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.

    LOL. Comedy Store at WHL.

      12 years, 10 days ago

      Gotta give it to Kane, he's desperate to impress...

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Net two goals?

    1. Screaming Midget
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Will there be highlights on any channel of Spurs and Everton?

      1. A guy
        12 years, 10 days ago

        footyroom has them.

    12 years, 10 days ago

    FYI.... Eriksen playing centrally, Chadli playing from the left.

    Both came on at the same time, so clearly that's Poch's preference right now..

    1. FISSH
      12 years, 10 days ago

      glad I got Eriksen in then!

        12 years, 10 days ago

        'from the left' is very different to 'on the left', mind you.

  2. waltzingmatildas
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Right, thinking of Costa and adm to aguero and oscar

    Look ok!

    1. Screaming Midget
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I'm bringing in Oscar next GW for Sterling as things stand.

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Kane an option for GK?

    3. FISSH
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I wanted Oscar, but went for Eriksen, awesome fixtures

      1. rickardinho
        12 years, 10 days ago

        After GW9 I'd say Oscar has the better fixtures.

        Eriksen: avl STO hul EVE che
        Oscar: QPR liv WBA sun TOT

        Those Spurs fixtures all look better on paper than they really are imo. And if you've got a 5th mid like Downing capable of covering Oscar in GW11 (I have Downing VIL) then he's clearly the best choice.

        Besides, why would you choose Eriksen when you can get Chadli much cheaper who effectively plays as a striker?!

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      A serious question.

      Why is there now much interest in Oscar?
      Just curious.

      1. rickardinho
        12 years, 10 days ago

        its telling that you haven't seen stat tables

  3. Woy of the Wovers
    12 years, 10 days ago

    So @Mark. What's your favourite conspiracy theory?

    1. Somalion
      12 years, 10 days ago

      That I'm actually Luke's Mother.

      😯

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        12 years, 10 days ago

        So you had sex with Vader?

        1. Somalion
          12 years, 10 days ago

          With myself 😯

          1. Woy of the Wovers
            12 years, 10 days ago

            We know this already. 😆 Apart from the birth thing 🙂

            1. Somalion
              12 years, 10 days ago

              It was a terribly gruesome affair, couldn't fit back into my body armour for months 😥

    2. Jay_
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Princess Diana 'accident '

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Which one is that? Is that the one where Philip had Dodi and Diana assassinated?

        1. Jay_
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Yep

          1. Woy of the Wovers
            12 years, 10 days ago

            And yet we know that she was surrounded by paparazzi. One of them would have said something/posted on internet. No way they could have all been silenced. Probability factor 0.01%

    3. Granville

      12 years, 10 days ago

      Paul is dead.

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Admittedly, the Apostle Paul is dead. FACT.

      2. Somalion
        12 years, 10 days ago

        That's a good one alright.

    4. Somalion
      12 years, 10 days ago

      J.K. Rowling is actually a collection of authors and is played by an actress.

      Shakespeare's works were actually that of either Francis Bacon or Queen Elizabeth the 1st.

      Hilarious one is that Stephen King actually killed John Lennon 😆

      1. Somalion
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Oh and that George Bush and many celebrities are actually Lizard People (reckon that's Needlevor's favourite one though).

        Flouridation is one my brother believes in and he wont drink tap water

        1. The 12th Man
          12 years, 10 days ago

          That comment reminds me of Dr Strangelove.

        2. Somalion
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Wow, really? I mean I do think that fluoride is in an awful lot of stuff these days so possibly isn't as absolutely necessary as it was but I don't think anything of it!

    5. Godfather Bandit 42
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Lone gunman killed Kennedy.....

    6. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Dorrito's are an illuminati advertising ploy. 😀

      The King is alive

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

        So is Tupac

    8. Godfather Bandit 42
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Secret microphones/cameras in all new televisions....

    9. Essan
      12 years, 10 days ago

      All hurricanes which hit the USA are caused by HAARP and Chemtrails.

      Only those that do not hit the USA are natural

      😀

  4. Count of Monte Hristo
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Kane has been watching footage of Mannone at the weekend

  5. Jay_
    12 years, 10 days ago

    If that was a FPL situation , would Kane be scored for points like saves etc ?.

