After the best Gameweek tally in living memory, I reserve the right for a bit of a gloat. Having risked the Wildcard back in Gameweek 7, the stars aligned and everything fell into place last weekend, leaving my ScoutCast co-host, grumpy Granville, grabbing at straws and smashing TV sets in frustration.

After last season’s defeat, I revel in my moment of glory but still find time to lock horns with Granville over the great Costa debate. Is Jose playing with our minds? I certainly think so but, as Granville points out, I reckon the Lunar landings were fake. I love a good conspiracy, me.

Congratulate yourself via this link or bask in smugness via the handy player below…

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

  1. Mr. Jenkins
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Begovic (Heaton)

    Ivan, Baines, Fonte (Moore, McShane)

    ADM, Sterling, Hazard, Tadic (Williams)

    Pelle, Falcao, Aguero

    Willing to take a punt, i am thinking of removing ADM, Falcao and Bego

    For Lloris, Chadli and a striker

    1. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Fal yes; ADM no. Ivan -> Hutton.

      1. Mr. Jenkins
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        That is also an oppertunity. Will wait till the press conferences witht he transfer of adm

    Asked about his lack of celebration, the Spurs manager said: "I only show emotion at home, and in my bed."

    🙂

      11 years, 5 months ago

      a good comment, would've also been good if he'd said, 'Celebrate? He's lucky I didn't sub him off immediately for such flagrant showboating!'

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        To be honest, he only did that because he is so one-footed.

        1. pompeyfan
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          true! Baggio's in Italia 90 was better anyway!

  3. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Wonder if Costa could drop again tonight, or tomorrow night?

    1. MG7
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      if i drop costa who shud i consider other than aguero?

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        The same as me, Evs and TriggerLips have done.

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      It would take an exodus the size of which has never been seen before to drop again tonight. I think he's done dropping in price for the gameweek.

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Mind you, a lot of people do their business on Friday night / Sat morning. You are probably right though.

    3. QPR expects... glory!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Certainly hope so! Another two drops and we'll be able to buy him back at the price we sold him for 🙂

    4. Waldaz
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Probably tomorrow, as the threshold changes.

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Does it change?

        1. Waldaz
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Should do: new gameweek, original threshold. If there aren't good news today, that is.

  4. YuvalSpurs
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I need some help please:

    Heaton (Myhill)
    Cahill-Clyne-Chambers-(Wisdom/Moore)
    ADM-Siggy-Eriksen-Sterling (El Ahmadi)
    Aguero-Pelle-Costa

    What is the best option( 1FT 0.0 ITB)

    1)Just Costa to > Welbeck/Berahino

    2)Costa > Welbeck/Berahino
    +
    Cahill >Baines (-4)

    3)Costa >Naismith
    +
    El Ahmadi > Fabregas/Hazard (3-5-2)
    (-4)

    1. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Wait till we know more about Costa. If inj, Costa->Welbeck.

      Vlyne

    • 15 Years

    (and save other FT)

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      he has already dropped now. if you have a decent bench option then i would keep costa

      1. MG7
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        i have naismith as my first bench option....is it ok or get rid of costa

      2. ManTree(v2!) or just JAY!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        bench is albrighton/PvA/moore

  8. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Guzan / McCarthy

    Baines, Ivan, Clyne (Moore, Duff)

    Eriksen, Sterling, Siggy, Fabregas (Boyd)

    Pelle (VC), Welbeck, Aguero (C)

    Looking alright for the gameweek? Not sure who to captain..

    1. Redhulkster
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      M captaining pelle 😀

  9. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    It would be funny if Costa is declared fit today

    1. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No it wouldn't

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Jose would only say Costa was fit, if he wasnt

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          This

        2. MJ6987
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          This!

        3. FISSH
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          so that means... he is fit!

          1. mookie
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            nice one

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't surprise me if he's pictured indulging in a bit of horseplay with Cesc in training today.

    3. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Would make my month!

