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.

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

    Back from a long vacation, what to do with this team?

    Myhill/Hennessey
    Kolarov, Moreno, Janmaat, Souare, Smith
    Sanchez, KDB, Mane, Mahrez, Westwood
    Pelle, Lukaku, Vardy

    1FT, 5.0 Kun fund ITB

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      It looks quite strong TBH.

      I think you should save, or switch Pelle to Kane whilst you wait for Aguero to find his feet.

    2. BUZZBOMB ♡

      10 years, 8 months ago

      Hold for this week. Await Aguero playing time and form evidence and enjoy luxury of playing with keepers and defence without denting your Kun pot if no other issues present themselves for a couple weeks. Vardy may play and Pelle has a good fixture this week. A few different players from me (Boruc/Butland here), but this is my strategy for now.

  2. Torreslove
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    cedric to bertrand for a hit or play evans?

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Cedric will probably start so don't do the hit.

      1. Torreslove
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        worried yoshida might get the start

        1. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          He is a rotation risk now, there's no doubt about it, but I wouldn't do it for a hit. Play Cedric with Evans first defence bench

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Is Cedric a doubt?

      1. Torreslove
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        no, but he got benched last week. I need a guaranteed starter

  3. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    West Brom are seriously underrated by the bookies

    5/1 at home against Arsenal 😯

    Maybe the win is a bit of a long stretch but 10/3 for the draw looks tasty

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      They tend to crumble against big teams, but still decent odds

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Go put a bet on it then!

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        FWIW I think those odds are about right.

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Might do a score draw at 4/1

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Well I'm playing Myhill so hope it's a 0-0 🙂

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        no chance.

      2. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I have Sanchez so I am hoping for a hatty from him with 100 saves from Myhill.

  4. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Would you play Deulofeu over any of the following this week:
    KDB
    Mane
    Mahrez
    Sanchez

    ????

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Toughie.

      If you have Pelle, then maybe ahead of Mane - who tends to be poor after a IB.

    2. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Mane maybe.

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Mane is absolute shite after internationals.waste of space

      Unfortunately i don't have a question about PlayOn at this moment in time, Killian. Just wanted to say hi, and i hope you're well.

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years

        People that don't capitalise their "i"s..... 😡

      2. PlayON
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Hi Demi,
        All well thanks - hope the same with you.
        If NBA isn't your thing we have lots of Premier League and Champions League games available too.
        We've also got a newly styled site so I'd welcome any thoughts you have on it.
        Thanks

        1. Demí
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers Killian, i'm a fan of the NBA so approve of the new addition. I am still waiting for Paypal to hopefully become an option with you in the near future

          1. PlayON
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            We have been focused on getting our mobile site launched and improve the styling of the site but we are now working on getting PayPal live and hope to have in over the next few months.

    Buried on last page.

    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).

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Depends when Kun is firing. I'd go strategy A though, Ighalo has a nice run of fixtures; Pellè is just a donkey now.

      1. t4thomas
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, agree. Strategy A for the win. But could save and re-assess.

    2. Hubert
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      B

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I personally think you should look to get kun in next gw. He will shoot up in price by gw 16 and will be everyone captain choice.

  7. SMOOTH
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    lukaku rise will be tight !!

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He will rise.

      1. SMOOTH
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        5% in 3 hours can be tight as it is late in the UK. i want to get him but want to hear news on zouma bony and aguero tomorrow

        1. t4thomas
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          He will rise.

  8. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Who to start?
    A) Mane
    B) Ighalo (have DDG in goal)

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Mane

    2. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      A.

    3. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      A - even if you didn't have DDG in goal

    4. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Exactly what I was thinking of. Thanks.

  9. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    who'd you bench:

    Sanchez (wba) - KDB (LIV) - Mane (STK) - Ayew (BOU) - Mahrez (new)
    Kane (WHU) - Pelle (STK) - Vardy (new)

    ??

    1. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Vardy is a doubt isn't he?

    2. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Be brave, one of Sanchez or KDB.

  10. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Myhill to De Gea for a 4 point hit?

    Worth it or not?

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      No

  11. Dimen
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    I am thinking of bringing on Coleman for this GW. Is that stupid with Baines back and only costs 0.2 more? I feel a Coleman goal coming...

  12. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Payet out Deulofeu in has been my 1FT. Have one more and Vardy and Bony are flagged. What are the chances of both of them starting.

    Should I do Bony -> Aguero.

  13. seanie3
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    who to bring in for payet (already have lukaku)

    a) Deulofeu
    b) Coutinho

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Neither.

      1. seanie3
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        who do you recommend then?

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      a)

    3. adidasOriginals
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      A if thats the options

      1. seanie3
        • 15 Years

        who would you recommend to bring in I already have ozil, mahrez & kdb

    4. Straight Outta Brompton

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

      Ozil

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Oh sorry missed that you had him.willian?

