The ScoutCast – Episode 231 – Eavesdrop

This is a very strange experience.

Denied the opportunity to host this week’s ScoutCast by BT’s shortcomings and with the Wildcard active, I am forced to join you and eavesdrop while my decision-making is torn apart by Andy, Jonty, Az and Luke. I have to admit, it’s pretty tortuous.

It’s like my hands are firmly fastened to the couch while the quartet lapdance* their critique around me. How I want to get “involved”.

Aside from appraising my “ill-timed” Wildcard, the boys tackle your other community questions.

They consider the Liverpool double-up, question whether midfield coverage can replace either Kane and Lukaku, debate whether Alonso is essential and then look at how fixtures can shape cheap defensive acquisitions.

I’m pretty sure they answer them all exactly as I would. In fact, listening back, they appear to justify my Wildcard for me. I can hardly wait for next week.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

    Big thanks to the guys for going ahead while I was nursing my connection. Andy hosted brilliantly I thought and they weren't too harsh on me.

      Nursing my connection - is that a euphemism?

      1. Fantasy Gold

        😆

      Hey Mark

      How's the wildcard coming along? Pretty settled or still chopping and changing?

      The ScoutCast was still good but it felt too fragmented without you 🙂

      Andy was great.

        He always is #TeamAndy

        Yeah no doubt about it, Andy is a great guy, he did a good job.

        I just feel like it flows better/chemistry is better when Mark is on it.

        I just wish Granville would make more appearances for the bants

          Yup, Mark is a much better host, it's much harder than it looks, he makes it look easy

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            You did a great job Andy, especially for your first attempt

    4. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Andy done great and all the lads chipped in! Hope the WC coming along well.. Can imagine the stress levels 🙂

      "Only connect" - E. M. Forster, Howard's End. 😉

      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah. It must have been tough for Andy - hosting a show about the Wildcard of someone who wasn't there. But he did a great job. He's really come on leaps and bounds with all his streaming practice.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        You sound like a proud father

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I feel my ribbing has helped him become the FPL pundit he now is.

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            So modest 😆

    7. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      It seemed more chilled without you, Mark 😉 Andy did a great job filling in.

      Probably needs a few more differing opinions to spice things up.

    8. ScotDougie
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not the same without mark hosting not taking away from the job andy did

    9. The Son Haz got Atsu on
      • 6 Years

      let's be honest it's mind numbingly dull without Mark and Granny, just 3 blokes agreeing with each other, dunno bout jonty coz I mute it whenever he's talking

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Don't think we have ever spoken but I love your bluntness and honesty... for me the scoutcast died when it stopped being just Mark and Granville.. getting rid of the opening theme tune and moving to YouTube videos was bad enough but Jonty's drivel being added was the last straw for me... (honestly no offence intended, just the way I feel as do many others it seems) I won't comment on the others as I would not wish to offend them but think you have laid it out pretty clearly..

        1. ponsio22
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I thought the guys did okay. I would much rather have a scoutcast available then nothing at all if Mark is not involved. but it definitely didn't flow well at all.

          I'm a big Jonty & Andy fan tho, i enjoy listening to both of them.

          I really don't enjoy watching Luke however, he sits in a small dark room and is quite uncomfortable on camera. Nothing personal but it is a hard watch when Luke is on.

          1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            I used to enjoy watching stoner on there when I watched it... Jonty bores me to death.. I would rather get kicked in the nuts than listen to his highness.. nothing against spudgun he seems alright

  2. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Surely Lacazette will start this week?

    1. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, 99% in my book. Wenger will be fried if he benches him and they struggle.

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        He in your team? 😉

        1. Mark
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I am really thinking about it - the issue is that it books the transfer to Kane for GW5 but, feasibly, Kane could blank and drop again and I do fancy Laca points vs BOU.

    2. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He should. And don't call me Shirley

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wenger loves Welbeck even though he can't finish his dinner.

      United getting £16m for him was a masterstroke

    4. Mavric Marco
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He better, he's my captain

    5. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Who knows. Wenger losing the plot and doing some very strange things. It's like his mind is turning into a ball of shite. Impossible to predict people like this

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Why is Ramsey not getting mentioned anymore? Strikes me he's as likely to bag a goal as Laca or Ozil. Thoughts?

