Just ten days after celebrating three-figure tallies, many Fantasy managers are now left counting the flags as the international break casualties mount.

Sergio Aguero leads the army of crocks. The City striker’s twanging hamstring has taken the shine off his incredible 25-point haul and it’s his demise from hero to zero that dominates the chatter in this latest ScoutCast episode.

With Granville struck down by sniffles, Luke aka “D1sable†steps into the breach to join Jonty and myself to take up the challenge of weighing up the Aguero stand-ins.

We also take time to assess two contrasting managerial appointments, greeting Jurgen Klopp’s thrilling heavy metal football, whilst mustering a nod to Big Sam’s bid to produce a Black Cats escape routine.

This latest episode was first broadcast live via our YouTube channel on Wednesday evening. You can view the full broadcast via the larger player below (much as we love Luke, we do eventually shift the camera from him).

For the edited and slightly more refined audio experience, you’ll need this link or the stream available via small player.

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

    Morning DZ, best option here? Planning to WC for GW11.

    A) Kun -> Costa
    B) Pedro & Kun -> Haz & Costa (-4)
    C) Sinclair & Kun -> KDB & Bony (-4)

    Sanchez, Mane, Pedro, Mahrez
    Kun, Pelle, Vardy

    Bank 0.6m

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      B is a lot of eggs in the "Chelsea will get better" basket, but could be the way to climb the ladders quickly if they do decide to bring it!

      Pedro & Kun > KDB & Costa?

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, that's a mix of the two. With City having mun away next week I was wondering if that gives the CHE boys the edge over the next 2?

        Another option could be

        D) Sinclair & Kun -> Hazard & Berahino (-4)

        You think Pedro starts on the bench this week? Him starting is the only thing putting me off B

    2. 2 Girls 1 Schlupp
      • 11 Years

      Pedro & Kun -> KDB & Costa seems more sensible to me.

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Yep I like this move.

    3. Moosie the Staggie
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      C for me because I wouldn't go anywhere near Costa. As an owner already this season, I can assure you that you will spend more time worrying about him getting sen off than anything else.

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I went for Lukaku over him even with the fixtures against Everton. I really don't like the guy.

  2. Huddersfield
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Howard
    Sagna Dawson Azpi
    Sanchez KDB Payet Ayew Mahrez
    Pellé Berahino

    Gomes Bellerin D&M Sakhos

    GTG ?

    1. 2 Girls 1 Schlupp
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      GTG I guess

      1. Huddersfield
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        cheers

    2. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'd probably start Bellerin. Not sure who for though....

      1. Huddersfield
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        4 defenders with the best cs odds , tough decision , i hope 1-2 players sidelined

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, your team is setup very well this week. SOT are very solid defensively so I'd consider Mahrez for the bench. Risky though.

          1. Huddersfield
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Mahrez is owned by 54.1 % dude , we all know he can score anytime & get more points than a def getting only CS

            1. Jinswick
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              True, but Bellerin is also capable of more than just a CS. Very attacking.

              1. Huddersfield
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                Sagna Mahrez or not & Ayew Benched , Problem Solved

                1. Jinswick
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 15 Years
                  10 years, 4 months ago

                  Actually, I'd be benching Sagna for sure - had forgot that Zaba is back.

                  1. Huddersfield
                    • 10 Years
                    10 years, 4 months ago

                    Sagna has a good chance to play mate , Kolarov may be sidelined

                    1. Jinswick
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 15 Years
                      10 years, 4 months ago

                      I expect Kolarov to play but yeah there is a chance. Even so, the uncertainty would have me start Bellerin - ARS are better defensively also.

    3. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Nice team Pedrito, though IMO I'd try and play Bellerin.

      G2G apart from that 🙂 Captain?

      1. Huddersfield
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        (K)DB here , Benching Dawson maybe ?

        1. Zasa
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Nice pick & yeah I'd personally bench Dawson, aye. First sub.