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      No chance of that!!

      But yes, he would.

    12 years, 10 days ago

    Just realised why Kane went in goal...... got the captain's armband too! 😛

  6. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Thinking of bringing in Danny Rose, how bad are Tots right now?

    Any other defender in that 5 mill bracket worth a punt? Jagielka since Baines is unaffordable?

  7. Little Lukin
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Kane in goal is hilarious

    1. The Hound
      12 years, 10 days ago

      I don't see the funny side.....

  8. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    So if Kane concedes another, it's -1 for him?

    (not that I play Europa League)

    1. 420king
      12 years, 10 days ago

      😀

      1. 420king
        12 years, 10 days ago

        I'm guessing its not, because it only matters where he is listed in the game, not where he actually plays

  9. d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Thinking of doing Fabregas -> Eriksen. Bound to end in tears right?

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Right 🙂

      1. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Im trying to avoid the template as much s possible this season 😮

          12 years, 10 days ago

          I like your style! 🙂 Costa-gate is making me feel like that.

          1. d1sable
            • Has Moderation Rights
            12 years, 10 days ago

            Yeah im glad that drama hasen't touched my team.

              12 years, 10 days ago

              Non-owner? 😯 That is non-template. Cant argue with that rank though! 🙂

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Thing is the template is usually there or there abouts (ask Jonty 😉 )

          1. d1sable
            • Has Moderation Rights
            12 years, 10 days ago

            I know i normally template it up

        2. rickardinho
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Nothing wrong with going with a template, as long as you have 2-3 of your own choices. Tadic still has under 6% ownership for example, and Downing is another great option.

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Unthink it 😉

    3. The Mighty Ducks
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Sky or premier league? Can see Eriksen as a motm magnet in the sky game

      1. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Already have him in the Sky game

        1. The Mighty Ducks
          12 years, 10 days ago

          I should be doing the same on Sunday for Siggy once he has played, fixtures can't be argued with

          1. d1sable
            • Has Moderation Rights
            12 years, 10 days ago

            Yep looks good on paper! Fingers crossed.

      2. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 10 days ago

        and yeah your right they do like him for MoTM

  10. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Chances of Di Maria starting?

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Thigh injury - 75% chance of playing

    2. Jax
      12 years, 10 days ago

      100%

    3. amol
      12 years, 10 days ago

      99%

      12 years, 10 days ago

      200% according to Demi! 😀

    4. kimoo
      12 years, 10 days ago

      HIGH

  11. Mr. Jenkins
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Falcao or Pelle out for Costa?

    1. Jax
      12 years, 10 days ago

      falcao but costa is a major doubt

    2. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 10 days ago

      You're bringing Costa in?? First person I've seen do this..

  12. KunBaYaya My Lord
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Bego
    Baines, Clyne, Wisdom
    ADM, Sterling, Siggy, Fab
    Aguero. Pelle, Welbeck

    Chambers, Cork, Luis

    Considering Baines C, is it a huge mistake considering I own Aguero? Any changes needed?

  13. The Hound
    12 years, 10 days ago

    So pissed off I had £2 on spurs to win 5-0 at 20-1. What a joke!

      12 years, 10 days ago

      It was entertaining though... 🙂

      1. The Hound
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Would have been but I'm sick of o so nearly bets

          12 years, 10 days ago

          Luckily it was only £2!

          1. The Hound
            12 years, 10 days ago

            £44 tho is what is annoying. A free weekends shop is that. Missed out on £160 tues night on accy cos of bloody Barnsley!

            1. The Hound
              12 years, 10 days ago

              *42

  14. Winter_is_coming
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Decide not to sell my midfield (Sterling, Cesc, ADM, Siggy) and already done this:

    1) Costa to Aguero
    2) Lovren to Hutton (-4)

    1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Why did you do 2) for a hit? :S

      1. Winter_is_coming
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Of course the first move was a hit, not second 🙂

  15. JaydenLFC87
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Which 1 is going to score more points this weekend out of the below??

