Recorded minutes after the whistle blew on a miserable midweek under lights, we had no choice but to fantasise about Chips and Double Gameweeks to get us through this latest ScoutCast episode.

I’m joined by Jonty, Andy and Luke as we lament our sub 40-point tallies, moving on swiftly to lose ourselves in the thrilling, Wonka-like nonsense that lies ahead thanks to the bizarre Bench Boost FPL chip.

We come back down to earth to answer another bout of community questions, assessing the merits of City’s assets through their fluctuating form, the Payet problem and even end by revealing our modest rank expectations for the rest of the season.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first aired live via our YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe in order to get a heads up on new episodes.

    Morning DZ, any ideas on what to do here?

    Schmeichel
    Monreal, Van Dijk, Jagielka
    Sanchez, Ozil, Payet, Mahrez
    Kun, Vardy, Ighalo

    Butland, Alli, Alderweireld, Cedric

    2FT, 0.2m

    1. BigManBakar

      Payet and Sanchez out for Sigurdsson and Silva/Yaya/Sterling.

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        advocating for Payet out because of his fixture after the blank (and the blank itslef)?

        1. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Yep. 🙂

      2. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        interesting cheers, think payet to siggy looks really good. not quite convinced on a man c mid.

        1. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Think one of them will come good against Villa and Norwich. Almost impossible to tell which one though. I had budget constraints so went with Ayew 🙂

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah possibly, quite a lottery as to which one though,

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

      Sanchez > Siggy
      Jagielka > Kompany

    3. Gizzachance

      payet first because eve away, then blank, then chel away, then sanchez if they beat hull

  4. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    are people keeping hold of arsenal players till after the hull game? i currently have two, so may just hold till after replay, then plan for gw30, any thoughts ?cheers

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      keeping Ozil all season, tempted to sell Bellerin because their defense is currently terrible and he's a poor crosser lately

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        thinking sellin monreal, got tot ,possible blank, eve away, and czech out injured, cheers

    2. Flintstone
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I have Kos and Sanchez and they will probably be gone Saturday morning

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        i have monreal and sanches, lot doing sanchez to silva, sanchez has still looked more likely to score, think its the villa game tempting the silva move, cheers

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Doubt many will sell Ozil regardless.

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        i did for sanchez couple weeks ago ! so i wouldnt sell ozil either if i still had him, cheers

  5. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    How many people are selling Payet?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You want a number?

        • 12 Years

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I will be selling -4 gwk30 for Yaya, but if Yaya is declared fit for Villa, then I will be very tempted to take the hit this gwk

    3. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Twelvety?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        damn that's a lot

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            lol

    4. Fishy
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Want to do it for a hit to siggy but being advised not to on here.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        It is your team. Do what you think will score best we all make duff transfers often

        1. Fishy
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          If arsnel have blank in gw30 then it would be good having siggy, but if ozil is playing in gw 30 then i dnt need to do payet to siggy this gw.

  6. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you get rid for Silva? Sanchez or Payet?

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Don't get Silva

  7. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Alright, I'm fairly sure I'm taking a hit. Pending the City presser tomorrow it'll either be

    A) Barkley + Payet > Siggy + Yaya
    B) Barkley + Ward > Siggy + Williams

    B is definitely far more sensible given the defensive move and Payet being class (and Palace being terrible and blanking in 30), but A is also pretty sexy..

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Why Yaya over Silva or Sterling?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        mostly money lol, partially for fun

        1. ducksfly2gether
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I was thinking the same transfers...already did Barkley --> siggy, and I have enough ITB to do payet to silva with my other FT, but then I remembered that payet is better than silva and his fixture at Everton is really just as good...especially when you consider silva may be subbed off early or get injured in his run of multiple games in a short period of time. I'm holding the transfer and rolling it until after we see if Arsenal are playing next week/any other injuries. 2 FT will be important going into gw30...don't take the hit for yaya who didn't even play last game.

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            really though I'm far more heavily considering option B simply because Ward plays for a poor defense AND blanks GW30 anyways

            1. ducksfly2gether
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Only take the hit if you don't have anyone else to play over ward.

              1. sinik
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 2 months ago

                defense is Simpson (wat), Bellerin (tot), VvD (SUN), Ward (LIV), and Toby (ARS)

    Me and Mrs Cheese start the very first stages running up to IVF next week. It all starts with me having to make a deposit in a special bank.

    When did life become so strange?

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Dont miss the cup!

      Seriously though I really hope it works for you two 🙂

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. If you do miss the cup you have to wait 3 days before you can make another deposit.

        I have to go to Aberdeen to do this so it is a pain as it is about an hour away. Plus there is only one day a week you can do it after 9am. Ridiculous and made very tricky with my shift pattern.

        I might just mail them a sample. At least the letter would be self adhesive

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          😀 you nasty man

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years

      When you started referring to your wife as Mrs cheese

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Chortle. A fair point

        • 12 Years

        • 13 Years

        Thanks. I feel like this path will be a long one and we will only have one shot

        1. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          why only one shot?

