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.

    What adjustments are you making to ticker?

    I'm turning LEI down a notch or two. And Southampton. Increasing United. And Everton a touch.

      Leicester going to be spanked this weekend

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

        Hope so Trigg, standing firm with firmino

        1. Twelve years a slave
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Everyone will be after Firmino in a week or Two

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

            Yup, he's too good.

      2. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Just realised have nobody in that late kick off match, hate that

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

        Agree

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

        Only one goal and one big chance conceded over the past two matches.

  2. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Does anyone know much about this new Sunderland keeper? Will he be ahead of Pickford or on the bench?

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He pretty decent, Even the Sunderland suporters expect Pickford to make way, and they love picky

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Bad news for FPL then - are you expecting no 4.0 keeper to be nailed from now on?

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

      He'll probably be 4.0 as well, so no worries

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I was assuming he'd be 4.5, hopefully you're right.

      2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO

        here's hoping

    *A Marsalsian smooth baritone sax announce a draft league for the 2nd international break*

    * 6 places (from 60) left *

    *NOT an FPL thing*

    The draft is a "slow draft" on Fantrax. There are 9 hours on the draft clock per pick. The idea is not for people to use the whole clock but to allow for global participation and allow people to sleep and work without stressing about being in the draft room every waking minute. It takes about 10 days during the 2nd international break, starts October 2.

    11 players are drafted by each team. You start 7 players with a bench of 4 each week.
    1 GK
    2 to 4 defenders
    1 to 3 mids
    0 to 2 strikers

    You have to stay on top of "free agent" players and make claims and drops (of current players) to keep your squad fresh, deal with injuries, etc.

    You also can trade players with other managers in the league.

    It is a 20 team division. Top 3 or more teams are promoted to division 2 (as we have some drop outs from the upper divisions, more managers from division 3 get promoted).

    Some people like the draft format and some hate it.

    A primary rule of the league is that your team name needs to be injury related to go with the league name theme (Knocks & Niggles) and then put your FFS name in parentheses so folks know who you are. So examples are:
    Balotelli's Grass Allergy (Milanista)
    Injured For Eva (Balders)
    No Return Date (HeelsOverHead)
    Strained Groins (Pundit of Punts)
    Torn ACL (TM245)

    If you're interested, there are openings in our 3rd division. Each division is 20 teams and there are promotions/relegations.

    • 9 Years

    Looks like Valencia, Defoe, Foster and Hazard will rise.

    Routledge, Tadic, Deulofeu may drop.

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

      would be nice seeing as I'm keeping 3 of those potential risers and will eventually want Tadic back in having seen their chances created and total shots stats (though in the box aren't great)

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

        might eventually want Tadic back in*

  5. Heels_Over_Head

    Have a good day gents. Off to work.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm currently at work, how does that work?

      1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        me too, when has that ever stopped the FFS site from running in the background 😉

    2. Le _ Professeur
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Well I'm off to bed 😀

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

    How nailed is Collins? Wasn't Ogbonna first choice alongside Reid last season?

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      wouldn't say nailed with Arbeloa there now too.

  7. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is benching Lamela this week the right option?

    Hazard (C), Nolito, Ozil, Firmino (Lamela)
    Lukaku, Zaza, Gray

    1. Le _ Professeur
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Imo .. I don't think we'll see much goals if any in the Manchester Derby .. I'd bench Nolito .. But he could be a very good differential 😀 .. Your call .. That wasn't helpful, right 😀 ?

      1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        haha not really, but thanks.
        looking at those two I'd say the derby has more potential to explode rather than Spurs away at Stoke.

  8. Lav

    Benteke or Bony?

    1. sinik

      Now

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Defoe rose, Valencia didn't.

  10. The Donald
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Lanzini + Benteke over Lamela + Zaza right?

    1. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  11. nedfoo
    • 15 Years

    Ditch Lamela or Redmond for Hazard?

    1. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Redmond

  12. gruffyboy
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    a. Snod & Sanchez or

    Price Changes - 9th September 2016

    Risers : Defoe

    Fallers : Gradel, Afobe, Zaha, Mahrez, Gündogan, Rojo, Haugaard, Sigurdsson, Ighalo, Akpom, Sané

    1. Le _ Professeur
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Only Defoe ! .. a bit surprising

    2. Surgical Attack
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Valencia is being switched from Shaw by those on WC I guess.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Trading someone on WC doesn't count to price changes.

        1. Surgical Attack
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Hence he didn't rise.

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

      Once Gradel starts starting he'll be a great option

    4. A.T
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Gordon Bennett 🙁

    5. Brayden29
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Would be nice if Foster went up

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

      Lovely - Siggy, Ighalo and Mahrez will all be easier to get in.

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

      Foster you goddamn tease.

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        That geezer is doin my flamin nut in and no mistake 👿

    8. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Mahrez, Siggy, Igahlo - ain't personal, I'm sure we'll get you back in the squads at some point this year, except for you Igahlo. You're approaching DTM territory.

    9. bennyp
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Booom Tadic survived!

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

    Mahrez dropped

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

    Blind, Collins or Baines?
    -also-
    Foster or De Gea?

