Happy New Year From Fantasy Football Scout

Drawing breath before Gameweek 22 rolls in – I wish you Happy New Year from myself and all at Fantasy Football Scout.

As usual, I want to extend a huge thanks to all of you for the support you have given myself, the team and the site over the past year.

I wish I could spend more time being active and be more hands-on with the community, but that is very much one of my resolutions for 2018.

It will be a major focus for myself and Fantasy Football Scout over the next twelve months. We will be focusing development effort and new resource on it to, hopefully, enhance your experience. As a result, I plan to be “in and around” you guys more often.

Next, I thank all those who contribute to helping me produce and run the site.

To Paul and the editorial team for all their tireless effort in writing our words on the site and for our partners. To Jonty and the moderators who volunteer their time to keep the community running – I look forward to helping them more in the year to come.

And to Granville, Andy, Az and Luke who have joined me in growing the popularity of the ScoutCast over the past year. Episode two hundred and forty-five is next, which just seems bizarre.

I would also like to thank Ed and our new recruit Mat – our technical team behind the scenes who have been so vital yet again in taking things forward and keeping us running. We have further development work in test, and it really excites me to be working with them on realising our plans for 2018.

Next, I want to thank my family and what is left of my friends outside of Fantasy Football. Particularly my fiancé, Pip, and my two children who still stick around while I shut myself off each weekend and night after night. I don’t know how much longer they will tolerate me, but I’m so glad that they do.

Thanks again for sharing my passion and for choosing our pages to feed it and voice your opinions.

Many thanks again and Happy New Year to you and your families.

See you in 2018.

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

      I triple captained Kane last season and got 93 points. If you care what I think (and I wouldn't argue with you if you don't :)) I wouldn't. The fixtures are great but he might not start one match and that doubt is enough to save the TC.

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      i fell for that one too-)

      but i also consider it was better options at 6-7m in midfield than in striker department so i opted for 3-5-2 with Firmino as second striker (Kane 1st) and got a midfield which is not big hitters like 10m Hazard or de bry premium but a combination of value and differentials and explosive players; Sterling, Lanzini, Zaha, Son and Salah. I like the look of it but one never know how it pans out. Felt like Callum Wilson was my only choice up front below 6-7m and that was not inspiring at all.. Zaha for a Palace team that plays very well under Hodgson seems like value although his lack of bonus points could be a source of frustration. Kept Salah becausein him and for now it seems he is back vs City so no point shipping for one game. And my bench is quite good with Robertson coming in

    I got Salah in at GW13. The price was 9.6....
    If I trade him out now I'd get 9.8 though his buy back is 10.1. Is the value worth holding or trade him out temporarily for the likes or Eriksen or Alli?

      • 7 Years

      tricky one, if sales are anything to go by he will fall at least 0-1 or 02 even 0.3 during that ten days spell betweeen gw22 and 23, so maybe worth the risk but to i would´nt as you´re using a transfer twice, because you´l lwant him back. But it´s fort a double and that counts pro for me, but it also depends who on bench to come in, huge difference between a good sub or a bad sub to come in. I have value tied up and Robertson who most likely wil get a cleanie so i don´t bother but if say Carroll was to come in i would consider. Tough decisions