    A) Moore (swa)

    B) Duff (EVE)

    C) Wilson (sou)

  16. Jay_
    12 years, 10 days ago

    So waiting for Club Brugge for 100 notes , checking paddy power for latest odds updates ( effectively the most up to date score update ) market suspends , team to score 2nd goal market appears meaning there's been a goal , I jump for joy then see Copenhagen 1/1000 on , they scored , sickner 🙁

    12 years, 10 days ago

    Harry Kane nets hat-trick, replaces sent-off Lloris in goal & fumbles consolation free-kick into own net as Spurs win 5-1.

    😆 what a night!

  17. Stimps
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Costa --> Pelle done...

    my team now feels naked

    1. The Hound
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Put some pants on jeez

    2. Think Tank
      12 years, 10 days ago

      But healthy.

  18. flippetyflop
    12 years, 10 days ago

    I'm going to captain Baines this week and I own Aguero,Pelle and Sanchez...am I sane???

    1. The Hound
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Not after a euro fixture....

    2. Lallana_
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Baines:

      -Plays Burnley (who have trouble scoring)
      -Good form
      -Everton defence looks strong lately
      -On penalties and has decent goal/assist potential

  19. Lallana_
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Best Di Maria replacement? Money not an issue.

    1. Screaming Midget
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Tadic short term.

      Or maybe Hazard/Oscar

    2. The Hound
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Sanchez or hazard

      1. Lallana_
        12 years, 10 days ago

        What I'm thinking. Can't decide between either though. Might even go Ramsey to raise funds for later transfers.

        1. John Obi Wan Mikel
          12 years, 10 days ago

          Di Maria will start this weekend though so I wouldn't transfer him to be honest

          1. Lallana_
            12 years, 10 days ago

            I think he'll start but with the fixtures he has compared to someone like Sanchez (who is also playing well) it might be good to be a bit different and transfer him out.

    3. John Obi Wan Mikel
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Sanchez for a differential, or hazard imo

    4. Hubert
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Sanchez

  20. YouReds
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Bego
    Azpi Chambers Wisdom
    Sterling Cesc Siggy ADM
    Costa Aguero Pelle

    Gilks Moore Marney Bruce

    0.1itb 2FT

    Azpi, Bruce > Bertrand, Alcaraz ?

  21. Screaming Midget
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Reckon Harry Kane will break into the full England team?

      12 years, 10 days ago

      I really hope not. 😕 No offence to the lad.

    1. theloveburglar
      12 years, 10 days ago

      better than joe hart

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Damn you! 😉

        1. theloveburglar
          12 years, 10 days ago

          🙂

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Ahead of Hart? Maybe.

  22. wedgec
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Who to replace Costa with?

    A) Pelle
    B) Welbeck

    Thanks

    1. Lallana_
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Pelle

  23. Scotty B
    12 years, 10 days ago

    A) Ramsey
    B) Mata
    C) Eriksen
    D) Chadli
    E) Lamela

    And why?

    1. Lallana_
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Ramsey. Good fixtures, fantastic player, generally consistent.

  24. Bøwstring The Carp
    12 years, 10 days ago

    PP enhances special.... Balotelli to score anytime against Hull 4/1

    Sturridge/ Lambert more likely to start?

    1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      12 years, 10 days ago

      Sturridge is out until early November

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 10 days ago

        Even being out of the game he still has a better chance of scoring than Balotelli 🙂

  25. Sarri-ball
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Baines or eriksen going up 2night or can I wait for press conference

  26. Yaya Toure's Birthday …
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Who's the best sub 4.3 defender for the long term? Wisdom, Duff, Hutton etc.??

  27. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 10 days ago

    Why the feck did Chadli play 14 mins?

    anyway any major injuries tonight?

      12 years, 10 days ago

      Him and Eriksen both had a run out. Chadli left, Eriksen central. Both left unscathed.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 10 days ago

        fair dos

        I see Lloris got sent off

        hope that's not an omen, bringing him in this week

          12 years, 10 days ago

          Yeah, charged out and the striker nicked it past him. Usually very good at sweeping up. I wouldn't worry.