  10. Costa Nostra
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    "A fool and his Costa are easily parted"

    -Andre Wisdom I believe said that......

    1. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I believe that was King Lear, I pray.

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I have sold but I think his replacement will out score him this week, then I could bring him back next week.

  11. goneill79
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    is being a member worthwhile?

    1. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      It can be. Some on here are suffering from analysis paralysis and relying too much on stats.

    2. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      if you like stats, and tables, and comparing players, and spending a lot of time on fantasy football

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Worth it for the season ticker alone.

  12. ManTree(v2!) or just JAY!
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    what time is chelsea/mourinho press conference?

  13. Reckoner.
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    van Aanholt, Di Maria & Costa > Baines, Hazard & Pelle (-4)?

    will leave me with Fabregas, Hazard & Terry for Chelsea.

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      looks decent

    2. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Bit hasty getting rid of ADM, but yeah, good

      1. Reckoner.
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I know, I'd rather I could make it Sterling instead but can't quite do it. A doubt (although I think he will be fine) and 2 tough fixtures is kind of convincing me.

        Falling behind in my ML so need to do something.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          CPL ars STK HUL coming up in a couple of weeks though...How will you feel then ?

          1. Reckoner.
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Probably happy in not having an injury prone striker in the knowledge of having Fabregas & Hazard to somewhat cover any potential Costa points.

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Crossed wires...Those are United's fixtures coming up after the next two tough ones...I was referring to ADM not Costa.

              1. Reckoner.
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                Ah yes, it is a worry but I will probably look at getting him back in for those fixtures.

    3. The class of 92
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Wait a week to do the ADM > Hazard part

  14. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 16 Years

    Wow!!! Unbelievable tekkers

      Brilliant!

    2. A.T

      He'll always be a legend in my eyes

    3. EatsOwls
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      HA HA HAAHAHA...HAHAHA. I found that way funnier than I should have.

      1. mookie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        +1

  15. galway77
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    B great if Costa was fit and Aguero gets a 15min cameo scoring 2 points as captain.... now that wud b funny

    1. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      U can't afford Aguero, can U?

  16. Super Silva
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone who has sold Costa without having full confirmation from Chelsea is crazy imo.
    gonna be a headache to get him back in. I personally think he will be on the bench on Sunday and will be ripping it up next week against Qpr. Most of us have Wisdom as first Sub and I would happy with a west brom clean sheet.
    Tbh I can't see Costa scoring more than 1 goal against United anyway. Don't sell him bench him.

    1. MG7
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      i have too many doubtful players...adm, ramsey, costa.....hoping 2 of them start.

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I am crazy

    3. Sheriff Roary
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      If costa plays I can see him going goal mad against a dodgy utd defence

    4. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      why are they crazy? most sold him for Aguero/Pelle
      why bench him?

      p.s. i still have him

    5. Gunner HitIT
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      you would never get full confimation from Chelsea or the only one.

    6. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      While I support the view..
      Throwing around terms like crazy here aren't any use.

      Been called crazy here a few times and it can backfire.

      We ll only know if keeping him or offloading was the right move down the road.
      No one can tell for sure yet..and then course there are a million permutations with each team too.

      Keeping or Selling will prob both be right depending on our teams.
      lovely amd diplomatic today.

      1. Super Silva
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Ok maybe crazy was not the right word to use.
        but I do think it's a bad move.
        Costa has had a good break and am sure Mourinho will confirm tthat he will be available for the United game !

  17. oscardo
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    so a injury prone Hull team, could liverpool win big on saturday? Sterling as a striker? Captain pick?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He has been my captain all week.

