Merry Christmas From Fantasy Football Scout

For 364 days a year, we can be forgiven for devoting our attention to the merits of acquiring Alan Hutton; today we really should focus on friends and family.

Having said that, the cunning Fantasy Football manager will always sneak five minutes to scan that Boxing Day fixture list one more time as the mince pies are warming. So, while I’ve got your attention, I’d like to extend a very Merry Christmas from myself, and all those involved in Fantasy Football Scout, to you and your families.

Once again, I must thank you all for the outstanding support you’ve shown the site – although I’ll reserve further sentiment for the New Year message, along with a preview of things to come from us in 2015.

For now, you ought to get back to mulling over Alan Hutton, whilst pretending to listen to that anecdote that the Father-in-law told last year. And the year before that. Get back to it: they’ll be missing you.

Having said all this, be sure pop back later today for our views on Gameweek Differentials, the Boxing Day armband, our Mondogoal tips and our round-up of all the great things to come from you, the community, in the past week. We’re all friends and family here.

Merry Christmas.

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

    Lukaku -> Tekkers or Giru?

    Tekkers -> nailed on to play all the matches, on pens, good upcoming fixtures and the lone target man in Villa side
    Giru -> on form, easy game on paper but doubt over his involvement in all the 3 matches and may get a rest in 1 of those matches

      Betenke while good, is in a team which doesn't score much.

            yep this.

            also now that carroll is there i feel hard fixtures arent as bad for downing because he is a lot more likely to get assists from his set pieces now.

        Probably not as Welbeck has still been playing regularly. If every was fit and had been for a while (like it would ever happen) then it'd be likely but not with the current injury list.