          1. Huddersfield
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Cheers Zasa , good Luck

            1. Zasa
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Though I do agree with Jin's reasoning here. This very well may be a 90 or 0 minutes situation for Sagna depending on Kolarov's fitness. Worst case scenario Dawson's autosubbed, IMO.

      Cheers! As a Begovic owner I think he's one of the least likely to keep a cleansheet...strange Chelsea are at 1.90.

      Van Dijk is very interesting here (6.50), IMO.

      http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/public-stats-tables/view/6810/
      Sort by 'headed goal attempts conceded', and then sort by 'aerial duels lost'. 😯

      Pretty solid team mate, don't think it needs a hit.

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Does the bench order look good to you?

    2. Zasa
      • 11 Years

      Yes, & no to the latter IMO.

      1. The Man Pastore

        well it's just one game. all players good picks in their own right moving forward.

      2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        3-2 would work out fine

  7. 2 Girls 1 Schlupp
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Quick question:
    Bertrand or Cedric

    1. Huddersfield
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Bertie

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Bertrand

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Bertrand

    4. Live Lad
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Bert although I have Cedric. More nailed in, attacking threat..

  8. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Now that I've pick my Aguero replacement thoughts turn to the Captain.
    Still waiting on fitness of Kolarov and Evans, hoping both will be ok.
    Who would you captain from this lot?
    Sanchez
    Pelle
    KDB
    Payet
    Vardy
    Lukaku

    1. sleecc
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Kdb

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Pelle or KDB

    3. Don Look Back in Wenger
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      vardy obviously. considering he even in ur list

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        He hasn't blanked yet! As good as any I guess

  9. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I don't wish anyone to get injured, but Ings' injury is a good news for Sturridge owners 🙂

    1. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      i don't think so. he's going to have to play more minutes, increasing his risk of injury.

  10. Mane in the Bank

    Please RMT ... I'm on a WC with 1.6 ITB

    Myhill Elliott
    Gabriel Naughton Janmaat Davies Souare
    Sanchez KDB Payet Mahrez Mane
    Lukaku Vardy Pelle

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

      Good team and its very similar to mine and I'm not on WC 🙂

      1. Mane in the Bank
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Here's hoping for lots of green arrows for our similar teams 🙂

    2. Moosie the Staggie
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Imo Myhill shouldn't be anywhere near a wildcard team. Im and owner but he is a transfer waiting to happen.

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Why?

        1. Moosie the Staggie
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Foster will almost certainly replace him when fit

          1. Arvin-ation
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            That will probably be next year

              December now

      2. Mane in the Bank
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        My plan is to bring in Howard for him in GW 11. SUNDERLAND & norwich doesn't seem bad for a short term punt on 2 clean sheets.

        1. Moosie the Staggie
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Then that makes perfect sense. Gtg

          1. Moosie the Staggie
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Nightmare benching headache every week though

            1. Mane in the Bank
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Definitely! And I thought benching Hoolahan was difficult.

  11. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    With those that have gone Aguero >> 9.2 and less what are you planning to do with the cash?

    I have westwood which I could turn into 9.6max mid but then Mahrez would be my 5th mid which could become a benching headache most week
    Good or bad problem?

    1. Shifty
      • 12 Years

      Buying whoever the eff i want next week 😎

        AOA looks on the cards if I bring in a strong 5th next week

    2. Zasa
      • 11 Years

      I will invest all of it upfront. Benching headahes are welcome in my team.

    Taking a -4 for Aguero/Bentaleb, which is best?

    A) Costa/Barkley (or Cabaye)
    B) Berahino/De Bruyne

    1. Mane in the Bank
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      B)

      KDB in sensational form. Not sold on Berahino though after his early withdrawal last GW.

      1. AF90
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah probably will do B, don't want to get Vardy as I have Mahrez & not a lot of other cheap options I like.. Would love Lukaku but 0.6 short!

        1. Winston.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Forget Berahino, get Vardy and switch Mahrez to fg Cabaye later if needed...

  13. AF90
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Will have to play Huth or Francis as 3rd defender so think I will go All Out Attack!?

