The ScoutCast – Episode 166 – Patsy

It’s Jonty’s time to curry sympathy this week and he’s on the receiving end of a barrage of cyber-bullying from co-host Granville.

Determined to the belittle Jonty’s Wildcard performance following Callum Wilson’s hat-trick, Granville takes to Twitter before roasting him live on air on the ScoutCast. He seems to have totally missed the fact that I too sold on Wilson as part of my own Wildcard; I’m quite happy for Jonty to play Patsy on this one.

Jonty rolls with the virtual punches to join us as we look back on the Gameweek that saw all three of us refresh our squads. We score our Wildcards out of ten, before scanning the community for Gameweek tales in “Rough with the Smooth”.

We then take on your questions, as we assess Pedro’s pedigree, the lure of Aleks Kolarov and the merits of a well-rounded squad in the light of the FPL chips.

This ScoutCast was first broadcast live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday. Be sure to subscribe to our channel for news of upcoming live Casts. You can view the broadcast in full via the larger player below but, if you prefer the edited audio version, you’ll need this link or the smaller player.

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

      Pelle plays against a weaker opposition this week. Nay.

      Not this week

        cheers mate.

      Im in a minority but yes for me. A transfer isnt for one week. SOT are awful

      1. AA
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        SOT won't be this awful throughout, either.

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          maybe not but how long to wait with non goal scoring and assiting forwards and mids while others score for fun. Im sure i will be back to SOT later in the season

          1. AA
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            I hear you. But definitely not this week when they play NOR. Wilson could easily blank this week.

            1. Joggers Nipple
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 8 months ago

              Fair enough, i dont own any SOT and yes NOR at home would tempt i guess

  2. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Really stuck on this weeks transfer.....

    Butland
    Kompany Gomez Richards
    Yaya Mahrez Redmond Depay
    Aguero Diouf Gomis

    Ruddy Payet Darmian Huth
    3.5 itb

    Who do I need more?.......
    Sanchez (Ars not performing)
    Pedro (still new)
    Costa (finding form, differential)
    Benteke (great fixtures and high ownership)
    Coutinho (form and fixture)

    Also could play Darmian over Gomis?

    1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Costa or Sanchez

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        This

    2. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez for me. Especially with Janmaat back, he couldn't cope with Montero so....

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        To be fair I don't think many could when he's in that mood.

        1. Pap Le Cissier
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          True, but if there's one thing we've struggled with this season defensively, it's pace

          1. Dr Dream
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Quite impressed with your lot last week. Really good.

            Thoughts on Mitrovic ?

    3. HVT

      1ft or 2?

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Just 1.

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Chelsea
          CPL eve ARS new

          Liverpool
          WHM man NOR AVL

          Trekkers looks more tempting

    Watford have entered the race to sign Fabio Borini from Liverpool, according to Sky in Italy.

    The 24-year-old Italian is considering a move after falling further down the Anfield pecking order following the arrival of Christian Benteke, Danny Ings and Divock Origi this summer.

    Sunderland and Inter Milan have also been linked with the player.

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Hope he gets a permanent move and starts, think he still could be ok

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah he could be decent

    2. King Huth
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      no point him going... he lost it i think

  4. InRafaWeTrust
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Looks like Moreno could be given the start over Gomez at home to West Ham.. Lovren the Liverpool defender to own imo

    1. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      What makes you say this?

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Whats make us think this? (the gomez bit?)

    3. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Big problems for a lot of people with Gomez and Benteke.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Heard Sturridge training again. Can they both play together? I doubt it but thats a guess. (no horse in this race)

        1. Breadbin
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Bibb theory has Benteke and Gomez both missing training. Moreno and Ings in.

          1. Joggers Nipple
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            ah ok

          2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            So my -4 for him isn't looking good?

            1. Breadbin
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 8 months ago

              Looking very bad I'm afraid.

      2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Why Benteke?

    4. AA
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I would love for this to happen. Can't stand the Gomez bandwagon.

      1. kalmoffit
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I'd like it to happen. Pretty certain it won't.

    5. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      The "theory" in bib theory is not like a Scientific "theory" which is actually fact. it's more like the "theory" in the books of Scientology

      1. Breadbin
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        It's good enough for me.

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          😉 ... oh definitely! i'm a big fan of Scientolody and its ReadINGS.. Ings confirmed starting!!

