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.

    How's this for a WC team?

    Krul
    Rafael, Chambers, Hutton
    Siggy, Fab, Sterling, Ramsey
    Rooney, Aguero, Diego Costa
    (Elliot, Duff, Moore, Boyd)

    I think it's bloody super if you ask me 🙂

      It's actually very good.

      Although, you must have missed the fact that Newcastle don't keep CS 😛

        Hopefully tony pulis gets brought in to replace pardew! In the meantime, krul will still hopefully collect save points

      defense is crap.But you know that.

      Newcastle is in last. Take Evans over Rafael. Chambers has 2 yellow in less than 3 full games, not great fix's coming, no CS's. Take Wilson or even Robertson. Hutton has brutal fix's start Duff. McCarthy will play at 4.0. IMO GL great 7

    Falcao likely to be next bandwagon? Not this gw, but if he starts, plays well and scores, he'll be a better pick then Rooney going forward.

    Wondering if I should leave funds for Rooney to Falcao(on wildcard) in such a scenario.

        ?

        My plan is to go with Rooney on my wildcard, but leave at least 0.6 in bank to transfer Rooney to Falcao in case he fires.

        If he doesn't and Rooney looks better, will keep Rooney.

        Still another day for changes to happen.

        Caulker is by far the most owned player over 130% in the red on TFPL and has had massive selling this week. Has to be due a fall.

        And if not, at least I got myself a solid long-term 4.5, who solves my benching crisis as now I won't play Tadic at Swansea and instead play fabregas 🙂

    Rank Hutton, Duff and Moore as cheap defender options if you choosing between them on a wildcard? Not sure if picking 1 or 2 of them.

    Hutton - in best defence but fixtures cannot be worse. Will be benched for at least 5 out of next 6 fixtures. Defence good enough to nick an unexpected clean sheet in the tough fixtures if have to play him. Seems nailed.
    Duff - Burnley seems quite solid and last few games has been good. 36 yrs old and facing some competition from loanee(till Jan) Keane.
    Moore - Leicester def seems decent and he is nailed.

    Duff is more popular this gw coz of recent results, but Leicester might be better defensively going fwd and Moore will be most secured going forward so don't have to worry about the 4.0 slot? Hutton would be a long term investment if getting him in due to his horrendous fixtures.

        From past season's experience, having at least 1 is optimal. Having 2 this year looks viable due to having the 3 options to switch around.

        Would advise against having all 3, one of them being dropped or injured would leave you scrambling for options as difficult to upgrade then.

      For me those 3 are equal. The main thing I look at is where the holes are in the fixtures of my top 4 defenders and where I need cover here-and-there. In my case Moore is the best option, but it'll be different for everyone.

      However, if you plan on playing a 4.0 every game it might be a little different, but few people do that.

          In anycase most profits are on players like fab and Costa who I'll keep for a long time so it makes no difference. What hurts are price drops on players that are highly transferable. I took a hit a few weeks back to get rid of Davis when he fell, and although it hasn't paid off points wise te 0.1 drop effectively saved me 0.5 in spending power at the time and even now I have 0.5iyb instead of a significantly less useful 0.4 because of it.

        He played only 20 games and scored 11 goals because of an injury, so if your grading on a curve, then maybe he's average!

        2011-2013 on Atletico Madrid 68 games........52 goals.
        2009-2011 on Porto 51 games......41 goals.

        The guy is a goal scoring machine period. If he is healthy, he will score and score them in bunches.

        On another note, I don't exactly get how anyone can be so high on Rooney and not on Falcao. Rooney will be moved to the hole and Falcao will be up front hammering in crosses from DiMaria and Herrera and possibly Mata all game long.

        Time will tell, but I'd be willing to bet that there will be a mad dash to add him to people's teams as fast as possible just as soon as he puts one or two away. The dash begins this weekend after the game. Cheers!

          He's not that young so Thursday-Sunday will take it's toll. Someone has to be rotated and it might be him, just as it could be mirallas (in fact I think Pienaar will take either his or mcgeadys place... And then there's Atsu as well)

    Why do people keep saying that Rafael is such a good option?

    Sure, he's an attacking fullback at 5.3 in a top side, but - he's injury prone, rotation risk (young, Valencia, smelling) and isn't on form, not to mention that Uniteds fixtures will get tougher soon and their defense overall is pretty poor. Bertrand and Clyne are miles better, even together.

        If I bench an attacker who scores well that game I'm not pissed but actually happy. It shows I have a good asset who will rise in value.

        Case in point Naismith himself- I haven't caught most of his points as he's been benched, but I have earned 0.6 on his rise.
