Merry Christmas From Fantasy Football Scout

Christmas Day is finally upon us, giving us the opportunity to take a break from Fantasy Premier League, as hard as that is.

While you’ll probably be devouring roast dinner rather than FPL content on this special day, I’m sure the cogs in your mind will still be whirring over the next 24 hours.

You might open presents hoping not for a pair of socks but for a double-figure captain haul under the wrapping. Or perhaps instead of deciding whether to go for light or dark turkey meat, you’ll be more perplexed over whether you should start Wan-Bissaka or Ryan Fraser on Boxing Day.

It has been a season of transition at Fantasy Football Scout. The biggest change has been our esteemed leader Mark taking a step back from the forefront of things, and the introduction of a new team.

I want to extend my thanks to the Fantasy Football Scout community for making us feel so welcome in these new roles. Believe me when I say it was quite a daunting prospect when we first took them on, considering the monster-sized boots we had to fill!

The work of deputy editor Neale, community manager Geoff and Paul, as ever, plugging away behind the scenes, have been invaluable to helping us produce content we have been proud to deliver.

A great big thanks also goes to our team of mods for the endless and difficult job they do for us everyday.

That just leaves me to make a rare request for you to tear yourself away from the site for this one day of the year and spend some time with your family and friends.

We will have the team news round-up, scout picks and captain analysis coming out either later today or tomorrow morning so that when you log back into the world of Fantasy football on Boxing Day morning you will have everything at your finger-tips for Gameweek 19.

      1. Tev
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I reckon he’ll start and come off early. Will certainly make waves if he’s benched. We’ll see...

    4. Champione
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      not a bad shout. Think you'll get at least two out of those four right

      1. Tev
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        We’ll see mate, what you reckon?

        1. Champione
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Trent, Sane and maybe Alonso

    5. KukaVain
      • 9 Years

      Alonso, Salah, Auba, Robertson

      1. Tev
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Robbo benching would be great, depends quite how poor Klopp thinks Newcastle are to play Moreno!

  3. Champione
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Bench
    A) Jimenez
    B) Richarlison

    1. Tev
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Jiménez I think

  4. New Article

    Which move would you prefer to bring some ManU

    A) Snoddy > Martial
    B) Kamara > Rashford
    C) Snoddy + Jiménez > Martial + Rashford for -4

    Attack atm:
    Hazard Sane Son Richarlison Snoddy
    Kane Jiménez Kamara

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years

    Merry Christmas everyone..

    Bit of a benching headache

    Fabianski or McCarthy

    Digne or Doherty

    1. DEEGTADKMC
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      bench mccarthy and digne

    Merry merry Christmas team! And all of the best for the New Year!

    Play alonso or digne?
    Watford are better at attacking than burnley. So more chance of digne cs? Similar attacking threat? Digne also has more bps.

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Burnley have quiet a good record at home to Everton recently so can see them scoring and Everton spirits will be low after that battering from Spurs. Can see a score draw in this one. Hopefully Digne can produce an assist though.

    1 FT and £1m ITB:

    Fabianski (Hamer)
    Digne Kola Doherty (AWB Schindler)
    Hazard Sané Anderson Richarlison (Gunnarson)
    Kane Auba Rashford

    1) Any way I can play AWB ahead of somebody?

    2) Roll or transfer Anderson to Martial?

    Opinions appreciated!

    1. Last Raulist Alive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe AWB in and Kola out. And I would transfer in Martial for Anderson.

  13. DEEGTADKMC
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Draft:

    play 3 out of the following:

    Luke Shaw/Alexander arnold/Digne/Doherty/Van aanholt
