Granville’s lackadaisical approach to the new campaign might just explain why he’s treading water. Missing deadlines and price rises, my ScoutCast co-host badly needs to introduce some organisation into his season if he’s to keep pace – the man needs a PA – get your applications in.

With Granville floundering, I’ve decided to lay down my Wildcard to potential rub further salt into his wounds. Is it a chronic case of “jerky knee”? Granville certainly thinks (hopes) so.

We chat over my Wildcard revolution, analyse how the heavy-hitting midfielders are failing to pull their weight and rinse through the usual regulars in the same disorganised fashion.

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

    Any chance on Hull reverting back to 3-5-2 this weekend?

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      I would sure hope so as a James C owner, though their fixtures are so miserable, I can't see when I'd play him.

    2. Pap Le Cissier

      If Bruce sees his teams defensive stats, I hope so!

  4. Nickofoz
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 1 day ago

    WC User, considering putting Sanchez in instead of Di Maria....thoughts?

    1. Lucy.
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      The only thing against Sanchez is his lack of starts.

      1. Nickofoz
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Hmm yeah, you'd expect him to start now with no Ramsey?

        I might see how this week goes...then decide.

        Any other thoughts?

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      I like this move

    3. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Sanchez big points score imminent

    4. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Walcott, and Ox will be big competition for Sanchez natural place in the team, Arsenal for me are quite unbalanced as a squad. Ozil is probably a better investment, cheaper, and more consistent game time.

      1. Nickofoz
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Hmm yeah, walcott coming back adds more competition I guess. Thanks.

    5. Muffinz
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      I too am unsure of ADM, but Sanchez, although a quality player, is risky because of lack of starts. Maybe too risky.

      1. Nickofoz
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Hmm yeah. I don't have Fabregas - is he a better option for ADM?

  5. RyanC
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 1 day ago

    Any advice on who to take out of my team from Fab and Hazard? Not confident with triple Chelsea attack for the next few weeks (I have Costa too).

    Should be straightforward after Hazard's form but I'm hearing Fab is playing deeper now?

    1. Lucy.
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      I'd probably keep Hazard, as weird as that sounds.

      1. RyanC
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        I'm leaning in that direction too. Feel he has more of a potential to pick up form over the next few weeks.

      2. Your Mum Zohore
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Lucy you have some explaining to do, lol, but seriously, no love for Fab?

        1. Lucy.
          • 13 Years
          12 years, 1 day ago

          Oh I love for him. I own him. But I think Hazard might do better in tough fixtures.

          1. Your Mum Zohore
            • 12 Years
            12 years, 1 day ago

            I have him too, and costa as well. The chemistry between them is amazing!

            1. Lucy.
              • 13 Years
              12 years, 1 day ago

              Absolutely. Has revolutionised that Chelsea team.

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      I'm losing fab for silva for the foreseeable.
      Think in tougher games he'll play much deeper

      1. Lucy.
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        OR he'll play as the No. 10 because he's more defensively responsible than Oscar. It's hard to determine.

      2. AAAAA
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        I think the opposite might happen honestly, he'll be part of a 3 man midfield instead which is better.

    3. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Sanchez from next week is a very intriguing option...

    4. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      I think Fabregas will be moved in to the hole against Arsenal and Oscar benched with Matic and Mikel coming in to midfield.

      But Fabregas is a good choice, he puts at least one chance on the plate for other players every game and sometimes gets in to the box

      Having watched every chelsea match, I feel he is getting closer to his first league goal

    5. RyanC
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Cheers everyone. Think I'm going to stick with my triple Chelsea for this next game and wait for the double transfer next week. That way I can bring Baines in and drop either Haz/Fab for free.

  6. Sunny 😎
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 1 day ago

    Best captain choice out of Costa, Siggy, Sterling and Falcao

    Playing it safe and got it on Costa right now..

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      That's the correct choice

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Zlatan agrees!

        Can't change it now 😀

    2. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Costs C Sterling VC

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        And Silver Surfer also agrees..I'm probably right then 🙂

    3. mookie
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Sterling imo

      i’m captaining Dzeko(most likely) or Sterling also have Costa, Siggy and Falcao

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        I gave it to sterling at the start of the week but Liverpool's form made me twist..

  7. Mavric Marco
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 1 day ago

    Sanchez flagged 😯 When did this happen?
    I saw him with an ice pack on his foot after he was subbed but thought he was ok?

    1. Lucy.
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Ankle knock I heard.

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        🙁 Hope he's ok for Sunday

    2. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Wenger said he was fine, but I guess you will know more at the press conference today

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Yea ok Cheers Pepin

  8. The Baines
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 1 day ago

    Am I the only one feeling mad about getting rid of Pool defence??

