Hands up, this ScoutCast is a bit scruffy.

Signed off work and delirious with man flu, we had to coax Granville to keep him from his sick bed. Fortunately, the fact he had a decent Gameweek helped persuade him.

However, he did insist on an early kick-off, with no pre-match warm-up. So Jonty and I were ill-prepared and it also meant that, head frazzled by a Lemsip overdose, Granville forgot to lock his children in the cupboard before we started.

Imagine the horror when they wandered in to hear Granville gloating about Yannick Bolasie.

Of course, you don’t have to imagine – you can join Jonty and myself as we risk contracting Granville’s affliction in order to talk about Fantasy Football for an hour.

Steered by another round of community questions, we also dip into Stoke assets, the captaincy, attacking defenders and, inevitably, with his transfers out stats climbing quicker than Granville’s temperature, we discuss Aguero’s fading star.

If you can bear to brave the chaos of this latest germ-ridden episode, then you can view the Google Hangout version, first published on our YouTube channel, in the second player below.

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

    Question: "Is Walcott ill?"
    Wenger: "No he's not ill, a slight minor hamstring injury for Theo."

      Boom!

      😆

      Something like this was just said in the presser.

      thanks Ozil

    7. Mini Mane Mo

      Wenger will surely save Theo for CL right?

    8. Dre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Oh that's a problem

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

      Slight minor hamstring plus Ramsey available playing Sunderland = worried

    10. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Did Wenger give a good pretext to bench Wally and pave way for Ramsey?
      That was always gonna happen once Rambo is back..

      Hope he doesn't get a cameo to ruin Capoue's chance in my team..

  2. boc610

    wally hamstring tweek you say? music to my ears

  3. Christina.
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    ...aaand Walcott light is on...

    PANIC!

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Capoue to the rescue.

      1. Christina.
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nah.

      2. A.T
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Who needs Capoue when you've got De Roon.

    2. Viprin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      not long now before it turns red

  4. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Arsene Wenger's press couldn't have gone much worse for us.

    Walcott very unlikely to take part this weekend.
    Cazorla a doubt which means Sanchez(c) could easily fail. Arsenal were toothless last weekend due to the midfield partnership of Elneny and Coquelin which provided no drive or smooth transition to attack.

  5. MrMaverick
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    anyone who got walcott at 7.5 and is getting rid now are downright stupid

    1. MrMaverick

          lol

    2. boc610
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      he has spurs and united after this and frees up cash for a second liverpool midfielder. i don't own him but i can see peoples logic

    3. Christina.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lucky me then. Bought @ 7.7m last week. Selling for 7.9m.

      😎

    4. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends, if they also got Sanchez for 10.9 and plan to hang on then not really.

  6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    People don't trust kun...but they trust sanchez? I don't get that myself but I'm sure one of you will give me a good tactical reason

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Team form
      (But I am trusting Kun>Sanchez this gw)

    2. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone can blank it's not a case of trust just Arsenal in better form with better fixture

    3. Mini Mane Mo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kun's returns last 3 GWS - 2 -1 1
      Sanchez's returns - 3 5 3

    4. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez more nailed.

      Arsenal in better form than City.

      Sunderland a poorer opponent than West Brom.

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ok cheers

      Think I'd drop sanchez before kun myself but I'll probably be making the wrong decision

  7. Dr Mantis Toboggan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If you dont captain Sanchez playing as a striker against the bottom team in a week where theres no standout options, when do you captain him?

    1. Jay_
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Loads did when he was at home to the 2nd bottom from the league team 2 weeks ago with no standout options. Even though he got an assist that still might be haunting a few people. Walcott stole the show.

        1. Dr Mantis Toboggan
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah. I'm certainly not locking in Sanchez yet. Just thinking out loud

          1. Jay_
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Between him and Deeney for me. Waiting for Captain sensible.

          2. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Is Walcott still a doubt?

            1. Jay_
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Find out in about 12 hours. I reckon he'll be alright.

        2. shirtless
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Captaincy Conundrums...

          Kun - bench risk

          Benteke - plays his old team but has already burnt me twice including Stoke and that missed pen the other week

          Walcott - early KO

          Firmino/Coutinho - might blank and Mane takes all the credit this week

          It would appear Ibra(c) is my best bet. Riding high at the top of Goals Imminent, the win vs City might just get them going now. If he blanks he goes next week along with Capoo with 2 FT's. A yellow card will make that an easy decision anyway.

          Who are you guys choosing?

