With cheque books fluttering on the eve of the transfer window slamming shut, our Fantasy seasons could be transformed by some notable new arrivals. In this week’s ScoutCast episode, Granville and I chew over the latest fresh faces to crash the player list – United’s “Angel” Di Maria and Liverpool’s “Devil” Balotelli.

With just a single point between us and the comfort of top 100k placings, my co-host and I are more than just a little content as we the rule over the current bandwagons and preview another weekend’s action. It won’t last.

Bed yourself in via this link, or get acclimatised via the handy player below…

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

    Did my 2 FTs to get in silva and jovetic. Now chester on the bench and marney a doubt. Have to take a hit and get costa out.....best replacements?
    a. ade
    b. bony
    c. remy
    d. pelle

    1. BeardedOldMan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Possibly a. But can you wait for more definitive news on costa?

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I could. But with chester benched, marney a doubt and chambers and jones not nailed I might not have a choice. Costa will miss at least this gw for sure, so seriously considering ade

        1. dribbler
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          jones should play...marney might play...costa might play

          1. SpaceCadet
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            costa no chance......jones chambers marney doubts

    2. In Like Flynn.

  2. @FuzzyWarbles
    • 15 Years

    No price changes overnight? Could it still occur?

    1. dribbler
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      chadli went up

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      FPL Towers sportingly giving us something to moan about for the whole season. 🙂

    2. Grumpy Camel
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      bego to krul to save some cash, then you can do Costa to anyone depending on news.
      If you are happy with Bego you could do chambers to Hutton/Wisdom

      1. GarethJohn
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        do you reckon chambers is going to keep his spot ?

  4. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    This time next week, everyone will have:

    Ramsey - Fabregas - Sterling - Siggy, so it becomes an elevan man game.

    1. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I Had Them from the beginning So Follow me please.

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Silva instead of Cesc

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah or maybe

        Ramsey - Fabregas - Silva - Sterling - Siggy 😯

        And then Ade - Costa - Rooney 😮

          • Has Moderation Rights

    3. Holmes

    4. Captain Peacock

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Do you think the England captaincy will do the trick?

    7. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I put it into Predictor as 0-3 and can't change it. So Mata and Rooney and company better buck their ideas up.

    8. dinamika

      The last three meeting at Burnley

      Burnley 1-0

    1. Kante Me If You Can
      • 11 Years

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Nobody knows. Press conferences today might help us.

      1. bennyp
        • 11 Years

        hopefully!

  8. Kante Me If You Can

              11 years, 3 months ago

              The man, the myth, the legend, Siggy. I was trying before and it turned out that I had to rate the grav as 'G' 😛

          2. Grumpy Camel
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            hi, nice time to actually get an opinion on RMTs

              11 years, 3 months ago

              You are fine, no need to WC.
              I would be looking at chambers to Colo and Costa to Ade, saves you plenty of cash and neither are urgent as your bench are playing.

            2. Saniul
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Play Hutton ahead of Chambers? Won't probably start, and maybe a 1-point cameo is on the cards.

          4. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 12 Years

            Morning DZ.

                Hey Moin, still sticking with Wickham and Rivière?

              Secrecy.

          5. Saniul
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Hello, all.
            Been on and off since the season started. A little busy, I have been.

            How are you all?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              All good man. How was your start?

              1. Saniul
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                Not too good. Austin was such a fail, missed out on Sigurdsson. Around 150k atm.
                You?

          6. La Roja
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Ok this is me then

            Krul 4.0

            JT Clyne Hutton

            Rambo Siggy Hazard Tadic 4.5

            Bony (c) Rooney Costa

            1. La Roja
              • 13 Years

              PVA and Chester other defenders

            2. Grumpy Camel
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              missing a couple of players but looks pretty standard and will hence score pretty well

          7. HUMZAH96
              11 years, 3 months ago

              This was mentioned earlier but you may not have seen it

              Costa may miss Everton as a pre-caution [Mirror]

              http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chelsea-striker-diego-costa-miss-4124060

              Though Zep excellently pointed out that there were no real facts or quotes and this is just someones guess

              1. Saniul
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                This Costa thing is getting awkward.
                When is Mou's press conference?

