Fond of sand dunes and salty air, Granville returns from “avin’ it large” in Ibiza, to join me once again in the ScoutCast studio.

The ageing hedonist and I rinse through the regulars – giving our views on the week’s transfer bandwagons, whilst previewing the weekend and giving a shout-out to those managers blazing trails atop the various Fantasy Football Scout leagues.

Inevitably, we also moan about our Gameweek mishaps, discuss the latest development in the United revolution and surf the waves being generated by the Fantasy Premier League price tweaks.

Drop the beats via this link or “roll another fat one” via the handy player below…

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

    I genuinely think a badger would do a better job of making a FUT Web App instead of EA.

      Just order FIFA 15, how bad is the web app?

      And how are people even trading/pack opening/making coins if the games not out!

      1. Captain Shirokov

        Still not up properly. Was scheduled to be up yesterday at 6 but got put back to ten tonight. Now they're saying there are problems with the servers. Joke.

        The Web App always comes out before the game, they give you a few starter packs to get you on your feet.

      Still no joy?

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Nope. 😕

  2. Plymouth

    Any thoughts of the captaincy this GW? Evs? 😀

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Rooney (c)

      1. Plymouth
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Been thinking the same!

    2. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Rooney ?

      Not sure. Tricky one for Costa v City.

      1. Plymouth
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Ye probably. Im between him and Sterling. Leicester at home looks a bit solid in defence..

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          supposedly Leicester have allowed the most chances of all teams? someone posted earlier

          1. Mr Smith
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Its true, conceded almost 100 shots so far this season.

      2. Fantasy Gold
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah. Not Costa. Can't go too wrong with Rooney pick.

        Wanna keep it straight-forward and sensible from now on.

        In other words, never captain Caulker again 🙂

        1. Plymouth
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Haha! How about Ramsey.. Surely Villa cant beat two topsides in a row..

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Nah not for me

    3. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Rooney for me.

    4. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez 3rd week in a row I think..

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Nah not Sanchez. Villa will park the double decker

    5. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Rooney but Chadli for a punt 😉

              He played Centre Forward for Palermo. 😉

                Keep an eye out for his son, Junior. Gonna be a star for Brazil. 😉

  4. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Aston Villa are pretty much last for every attacking stat. Maybe Arsenal can finally keep a cleanie? Chester to Chambers could be a nice clean-up move.

    How long is Debuchy out for?

    1. Mull
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I was told 2-3 months yesterday.

      1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yikes! 4.5m for a nailed-on Arsenal defender is insane value.

        1. Mull
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Wait for the Arsenal presser first. Don't want to find out he's back in 2 weeks.

          1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            For sure, cheers

        2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          On paper

          fixtures and terrible defending makes me think otherwise for now

          1. Mull
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Only a matter of time before they come good.

          2. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Fixtures turn in GW8

        3. GoonerByron
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Wouldn't be certain he's nailed.. Could be kept for CB cover with Bellerin deputising for Debuchy.

          1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Really? OK. Wait & see, I guess.

          2. Mull
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            No chance.

          3. A guy
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Chambers is nailed, Bellerin was only starting, because Chambers was sick.

    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    http://www.easports.com/fifa/news/2014/fifa-15-player-ratings-top-career-mode-prospects

    Januzaj has a higher career mode potential than Sterling.

    1. Mull
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      And?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Sterling should arguably be the Bakkali of Fifa 15 in terms of potential.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      no pro clubs on 360 or ps3 is a killer

      might not get the game this year 🙁

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Is that true then? I'm a massive fan of pro clubs. Felt Co Op seasons was a waste.

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I read that it won't be available on 360 or ps3 as less demand for this game mode apparently.

          only available on ps4 and xbox one. Trying to make you buy the new consoles

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            That sucks!