    1. Lucy.
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      I'm not. Have you SEEN how leaky they are?

      1. The Baines
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        but Westbrom, QPR.. uff.. i missed that run of fixtures.. 🙁

      2. AAAAA
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Hey, thanks for your replies earlier.

        Sorry got caught up in some work.

        PS @The Baines - no they're terrible.

    2. Wouter
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      I'm keeping Moreno in. The next 4 fixtures are too good to ignore and he will have an attacking threat regardless.

      1. FantaCity
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        this - they'll come good with those fixtures, and even better if Studge back

    3. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      They've been poor value for money, if you will, but with the upcoming fixtures they are bound to get a couple of clean sheets.

    4. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Only thing I am feeling mad about is the lack of returns since I have had Lovren (GW1). He's gone for Baines next week and I have a big smile on my face about that.

      1. The Baines
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        🙂

    5. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Nope. Booted Moreno this week and good riddance.

      1. The Baines
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        this week??? with Baggies and QPR up next??

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          12 years, 1 day ago

          Baggies will score. Only cleansheet will come from QPR; not enough reason to keep imo

          1. Lucy.
            • 13 Years
            12 years, 1 day ago

            Saints, a much tougher defence than Liverpool this season, couldn't keep QPR out. I really wouldn't count on a QPR clean sheet.

            1. Lucy.
              • 13 Years
              12 years, 1 day ago

              (that is a CS vs QPR)

              1. Rasping Drive
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 17 Years
                12 years, 1 day ago

                So that's no clean sheets then. All the more reason to ge trid 🙂

                1. Lucy.
                  • 13 Years
                  12 years, 1 day ago

                  Yup.

        2. Jafalad
          • 16 Years
          12 years, 1 day ago

          Yep, don't trust any of them.

  9. Fader
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 1 day ago

    Guys need some help on Jedinak or Welbeck this week. I think people just see the name and go "Welbeck!" but Jedinak is playing a more attacking role in a central 3 midfield and is playing the "Pirlo" role. He also has 2 goals in 2.

    Welbeck has Chelsea and I cannot see him scoring.

    Someone tell me it's not a stupid idea to play a 5-man midfield and bench Welbeck?

    team would be :

    Heaton
    Ivanovic - Clyne - Duff
    ADM - Sterling - Fabrgeas - Siggy - Jedinak
    Costa - Augero[C]

    1. FantaCity
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Welbz will be brimming with confidence after his midweek hattie - I reckon he could put one past Chelsea. Jedinak is a solid player, but not gonna score many overall

      1. Fader
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        My only worry is he needs (before the gala game) too many chances to score. I can't see that Chelsea game giving Arsenal more than 1 goal (if that)

        Hull-Palace I can see being a 2-2 (Hull had a couple of 2-2s in a row infact) and Jeds is a playmaker in that team recently

        Arghh

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      I would play Jedinak. Think Arsenal will get thumped to nil at the Bridge.

      1. Fader
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        agree.

    3. Arrow Marked Drogba
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Always play the striker, especially one who plays for a top 4 club, no reason why Welbeck can't score at the bridge on Sunday!

    4. mookie
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      away at Chelsea is one of the toughest fixtures for any attacker imo, but i would play Welbeck over Jedinak nontheless

    5. The Joker
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Jedinak!!

  10. Shifty
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 1 day ago

    Ditching Ramsey tonight for -4

    Front 8 of

    Ramsey* Sterling DiMaria Sigurdsson Marney
    Costa Aguero Pelle

    A) Tadic (worth the double up this week?)
    B) Chadli
    C) Puncheon
    D) Ozil

    Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Chadlie for me. Then you can upgrade Siggy with the money saved when the time comes to an Ozil/Sanchez/Hazard.

      1. Shifty
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Cheers, just concerned that Chadli plays 2 mean defences in a row.

    2. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Chadli or Punch. If CPL keep up their intent to attack, Punch.

    3. Deyanski
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      What about Fabregas?
      Arsenal mid is looking very tempting after this weekend

      1. Shifty
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Only got up to 9 mil to spend. Would love to own Fabregas, but can't afford. Did Rooney > Aguero before Rooney's drop.

        1. Deyanski
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 1 day ago

          I see.

  11. nedfoo
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 1 day ago

    If you were on a WC, which keepers would you get?

    1. Super Silva
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Begovic Fabianski

    2. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Kasper.

    3. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Mannone would be one but who I'd rot him with I'm not really sure.

