Happy New Year From Fantasy Football Scout

Drawing breath before Gameweek 22 rolls in – I wish you Happy New Year from myself and all at Fantasy Football Scout.

As usual, I want to extend a huge thanks to all of you for the support you have given myself, the team and the site over the past year.

I wish I could spend more time being active and be more hands-on with the community, but that is very much one of my resolutions for 2018.

It will be a major focus for myself and Fantasy Football Scout over the next twelve months. We will be focusing development effort and new resource on it to, hopefully, enhance your experience. As a result, I plan to be “in and around” you guys more often.

Next, I thank all those who contribute to helping me produce and run the site.

To Paul and the editorial team for all their tireless effort in writing our words on the site and for our partners. To Jonty and the moderators who volunteer their time to keep the community running – I look forward to helping them more in the year to come.

And to Granville, Andy, Az and Luke who have joined me in growing the popularity of the ScoutCast over the past year. Episode two hundred and forty-five is next, which just seems bizarre.

I would also like to thank Ed and our new recruit Mat – our technical team behind the scenes who have been so vital yet again in taking things forward and keeping us running. We have further development work in test, and it really excites me to be working with them on realising our plans for 2018.

Next, I want to thank my family and what is left of my friends outside of Fantasy Football. Particularly my fiancé, Pip, and my two children who still stick around while I shut myself off each weekend and night after night. I don’t know how much longer they will tolerate me, but I’m so glad that they do.

Thanks again for sharing my passion and for choosing our pages to feed it and voice your opinions.

Many thanks again and Happy New Year to you and your families.

See you in 2018.

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

    Need to downgrade a mid to afford Kane in for Rooney. Had planned on Hazard to Arnautovic but the Salah injury has thrown me. If I get rid of him I can only afford someone up to 6.6 and I’m going to want Salah back when he’s fit. Do the Hazard move anyway and hope Salah only misses this gameweek? Heard he’s hopeful of making the City game.

    Like a lot of folk here I bought Salah for 9.0. He is now 10.1 so will lose no value in the drop. Let’s say I sell him for 9.5 for Lanzini/Anautovic for a hit (I already have Eriksen and Son). They merely need to turn up to both games for me to break even and any attacking returns I am much better off. It may cost me 0.4 or 0.5 to buy him back when hit but isn’t this game all about points and not pounds?

        I guess I'd upgrade and downgrade a. I'd to get him back in.

        I'm guessing Salah will fall to 9.8 or 9.7 in the coming two- three weeks. There's a two week break between the Burnley and City matches, so plenty of time for people to sell Salah and drop his value.