    Cech,
    Kolarov, Alderweireld
    Payet, Ayew, Mahrez, Sanchez, KDB
    Pelle, Martial, Berahino

    Thoughts please? 🙂

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      With that front 8 this GW yep looks good to play it imo

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'm playing mine with Wanyama so you're g2g

    3. Mane in the Bank
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'd be very concerned about wasting the AOA (despite many views that it's pretty useless) given that Ayew is still listed as injured.

    4. Marknlard
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I have a similar front 8 and want to play AOA. But we don't know if Ayew, Mahrez or Sanchez will start - all have question marks.

      1. AF90
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Confident on Ayew as he's playing Monday, think Sanchez will start as he's too important & get subbed off when tired, most worried about Mahrez after being dropped last game! Great badge btw #Bluebirds

        1. Marknlard
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          You could well be correct on all three. Only need one to miss out and the AOA chip is wasted (although I expect it to be worth only a few points, if that, for pretty much every manager).

          Thanks 🙂

      2. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Ayew is back in training and he looks very good and ready. Scroll to 0:33 and 1:16 onwards.

    2 Decisions to Make for this GW now.

    1. Choose a Captain from KDB, Pelle, Sanchez
    2. Choose 1 to start between Francis (man city) or Richards (chelsea)

    1. KDB?
    2. Francis?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Pelle, richards

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      1. Pelle for me
      2. Richards

    3. Marknlard
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I've got the same decisions to make and will go:

      1. KDB
      2. Richards

    4. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Pelle
      Richards

    5. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      As all of the above.

  15. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    My backline is Darmian, Kolarov, Williams plus two non-playing defenders.
    Now should I...

    A. Sell one of the non-playing defenders and buy Bellerin(wat) -4
    B. Use the AOA chip and play Westwood
    C. Just hope that Darmian, Kolarov and Williams all play...(of course waiting for the pressers, but say no more info given...)

    This week maybe A would be worth it, but could Bellerin be benched due to Wednesday's game...?

    Your pick? Thanks.

    1. OPTA FPL

      A

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years

        Bellerin has 2 rested week without football, why on earth is he on the benched?

      A regardless of news, with so many hits about probably a good week to sort that defence out

    Good morning!

    My wc team. Final I hope barring any injuries. I quite like it. Maybe too much.

    Elliot
    Janmaat Bellerin Dawson
    Mane Payet Wally Sanch KDB
    Vardy Pelle (c)

    Howard Ighalo Bertrand Moreno

    What do you think? Bench right?

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Think I prefer Williams to Janmaat

      Looks good otherwise 🙂

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Would've if I could've. Every single penny spent. Thanks Arvin!

    2. Moosie the Staggie
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I would play Howard but I'm a biased toffee.

      Love the Alexis wally double up btw. Team looks fabo

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        You don't think Utd will score or just as you say biased to the point of no reason? 🙂

        Was going back and forth with Mane and Wally all week and couldn't decide so I brought in both. Got rid of Bony for Ighalo. Makes sense really. Now at least. Better balance, easier bench, AOA chip possible with that front 8, makes getting Lukaku, Barkley easy in two weeks if Iwantandthem will have triple Eve.

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Bellerin to Gabriel, upgrade to ddg

        Gabriel too uncertain to play?

    Anyone else optimistic that Chelsea will kick start their season this week and challenge for the title? Is there a late twist left or is it safe to say City are already the champions?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      City are far from the champions

      1. kingozil-The Germans once a…
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        According to me there are only 3 teams capable of winning it City, Arsenal and Chelsea. Chelsea look far from it now, and Arsenal have the tendency to mess up. United, I'm pretty certain are nowhere close to it. According to me it'll finish City, Arsenal, Chelsea.. However as a Chelsea fan I hope we try for the title. There's always that stupid glimmer of hope as a fan.

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I hope Chelsea relegate at worst, or at least dont qualify for top 4, which they wont by the look of it.

          1. kingozil-The Germans once a…
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Quite confident they'll end up in the top 3 with united pool and spurs battling it out for 4th

            1. Eden Hazardous
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              And Southampton too imo

              1. kingozil-The Germans once a…
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                Saints lack depth. There's no chance they'll be running for 4th.