          1. Jøssy ⭐
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            He's trolling! Benteke's a banker!! Gomez, could be rotated, but I'm not expecting it.

            1. Valar(Keith)
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 8 months ago

              I know mate! I was there yesterday when the trolling began with Breadbin and WoeIsMe.. infact i helped the trolling yesterday 😆

              1. Jøssy ⭐
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 8 months ago

                Hahaha! Honestly... Between people who don't know what they're doing on here, and people who do but want to misdirect their opponents, I'm not sure how helpful this forum is 😆

    6. InRafaWeTrust
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Players in what looks like starting bibs in training:

      Clyne Skrtel Lovren Moreno, Lucas Can Milner, Firmino Coutinho Benteke

    8 years, 8 months ago

    Just logged in and read the previous comments,so let me add to the cpt debate about Kun.I know that stats and what happened in the past,a lot of times don’t mean a thing,but i find it interesting that during his EPL career,whenever MC scores 4 or more goals,Kun usually scores 1 or 2.Only once scored 3 and once 4.
    His percentage in 21 matches with MC scoring more than 4 is:
    11 with 1 (52.38%)
    8 with 2 (38.09%)
    1 with 3 (4.76 %)
    1 with 4 (4.76%

    1. Mrd2410
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Nice one...Any chance you can do a Sanchez one?
      Thanks

      1. Azathoth
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Alexis last year had 8x1 and 4x2.Do you want to look his stats in Barca and Udinese?

        1. Mrd2410
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          No this great thanks alot

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years

      I'll happily accept a brace for the armband

      1. Azathoth
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Me too,no doubt.

  9. Mrd2410
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Please can someone convince me why i should take the armband off Sanchez for Aguero?

    1. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      It's your team, choose Sanchez because that's what you've decided.

      1. Mrd2410
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I also decided to have 3 pies for dinner last night...Doesn't mean it was a good idea

    2. Pickled and Preserved
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I don't have Sanchez, and I'm still debating giving someone else the armband

  10. Breadbin
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Jeremy Peace - Won't sell Berahino because there's no time to find a replacement. I count 4 other strikers on the books. More money wanted or he really means it?

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      With Rondon and Lambert coming in(coupled with Pulis's aversion towards flair) i'd say it's all about more money

      1. Breadbin
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Daniel Levy being who he is, is not be surprised if he called their bluff and didn't bother pursuing this. Jeremy Peace left with an unhappy player and too many strikers.

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Can definitely see this happening... LVG may turn his ugly head towards West Brom too on Desperation Day.. oops Deadline day

          1. Breadbin
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            He'll either get far too much money for him or he'll stay. I think someone will pay the silly money.

  11. Jönny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Given Walcott's record against Newcastle, which is pretty great from memory, and the fact that he's not had a start yet - and nobody has scored less goals than Arsenal in the league so far - I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him start at the weekend.

    1. King Huth
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      thts home game

    2. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      See Giroud's record against Newcastle.

    3. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      he may not.. Giroud scored 8 goals in 6 games against Newcastle.. 2 away last season.. good record..

      1. Jönny
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Wow, impressive!

        Doubt he will, but Wenger should drop Ramsey IMO. Or move him back to CM and give Caz a game off. They've been so lacking in width, Walcott would at least stretch the game a bit.

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Caz & Coq are good options in double pivot and Wenger trusts them.. Ramsey scored a non-offside goal last week and may not be dropped.. Walcott to warm the bench again..

    4. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe. Heard Rooney was great vs Villa and Newcastle so keeping of the records thing for a while!

    5. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He'll start this week for sure, if not then definitely the next game. Repeat forever.

    6. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'd be very surprised to see him start.

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        same with Walcott.. he will be surprised to even come off the bench.. poor guy!

        1. Jönny
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          At least he's got his new contract to keep him warm. They're shelling out a LOT of money, seemingly just so that he's not playing for anyone else!

    7. Azathoth
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Walcott has scored 4 vs New.1 at the famous 4-4 and 3 at 7-3.

