Merry Christmas from Fantasy Football Scout

25 December 2025 408 comments

Skonto Rigga

All of us here at Fantasy Football Scout would like to wish a very merry Christmas to our readers and their loved ones.

We’re taking a brief pause from the editorial content (and the self-flagellation after bringing in Bruno Fernandes early) to spend time with our loved ones, but we’re not forgetting the looming FPL deadline.

We’ve got more Gameweek 18 articles to come over the the next 24 hours, including the Scout Picks, Captain Sensible and a piece from Lateriser.

We hope to bring you a final team news round-up, too, should anything of note emerge late.

Editorial content will resume tonight, while the predicted line-ups will be finalised, as well.

Until then, we’d like to extend a huge thank you for your continued support of the site throughout 2025.

There’ll be a more prolonged retrospective in the traditional New Year’s message but, from all at Fantasy Football Scout, we wish you a very happy holidays.

      Hincapie might well play. I have a similar problem bench boosting with Esteve this week. Saliba not the best long term pick and Gabriel might be back soon my guess is vs Villa but who knows either way Arteta.

  Not E because he's a forward. C unlikely to play a lot, A and B not likely worth their higher price tag and D has two tough games but would probably be my choice on basis he's nailed, on form and gives spare cash over A and B

  As below, I think you can Sakarifice the Arsenal star man and go Rice instead (I have both). Rice will score less, but that £3m difference can be put to good use.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Want to lock in Guiu to Ekitike. Which is looking best way to find it?

A. Bruno F to Miley
B. Saka & Bruno F to Cunha & Bruno G (-4)
C. Saka & Bruno F to Wirtz & Bruno G (-4)

Got a BB so feeling happy with a hit/losing Saka.
