It’s Jonty’s time to curry sympathy this week and he’s on the receiving end of a barrage of cyber-bullying from co-host Granville.

Determined to the belittle Jonty’s Wildcard performance following Callum Wilson’s hat-trick, Granville takes to Twitter before roasting him live on air on the ScoutCast. He seems to have totally missed the fact that I too sold on Wilson as part of my own Wildcard; I’m quite happy for Jonty to play Patsy on this one.

Jonty rolls with the virtual punches to join us as we look back on the Gameweek that saw all three of us refresh our squads. We score our Wildcards out of ten, before scanning the community for Gameweek tales in “Rough with the Smooth”.

We then take on your questions, as we assess Pedro’s pedigree, the lure of Aleks Kolarov and the merits of a well-rounded squad in the light of the FPL chips.

This ScoutCast was first broadcast live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday. Be sure to subscribe to our channel for news of upcoming live Casts. You can view the broadcast in full via the larger player below but, if you prefer the edited audio version, you’ll need this link or the smaller player.

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

    Despite blanking last week, is Payet still a good pick in your opinion?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, a blank doesn't make someone useless

      1. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        It does if you are a hitman

          😆

    2. Sánchez

      Aguero blanked last week.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      2 GWs ago, Payet was in most people's WC teams. Funny how things change.

      Yes he's still a good pick IMO.

    4. alexdelarge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      why he might not be though is westhams attack output damaged with injured striker

      1. alexdelarge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        But I'd still get him in

    5. Numb
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, of course.

    6. Aarono23
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I swapped him out for Pedro as had money in the bank but even that was after much deliberation. I personally think he is at an awkward price where there is better value with players such as Mahrez and redmond. If at 7m then would be a whole different proposition

      1. skeyrd
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        ^ this, he is a good pick, but is he worth a .5 over say a Chadli or a Shaqiri? that's where the question emerges

        I think he still is given he has amazing home fixtures still in line, which is why most got him on a WC 1-2 weeks ago.

        If on a WC I would consider other options but I wouldn't use a FT on him until at least after Norwich @ home.

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years

          Good post

      Thanks guys.

  2. Mike C

    Trying to decide on the last spot in my side for this Gwk

    Defence is Richards - Shaw - Company - Targett - Ward

    Would you :

    A. play albrighton with the all out attack chip, playing Kompany & Richards

    B. Bench shaw - play Targett

    C. Play Shaw

    1. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      play shaw, attacking points possible

      1. Mike C
        • 17 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        im so undecided cheers

        just think the leicester game could be brutal, full of goals

  3. Syd.
    • 17 Years

    So mane is toast

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Why?

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      If the quote on the last page is right, it sounds like he will play Sunday

  4. ZTF
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Guzan (Myhill)
    Darmian Muniesa Kolarov (Williams) (Oxford)
    Sanchez Redmond Silva Payet (Wanyama)
    Lukaku Aguero Wilson

    I'm worried about my GK situation. Any suggestions for a good 9.0 GK rotation that doesn't clash with my defence?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Fabs McCartthy

    2. Wrizard
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      boruc and ruddy rotate well. kinda punty but it's what I'm on. you could also do butland ruddy

  5. ZTF
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Mane ruled out for Sunday vs us?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Since when?

      1. ZTF
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        No I'm asking.

    2. Wrizard
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      no he is not ruled out sat on the bench today but didn't play in europa

  6. GHB
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Decision is killing me this week. Got this gut feeling to cap Sanchez over Kun. Think city game will be a lot tighter than people think.

    Someone talk me out of it. Just improved tank so don't want to make a big mistake...

    1. Alan Hansen's Emu
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I think you're right.

      I'm having a shocking season though, so if Kun did perform, I woul be dead and buried

    2. JamieLfc
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It's early on, massive risks don't need to be taken this early,be patient and don't panic

    3. alexdelarge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      how to improve rank is to swim against the stream, have also big thoughts about watfords defence, thinking of C Mahrez tho

      1. GHB
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I like this....

    4. ZTF
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      City beat Chelsea 3-0 at home. We're looking at a cricket score here mate.

      1. GHB
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        How you think your boys will do this season? Decent start.

    5. BlzE_94
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      man city 4 - 1 watford
      new castle 1 - 2 arsenal

    6. Aarono23
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Go with your gut otherwise you will regret it. More fun that way as well

    7. GHB
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Some interesting thoughts. Not sure if I have my Watford blinkers on, which is why I have brought it up. Just feel they may only sneak it by the odd goal - 2-1 maybe. Whereas think Arsenal are going to tear Newcastle apart.

    8. The Pep Revolution
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      City have said they dropped points against weaker teams last year and are determined to correct those mistakes this year. Hard to not see a few goals against Watford.