      2. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        seems too watered down when compared to the next gen counterparts(as expected).. think i'll skip. any idea how long the servers continue for fifa 14 online? still addicted to seasons and hoping i get an opponent to play with without hassle atleast for a few months

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          dint play fifa 13 online so not sure when the no. of players/server support dissappeared

        2. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Online fifa 14 will still work, just going to take a longer time to find opponents

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            they will stay online I am guessing but yeah less opponents

        3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          ea sports servers is general are pretty bad in general

          I never had major issues but it was frustrating from time to time going on and not being able to play online

          1. Valar(Keith)
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            thanks both.. gonna wear out my fifa 14 copy and hopefully get a ps4 and fifa 16 next year

      3. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Bought a ps4 because of such reasons...

    3. Van Dal
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Bang on

    4. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Wow.

    5. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      What's more ridiculous is that Januzaj's potential is higher than Kovacic's, who's obviously the best u20 in the world.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        That too

    6. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Ross Barkley too.

      Granted both are great players, but not game changing and a crucial player for their sides chance to win.

      Sterling should be above them (and yes, a wee bit biased)

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Sterling is better than both of them and has been for a year.

        1. Kerz
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          True
          Sterling is the future of English football without a doubt

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Fifa 15 is disappointing me with the potentials.

  6. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone on here get Baines in for a hit? reckon he is the only defender worth a hit considerin his attackin potential.. sigh.. wanna do terry to baines so bad 🙂 .. finding it very difficult to stop myself from doing it 🙂

    1. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I did Terry --> Baines (-4)
      Not sure it was the right move tbh.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I thought that but look at him tonight. Pen, assist, always chance of attacking returns. Two CSs in a row now to for Everton.

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Europa League hangover for Baines maybe? Gw 8 seems to be the ideal time to get him imo.

      He still has a few tough games to go

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        problem is if i keep Terry for 3 more weeks i'll end up thinking i've survived the storm so might as well keep him till Jan WC 🙂 .. their fixtures(apart from manu) look sublime then onwards..

        1. Sunny 😎
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Maybe do Terry to a United or a Liverpool defender next week and then switch to Baines later?

          1. Valar(Keith)
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            it's baines or no one for me 🙂 .. would rather keep terry than make a swap to anyone else. dont worry mate.. i'll still have an ok enough team if you'll need to field me this week 🙂

            1. Sunny 😎
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 10 months ago

              😀

              Baines is tempting though. I almost got him in this week but then decided against it as I wanted Aguero on my team in a couple of weeks

    3. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Brought him in on WC last week. He's one of my favorite players in the league, I love owning him and watching him. He seems to have a little bit of his mojo back this year going forward he's been much more clinical in the final third. Can't help but think even with the games he missed last year he was playing through injury for part of the season.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        considerin fpl for me is the enjoyment of watching my players play he gives me and 8th player to enjoy watching.. considerin defenders are generally a borefest to watch. love the guy!

    4. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      This is about the 5th post ha ha ha. Just get him mate. I've done same move this week 🙂

  7. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Which 2 would you play this week out of Naylor, Clyne, van Aanholt and Wilson?

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      The first two for me

  8. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Evs, are you going to play Terry at the Etihad?

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      History does have a funny way of repeating itself: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25908324

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Never bench, never captain

      1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Him, too? 😀

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Pretty much any defender who costs 6+ 😉

  9. rickardinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Baines currently on 6.9... Surely he won't rise before gw8 even if he has another good game against palace due to his next 2 fixtures right?

    I'll have exactly enough then to do Lovren+Caulker>Baines+4.5 (with 1.0itb), so desperate for Caulkers price not to fall before the weekend and for Baines to stay at 6.9 for another 3 weeks!

    Otherwise I might have to do Clyne>Bertrand to raise an extra 0.1 :/

        Aye, quite like it though.

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          loved it.. especially the first hour or so. huge shaun of the dead/hot fuzz fan here.. so there's no way i would not like it though 🙂

          1. Somalion
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Same here, enjoyed them all alot but I reckon this was the weakest of the lot (still very good though.)

