Last night we got together for another ScoutCast in Google Hangout mode and with the quick turnaround for the Gameweek deadline this evening, we’d thought we’d get this published for you today. That means there is no edited MP3 version for you this week – instead, if you want to listen to Granville and myself, you’ll need to keep your eyes from the screen, open a new window over the top or be hypnotised by our beardy, swarthy looks.

It’s not only Granville and I that you’ll need to avoid. Jonty is back with us again, rolling out his best Santi Cazorla impression, while Green Windmill (aka Andrew Gibson) is also in the house, looking down on us all from his 115th FPL rank position.

We’re going to endeavour to keep this coming on a Monday evening at 10pm. Although next week’s is already in doubt because Granville is globetrotting in Spain on a stag do (yes, I think he’s surely too old for that kind of thing, too).

We’ll keep you posted on whether we’re still on target for Monday night or if we shift to Tuesday – we may even take on the ScoutCast without dear old Granville – we’ve lining up Dufflinks (aka Simon March), the FPL number one ranked player, to compensate.

Subscribe to our You Tube channel to get prior warning and look out for the dedicated Hot Topic on Monday.

The Hangout

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

    Team at the moment:

    Foster

    Clyne, Bellerin, Azpilicueta

    Hazard, Walters, Puncheon, Cazorla, Sanchez

    Kane, Aguero

    Myhill, Sakho, PvA, Haidara

    Who should i change, maybe Cazorla--> Eriksen?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'm struggling with the same issue, I'm leaning more towards Sanchez to go though. A lot of money for not a lot of returns at the moment!

      1. Jonny HOW SON?
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I could also replace Walters with Dembele maybe..

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez to Phillips.

      Loads of cash in the bank!!

      1. Jonny HOW SON?
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        And where should I invest the cash then? 😀

    3. Teror
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez if anybody

      1. Jonny HOW SON?
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for the advice!

  2. Raddy
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Play Moses (EVE) or puncheon (sou) you reckon fellas?

    1. Funkyav
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Punch imo

    2. Bolt-on
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Moses

    3. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers guys.
      Cleared that up ;).

      1. Funkyav
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Been burnt by Moses before that's only reason why, plus punch has been decent recently

    4. Old Boots
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Gut says Punch, Raddy... Back in the middle, on set pieces, and playing against his old club etc.

  3. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hey guys, a little help maybe?

    Pantilimon, Heaton

    Terry, Trippier, Pva, Heidara, Lescott

    Hazard, Sterling, Silva, Cazorla, Boyd

    Kane, Aguero, Giroud

    0.2 in the bank, 1 free transfer. What would you do?

    1. Harvey Specter
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Cazorla to eriksen?

    2. Old Boots
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, either that or Trippier to Rose perhaps?

  4. Skor Hattricksson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    How long will we need to worry about the players with 8+ yellow cards? Does the magic number get upped from 10 to something else at some point?

    1. Ser Football 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      It goes until the end of this month

    2. pompeyfan
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      you also have to worry after 10 because 15 is another magic number I think!

    3. Trashpanda

      If a player accumulates five cautions between the opening day of the playing season and 31 December in the same season, he will be suspended automatically for one match.

      If a player accumulates ten cautions between the opening day of the playing season and the second Sunday of April in the same season, he will be suspended automatically for two matches.

      If a player accumulates fifteen cautions between the opening day of the playing season and the last day of the same season, he will be suspended automatically for three matches.

      If a player then accumulates a further five cautions then he will be hauled before the regulatory commission, within seven days of the date of the last caution. The members of a regulatory commission will have the power to deal with the player in such manner as they deem fit. The same procedure will apply for every further five cautions received by that player.

  5. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    which option to go with, worthy to take hit? tia

    1.pva hul
    2. -4 hit : haidara>Rose SWA, QPR

    **if pva starts and sun get a CS, pressure will be one for Rose to get 6 pts just to break even in these 2 games.

  6. Roger Milla
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Di Maria to Coutinho?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I would

      1. Funkyav
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        For free? Yes although think sterling is better long term, although coutinho is in form right now...

  7. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Pick 2 to play from this lot:

    Terry
    Clyne
    Puncheon
    Moses

    Thanks!

    1. Le Limpar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Top 2

      1. Harvey Specter
        • 13 Years

        This

    Keep calm people, keep calm.

    There might be an explosion of points from a QPR or Spurs player, but it's difficult to predict and unlikely to happen - you can only go with logic and hope for the best.

    Excited for the games to start now.

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      So the more of those players you own, the more chance you have of owning the one who explodes.

      Panic, people, panic.

  9. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…

    If PVA starts would you play him vs hull or Wolly against Everton?

