Merry Christmas From Fantasy Football Scout

Here it is – the one day of the year where I legitimately attempt to prise mind, body and spirit away from Fantasy Football. And here I am posting this.

I will keep this short, saving a more prolonged retrospective and preview of things to come for the New Year’s message.

However, while I’m here and feeling warm and fuzzy, I’d like to speak for everyone associated with Fantasy Football Scout and extend a huge thank you for your fantastic support and for the contributions you make to what is, in my opinion, one of the very best football communities around.

Now, for once, I encourage you to tear your retinas’ away from the screen, shelve those thoughts of overlooking Zlatan as captain and edge back to families and friends. They may not be able to help guide your captaincy dilemma but we’ll all be here to help when you get back.

From all at Fantasy Football Scout, we wish you and your family a very merry Christmas.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Would you say Pedro is pretty firmly ahead of Willian in the pecking order for the foreseeable future?

            Yeah I know but Conte said he wanted to give Pedro a rest and praised his form. Willian wasn't great in that game either.

      was thinking about this this morning.
      Actually says more about the "univeral" appeal of FPL and this site.
      A lot of posters now that don't necessarily have Xmas in their own countries or (like myself) in Europe had main Xmas celebration last night.
      would be interesting in New Year to have a poll on where posters are really from.

          Keep an eye on that.. As bad as palace were they loved to attack and benteke actually had the most shots in the box out of ALL players for the last 12 games. Likely to reduce as Big Sam tightens it up
