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.

    keeping Hazard instead of Coutinho stupid?

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No smart probably but I got rid of Haz in a rage yesterday so I'm holding Couts.

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No, Hazard could haul against Arsenal

    3. Kingtekkerz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No, dont think Coutinho will play tomorrow

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

        What, despite the fact Salah is out? Yeah, alright then...

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

          Reportedly didnt train today, rumours with Barca, played almost 90 mins last matches

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      cheers guys, if I kept Coutinho and he didn't play, and even then maybe sold, it wouldn't be good!

  7. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays

    Do Hazard and RLC to Son and Arnie for my 2FT leaving 0.3 itb ??

    Have too much money tied up in Salah ( bot at 9.0)

    Team would be:

    Adrian*
    Otamendi Dunk Masuaka*
    Salah Sterling Son* Rich Arnie*
    Kane* Firmino

    (Fab, DLC , Mee , Christensen)

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

    Happy New Year All!!!

    Now, A or B ?
    A) Jones/Christensen, Rooney, KDB > Stones, Kane, Ali (-8)
    B) Kenny, Rooney, KDB > Otamendi, Arnautovic, Kane (-8)

  9. TSN

    sorry for reposting

    final FH team. thoughts?

    Adrian (Speroni)
    Duffy Jones Otamendi (Long/Mbemba)
    Sterling Eriksen Son Lanzini Arnautovic
    Aguero Kane (ladapo)

    0.0 itb

    any advice appreciated
    thanks

  10. Kingtekkerz

    Happy new year everyone!

    Alli or Eriksen? and why

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

      Eriksen is the safest because of set pieces. Barely anything in it though. I went both. If Lamela is going to steal mins I'd say it's more likely to be Son making way.

  11. _Greg
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Happy new year everyone.

    Triple (c) Kane then bed. he'll play.

  12. JasonG123
    • 12 Years

    GTG? 0FT, 0m ITB

    Speroni
    Alonso Otamendi Ogbonna

  13. FirminoIsBetterThanYou

    Gomes
    Masuaku Duffy Christensen Otamendi
    Sterling Arnie Alli Coutinho
    DCL Kane(c)

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

    Salah + Firmino to Arnie + Kane for -4?

    Gives me frontline of....

    Eriksen Arnie Sterling Carroll Lingard

    Thoughts?

  16. F4L
    • 11 Years

    Silva Coutinho and Firmino. Any likely to start, not looking good tbh is it?

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

      Firmino maybe, the others not so sure

      1. Sir Edo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

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

          Barca...

    2. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Firmino will start.

  17. Yogi_mike

      All the best, Good Sir 🙂

  24. Uncle Gamst
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    My selling price for Salah is 9.8 worth selling for Spurs attacker and keeping Hazard for Arsenal game?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard is guaranteed to play tomorrow. This week That's huge.

      1. Uncle Gamst
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I think so too, thanks 🙂

  25. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I bought Salah at 9.3 and I'm selling at 9.7.

    I'm pretty sure he'll be close to 9.7 again in 2 (or possibly more) weeks.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Is he confirmed out?

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

        thinking the same. Will probably get him back before Swansea and cant really see him being more than 9.9 atm ( worst case). Probably 9.7/9.8

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Cheers, no point keeping then.

    2. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'd be selling from 9.2m for 9.6m for a hit. city game is 2 weeks later. Worth it for me too? I was fancying Mahrez before he signs for Arsenal with Theo going the other way...(33/1 on skybet)

  26. George James
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Happy new year all at FFS!

    am I GTG or anything worth a hit?

    1M in the bank

    Lingard & Hazard -> Arnie & Alli for a hit, sound good?

    1. stamboy
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No keep Lingard not with a hit, maybe Hazard for Eriksen, Ali or Son or Arnie to save money
