It’s time to turn up the heat on Granville. After Harry Kane obliged with a 26-point armband return, I’ve clawed back the gap on my mancunian rival, who now sits just three points ahead in our “very personal” battle.

With the flame lit on our age-old duel, the ScoutCast is revived to resemble the days gone by, with Granville wriggling uncomfortably as we spar throughout. Jonty is on hand to mediate, taking a few blows of his own, with Granville lashing out blindly.

Around the melee, we take in another round of “rough with the smooth” and digest a slew of community questions. We chat Aguero Vs Kane, consider the merits of showing Sanchez and De Bruyne the door, and scribe our Christmas Fantasy Football wishlist.

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Yes - 4 in fact...
          .
          .
          But FPL awarded all the assists to Bellerin

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

      2. Eden Hazardous

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years

          Really hope you are right about it.

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

            They have to win at some stage. Next home game v arsenal so doubt they'll win that.

  3. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Kane captain a good choice? Or should I go Lukaku. I'm leading my ML only by 9 points

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      The only thing that puts me off is that he played in Azerbaijan Thurs eve and has very little recovery time. That is enough for me to look elsewhere, as there are other solid options anyway.

      Still don't think he's a bad call personally tho.

  4. Man Chest Hair United
    • 11 Years

    Anyone know how firmino looked last night?

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Was very poor

        1. Man Chest Hair United
          • 11 Years

          Did you watch the game? My grav is beautiful

          1. Eden Hazardous
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Yes - was very bad and on second thoughts , your grav is magnificent 😛

    2. Camp No No

      Was okay.

  5. Scotty B

    10 years, 3 months ago

    Butland
    Clyne Reid Richards
    Mahrez Ozil KDB Sanchez
    Lukaku Vardy Kane

    Subs McCarthy Westwood VVD Gomez

    1.1m itb & 1 FT. Any changes needed?

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Gomez out

      1. Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        What's the point in wasting a transfer on someone who is on my bench?

        1. Evasivo
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Errr to improve your bench while you have the opportunity ?!
          Never know when you'll need it...If Sanchez is rested you'll have 2pts off the bench at best

          1. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            I would agree with you if he had 2FT.. but with 1? get someone who is going to play or save

            1. Evasivo
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 3 months ago

              You don't need any changes to your first 11, hence my suggestion to improve your bench

    2. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't have deadwood first sub

      1. Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        What's the point in wasting a transfer on someone who is on my bench?

  6. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years

    1. Jax

      1. FALCAO & MOU

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years

        😯

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I can tell you the answer without even looking.

      It will be Lukaku.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        No Agbonlahor 😯

    3. Eden Hazardous

    5. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      It just shows me "POLLS" but can't vote or see who is leading.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Regressing so hard atm , West Ham are at best a top 10 side , have been very lucky till now

    2. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I don't get why anyone would consider benching a defender against West Ham atm

  10. Kane Train

    Butland
    Bellerin - Nyom - Moreno
    Mahrez - Sanchez - Barkley - Ozil

    1.6 itb on WC what should I do ?

    1. Kane Train
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      help

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Barkley >> Cout

  11. Sushant
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Payet to Ozil/Coutinho?

    Already have Sanchez, want to do Coutinho but not sure if he is gonna start.

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      He will start

    2. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Ozil imo

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Why are you including Coutinho as an option is you're not sure he's going to start?

    4. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Ozil IMO.

  12. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Every time my team looks similar to the Scout Picks, my points are very Shitty. Anyone else got that feeling?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Scout picks has been really lazy lately. Espically last gws Mane pick.

    2. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      This season has been frustrating. Big hitters not performing and favourable fixtures often contradictory. That's my theory, points have been sporadic

  13. n-doggg
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Butland
    Bellerin, Moreno, Evans
    Sanchez (c), KdB, coutinho, mahrez
    Aguero, lukaku, Vardy

    (Janmaat, Simpson, Westwood)

    Good to go?!

    1. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Nice.

  14. Alittude
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    bench 1 of nyom, Dawson, Smalling

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Smalling.

      1. Alittude
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        mike or chris

  15. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez playing or not determines both my captain choice or whether I go for Aguero or Kane.

    It's really frustrating me

    1. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez plays always. Wenger just bitchin' with you, like always.

    2. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      He will start but the doubt is more concerned with getting 90' or not.

  16. Does it Mata
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Lads! Is it time to bring on Aguero??

    Yes/No and why?

    1. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      No, because I have Lukaku, Kane and Vardy.

      1. Does it Mata
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I need a replacement for Pelle, that's why!

    2. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      No - Vardy Lukaku Ighalo on better form n fixtures

      1. Does it Mata
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I need a replacement for Pelle, that's why!

        1. Evasivo
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Choose one of the above then!

          1. Does it Mata
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Already have Lukaku! So aguero and Lukaku will make a tasty partnership up top I think

            1. Evasivo
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 3 months ago

              Then why you asking?! 😮

              1. Does it Mata
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 3 months ago

                I wanted your opinions haha! If it was something I didn't know.. But thanks for the help!

