Sneaking in late like John Terry in a triumphant team photo, Granville gatecrashes this week’s ScoutCast after we drafted in Andy85WSM as his able replacement.

Andy tag teams with Jonty and myself as we look back ten days at the long forgotten Gameweek 12, before grappling with another round of posers from the community.

We cast tentative votes on the Aguero debate, assess Lukaku’s armband credentials, check that we really can write off Chelsea and question whether time is up for Sanchez in the light of Ozil’s streak of assists.

After all that, Granville parachutes in and we get a few minutes to gloat over his injury-ravaged squad. A worthy cameo contribution.

This episode of the ScoutCast was recorded and broadcast live on Wednesday evening, published via our YouTube channel.

      Bolasie...but either/or...

    3. De-spee comme Agüero

      I like Deulofeu.

    Audio-only! Thank you!

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      Those are the worst porno's

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Lol. The scoutcast fulfils a rather different need!

      Normally I go for audio only, but part of me needs to know what granny's looking so, um, animated about in that still

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        10 years, 11 months ago

        You've been sucked in mate! 🙂

  4. Judas
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Is it worth doing Pelle ---> Lukaku tonight to avoid Lukaku's price rise, or just wait until tomorrow?

    No other infernos in my team

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 11 months ago

      He might get injured tonight.

    2. Lallana_
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Pelle does really well at home but I guess it makes sense to get rid of him with Stoke's recent defensive record. Hmm...if it's free it wouldn't be a bad transfer if you have a plan for Kun.

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I think he's doing the transfer regardless.

    3. Lone Wolf FPL
      10 years, 11 months ago

      why u want to wait? do it now.

      1. Judas
        10 years, 11 months ago

        injuries

    4. Ziegler1988
      10 years, 11 months ago

      No need to wait, Everton already issued an injury update today

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 11 months ago

        They confirmed Lukaku won't get injured before the game?

        1. Ziegler1988
          10 years, 11 months ago

          There won't be any updates tomorrow regardless

          1. Epic Fail
            10 years, 11 months ago

            I'm confident if Lukaku breaks his balls tonight because he forgot his safe word we will know about it before the deadline.

  5. Lallana_
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Thanks everyone for indicating that Lukaku should still be on pens with Baines back. With these fixtures, his form and the fact he should be on pens, do you think it's a great time to get him in for Ighalo?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Yes.

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      10 years, 11 months ago

      yes. fantastic calendar for everton!

    3. Effe
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

  6. Sergeant Garcia
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Granville's face though 😀

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Audio-only the way forward. Conclusive.

    2. Gunner77-
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Oooooh Santi Cazorla

      1. stilicho
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I was thinking the love child of b real and groucho marx. It's quite a photo.

  7. Scotty B
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Reid, Clyne, Richards, Van Dijk

    Bench 1 please?

    1. Junebug
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Reid

    2. Gunner77-
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Richards

  8. Junebug
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Any advice appreciated please.
    Myhill (mccarthy)
    Bellerin Monreal Kolarov (Moreno Oxford)
    Coutinho Sanchez Ayew Mahrez Kdb
    Pelle Vardy (Ighalo)
    0 FT 5.0 itb
    Worth a hit for mccarthy to hennesey, as myhill sure to concede vs arsenal and palace at home to sunderland could well be clean sheet?
    Also coutinho (mci a) over ighalo (mun h) right?

  9. Federico
    10 years, 11 months ago

    For some reason i still own Hazard. Would it be plain stupid to captain him, or just very risky?

    0 FT, no Lukaku.

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Bit of both.

    2. stilicho
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure it would be a huge risk with so few armbands on aguero, probably the last week you could get away with a fail.

      1. Federico
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I think Lukaku is my biggest concern. Would captain if I had him, but I'm not so keen on selling Pelle for a hit this week.

  10. Tinmen
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Folks, is Lukaku rising tonight?

      1. Tinmen
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Your dead on

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Likely.

    2. Ziegler1988
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Obligatory ask his missus response

  11. Judas
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Would you start Francis (swa) or Dawson (ARS)?

    1. stilicho
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Dawson

    2. Gunner77-
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Dawson

    3. Jazz!
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Swansea have looked toothless so the logical choice would be Francis. Just have a funny feeling myself that WBA Arsenal will end 0-0...

