Over the last week or so the Fantasy Football Scout fold have been sharing our innermost thoughts with regards to some of the most “Burning Questions” ahead of the new campaign. To accompany our views there, here’s our annual quick-fire round of predictions, where we let you know the players each of us are tipping to shine in a new season…

As our entry from last year will show you we’re prone to making the odd mistake (or seven). Steve Kean, eh? Who would have thought he would still be in a job. Even after he got Blackburn relegated, as half of us rightly predicted.

Here follows our thoughts on the year ahead. Soak it in and then join the discussion and offer your thoughts and counter-comments down below.

Andy, that’s my good self, kicks things off for 2012/13 with what is no doubt a bit of a fancy for one player in particular. And it’s not even Gylfi Sigurdsson. This is almost partisan from our resident all-rounder.

The Premier League

Top Five (1-5): Man City, Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham
Bottom Four (17-20): Norwich, QPR, Wigan, Reading
This year’s Overachievers: Aston Villa
This Year’s Underachievers: Fulham
Top Goalscorer: Sergio Aguero
Most Assists: Seb Larsson
Team with Most Clean Sheets: Man United
Most Yellow Cards: Samba Diakite
First Boss to Bite the Bullet: Mark Hughes
Worst Signing: Marcus Rosenburg

Second out of the traps is Big Dunc. One of two Everton fans on the Scout payroll our resident toffee can’t help but get a little bit excited at the prospects of his club. Is he mad? We’ll find out by May.

Having signed mid-way through last Stilicho gets his first Scout attempt to show everyone just how prophetic he is. His opinions on Norwich pretty much separate this gent from everyone else involved so he’s either a mad heretic or the one we should all be looking to in the future.

Granville gets a weekly platform on the Scoutcast to discuss and debate with Mark on all things Fantasy Football related. In this post he has, perhaps unsurprisingly, decided to pick some answers from the red side of Manchester. What’s more surprising is that we can see some light blue too.

Also having his first dabble at infamy is Jonty. With no Premier League allegiances for this Brighton fan, his picks can come untainted by any frivolous behaviour. He wisely agreed with me about a certain West Brom player.

The Premier League

Anorak may be our resident specialist when it comes to the men in black but he also likes to think he can be a dab hand at Fantasy football too. As far as top goalscorer predictions, he marks himself out as the black sheep of the Scout fraternity by being the only one not to tow the party line.

Having churned out more top quality articles than Anchor have butter, Paul is well versed on all things Premier League and as such we expect him to score 100% when we mark his results in May. Even if one of his answers is Emmerson Boyce, who are we to second guess?

Mark The guv’nor brings up the rear and clearly has a problem with Swansea’s prospects, whilst talking up that Southampton mob. Mark backed Grant Holt last season and, similarly, he’s going with Rickie Lambert to turn up with a similar goal spree. Oh, and he still fancies Leighton Baines. Must be the haircut or the record collection.

    Got a bet I like in Croatian Premier League tonight, K.O. 19:00. I know there are a few Croatians on here so any comments welcome.

    NK Zagreb v Slaven Belupo

    Zagreb have had a very poor start to the season, losing all 4 opening games with a goal difference of 1:9. Slaven Belupo have had a good start winning 3 of their games and losing one (the loss came at an away game before they played Bilbao with a lot of players rested), they also boast a better head to head success rate with Zagreb winning just 4 of last 19 with 3 draws.

    Away win @ 13/10 looks good value to me. Good luck.

      My defense might look very much like that.

      I like your team. Maybe go A.Cole just for inner peace.

      Very nice.

      My only concern is your inability to bring in RVP/Rooney/Aguero.

      To get in Utd coverage I'll either get in Valencia for Nasri or do Nasri -> Pienaar and upgrade Torres
