Following on from Halloween, it’s time to revisit a horror show Gameweek from Granville.

Having gathered an array of green arrows in recent weeks, my ScoutCast co-host produced a pair of transfer howlers, watching on from behind the sofa as both Philippe Coutinho and Riyad Mahrez banged nails into his Gameweek coffin.

Jonty and I do our best to dwell on Granville’s misery for as long as possible, before attempting to cheer him up with similarly scary tales from the community in “Rough with the Smooth”.

We then take on your questions, debating Leicester’s legs, United’s decline and whether we can actually tame the Fantasy Football troll that is Romelu Lukaku.

This episode of the ScoutCast was broadcast live on Tuesday evening (before the news on Hector Bellerin’s injury) via our YouTube channel.

You can catch the full un-edited version of this episode via the larger player below, or take in the “polished” audio effort via this link or the smaller player.

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

    hey guys in a bit of a jam here. Would like your suggestions on what changes to make. I personally have my own but two heads are better than one.

    Myhill-Schmeichel
    Bellerin-Monreal-Sagna-Cresswell-Fonte
    Cabaye-De Bruyne-Mane-Mahrez-Payet
    Pelle-Kane-Vardy

    My suggested changes for this GW
    1.Hart for Myhill
    2.Van Dijk for Fonte
    3.Smalling for Bellerin
    4.Ighalo for Kane

    What are your thoughts?

    1. drcooper817
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      3

    2. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't make any of those changes personally.
      1 is too expensive for no save points or bonus
      2 is too sideways
      3 I I like the idea of having both arsenal full backs
      4 keep Kane- in form.

      I'd consider upgrading Seychelles or Cabaye

      1. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Seychelles????
        *Schmeichel

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          😆 We've got inside your head already and its two weeks til the start of the tourney

          1. Robben Mee Blind
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Think you must be right. I've not yet supported my team by replacing Butland with Bhutan! 🙂

      2. masterforde
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        hmmm good responses esp for number (3). I like the idea of both arsenal full backs as well and I also didnt want to drop Kane but still would like to maximize pts with clean sheets.

        1. Robben Mee Blind
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Schmeichel to DDG is an option in that case, though your defence looks too expensive as it is to be honest

  6. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Sagna - Dawson - Dawson

    Stick with this back 3 or do Darmian to Rojo/Moreno and bench Dawson?

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Williams* - Sagna - Dawson

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

      Double Dawson ain't ideal with tough fixtures coming

      Darmian >> Moreno

    3. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Deciding between Moreno and Rojo for my FT this week as well... what are you thinking?

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

        Done Darmain >> Moreno today and probably play Williams ahead of him next week (Williams Bou) Moreno(City)

        1. BIG TONES
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Fair moves... although you want to be rid of Williams sooner rather than later

          Ditched him a week ago and it felt great

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

            Yep after Bou he's a gonna

            1. BIG TONES
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Do you have United defence cover?

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

                Nope, DDG probably best value but looking at Rojo just unsure how nailed he is. Smalling at 6.5 and Kun return can't fit him in.

                1. BIG TONES
                  • 11 Years
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  Yeah I'm thinking DDG next week, but have a feeling I'll have more pressing concerns by then.

                  You don't think Rojo is nailed? I think he more or less is...

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

                    Will see over the next 2 weeks. Blind Young could play at right back but seems nailed atm

  7. niloh1
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    is it worth a hit to get in mane as my fifth mid? I basically have 2 playing defenders with Kolarov and Monreal, so I was planning on playing my AOA chip. is it worth using this week? or save it and get rid of Darmian for a hit for another defender? any thoughts?

    my current team

    Myhill Hennessey

    Kolarov Monreal Darmian Davies Targett

    Sanches KDB Payet Mahrez Westwood

    Pelle Vardy Bony

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

      With Kun so close to a return I'd be keeping Westwood and shipping Darmain >> Rojo/Moreno as Darmain looking a big rotation risk

  8. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Love these GW's with multiple captain choices being taken up.

    Great chance for a steep rise through the rankings.

    Or fall...

  9. melvinmbabazi

      2
      Pool, Utd

  11. Zareos
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Rojo nailed or should I go for Smalling?

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Smalling for security

  12. TheEgyptianKing
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Having a problem or which defender to play 🙁

    I have Kolarov and Morenoooo who are deffo going to start in my team (Hopefully clichy stays away tho)
    Bellerin is injured so my last 2 defenders are:

    Alderweireld and Evans , who would you play

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

      Evans

      1. TheEgyptianKing
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Okay. thanks

        1. Squiggle
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Play Bellerin anyway and let the autosubs kick in if he doesn't play.

