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.

    It must be so depressing supports spurs

    The same crap for 20 years, so many new dawns, so much Europa on Thursdays

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I can confirm you are 100% correct. Our chairmen just get worse and worse . Levy is about the lowest life form on this planet. He is the sole problem at moment

  2. BlueOne
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Begovic

    Moreno Clyne Duff Wisdom Moore

    DiMaria Fab Boyd Sterling Siggy

    Aguero Costa Pelle

    Got 2 FT...How can I fit in Baines ready for Evertons nice run?

    DiMaria to Chadli then a 4.0 to Baines?

    1. MJ6987
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Lol no

      1. zuzuViking
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Hell no.

        Aguero will be injured, thus solving your problem.

        1. BlueOne
          12 years, 1 month ago

          I'm keeping Sergio. Never been in the position of not being able to use 2 free transfers. Feel like I'm wasting them by not using them.

  3. Jeremiah
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Any ideas for this bunch?

    Mannone - Krul
    Moreno - Clyne - Naylor - Moore - Wisdom
    Fab - Hendo - Siggy - Ramsey - Marney
    Balo - Aguero - Costa

    Cheers 🙂

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

      Ball Hendo and Moreno outin that order

      12 years, 1 month ago

      Ramsey -> Tadic, if it's just 1 FT

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

        Oh and this

        For a wc left?

    2. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Getting rid of Ramsey is a no-brainer. Silva is a great option

  4. GK
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone care to share the best price rise website? I was having a moan about Aguero's rise this morning and Trigger mentioned I was looking on the wrong price change website but never said where was better than fiso. any help chats?

    1. GK
      12 years, 1 month ago

      *chaps

      12 years, 1 month ago

      the others are totalfpl and fplstatistics, but you cant rely on either.

  5. lequipebleu1314
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Who should I bench for this GW?

    A)Baines
    B) Moreno
    C)Moore
    D)N Taylor

    1. lequipebleu1314
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Inclined towards N Taylor. Suggestions?

    2. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Flip a coin b/w Naylor and Moore

      1. _nod
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Wouldn't bench Moore against Burnley.

    3. _nod
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Moreno or Taylor

      1. lequipebleu1314
        12 years, 1 month ago

        same dilemma. leaning towards Moreno..

        Taylor or Moore?

        1. _nod
          12 years, 1 month ago

          play Moore, Burnley can't score.

        2. lequipebleu1314
          12 years, 1 month ago

          i think i ll go with Moore. Burnley wont score. Pardew's job is on the line so can expect desperate attacking football from New Castle

    4. Kerz
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Moore

  6. Shakshuka
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Anybody worried about captaining Costa? Didnt Mourinho say he'd only play one game per week... Can't see him benched against Arsenal tho just a little confused as to why he played the full 90 in midweek i guess.

    1. lequipebleu1314
      12 years, 1 month ago

      mind games. he ll play at least 60 mins if Chelsea are leading..

  7. The Mighty I
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Does Rooney and Terry > Aguero and Wilson seem like a wise transfer for a 4 point hit?

    1. lequipebleu1314
      12 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. Kerz
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Good move

    3. The Mighty I
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cheers

  8. Whazza
    12 years, 1 month ago

    People saying form over fixtures, anyone captaining Welbeck?

    1. lequipebleu1314
      12 years, 1 month ago

      No. Chelsea won't let him score. he ll probably blank. was gonna bench him before his hatty.. Now gonna play him considering his form

      1. Whazza
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Who are you benching over him?

        1. lequipebleu1314
          12 years, 1 month ago

          N Taylor

          1. Whazza
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Makes sense.

            1. lequipebleu1314
              12 years, 1 month ago

              Looking at Swansea vs New Castle head to head stats at the liberty stadium, reconsidering N Taylor. arggg 1-0, 3-0

              dont know if Benching N Taylor is a good idea.

              my Defense

              Baines Moreno Moore N Talyor.. Should I play all 4? and bench Tadic. Currently top leading my mini league and dont want to lose ground..

  9. _nod
    12 years, 1 month ago

    So Naismith > Welbeck a good move or too Jerky?

    Team is:

    Begovic
    Clyne // van Aanholt // Moore
    Fábregas // Sigurdsson // Sterling // Di Maria
    Naismith // Diego Costa // Agüero

    Gilks // Duff // Ince // Wisdom

    1. XhakaCan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Good move

      1. _nod
        12 years, 1 month ago

  11. Oh Dier what Can the Mata b…
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Hi all,
    thoughts on this WC team? Looking to activate it next week.

