Flabbergasted by my reluctance to tinker and the decision to throw away my Gameweek 9 transfer, Granville can’t wait to get stuck into me in the ScoutCast studio.

My co-host roughs me up over my cowardice, then slaps me around for the fact that I appeared to hoodwink the entire world over Diego Costa’s fitness. We then go on to appraise the merits of Ed Sheeran, check in on Neil Warnock’s latest gripes and weigh up the Sterling vs Sanchez vs Hazard debate. Meanwhile, Kieran Trippier’s cross count without an assist for Granville hits 66 and counting. Who’s dithering now, eh Granville?

Dilly-dally over this episode via this link or dawdle in its direction via the player below…

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

    Costa/Sanchez/Aguero..

    Spoilt for choice to give the armband to this week!

    Which of these would u choose and why?
    Leaning towards Sanchez c.. Costa vc..

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

      Hazard

      1. 32chickens
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yepx2

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

      Sanchez given the team they face and form

      Costa is a risk ..m sure he will score but maybe get outscored by Sanchez.
      QPR looked OK last week..
      They have started to get their formation right to an extent.Burnley are doing it all wrong though

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

        If Costa and Sanchez both score a goal then Sanchez still outscores Costa. Easily the best (C) choice if you feel they both have around the same chance of scoring.

        Not to mention bonus point potential.

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

          Agreed 🙂

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

      I have to decide between Sanchez and Aguero.. Tough one. Aguero could blank or score a brace haha

      Will probably go for Sanchez

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

      Sterling to Sanchez

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

        thats what I have done. Feels nice. But gonna cause me problems next week haha

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

      I have very similar. Are you worried about no Sanchez, Hazard or Pelle?

      Plans to bring any of them in?

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

        Nah, mate. Their ownership won't hurt us.

      11 years, 5 months ago

      not decided yet for captain choice. Costa, Hazard or Aguero...

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

        Hazard for me

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

          very set on Haz evs.. You think he will explode?

          1. The Man Pastore
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            I captained Haz twice this season and I was not so happy about it... But I might give it another shot tomorrow though

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

              3rd time lucky.. I wouldn't have the guts if I had Costa/Aguero

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

    When Sanchez plays the full 90 minutes he averages 10 points per game

    (C).

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

      M on it 😉

      (Beans on toast ..weird xD)

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

        Aguero is 6.4 ppg for the same stat (even though we know Aguero doesn't need 90 mins to score...).

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Impressive-has arsene got a fantazy team?

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

        Yeah, it's called The Invincibles.

  6. ManTree(v2!) or just JAY!

      Difficult one for you but I'm going to have a punt on Barkley

    2. DodGY BaNaNa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Put Sanchez in and make him capt

    3. 32chickens

      Hutton to wisdom

  7. danishdynamite
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Not the most common dilema this week, I suspect, but anyway: start Fat Frank or Siggy ??

    I'm leaning toward Frank, despite Everton being a bit leaky

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

      I doubt he will play.

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

        I doubt he'll start but he hasn't needed long to score when he has come on.

        What with Silva out qnd nasri fresh back from injury (i.e. no chance of '90) I was thinking he could well be shoved up behind Kun

        *clutches a few more straws for good measure*

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

          😯

          I'm not convinced...

          When you consider how many goals Everton are conceding, it seems a but mad to hope Lampard gets 20 minutes instead.

          But sometimes this game is about gut calls, so I wouldn't want to dissuade you.

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Lamps?
      If so play siggy...

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

      Is fat frank fit ?

  8. Tsssst
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    not great and shitting it without costa and sanchez but who to captain?

    aguero
    welbeck
    baines
    faregas

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

      Aguero

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

      Baines of that lot

      I punt and sometimes it backfires 🙂

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

      Aguero

    If you were on a wildcard, which pair would you go for?

    A) Costa & Tadic (penalties)

    or

    B) Pelle (4 YC) & Hazard (penalties)

    Repost
    Someone reply
    My defence is
    Adrian Elliot
    Baines ivanovic clyne Bertrand and s Taylor

    I am looking at keeping both the saints
    Who would u upgrade s Taylor to ?
    To make up for the fixtures ..I may play them at big teams buy if script goes awry..who for s Taylor ?

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

      How much you got to spend

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

        5 million

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

      Naylor or Pva

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

        Ty

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

      With how much in the bank?

      West Brom have decent fixtures in the future, so maybe Wisdom.

      Maybe a West Ham defender, or N.Taylor as their fixtures turn good when Saints' turn bad.