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

    Who would you rather have?

    A) Ozil
    Or
    B) Mahrez

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

      B Value

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Real life Ozil, Fpl Mahrez.

    2. sleecc
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B
      Surely you have Sanchez and not owning Mahrez will hurt you. He keeps delivering and is owned by a lot of people.
      I have both.

    4. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez

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

      Leicester's fixtures turning though?

      WAT, new, MUN, swa, CHE, eve

      vs

      TOT, wba, nor, SUN, avl, MCY

      Thanks all 🙂

    @Matt Le Tis,

    Have Montenegro got a full team yet?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      *lurking for the answer

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

      Not sure, I haven't received a email from the cap to tell our full team, might be worth emailing the captain

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Okay cheers 🙂

  14. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Likely to bring in Bellerin/Moreno/Kos, but sho to release?

    a) Cresswell
    b) Martin
    c) Francis

    Schmeichel Gomes
    Cresswell Kolarov Francis Martin Jones
    KDB Payet Mahrez Sanchez Westwood
    Vardy Ighalo Pelle

    £4.5ITB & 1FT

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Francis

  15. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Dropped Mane for Mahrez. I'm sure that's going to bite me in the bum. Second time I get rid of Mane this season. Last time he scored a brace after I got rid. Still, feels good to own Mahrez again. Selling him on my wc after he was benched two weeks in a row hurt too. Lose / lose??

    1. Squiggle
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Feels like a sideways move to be honest. Surely you could have moved someone else?

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sanchez, Payet, KDB, Özil.
        And i have Pelle.

        1. Squiggle
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I see. But you also have Vardy. Team looks really good as is. A saved transfer might be really useful for when Aguero is back.

      2. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        But if you meant my whole team, it read like this
        Howard Elliot
        Bellerin Moreno Janmaat Dawson Bertrand
        Mids above
        Vardy Ighalo Pelle

        Still have another ft. What would you have done?

        1. Squiggle
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Ah, you have a FT to burn. Team looks great, maybe a move that would put you in position to bring Aguero back in.

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That feels wrong... If you drop Mane it should be to plan Kun's return

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This is. Freed funds innit.

  16. InSaneMan-e
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mitrovich captain?

    What does everyone think?

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Too risky for moi. But I'm a sissy with my cap choices.

    2. Jape
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Could pay off, but I wouldn't do it myself

    3. Emp
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      in a week where cptain choices so varied id say go for it ! Im capping sterling myself 😛

    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anything worth a hit here?

    DDG
    Clyne Amavi Evans
    KDB Payet Mane Mahrez (v)
    Lukaku Pelle Benteke (C)

    McCarthy, Bellerin, Nyom, Eriksen

    Good to go?

    Hi DZ, any input on what to do here would be very much appreciated:

    Cech (Hennessey)
    Williams, kolarov, Cedric (huth, Burke)
    Mane, Sanchez, mahrez, yaya (payet)
    Pelle, vardy, mitrovic

    1. Jafalad

      1. Arvin-ation

    2. Emp

    Anybody having trouble with the FPL site?

      yeah but if I scroll right down it has everything there

    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anything worth a hit here?

    DDG
    Clyne Amavi Evans
    KDB Payet Mane Mahrez (v)
    Lukaku Pelle Benteke (C)

    McCarthy, Bellerin, Nyom, Eriksen

    Good to go?

    (Sorry for the repost)

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No.

      Eriksen 1st sub.

        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        yes, obviously. Hopefully he stays quiet. Thanks 🙂

    2. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good to me.

    3. Jape
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nyom over Amavi.

      Good to go otherwise. Quite like the captain choice too

        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        What's the reasonig behind playing Nyom against in-form Leicester team?

        1. Jape
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Because Amavi is playing Manchester City...

            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Thought this new Villa manager might tighten things up at the back?

            1. Jape
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              He might do, but I doubt in his first game. Even if he did City would find a way through.

                • 14 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                he has always played a high possession attacking game where they concede alot. would go nyom easily.

      Not at all.

    Hey lads... I can't study and I feel sick. Nothing like a bit of FFS to make me feel better.

    how are we all?

      Good mate.

      What're you studying for?

          Oh nice. Not long then. What course?

            Yeah not long at all..hit the final furlong but have no motivation. Doing medicine

            1. Jape
              • 10 Years

                cheers mate. procrastination is peaking at the moment!

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Quite fine, on short vacation in the US. Reading Machiavelli and wondering whether Benteke is the right captain choice...

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sounds great. where are you from?

        Benteke is a risk... I think having him in your side is differential enough

          Will probably decide just before the deadline, it's between him and Mahrez.