  11. Mojo Rojo
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Krul
    Clyne // Hutton // PvA
    Cesc // Ram // Sig // Sterling
    Kun // Costa // Rooney (c)

    Elliot // Boyd // Dummett // Wisdom

    Bank = 0.2
    FT = 1 (already done Albrighton > Boyd)

    G2G and save remanding FT?

    Cheers

    1. Mojo Rojo

      should have done dummett to duff. but aye.. good to go. infact that team is unbelievable

      Fabregas has had 1/3rd of his assists cause of corner duty too 🙂

        Hi Valar how is the decision making going? Know you was struggling to decide what to do for the best this week

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          pretty set.. decided on Rooney(C) and made my Debuchy to duff captain earlier. just gotta decide on keeping terry/swapping him for baines for -4. the gambler in me says make the swap but it does not make sense considerin i'd play clyne over terry this week anyway and terry has a good fixture next week 🙂

          1. Valar(Keith)
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            *debuchy to duff.. fullstop. not sure where the word captain came from 🙂

          2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ

            not agonising.. just wonderin whether heart/entertainment value beats logic and points 🙂 .. this game is meant to be fun after all and i'm not having much fun of late

              If you're not enjoying playing FPL then get in Baines asap as at the end of the day FPL is a game which should be played for fun 🙂

    2. Dr Dream

      11 years, 10 months ago

      But corners are good...13 chances created and 11 goal attempts is pretty damned good in anybody's book...Gonna watch him closely these next two games..

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Indeed. And those fixtures ...

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          shockers..but if he looks decent in those then he's a pick for the easier games for sure..Having said that his next two hardly set the world alight defensively...

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        What he needs is a better strikers than last season to be supplying...oh, wait a mo...mmmm...

        To Chambers once we get confirmation about Debuchy's expected time out from Wenger

        1. A guy
          • 11 Years

          Debuchy is out for long definetly. In all of my years supporting Arsenal, a player has never been out shorter than expected 🙁

    Which would you rather have:

    A) Fab Ramsey Siggy Sterling + Walcott / Lovren

    B) Fab Ramsey Siggy Sterling + Tadic / Baines

    Gotta say the thought of that immense midfield in A is tantalising, though so is Baines!

      He will 100% if he does anything this weekend against Palace. If he blanks then he probably will not rise. That would be my guess.

  18. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    What transfer(s) do you reckon? Get rid of Hazard for Cesc Fàbregas? Get rid of Dzeko?

    Krul / Myhill
    Cahill / Clyne / Dummett / Wisdom/ Bruce
    Hazard / Sterling / Eriksen / Sigurdsson / Marney
    Costa / Rooney / Dzeko

    1FT, £1.1m ITB

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years

      Look at defence, I have a similar front eight...

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        But Hazard has been useless so far! As has Dzeko!

        1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Haz to Fab a sideways move...look at Haz stats and he is more productive than Fab. Pts not reflecting this atm. Dzeko to Pelle is a good move...

  19. Scotty B
    • 14 Years

    Courtois

    Naylor Duff Kaboul

    Mata Siggy Fabregas Sterling

    Adebayor Balotelli Costa

    Subs:Lovren Clyne Wanyama

    Any transfer needed guys or stick with?

    Clyne, PVA, Moreno
    ADM, Siggy, Sterling, Fabregas
    Costa, Wellbeck, Aguero

    Who would you captain? Be boring and go for Costa Or a.n.other?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years

      Costa or Aguero.

    2. Mota
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yup, Costa or Aguero, depending on who you think has more chance to win this game.

  22. Davido989
    • 15 Years

    Rio Ferdinand - "Moyes told Vidic and me to study Jagielka. With all due respect that was the last straw for Vida"

    I don't even find this funny. Poor from Rio.

