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.

    In previous festive fixtures, Spurs played 26th and then again 28th. Kane played full 90 in both games.

    Took an 8 point hit. Had to do it before the prices go up.

    Hazard > Son
    Firmino > Kane
    Morata > Aguero

    Will be triple captaining Kane.

        My thinking is rotation will happen in any DGW so I might as well just do what I want. I've got a wildcard and free hit chip for later in the season too. The games are just too good to let it pass by. The next DGWs fixtures might not be as favourable as these ones.

    Gambled on Salah Cout Carroll > Erik Son Arnie (-8) :gulp: kept Haz.

    Everyone in my ML seems to have played their trannies early, so hoping they've all dumped Haz after his no show and will get screwed by this wks Salah no show.