      1. oscardo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, I was looking into your stats about defences Doosra, tempting to go Sterling (C) , but liverpool seems so out of form?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          They are. But remember - football is a funny old game ... 😉

    2. A.T
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Vc for me. Exiting times though if he's playing upfront.

      1. oscardo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Last week i went Aguero(C), not feeling it against WHU, also its the early kick off.. again :p

  18. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    This is my team :

    Foster Schmeichel
    Ivanovic Baines Bertrand Hutton Duff
    ADM Sterling Siggy Tadic Downing
    Costa welbeck pelle

    Thinking of:
    A) welbeck, adm,Ivanovic - aguero, Eriksen,Wisdom (-4)
    B) welbeck, adm - aguero,boyd
    C) costa, ivan - aguero, Wisdom
    D) costa, adm - aguero, oscar

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      D), of those, imo.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 15 Years

          Well, those would be my moves, but I only have one free transfer.

    2. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      C for me. I don't see the point in removing ADM or Welbeck. Wel is next best after CPA.

      C

        D but with eriksen not oscar

      11 years, 5 months ago

      C.
      The reason is that A and B in the long run are very wrong.
      I can;t imagine for example aguero outscorinig the sum of welbeck + ADM points...

      also D is risky.If you think CHE have tough fixtures to remove Ivan, then why buy oscar (rotation risk)?

    How about these moves?

    GW9: Ulloa > Berahino

    GW10: ADM > Hazard

    Another Scoutcast mention 😎

    Has anyone done any loan arrangements in UFPL yet? Guess there haven't been too many high profile/long term injuries yet to force people's hands.

      47th is great, congrats 🙂

      1. MJ6987

        He's a run of the mill fantasy manager

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          As evidenced by my FPL rank 😆

      2. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers - steady progress but I'm behind the sofa every time Man City and Man Utd play given my lack of Aguero/di Maria/Rooney/Falcao... Hoping I can keep a decent rank until the transfer window opens again and then reassess 🙂

    2. Damo.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I did Rooney to Lukaku for 4wks there when he was banned. Thought it'd be better to bring him back for Palace at home rather than the derby.

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Aha, interesting - has that worked out for you do you think? I feel that the points it costs you make it pretty hard to make the value back but I might be wrong.

        1. Damo.
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          It's hard to tell really, well I just haven't bothered working it out. i suppose i would''ve been playing Ulloa or Naismith so maybe it will. 1 more goal over the next 2 should make more than it cost me but not sure if just playing one of my subs would've been better.

          1. GreenWindmill
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah, that's the main difference in UFPL - the number of alternatives you already have for free without having to bring a new face in. That's what makes me think I'm unlikely to use the loan system unless I have a serious injury crisis.

            Interesting to here a first hand assessment though - cheers 🙂

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Did I get one for leading the Member's league? It's only myself and Mark, but still 😛

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Seriously?! Haha, that's brilliant! No, I suspect even Mark has forgotten about that!

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Haha, yeah. He made a member's league so I entered it, suspecting that at some stage he'd put the code in the member's area, but he hasn't.

          1. GreenWindmill
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Keep quiet about it and then have bragging rights forever at the end of the season - 2014/15 UFPL FFS Member Champion 😎

            1. Billy Gilmore
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              I don't need to be quiet about it when I win the overall game 😉

              1. GreenWindmill
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                Ha, good luck with that, I'd be really pleased if a regular on here won it. Although my Walcott differential comes into play next week - beware!

    4. QPR expects... glory!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yes! And it was a disaster. Ramsey went down so I swapped him for 4 weeks at a cost of 10 pts for Ozil. You know the rest...

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Oof, glad I decided to just leave Ramsey to rot in the reserves!

    Wise words, as always from Wakey, there.

    I think I may need a personal medical certificate from Costa, before I get him back.

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Well...what are you waiting for? Go and hassle the hell out of him to see if he'll play. 😉

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        He won't. Maybe in a couple of weeks ... 🙂

      Which would you rather have for this gw?

      A - Hazard
      B - Eirksen

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Eriksen of those two. 🙂

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Thanks and get Hazard next week for Siggi sounds like a plan right

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years

            Mmm. Not for me at the moment, that one. Oscar, perhaps.

        True, though. 🙂

  22. Cturner14

    Guys my current team is.