                1. Does it Mata
                  • 10 Years
                  10 years, 3 months ago

                  One last question.. Is it worth it to bring on both Kane and Aguero for Berahino and Pelle?
                  Then will my midfield downgade from mata and de bruyne to lanzini and Tadic..
                  But that strikerforce though!!

    3. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Of course. Best player in the league who can score 5 goals in a game. Next

    GW 3: (C) = 2 points. (VC) = 2 points
    GW 4: (C) = 2 points. (VC) = 3 points
    GW 5: (C) = 2 points. (VC) = 3 points
    GW 6: (C) = 5 points. (VC) = 7 points
    GW 7: (C) = 2 points. (VC) = 20 points
    GW 8: (C) = 25 points. (VC) = 10 points
    GW 9: (C) = 5 points. (VC) = 2 points
    GW 10: (C) = 2 points. (VC) = 5 points
    GW 11: (C) = 3 points. (VC) = 5 points
    GW 12: (C) = 2 points. (VC) = 1 points
    GW 13: (C) = 2 points. (VC) = 7 points

    (C) points = 56

      Oh my...and I thought my captaincy decisions has been bad.

        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        😆

        I doubt anyone could have worse (C) picks then me. At least I've been benching the right players for the most part 😎

      Who's your VC this week? 😀

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Haven't decided. It's between Aguero and Sanchez for my VC/C. One of them will score big, one of them will blank.

        1. Hubert
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Kane here. Don't have Kun, not sure about Alexis. Good luck either way!

    5. Mark-O
      • 10 Years

      Tell us your captain for this GW and we'll know what to choose!

      Wow that is bad.

      Mine is

      C: 73
      VC: 99

      So also have a better VC by some margin but... Wow you've been unlucky.

        Ouch that's really unlucky Puyol

        I'm on
        C: 166

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years

          Do you mean C: 83?

            • 11 Years

            Yep. total cap points

    7. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      very similar.

  18. goodday there mate
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Play ROJO or SIMPSON ?

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Marcus

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      ROJO

  19. alangreat
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Bench 2:
    1. Kolarov (SOU)
    2. Monreal (nor)
    3. Dier (CHE)
    4. Rojo (lei)
    5. VVD (mci)

    currently benching 4 and 5 (in that order), but thinking to bench Dier...

    1. Does it Mata
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Dier I would say

      1. Does it Mata
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        And VVD

        1. alangreat
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          so u think Rojo has higher chance to score more than Dier (and VVD)?
          Dier and VVD seems less of CS potential but slightly more likely to score, right?

    2. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      4 and 5

  20. goodday there mate

      Unknown

  23. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    To start

    Lingard or Ayew
    Janmaat, Evans or Rojo

    currently on Lingard and Janmaat

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Ayew
      Evans

      Lingard
      Evans

  24. Jazz!
    • 11 Years

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Flip a coin WBA better away from home and Rose has much better attacking returns also chance of a CS

      Rose

  25. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Cedric > Coleman or A Spurs defender?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I would keep for Villa game

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        This then go Spurs

  26. goodday there mate

    captain dilemma - Aguero vs Sanchez ?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez. No gametime or injury issues. Much easier opponent.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Uhm...

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        er, why is he yellow flagged then?

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years

      Sanchez

      1. goodday there mate
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        cheers lads - hope the lion hunts again ..

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Hamstring problem for Alexis. City need a win on the weekend and probably will get one. Aguero played 60 minutes only midweek which is a good sign 🙂

      1. goodday there mate
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        ah pants ... i thought id have clear cut decision but i do fancy aguero to score this weekend!

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          If it helps I'm leaning towards him. (Although if you scroll up and see my post it probably isn't a good thing)

    4. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez

  27. Costa's Counsellor
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Was Firmino rubbish because of no Coutinho?

  28. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    I am doing KDB --> Ozil by -4, what a shame 😳

    1. goodday there mate
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      not a shame - i will ship KDB soon. can't see him improve and we all waiting for silva really

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        can you ship him this week?

        1. goodday there mate
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

    2. Santi sensei
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Same here but it's the only way to get Aguero

  29. Christina.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Benteke

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      hope he'll start this week and steal COutinho points

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I might just get him instead of Kun/Firm/Cout

  30. TheEgyptianKing
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    would playing 2 stoke defenders be stupid? I have ddg and butl;and as my goalies, and then wolly at the back

    1. goodday there mate
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      not silly imo - do it

    2. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      3 clean sheets in a row and they're playing Sunderland. I'd say that was a good time to double up.
