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.

    Uh oh.... Completely forgot that Wanyama is back..... eek.

      Who's the casualty if Wanyama is back

      1. Fred54

        Football.

          Dier into back 3 with Son onto bench?

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

            It's a possibility.

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

              Unless Kane is Calpol'ing then Son plays striker anyway

        • Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          It's more a question of if we move back to 3-4-2-1 or 3-5-2

          In the former case, Son drops out. In the latter case, Eriksen or Alli drop deep. Neither is ideal.

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            wanyama won't play both games, likely he will play 1 just coming back and the other dembele starts if fit.

            If so, reckon Dier to shift into cb for one game to cover v vert/sanchez

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

              Indeed

      3. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Probably will feature in one.

    2. Reggie Nainggolan
      • 9 Years

      Arnie for FT or Son (-4)

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Arnie. I guess you already have another Spurs mid.

      2. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Arnie

      3. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Arnie

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

      Mee or dcl first sub?

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Mee.

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

      A) Couts -> Son

      B) KDB -> Eriksen

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I did Cout > Eriksen, BUT he could play, whilst KDB got injured, so in your case, I'd do B) as I wrote earlier today.

        1. Hansel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Ta. I'm pretty sure Coutinho will go to Barca though, and KDB was just a kick so might play? Was rumours on Coutinho missing practice today?

      Happy new year to ya'll!! May you all achieve the rank you deserve and may your captains score endless hatricks!

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Calm down.

      2. Yozzer

        8 years, 4 months ago

        Can anyone sum up the main injuries/news that have occurred today please?
        Heard Jesus injured for a month, KDB probably injured and Salah out for 2 weeks. Anything else?

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Dann may be out for a while.

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

            Ty

      3. FPL Puppy
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        What do you prefer?

        A) Alonso in a 4-4-2 formation.

        B) Richarlison in a 3-5-2 formation.

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Alonso. Rich is rubbish

      4. CERVELO
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Thinking o

        Morata / Haz / Cork > Kane / Son / Arnie -8

        Would look like

        Foster
        Jones Ota ogbonna
        KDB Son Arnie Zaha
        Kane Firm DCL

        Elliot Salah Zanka Mbemba

        Worth it or any differt suggestions?

        Tar.

      5. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        With Salah out which is the better option to play?

        1) Quaner (lei)
        2) Richarlison (mci)
        3) Richarlison to Lanzini (-4)

        I can’t afford Arnie over Lanzini btw.

      6. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I dont know if having Mark "in and around me" is in my vision for the future of FFS

      7. Magic Bean
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Have exact cash to do Salah Morata > Kane and Son -4...What do we think?

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

          depends on how much cash you loose on Salah

          1. Magic Bean
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Bought Salah for 9.1 so prob should just leave it

        2. ILOVEBAPS
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Fine if u don't mind losing some cash

      8. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Is this crazy?

        Salah Coutinho Carroll > Eriksen Son Arnautovic (-8)

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          As long as you can get Salah back it seems okay

          1. Legomané
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Would stil have Haz

      9. Hobolicious
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        A) Christensen
        B) Vertonghen (-4)
        C) Ogbonna (-4)

        1) Keep Salah (will have to play Christensen/DCL)
        2) Alli/Eriksen (-4)

      10. Everyday im Schneiderlin
        • 12 Years

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          probably not. cut off is 11:30 am. if we're lucky we might get a leak. but nothing official

          1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
            • 12 Years

      11. A.T
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Do you think Robertson will keep his place when Moreno is fit?

        Happy New Year btw.

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          yes . I do.

          1. A.T
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            But want fancied until the injury though??

        2. AndyCook
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Rotate most likely

          • Netley Lucas
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            No, Klopp seems determined to make Moreno good

            1. A.T
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 4 months ago

              That's what I fear.

        3. Super Silva

          • 13 Years

          Which option scores more points in GW 22?

          A. Zanka (lei)
          B. Vertonghen -4 (swa, WHU)

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

            b

        6. A.T
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Best defender for 5.3?

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Is there one ? Stones and Jones at 5.4 and 5.6 respectively are surely where you should be aiming ? .

            1. A.T
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 4 months ago

              I would if I could. Needs someone else short term.

                • 14 Years
                8 years, 4 months ago

                Maguire

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

          If Couthino departs surely Firmino's place will be more secure?

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

            Yes but Firmino's place is already secure

          2. Gravless wonder
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Firmino's place is extremely secure already, aside from a rest every now and then. They are not in direct competition for a place. I'd expect Ox and Lallana to play more

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

          Happy new year!!

          Adrian is in the scout picks, but is there any indication that Hart will play in one (or both) of these games?

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

          Is Alli worht the extra 1.0 over son?? On a wildcard and can afford to do Alli instead of Son

        12. UnitedFan
          • 10 Years

          Coutinho > Alli for free yeah?

                Only gonna miss 1 PL game. Crazy to get rid unless you bought him recently.

          • 12 Years

          What to do with David Silva and Mo Salah? No FT left. Subs are Peter Crouch and Calvert-Lewin.

          (DGW: Kane & Son from Spurs + Masuaku from West Ham)