                1. Rolls-Royce
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 4 months ago

                  Saints have better chance than Chelsea tbh.

                  1. kingozil-The Germans once a…

                    So much hatred. ðŸ™

                    1. Rolls-Royce
                      • 12 Years
                      10 years, 4 months ago

                      Haha, You are still getting wrong, i'm just talking about realistic chances of Chelsea, by looking at the fact that the players are in disarray and there is unfit in the squad.

                      Mou has never been in this situation before so thats a big ask and that competition is even fiercer.

                      I don't hate chelsea at all not more than Pool at least. And i said that you cant be confident in Premier league at least. There is challenge of coping with all the different competition ie. Champions league and all.. So it would be very difficult imho.

            2. Rolls-Royce
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              haha nice joke mate. They'll be lucky to finish in top 5. At the moment they aren't even better than Watford.

              1. kingozil-The Germans once a…
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                Clearly you're not too familiar with football. 8 matches are nothing to go by. At the end the quality speaks, and City, Arsenal and Chelsea will definitely be up there.

                1. Rolls-Royce
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 4 months ago

                  Oh really so Chelsea fan boys are more familiar to football now a days hu?
                  Chelsea have a quality manager but if you ask Mou that if he would take top four now he will happily take it, coz there is lot of competition in every match they will be up for it but only if there is significant changes in the team with individual form.
                  Only Mou and hazard is your hope. History says no team has fininshed in top 4 from the position Chelsea are in. You can never be confident in Premier league.

                  1. kingozil-The Germans once a…
                    • 14 Years
                    10 years, 4 months ago

                    Well we are. We have the leagues best manager and the top 3 best squads in the league. We've been poor, but still confident of top 3. Kindly refrain from 2 year old terminology like "fan boys" etc. I'm confident we'll finish, you're confident we wont. Lets see what happens.

                    1. Siva Mohan
                      • 13 Years

                      Man Utd vs Chelsea
                      Nepal vs India

                      people fighting over their team's supremacy.. Friday's morning are not at all boring..

                      1. Rolls-Royce
                        • 12 Years
                        10 years, 4 months ago

                        Yup I can fight all day for my team.

                    2. Rolls-Royce
                      • 12 Years
                      10 years, 4 months ago

                      Best manager my a**s. Tony Pulis is better. Maybe you are in delusion which is getting better of you, it happens.

                      1. kingozil-The Germans once a…
                        • 14 Years
                        10 years, 4 months ago

                        I rate winning the CL, with Porto and Inter and usurping a Guardiola side to win the league big achievements. Definitely the best in the league. Klopp might come come a close second as he has done marvels with Dortmund. But then again if you rate Pulis higher than Mou...there is too much hatred in you.

                  2. kingozil-The Germans once a…
                    • 14 Years
                    10 years, 4 months ago

                    Stop hating on one team. Rather support your own team. Don't understand why you have so much hatred towards Chelsea.

                    1. Rolls-Royce
                      • 12 Years
                      10 years, 4 months ago

                      I dont hate chelsea by any means but we have to be realistic sometimes. Anyway you have your opinion and i have mine.

              2. kingozil-The Germans once a…
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                Moreover the fixture turns for the better now. United have had it easy up until now. Mid season will be a fair guide to judge.

                1. Shifty
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 4 months ago

                  that's a good point about United having had it easy. Completely fluffed our lines the first real test we've had all season.

                  1. kingozil-The Germans once a…
                    • 14 Years
                    10 years, 4 months ago

                    I'm not an ABU or anything of that sorts, but somehow feel your squad isnt yet right. Defence lacks a leader. Martial is destined to be world class. But at 19 he should've had it easier. Too much responsibility. Probably once Martial reaches his peak, you'll be a force to reckon with.

                    1. Shifty
                      • 12 Years
                      10 years, 4 months ago

                      No denial here. It's farcical that we're depending on a 19 year old to lead our line this season in any case. What the squad has now is 'potential'. Considering Ashley Young is our go-to option off the bench when we need a 'gamechanger'....the squad definitely isn't right.