    1. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Baines & De Gea

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

        thanks

  16. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I desperately need help with my team. I want to bring Aguero back in 2 weeks...

    Foster Pickford
    Shaw Reid Williams Friend Wilson
    Hazard Ozil Sterling Lamela Capoue
    Lukaku Ibra (Diomande??)

    The plan is Lukaku to Aguero and Sterling to someone depending on my third striker. Could anyone help here?

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

      I think you'll should wait to see this week before you make any decision...

    2. Alonso's Ball
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Don't plan in detail yet

  17. TeachYouAlisson
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Heaton jaku

    Valencia Collins jagielka Morgan friend

    Sterling Carzola hazard Lamela deulofeu

    Lukaka ibra negrado

    Any suggestions this is my new squad using my wild card
    Thanks

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

      In my opinion, maybe switch Ibra with Costa, because Costa is more likely to do a better performance and then you could maybe, with the money you would save, get Coutinho to replace Deuloufeu, which as drop this week...

    2. Alonso's Ball
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Negredo is not as good as his points suggest. Downgrade Del to Cap/Fletch/Barry, and spread the wealth

  18. Z
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    GTG?

    Foster- Heaton
    Valencia - Baines - Pieters - McAuley - Amat
    Hazard - Ozil - Payet - Snodgrass - Capoue
    Ibra - Benteke - Lukaku
    ­­

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

      Maybe switch Ibra and Payet for Costa and Coutinho...

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

        And Collins replacing Pieters, maybe

        1. Z
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          You're entitled to your opinion, but no chance...

    What was the outcome with Gray's hearing?

    Was he banned or is still ongoing?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ongoing.

    2. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      still yet to announce a hearing date. Don't you just love the drama? One carefully posted selfie on Instagram of him hanging out with Lance Bass and Neil Patrick Harris after he scores a brace in the Hull game and I think this whole thing just goes away.

  20. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Heaton or Foster this GW if you had to pick?

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

      Foster

    2. michudagawd
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Heaton

    3. Shakshuka
      • 13 Years

      Heaton

    4. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers. Just can't decide. An explanation from ANYONE might sway me

      1. Z
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Burnley are at home

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

          He has a point thought... I had Foster but now i'm replacing it with Heaton...

    5. Z
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Bench Boost

    6. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Here's hoping Hulls new transfers don't gel well

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

      I sold Heaton for a 4.0 keeper expressly so I dont have this dilemma anymore and I got an extra 0.5 to spend. So Foster for me.

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

      i chose foster because ive also got evans and only wanted to choose one wba away from home.
      evans and heaton vs collins and foster

  21. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is getting cazorla on WC over ozil or Sanchez too risky?

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm debating the same thing. Its tough to decide because Cazorla frees up the cash for Sterling to Nolito.

      I think it's anyone's guess who scored better out of Ozil and Caz.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. Is Caz nailed on tho?

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Get both and downgrade one in two weeks

    3. Alonso's Ball
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Get Caz + 1 of the big guys

  22. Shakshuka
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Good to go for the weekend? 1.9 banked

    Heaton
    Shaw Friend Evans
    Hazard (C) Ozil (V) Redmond Firminho
    Ibra Lukaku Gray

    Foster Capoue Stones Amat

    Thanks!

    1. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lots of love for Valencia here for his potential BPS

    2. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years

      Other than that, lovely

      1. Shakshuka

        Cheers

  23. Waylander
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Ozil and Sterling
    OR
    Cazorla and Nolito

    Thoughts on this pickle, lads?

    1. Shakshuka
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      A, easy

    2. gruffyboy

    How have Valencia/Foster not risen yet!?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      WC transfers.

  26. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    This is me GW4..WC played 0.1itb

    Heaton
    Williams Valencia Evans
    Hazard(C) Sanchez(VC) Cazorla Antonio
    Ibrahimovic Lukaku Benteke

    Robinson Copoue Kone Amat

    Your thoughts welcome.

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I kinda like it 🙁

    2. Alonso's Ball
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I had the same WC team for a few days and recently changed Evans, Williams and Kaku to Collins, Baines, Defoe. This new ensemble allows for 1.5ITB which gives me a 1 transfer Ibra -> Kun if needed....

      Not sure which team I prefer still tbh

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        This kinda depends on if Baines or Lukaku is on pens for me. I fancy Kak to take the next one tbh

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      i like it man, it is a great team, it's very similar to mine:

      Heaton
      Masuaku - Valencia - Baines
      Mirallas - Hazard - Sanchez - Antonio
      Ibra - Benteke - Lukaku

  27. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I just noticed that Ramirez was playing in south america midweek.

    With that in mind, which one of these players is worth selling?

    Ramirez (CRY, eve, TOT, whm, WAT)
    Tadic (ars, *Sparta*, SWA, whm, lei)

    Ramirez would become Ozil, Tadic would become Sanchez. I could sell both for a hit.

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I also have exactly enough to do:

      Aguero + Tadic + Ramirez ----> Lukaku + Ozil + Sterling (-4)

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        - 4 looks good imo

    There goes my plan to squeeze 0.1 out of foster to heaton.

    Any chance foster rises and heaton does not at next update?

    The way price changes are happening, heaton will probably rise while foster does not.