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

        Ty ..
        Had Naylor but shipped him out to fund Sanchez :/

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

          That's alright, you wouldn't want him for the next 3 anyway. If you could afford it, it might be worth getting Fernandez instead for a Swansea defender. You will always get the passing bonus, so he will get more BAPS than Taylor.

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

            Ty wilshere 🙂

    4. 32chickens

  11. Mozart_s Balls
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Which way to go this GW?

    A) Sterling -> Oscar (have Costa)
    B) PVA -> Chambers
    C) save FT

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

      Oscar ..... Cheeky punt that

    2. Queens Pork Raging
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      B or C. A is just madness.

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

      B.x

    4. Crystal Pulis
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Keep Sterling imo. Rested midweek against a tired Newcastle team which will attack

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

      B it is

    6. Mozart_s Balls
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Hmmm,different oppinions, just like i thought 🙂

  12. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Would anyone mind having a look at my team and giving me some ideas?
    2FTs + 0.1 ITB

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

      You're good to go. Perhaps Albrighton to Boyd.

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

        Haha if that was just a guess... can you give me the lottery numbers please??

  13. jordinho23
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Im going Costa captain. Remy is out, Drogba played midweek and Costa has been in full flow in training. 100% starter for me beware non captainers.

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

      Good luck with that 😉

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

    (1) captain:
    A. Costa
    B. Sanchez

    (2) transfer:
    A. Moreno to Chambers
    B. save FT

    Am probably going to take out DDG this week but am undecided on who should replace him? Guzan, Foster or Adrian are my main thoughts. Anyone on WC, what GKs are you bringing in?

    1. tommidee
      • 12 Years

      Probably Adrian - West Ham have the fixtures.

    1. Kazza_

      yes

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

      Looks good aslong as you are happy with Walcott only playing 20 mins.
      I would also swap Tadic for Mane

          i think sanchez over aguero for me easier team, better form etc

    3. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ

      Aguero (c)
      Welbeck (vc)

  24. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Play Hutton(TOT) or Wisdom(lei)

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Wisdom

    2. Kazza_

      Wisdom.

    4. Trading Bear

    5. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      More wise to go with Wisdom

    6. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years

      Wisdom

    7. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Hutton may not play, either way I'd start wisdom.

    if QPR get a clean sheet I'll be so happy

      and maybe a millionaire too 🙂

        Is your name a deliberate misspelling of Apartheid?

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

          yes just to highlight the illegitimacy of it

    Morning lads.
    Just a quick one:

    Sterling & Lukaku ---> Hazard (c) & Pelle

    Worth -4? No Chelsea coverage atm is nagging away at me to do it, but Sterling and Lukaku could quite easily make a fool out of that.

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

      looks good but wud rather get costa than haz

      haz is a 2,3,2,3,11,2,2,3,12 kinda plyr

  27. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you drop for Costa?

    A) Aguero
    B) Welbeck
    C) Pelle

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

      none - we all in same boat

      welbeck is weakest link but vs burnley cud easily match costa score

    2. Trading Bear
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Welbeck >>> Sakho
      Pelle >>> Costa

      I have the same current line up and these will be my trades.

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

        hmm selling pelle is big risk at the mo he is main source of southampton points

        gw13 is when wud consider selling him

        1. Trading Bear
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          I should clarify these are future trades and not for this week. Welbeck >>> Sakho will be next week and then Pelle >>> Costa during the break. Pelle on 4 cards and fixtures turn after Lei/Avi.

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

            ah that makes good sense now

            im not sold on sakho prefer berihno becos of pens & prefer WBA over WHM they still playing lump it long and cross it / head it

            not a big fan of supporting such tactics

          2. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            This. Probably doing the same but after Southampton fixtures toughes up.

    3. Robben Mee Blind

      B

    4. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      None of them

    Hi Mark and Granville, always looking forward to the Scoutcast. Keep up the good work. It might be interesting for the listeners though to include a link to your mini league and your individual teams.

    has ot be welbeck of those on form

      reply fail

  30. ninja101

    a) Di Maria -> Sanchez (no other Arsenal of Man U coverage)

    b) Fab -> Sanchez (Have Costa)

    c) Neither

    1. Trading Bear
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      B

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      B makes sense..

    3. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'd argue B if you have Costa. But both chelsea and City arguably have better fixtures over the next 6. So a case for dropping adm too, hmm.

      1. Citizen kano
        • 11 Years

        Aguero out for costa yes or no