          1. Weasel Boy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Sanchez
            3rd time lucky i guess.

            Think Deeney is a decent shout if you had him.

          2. Smurf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            So early KO is a more justifiable reason to not captain a player (Walcott) than horrendous form (Ibra)? Nice logic.

            1. shirtless
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I just hate early KO's. Captained Theo last week and he blanked. My 6th fail which is ridiculous!

          3. skodaole2
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Out of those Ibra, since you kept him until now.

          4. El-Kloppico
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I like the way/reason used to rule the others out. Quiet biaised, but if you feel Ibra is the punt, go with your gut! 😉

          5. Rhinos
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Kun is not a bench risk and early ko is purely psychological. If anything it's a plus for Arsenal coz Sunderland played Weds night

            1. shirtless
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              How can anyone read Pep's mind at the moment?

          6. BossBrolin
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Ibra switched back to his old Nike Mercurial at half time against City so now I expect him back in early season form again! Last five games he played in Adidas.. Easy choice for the armband!

            1. shirtless
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Good enough for me. Other transfers have held me back from dispensing with his services so it's now or never!

          7. Partick Bateman
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            No idea.
            Was thinking Coutinho and hoping for another 3-3 type game.

        3. John Nerdelbaum
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          snod fell then - anyone know what he was on on fpl stats when he dropped?

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Think someone said only about -80 has happened to more than 1 player last day or two.

              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Targett and Baines recently.

            1. John Nerdelbaum
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              yeah glad I took the plunge

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Here he was at -80 just a few hours before the price changes http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2016/10/27/say-what-25/?hc_page=6#hc_comment_14347856

            Last night people on here were saying he wouldn't drop until Friday, maybe even Saturday.

            So much for keeping on top of my team value 🙁

                9 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah, not much to do unless one of you benchers can be swapped out. I don't like the idea of using a transfer for the sake of using a transfer.

                1. Hy liverpool

            I think you would be a fool not to look at Cédric Soares when fit. Southampton's fixtures are good after this weekend and they dont concede very many ...

          whats the deal with the stat tables... broken? can we rely on them? or does it show the last x games the person played in?

          http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/public-stats-tables/view/1026/

          Has Dann top of the list for last 4 or 2 games despite not playing the last 4.
          at face value Dann shouldnt be in anythig filtered by last 4 gw.

          1. TorresMagic™

            • 16 Years

            Are you looking at last 4 matches?

            1. Bggz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              last four or last two even, Dann's still top.

                9 years, 1 month ago

                When you look at matches, it only looks at their last 2/4 games regardless of when. When you look at GWs, Dann disappears.

                  ah yes, gws instead of matches. ta

          1) Firmino Pieters/Cameron or
          2) Lallana Alonso

          I have Coutinho. Which of the above is the better combination?

          My team:

          GK - Heaton (Pickford)

          DEF - Koscienly, Williams, Clyne (Friend, Amat)

          MID - Capoue, Sanchez, Sterling, Antonio(Fletcher)

          FOR - Lukaku, Aguero, Benteke

          0.6 in the bank. What transfers should I make?

          1. Gazj11
            • 11 Years

            Williams needs to go IMO. Maybe for Pieters.

            1. Jacob123
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Williams to Smith or Holebas?

              1. Gazj11
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Holebas out of those 2. I'm bringing in Pieters this week.

            2. Blue&White85
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I'd keep Williams this week.

          2. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Sterling and Antonio to Shaqiri/Arnie and Firmino/Mane?

          3. Moin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I would say Williams + Antonio to Alonso + someone else...

          4. Cosmos
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I'd lose Antonio for Lallana. Liverpool have some good upcoming fixtures whereas West Ham have some shockers

        11. dashdriver
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Who to play?

          Stones or Smith

          Chadli or Capoue

          Cheers

          1. Zareos
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Smith - more threat, and let's be honest CS potential.

            Capoue - Hull (H)

            1. dashdriver
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Thanks, that's what I'm leaning towards too.

                I'm on Sanchez. Deeney a decent punt, but not impressed with him But it is Hull

          Tempted to just keep Walcott and bring my defender transfer forward one week and play 4-3-3 or play Capoue.

          Sounds like he will only be out for 1 week

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            It's a shame though as this was the golden goose fixture. Spurs at home could be a tight affair as could Man Utd away

            But then he has Spurs and United so I wouldn't blame people for moving him on... Especially if people have doubled up with Sanchez.
            I might in fact..

