We’re almost there. After three months, countless RMT’s (That’s Rate-My-Team for our new readers), a whole host of injury scares and the regular gamut of transfer talk, the season is now just hours away.

This means just one thing- it’s time for a host of the Fantasy Football Scout team to start off one last debate by sticking our necks on the line with predictions for the year to come. As evidenced by last year, our choices can range from the sublime to the ridiculous – let’s see how the cards fall for 2011/12…

I, Andy, kick things off by singling out teams and players I am not perhaps known for endorsing. Towing the party line, then, I’ve done everything I can to make my predictions as impartial as possible. Not believe me? Look- no Fernando Torres…

    Have had no doubts until now.

    Van P or Rooney?

    I will either have no united coverage or no Arsenal coverage.

    Van P got a brace against newcastle away last year and Rooney got one goal against WBA.

    Have had Rooney until now and am leaning towards Van P. Thoughts??

      A tad few many people who may not score big in midfield there...have one or two but to have Tarrabt, Moses and Ses and on on top of that Nzog who blows hot and cold is risky. 2 out of those 4 I would try again. But good luck anyway just my view.

      its quality, any feedback would just be opinion

      Sess would be the one red light for me, but thats just IMO

      If you have invested in their defense you can probably get away without at this stage because of a lack of clear options.
