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.

    Even with Aguero back, if the current front 3 is still banging in goals, there seems to be no immediate need of the Argentine.
    I would be happy if Lukaku, Pelle, Ighalo, vardy and Benteke keep delivering. Unless Aguero goes off and gets 25 points.

      You forgot Kane in that list....I agree....I'd be quite happy if he sat out the rest of the season. I love these picks mix forward lines. The game itself is better without him.

        Well put, Dr. Absence of Aguero creates much greater roster variety / differentiation, and that adds to the game. Many more combinations and risk/rewards.

      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That's the problem for Bony owners, they don't have the option to hold off bringing him in. Big disadvantage for them if Kun starts off slow while others are still doing well.

    Dembele 2-1!

    Using AOA and defence is:

    VVD Bellerin (Cresswell Alderweireld Richards)

    a) Save transfer to have 2ft for the break and Cresswell probably comes on for Bellerin
    b) Use ft to do Cresswell to Moreno

    Thanks.

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 14 Years

      If you have been to gravatar and put in a picture then the common problem tends to be the rating on the picture at gravatar. Set it to G

    2. Dr Joness
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      All I can think of is.. Make sure you've used the same email address here and on the Gravatar site.. Log in and out on here.. And make sure when you chose the picture you selected the PG rated one, or whatever is the least rated.

    3. Alittude

              10 years, 1 month ago

              I did unfortunately. Was quite sick at the start of the season and forgot about making a team until a friend reminded me a couple weeks later.

      Save your FT, and sell My little Pony next GW when Aguero returns, and use the other FT to good use.

      1. Calderano FC

      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

      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.

    5. Lovren an elevator

      Any injuries from the spurs or Liverpool games tonight?

    6. 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.