    Adrian Manonne

    Baines Ivan Bertrand Moore Duff

    Sterling Silva Fab Siggy Boyd

    Pelle Costa Welbeck

    Will prob look to switch either Sterling or Silva to Walcott if and when he come abck and comes good.
    Thoughts on keepers?
    0.9itb.
    Cheers.

    1. Oh Dier what Can the Mata b…
      12 years, 1 month ago

      will also be monitoring Siggy this weekend with Chadli and Mane as alternative options. What say you?

    2. lequipebleu1314
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I would bring in Kun on WC

      1. Oh Dier what Can the Mata b…
        12 years, 1 month ago

        yeah thinking about it, but completely wipes out balance of team. would like him though.

        would mean:
        clyne
        mane
        aguero

        instead of:
        baines
        silva
        pelle

    3. Holy See
      12 years, 1 month ago

      If you downgrade Adrian to a 4.5, you can upgrade Moore or Duff to a Chambers/Naylor/Wilson type. If you were into that sort of thing.

      1. Oh Dier what Can the Mata b…
        12 years, 1 month ago

        thanks. Naylor and Chambers are in my thinking. Adrian has good fixtures incoming though plus with Baines Ivan and Bertie I can't see myself benching them too often to need a 4.5 def. Might downgrade one of Baines or Ivan to to them though to free funds for Kun.

    4. A guy
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Cork is a better option than Boyd, maybe even Isgrove, because you're not playing those players anyway. He's the cheapest midfielder and you never know when you're going to need that 0.1pt.

      1. Oh Dier what Can the Mata b…
        12 years, 1 month ago

        yeah I had him initially but would rather keep that 3rd saints spot for clyne, bertie, tadic, mane or pelle. so many great saints options again this season.

  12. boyler
    12 years, 1 month ago

    tadic, silva, or siggy ?

    1. Oh Dier what Can the Mata b…
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going with Silva and Siggy, but have Pelle for Saints cover.

    2. XhakaCan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Tadic

    3. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Silva

    4. zuzuViking
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Silva if yo cannot make good value of the spare cash

    5. lequipebleu1314
      12 years, 1 month ago

      silva. not sure who to pick between tadic and siggy but considering tadic is on for set pieces, I might just play him

    6. Hiphopopotamus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Tadic

    12 years, 1 month ago

    Any United fans care to share their thoughts on the line up this weekend? 🙂

    Surprise picks? Alternative formations? Change of roles?

    1. Grubby
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Blackett will be back and Matalan will replace Rooney. That's pretty much it

        12 years, 1 month ago

        What about Herrera's replacement?

    2. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Mata could be a differential

      P.S: I'm not a utd supporter

    3. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      12 years, 1 month ago

      DDG

      Rafael/Rojo/Carrick/Shaw

      Di Maria/Blind/Fletcher/Mata

      Rvp/Falcao

        12 years, 1 month ago

        Blind
        Fletcher ADM
        Mata?

        1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, I'd have thought so.

            12 years, 1 month ago

            Just seen Carrick? 😯 He isn't even fit? 😕 Blackett surely...

      1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Fellaini for Fletcher IMO

        1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Also--Don't think Carrick will play in CB

      2. Grubby
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Carrick won't start in defence. Not a chance under LVG

        1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Alright mate, calm down. It was only a suggestion.

    4. Les Bleus
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Blackett replaces McNair, Mata instead of Rooney and Valencia instead of Herrara

      1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Tony V might feel exposed in the center of midfield and spend the entire game running to the touchline

    5. zuzuViking
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Of course Mata will be significantly more prone the next few weeks. Fletcher is probably in, but is no fantasy prospect. LVG might do Januzaj instead, would be a punt tho. Fellaini could surprise start on Saturday, but that would be a silly punt to try. McNair will probably start again, offering great price, but for no show as United WILL conceive (assuming Jones doesnt make it)

  13. Grubby
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Does Zaha to Moses for a 4 point hit seem like a good idea (I don't feel the need to take a hit though)

    1. XhakaCan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Moses has a slight injury so I wouldnt

    3. A guy
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you even consider that? 🙂

  14. The-Best
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I think Mourinho said he struggles with 2 games a week! I think he will be definitely be benched for this gw with him coming on if required! I will certainly be benching this gw!

    1. Les Bleus
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Good luck with that!

    12 years, 1 month ago

    Lloris again! 😯 Storm-errrr.

  15. Bubz
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Keepers have been incredible

    1. Holy See
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Doris is exceptional.

  16. AlCapwnUK
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Lloris is too good for Spurs if they don't secure CL football, and Chelsea were right to let Ba go

  17. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Adebayor hasn't put a foot wrong since coming on.

