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 was going to do Rooney to Kun with my FT, giving me a front 3 of Welbz-Costa-Kun...

    after the QPR game, it now looks silly... is it a case of "it was just QPR" or is Rooney worth keeping over Kun?

    1. McSauce
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Keep rooney for this GW

    2. Robe Wan

      Always Kun

    Livin' dangerously like Danny Dyer.

    1. the axolotl
      12 years, 1 month ago

      one of my least favourite human beings

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        12 years, 1 month ago

        That's a shame. He adores you.

        1. the axolotl
          12 years, 1 month ago

          actually yeah he's really cool come to think of it, so dangerous

          1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
            12 years, 1 month ago

            More like it. He is well 'ard.

  3. copps

    I really hope Mata can hold onto his place, he was pretty much a striker in the last game the way he was positioned last time with rooney and RVP either side. Will score plenty if they keep the same.

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Really hope so

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Moi aussi

  4. Ice
    12 years, 1 month ago

    So my WC team so far….

    Forster
    Bertrand,Lovren,Bardsley
    ADM,Fab,Siggy,Sterling
    Costa,Falcao,Pelle

    I'm not sure about Falcao and Pelle

    Falcao could rise but he also could be on the bench, should I swap to Rooney??
    Pelle's fixtures are great but no sure long term was thinking of switching to Welbeck. I also have the money to upgrade Falcao to Aguero…..
    Any opinions?

    Thanks

    1. McSauce
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero for me in a WC and Rooney

  5. TorresMagic™

    Ideas on this lot?

    Elliot Krul
    Moore Debuchy Ferdinand Clyne Chester
    Hazard Ramsey Sterling Albrighton Sigurdsson
    Rooney Dzeko Diego Costa

    1 FT, £0.2m in the bank.

    Sell

    a) Dzeko
    b) Debuchy
    c) both for a hit

    Who would you replace with?

    Thanks in advance. 🙂

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Both for a hit

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 1 month ago

        With who?

        1. Costa in Wengerland
          12 years, 1 month ago

          If ure doing Dzeko to welz
          U can have baines

          But if ure doing Dzeko to Pelle
          U can have 6.5 defender

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Dzeko to pelle or Ade

      Or.....

      Debuchy to Naylor

    3. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      B

      I'd probably replace with Ade or Pelle. Ade (c) would be very tempting though....

    4. Piggs Boson
      12 years, 1 month ago

      a

      1. Piggs Boson
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Clyne Rio Chester will do.

        It's highly unlikely you'd even break even with a hit.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Interesting. Guess Moore will hopefully score a point. Debuchy will need to soon & I may need to change attackers soon.

          1. Piggs Boson
            12 years, 1 month ago

            I'm strongly against taking hits for defenders. The maths just doesn't add up.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              12 years, 1 month ago

              Good point. Don't think I'll get to change Debuchy any time soon without the hit as I always seem to want an attacker change. Getting Pelle would help but part of me wants Adebayor this week.

    5. TorresMagic™

      Cheers everyone.

  6. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    tried to look at the defensive stats for Stoke and Burnley to help me decide which one to go for

    didn't help, there's so little between them

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Thats why im playing Begoviç and Trippier

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I don't have that luxury

        DDG, Clyne, Caulker, Naylor, Moore + Wilson/Shackell/Duff

        1. Costa in Wengerland
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Burnley defender then

      2. A guy
        12 years, 1 month ago

        haha what's up with that ç?

        1. Costa in Wengerland
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Looks good 😉

  7. Millartime
    12 years, 1 month ago

    De Gea
    Duff Pieters Lovren
    Siggy Fabby Sterling Di Maria
    Costa Rooney Jelavic

    1 FT, 0.6 in bank.

    Do I change Jelavic to Naismith as I have no Everton cover this week? Reckon they could stuff Palace! Need some opinions and other potential options guys!!

    I ate a whole massive bag of Morrison's own brand onion rings and now my mouth hurts.

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Are you voting 'yes'?

      1. stilicho
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 1 month ago

        The quarter of me that's Scottish would, the rest of me is terrified at the lurch to the right UK politics would take without Scottish voters.

    2. TorresMagic™

      Drink beer to cool it down.

      1. stilicho
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I am. Greene King "Yardbird" - it's a pretty decent stab at a US style IPA

    3. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds like something I'd do. Salted peanuts turning my lips from pink to crimson

      1. stilicho
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I think my tongue has lots of tiny cuts in it.