    4. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Adrian/Mannone looks good

      1. Jafalad
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Do they rot well?

        1. Sunny 😎
          • 13 Years
          12 years, 1 day ago

          Had a look at their rotation earlier and they just play Liverpool twice and Arsenal once from the top 6 or 7 teams for the rest of the season

          1. Jafalad
            • 16 Years
            12 years, 1 day ago

            Noice. Just need Wet Spam to remember how to defend.

            1. Sunny 😎
              • 13 Years
              12 years, 1 day ago

              That's the only concern with that rotation, neither team looking great defensively..

              1. Jafalad
                • 16 Years
                12 years, 1 day ago

                Quietly confident Manone will do well.

    5. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Going for Mannone and Foster personally. Mannone and Guzan also looks good.

  12. Super Silva
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 1 day ago

    When Walcott is fit I have a feeling a lot of formations are gonna change from 3-4-3 to 3-5-2 ..

    1. Lucy.
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Not with so many tempting strikers.

    2. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Can't see it myself. Three forwards tend to produce the biggest points hauls.

    3. Arrow Marked Drogba
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      I like him in a 343, makes me feel like I have 4 strikers 🙂

    4. GRIMANDI [formerly boring M…
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Cant see it myself. Atleast not iff Aguero & Costas stay fit. With Pelle & Welbeck cheap options for the 3rd spot. Can just see a lot of flitting in the midfield. When sterlings fixtures change it could be an easy swap

    5. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      I would prefer Benteke at 7.9m than Walcott at 9m, but I already have Costa, Falcao, and Welbeck so I don't know who I would even drop for Benteke anyway.

      3 - 4 - 3 all season for me - unless a major injury happens.

  13. Bob.
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 1 day ago

    Playing my wildcard next week.

    Play Clyne(spurs) or take a -4 to get someone in for Rooney? Any good 1 gw punts up forward?

    1. Lucy.
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Ulloa vs Burnley who looked diabolical vs WBA?

        • 15 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Ulloa is a fat failure in the lower leagues. One swan doesnt make a summer

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          How about 5 swans?

        Please?

    2. Lucy.
      • 13 Years

      Nope. I'd get Naismith out though.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Even for a hit this week?

        To Welbeck?

    3. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Nope - just three to boot. Start with Naysmith and upgrade to Ulloa.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Thinking Naismith > Welbeck next week.

        Then need to ship Krul, Davis, Lovren asap.

    4. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years

      Naismith to Welbeck next week and you're team will look as good as new..

        Yeah that's the plan....

        • 14 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Nah, can't be doing with Ulloa. But thanks for the suggestion

    7. Shifty
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Nope. Lovren decent fixture this week, Naismith could get returns vs United.

      Might be tempted to get Tadic/Mane in for a hit though.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        But for who?

        Fabs?

        1. Shifty
          • 13 Years
          12 years, 1 day ago

          Davis. Affordable right? With the 2.8 in the bank. And play ahead of Naismith.

          But I see you're intending to get Welbz in. So maybe not.

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            12 years, 1 day ago

            Oh I could do that. But for a hit?

            1. Shifty
              • 13 Years
              12 years, 23 hours ago

              I would if it was a long term play, but can see you want Welbeck in next week, so maybe that's a better play with Arsenal attack coverage.

          I think that anybody who benches Welbeck, has to have a serious look at why they play this game, tbh.

            That's a bit harsh now as he is away to Chelsea so I wouldn't be that dramatic.

            I think Chelsea will beat Arsenal and Saints will beat Spurs. It's Welbeck or Mane so isn''t it about going with what you think the results will be????

            1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              I don't even bench cheap forwards, unless they drop form.

              I really believe it to be a form of lunacy.

              Mr. Clough would agree.

                I've Costa and welbeck up front then if he lays. I just hink come sunday I will be regretting leaving him when Chelsea win 3-0. 🙁

          I don't really mind. Not a conundrum I have. WOO PELLE.

          I didn't want to move on Welbz until those mean fixtures went away.

            • 12 Years
            12 years, 1 day ago

            Yeah, he will be back in the line-up after Chelsea.

            I don't think Welbeck has ever scored vs Chelsea tbh. ..

              • 12 Years

    I just cant get my head round all this Ulloa love. Seems like a waste of the vital 3rd forward place. He scored 14 goals in 35 apperance last season in the championship & has been eating in burger king all summer. Yes yes i know 5 in 6 apperances, but going by previous seasons that cannont last & surely being a out of condition 28 year old stepping up a division he'll be hard pushed to better his tally from last season

    2013/2014 Brighton & Hov… CHA 2843 35 14
    2012/2013 Brighton & Hov… CHA 1600 19 9

    People thinking of captaining id think twice, this run cant last much longer.... Can it

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Well, it obviously can. I don't have him, but I can see the point.

