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.

    Happy New Year! So who is TCing Kane?

    1. Jethrik
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Dont do it.

    2. GPV
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Nah, there will be more opportunities for TC

  2. Francescoli
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Salah (sv9.5) and Firmino -> Lanzini and Aguero?

  3. Red Card Rockets
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Any real news yet on KDB?

  4. johnnybeefcake
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Gundogan at 5.3 a good differential????

    1. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Nope

      1. johnnybeefcake
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        why not?

  5. Red-United
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I can't believe I finished 216th in the world one year and the following year finished 1,78,276th in the world...

    I miss Michu.

    1. Red-United
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      1,078,276*

  6. Dr. DOOM
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Pope
    Jones-Christensen-Otamendi
    Salah-Erikson-Eriksen-Son
    Kane-Morata

    Elliot DCL Long RLC
    0.4 itb

    Anything worth a hit here?

    1. Dr. DOOM
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Ogbonna in defense too

    2. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Double Eriksen though?

    3. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Get rid of Erikson and keep Eriksen.

    4. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Double Eriksen? You captaining him?

      1. GoonSquad
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I'd triple C double Eriksen

    5. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      You might want to swap Erikson to Alli

  7. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    GTG?

    Pickford (Speroni)
    Alonso Otamendi Ogbonna
    Salah Sterling Son Arnie Gross
    Vardy Kane

    (Dunk, Mee, DLC)

  8. johnnybeefcake
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Quaner or Niasse??

  9. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone know if any of the cheap Burnley defenders are nailed?

    Long 4.1
    Bardsley 4.3
    Taylor 4.2

    Or who's the most nailed is probably a better question.

    1. GoonSquad
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Pair Mee and Long. If one hurt or rotated, other plays.

    2. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      This gw Long, next gw, likely to be back to the bench

        1. Maddi Son
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Cheers buddy, very helpful.

        2. LǝgleSs e|even
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks TM. Will we know before deadline about Salah & Kane?

  10. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Will CHE v ARS be a goalfest and an open game like the LIV v ARS game?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Can’t see it. Chelsea much better defensively than Pool

  11. Dele
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Apologies bottomed... HNY!

    G2G? Free Hit...

    Adrian
    Jones, Otamendi, Duffy
    Sterling, Arnautovic, Lanzini, Eriksen, Alli
    Kane(c) Aguero

    Pereia, Murray, Klavan, Hunemier

    1. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Nice FH

      1. Dele
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        A few drinks and a bit of Dutch courage... excited to see how the free hit works out!

  12. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Any news on Kane, Salah, RLC, Coutinho or a Kiko?

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Apparently Salah most likely to be out, seen a few posts about him back only on the 14th of Jan.

      Still unsure, Salah giving me the headache.

    2. Butcher
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Salah out until City (H)

    3. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers all..

  13. Brosstan
    • 11 Years

    Who will be CRY goalie this week? Speroni or Hennessey?

  14. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Good night folks cheers for all the advice today.

    Team locked in:

    Lloris
    Alonso - Maguire - Masuaku
    Sterling - Richarlison - Son - Lanzini
    Kane(c) - Morata - Firmino

    Bench: Elliot - Dunk - Kenny - Surman

    I'll make a final decision whether to hit the TC later today.. hopefully there is some news in the morning.

  15. some witty pun
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Played my WC. Any tips on my team?

    Ryan - Elliot
    Otamendi - Vertonghen - Christensen - Ogbonna - Mbemba
    Sterling - Mahrez - Son - Arnautovic - RLC
    Kane - Aguero - DCL

  16. Rex Lapis
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Pogba to Eriksen worth another -4?

    already on -4 and double up on Spurs (Son and Kane)

    1. GPV
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'd do Pogba to Eriksen. United have been shocking and Spurs will score in both games

  17. steven8991
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Is this a good time to do free hit?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I don't know but I'm mighty tempted

    2. GPV
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I've done it!

      I had a shocking team with injuries and tough games. Looking much better now...

      Adrian
      Walker - Morgan - Klavan
      Sterling - Eriksen - Son - Mahrez - Arnie
      Kane - Aguero

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Lingard

  21. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    A -4 for a WHU defender is worth it?

    1. Red Card Rockets
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      no

    2. GPV
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No

  22. derdourily
    • 12 Years

    A- DDG
    B- Lloris ( -4)

    1. GPV
      • 8 Years

  23. We Will Klopp you

    Kane TC? Yes or no iyo and why?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No because of the slight risk attached. Poch might see it as the ideal time to give him a breather while he's not feeling the best

    2. Red Card Rockets
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      wait for sure thing. TC is precious

    3. Srv210
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Having my doubts coz of kane illness but fixtures are juicy ...thinking about it

    4. GPV
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'm not doing it... there will be more opportunities with less risk

  24. FFSbet.com

    I love hits but already on -16,was planing to keep 2 FT and just do Pogba + Ryan > Son + Adrian before i start to act smart with Kane > Morata last GW...
