There’s very little fizzing away within Granville’s Fantasy lineup right now but, while the Mancunian can justifiable lament his stagnant squad, I’m having to console myself with the smallest of victories – namely a sniveling 9-point Gameweek victory. Get some perspective, Granville.

That’s not the reasoning behind this weeks moniker, however, as once again it’s the questions from the community that inspires the title of another ScoutCast episode. Rounding off with the usual interrogation from you, the listener, we start by dropping in on the regulars, whilst reviewing the ins and outs of the transfer window and touching on the Carroll’s flailing arm and Chelsea’s shackling of City.

Make Your Mind up via this link or get a Piece of the Action* via the handy player below.

*Admittedly I had to look this one up. Not even my knowledge of awful 80’s pop could stretch that far.

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

    Mata (FUL), Hazard (NEW), Eriksen (EVE), Cazorla (liv)

    Suarez (ARS), Benteke (WHU), Bony (CAR)

    Can I get away with saving a FT? Could well come in useful next week, for a bit of a rearrangement of funds.

      Yeah, kos likely won't keep a cleanie, and with no Chelsea defender you may be starting the week 4 points back but other than that you like fine and it could save a four point hit in the future.

    He isn't in terrible form. A blank against Fulham at home sometimes happens and West Ham are tight at the back. He's playing a leaky Cardiff defence at home where he scores his goals. Should be bang up for the derby. If he's limp, drop him them. I'd drop one of Punch or AJ. AJ probably. Just my thoughts.
