Maybe I underestimated Granville. Maybe his throwaway comment made at 10.32 on a weary Wednesday evening wasn’t throwaway at all. Maybe Granville is a Fantasy football mind games genius.

Regardless of whether his plan was pre-meditated and devious, it certainly worked as you’ll find out in this, episode ninety of the ScoutCast.

Aside from my sidekick’s scheming, we give dear old Leighton another rinse following his twanged hamstring, tackle the template midfield yet again, check on the market movements in “all aboard” and, of course, look forward to the weekend action. We also start spending points on the ScoutCast team: it’s the slippery slope. Where’s Granville’s genius when you need it?

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

    Would like Suarez of course, but not shipping RVP and also have Berb and Ba. However, I have Saylor and Baines so thinking Enrique instead and leave Suarez two gameweeks.

    Suarez could score obviously but Ba is at home to Wigan and looked OK at Stoke. Berb at home to a Spurs defence that could easily have conceded four or five.

    I have Sterling so thinking I should just bite it and hope he doesn't get a brace, but 'Pool win.. Is my thought process correct?!

      If i understand you correctly, you plan to fund Suarez by selling Baines/Saylor later?

      Unless you want to avoid hits, why wouldnt you sell a player who is not playing this week (read: Baines) for a player who will rip SOTON apart (Read: Suarez) NOW???!??

      Im just saying that cos I i kept baines 😛

        I think with Suarez's form, his fixtures and SOT at home this week (as good if not a better fixture than WIG) he will score much better short and long term.

        Ba is out of form (despite assist), playing wide not striker and doesn't have the fixtures, playing in a team playing horribly.

    Apart from having to take a points hit to avoid losing value, I'm quite happy that Baines and Sagna are injury doubts. Less owners and pain in the short term, but more of a differential when the points roll in.

    Of course, assuming neither are out for more than a couple of weeks. Worth getting rid if so.

    Anyone think a player is less likely to score well when 'everyone' owns them? Clearly not based on rational thought, but I think this way 🙂

    Come on guys, am having to re-post!

    Would you captain Rooney away to Reading, or Suarez home to Southampton?

    Rooney +ive
    - On pens
    - Likely to start after being withdrawn on 77 mins vs West Ham

    Suarez +ive
    - Most attempts on goal (and on target) of any player in the past 6 GWs
    - If Liverpool score, he’s likely to be involved.

    Am concerned that Southampton’s form has picked up, and United probably has the greater potential to score more goals. Suarez has to create his own chances, typically.

    Any persuasive arguments?

      Saying that Suarez will probably be in the goals.

    Do you think Hernandez is a better FPL prospect than Michu?

      Cheaper, less ownership.

      Kinda regret getting Ramirez instead of him in.

      Because of his price yes but Michu will outscore him to the end of the season

    Demel + Mata ---> Walcott + Nastasic for -4?

    What we think, do want to the defensive move for sure as my defence is pants and I am not bothered about getting another DGWer. I have Shorey and may add Mingolet or no bother.
