He’s gone. Aguero has been shown the door, at least by myself, Jonty and Andy.

But Granville had to be different.

The revitalised ScoutCast shock-jockey simply had to go against the grain and choose to bench the Argentine.

He’s also refusing to play his Wildcard, challenging us to persuade him over the course of this episode.

Do we succeed in tipping him over the edge? You’ll have to listen in and find out.

In doing so, you’ll hear the four of us address a barrage of Wildcard fuelled questions from you, the Community, as we tackle subjects such as the Arsenal midfield conundrum, Payet vs Antonio and survey the options when it comes to cheap enablers.

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

    Best 4.5 defensive options at Bournemouth, Watford, Sunderland?

    Anybody thought about Foster & Boruc, over Heaton?

    1. Niemi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Smith and Francis at Bournemouth.
      Holebas could be a steal at Watford if he can keep his place.
      Kone from Sunderland.

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Francis and Smith.
      Kaboul or Holebas if he can stay in the team
      Kone for Sunderland

      West Brom have a tough run coming up and Bournemouth don't keep clean sheets.

  2. Fanta sea
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Why are people advising to kick Stones out of their teams?

    5.0m for a top 4 team defender seems like a no brainer to me. Am I missing something?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Pep doesn't care about clean sheets if City scores as many as they do, whats the difference between 4-0 and 4-1

      1. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Nonsense. Pep's teams have always racked up lots of clean sheets. They will come

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Their defensive stats aren't great imo

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No Vinny no cleanies, is he even nailed when he's back?

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Would you play Stones ahead of Kompany when he gets back or Otamendi?

    4. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      no attacking point no defensive points.

  3. Niemi
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Do we think Pieters will drop before the gameweek starts? Starting to look like he will stay 4.5, which screws up my plans.

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Your plans shouldn't depend on Pieters, really... sigh

      1. Niemi
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Good point. WC madness.

  4. screaming.bunny
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Ozil or Sanchez?

    1. Don Van Vliet
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Flip a coin.

    2. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I went Ozil

    3. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Both ... But prefer Sanchez explosiveness

  5. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    PSA: Antonio is 100% nailed on before anyone asks

  6. kumast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Ozil or Sanchez anyone?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Depends mate.

      1. kumast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        On what?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Well there's a 1.5 gap? There is a cap on funds, you know that?
          Not being patronising but it depends on your team? If there were no limits? Sanchez.

          1. gwitbrock
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Every question like this always 'depends'. What it depends on is each individual's subtext and is not what's being asked. e.g. Q. Shall I go to Torquay or Portsmouth on holiday? A. Torquay, as that's what I, who is answering the question, would do based on my perception of the determining factors. What you should do is up to you and your own personal view of everything, however all I can do is offer my opinion to aid with you making yours.

            Conclusion: no need to be sarky just answer his question or don't.

        2. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          If you asked pound 4 pound then I think Oz is best. But it's about streaks & trading = value so it's hard to assess how they both really value as a portion of your overall season score.

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Both πŸ˜€

    3. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      The rest of your team.....who are you sacrificing to bring Sanchez in

    4. JUNITED
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It depends on your other players and your plan to get Aguero back. I'm going for Sanchez because I might going to sell him in GW6 for fund to get Aguero back so might just go for the exploit midfield like Sanchez. But I might also keep him because his fixture is better than Hazard or Ibra.

  7. unlethal
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    RMWCT

    Foster (Heaton)
    Valencia Baines Evans (Gibson Amat)
    Snodgrass Antonio Hazard Sanchez (Capoue)
    Costa Ibrahimovic Bony

    0.3 ITB

    Also, should I play Heaton or Foster this GW? I've made the wrong decision twice already...
    Aguero plan: Costa Sanchez Bony > Aguero Ozil Stuani/5.5

    1. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Heaton - I'm in the same boat and I fancy Bournemouth over hull. Also Heaton is at home.

  8. tommy23zille
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Who to put as captain this week?

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Alexis Sanchez babbyyyy

    2. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Dunno, can't even direct you to the captain poll cause it's so damn close.

    3. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Eden Hazard

    4. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sanchez if you have him
      Hazard if you have him
      And so on (down the captain poll list)

    5. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Gray

    6. marquinhos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      safe: sanchez
      less safe: hazard
      absolute punt: ibra

    7. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard

  9. Swanny18
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    A) Josh King
    B) Januzaj
    C) Snodgrass
    D) Ramirez

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Probably go C but A is good too

    2. COYS Down Under
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I like B.

      1. Greenbackbøøg…

        πŸ™‚

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      I like B, scored in cup match recently too

    4. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Snod.

      I would've said King but the signing of Wilshere casts some doubt over his minutes

    5. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not D, fixtures favor B

    6. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Puncheon

  10. screaming.bunny

    MDF: Ozil/ Sterling/ Hazard/ Willian
    ATK: Lukaku/ Costa
    SUBS: De Gea/ Capoue/ Masuaku/ Diomande

    Any thoughts how can I improve my squad?

  11. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Who's the best in real life?
    Silva, Cazorla or Mata. Really tough to call

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Silva

    2. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      The spanish maestros... you're right it is tough.
      I love watching Silva a tad more than those two though

      1. Slam
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        BTW, I can give you Eriksen for Firmino in draft if you'de like πŸ™‚

        1. Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          No thanks. My attack is poor enough already πŸ˜‰

          1. Slam
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Haha, fair enough πŸ™‚

      2. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        To list their specialities over their comrades.
        Cazorla - 2 footed.
        Mata - more goals
        Silva - silkier

    3. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Silva

    4. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ooh love 'em all. I honestly think you can make a case for all of them. Gun to head? Silva

    5. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Who would you not want to play against......Silva IMO

    6. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Silva easily.

