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.

    Which Chelsea def would you transfer in?

    A) Terry
    B) Apzi

      Ivan

        • 13 Years

        Worth the extra cash and more nailed on?

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          I think so. Of the two Terry's probably the best unless Azpilicueta can reassert his first-choice status.

    Just throwing my thoughts in on the sanchez 'rest' debate.

    Thinking about it by tomorrow he would have had 5 days rest since Lpool game so isn't he more likely to play this one and miss the game on 28th

    Just what I'm thinking

    1. Mary
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      I don't think so because the home to qpr fixture is a game they should win without sanchez while the other two arent

              Or her* the odds of a female fantasy player on that side of the world just seem so much lower

      Is Sterling likely to be rested?

      1. Timtastic03
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Doubt it

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

          Thanks, do you consider him a good option given Lpool's kind fixtures?

          1. Timtastic03
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            Still picking between him and AdM..undecided

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Nah, he'll get his 2 points.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          This is his gw mon. You watch

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            He probably will now I've sold him. He does look terrible in front of goal though.

            1. Get up ya bum
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 12 months ago

              You're selling i'm buying 😕
              One of us be stoopid

              1. Timtastic03
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 12 months ago

                Picking him over Silva and AdM?

              2. Epic Fail
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 12 months ago

                I sold him a couple of weeks ago to be fair. I may have give him longer if I knew he was going to be playing up front.

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

      will Austin score against gunner what does everyone think ??

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Doubt it. They're away

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        I can confirm he won't.

      3. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Hopefully he score. Wont be surprise though, that Arsenal defense... 😮

      4. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years

        Doubt it.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Awful!

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          No no don't do that - not a positive move I think. Hold it for now

    17. Sepp Blattered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      What to do with this team?

      2. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years

      3. Respect My Authoritah
        • 11 Years

        Very nice, save

    18. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Hey lads, just wondering if it's worth saving the FT or to make immediate changes?

      A) Save FT
      B) Siggy --> Sterling
      C) Baines --> Man City defender
      D) Guzan --> Hart

      Guzan
      Cahill | Baines | Naylor
      Hazard | Sanchez | Siggy | Downing
      Costa | Bony | Austin

      Myhill | Wisdom | Dummett | Marney

      1FT and 2.1m ITB

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Wouldn't do any of those 3 transfers this week so save

      2. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Best is D imo but then I don't really rate Villa defence. Think a rested Siggy and Bony will score.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Only Sanchez to Cazorla.

        Bony is standout choice!

      Who are you captaining, but just as important - why?

      I've currently got it on Hazard(c) Bony (vc)

      Reason being I'm hopeful if Hazard doesn't start, he won't be needed at all and so won't come on for a 2 pointer - and Bony is surely nailed on as he's only just been recently benched so no excuses to drop him again... so a VC to fall back on.

      Not (c) Sanchez because he looked a little jaded and think Giroud will get any goals that Arsenal score.

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        I've got Hazard (C), RVP(VC)

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Hazard as he's going to tear it up

          Hope you're right. I've got Giroud as well, but just switched it to Hazard.

            Hmmm... I'd stick to Giroud if I had him... A doubt is always a risk, imo

            Well done! Giroud can never be better pick than Hazard at home!

            I'd C Giroud if I had him.. He's nailed on to a scoresheet

        Got the same dilemma... There is still a chance that Westham will be a hard nut to crack and Mou will release Hazard for last 15 minutes, so I'm currently on Bony, but considering Eriksen as well... The thing with Sanchez is that he migh as well be a rotation victim tommorrow...

      What do you think are the odds of resting Alexis tomorrow... With Hazard doubtful, he is my first armband option and I have to say I'm a bit worried, that QPR may be perfect time to give him some time off... Bony or Eriksen seems like a safer picks...

        I was all set on A whole week but got a feeling suddenly Costa is actually decent pick for the week at home & decided to save the transfer.
        Captaining Bony myself!

            Good week for Costa & Sterling is enough to upset. I think both of them will have a good Boxing Day!