  18. Hiphopopotamus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Evening lads. I reckon i'll stick a City player in (next week). Haven't got room for Kun and don't like their midfield. Is Zab a good pick do we think?

      12 years, 1 month ago

      No, personally. Expensive and potential for Sagna rotation.

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

        Ooooooh, didn't realise he wasn't nailed on. Cheers Pellè.

          12 years, 1 month ago

          He'll play most I guess, but I think it might be a little bit similar to Clichy/Kolarov. Not nailed on enough for that price.

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

            Yeah, needs to be like banged in like Baines at that price. Cheers.

              12 years, 1 month ago

              Spot on.

    1. @Talk_Shite
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Zab might get you the odd assist but is a YC-magnet. Will be suspended/benched due to accumulation sooner or later.

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

        Thanks Butters. Looks like Zab is't the way forward then. Back to the drawing board...

  19. The Mighty I
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Given the choice would you prefer Sterling or Walcott (when fit)
    Bearing in mind that either one would be your only coverage from Pool/Arsenal

    1. Les Bleus
      12 years, 1 month ago

      My ideal midfield would be ADM Sterling Wally Siggy

      1. Les Bleus
        12 years, 1 month ago

        But if I had to pick: Wally

    2. Frank Black
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Both.

        12 years, 1 month ago

        this.

      1. johnbarnes
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard Sterling Wally Siggy is the stuff dreams are made of.

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

      Sterling for Pool cover (and Wellbeck for Arsenal)

  20. BlueOne
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Bench Clyne (tot) or Duff (lei)?

    1. _nod
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'm torn on this one, currently have Duff on the bench.

    2. lequipebleu1314
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Duff

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

      I've got Berti and Duff. Playing Berti.

    4. XhakaCan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Tricky, Duff by a whisker.

  21. Cars and Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Start PVA or Moore?

    1. XhakaCan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      PvA

    2. lequipebleu1314
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Moore

    3. Kerz
      12 years, 1 month ago

      PvA

    4. _nod
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Moore or both.

    5. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Nice and evenly split. Back to the drawing board. Cheers lads

      1. _nod
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Burnley have only scored one goal all season, seems crazy not to play Moore.

        1. Cars and Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Leicester have conceded the most shots in the box in the league. Its a tough call. PVA also gives goal threat...

    6. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Moore

  22. Game of Stones
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Begovic
    N Taylor - Moore - Bertrand (Clyne, Janmaat)
    Sterling - Fabregas - Siggy - Di Maria (Zaha)
    Aguero - Ulloa - Costa

    Have decided to bench Clyne over Bertrand.
    Good to go lads? 😀

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Same position but am playing both SOU fullbacks.

      Living on the edge I tell you

      1. Game of Stones
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Tempted to do the same, but just can't get myself to bench Moore or Taylor with the games they've got

  23. another bad start
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Right peeps the burning question, a 4.5ish mid that wen I need him can get me those precious 2points

      12 years, 1 month ago

      Boyd's the best right now.

      1. another bad start
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Currently at 880, just had a quick peep at who the top cats have and if they've gone down the cheap 5th mid option, Boyd is in a fair few teams at the top

    1. XhakaCan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Boyd

    2. A guy
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I prefer Cork or even Isgrove for 4.3, I'll probably never need those players.

      1. another bad start
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Had Pelle for 2week now n getting shut of Schneider cuz he's been on the bench since n don't want 2 saints

  24. laGan1n1
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Icardi (c)!

  25. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Is it crazy to bring Bertrand in for Janmaat this GW?

    Rest of team is:

    Mannone

    Moreno - Wilson - ?

    Fab - Siggy - ADM - Sterling

    Welbeck - Costa - Pelle

    B: Özil (yep), Duff, Wisdom, Krul

    I got 2 FT, but I don't wanna do them both before the intl break.

    1. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      And i don't wanna let a transfer go to waste

    2. Keyser Jose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      do it

  26. XhakaCan
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Play Wilson or Duff?

    1. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'm doing Wilson

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Wilson

    3. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Wilson

  27. Arsenals Number 19. Santi C…
    12 years, 1 month ago

    A ) Falcao / Chester to Sturridge / Moore

    or

    B ) Falcao / Erikssen to Aguero / Mid < 6.7

    1. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      B

      Sturridge is a risky move

      12 years, 1 month ago

      Too early for Studge. Too early to sell Falcao.

      1. Arsenals Number 19. Santi C…
        12 years, 1 month ago

        His fixtures are bad though. Studge likely only to miss one game at most

    2. A guy
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Don't kick Falcao out for a hit, he's had 2 assists in 2 games might score soon.