            Yeah I would go Mahrez but Benteke is a big threat.

              I'll leave this decision for later. Some drinks may help to get it right. Take care

    Help me with my defense (no chance of AOA, Wanyama as the fifth mid)

    *Bellerin* (TOT) - *Janmaat* (bou) - Zouma (stk) - Coleman (whu) - Targett (not playing)

    1FT, 4,7 ITB

    A) Bellerin out for Moreno/Smalling
    B) Targett out for Moreno/Smalling
    C) Save and play Coleman, Zouma, Janmaat (and hope that Janmaat really plays)

    1. Jape
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      C. Janmaat will play.

      B also a good option though

    2. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I have the same situation and I'm going C. I think upgrading Target makes you have too much money in your defence.

      That's as close at we get to Bellerin not playing, bar Arsne saying something different on his presser later on today?

    Bench one:

    a) Willian (stoke)
    b) Ayew (norwich)
    c) Ighalo (leicester)
    d) Mane (sunderland)

      Willian if you ask me.

        Oh Willian by bad still A

          Ha

    3. Pochecinno

      a

      1. Cornholi0
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Willian is the obvious one, but he plays the 17.30 match and Butland can`t play like last week every week can he???

        1. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Why not he's in the form of his life. In any case the other three have better form and better fixtures

          1. Cornholi0
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            True true. Should never transfered in Willian in the first place, but I saw the CL match wednesay with some friands, and right before his freekick (bad keeper) I said to them:

            "If Willian score this i will bring him in to my FPL team".

            Lesson learned

            1. Pochecinno
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Lol. Willian is still a good buy and at least you've got him in before the bandwagon starts so I wouldn't regret it.

    4. Jape
      • 10 Years

      Ayew.

      Don't bench Chelseas only good player at the minute.

        unless he scores form a free kick it'll be 0-0 anyway :p

        1. Jape
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Haha true, but Stoke usually give away a lot of free kicks 😛

    Hoolahan or Soare* out perhaps?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Soare to Moreno or Smalling/Rojo

  26. Oz lotto

    Lads my defence is:
    Bellerin Cedric Kolarov Nyom and Francis

    Have 1 FT... would you do Francis --> Rojo?
    This is with a view to get rid of Kolarov once the rotation starts but I don't know if burning a free is worth it!

    1. karvs155
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Francis->Rojo sounds good mate

      1. Cornholi0
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I would

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

      No Rojo, start Francis. Transfer will be ideal come Int'l break.

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        yeah cheers mate. still have my WC too!

    3. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Save the FT. Also if you plan to get Kolarov anyway do Kolarov to Rojo when you do it

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        yeah it was more of a round about way of getting there to cover belle.... who knows. bournemouth might pull a CS out

        1. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Cedric, Nyom and Francis are nailed-on so you'll definitely have at leas 3 playing defenders anyway. So you're already covered for Bellerin

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

    Team good to go for the weekend?

    DDG
    Kompany - Belle - VVD
    KDB - Mahrez - Wijnaldum - San(c)hez
    Pelle - Lukaku - Vardy

    Bench: McCarthy; Payet, Evans, Richards

    Having trouble deciding what 7 to start of the front 8! Any thoughts?

    Wouldn't be opposed to benching any of: Wijnaldum, Payet, Mahrez.

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      don't bench Payet over Wijnaldum for me.

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

        If I wanted to play both Wij and Payet, bench Mahrez?

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn't

    2. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bench Pelle, start Evans

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

        Evans will come in, would rather keep hopes of Belle open. I don't mind the thought of Pelle on the bench.

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I'm captaining Pelle ahah

      2. Squiggle
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Wouldn't agree with either but that's just my own opinion.

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

      Same front 8 as me and its Wijnaldum or Payet for the bench.

      Not temped by Lukaku for the Armband? Nice team btw

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

        Very tempted by Lukaku, but Arsenal have always been strong in the NLD.

        Considering my entire front 8 as captains...

        I really want to play Wijnaldum, but not at the cost of Payet. Might consider benching Pelle.

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

          Poor away stats but he hasn't played Sunderland yet. I fancy Payet and Wijnaldum going well and as I've used my AOA chip!! My gut says Vardy with blank this GW but stats say something very different. Sorry I can't help you I'm so confused...

    4. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you're willing to bench one of Payet and Mahrez then you make your own bed and sleep in it. They are unbenchable at the moment. Some of the more expensive players in your team are more benchable. Don't be fooled by price and team. Though I would probably bench Wijnaldum

    5. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd bench Wijnaldum or Pellè, I think.

    6. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same front 8 as me except I've go Özil instead of Mahrez.

      I'm benching Pelle.
