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.

            Good fixtures for Chelsea and as I don't have any Chelsea attack was thinking Alonso could be a clever move. He has the potential to score a few goals.

    I've been on the lash the past few days, with no time to think about FPL, so great chance of saving my FT for a change!
    No flagged players for a change & Kane hattie made it easy to keep hold of him and give him back the armband, simple game really 😉

    So, with both Moreno and Clyne out, is it safe to assume Robertson is nailed?
    3 interesting fixtures, and poor as they are in defense, they should have at least 2 shut outs. Robertson also seems like a bonus magnet.