      1. Jönny
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I guess the 7-3 stuck in my mind!

          8 years, 8 months ago

          I think he means the "Sturridge nearing fitness" (lol) casting some doubt on Benteke's minutes (I don't see an effect bar maybe a few earlier subs personally)

          1. Dr Dream
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Nah....They'll play together. No different to Suarez and Sturridge playing in the same team.

            1. Billy Gilmore
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 8 months ago

              Agreed

      2. Zweeps
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Is Sturridge coming back already?

    3. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      B comfortably.

    4. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO

      I go with B too.

    6. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      B

    7. Zweeps
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers all! Will mull over the decision

    Thoughts on my team. Thanks. Used ft = Sakho to Diouf. 1.5itb.

    Butland
    Kolorov, Gomez, Richards
    Sanchez, Silva, Ayew, Mahrez
    Aguero (c), Gomis, Diouf

    McCarthy. Westwood, Williams, Shaw

    Double Swansea attack is my only worry but I expect all out attack from Swansea so it could work out.

    1. Pickled and Preserved
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      standard. Will do better than my team 😉

  15. Tomeister
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Courtois or butland? Chelsea's defence hasn't really clicked yet, and palace are better than brom, but I feel wrong bringing a premium keeper.

    Thoughts?

    1. King Huth
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      if u spend tht much on a keeper and won't play him every wk... then just downgrade him

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      start Courtois!

  16. Sjaugen
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Everyone recommending Diouf/Wilson. I'm going Vardy.
    The BOU LEI match is gonna be a nerve wrecker

    1. King Huth
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      bored draw carded

    2. Sjaugen
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      6 matches at the same time tomorrow. They aren't going to show this where I live.

    3. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      and so we have Mehrez.. get Diouf..

    UFPL question ahoy.

    Am I absolutely insane to consider Ricky van Wolfswinkel?

    Pros:

    1) Might get gametime now Grabban's suspended.
    2) Jerome hasn't exactly been convincing so far.
    3) Norwich's record signing so may get another chance on that basis.
    4) Scored in the League Cup in midweek.
    5) Norwich keep failing to sign another striker.
    6) Only 5.0m so frees up funds for elsewhere.

    Cons:

    1) History.
    2) Ability.

    1. pompeyfan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'd love to see him get another chance but you can't be bringing him into your FPL team yet!

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Why would you go for him over someone like Ighalo?

      1. invertebrate
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Because I'm a maverick. Also, it gives me a much needed matchday 2 player this week.

  18. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Gomis and Depay
    To
    Costa and Coutinho
    (No other attacking cover)

    Worth a -4?

    1. Pickled and Preserved
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Very tempting that..

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Don't like Coutinho but I really like Costa. Probably wouldn't though.

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Ok, how about Pedro and Benteke instead?

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Yeap, I like that.

  19. Mikey44
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Pedro or Hazard?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Pedro has had one alright game, I'd wait. Lucky deflect shot and a top class assist. Remember Haz on pens too.

    2. AleksanderVN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      If Pedro scores vs Palace his price will be 9,8 over the break. And Hazards price might drop.
      I would go Pedro.

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Pedro and 2.5

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        *1.5

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          *2 actually

          1. HuttonDressedasLahm
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            😆

    4. Wingate
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Great question.

      Pedro in form and cheaper... Hazard WILL explode soon.

      Tempted by Depay to Pedro but know I will be jealous of Haz soon...

      1. Taffer
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Hazard doesn't explode - didn't even score a brace last year.

      2. Mikey44
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        In the exact same position, can afford to do Depay out for Hazard but I think Pedro is offering more value for money right now and Hazard isn't getting returns of an 11.5 mil player yet, but could easily get burned against Palace tomorrow..tricky one

  20. AleksanderVN
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Who do we think will drop out when Shawcross is back?

    Muniesa or Cameron?

    1. The Brit.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Cameron will drop out.
      Will then rival Johnson for RB and can also play CDM too.
      Perfect utility defender.

      1. AleksanderVN
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        This makes Muniesa the best pick.
        I guess there are a reason hi top 5 on the Watchlist.

    2. Jönny
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Ha, timing...

      1. AleksanderVN
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Nice. I think we should go Muniesa.

  21. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Mane to Yaya -4 or hope that Mane plays?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      You should have 3xCity. I'd do it.

