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.

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.

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.

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.

    New plan in effect

    Migs/Fed

    Rafa, Zab, Ivanovic, Fabio, Clyne

    Lampard, McClean, Michu, Maloney, Guthrie

    Rooney, Tevez, Torres

    Can draft Vdv/Bale in for GW2 then dump Ivan for Hangeland GW3, this frees up 1.5 to upgrade the midfield.

    Any thoughts

    Federici (Friedel)
    Ivanovic — Kolarov — Harte (Clarke, Cuellar)
    Lamps (c) — Noble — Michu — Bale (Larsson)
    D. Cisse — Torres — Tevez

    Thoughts:
    - 2m in bank to transfer Torres > Rooney after gw1
    - 5 penalty takers (harte, noble, lamps, larsson, tevez) potentially D. Cisse
    - 5 double game weekers

    Risks
    - Kolorov - a big risk, but if mancini goes 3-5-2 he could be explosive as left winger
    - Harte - think he will start due to his set piece threat
    - Michu - gets the nod. 15 goals last season in la liga

      Definitely not, save a million and get Diaby though 😉

      Tricky one - not sure he is nailed onto start. I see lining up like this tomorrow

      Szchney
      Yennaris Verm Merts Gibbs
      Diaby Arteta
      Walcott Cazorla Poldoski
      Giroud

      All hinges on fitness test for Walcott.

      But guess it isn't called a punt for nothing...

        Wenger said Giroud may not start straight away.
        And Cazorla and Walcott are to be assessed.

        Put Gervinho in for Podolski and Podolski up front instead of Giroud.

      Bit more appealing with Chamberlain injured I guess but he's still a worry. Giroud and Podolski both started the last friendly so I don't see where he gets guaranteed gametime.