    9. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It's a game, it's meant to be fun. Don't play out of fear. If you make the wrong decision, so be it, but don't be a pu$$y. 😉

      1. Dr Dream

        Have an up vote WK..

    WC decisions!

    A) Richards - Azpi - Silva - Pedro

    OR

    B) Williams - Cedric - YYT - Hazard

    So tough, the toughest is deciding wether Silva is actually worth the extra cash than YYT 🙁

    1. Jordan. R
      • 11 Years

      b

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    What's the latest on Kosc and Mane?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      And Mertesacker while you're at it

      1. Red Star Toro
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        yeah why not

      2. John t penguin

        He is still unwell
        Poor wee soldier

      The jacket says kos should be back
      Mane has a sore ar*e now

  12. ralfb

    Which 2 would you bench? Ta

    Darmian francis gomez

    1. Jordan. R

    2. Weasel Boy

      I see a cleanie from Gomez

  13. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Butland (Ruddy)
    Kompany, Cedric, Darmian (Richards) (Ward)
    Sanchez, Silva, Payet, Mahrez (Westwood)
    Kun, Diouf, Gomis

    Best move is to save FT right?

    And Darmian over Richards this week?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Richards over Darmian imo

    2. Jordan. R
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sure

  14. Costa Nostra
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    As an Aguero owner, I'm truly hoping for a blank as most will (C)aptain him. It will be a huge differential captaining another. Subject to change of course.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      only 30% ownership though, its not super high

    2. skeyrd
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      who would you captain instead? I am considering Sanchez or even Benteke but I don't think I have the pelotas to do it this week with City in such flying form. too risky imo

      1. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I'm truly believing Chelsea will run riot at home against CP.

        Hazard breakout maybe? Or is he not the great player he was last year? I highly doubt that he's not.

        Costa perhaps? He seems to score goals in bunches.

        I like Benteke as well. How's fixture just begging for a blowout.

        Sanchez could and should score easily against a terrible Newcastle.

      2. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Silva or Yaya if you have

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Totes

  15. Lallana's Bananas

    Yaya(c) this week cos why not?! 😛

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Totes

  16. AnfieldLad
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Mertesaker and Sakho likelyhood of playing?

    1. Jordan. R
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      5% and get shut of the other one.

      In two weeks time you'll be posting whether or not is him or Carroll to start.

        Keep Mert and do Sakho --> Benteke sound good?

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah...Three good home games in the next four should be good for a goal or two.

          1. Camp No No
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Benteke or Silva? Or both for a hit?

  17. ZTF

    Guys I'm really stuck with my GK situation. Could you please give some feedback above? Thanks.

    1. Jordan. R
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Pick one that is going to keep a clean sheet

  18. JamieLfc
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Am I missing something?how have Watford proven they are defensively good? They havent kept an away clean sheet, there 2 clean sheets have been at home and against mis firing teams..and Aguero.Nuff said.

    1. Jordan. R
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      What?

    2. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      If only Aguero was in form.

    going to continue this from last page. why is kazakhstan in europe in football world when clearly in asia? have team now in champs league.

    last page someone said oz are in asia in football world, and they are kind of but for sane football reasons - they can't be playing south sea islander teams all the time

    1. Jordan. R
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No one cares

      1. JamieLfc
        • 11 Years

        Don't be so rude

        have you been on http://totalfpl.com/

        might be more your scene

        cheers for the googling there WK 🙂

        1. Wilshere Knowledge

          No, I just had that page bookmarked. 😉

    2. Rogue Todd

      Kazakhstan are in UEFA as a legacy of being part of the old USSR and it's the UEFA Champions League. Let's move on.

      1. the axolotl
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        no hold on, it's a new thing is it not?

      2. the axolotl
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        they switched in 2002, none of the other similar soviet stan countries did. makes it harder to qualify for world cups. seems strange

    3. Camp No No
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      So, again: geologically, Kazakstan is largely in Europe.

      1. the axolotl
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        well no, a minor part at best, now we're all using the internet to google this. but ok, there's a mountain range and a river which can give it a tenuous claim to geological europeness. still it's central asia for the most part. still wonder why they want to be part of uefa with no chance of qualification in anything. probably tv money and bribes.

          Only a minor part of Russia is too

          1. the axolotl
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            well no actually. most major russian cities are european

            1. Marstar
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              The measurement of land area is neither defined by population nor level of developement. Therefore Russia is mostly in Asia as is Kazakhstan, but both still hold lands in Europe.

              1. the axolotl
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                was hoping that "size matters" was wrong 🙂

                anyway, looks like people are not agreeing with me that they should be in europe. still wonder why they wanted to be, national team have no chance, club team maybe a chance. tv ££££££££££. and maybe now the plan has worked.

                1. Marstar
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  How can you "want to be" something that you already are? They are a part of Europe.