            1. sminkypinky
              • 14 Years

              Me too. But is Cout worth a hit?

              • 15 Years

              Will be Fuchs or Alonso probably. Have Baines currently.

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

            Spurs/United and Rambo back might be the right time to sell?

          5. President Giggs
            • 12 Years

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

            Spurs and Utd next, though. Think I'll ship him out for Redmond after the deadline.

            Walcott to Sanchez, Aguero to Deeney or Lukaku. If Deeney then can do Antonio to Lallana/Contin how for - 4

          • Has Moderation Rights

          Antonio to Arnie, Shaqiri or Chadli?

          Shame Walcott isnt looking likely to play as I would have liked to of banked the transfer!

          1. some witty pun
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Shaqiri imo, i like his stats better

            Keep in mind that Antonio played well as a forward against Chelsea and i expect him to keep his spot

          2. Individual
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Hey AZ, does your point about rolling the transfer mean you'd have benched Antonio?

            I'd do Antonio to Shaqiri probably at this point in time, given Stoke's fixtures and Arnie being on 4ycs. Less proven but seemingly on form, with the stats to back it up. Chadli comes in for me when they are playing Hull in a few weeks (think GW12?) so you can do a straight swap then!

            1. Az
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights

              9 years, 1 month ago

              Thanks Individual 🙂

              Yes was planning on benching Antonio this week and play Capoue (have Williams).

              Interesting point Mind, I didn't realise he played up front. Aah! Decisions!

              1. Individual
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                If you wana roll your FT (I need to before the international break - I've got a few bad fixtures next week for my Stoke players, for example, but meh I'll have to muddle through) I'd be tempted to do it this week!

                You've already lost 0.2-3 on Antonio (I shipped him for Lallana this week!) so I'd be tempted to just play it lol

          3. Robben Mee Blind
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I'm probably going for Shaqiri but might switch to Chadli in a couple of weeks when fixs improve

                • 12 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                yeah coz drops hard to predict but chances are that he'll drop before deadine

            2. Rhinos
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              drops are hard to predict, has shot up from when i last looked, would be very unlucky if lamela injured now so no point risking it

            I love that comparison tool, though it's getting in the way of me considering doing Aguero to Lukaku 🙂

            1. Rhinos
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              i put Pereyra in it and it shook some sense into me

            • 9 Years

            It's a great tool. I like the average position map, really cool part of the site which must've took a fair bit of work.

            Good luck with Lamela, hoping Son can do the business too.

          Best Bournemouth defender to own?

          A) Daniels (more attacking threat)
          B) Smith (0.3 cheaper with decent assist threat)
          C) Francis (save 0.5)

          1. Sharpe Shuffle
            • 9 Years

            I'm a fan of Smith. Always involved in the final third

          2. bojack
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Smith for me. Like Daniels but too expensive for Bournemouth.

            Yes, rotation risk, and they haven't been keeping CS anyway

            because we are watching him play ... also look at his history 21212121212122121212121212121

            Look at his scores and the options like Holebas, Smith, Pieters that are cheaper

            Stones has been rank, and this is from an owner from the start of the season. City's one clean sheet this season, Stones was dropped. Making some high profile mistakes last few games, directly resulting in goals.

            That said I've held on to him so long, I'm gonna keep for the next couple of fixtures to get something out of him. I'll probably regret it though!

              He's always been kak. He was kak at Everton as well...he made loads of mistakes. There's been a lot of Emperor's new clothing going on with that lad these past two years.

                The only thing I can really remember from the times I've watched him is being sold by that dummy v Watford on the first day last season. I don't think he's recovered. Think it was Ighalo.

                Have to agree with Wakey.

                I never understood the hype and think he is average at best.

                To be honest, I didn't even think he was good enough for EVE.

                He may still improve, but I'm not convinced he will.

            0 clean sheets on the season.

          I have only one question left this wk.
          Should I do sterling -- coutinho?? For free.
          I have firmino, some of my rivals have both,some have just coutinho. When coutinho scores and I don't have him it hurts. On the other hand none of them have sterling.

            Yeah, I think so. Just got Coutinho in for Son to double up with Firmino. Optimistic about it

            aoa would be good if you had it ... bolasie instead of clyne (who plays vs your tekkers)
            anyway it looks good ... captain?

              Dunno. Sanchez probably.

                  I know. It's not even if he scores or not...it's like half the gameweek is over before it's barely begun. Saturday tea time captains are the best.

          Sounds like Rojo might play against Burnley and maybe beyond