                      That said, we are just 2-3 solid transfers away from a title challenging side.

                      1. kingozil-The Germans once a…
                        • 14 Years
                        10 years, 4 months ago

                        A solid centre back to play with Smalling. Mata should be behind Martial and Rooney should be out. Depay needs some competition. Basically all you neef is a winger and a commanding CB and you'll are set. On the other hand we need to make massive changes in our defence. A CB and a wing back are the need of the hour.

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      They might do well this GW but not sure at all about a total turnaround... and it's definately not safe to say at this stage that City are champions. There are other teams playing as well!

      1. kingozil-The Germans once a…
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Tbh, only Arsenal look like real competitors that too with a certainty that Wenger will mess it up.

    3. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years

      Arsenal will win the title imo (Coming from a Chelsea fan)

      It is amazing. One of my favorite series ever.

      However there is lots of filler in season 1 and 2 since it starts off as a procedural, but the overarching stories are incredible and it is absolutly worth all the filler you get through.

      Just amazing stuff especially in season 3 and 4

          Huge differential if it pans out. Hope it doesn't since I got rid 😉

    FFS should send a journalist to each press conference and ask FF related question(s) .. would do a world of good to fellow players 🙂

      This is one of the best ideas I've ever heard!

      are they allowed to join it?

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        DM are allowed.. anyone could go in I think..

      'Jurgen jurgen, who are you captaining this week mate?

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        lol.. not about their FPL questions.. some questions related to injuries & return dates, players starting etc.. they may not answer every question thou..

        i think you're getting the point of this all wrong

      I propose Daniel son, to go in our steed. When the managers ask people to raise their hands to ask a question, Daniel son will simply shout "juuuuuhuuuuu" & raise his hand, getting picked first every time.

        I prefer Jinwisk, he only goes home after asking these managers 100 times about our players

        1. Zasa
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          ....but who will 'juuuuhuuu' them?

    Morning Dzzz, how we doing? Have so many questions sigh

    1) Kdb or Yaya + 1.7m?..difference between a 4.5m def and say azpi
    2) Keep or sell mahrez on a WC? can sell for 6.1. can get vardy instead?. dont want dbl up
    3) Keep or sell kolorav on a WC? can sell for 5.9..he might be benched this gw but will clichy displace him given that kola is in such good form
    4) Bdavies worth the risk? nailedoness? looks great value
    5) sland def worth the risk? oshea @4.3? good home fixtures

    1. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Kdb
      Sell on WC
      Sell get Kompany
      No
      Hell no

    2. Mr. O'Connell

      yaya
      keep
      keep

      Kdb
      Sell

      suprised by lack of trust in davies and oshea:-/...i genuinely think they are relatively nailed on.
      tough call on yaya vs kdb

    What's the crack with Sanchez? Is he going to be rested at all? Should i not captain him?

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years

      rested? please no..

    Cannot believe I did an -8 pointer this week.

    Think I only did one last season. Filled my quota.

    Makes the head to head weeks much tougher.

    Kolarov better darn well play

    1. Root
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      First time -12 for me.

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      first -4p here

  29. Cocky Spaniel Alves

    Morning!

    Myhill Ruddy
    Kolarov Koscielny Azpilicueta Huth Targett
    Hazard Sanchez Mahrez Mane Bentaleb
    Agüero Vardy Ighalo

    1 FT, 0,1 ITB

    A) Kun => Pelle or Costa
    B) Kun + Mahrez => Pelle + KDB (-4)
    C) Kun + Bentaleb => Pelle + Payet (-4)
    D) Kun + Kos => Pelle or Costa + Bellerin (-4)
    E) Wildcard

    If I did C I'd play AOA this week since I might only have two defenders playing anyway.

    Thoughts on nailedon-ness of elliot and henessey
    - which one is more nailed on?
    - darlow to replace elliot when fit?
    - speroni to replace henessey now that he is fit?