                  I think the club / players / nation would be a little more excited to be a part of the competition than the money 😉

                  Do you share the same view for the likes of the Faroe Islands, Lichtenstein , Andora et al. ?

                  1. the axolotl
                    • 15 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    think you're missing my point. they were part of asian federation and then switched in 2002. so they're moved from asia to europe. i can see why a club might want that and gain champs league exposure like has just happened, but their national team has been given no chance.

                    they are still fundamentally asian though and i don't agree with them being in uefa. i hope nobody has thought this racist by the way, it's purely geographical, and borat is one my fave movies

      A large chunk of Khazakstan is West of the Ural River, and hence in Europe

    Hey I am looking for some opinion on the following if you would so inclined.

    1) Lambert ===> Wilson
    2) Mane ===> YaYa
    3) save the FT

    My team

    Schmeichel (Schwarzer)
    Azpilicueta = Clyne = Francis (Targett = Baker)
    Özi = Hazard = Mané = Mahrez (Fletcher)
    Benteke = Agüero = Lambert

    1. JamieLfc
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      1+2 for a hit

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I was trying to avoid a hit this week. But this would give me a far better attack.

      Thanks all. I'll go for option 1.

    Butland Ruddy
    Kolarov Cedric Gomez Francis Muniesa
    Silva Sanchez Coutinho Mahrez Ritchie
    Aguero Diouf Wilson

    WC. Any suggestions?

    1. Jordan. R
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      keep

    2. BlzE_94
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      coutinho and ritchie -> pedro and obertan

      1. Scheister
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Coutinho great stats and fixtures, Obertan to be dropped for Thauvin anyway.
        ...my biggest concern with this squad, is who to keep on the bench

    3. Big Dogg
      • 11 Years

      Play your own game, make your own decisions.

      1. Scheister
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        ...thanks for the input? And I shall, just wanting some advice, isn't that the point of this website?

    4. Scheister
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Rutland and Muniesa to heavy on Stoke defense?
      Too much Bournemouth cover?

  22. That Was Easy!
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    So, what can we draw from Mané's spot in the substitutes but not coming on? I rode his price drop for a great fixture and am baffled as to if he'll start or not. I do have

    If it's looking more and more like he won't play, do I start Westwood or take a (-4) for Pedro?

    Cheers all, help here would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Play Westwood imo

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Play Mane with Westwood sub?

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I would hate to miss out if Mane finally explodes.

      2. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        ^this. Westwood has looked reasonable and could get a small haul against Sunderland.

        I'd say yes for a FT but not a hit

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I meant this to Gazza's comment, but Numb's isn't a bad idea

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Same situation here. Annoyingly (I assume) we won't get another Soton presser now.

    3. Marstar
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Kept him.

      Playing him. Have bench cover.

      Will 100% be avail after the int break with good fixtures.

      Like Wilson you'll get the .2 back quickly aswell as the pre-bandwagon haul 😉

  23. CunkOnFPL

    why Kolarov is not in the captain's poll?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Too good of an option.

    2. Jordan. R
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Because he is a defender

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      There is no number high enough that can represent the amount of votes he'd get.

    Captain Silva or Kun?

    1. BlzE_94
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Kun who will eager to become leagues top goal scorer

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Kun most likely but recent captain-favorits has flopped

  25. Ruth_NZ

    I find FPL very hard sometimes. 😕

    1. Numb

      I usually do.

    2. Numb

    have people started to get Shaqiri in on his reputation?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing wrong with that.

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        it wasn't meant as a dig..I'm looking at him as a potential option based on their fixtures and what I know he's capable of given that I may bail on Payet in a week or two

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Oh right, I read it the wrong way!

          1. sinik

    2. Greenbackbøøg…

      He's a high calibre player by Stoke standards

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        and a decent one by most other standards

  28. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Mane to Yaya -4 or hope that Mane plays. He was on the bench tonight.

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Who's your 5th mid if Mane doesn't play?

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I don't really like hits. If Mane or a sub plays, avoiding the hit is the equivalent of having an assist and 1 BP in the bag.

  29. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Advice please chaps and chapettes

    Mane to coutinho/ pedro for hit
    Hold and play with shelvey sub
    Play shelvey

    1. BlzE_94

      pedroooooooooo

  30. Greenbackbøøg…

    I have a bad feeling Pedro will disappoint a lot of people

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I agree that one impressive debut doesn't make him essential, but he has got potential.

      One to watch for me

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        wasn't even IMPRESSIVE...he played pretty well, yes..but his goal was a deflection and his assist a shot..

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Impressive in FPL terms, a deflected goal and assist from a shot is still 8 points

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            not a performance you would use to justify a 9.5m investment, let alone for a player playing his first season in England at 28.

          2. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            at least not yet...one to watch

      2. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, one to watch but I don't think he'll be much better value than Hazard like people are suggesting tbh