  14. adidasOriginals
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Is Sanchez really looking worthy of a transfer out?

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      You'll regret it

    2. Straight Outta Brompton
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Nope

    3. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      no way.

  15. Teahupo'o
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Evening gents.

    Schmeichel
    Alder Azpi Kolarov
    Mane Sanchez Mahrez Payet
    Pelle Vardy Bony

    (Butland, Bellerin Anya Francis)
    2FT Bank=4.2

    Which 2 of the following to bring in for Payet & Bony?
    Bolasie Cabaye Deulofeu
    Kane Lukaku

  16. MiguelAngel
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Evening all
    2 FT advice please.

    Butland Begovic
    Bertrand Sagna Dawson Toby Browning
    Mane Mahrez KDB Sanchez Yaya
    Lukaku Vardy Pelle

    A) Downgrade Yaya to benchwarmer and save a FT to bring in Kun for Pelle next week
    B) Leave Kun for now and do Yaya & Pelle > Bolasie/Delofeu & Kane

  17. Ridgewell's scores
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Do you really think it's worth doubling up on Everton with Lukaku and Delboy when I could have Kane and still have funds to get Aguero?

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

      1. Ridgewell's scores
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I just have having Lukaku, he always lets me down. Am I missing something? Besides fixtures being obviously in Lukaku's favour, Kane seems to be in as good form if not even better.

        1. Ridgewell's scores
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          hate*

          1. RoysCallerAnne
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            I think Kane and Lukaku should both do pretty (equally) well over the next few. Lukaku cheaper.

            1. Ridgewell's scores
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              Money's not really a problem, but fair enough. Thanks!

  18. Brian (Not the Messiah)
    • 16 Years

    Worth doing Pelle-> Kun?

    1. Jimbo123
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'm doing that next week.....

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah next week.

    2. Ridgewell's scores

      Next week sure, not this week.

    Payet to drop tonight?

    1. Teahupo'o
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Likely

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah looks like that. Not sure how accurate FPL stats is for price drops.

        Looks like that's another 0.1m lost then. Have to wait for City press conference before making moves

    2. Kevtheotter
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah looks like it unfortunately

    3. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      yes and I still don't know who to get in for him!

    4. seanie3
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      yep

    5. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers guys.

      Super annoying to be honest. Feel like I have to make my decision tonight as that will be 0,2m I've lost once he drops again

  20. That Was Easy!
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Great to see Belle and VVD healthy.

    Has there been no news on Kompany? Something that'll be addressed tomorrow by Pelle
    I'm guessing?

  21. Kevtheotter
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Hey lads!

    So I'm a bit torn on what to do this week

    Butland
    Pellerin Rojo Evans
    Sanchez Payet Marhez KDB
    Vardy Pelle Kane(c)

    McCarthy Huth Richards Deadwood 1FT 3.5 ITB

    With Payet falling and Lukaku rising tonight and still awaiting news on Kun no too sure what to do.

    A) Payet out tonight to Ozil then have a headache to get Kun in next week
    B) Payet to Bolasie/Someone else
    C) Wait for news and eat the drops and rises

    Cheers

  23. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    On a WC. In order to bring in Kun this week, it means sacrificing either Sanchez or KDB. Worth it, or wait a week or two? Mids are KDB, Sanchez, Ozil, Deluo and Mahrez

    1. Ridgewell's scores
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'd axe Sanchez if I had to.

  24. Jimbo123
    • 16 Years

    Captain Mahrez or Monday night punt Bolasie (c) ?

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Mahrez

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Don't own Kane or Lukaku?

      1. Jimbo123
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Lukaku, but not going to captain him.

        Want a midfield punt for the armband and have a sneaky feeling Villa will stand strong at Goodison......

      It's Jonty...it gets him every time! Says a lot about his CD collection I reckon 😉

        It's him actually, yes 🙂

    Can anyone explain the Crystal Palace defence to me, like Ward, Souare or Dann

    I'm kinda confused, loving the look of their fixtures though

    1. Gooner97

      Souare best option imho.

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Is he a rotation risk? - I'm slightly clueless but I know he didn't play 2 games

    2. Demí

      Dann the most nailed. His partner is Delaney who should also start most games. Souare nailed and *should* start every game if fit. Ward only just back from injury, could win his spot back this weekend from Kelly and he'd then have it permanently. IMO

        Thanks Demi, it seems Souare is the best option

    Lot of Bolasie love, but Cabaye seems more prolific at £0.5 more. Anyone going with Yohan?

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years

      Cabaye = 4 goals, 4 pens. If i had to get one of them, i would prefer him over Bolasie. But i really don't rate either as fpl options tbh

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        on 4 yellow though

      2. Demí
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        *3 pens

        Also, what Jax said

        1. Pompel

          cheers guys - 4 yellows makes me think twice at this point