  3. Lukanio
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Dears,

    Can you please choose a group of these, A or B

    A) Jesus + D.Silva + Forster

    B) Rooney + Mane + Courtois

    ???

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      A

  4. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Stones + Aguero to Alonso and Morata -4 worth it?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      They look like great moves to me.

      Go for it.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Nice one appreciate it.

  5. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I asked earlier but different crowd so I'll ask again.

    A) Brady and Firmino

    B) Pogba and Abraham

    Thanks 🙂

    1. BucketHead
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'd say a

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Prefer A- Abraham will face competition from Bony soon.

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      A, by a stretch really.

    4. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      A for me

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Thank you all 🙂

    5. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      See? And your mistrust hurts. 😉

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Haha I wasn't doubting you Doos, I was already favouring A.

        Just wanted to make sure 😉

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          😀

    6. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      a

    7. GHB
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      A by a long way

  6. BucketHead
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Any love for Holegate and Calvert-lewin?? Or Abraham a better pick

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      They both feel way too risky to me, especially with Siggy coming into the mix as well.

      Abraham is a decent option

    2. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      All sound risky to me.. Maybe reassess options!

    3. Mavric Marco
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Holgate yeah, after GW5

  7. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    In a week where captain options look limited, a Kompany-less City make me want to have a go with Salah/Firmino (c). Thankfully have 2 nights to sleep on it.

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not guaranteed to miss out yet, no?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Not yet no. Presser tomorrow. Hasn't trained.

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          If he does miss out then I'd be most tempted by Firmino (c)

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            If the game wasn't early KO, I'd definitely do it. The last thing I want is to have an early blank with Lukaku to play.

            1. Fantasy Gold
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              True

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I am thinking of KDB to Mane

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        That move is a no brainer mate. Do it.

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          ty

    3. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ive just brought in Salah and have Firmino.. Going to go Lukaku though I think..

    4. Tomcooper9
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Also tempted

  8. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years

    Vincent Kompany did not train on Thursday and is a major doubt for City vs. Liverpool with his 15th calf injury in five years. [Daily Mail]

    1. 32chickens
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Pep you silly silly boy

    2. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nice.. And no Johnny Evans as backup..

    3. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He really milks these calf injuries

    4. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      15 in 5 years?

      Wow

  9. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Willian to Pogba for a hit tonight?

    1. Tomcooper9
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't for a hit, would wait til next week.

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        My midfield is shite though

        Mane - Willian - Ramsey - Ritchie - Carroll

    2. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ive changed him to Salah

  10. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Foster
    Bertrand Davies Jones Mee
    Mané Willian Tadic
    Kane(C) Lukaku Jesus

    Elliot RLC Carroll Long; 0.4ITB & 1FT

    Midfield is a shambles.....
    A) Save FT
    B) Willian -> Brady
    C) Willian, Jesus -> Pogba, Chicarito (-4)

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Can you afford Willian + Jesus to Eriksen + Firmino?

      1. Steevo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Nope - unfortunately only Firmino + 9.2, so either a MUN mid or triple up with Salah...

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Firmino + Mkhitaryan looks good.

    2. Steevo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      C should be RLC, Jesus -> Pogba, Chicarito

  11. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Any rises or falls expected of note tonight?

    1. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Salah potentially going up.. Brought him in just incase!

  12. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Looks like Mesa could become the first 4.4 midfielder soon, any one punting on him on WC?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      There's 9, all non-starters, he got the Utd game but missed the other 2. Nah, might take a chance on Yedlin's 4.4 though

  13. Tomcooper9
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team:

    Foster (Elliot)
    Alonso Davies Cedric Naughton (Mee)
    Miki Salah Mooy (Atsu, Carroll)
    Firming Lukaku Kane

    1. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Id go Brady over Mooy.. Serious ATK and DEF

      1. Tomcooper9
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks, yeah light midfield concerns me a bit but i want alonso and even if I downgrade Davies and look to upgrade Mooy only gets me about 7.5m and nobody too interesting at that price.

