Merry Christmas from Fantasy Football Scout

Christmas is all about family. About sharing. About goodwill to all men.

I do a bit of that, though my day also involves points hits, rotation concerns and whether Harry is going to blank at Wembley.

I don’t wish this on you but, deep down, I know it’s too late. You’re just as lost in this as I am.

So that only leaves me to thank you for reading this and, of course, on this special day, for all your support for what we do here at Fantasy Football Scout.

Having this link to thousands of like-minded folk, similarly happy to burn hours contemplating budget strikers, is a comfort and a massive gift in itself. So thank you.

While I urge you to rejoin your friends and family, or at least find a channel showing Die Hard or Escape to Victory, I should also remind you that our Scout Picks and Captain Sensible articles will be with you later today.

Eat well, drink relatively sensibly and enjoy the day.

Merry Christmas and thanks again.

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

      Very good team. Keep Haz for next 2 and reassess. Lingard is not nailed but I'd prefer him over Shaqiri

  12. SpaceCadet

    Smalling to Jones for free worth doing?

    Or Aguero to Moata/Firm?

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Your team link is wrong. Depends on your other players. If you can cover for Smalling I'd keep and possibly do Aguero to Morata especially if you don't have Haz and have City mids.

      1. decisions
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        DDG
        Smalling, Mee, Mariappa, Kenny, Ogbonna
        Sterling, Haz, Salah, Rich, RLC
        Kane, Aguero, DCL

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          do you have money for Christensen? United have been leaky lately, good fixtures though. Wouldn't like to play Mee or Mariappa.

          1. decisions
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            No, have 5.5 only... unless I take a hit!

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Save
      Kun to morata looks ok but a bit sideways

    So.. according to here, Pochettino will definitely start Kane for the record goals. But really?? It's not even an official award. Dont they just record these yearly goal stats just recently. If I was Pochettino I would be weary to adhering to this and have to risk Kane being injured or too tired.

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Spurs have a blank after Soton. Kane is as nailed as a player can be for this GW.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      It's a good job you're not Pochettino!

    3. La Roja

    1. CloudSky

      Id wait one more.

    2. _figu

        Next week you can wc a team without Kane. Put Morata/Lukaku as a placeholder and get Kane for double.
