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.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first beamed live via YouTube on Tuesday evening.

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
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Hope so Trigg, standing firm with firmino

        1. Twelve years a slave
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 day ago

          Everyone will be after Firmino in a week or Two

          1. COYS Down Under
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 day ago

            Yup, he's too good.

      2. Twelve years a slave

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

      3. screaming.bunny
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Agree

      4. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

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

  2. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day 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
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

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

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 day 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
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

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

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 day 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.

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

    Routledge, Tadic, Deulofeu may drop.

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

        might eventually want Tadic back in*

  5. Heels_Over_Head

    Have a good day gents. Off to work.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

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

      1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

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

    2. Le _ Professeur
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Well I'm off to bed 😀

  6. TokyoRisingSun
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

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

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      wouldn't say nailed with Arbeloa there now too.

  7. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Is benching Lamela this week the right option?

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

    1. Le _ Professeur
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day 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
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 day 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?

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Defoe rose, Valencia didn't.

  10. The Donald
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Lanzini + Benteke over Lamela + Zaza right?

    1. gruffyboy

      Yes

  11. nedfoo

    1. gruffyboy

      Redmond

  12. gruffyboy

    Price Changes - 9th September 2016

    Risers : Defoe

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

    1. Le _ Professeur
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Only Defoe ! .. a bit surprising

    2. Surgical Attack
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

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

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

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

        1. Surgical Attack
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 day ago

          Hence he didn't rise.

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Once Gradel starts starting he'll be a great option

    4. A.T
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Gordon Bennett 🙁

    5. Brayden29
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Would be nice if Foster went up

    6. COYS Down Under
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

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

    7. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Foster you goddamn tease.

      1. A.T
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

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

    8. Pinky Blinders
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day 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
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Booom Tadic survived!

  14. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Mahrez dropped

  15. screaming.bunny
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

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

    1. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Baines & De Gea

      1. screaming.bunny
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        thanks

  16. Lav
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day 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
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

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

    2. Alonso's Ball
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Don't plan in detail yet

  17. TeachYouAlisson
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day 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
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day 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
      10 years, 1 day ago

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

  18. Z
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    GTG?

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

    1. screaming.bunny
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

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

      1. screaming.bunny
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        And Collins replacing Pieters, maybe

        1. Z
          • 10 Years

          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
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Ongoing.

    2. Pinky Blinders
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day 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
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Heaton or Foster this GW if you had to pick?

    1. screaming.bunny
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Foster

    2. michudagawd
      • 13 Years

      Heaton

    3. Shakshuka

      Heaton

    4. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years

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

      1. Z
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Burnley are at home

        1. screaming.bunny
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 day ago

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

    5. Z
      • 10 Years

      Bench Boost

    6. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

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

    7. Waylander
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day 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
      10 years, 1 day 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
    10 years, 1 day ago

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

    1. Waylander
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day 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
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Cheers. Is Caz nailed on tho?

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Get both and downgrade one in two weeks

    3. Alonso's Ball
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Get Caz + 1 of the big guys

  22. Shakshuka
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 day 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
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Lots of love for Valencia here for his potential BPS

    2. Magic Bean

  23. Waylander
    • 10 Years

    Ozil and Sterling
    OR
    Cazorla and Nolito

      WC transfers.

  26. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 day 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
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I kinda like it 🙁

    2. Alonso's Ball
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day 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
        10 years, 1 day 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
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 day 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
    10 years, 1 day 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
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I also have exactly enough to do:

    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.