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty good. I'd have Fabianski over Foster.

      1. Tomcooper9
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks

    3. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Mooy has two World Cup playoff games 5th and 10th October then a further two games if they get past Syria.

  14. Hobolicious
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I will try one last time before I am off to bed!

    On a WC btw.

    A) Chicharito, Ritchie, Eriksen, Jones, max 4.6m defender

    OR

    B) Abraham, Mkhitaryan, Alli, 2 x 4.5m defenders

  15. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I'm strongly considering getting Sanchez (C) in with my 2 FTs.

    Madness?

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Are you still playing the 16/17 version?

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yes madness

      2. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        😆

        Hibbert has a point.

        Sanchez is just coming off the back of a draining 1-0 loss vs Bolivia and he played 90 mins.

        Doesnt feel like the right time

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Or you could argue he is getting match fit ....

      3. GHB
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Haha

    2. Tomcooper9
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ballsy but not madness. Great player with potential to get big points. Just quite a gamble with arsenals form. I'm tempted by lacazette for captain this week then switch to Kane next week.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Arsenal's form is not that bad, stats wise.

        1. Tomcooper9
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Fair point, as a fan I hope things do get better though as we looked beyond awful against Liverpool.

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Arsenal always play badly against Liverpool. Doesn't mean much. 24 goal attempts in Arsenals only home game this season.

            1. Tomcooper9
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              My temptation to gamble with lacazette captain this week grows stronger...

              1. FPL Virgin
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 7 months ago

                Bournemouth have the worst defence in the league and everyone is overlooking Arsenal. The gamble could pay off.

      2. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Why is Sanchez a risk with Arsenals' form but Lacazette not?

        1. Tomcooper9
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Both are a risk. Lacazette should play as the striker though and possibly on pens. Of course all a bit unknown how they will play together. Lacazette also at full fitness and hasn't had the transfer saga.

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not madness but trying to be too clever at a point where you don't need to be.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I've got a soft spot for Sanchez. Like to get him in early.

    4. bojack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Who are you losing?

      I was thinking about this in the bath earlier.

      Sánchez has Chelsea in GW5 so even if he gans mad against Eddie Howe you've got 2FT to bring him in before GW6 (in my case as I haven't saved a FT).

      Unnecessary to bring him in now.

        It would be Jesus. Good point, though.

        1. bojack
          • 7 Years

          I like Jesus' chances this week.

            Hmmm. I know. I've had two weeks to decide what to do and I'm still uncertain.

      Just get Lacazette and (c) 🙂

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Nah. Lacazette doesn't get my juices flowing.

        1. bojack
          • 7 Years

          He's got a wonderful smile.

    Where is my mate Virg? Did he come up against Mark's ban hammer? 🙁

    1. Hooky

      Is that another euphemism?

        He wasn't around for hours, I started to get worried!

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          I was lurking in the members area, bathing myself in stats.

  17. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years

    How do you see my team for gw4?

    Foster

    Naughton, Jones, Cedric

    Eriksen, Pogba, Eriksen, Hazard(c)

    Lukaku, Chicha, Firmino

    1. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Serious team.. Change captain though!

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Wouldn't double up on Eriksen.

    @Berb

    Any leaked Lfc team news? TAA going to start?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I think Gomez will get the nod

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Hope not 😕

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      None.

      I assume he will, but he might be needed to break down Burnley from wide areas. Can't see him playing 3 in a week so he'll miss 1 somewhere.

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. In your opinion is he first choice a head of Gomez?

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah. But it's round pegs in round holes. Some games suit Gomez, some TAA. I'd just avoid.

          1. Mavric Marco
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Ok thanks. Contemplating a -4 to Naughton

    Anyone want any questions answered????

    Drop em below and ill come back to you..

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Is it illegal to kill an ant?

      1. SuperMario
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        It's not illegal, but I can't imagine why you'd go out of your way to kill an ant. Seems a bit weird and deliberately malicious. It's not illegal, but alot of people believe every insect and animal on this earth is sacred, except for the ones killing others . lol

    2. Champione
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      - Rotation risk around CL games, Salah vs Mane
      - captain Liverpool attacker if Kompany misses out?