                1. Holmes
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  1. HUMZAH96
                      11 years, 3 months ago

                      All this will come to an end... I think he'll play the first 65 mins

                  • 16 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  also the daily mirror is the worst possible source of info

                  1. HUMZAH96
                      11 years, 3 months ago

                      All news outlets are as bad as each other (except SkySports)

                      1. dribbler
                        • 16 Years
                        11 years, 3 months ago

                        no way

                  2. Zep
                    • 15 Years
                    11 years, 3 months ago

                    Which in turn was just my opinion... 😉

                    1. HUMZAH96
                        11 years, 3 months ago

                        Was a fact actually 😛

                    Thinking of getting a cheap Crystal Palace striker for the bench.
                    Chamakh ,Campbell or Gayle ?

                      Hey guys was curious which young players are the future team of the club you support?

                      For me as an everton fan it has to be:

                      ----------------------Stanek--------------------

                      Coleman---Stones--Galloway---Garbutt

                      ---------------McCarthy---Besic--------------

                      Henen* --------------------------------Oviedo

                      ---------------------Barkley---------------------

                      ---------------------Lukaku---------------------

                      * Henen isnt yet an everton player but is set to sign.

                      so what is your clubs future team/talents?

                          Baker
                          Ake
                          Christensen
                          Van Ginkel
                          Hazard
                          Courtois
                          Azpi

                            --------------------------Sanogo-------------------------

                            Well, I still think Sanogo has a lot of raw talent, and is bound to succeed. Just that he has been introduced to the first team way too early.

                            And I absolutely love the defence. Set to be our first-choice at one time in the future. Add Jenkinson to the mix.

                              not bad mate, some good young players for alot of clubs

                                Yeah, always will depend on how they are bred, and how much they are around the first team.

                                Out of these, I expect Bellerin, Chambers, Gibbs, Wilshere, Gnabry and Campbell around the first team. Ideally Sanogo needed a loan, but probably won't get the deal because of Giroud's injury.

                                  it really depends on the manager whether players reach their potential, its the amount of loans they get, game time and positive influence. Im sure martinez would take sanogo on a loan haha

                            I would play Ings before PvA

                              I reckon PvA could get a cleanie against Qpr. Im waitinng a 0-0 in that match

                              However, i might play Ings if Costa doesnt play.

                                After last weeks debacle at the lane i am backing QPR to score and as its just as likely to be Caulker he may undo your PvA clean. Just my thoughts however.

                          Weimann,Agbonlahor or Carlton Cole - who will get more points this week?

                            all will get 2 points...although Cole's chance of getting better points are higher..

                            Weimann.

                          So despite the Injury..Aguero is a no go?

                          Becuase City has got the group of death so they might want him fit before the Champions League match...I'm concerned about Silva as well..

                            People try to play the best XI in both the PL and the CL.

                            This is a very good point, Such a hard group means Aguero will prob need to start every Champ L game.

                                Why are people so interested in the Chelsea press conference?
                                All he is going to say is that Costa will be a gametime decision

                                            Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho admits all managers lie when talking about transfer targets

                                        Which combo should i go with.

                                        A: Silva Cesc Ramsey sigurdson rooney dzeko weimann

                                        B: Silva Cesc Ramsey Mata Rooney Jovetic Weimann

                                        C: Silva Cesc Ramsey Mata Rooney Remy Weimann

                                            A with Jovetic instead of Dzeko

                                          IF Aguero scores again, will you guys get him despite the fixtures?

                                              No. I had him last season for 1 and a half weeks before he got injured again. Still traumatised.

                                              Already have him! But I would, if I didn't.

                                              Yes. The chances of scoring against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge are pretty minimal but he would probably score against Arsenal. He's shown before he can score against anyone.

                                              I'll probably get him if he doesn't score and with those fixtures

                                              What time is it where you are?

                                              It's 06:37am in the UK (I know my sleeping pattern...)