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Because we sucessfully had one child (we had complications with our second go) . We have to pay and it is not cheap. We are having one go at it

            1. sinik
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              ah I see, well best of luck bud I hope it all works out 🙂

    I'm looking to bring in Kompany but can't decide which of these two to drop:

    Bellerin
    Dawson

    Suggestions?

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Probably Dawson

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      dawson

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

      Dawson imo

  10. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Any use for my FT or save?

    Azpi - Fuchs - Williams
    Ozil - Silva - Mahrez - Siggy
    Kun - Kane - Vardy

    Hennessey; Alli - Bellerin - Moreno

    1. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely hold, looks great

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years

        Cheers

    2. Gizzachance

  11. fancy111
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    From 1-10 with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. How would you rate the following players over the next two GWs?

    Yaya
    Silva
    Siggy
    Andre Ayew
    Sterling
    Arnie

    @ Balders. You started the article yet? It is another tight turnaround

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      yeah I'm just doing some legwork for the goldenboot calculations

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Team of the tournament? i thought that would be quite good. It would basically be the same info as the GB but you might have to work it out as average points per match played

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Sounds good, I'm gonna look into whos taken the most hits (Argentina I'm guessing) and also best captain for the tournament too

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Most benched (Gilli Gold-Iceland for sure)

              • 12 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              haha yes!

            1. Cheeseoid
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Most disappointing - scored the lowest average points per games they are selected for?

                • 12 Years
                10 years, 2 months ago

                haha thats brutal

                1. Cheeseoid
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 2 months ago

                  And yet funny

                  1. Cheeseoid
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 13 Years
                    10 years, 2 months ago

                    I would like a luckiest and unluckiest team but I have no idea what the criteria should be

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

                      Hmmm....no. of times won below the week's total average?

                      1. Cheeseoid
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 13 Years
                        10 years, 2 months ago

                        That makes sense. Or winning close ties and qualifying narrowly.

                        Or being drawn in an easy group so you qualify with a low amount of points

                        • 12 Years
                        10 years, 2 months ago

                        Ooh I like this.

                        • 11 Years
                        10 years, 2 months ago

                        That works 😀

                        Wins under 5 points then....Zambia would be the luckiest team then 😛

                      • 12 Years
                      10 years, 2 months ago

                      teams with the most Barkley penalties and Ashley Williams goals

                      • 12 Years
                      10 years, 2 months ago

                      unluckiest: losing to top scorers?

                        Yeah. If it happens repeatedly it is very unlucky

                        what other 'lucky' events have we had in the last 12 weeks?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Team that goes the furthest with only 5 players as well. That probably deserves a mention

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

        that may actually be an advantage...

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Certainly takes less work

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      OK we have done lucky. Is there anything we can do to give good managers credit for the work they have put in manager of the tournament?

              Can you use the phrase handicap any more? Isn't it like the olympics the "special" award

                • 12 Years

    My other two def are Kompany and Targett so I gotta play them 🙂

    1. fancy111
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Daniels, just over Fuchs

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      it would be an interesting punt but he's super inconsistent despite being involved. doesn't he get hooked early too?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  16. BananaNose Maldonado
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I'm still debating between Kompany and Otamendi. I've seen Balders' stats comparing the two (very helpful, by the way) and would prefer Otamendi due to more BAPs, greater goal threat, and lower ownership (so, more differential), but I'm slightly worried that Otamendi could be given a rest.

    Anyone out there have a thought/hunch one way or the other on these two?

    Cheers.

    1. Rusty Nail
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Im getting kompany if otamendi doesnt play it wont be a rest he was shocking at anfield

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        True. But I don't think he'll lose the job for good - that's why I called it a rest. I still rate him higher than Mangala.

        But I think he might not play in a game or two moving forward, while Kompany is completely nailed. I guess that sways me.

        Thanks!

      I'm getting Kompany for nailedonness

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. I think I'll do the same. Doesn't do much good to transfer in a player and then hope (and not feel all that confident) he'll play.

  17. FionnMac
    • 16 Years

    2FT and £1.6m. Looking a bit weak so need a good transfer or two! Have my WC saved for the DGW. Any pointers lads?

    Butland
    Williams Simpson Toby
    Ozil Payet Mahrez Alli

      Payet OUT, Siggy IN?

    2. Nobodinho
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Monreal ➡ Kompany?

      1. oghash
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        How do you do the arrow and how do you make it change colour from blue to yellow in the recent comments section?

        1. Nobodinho
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          : arrow :

          I guess the yellow arrow is the old version.

    3. Flintstone
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      If your benching Monreal this week and probable blank next GW, maybe

      Monreal and Fletcher to Cedric and Ayew?

      Monreal and Payet to VVD/Bertie and Siggy?