    4. Ziegler1988
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Francis

    5. Judas
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I just cant see the baggies keeping arsenal out at all. whereas bournmouth looked good last week and could walk all over the falling swans

    6. Sweetpea
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Francis. Both on cs odds and assist threat.

  12. JAC THE CAT
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Defence of

    Kompany, Bellerin, VVD and Rojo

    Bench one please

    1. Ziegler1988
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Rojo

    2. Gunner77-
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Kompany

    3. Dušan Citizen
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Why you have 4 premium defs?

      1. Dušan Citizen
        10 years, 11 months ago

        have got, bla bla

        1. JAC THE CAT
          10 years, 11 months ago

          One is being downgraded soon for Aguero

          I held Kompany during his injury

    4. Sweetpea
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Roe Joe might bench himself with all his travelling.

      1. JAC THE CAT
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Chance of a cameo?

  13. Dušan Citizen
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Ok, why noone mention Anya as 5th mid?

    1. Sweetpea
      10 years, 11 months ago

      She's a good singer alright.

    2. Yellin' in my Ear
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Not a terrible option, but only one assist all season (Watford don't score many). Also has only completed the full 90 once in the last five matches.

  14. Ridgewell's scores
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Doing my head in, but put simply:

    A) Kane
    B) Lukaku

    Cheers.

    1. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Both

  16. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 11 months ago

    5. Özilla Firefox
      10 years, 11 months ago

  17. Judas
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Couldnt be bothered mulling over it tomorrow. Team sorted

    1. Ginola14

      1. Judas
        10 years, 11 months ago

    2. Sweetpea
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Good choice. I have him for a while now.

  18. Sweetpea
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone getting Coutinho next week?

    Looking at Kgb and Pelle to Kun and Couts.

    1. Ginola14
      10 years, 11 months ago

      rather get eriksen

      1. Sweetpea
        10 years, 11 months ago

    2. adidasOriginals
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Couts rising tonight!!

  19. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    10 years, 11 months ago

    So Ted was just Peter Griffin in a bear suit.

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I thought Ted 2 was funnier than Ted.

      1. dcarlito
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Seriously?

        I thought it suffered from severe lack of Mila Kunis.

      2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I've not seen them, just caught 30s right now.
        Worth while?

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 11 months ago

          I suppose.

  20. Whats the Huth
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Sell Ighalo for lukaku?
    I have Kane also.
    I have no Kun plan

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Get a Kun plan.

    2. Sweetpea
      10 years, 11 months ago

      That's the twuth

  21. Numb
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Is anyone here famous in real life? Or related to anyone famous? Or friends with anyone famous?

    1. Whats the Huth
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I am

    2. Epic Fail

      I hung out with Colin Farrell for a while when we were teenagers.
      I once attempted to chat up Andrea Corr.
      I snogged Amanda Byram when we were teenagers.
      I had a pee beside Johnny Logan once 😎
      I sat at the next table to Bono in the Brown Thomas coffee shop.

      That's me done..

      1. the axolotl
        10 years, 11 months ago

        i had a pee beside billy corgan once, the useless eurovisionless also ran 🙂
        i smoked an, um, cigarette, with mani from the stone roses

        1. adidasOriginals
          10 years, 11 months ago

          I've met Mani, Bez, Ian Brown, Liam and Noel and Richard Ashcroft

    6. Raddy
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I saw Jade Goody's mum on a flight once.

      1. Raddy
        10 years, 11 months ago

        My mate also had a pis next to David Cameron once. Apparently he had a massive dong.

        1. Epic Fail
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Your dad had a boner?

        2. the axolotl
          10 years, 11 months ago

          that was a pigs head on the end

      2. Pochecinno
        10 years, 11 months ago

        That is really scraping the barrel

    7. how now brown cow
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I once overtook dave lee travis on a dual carriageway

    8. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I know Darren Fletcher and Steven Whitaker but wouldn't call them friends. My mate is really good friends with Darren.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I went to Catherine Jenkins New Years party and got her trashed on shots. I also drank with Charlotte Church and tried to kiss her when she was with Gavin Henson and pregnant.

        Met few of the Welsh rugby team as well.

        1. the axolotl
          10 years, 11 months ago

          one classy scarecrow. you've courage, i'll give you that! 🙂

          1. Worzel Gummidge
            10 years, 11 months ago

            He wasn't there and was New Year in my defence. She thought I was trying to snog her and started laughing but was just going to kiss her on the cheek at the bells. Honest 🙂

    9. Egg noodle
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I have had a couple of conversations with one of Derby's benefits cheats, does that count? She was in the news n all...

  22. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Isn't anyone worried about Deulofeu's game time?

    Also compare his stats to Barkley's (last 4 gameweeks) if you're a member....

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Game time not guaranteed, but sometimes you gotta roll the dice.

    2. Sweetpea
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I'm on Barkley over Delboy too.

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, and Cleverley in the mix too now.

  23. adidasOriginals
    10 years, 11 months ago

    On a WC this week already.
    Shall I get the KUN transfer done by Saturday or face a likely -4 next week fitting him in?

