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.

  5. JJeyy
    • 10 Years

  6. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Maguire to vertonghen(SGW vs DGW) (-4)
    Or
    Rooney Salah
    To
    Aguero lanzini (-8)

    TA!

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

      Vertonghen's fixtures are not great. Not worth a hit.
      Maybe the second move, but only if your bench can't gandle salah out for one week

      1. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I have both Salah & coutinho
        If neither play, then I'll have DCL & Duffy coming on from the bench

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

    TC alli. Thoughts?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I personally wouldn’t... you got Kane no?

      Triple Captain sir Harold

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

        I do, but he has the sniffles...

  8. @fpl_phenom
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    What to do with Salah??

    Team below, Christensen a decent replacement for Salah or switch him for s hit to Eriksen /Alli ?

    DDG
    Otamendi Jones OGBONNA
    SON Lingard Sterling Salah ARNAUTOVIC
    KANE Morata

      Haven’t taken any hits this gameweek yet...

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

      Leave it

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, think so ... Salah could be back next FPL game in 2 weeks... a lot of Money tied up in him too!

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

          Exactly. Most of us have money tied up in him and will regret the sale in two weeks. Just watch how many chanves he gets every week, one week he'll get 4 or 5 goals!

    Adrian

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No way! You will want that chip later in the season... that team should score decent enough... DCL is a dud alright

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

        Thanks for replying . Good luck mate

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

      What's wrong with Jones?

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        ?

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

          He's capitalised Jones, which I assume means there's an issue with him?

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

        No . He's at risk of rest. Started last 5 so worries me

  10. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Haz-Salah-CL to Alli-Son-Firm -8.

    8 years, 4 months ago

    Adrian
    Otamendi Jones Ogbonna Zanka
    Sterling Son Arnautovic
    Kane Aguero DCL

  12. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Coutinho to Arnie for -4, or is Kane, Son, Ogbonna and Eriksen enough dgw cover?

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

      Keep him

  13. Halftime
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Probably asking some sore heads this morning but please give your opinion:

    With Salah out I'll have to start either Richarlison or Depoitre, which?

    1. Amsterhammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Dep

  14. Lukakuna
    • 9 Years

    Pope / -Adrian-
    Ota / Christensen / Kenny / Mee / -Masuaku-
    Haz / Salah / Sterling / -Arnie- / Ruben
    -Kane- / Firmino / DCL

      Should I ship out Coutinho for another Spurs mid Eriksen/Alli -8

    • 50pipsDaily
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Pick one for me please:

      A) Mee vs Liv(H)
      B) RLC vs Sou(A)
      C) DCL vs Mun(H)

    • The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years

      Really wish we knew more about Kane...

      Sat on Eriksen C for now.

      Pope
      Christensen Jones Ogbonna
      Eriksen Arnautovic Sterling Lingard
      Kane(tc) Firmino Dcl
      Elliott Salah Kenny Tarkowski
      Pope liv or Loris -4 ? 0ft 2.9 itb

    • La Roja
      • 14 Years

      So is Salah is out confirmed?

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Most reports say 2 weeks

    • #NumbersGame
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Lanzini or Mahrez?

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Long term Mahrez

    • Black Panther
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      If Salah is out which looks likely, is this team good enough or should I take a hit(s) for:

      A) Mustafi ➡️ Vertonghen (-4)
      B) Mustafi + Gross ➡️ Ogbonna + Eriksen (-8)

      Adrian
      Otamendi Jones Christensen
      Salah* Sterling Son Arnautovic Gross
      Kane Firmino
      (Elliot, Mustafi, Mee, DCL)