    2. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Do it

  22. Tomeister
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else benching Man U defenders this week?

    1. Fader
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I have Darmian + Richards but I'm picking Darmian as he can assist and has bonus pts normally

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Most, but for ManU fans.

    3. Louis99
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Nope, but I'm playing ayew

    4. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Possibly playing Shaw over Targett

    5. Sjaugen
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      YUP

  23. Jönny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Who is the Stoke 4.5 defender of choice? Cameron or Muniesa?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Muniesa although I wouldn't really want a Stoke defender.

      1. Jönny
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Fixtures are great, otherwise I'd agree. I miss the Pulis days...

        1. Jönny
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Stoke fans may disagree.

    2. The Brit.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Maaaaarc Muniesa, he plays for City with Bojan and Moha do dooooo do.

  24. Lucy.
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Hmm so it turns out, after having a few too many drinks watching Saints' diabolical performance (and a few more after), I made my debated Payet -> Coutinho move, despite intending to wait for pressers. I hope I don't get burnt. There should be some kind of drunk test for logging onto FPL.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Everybody who does drunk transfers ends up with Coutinho....it's the rule.

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Coutinho not rising and Payet not dropping......why the rush? Not a big fan of Coutinho I'm afraid as an FPL option but best of luck.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        There was no rush, I know. Hence this post.

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Good fixtures so could work out!

    3. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      captcha would do.. I see 0-0 written all over it.. good luck with the transfer 🙂

    4. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Agree, last year i got annoyed and drunk transferred out someone for Barkley. Removed him for a hit 4 days later. T

    5. pompeyfan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      nice. I'm in favour of drunk transfers, it helps you do what you had been looking to do anyway. Sometimes I will even consciously do this! 🙂

  25. Snibal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    This has probably been asked before but I wasn't able to read it back. What price will DeBruyne come in and will you be interested? Personally I think I would get him in if he were 9.5m max.

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      9.5 and I'd definitely wait given how Silva and Yaya are performing anyway.

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Buying players in the arrivals lounge is a serious mistake, IMO.

  26. James LeBron
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on my WC team?

    Ruddy - (Rudd)
    Kolorav - Shaw - Gomez (Richards - Steven Taylor)
    Sanchez - Silva - Pedro - Mahrez - (Westwood)
    Aguero - Gomis - Wilson

    With 0.1 in the bank, any improvements that need to be made?

    1. Wingate
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Like it.

    2. DVassell
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I pretty much have this team expect for Ruddy, Richards, Staylor and Westood.

      Instead I have Courtois, Ward, Francis and Surman.

      I prefer mine 😉

  27. SouthCoastSaint
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I understand that a team playing poorly won't necessarily mean 0 fantasy returns buy anyone with Saints players should be planning exit routes.

    I own Targett and he has been appalling this season. Pelle isn't going to get the service this year. The only player worth having is Cedric and I think even he is over priced at 5.0.

    If Mane and Wanyama stay we will be ok but I fear a long season ahead for us. As gutting as last night was (scuppering my weekend European breaks) it may just ensure we are a premier league team for another season

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Blessing in disguise that you've been knocked out.

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yeh I think so but what's the point in striving for European football.

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          That's actually an interesting discussion in its own right especially if you look at the West Ham example too. PL 'strongest league in the world' but compare with what other teams do in the EL like Sevilla, Atletico in the past, etc.

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I have Pelle and Cedric and Pelle will certainly be gone for me next week. Although that was always the plan so nothing much has changed.

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I will be back to SOT later this season im sure but they have that diseased dog thing going on at the moment, cross the road and keep away even if you pity them

  28. Business Dog

    8 years, 8 months ago

    Who's your differential for this week?

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Shelvey.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        🙁 .. i'm benching the legend that is jonjo this week

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Gotta have him week in week out. He'll be a slow burner like Henderson for the past two seasons.

          1. Valar(Keith)
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            He's back to being a starter next week.. just giving him a week off. got a healthy 4.5 ppg last 2 games and long may it continue

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Shaqiri, Sanchez(?) and Pedro(?)

    3. The Brit.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Xherdan

    4. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Darmian

    5. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Kolarov, Alexis, Wilson all have < 15% ownership so them I guess.

    6. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Another good pick might be Mitrovic. Arsenal looked a shambles at times without their CB's...mainly Chambers.
