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.

      I think he'll do ok tbh.
      Not sure I'll captain him over the likes of Vardy/De Bruyne.

      Good luck with it

    So is the west brom double up more preferred than playing hennesey with Dawson this week? Thinking to play Myhill but hennesey has been scoring big on my bench lately.

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think Myhill has the better chance of points myself

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He's lying

  4. Az

    Hello friends! Could I please trouble you all for some advice?

    Current team:

    --------------------------Myhill--------------------------------------
    ----------Darmian*--------Kolarov---------Bellerin*----------------
    ------Sanchez----De Bruyne----Payet——Mane-----Mahrez----
    -------------------Igahlo------------Vardy---------------------------

    Subs: McCarthy, Costa, Martin*, Richards

    1FT
    1.2 ITB
    AoA Played

    So am thinking of taking a hit to sort out my mess of a defence. Darmian & Martin --> Rojo and Moreno (-4) seem sensible?

    Also seems mad to be benching Costa, but is there anyone you would bench over him? I know Payet seems to be the favourite for the bench this week, but I am definitely playing the little magician.

    Thanks!

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't take a hit.

      Just do Damian > moreno

    2. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Good moves, do it. Though Costa on the bench might burn you.

  5. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Jax here?
    I'm a man of my word, so...Who would you recommend to captain out of De Bruyne, Vardy, Mahrez, Pelle, Sanchez, Kane?

    1. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez/Vardy gets my vote.
      I'll be going Mahrez.

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

        I'd really like to have a captain on Sunday, but I don't know why I'd want to complicate, pretty sure the Leicester pair is going to get something again.

  6. Lovren an elevator
    • 10 Years

    Any injuries from the spurs or Liverpool games tonight?

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

    Moreno & Smalling in for Huth & Souare for a hit worth it?

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

      Not for a hit imo, maybe just Souare > Smalling

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hits for defenders. I think not. How would it work out if you made just the one transfer without the hit? If you can last crystal palace have good fixtures coming.

  8. t4thomas

    I have up to 7.3M.

    a) Cabaye - liv, SUN, NEW, eve, SOT, sto
    b) Sissoko - bou, LEI, cpl, LIV, tot, AVL
    c) Willian - sto, NOR, tot, BOU, lei, SUN

    I don't want to say anything to influence your opinion.

    Who would you pick and why?

    1. Hy liverpool

    2. Cheeseoid

        I think I'll start playing seriously now.
        And am I really known as that now? Cool

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          why not? It is a good nickname but unfortunately in FPL terms has negative connotations.

    How did Benteke play tonight folks?

    I've got him captain at the moment but after Kane scoring his 5th goal in three games I think I'm gonna switch to him.

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

      A huge gamble to captain Kane against Arsenal..
      Yes I can see him scoring, but not more than one.
      Benteke at least has a realistic chance if scoring at least 2 or 3.

      1. badger1982

      1. Harper_

        1. Ayew Serious

    Does anyone have any knowledge on how Garde sets up his teams?
    I'm thinking of captaining Bony, but I'm not sure if Garde plays a stu born defensive style like Pulis, or 5 at the back or something..

    Mahrez or Bony captain?

    1. rykom1ke
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Help! Who do I bench/captain!? Changing my mind constantly!
      Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mane, Mahrez
      Pelle, Vardy, Ighalo

  29. get_in
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bench one:

    A) Mahrez
    B) Payet
    C) Mane
    D) Kane
    E) Pelle

    AOA played, leaning towards Kane after the hot topic on the derby

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

      Payet or Kane. Kane will either blank or step up big time. I see WHU v. Eve being a 0-0

      1. get_in
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Payet isn't a bad shout actuall

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          I'm benching Payet so he is bound to score at least twice...

    GTG?

    DDG - (Hennessey)
    Kompany - Moreno - VVD - (Dier - Simpson)
    KDB - Mane - Sanchez - Barkley - (Drinkwater)
    Lukaku - Vardy(c) - Kane

    1 FT & 0.5 ITB.

    Hold transfer?

    1. get_in
      • 13 Years

      Looks good, always a fan of saving a transfer rather than doing a sideways move