      1. SuperMario
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        1. Feel rotation may happen but its a coin toss with those options. I've brought in Salah tonight for Willian as he looks so good and could grab more bonus.
        2. Considered it but with Salah and Firmino i am happy to own both and will captain Lukaku as he will most likely be the most captained and has a solid chance of points.

        1. Champione
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Cheers. Probably captaining Lukaku myself

          1. SuperMario
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            No worries. Just feel its so early in the season so risks arent required (yet)

    3. bojack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Has it been all down hill for Mario since the goal he's depicted celebrating in your grav?

      1. SuperMario
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Lol, it has been for a while. To be fair he done well last season!!

    Been a member of this site for the past 2/3 years and was planning on signing up again this week.....cash point swallowed my card for no apparent reason so now have to wait for my new one 🙁

    And in the week where I need to decide between one of Mane, Salah, Eriksen and Alli, couldn't be worse timing

    1. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Eriksen or Salah 😉

    2. bojack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Match of the Day trumps stats 😉

      Mané and Eriksen for me.

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      Can't you pay with some pieces of silver?
      Or does ffs not accept blood money?

  23. BrutalLogiC
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    is the list of top 1000 or more managers from last season kept anywhere?

  24. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I still have Willian and Danilo, who's more pressing to get rid?

    I will waitbuntil next week though as used this week.

    1. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Literally just done both to --> Naughton & Salah

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Great choice.

  25. ABCDEFC

    0.8m ITB 2FT
    Forster (Elliott)
    Yoshida / Stones / Hegazi (Dummett, Long)
    Salah / De Bruyne / Carroll / Ritchie (Ward-Prowse)
    Kane(C) / Jesus / Firmino

    A) Stones, JWP, KDB >>> Jones, Pogba, Mkhi
    B) Stones, Dummett, KDB >>> Jones, Alonso, Mkhi
    Any other ideas?

    1. GetSchwifty
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      B)
      I've sold Hegazi too to capitalise on .2 profit. He could face rotation soon

    2. My Longest Yeah Boy Ever
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Alonso, Man U's upcoming fixtures are considerably more difficult, so Pogba may cool off.

  26. GetSchwifty
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Foster, (Elliot)
    Jones, Alonso, Cedric, (Schindler, Naughton)
    Pogba, Salah, Richarlison, Brady, (Carroll)
    Kane, Lukaku (c), Firmino

    Not asking for advice, just wanted to show off how sick my team is

    Final decision guys need help,which WC would you pick?
    A)
    Eliot/Krul
    Alonso/Davies/Jones/Naugton/Mee
    Pogba/Miki/Mane/4.5/4.5
    Kane/Morata/Firmino
    B)
    Eliot/Krul
    Alonso/Davies/Jones/Naugton/4.0***
    Pogba/Miki/Mane/Alli***/4.5
    Kane/Abraham***/Firmino

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Prefer Alli to Morata, but Elliot Krul is a recipe for :scream:

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah i like Alli too,Morata(C)option and squad depth is advantage in other team.
        Going to risk it with GKs.

    2. That Fantasy Guy
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I think i like B but could also do Davies to 4.5 and get Chicarito instead of Abraham - not saying to do that, just saying another option to think about

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        No money for that 0.4 short.

  29. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Hating my team a little but can't justify a WC 🙁
    Any objections (or better suggestions) to KDB > Mané(c)(-4) this week, then Pogba > Eriksen next week? Cheers 🙂

    Foster (Myhill)
    Davies Bertrand Jones (Aké Long)
    KDB Pogba Mooy Carroll (Romeu)
    Kane Lukaku Firmino

    1. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Mooy has two World Cup playoff games 5th and 10th October then a further two games if they get past Syria.

  30. That Fantasy Guy
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Team of heavy hitters...
    Foster
    Alonso - Naughton - Mee - Jones
    Alexis Sanchez - Salah - Atsu
    Lukaku - Chicarito - Kane
    Elliot - Carroll - RLC +0.2itb
    Very tempting!