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      pva

    2. drughi
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      wolly

    3. Le Limpar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I have these 2 and picked Wolly.

      Spurious reasoning: Sunderland will be rocked by the Johnson situation and ship 7 goals.

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Daft logic 😉 but I have always respected your comments...

      2. Nomar

        • 16 Years

        Nah.

    4. Harvey Specter
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Wolly

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

    The only reason i have kane captained instead of aguero is so that i can cheer on my captain for 2 matches. I would think agueroo will score similar to kane at least

  11. FPL FREAK
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Howz my team....? Good to go.....??

    Foster.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          i think he means because they face each other

          1. bibi
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            yes...if you believe in austin, bench bellerin. i m in the same boat...

  12. Rhinos

      Bobby... Zamora????

      1. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        yeah Charlton was too expensive

  13. thehut
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Imagine the scenes on here when if Kane & Eriksen are rested and Soldado/Lamela starts on Wednesday!

    1. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Won't happen but Caz+Sanchez rested now that could happen

    2. drughi
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      mayhem

    3. foley_fd
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Won't make any difference, as everyone has them.

    4. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      That would be great. Gives me a chance to remove Kane.

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

      Spurs only have league position to play for. Poch should play strongest team every game.

      1. chrisjdgrady
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        This

    6. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I have seen, at a guess, hundreds of 'image the scenes if...' posts on here. Have any of them actually happened?

    7. chrisjdgrady
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      What exactly does Pocc need to rest his best players for at this point? Top 4 is his only concern

  15. foley_fd
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I had set myself for Rose to be included.

    However, all match web sites point towards Davies playing tomorrow.

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      they are guessing just like we do

      1. foley_fd
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Fair point.

    2. chrisjdgrady
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Uneducated guess

  16. foley_fd
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    There is no time for moping about at White Hart Lane. That's the message from Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino as his side look to bounce back from their Wembley woe.

    Spurs entertain Premier League rivals Swansea tomorrow, three days after losing the League Cup final against Chelsea.

    "We need to lift the players," says Pochettino. "We need to put the idea into the team that tomorrow is the most important game.

    "We know that is difficult because the expectation was so high for Wembley. But we need to forget that."

    1. Le Limpar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I get the feeling it'll be as much an unchanged team from the final as possible barring real fatigue or injury.

      He's rightly proud of the performance at Wembley, and a good reward is to not drop them for the next home game, but harness their disappointment into a big league performance.

      1. foley_fd
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I agree, but the tempo he asks from his players makes that difficult.

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yes. Play them all tomorrow and rest them on Saturday please.

  17. lugalooch
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    A) Defoe + Sanchez > Austin + Eriksen (-4)
    B) Defoe + JWP > Cheap Striker + Eriksen (-4)

    Current team:

    Pantillimon, McCarthy
    Janmaat, Fonte, Chambers, Naughton, Peiters
    Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Mane, JWP

  18. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Which goalkeeper do I play this week:

    a.) Ospina (qpr)
    b.) Foster (villa)

    ?

    1. Gooner97

    1. HVT

      Waking up just to see Margaret Thatcher alongside you?

  20. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    @pf/others
    Giroud > Austin -4???

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not for a hit mate.

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks think your right-just seems more fun with Charlie, but I gotta consider the structure of my team, I hoping for a 1k fin.

    2. Le Limpar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No, sir. As you said to me - you've giving Giroud a goal headstart, and he could easily bag a couple against this QPR team.

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

    3. Sterling Chap
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      This decision has been hurting my small brain. Will only have Kane and Erik otherwise.

  21. La Roja
    • 14 Years

      Like the Phillips punt!

      Horrible benching dilemma, but for what it's worth, I'd go for Caz

    Team G2G?

    Foster

    Terry Bertie Dawson
    Sánchez Mané Haz ERIKSEN
    KANE (c) Giroud Kun
    Subs: Myhill Boyd Wolly PVA

    No FT, but do you think I need to take a hit for another Spurs or QPR player?

    "There are currently 46.8% inactive FPL squads." according to FFF. That seems like an overstatement right? Thats half of the players.

      Well depends on what their definition of 'inactive' is but yeah that seems way too high.

        Maybe a team that hasn't made transfers for 6-8 GWs. It has to be about transfers. There is no other way.

      No, it has gradually been creeping up from around 40% at Xmas. A lot have given up now but that's still 2m active players.

      If 53.2% of players are still active, I feel a whole lot better about my rank!

    Considering the money as well as the transfer, Santi or Sanchez to Eriksen?

    Play C.Dawson or Bruce with Foster in GK?

      Dawson

    Do you think it's stupid to go with just one DGW player (Kane) ? My midfield is Hazard, Silva, Sanchez, Puncheon and Boyd. I'm not sure if I want to sell one of them for Eriksen.
