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.

    Fab -> Oscar to fund Moreno -> Baines ?

    Probably not this week, but next.

      Very good! 🙂

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

        Thanks. 🙂

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

      Big tick...Fab is obviously a great pick but Oscar plus Baines trumps it.

  2. EatsOwls

    11 years, 5 months ago

    Want to replace Cahill, who can I bring in? preferable a bit cheaper so can spend elsewhere..

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

      Clyne
      Bertrand
      Or
      Hutton

      Cresswells a good bet after city

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

    Who still have Costa ? 🙂

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

      I missed the drop, I already have Aguero and can't get Pelle (have 3 soton) so couldn't decide on a replacement

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I have. Not selling although he is out of the week

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

      Yep.

    4. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I didnt wanted Pelle despite i only have Clyne from s'oton 🙂
      Still have faith in Costa 🙂

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

        I have faith in him if only if he plays!

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

          He will 100% for QPR, maybe 30 minutes against utd

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

      Me, but only because I haven't been able to make changes all week. Will just wait to see any news from the presser until I decide now.

      Sterling to Walcott on the horizon

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

        Need to give him a few games I reckon before considering him.

    4. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years

      Sticky incoming for you...

    5. Sunny 😎

    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    0FT. 0.4 ITB. Azpilicueta and Costa > Chambers and Aguero for -8 worth it? Leaves me w/0.0 ITB, so have to do it now before Aguero rises again.. Cheers!

    Begovic
    Taylor Clyne Baines
    Di María Sterling Fábregas Sigurdsson
    Pellè Welbeck Costa
    Subs: Albrighton Dummett Azpilicueta

    1. Redhulkster
      • 12 Years

      Do it

  6. La vida FPL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Who should I draft in this week:

    A) Chadli & Moore
    B) Diame & Chambers

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

      B IMO
      Hull are scoring
      And tbh eriksen will b spurs guy imo

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

    Repost
    Lost on last page

    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. Rödallegabomb á´¿á´®
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      If I get him I probably will. Aguero doesn't too too well away from home.

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

        Ty rb
        Have read ur opinions..
        They seem rational so m going with pelle (c)
        At least 1 sane person agrees

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

      Certainly thinking about it. Will check the stats a bit later though.

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

        Ty van
        Pelle (c) is set

    3. Hammers Select
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Baines (C)

    Wenger on Koscielny: "I cannot give you any date. I hope he will be available after the next international break" http://t.co/DBwnLovI06

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

      Bad news for Chambers?

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        No, he'll play right back.

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

          He means clean sheet potential ofc

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

          I mean his chances of any clean sheets if that other clown is playing CB

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            O right, yeh, no Kos means we cant defend. Just have to hope our midfield can defend through territory and possession.

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

        Why?

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

    So Ramsey only actually missed one game in the end - didn't expect that.

    1. King Nil Miss ✩
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Was a timely sale though.

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

        Sure, he was leaking ownership anyway, still feel a bit mugged by him somehow.

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

      Yeah, was surprised when I saw Zep still had him, thinking he'd been out for weeks...

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

        And the game he missed was away to Chelsea - hardly a game you wish he was available for. If he kicks back into gear that's going to look very smart from Zep.

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

    @Triggerlips

    Are you still set on your Moreno > Baines (ruling out a Costa return without a hit or losing Aguero)?

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

      ...I guess he's departed....

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

    So Costa fall last night
    That just means saving FT this week for me
    Uhhhhh especially with these Wally news
    2FTs here I come 🙂

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

      This ! 😀

  12. King Nil Miss ✩
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Does Kane get CS and penalty points now?

  13. Whazza
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    2 FTs and 1 million in the bank. Tips? Keeping Costa.

    Krul Elliot
    Ivan Bertrand Naylor Chester Moore
    Siggy Tadic Sterling Eriksen Marney
    Pelle Costa Kun

    Currently leaning towards Elliot->Foster, to give me a nice Krul Foster-rotation.

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

      Chester to Hutton

      Villa fixtures get better
      Hull are entertaining but no cs potential

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

        Might do that next week. Will have to FTs if only fix keepers this week 🙂

  14. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    @Arsenal: Wenger: "Until now we have been consistent with our performances but not efficient enough defensively or offensively" #SFCvAFC

    What does this mean? We have been good, although we cant score or defend... wtf?

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

      You've been consistently average, offensively and defensively.

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Wenger has lost it

      1. Gr3g
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Long time ago... For the sake of this team, he needs to go! I'm not even their fan

    3. Gr3g
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Consistent rubbish from players and crap talk from Wenger 🙂

  15. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Any PS4 owners? Does anyone know why the controller isn't charging in standby mode while being plugged into the console?

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

      buy a stand alone charger. I paid 14.99 for one on amazon and haven't looked back. It is hopeless using the console.

      It's a little stand that holds 2 controllers and plugs into the mains. Its ideal and charges in no time

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

      Settings -> Power Save Settings -> Set Functions Available in Standby Mode -> Check the checkbox for Supply Power from USB Ports

      That should do it.

    3. DRY PEANUT
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      What was wrong with the wired ones? Nobody plays the game in another room.

      Just another way of making money

  16. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Anybody know who rotates well with Hutton and Wisdom and is on the cheap side?

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

      burnley defender.

    2. Hammers Select
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Robertson from Hull

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

    Is it worth -4 to get Baines for Moreno?

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

      worth -12

    2. Hammers Select
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No brainer, give him the armband

    3. Game of Stones

    Thoughts? 2 FT.

    1. Rödallegabomb á´¿á´®

      PVA to Alcaraz

    2. Darbs
      • 14 Years

      Look at losing Begovic and/or PvA, depending how much money you've got to spend. The rest looks good!

        Can't see him starting...

  22. Darbs
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Got £15.4m to spend on a defender and a forward (already got Costa and Aguero, don't want Pelle)...

    A) Coleman and Berahino
    B) Coleman and Welbeck
    C) Jagielka and Lukaku
    D) Something else

    Favouring A as a short-term gamble that also allows me to bring in Ramsey/Walcott for Sigurdsson over the next week or two.

    Should I drop the idea of getting Chambers in on my WC this week as Kosc has been ruled out till next international break which usually means more with Arsenal..

    Play Chambers, Hutton or Moore?

    Kos injured so Arsenal CS look unlikely but then again, they play Sunderland.

      They have to bounce back though, would play Hutton.

        Am thinking in these terms as well..