    1. Van Dal
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not meant to be funny. It's true

    2. Brutus619
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Why is it poor? He didn't say it was the last straw for him, but for Vidic.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        He shouldn't be talking on behalf of an ex team mate, nor an ex manager for a club who got rid of him anyway.

        1. Brutus619
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          To me that's just a rubbish high horse take on this. Moyes hasn't passed away, he just got fired. I bet you have some weird opinion on this "not being classy" - even if it isn't, it's hardly close to being criminal either.

          1. Van Dal
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            This

        2. Brutus619
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          In fact, go look up a website called Glass Door. Many many everyday people spill the beans and review the companies and bosses they worked for, including myself. Rio being a footballer doesn't deprive him of that right.

        3. Brutus619
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          With regards to talking on behalf of an ex team mate (and probable friend). I think that's BS too, simply because this isn't court and Vidic doesn't need to have the right to speak for himself about this - if he feels it's important enough he could respond publicly anyway.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      he's right, jagielka hasn't won shite or done anything of note in his career

      why would rio or vidic want to learn and study him. I would have told moyes to fook off

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Spot on, BD.

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        No, not like that. Of course Rio and Vida are in a different league to Jags.

        But to come out and talk about ex teammates, managers and clubs is poor, imo.

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          To be fair I think that quote was from a while back

          Personally I like to hear people's opinions and it's good to hear some info on how players felt about the moyes reign

      3. Mull
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Because what he's doing could be techincally correct. Should aspiring left backs learn to defend like Djimi Traore?

        1. Brutus619
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          This thought ran through my mind for 0.5 seconds.

          BUT

          Even if Jags does things technically correct in a particular moment or game, I can't imagine him doing anything technically better than Vidic on a consistent basis, ergo Moyes shouldn't tell them to simply "study" him. It would be ok for him to say "like this time when Jagielka did this", but that's about it.

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            for someone like vidic and ferdinand who have won many titles at united being be-littled and being told they should study jagielka is frankly embarassing

            I would have been fuming with this moron. Show me clips of maldini or if you want to recent thiago silva.

            1. Brutus619
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 10 months ago

      rio ferdinand was one of the best centre halves in word football at his best and as a united fan i can safely say he's one of the best we've ever had... he also happens to be a total gobshite

              Haz/Fab Sterling Rambo/Sanchez Sigg
              even Chadli/Eriksen for 1-3 weeks

              1. Somalion
                • 16 Years
                11 years, 10 months ago

                Got Fab, Rambo/Sterling (deciding between the two as Rambo actually has a tough time over the next while) and Siggy. Was tempted by Chadli but ADM's fixtures are pretty tasty too.

                1. Mota
                  • 15 Years
                  11 years, 10 months ago

                  I was tempted by Rambo -> ADM as well this week but decided against, even with 2FT. Rambo is omnipresent, very difficult to ditch him but indeed he is the one to make way if you believe in ADM.

    Really liking some of these 5.0-6.0 picks this season...Siggy, Chadli, Zaha, Downing, Schnierderlin and co...Did we have many last year ?..I only remember Sterling and Barkley but they just ended up as iffy picks..Was there anybody else ?

    1. Mull
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Lallana, Cabaye and Nolan.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        all slightly above..along with Ramsey..6.5 for all of them if I remember right...oh, maybe 6.0 for Lala..

        1. Mull
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Cabaye and Lallana started at 6m and Ramsey started at 5.5m...

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            My brother killed me with Ramsey and Yaya last season .He was one of about 0.1 % who started the season with both..We have a kind of loose rule that we don't nab each others picks in our mini league..so he battered me..

      the one season we have plentiful 5-6 million punts is the one season we have amazing 8-10.5 million options.. difficult to ignore em and go for the punts tbh(apart from siggy)

    A. Terry ➡ Baines

    B. Terry ➡ Chambers

    C. Save FT.

    Choose wisely.

      A.....have some fun.

      Chambers from GW8. People will say the same about Baines but he can get attacking returns in the tough fixtures, whereas chambers won't.
