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
      11 years, 5 months ago

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

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Net two goals?

    1. Screaming Midget
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

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

      1. A guy
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        footyroom has them.

    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months 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
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      glad I got Eriksen in then!

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

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

  2. waltzingmatildas

    Right, thinking of Costa and adm to aguero and oscar

    Look ok!

    1. Screaming Midget
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

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

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Kane an option for GK?

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

      I wanted Oscar, but went for Eriksen, awesome fixtures

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

      A serious question.

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

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

        its telling that you haven't seen stat tables

  3. Woy of the Wovers
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

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

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

      That I'm actually Luke's Mother.

      😯

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        So you had sex with Vader?

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

          With myself 😯

          1. Woy of the Wovers
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

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

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

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

    2. Jay_
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Princess Diana 'accident '

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

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

          1. Jay_
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Yep

              1. Woy of the Wovers
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 5 months 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%

          Paul is dead.

          1. Woy of the Wovers
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Admittedly, the Apostle Paul is dead. FACT.

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

            That's a good one alright.

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

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

              That comment reminds me of Dr Strangelove.

              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!

          Dorrito's are an illuminati advertising ploy. 😀

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

          Only those that do not hit the USA are natural

      • Count of Monte Hristo

        Kane has been watching footage of Mannone at the weekend

      • Jay_
          11 years, 5 months ago

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

          1. Jairzinho
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            No chance of that!!

            But yes, he would.

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

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

        • asquishypotato
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months 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?

        • Little Lukin
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Kane in goal is hilarious

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

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

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

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

          (not that I play Europa League)

          1. 420king
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            😀

            1. 420king
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

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

        • d1sable
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 5 months ago

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

          1. Evs
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Right 🙂

            1. d1sable
              • Has Moderation Rights
              11 years, 5 months ago

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

                • 12 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

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

                1. d1sable
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  11 years, 5 months ago

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

                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 5 months ago

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

              1. Evs
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 16 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

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

                1. d1sable
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  11 years, 5 months ago

                  I know i normally template it up

              2. rickardinho
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 5 months 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
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Unthink it 😉

          3. The Mighty Ducks
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

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

            1. d1sable
              • Has Moderation Rights
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Already have him in the Sky game

              1. The Mighty Ducks
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 5 months 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
                  11 years, 5 months ago

                  Yep looks good on paper! Fingers crossed.

            2. d1sable
              • Has Moderation Rights
              11 years, 5 months ago

              and yeah your right they do like him for MoTM

            • 15 Years

            Thigh injury - 75% chance of playing

            200% according to Demi! 😀

            HIGH

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

          Falcao or Pelle out for Costa?

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

            falcao but costa is a major doubt

          2. Daniel Exeter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

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

        • KunBaYaya My Lord
          • 12 Years

          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?

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

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

            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            It was entertaining though... 🙂

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

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

                Luckily it was only £2!

          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!
            • 11 Years

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

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

          A) Moore (swa)

          B) Duff (EVE)

            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

            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!

              Baines:

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

            Best Di Maria replacement? Money not an issue.

              11 years, 5 months ago

              Tadic short term.

              Or maybe Hazard/Oscar

              Sanchez or hazard

                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
                  • 11 Years
                  11 years, 5 months ago

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

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

              Sanchez for a differential, or hazard imo

              11 years, 5 months ago

              Sanchez

            Sterling Cesc Siggy ADM
            Costa Aguero Pelle

            Reckon Harry Kane will break into the full England team?

              • 12 Years

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

            A) Pelle
            B) Welbeck

              • 12 Years

          • Scotty B
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

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

            And why?

            1. Lallana_

              Ramsey. Good fixtures, fantastic player, generally consistent.

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

            Sturridge/ Lambert more likely to start?

            1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Sturridge is out until early November

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

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

            Why the feck did Chadli play 14 mins?

            anyway any major injuries tonight?

              • 12 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

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

                fair dos

                I see Lloris got sent off

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

                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 5 months ago

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