pelle

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      6: Aguero, Luka, Rooney, Ade, Yaya, Eriksen

      Exact same as you (Diego Costa with 5)

    5. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Number of different captains 8 πŸ™„
      Most captained player Rooney (2) 😯
      Captain score as % of your highest possible captain score 44.12% πŸ˜₯

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Wow. You like a good old fashioned punt eh

        1. mookie
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          they all seemed like good options at the time

    6. Marknlard
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      5 captains. And my VC score outstrips my C score, despite me captaining Aguero for his 4 goal haul.

      Mainly because in GW3 and 4 I went for Ramsey (2x2) and Sterling (1x2) instead of Sigurdson (11) and Diego Costa (17)

    7. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      4 for me. Those three and Lord Aleks

    8. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years

      Used Baines once; the first time ever I used a defender as captain. The first time I made a successful choice was last week Baines Agureo, Siggy, Rooney, Fabregas.

      6

      Aguero most with 4, Schurrle, Hazard, Rooney, Costa, and Pelle were the other 5 I think.

    Current team:
    Heaton
    Baines, Clyne, Coleman
    Sanchez, Maria, Tadic, Sigurdsson
    Aguero, Austin, Cisse
    Duff on bench incase Baines dont play

    btw "i'm not 'conspiring' here just stating facts and asking a straight forward question" is classic tin foil hat rabble. Raises all sorts of red flags.
    As for your question lets use a bit of occams razor. It's business. It doesn't matter that they'd never need so many bullets. Shit like this is an inevitable consequence of the military industrial complex. Oh and also yanks love guns and bullets if you haven't noticed. No such thing as too many over there it seems πŸ™‚

      Actually, you should know that there is a widespread shortage of ammunition available to the public and local law enforcement, so the "yanks love guns" argument doesn't fly. The only ones arming up to their teeth are the state, while simultaneously ensuring public disarmament. The DHS doesn't have jurisdiction anywhere other than on US soil, so there is absolutely no need for them to buy that many bullets or guns unless they intended to use them domestically.

      At the same time, legislation is being passed to deconstruct the US Constitution and strip citizens of their constitutional rights, including the right to bear arms, which, as you would be interested to know, was originally legislated by the founding fathers not primarily as a means for citizens to protect themselves against each other, but rather as a last resort to deter, and to protect themselves from, "tyrannical government".

      And I quote, "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." - Thomas Jefferson

        It was a truly crap argument when the fecker Jefferson made it, and it remains so.

        The only use that Americans put guns to, is to maim themselves.

        You can't deconstruct a constitution. You need a Constitutional Convention and a referendum to do that.

          He also said "The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it."

          And take it is exactly what the Obama administration is doing, by passing illegal gun control legislation - ie. without a constitutional convention or referendum.

              You call it stupid, but history has a funny way of repeating itself, and the last time we saw something like this happen on this scale was in a certain European country in the 1930's...

    Here are the top 5 owned players in the game:

    Costa
    Fabregas
    Sigurdsson
    Sterling
    Di Maria

    How many do you own?

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Just 1. Will be 2 shortly.

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      2 - Costa and Fab

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Just realised, I've had every one of them on my team at some point this season

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Me too but I dumped them all in my wildcard

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      3.
      No Sigg or Sterling

    4. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      only Costa, getting Siggy next week and never had Fabs, ADM

    5. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      3, might be 2 later this week.

    6. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Sigurdsson and Maria. Never got a chance to bring Sterling and Fabregas πŸ™

    7. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 13 Years

      None.

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Same here 😯

        bit scary if they all go crazy one week

    8. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Low answers as I suspected.... It shows that these numbers aren't really relevant if you're competing with active players, especially FFS regulars.

      I think the top 10k numbers are a better indicator for us

    9. Marknlard
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Four, but when I had five it coincided with a big rise up the rankings.

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        1. Marknlard
          • 16 Years

          Yeah doesn't seem right, does it? But it's always about the whole squad, that's why I've always argued against people saying 'I must sell DC because everyone else has him so I'll never overtake them'.

    10. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      2 atm. Will likely be 3 from next week

    11. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      3

    12. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      2
      Siggy & ADM

    13. Get up ya bum

      11 years, 4 months ago

      3

    14. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years

      All bar Sterling.

    15. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      the first 3...

    16. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Top 3 but with Sanchez and Aguero who will get there shortly.

    17. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusβ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      2. Sigurdsson and Di Maria.

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        all but sterling

    18. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      3 possibly ditch Fab for Haz soon and may acquire Sterling so will likely stay that way. Amazing to see Baines and Aguero arent in the mix though

    19. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Currently have Costa, Siggy, Di Maria. Swapped Fab to Haz a little while back so won't be going back to Fab now, ditched Sterling before Liverpool's massive slump

    20. ksmith5666

      4 for me, no Fabs, sold this week for Sanchez.

        Heya Billy. Yep it's fun and pretty rewarding for the hardworking ones. Definitely the perfect game for the stats crazy. Easy eh? Maybe because Curry saved you a lot πŸ˜‰

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          He's helped carry the liabilities that Rose and Lee have been πŸ™‚

          Not only him though. Gasol, Hibbert and Evans have helped πŸ˜‰

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Must be a headache to own Rose. He's like the Sturridge of NBA.

