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.

    NTI/NTO reset is ONLY when a player goes straight from red flag to green flag, right?

      Any flag removal I think.

      Big controversy with RvP couple years ago because his price never changed with flags on and off.

        interesting

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I wouldn't go that far.

        They've probably changed the algorithm since then to make that less likely to happen again.

    Jonty reminds me of Ben from Lost. Not in a bad way. I like Ben. Not in that way either.

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years

      Benjamin Linus?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Haha yeah.

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

          Not in a bad way? So you are definitely saying that Jonty does not have pathologically dictatorial tendencies?

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            I am a fan of Ben's work.. 😉

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

              Desmond was hands down my favourite character

              1. Davido989
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                His visions were a bit weird at times. I liked Charlie, but then he died. 🙁

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

                  He I liked Charlie too.

      what a great show still watch it alot

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I'm rewatching it. Season 5 now

        I loved it.

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          amazing iv all the box sets here.. Kate 🙂

      2. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        The first 2/3 seasons were probably the best TV I have seen. Character development was amazing.

        Desmond, Ben, Charlie, Saeed, Jack, Sawyer, Eko - just some of the amazing characters they had.

        But I think they lost control of the plot at some point and it ended disastrously imo

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          True. It just dragged on a bit. But as a first time watch, it's brilliant

        2. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          this guy agrees with you and these videos are compelling viewing if you're interested.. didnt runi my enjoyment of it all whatsoever but these are great

            10 years, 4 months ago

            Cheers will have a watch. Should jog my memory a little as I haven't watched it since the final season was aired

            1. KingNidge
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              hard to stop watching them this guy doesnt miss a trick

  3. Ayew Serious

    Exciting transfers, I can't help but fantasise about the impact Surman and Souare make

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Surman owners rock.

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I don't own him yet so I guess I lava

    From a scale from 0 to Jamie Vardy, how hot am I right now?

    1. sinik

      you're "Mugatu's subtle love slave that he spills coffee on" hot

    Any further news on Vardy?

      Yep, I just sold his racist arse

      1. Davido989

        get banged.

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

          But he didn't chat sh!t

      2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I see. Which forwards do you now have?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Sold him for Lukaku, have Kane with Ighalo benched, selling Iggy for Aguero next week

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Blimey. Must affect your midfield somewhat ...

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

                Wow. You managed to fit them all in. How bad is your defence?

                1. The Bandit
                  • 15 Years
                  10 years, 4 months ago

                  I would have to downgrade def to keep four of those

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

                    Would be introducing to see what the final squad will look like. An Aguero/Kane/Lukaku will definitely require sacrificing either the premium mids or defence

                    1. The Bandit
                      • 15 Years
                      10 years, 4 months ago

                Very nice.

                Very interesting. Backing a Leicester regression. Me too.

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

              It would only affect the possibility of having both KDB/Sanchez

              1. The Bandit
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                I could keep both if I downgrade Kolarov but tbh I'm not sure I want both. Big audition week for them

    DDG/4.0
    Kolarov//Bellerin//VVD//Cathcart//Simpson

    Thinking I'll do Kolarov to Dier, Cathcart to Moreno, good move?

    A bit of anxiety around not having a city defender though, especially when most in my MLs do....

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Cathcart has some nice fixtures coming.

    2. Marquis-Cha-Cha
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Debating the same. Kolarov to Moreno or a CP defender.
      Possible rotation risk soon and they can't keep a clean sheet with Kompany.

      1. Marquis-Cha-Cha
        • 10 Years

    Whats the best midfield paring out of these options please brothers and sisters -

    a - Coutinho and Alli

    b - Lingard and Coutinho

    c - Deulofeu and Alli

    d - Tadic and Deulofeu

    Thanks

    1. t4thomas

    2. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      D been considering both for a while... one or the other will be my Aguero enabler if/when I downgrade Sanchez or KDB

    3. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      E. Cabaye and SOMEONE.

        BANG! Lukaku warm up injury and Pelle hatrick, has nightmare visions for me as well....

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years

          Different trigger, the one I'm talking about has lips 😉

    Is fantasy football a family affair for anyone else? I feel lucky my gf, brother, his fiancé and both my parents play. After 10 weeks last year my friend in another mini league was getting beat by his mum. Needless to say we've reminded him ever since.

    1. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Definitely isn't for me but can't imagine all the great Christmas banter with all those matches if it was!

    Hennessey or DDG this week?

    Bookies say Hennessey for the cleanie. JUST!

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I think I'd go along with that - just.

      Ighalo is a lot better than anything Sunderland have to offer.

  13. Murph1
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone having a captain dilemma, here's the bet365's take:

    To score at any time:

    Sanchez - 6/5
    Vardy - 6/5
    Lukaku - 20/21
    Kane - 20/21
    Pelle - 13/10

    Bookies are backing the same two we are it seems. Flip a coin.