    4. Piggs Boson
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I did exactly the same with Tesco onion rings earlier. Been thirsty all day 😆

      1. stilicho
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 1 month ago

        The thirst is something else eh?

  11. THE Wild Rover
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Everton never get penalties 😉

    1. THE Wild Rover
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Except when not deserved

    2. Piggs Boson
      12 years, 1 month ago

      They're due.

      And more attacking this year 🙂

  12. Costa in Wengerland
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Penalty
    So baines 2 assist and a Goal woww

  13. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Feck it. Baines is essential now. Even if he misses.

    1. Epic Fail
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Coleman essential too.

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Will try to squeeze in Baines, Coleman, Naismith & Lukaku.

        What do you think? Enough? Or one more?

        1. Epic Fail
          12 years, 1 month ago

          The first 3 are essential. I'd leave Lukaku out.

  14. Bellerinmondo
    12 years, 1 month ago

    oh yeah!

  15. SneakyPete
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Bainesssssssssssssssssss, I don't care FPL or Europa. I love him

  16. Voodoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Ángel Di María likely to go up in price by Saturday?

  17. Bellerinmondo
    12 years, 1 month ago

    challenge was outside the box but hey, great pen

  18. LewanGOALski
    12 years, 1 month ago

    which one should I bench:

    Clyne (swa)
    or
    PvA (bur)

    ??

  19. THE Wild Rover
    12 years, 1 month ago

    "Very,very close.." Lol, it was clearly outside the box 😆

    1. Bellerinmondo
      12 years, 1 month ago

      a mile out! don;t care though as an everton fan

  20. Lucy.
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Oh shut up Townsend, that was not a penalty and you know it.

    1. THE Wild Rover
      12 years, 1 month ago

      See above 🙂

      1. Lucy.
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Haha, well said.

  21. 420king
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Baines the TROLL 😀

  22. Dr Dream
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I'll never be any good at this game...Ivan > Baines...All I can ever see is great picks and only 15 spots...sheesh...

  23. World XI
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I love baines. One of my favourite players 🙂

    1. THE Wild Rover
      12 years, 1 month ago

      First good game of the season. That includes England

      1. World XI
        12 years, 1 month ago

        He was good vs WBA I felt.

      2. SneakyPete
        12 years, 1 month ago

        He was good against Switzerland

  24. copps
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Baines goal assist and CS. Oh the glory days

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      2 assists

      1. Lucy.
        12 years, 1 month ago

        How? The first goal was an OG, initially struck by Naismith.

        1. THE Wild Rover
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Would have been given in FPL as on target

          1. Lucy.
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Pretty sure there was a ricochet involved though.

        2. 420king
          12 years, 1 month ago

          you're right, they changed it to OG

    2. 420king
      12 years, 1 month ago

      two assists!

    3. Lucy.
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Means it won't happen at the weekend 😉

    4. Bellerinmondo
      12 years, 1 month ago

      officially 1 assist, a first was OG with naismith assist

  25. JT's Dog

    Can't think of anything to write so here is recipe for fluffy pancakes

    135g/4¾oz plain flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    ½ tsp salt
    2 tbsp caster sugar
    130ml/4½fl oz milk
    1 large egg, lightly beaten
    2 tbsp melted butter (allowed to cool slightly) or olive oil, plus extra for cooking
    To serve
    Maple syrup
    Butter
    Preparation method
    Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar into a large bowl. In a separate bowl or jug, lightly whisk together the milk and egg, then whisk in the melted butter.
    Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and, using a fork, beat until you have a smooth batter. Any lumps will soon disappear with a little mixing. Let the batter stand for a few minutes.
    Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a knob of butter. When it's melted, add a ladle of batter (or two if your frying pan is big enough to cook two pancakes at the same time). It will seem very thick but this is how it should be. Wait until the top of the pancake begins to bubble, then turn it over and cook until both sides are golden brown and the pancake has risen to about 1cm (½in) thick.
    Repeat until all the batter is used up. You can keep the pancakes warm in a low oven, but they taste best fresh out the pan.
    Serve with lashings of real maple syrup and extra butter if you like.

    Cahill, Caulker, van Aanholt / Chester, Wisdom
    Fabregas, Sterling, Ramsey, Sigurdsson / S. Davies
    Rooney, Costa, Pelle

    a) Cahill out, Coleman/Baines in only for next week (then to Bertrand)
    b) Chester out, Naylor/Duff in
    c) Ramsey out, Chadli in