    7. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Unanimous!

    8. I Member

      This is 'who I have' kind of Q.

      Not biting but I'll go 1-2, and not in a good way for me.

    5. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. Sharpe Shuffle

      Did you take out the goals/assists from Antonio at RB as well as the minutes?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yep

    2. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Let's bring those all to 3000 minues to get an even playing field

      Lanzini - 9.73g / 3.26a / 74.98s(27.71ib) / 66.83kp in 3000 minutes
      Antonio - 15.58g / 6.72a / 89.6s(56ib) / 40.32kp in 3000 minutes
      Payet - 10.62g / 14.16a / 81.42s(27.14ib) / 138.06kp in 3000 minutes

      1. Slam
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Goal threat - Antonio
        Creativity - Payet

        Price difference - 2.4

    3. COYS Down Under
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Antonio returned at least one goal or assist on average in 45% of games.

      Payet returned at least one goal or assist on average in 52% of games. But his G+A to game ratio is 68% because he scored/assisted multiple times often.

      Lanzini returned at least one goal or assist on average in 26% of games.

      Nobile returned at least one goal or assist on average in 23% of games.

      1. COYS Down Under
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Also Payet and Antonio returned 56% of the time against top 5 teams. Only Ozil, Walcott and Sanchez were better against top teams.

        Ozil returned 86% of the time against top 5 teams last year!

    Will Valencia be starting on Saturday?

    1. Netley Lucas

    2. sinik

      I believe so.

    Thoughts??

    De Gea (Jakupovic)
    Morgan, Baines, Valencia (Nsue, Pieters)
    Sterling, Sanchez, Hazard, Snodgrass (Fletcher)
    Defoe, Ibra, Negredo

    1. screaming.bunny
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      De Gea will face a really hard game, so i'm not sure if he's gonna earn much points

    Any news on the extent of Rose's injury or just that he won't play this weekend? Considering Davies for a few weeks. Have money ITB so would downgrade him to a 4.5 to get Kun back.

    Hey guys, haven't been here in a while, could I get some feedback on this WC team please?
    Adrian
    Baines, PVA, ASmith
    Mane, Sanchez, Hazard, Payet
    Lukaku, Zaza, Negredo
    Jaku; Barry; Janmaat, Amat.
    Negredo>Iheanacho next week then probably Deeney but it's also a good price bracket if Iheanacho somehow keeps his place or someone like Rashford/Origi become an option.

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Strikers aren't good enough imo.

      1. DRAFTSNAKE
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I know but I love that midfield. I had Ibra but then looked at the fixtures and there's only 3 or 4 in the next 12 where I'd captain him so he's gone and I've spread the money around. Also, I'm reading his book and he brags about stealing a bike pretty much every other page so that also helped sealed his fate! πŸ™‚

  21. Cecil The Lion

    have a few Qs to help me finish my WC>

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Valencia McCauley Stones/Holgate (Collins Kingsley/Amat/4.0)
    Hazard Sanchez Sterling Cazorla Antonio
    Rooney Lukaku (Diomande)
    0.9m in the bank

    1. Is Jaku still getting a game? or is it worth just going Heaton AND Foster?

    2. Holgate vs Stones? Is Holgate nailed and is stones worth the extra 0.4m?

    3. Talks about Kingsleys spot no longer nailed, so should I swap him for Amat or another 4.0?

    4. I've had Rooney from the start, is it stupid to keep him as a differential and not get Ibra (Keep in mind i have alot of faith in Shrek right now)?

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      1. Marshall will play I think, not Jaku.
      2. There are better 4.5s out there than Holgate, e.g. Kone, Kaboul, Holebas. Also he might not be nailed
      3. Amat
      4. Zlatan

      Seen this Q before, the format, so tricky when drinking. There has to be an easier way? Not being critical mate but it's a hard read/grasp.

    Who would you shift out first? Going to get rid of 1 or 2 this week....

    A - Mahrez
    B - Redmond
    C - Townsend

    Mahrez and Redmond based on poor fixtures and Townsend not delivering but ca't be sure.

    Thinking of replacing with 1 or 2 from Cazorla, Antonio, Miralles or Barkley

    Thoughts please..

        Townsend to Antonio or Mahrez to Sanchez/Ozil. Or even both

          Palace have got decent fixtures coming up though

        NFL is back πŸ™‚ I'm on the Panthers -7.5 for one bet and Stewart to score 2 or more TD's on another bet. Also got Panthers to win to start an Acca and Stewart first TD scorer in smaller bets.

          NFL is just a p**sy version of rugby isn't it? πŸ˜€

              You're right about not being as tough but a very different sport once you scratch the surface. Great sport to bet on, although I say that now, will probably be depressed later πŸ˜€

            Completely irrelevant but how long are West Ham expecting Cresswell out? Late Oct like FPL say? Also will Zaza start on Sat?

                Not sure on Cresswell tbh, Zaza will start

              who are people going for this weekend if you have these GKs:

              A. Heaton (HUL)
              B. Foster (bou)

                I have Heaton but not Foster. If I had both, I would still go Heaton

                  not tempted by a double up??

                  i have mcauley at the back so foster would mean a double up, im currently on heaton