    4. Hamdaggers
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah I don't mind it at all. No filter on issues/language/shots so its pretty confronting at times. Im about half way through season 4.

  15. Gerci
    • 10 Years

    Payet to:

    A) Willian

    B) Özil

    C) ?

    9.0 ITB

    1. Gooner97

      Özil

    2. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Ozil 🙂

  16. Murph1
    • 10 Years

    A could be a great differential

    Any utd supproters here with knowledge of Lingard? Will he hold his place? (great enabler)

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      No, will be rotated

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Highly highly unlikely

    3. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, he's showing nice form but only playing by virtue of Memphis being on poor form and having a big head and Young deputizing at RB.

    want to bring in albrighton but worried about his gametime

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Do you think he is worth the risk?

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        depends how big the risk is

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          How big do you think the risk is?

          1. Lizard Lips
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            not sure.

            1. Ayew Serious
              • 10 Years

      made 11 starts this season and subbed on once..creating plenty of chances (22) so probably will hold his place..BUT his passing is AWFUL! 64% (74% in final third)

    Payer to Alli? Max £5.7 due to getting aguero next week

    1. Lizard Lips

      albrighton i think

      1. manutd99
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Already have Mahrez and Vardy as Lei cover

    2. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Lanzini looks a good long term pick.

    Welcome to my team, Romelu.

    1. t4thomas

      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Good man.

      (C)?

      It's looking like him or Kane for me.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        It is possible, yes.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Not gonna' get Aguero any time soon?

      Kane & Lukaku definitely great picks.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Not this week, no.

    Hey all. Back from my hols and straight on here.
    Payet is dropping tonight. Head says get Deulefeu but heart says Bolasie for Monday night fixture.
    Who should I go for?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Deulo for me horsey

      Welcome back, beautiful.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Ha. Cheers gorgeous.

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Bolasie

    3. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Hey Horse. 🙂 Welcome back! I still really like Bolasie but maybe Deulofeu is worth a punt right now - he seems to be in rare form.

    4. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      "Hey all. Back from my hols and straight on here."

      Mate, you were on here during your holiday!

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Ha. God. Don't I know it. But now I can spend more than a few minutes in the morning.

    5. Le Limpar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      My head and heart have it t'other way.

      Heart says Deule - because he's a lovely player
      Head says Bolasie - because he gets on the end of moves for a counter-attacking team and his stats are better.

      Still can't decide though. Having Lukaku already and Palaces 2 home games in a row makes me lean toward head, but Delefeu would mitigate slightly against Lukaku captainers which I'm not going to do.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I'm edging towards Deulefeu.

    6. Gideons Rolling Another One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Fwiw I'm tempted, very, by Deulofeu.

      He certainly seems to split opinion.

    7. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Deulofeu imo, as long as Lukaku's continues thriving with these glorious fixtures, I think Deulofeu will benefit equally so. Having assisted 5 of Lukaku's goals, & he's also coming off the back of 5 goals in two games for Spain in U-21's. He's netted 6 assists & 1 goal in his 5 starts this season.

      A great nimble little player, who I think will benefit a lot from Everton's great fixtures & better attacking form compared to Palace.

    Pelle to lukaku for free ?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I've just done that for a hit.

  24. Shack
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Hi all, should I do Payet to Deulofeu for a hit this week, would probably bench Vardy OR play Vardy and leave Payet on the bench, lose another 0.1 and ship him next week? Cheers!!

  25. Pulis Ki Vardy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    GW14 onwards

    Vardy + KDB > Aguero + Barkley

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Efan Ekoku Pops
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'm looking at similar moves, but can't afford Barkley.
      Yay.

  26. DV8R

    Any 4.3m nailed on defenders for the short term?

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Simpson might be your best option. If you want one that can actually defend you might want to look at Kelly - but his place is at risk.

  27. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    bony to lukaku now?

      Sure.

  28. adidasOriginals
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Its not worth having both Hennessey and Dann is it? On a WC.

    I'm doubting it now...overkill isn't it?.....any words of wisdom

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I like it if you can rotate them. It'd be a bit much week-in-week-out, I think.

  29. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    How does this look folks?

    Vardy > Kane
    Payet > Lanzini

    Current Team:

    Butland McCarthy
    Azpi Kolarov Bellerin Richards Francis
    KDB Sanchez Mahrez Payet Shelvey
    Pelle Lukaku Vardy

    I'm okay with playing Shelvey (BOU) this week and I could rotate him with Lanzini for the next few weeks. My plan is to get Kun in for Pelle in a couple of weeks by downgrading KDB.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Good.

  30. t4thomas

    Doos...

    Thoughts on DDG or Hennessey this week?

    1. adidasOriginals
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I;d DDG it

      I've got Hennessey and Butland

    2. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      If you have DDG, play DDG.
      You have Hennessey for when DDG plays Man City away etc

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Hennessey.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        De Gea is a waste of good money, imo.
