Welcome to the holiday edition of the Fantasy A-League Form Guide! The guide will be taking on a different look temporarily, as the 24 hour gap between Rounds 12 and 13 doesn't allow us much time for a proper analysis, especially considering that 24 hour period encapsulates New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. So instead of going through the two rounds game by game, I will do a short summary for each team and highlight the key options over the coming two rounds. Also, on Friday the Australia squad for the AFC Under 22 Championships was announced - players selected for the tournament will be unavailable for Rounds 14, 15 and possibly 16 if the Young Socceroos progress far enough. I will discuss this too but you can find the full list of players named here. And of course, keep in mind that the Wanderers and the Victory will be doubling up in Round 14, then having the bye in Round 19.
If you have any questions on something not covered here, or just want some specific advice for your team, I will again be participating in the Zeebox Live Fantasy A-League chat on Thursday (once again changed due to the Boxing Day game) at around 2pm Eastern, so click the link at the appropriate time and join the discussion! Otherwise you can use the comments section at the bottom of the page or contact me on Twitter. As I'm writing this on Tuesday, the official squad lists for all the games are not available, but again I've done the best I can to piece together (with help from Ben of course) which players are unlikely to play a part in the upcoming games.
