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.

    Hi guys, team is:

    Krul
    Chambers - Ivanovic - Hutton
    Siggy - Sterling - Fabragas - Di Maria
    Aguero - Costa - Welbeck
    _____________________________
    Hamer; Wisdom, Moore, Albrighton

    0.3 itb, 0 free transfers, can you see anything maybe worth doing for a -4 or -8?

    Di Maria > Tadic?
    Siggy > Barkley?
    Ivanovic > Baines?

    Anything you might advise? Comments/help much appreciated.

    2. bennyp

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

    Are some people ditching Di Maria? If so why, some news ive missed on his injury?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No news. People just ditching to enable Aguero move

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

        I already have ADM, Aguero and Costa. All good to leave them as they are?

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Definitely.

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

          I have them too since start and keep them, as i woulnt be able to afford any of them to get back in case i sell them

  6. wedgec
    • 13 Years

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

    Which one?

    1) Tadic, Costa
    2) Pelle, Sanchez

    For GW10, the one after this one

    1. melvinmbabazi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1

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

    Right now im more scaredof not having pelle and baines than i am of not having costa
    and with two frees , i can see no reason not to pull trigger, plus it saves money

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      You sold Costa yet TL?

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

      yes costa has high ownership but many of them casuals , who are no long term threat anyway

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

        doing in a couple of hours before price changes

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          +1

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

      Doing Costa > Pelle tonight I think and debating if I should get Baines in or keep the money for a return to Costa next week.

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

      I'm actually the same. Costa - > Pellè just feels right.

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

        same bevis i mioght just do pelle this week then i still have two frees for next week

      2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 13 Years

      Well you are called trigger lips

      Can you afford to get Costa back for qpr without a hit or are you not bothered about him ?

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

        I'm more less there Evs fwiw ,
        Costa/Hutton > Pelle/Baines for free and exact cash ,
        Would you?

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

          Maybe 😆

            lol trolling

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

    ADM -> Eriksen

    Tempting.

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      You'll probably regret it.

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

      Mhm. Would allow me to do Moreno > Baines as well.

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

      ADM is the best midfielder available. Fabregas second. Keep at all costs.

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

      No, he looks class.

      His crosses are begging for Falcao to get on the end of if he play like 🙄 ?!!

    5. 42 Rules
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      to be honest ADm was unlucky in the wba match to only get an assist. He is alot more explosive than Eriksen imo and will be fit - don't forget he was coming of an international break - long plane journeys and all (Hong Kong on Tuesday I believe).

    6. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Not convinced by this. ADM is a permanent threat.

  10. Buck The Trent

    Forster
    Baines Berti Azpi Moore Dummett
    Adm Siggy Sterlo Chadli Obertan

    Best move for this week lads?

    A Costa to Pelle
    B Azpi to Kaboul
    C Costa, Azpi to Pelle, Kaboul (4)
    D save

      Costa > Pelle most obvious transfer

      1. melvinmbabazi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Already have Pelle

  13. Red Scout
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Hello Guys!

    Thoughts on my team for this GW..

    Forster
    N.Taylor Clyne Wisdom
    ADM Sterling Siggy Fabolous
    King Kun Falcao Pelle

    McCarthy Manquillo Boyd Duff 0.00 iTB

    Thinking Manquillo ➡ Chambers. Taylor drops to bench

    Or should I just save.

  14. mww769
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    If I have made a lot of transfers, and somehow forgotten to click "play wildcard", can I eliminate those points-hits by making another transfer and hitting the wildcard button now?

    1. melvinmbabazi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

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

      Yes you can, afaik

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

      just hit wildcard and it will eliminate all hits.

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

    Torn between :
    A) welbeck and adm to aguero and boyd (keep costa)
    B) Costa and adm to aguero and oscar

  16. JK - Cønt ⭐

    YOLO

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

      I think that will work out well

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      😯

      Best of luck mate. I like it.

  17. Ed
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Those people shipping Costa, assuming he doesn't play would you actually bring him back for QPR.

    I've had him since the start, so feel like it'll be a waste to take him out then bring him back for QPR at a higher price

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

      Exactly

    2. Mr Smith
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Gotta love for the moment, sieze the opportunity. Imagine how many will still have Costa this weekend and will be relying on subs to get them through. Those who have replaced with decent players could benefit a lot.

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

        Yeah still leaning to ship him - means I can get Baines too

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

      If he is definitely fit, yes.

      I don't have too many other problems with my team. If I get lucky and no more injuries, I can get Costa out and back with FTs.

    4. melvinmbabazi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      U speak sense

    5. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Only query I have is do they really need to risk him against QPR? Could be another good opportunity to rest. Heard others say this too. Who knows?!

  18. Mr Smith
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Left hand up if you are selling Costa tonight before his price fall, right hand up if you are waiting until tomorrow prezzers.

    2. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Is it a .2 swing Mr smith?

      1. Mr Smith
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Pelle up 0.1m and Costa down, so yes 0.2m

    Do you guys think Southampton will dispatch of Stoke quite easily this weekend? Planning my accumulator now...

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

      I wouldn't be surprised if it's a 0-0 or 1-1.

    2. Mr Smith
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yupper

    3. ralfb
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Nope 1:2 for stoke, i would think

    4. Red Scout
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      2 - 0 is my prediction. Not expecting a bashing like last weekend.

    5. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      3-1 Southampton.

    6. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      1.1 and I'm a season ticket holder. Would be typical Saints.

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

        Cheers. Think I'll leave them out, the odds aren't very good for the win anyway

  20. Yam-es
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Boyd or Wisdom for 1st bencher?

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

      Wisdom.

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

      Wisdom

  21. Judas
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I was thinking of doing Silva ---> Eriksen for free, still a good idea?

    I have Costa and ADM who are doubts

  22. thorvaldsson
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    For those who have the Krul Elliot combo what are you doing this weekend? Is it time to drop them?

  23. melvinmbabazi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Fabregas to Tadic
    Yay or No

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Nay for me.

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

      Get both if you can

  24. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Poll:

    Aguero or Pelle for (c)

    1. Red Scout
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero! No brainer really!!

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

      Pelle

  25. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    To get rid of Sterling, Di Maria or Hazard for Eriksen to afford Aguero?

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

      Sterling

      1. Red Scout
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Sterling

    2. ~SpartakMac
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling or ADM.

      I'd personally go for Sterling, despite him being Liverpool's leading man.

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

    Is it worth getting rid of Costa for a -4?

  27. ~SpartakMac
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Oscar's scored quite impressively recently.

    A Chelsea player, at 8.3m and only 3% ownership.

    Anyone interested?

  28. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Tonight's risers anyone?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Looks like just Pelle perhaps.

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

      Pelle

    3. HVT

        • Has Moderation Rights

        Costa - yes.

        BAINES - no

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

            Well actually...

            FPL statistics say YES.

            total FPL and fiso no. 🙄

  29. Super PVA - Small Spuds
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    No idea at the mo!!!! How can you be sure he's dropping?

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

    Surely Kane deserves to start ahead of Ade/Soldado.

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

      you would think so , yep
