Merry Christmas from Fantasy Football Scout

We at Fantasy Football Scout, and I personally, would like to wish all of our readers and their families a very happy and healthy Christmas.

Often in our short seasonal message of goodwill we urge you to tear your retinas away from our site and spend some quality time with your loved ones but, while we repeat that sentiment here, it’d be naive to think that many of us won’t have half an eye on Gameweek 19, even when otherwise engaged on Christmas Day.

Whether it be points hits and postponements while the kids are opening the presents, weighing up a Free Hit over the figgy pudding or sizing up a Son-for-Salah swoop while Skypeing your nan, there’ll be the Jacob Marley-like spectre of a Boxing Day deadline preying on our minds.

Our FPL coverage nevertheless takes a break for a day, as it should, and we’ll return with a vengeance and possibly a hangover with some Gameweek 19 content tomorrow, starting with a timely piece from Lateriser on the Free Hit.

As the first glass of cheap fizz starts to take its effect, I’d like to extend a huge thank you for your continued support and patronage of the site throughout not just my brief stint as editor but over 2021 as a whole and the many years before that.

It really is a privilege to work for the site and I hope we can continue to make strides and improve on what we offer in the year ahead.

From myself and all at Fantasy Football Scout, we wish you a very merry Christmas.

    Salah and Dennis to Mount and Ronaldo (c) for a hit (-4)?

    The latest round of Covid tests will determine if these games go ahead:

    Norwich vs Arsenal
    Spurs vs Palace
    Villa vs Chelsea

    The EPL board most likely won't make a decision until they have those results today, so this could be as late as possible. Again

    Anything else is guesswork. Nobody knows atm

      Don't lose King. Bad timing. And especially not for Maupay, who isn't nailed, simply because of how bad he is

    So, err... Any major winter transfer window rumours?

    All I've seen is Raph to Bayern, which will probably relegate Leeds. I have my doubts

    City might want a Mendy replacement and a fourth attacking mid, and maybe send the likes of Palmer out on loan (Harrison enjoyed that). This isn't based on any rumour, but just my guess. Hard to find quality in the winter window though

    Maybe Everton moves? Have you seen anything?

          Mykolenko from Dynamo Kiev seems a done deal. Some lad who has hardly played for Rangers is mentioned a lot at right back. A midfielder who can link defence to attack is the understanding so I guess that could be a number 10. Rafa does like a 4231

                  We have been hamstrung due to FFP with having other clubs rejects on massive wages which are not good enough for the Premiership.
                  Not that Digne is a reject but his likely departure and Mykolenko’s arrival will reduce the clubs wage bill by 70k a week.

          Every move waits for 30 minutes pre-deadline these days, imo

          Cancelo rumours have been handled by Sam Lee and some sleuths. Stuff like a family Christmas pic from the lad himself, and being spotted from behind in a training vid

          I'm not certain either way, but he's good long-term anyway. Especially for Williams. Maybe another nailed defender for GW19 instead, like Reguilón