            Gasol has been very solid man, good for you. And I like Tyreke as well, he looks comfortable as a starter. Nice players you got there.

      2. Billy Gilmore

      Where is it?

  17. John Colby (C)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Been working it for much of the last 3 days

    Adrian
    Azpilicuetta - Clichy - Lovren
    Sanchez - Siggy - Chadli - Hazard
    Costa - Sakho - Aguero

    Bench: Jakupovic - Duff - Yun - Tiote and 0.3 in the bank

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Clichy? Lovren? why??

      1. John Colby (C)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        For clean sheet potential Siva - Liverpool and City's defences should be in the points over the coming 6-8 gameweeks

        1. Marknlard
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Not too sure about that.

        2. Siva Mohan
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          I always think the same and get a Pool defender and then they burn me.. TBH I am not a great Pool defense fan..

          Clichy nailed on? and with error-prone Mangala in defense.. do you see them keeping many CS?

          1. John Colby (C)
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            I think so especially with Silva coming back meaning City will be in posession for longer.

    2. AleksanderVN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Tiote -> Boyd
      Downgrad Clichy and Lovren, get Baines.

    3. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      maybe Downing over Chadli from now on and Dummett over one of Duff/Yun
      don’t like Lovren, Tiote

      1. John Colby (C)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Its a gut feeling Mookie but I just dont like Downing fantasy-football wise. Although WHU do have the fixtures.

      1. John Colby (C)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Doos is trebling up on Adrian - Downing and Sakho overkill?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          No. πŸ™‚

          But you need to sort that bench - and those two defenders.

    5. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Dont get Lovren

  18. Axel22
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    ADM or Hazard (assuming Fab will be out or not 100% fit) ?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Haz, though ADM's short tem fix are pretty exciting

      1. John Colby (C)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Nabil Im not convinced spending £10 on ADM with the way United are playing at the moment is the way to go. They look badly out of shape formation-wise.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Indeed. if Fab is 50/50 to play, I'd probably take a hit to bring Haz in

    2. John Colby (C)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Axel I read on here last week that with Man U playing with one up front its squeezing ADM's scoring potential. Plus Rooney will be playing in the favoured position of ADM who isnt a winger afterall.

    3. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Fab will be fit.. Mou games.

      Not a good time to get ADM.. they will be chasing the ball the entire game..

    4. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard plays for better team and on pens

    5. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard

    6. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusβ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Both. I have.

    7. Axel22
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      oki definitely bringing Hazard if Fab is out - cheers guys

  19. Eze Really?

    Neither.

  20. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Please answer I BEG OF YOU. Thoughts on this team and where to go with it if it was yours?

    De Gea, Gilks
    Baines, Bertrand, Chambers, Hutton, Wisdom
    Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Marney
    Costa, Aguero, Pelle

    0.2 ITB. 2 Freebies

    1. Owd Big 'Ed
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Either De Gea downgraded this week. Pelle and Fabregas to Sakho and Sanchez next week. Or Bertrand or Pelle out this week. Fabregas to Sanchez. Reluctant to lose Sterling

    2. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Why, why why Delilah?

    3. Marknlard
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Team looks good so if it was my team, I'd take advantage of the fact that there's nothing pressing and change the keeper to a cheaper one. No value in the expensive keeper this season.

    4. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Pretty nice team I'd cut DDG for 4.5 like Guzan and get Sanchez for Fab

    Bring in ADM or Hazard first? Probably need both eventually.

    i have read some of it and it's chock full of bias and psuedo science. Clowns like that really give me the shits.
    You give the media and governments way more credit than it deserves and you seek to simplify a very complex and nuanced world so that it feels like you understand it.
    Amyway you are clearly well gone. I hope you are a youngen so there.s still hope for ya. You seem like a nice fella this isn't personal but you are spouting nonsense. It's mildly ammusing to me but you seem to take it quite seriously.

      Can you give an example of the pseudo science or bias?

      Did you know that 6 corporations own all of the US media? (i.e. GE, NewsCorp, Disney, Viacom, CBS, and TimeWarner). This group effectively controls everything on television, news, magazines, movies, etc, and you will be fed what they (ie. the people who run them who have strong links to government) want you to know. http://www.storyleak.com/graphic-6-corporations-own-90-percent-of-media/

      Admittedly it is a simplified view, but I'm sure you would find it very intriguing to read more about the inner-workings of the mass media.

      For example, (to open up a new can of worms), I'm sure you and the majority of the public still believe the media-driven story that not 1, not 2, but 3 high-rise steel and concrete-reinforced skyscrapers all (unprecedentedly) imploded and turned to dust all on the same day as a result of minor fires alone. Is it not particularly startling that the BBC was reporting live that one of these buildings had collapsed even BEFORE it had in fact collapsed?! Hmm

          You haven't given a single well-grounded argument beyond dismissing my questions and mocking anything I've said, even though I've cited credible sources and examples to back up my arguments.

          Bullets - the stats are there in an article from Forbes I posted
          Biased media - I provided numbers
          Towers - I gave the BBC example
          You - nothing but contempt.

          That being the case, I think it would be best to end our discussion on anything non-FPL related as you seem to be instinctively and disagreeably dismissing anything I'm saying without even trying to approach it with an open mind.
