For 364 days a year, we can be forgiven for devoting our attention to the merits of acquiring Alan Hutton; today we really should focus on friends and family.

Having said that, the cunning Fantasy Football manager will always sneak five minutes to scan that Boxing Day fixture list one more time as the mince pies are warming. So, while I’ve got your attention, I’d like to extend a very Merry Christmas from myself, and all those involved in Fantasy Football Scout, to you and your families.

Once again, I must thank you all for the outstanding support you’ve shown the site – although I’ll reserve further sentiment for the New Year message, along with a preview of things to come from us in 2015.

For now, you ought to get back to mulling over Alan Hutton, whilst pretending to listen to that anecdote that the Father-in-law told last year. And the year before that. Get back to it: they’ll be missing you.

Having said all this, be sure pop back later today for our views on Gameweek Differentials, the Boxing Day armband, our Mondogoal tips and our round-up of all the great things to come from you, the community, in the past week. We’re all friends and family here.

Merry Christmas.

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

    so what is the mood here
    ditching hazard or leaving it a hazard??
    will lose 0.2 on him but i also have a playnig bench
    no obvious changes are possible except fabs or eriksen, doubt di maria will play twice having just returned from injury and have silva as city cover and not interested in pool

    1. andres
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      If there is no news, which is the case I will keep probably

      1. big oak
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        it seems almost certain to miss WH
        no news about the after

        1. andres
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          How do you know?

    2. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Keep its not long term. But Fab is the more needed atm I feel.

  2. Just A Wooden Spoon
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Just checked the stats for Sanchez vs Cazorla for the last 4 games. Caz absolutely smashes it 😯

    1. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Yes he is looking very good. His stats are looking like his 2012/2013 season where he was a great FPL option.

    I'm going to eat and get drunk. Have a good day everyone 🙂

    1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Don't tell me what to do.

  4. FPLEL
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Current def is Baines, Zab, Chambers (Hutton, Yun)

    Talk on here is that Chambers may be rested, so I was thinking:

    Chambers -> Vergini

    Thoughts?

    1. Bastien
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      play hutton

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Even against Swans away? I was thinking Vergini would be good for at least a couple of weeks, then he rotates with Hutton. Chambers' days are numbered anyway.

        1. big oak
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          duno about vergini really, sunderland seem unpredictable
          but chambers need to go especially with yun injured u will need a playnig bench this period

          1. FPLEL
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            Yeah, they aren't exactly a brick wall, Panti is really playing well. Is Vergini at least nailed, do you think?

    2. Fais
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      I have exactly the same defence. Yun is also out for a while and I'm worried about rests elsewhere which is making me tempted to do a double transfer. Think if I were only to do one it would be Yun though because there is at least a chance of chambers playing tomorrow

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Yeah, I would love to be rid of Yun but I have 0 ITB. The only option would be Yun -> Saylor. I'm not sure Saylor is nailed though.

        1. Fais
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          How many other rotation risks do you have? Could always offload both of them

          1. FPLEL
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            I have: Hazard, Alexis, RVP, Sakho, Chambers and even Zab is an outside chance. I really do need that playing bench, don't I 😛

  5. Sooda
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Foster
    Bertrand, Yun, Bartley -
    Fabregas, Sterling, Yaya T, Downing -
    Austin, Costa, Bony

    Bench: Krul, Siggurdson, Wisdom, Hutton

    2.3 Mill ITB , 1 FT

    What would you do?

  6. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Did anyone have Walters when he scored 2 own goals and missed a penalty?

    1. And we all have legs
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Austin

  13. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Seeing as I just bought Falcao I may as well captain him right?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Yes 🙂

      1. The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

      1. The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Only have Sanchez but then again he's as good an option as any.

    4. Waterwheel Inc.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      In for a penny . . .

    5. Sánchez
      • 13 Years

  14. Zeeco
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Is hazard fit to play against the hammers?

  15. andres
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    So who has sold hazard?

  16. Caesar, Hot Mustache
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    I've held Costa too long. & I brought in Cazorla for a one week punt.

    Costa + Cazorla. front 8: Siggy Sanchez Hazard Downing Cazorla Costa Kane Austin

    A. Benteke/Fabregas
    B. Benteke/Silva
    C. Other suggestions?

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years

    1. melvinmbabazi

      Giroud

  20. Waterwheel Inc.

        Thank you AH. do i need to transfer Elliot out??
        worried about Hazard!

        1. AH 🙂
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          What the latest on hazard ? I would upgrade Wallace really

          1. BKR
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            no news on hazard! everyone seems taking risk with him,

            I know, Wallace but to whom??

        2. BKR
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          Expecting some help. Please anyone?

  24. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    One last one.

    Which one to drop?

    1. Downing (che)
    2. Chambers (QPR)
    3. Taylor (AVL)

    1. colin1201
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      take note most of downing's points have come away from home

      1. The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        yeah that's the problem, and West Ham going well.

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      has to be downing

      1. The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        I think so too, even more so that I have Azpilicueta.

        I know Downing could easily get attacking returns but he's unlikely to explode. Famous last words.

    3. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      I think that decision will be made for you -chambers. I would be dropping him anyway

      1. The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Hopefully doesn't come off the bench if he doesn't start.

    FACT: No current player has scored more Boxing Day goals than Theo Walcott.

    1. Waterwheel Inc.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Hah! Good stat.

  27. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    I keep getting advised to save my FT this week, but it just seems like there's something missing in my team. Most notably being without any City players.

  28. McSauce
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Bony or Sanchez (C)???

  29. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Baines (C) anyone?

    Mirallas could miss out and that means Baines assists/goals

    1. Fplnooob
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      he is my (VC)

    2. AWESOME-O
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      not for me. If Everton were keeping clean sheets then I'd consider..