    1. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Get him on your wildcard. That's what I'm doing

    2. GHB
      10 years, 11 months ago

      If you don't fancy him this week you can easily put another striker in with money itb to get Kun week after. No need for the hit.

  24. Efan Ekoku Pops
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Kun plan (next week):

    KDB + Vardy > Bolassie/Delofeu

    2 FTs

    Good idea?

    1. Sweetpea
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Not possible.

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        It's possible but I wouldn't sell Vardinho

        1. Sweetpea
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Delboy is a milf.

          1. Efan Ekoku Pops
            10 years, 11 months ago

            I meant one of those two + Aguero.

            1. Sweetpea
              10 years, 11 months ago

              Ah ok. Get delboy over bolasie.

              1. Efan Ekoku Pops
                10 years, 11 months ago

                Cheers.

        2. Efan Ekoku Pops
          10 years, 11 months ago

          I've already got Kane and Lukaku, someone needs to make way, at least when Kun starts firing.

      2. Efan Ekoku Pops
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Funnily enough, Aguero is the other player.

    2. Raddy
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Nope

  25. how now brown cow
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Draft 148...

    Ddg Hennessey
    Bertrand Bellerin Dier Moreno Simpson
    Sterling Ozil Coutinho Mahrez Stanislas
    Kane Aguero Lukaku

    Cash is more evenly spread after losing alexis and kolarov. Can see myself regretting relying on simpson and stanislas though.

    Midfield still too weak?

    1. ​
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I prefered #102

      1. how now brown cow
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Ha, you know what, i reckon i did too.

        1. ​
          10 years, 11 months ago

          😛 To be honest I really like it if you can stomach being angry with Coutinho's wild shooting.

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I really like it. Stop tinkering. I will have that front 3 by next GW for a -4

    3. Pochecinno
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Anything in the bank to upgrade Simpson/Stanislas? I like the balance in your team 🙂

      1. how now brown cow
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Not a bean! Would have to lose a bit from defence or go sterling to yaya.

        1. Pochecinno
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Don't mess around with your defence, looks finely balanced. I wouldn't downgrade Sterling to Yaya just for the funds. Pick the one who you think is better.

          TBH, I wouldn't worry about Stanislas and Simpson. The important thing is that they are nailed-on. Simpson seems to be, are we sure about Stanislas?

          1. how now brown cow
            10 years, 11 months ago

            No. 4.2 is scraping the barrel. No options.

            Dier to walker is another option, but as you know, he's not done much in opposition half this season.

    4. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Yes Yes
      Yes Yes Not Sure Yes Enabler
      Cool Yes Nah Yes Nah
      Yes Yes Yes

      1. how now brown cow
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Who would you go for instead of coutinho? Deulofeu feels a bit wandwagony and short term, especially with luk up top. Payet would have been ideal.

  26. Dimen
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Is Rose nailed on for Spurs?

    1. stilicho
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 11 months ago

      No

    2. how now brown cow

      Likely to play the next few, but as long as davies is fit there will always be some rotation.

      1. Pochecinno
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I think Davies has become the cup/europa preference. Rose is the superior player imo

    3. Sweetpea
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I think he is.

    Lukaku and Deulofeu too much Everton?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Not if they bring in lots of points.

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        10 years, 11 months ago

        do you think they will?

        1. Epic Fail
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Probably.

      Not at the moment, no. Dflu seems to assist most of Lukaku's goals. That's 7 points a pop plus bonuses. mmmm

    3. Sweetpea
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Both good options in their own right.

  28. Feed tha Sheep
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Best option?
    A. Payet > Ozil (means would take a few weeks to get agureo)
    B. Downgrade Payet (would mean could get Agureo next week)

  29. For Fuchs Sake
    10 years, 11 months ago

    How come Sanchez doesn't have a yellow "i" next to his name, I thought he was an injury doubt?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 11 months ago

      He played innit.

    2. Pochecinno
      10 years, 11 months ago

      No he played the whole match for Chile

    3. Raddy
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Nope. Was a doubt before second Chile game, but played 90 mins so is considered fit.

    4. Jazz!
      10 years, 11 months ago

      And then he started for Chile.

    5. Hooky
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe there could be a pink flag if a player is 'a bit tired'

    da Gea
    Cedric | Janmaat | Souaré
    Sánchez | De Bruyne | Mané | Willian
    Lukaku | Pellè | Ighalo

    Cathcart | Surman | Moreno | Hennessey

    1FT
    4.6M

    STRATEGY A

    Pellè --> Kane. I'll then do my best to wait it out until GW16 for Ighalo --> Agüero with De Bruyne making way for Lanzini.

    STRATEGY B

    Ighalo --> Kane. I would then get on Pellè --> Agüero early with De Bruyne making way for Bolasie or Deulofeu (-4).