      1. Transient Anus
        • 17 Years

        Same

    2. Saniul
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Look at the fixtures he scored in, and now look at the fixtures he has up next.
      Yeah, he can fail, but surely has the potential.

    3. Fader
      • 12 Years

      He's scored consistently everywhere he's played, is in top form, has good fixtures, is dirt cheap. Makes a lot of sense. Captaining would be stupid imo

    8. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Everybody has noticed him by now so all managers will have a plan to contain him. Costa is good enough to deal with that but is Ulloa?

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        If you think that's ridiculous, have a word with Hodgson.

  19. Saniul
    • 13 Years

    In the days of Welbeck, Pelle and Ulloa, the feeling when you are stuck with Diouf as your third striker.

          Well, he has 3 on target, and is most certainly not out of it!

        2. Jafooli
          • 14 Years

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years

      I wanted to lol but then controlled myself, at least you got 2 goals out of him.. 🙂

      1. Saniul
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        I got him after the City game anyway. 😐

        1-5-1 since then, had the potential for some more.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          The only thing that I would say about this, is did you not recall his stint at Blackburn, also with Sparkless?

          1. Saniul
            • 13 Years

        2. Sunny 😎
          • 13 Years
          12 years, 1 day ago

          Get him out pal what are you waiting for, I'd say take a hit if needed. He's a injury doubt and plays for an out of form team.

    3. Transient Anus
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      He's ruled out this week too

    Have a feeling that might be the differential this week. GW's after a Europe often a bit flatter right?

    Team is looking a bit shaky for this week.
    Want to do:

    Naismith --> Pelle
    Debucy --> Clyne
    Ramsey --> which 8.5?

    for an 8pt hit. Any suggestions pls?

      You should play your WC imo

        i have been considering it tbh

        1. Sunny 😎
          • 13 Years
          12 years, 1 day ago

          You need to get rid of Debuchy, Cameron, Bojan, Dier, Kelly and Naismith imo.

          Play the wildcard and sort it all out.

    'Jonjo O'Shelvey'

      B easily

    3. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      B-I think if you have Tadic you should be playing him.

          Easier than you'd think I say.

    What 4.4 or less defender should I change Duff for?

    Would rather not double up on any defence and have got Begovic, Naylor, PVA, Clyne and Moreno as well.

    1. Saniul
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Moore.
      I would just keep Duff, though.

      1. Wouter
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Thanks.

        Got 2 FT's anyways, so might as well. Won't make any other transfers and they didn't look too solid against WBA to say the least.

    Would you play Wilson this week over either Boyd or Jutkiewicz?

    1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      Why do you have Jutkiewicz?

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 1 day ago

      I would

      Why do you even have both Boyd and Jutkiewicz?

    Morning all 🙂

    I'm on WC and soon to be going away for the weekend so want to get my team wrapped up before I go...

    Can anyone see any concerns with this team for this GW and near future?

    Fabianski (Mannone)
    Bertrand, Moore, Shawcross (Naylor, Wisdom)
    Siggy, Fab, Sterling, Downing (Chadli)
    Costa, Pelle, Aguero

    I want to have a decent 5th midfielder in case aguero or costa get injured. Got 0.6ITB with this team for future change

    Any thoughts ?

    1. taddyfc
      • 12 Years

      My aim is to play downing for the next couple of games and then ship him out... unless he remains on top form, then ...... I don't know

      1. Pompel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        I have almost the same front 8 as you (Marney instead of Chadli though), and I'm thinking the same. But I'm not feeling too confident, kind of wished I'd gone with Chadli to be honest.

    2. Gunner HitIT
      • 12 Years

      yes siggy

      1. taddyfc
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 1 day ago

        Siggy....... Keep / bench / get rid ?

        1. Gunner HitIT
          • 12 Years
          12 years, 1 day ago

          Siggy and downing would be off the radar very soon! Keep for 1.2 GWs max

    Anyone remember Michel Vorm?

    Yeah, I thought not.

            To be honest I just wanted to link it, I have had a partial country upbringing 😛 😛

            Though I will say, it did introduce me to the likes of Jackson Browne and James Taylor 😉

              James Taylor is NOT C & W!!! 😛

              Hank Williams and Merle Haggard, though ... 😉

                I know, I just meant I wound up listening to him as I transitioned from it.

                Don't forget Conway Twitty 😛 😆 😆

        This should be playing with lyrics over a highlights reel of Vorm in goal for Swansea.