  18. Kurtinho

    I get some weird satisfaction in making a move that I have the exact cash for. Does anyone else get this?

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      no I get anxiety because I know I'll need 2 FT for a move the very next GW

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear

      I know what you mean.

  19. Nobodinho

    Morning gents. Who would you get rid for Kompany? Bellerin or Cresswell?

    1. Flintstone
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Hmmm. Bellerin probably

    2. SPFC
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I sold Cresswell for having Bellerin to GW32

    Morning DZ,

    Whatcha reckon?

    A) Moreno & JEvans -> Kompany & Otamendi
    B) Moreno & Payet -> Kompany & Silva
    C) Moreno -> Kompany (and save other FT)

    Elliott
    Bellerin, Moreno, Simpson
    Sanchez, Mahrez, Payet, Alli
    Aguero, Kane, Vardy

    Hennessey, Arnie, JEvans, Wolly
    Bank 3.3m, 2FT

    1. Nobodinho

      C imo

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      C with presser news. A and B can easily be trouble.

  21. PaddyPyne
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is anybody tempted to triple captain Aguero against Villa? I know he has a DGW coming up!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Nah, hatty then off for a shower. We got lucky vs Newcastle.

  22. marquinhos
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Which move to make?

    A) Koscielny > Kompany OR Otamendi
    B) Arnautovic > Silva

    1. Jape
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Do A.

      Otamendi if you want a differential

      1. marquinhos
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        CS potential worries me 🙁

        1. Jape
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Similar to Toby. He has a fair amount of goal threat

    2. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A) Otamendi

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

      A

      1. marquinhos
        • 10 Years

        cheers

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

      Otamendi was rushing forward alot last game, not that it helped them any.. but it could work out for them vs worse teams.

      1. marquinhos
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        hmm CS potential is a worry for me

  23. dmhomag
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Bring in Siggy or Silva?

    1. Nobodinho
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy for me

    2. marquinhos
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy

  24. KUN+10
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Willian to Siggy
    Azpi to Kompany

    Done. -4 pts. Final team for gw29

    Forster
    VVD Daniels Kompany
    Sanchez Mahrez Siggy Ozil
    Kun(c) Luk Vardy

    Rudd Alli Toby Fuchs.

    How does she look?

    1. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not Willian!

      Decent form, decent fixtures apart from the blank..

      Might have done Sanchez to have less Arsenal, but hopefully works out!

      Looks good though, I like the Sigg pick.

    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I wish I could do Moreno -> Siggy.

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I might

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

      aha, ive had that thought many times this season.. just never had Moreno though!

      Mine is Ward..

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        this is definitely one of those seasons where a 6th mid would be more useful than a 5th defender

        1. Kered
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Definitely, but may have caused a much larger headache for most of us!
          That being said, Ive lost alot of points by making a midfield transfer trying to chase good fixtures.

          Just did Sanchez > Siggy for example.. hoping it doesn't hurt!

          Go Spurs.. aha

  25. DavidSilva
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Kompany and Siggy/Silva for Moreno and Sanchez
    Or
    Aguero and Ritchie/Shelvey for Ighalo and Sanchez

    Taking -4 hit

    1. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Door #2

  26. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    What to do here?

    Butland l Hennessey
    Azpi l Bertrand l Fuchs l Dawson l Jags
    Sanchez l Marhez l Payet l Arnie l Gosling
    Kane l Kun l Vardy

    1FT / 1.9ITB

    A) Sanchez / Gosling --> Silva / Siggy (-4) and bench Arnie

    B) Save

    C) Payet --> Siggy

    D) Sanchez --> Silva / Siggy

    1. FionnMac
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Payet > Siggy (something I'm thinking of doing) Think people fauning over Silva is a bit unjustified, purely cos of fixtures

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Bringing in Arnie just for fixtures worked quite well..

    2. Nobodinho
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      C

    3. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A or D

      Payet will make you pay for getting rid IMO

      1. FionnMac
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Easy-ish to get back no? He has a blank and Chelsea/Everton away in next 3 (West Ham traditionally get beat at Goodison) and then a couple home games. Personally I'm getting rid this week and using my WC to get him back in a few weeks

  27. FionnMac
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is Siggy the best Swansea attacking cover?

    1. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Close between Ayew, but unfortunately his returns haven't been enough to justify picking him.

    2. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. On all set pieces including pens and gets a decent number of shots and chances created from open play too

  28. FionnMac
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Are there any more possible blanks for GW30? I heard Arsenal might be

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes arsenal probably will be.. Blank if they beat Hull

      1. FionnMac
        • 16 Years

    Question to anyone following spurs fullback rotation... What are the chances of Davies starting in GW30? I ask for draft league purposes

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I have been following it closely. It should be Rose bar injuries

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Noooo. I can't field a full team in gw30 then!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

              Here's not. I checked it out when Spurs qualified in the Europa. I have been predicting his starts for ages now. Not got it wrong yet