    Krul/mannone
    Taylor, bertrand,wisdom,hutton,ward
    Sterling,farbregas,silva,downing,diame
    Costa,aguero,welbeck.

    I have 2 ft's.

    Do i,

    1, switch downing for noble so i can shift ward and get jagielka?
    2, get rid of ward and silva so i can have baines which leaves me with £7.3 m for midfielder
    3, just leave it?

    Not interesting in selling costa atm.

    1. Redhulkster
      • 12 Years

      2 and get mane

  23. S.Kuqi

    Pretty happy with my team. Going to West Ham- City game as a neutral supporter and not sure should I cheer for my fpl captain or not 🙂

    Krulliot

  24. pax888

    So who's bringing in Harry Kane at a ripe 4.8m?

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Poch has a selection headache now!

      1. pax888
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        What's the headache? His other 2 strikers are hardly performing at the moment.

  25. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    It must be weird being Mourinho - if everything you say gets interpreted as mind games, and therefore becomes mind games - how do you have a normal conversation or ask someone to pass you the salt

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      "Do you really want me to pass you the salt? Or are you saying that the dish is already too salty? Or is it the pepper you are really after? You don't fool me Jose!"

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        mind games!

    2. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Haha his wife must have a hard time with it.

    3. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'm pretty good at reading people's intentions by their facial expressions and body language, even if I say so myself. I reckon I'd be able to tell whether he really wants the salt or not.

  26. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone who is getting rid of Ivanovic this week, is missing the bigger picture, imo.

    1. Your Mum Zohore
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Want to get him in my team, can only do it if I drop Costa...

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I sold Costa on Monday ... 🙂

        1. Your Mum Zohore
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          I would love to that, it would help my defense out so much!

    2. Redhulkster
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Totally agreed
      But benching him this week with Bert clyne baines starting..

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Wow. He is the first name on my team sheet ...

    3. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I hope him to get goal and assist again.

    4. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He will massacre United's defence in the air and bully Luke Shaw. I'm with you on this.

  27. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Don't normally like asking for other people to do my transfers for me, but what do you think I should do with this?

    Forster // Elliot
    Bertrand // Naylor // PVA // Wisdom // Hutton
    ADM // Fábregas // Sterling // Sigurdsson // Marney
    Agüero // Costa // Welbeck

    1.1ITB, 1FT

    Considering Costa and PVA to Pelle and Baines for a template move.

    1. Redhulkster
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      That move would b awesome

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Great move but it will most likely cost you two hits (-8)

      1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        How so? Have more than enough to do it this week, do you mean to get Costa back?

        1. MJ6987
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          A hit this week (as you only have 1 FT) and another one to get him back unless you lose Kun

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Jolly good, but leave Baines until next week.

      1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers Doos, I guess my cheap defenders have a good chance of a CS so I meed Baines to get attacking returns to justify the hit.

    4. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Save the FT. Your team looks very strong for this week and you will almost certainly gain ground. Next week Costa is overwhelmingly likely to be back (don't listen to those who think he won't play even if he's fit).

      1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks, nice to get a different type of opinion.

        If I can holt on to him, having those big 4 mids as well as Aguero and Costa could be a major differential. No Baines is the only worry.

        1. Baines on Toast...
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Baines would be good to have, but in a week when you have three strong DF fixtures I don't think it's a priority. I have Baines as he's an FPL favourite of my, and I have Ivan, but it means Aguero and Costa together is a pipe dream 😀

  28. Redhulkster
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Have a feeling
    Aguero will do well
    Costa will start...
    But pelle will outscore both of them...

    So pelle (c)
    Anyone else taking a chance ?

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Just to warn you that almost always after a game like that last GW was,for South,comes game with max 2 goals
      Not that thats a rule,but a big possibilitty

    2. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Stoke don't feel like the sort of team Pelle will thrive against tbh.

  29. JJO
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    So Costa fall last night
    That just means saving FT this week for me

  30. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    George Boyd, this is your chance to shine - again

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'd be glad if he scored another goal this game week. 🙂
