Dare you go 4-4-2 when the crowd go 3-4-3? Perhaps you fancy “going maverick” with a 3-5-2 or even a 4-5-1?

The third option is to “go Granville” and take your hands off the wheel altogether, hoping for the best.

It seems that the latest tactic from my ScoutCast co-host is to induce a bout of amnesia and miss the Gameweek deadline. In doing so, he’s left his captain on Eden Hazard who, as it transpires, is poised to miss tonight’s Sunderland trip.

Roberto Firmino, a player widely sold ahead of Gameweek 16, is currently warming up to sport Granville’s armband. Surely this ill-fated chain of events can only end one way?

Granville takes time out to talk through his “Ghostship” strategy/tragedy while laying into my 4-5-1 and unshakable faith in John Stones.

Andy and Jonty then chip in as we preview Gameweek 17 and take on a round of community questions that ask whether we should be selling Liverpool, buying United and, in a rather exasperated tone, how any of us can justify overlooking Diego Costa.

I respond with a half-hearted argument, which sounds more like a confession of a fatal error. Make your own mind up on that one.

      Alonzo, Cedric, Evans
      Alexis, Sig, Payat, Firmino
      Costa, Kane, Origi

      Pickford, Amat, De Roon, Francis

      1) Origi to Ibra and downgrade firmino to someone like Zaha?
      2) Origi to Anichi and upgrade Mid?

      1. Sailboats

        play pickford

      2. Zareos

      Very tempted by Zaha from GW18+ however not if he definitely will be playing for Ivory Coast in January.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        He's not definitely playing for anybody yet. Ivory Coast has applied to make him eligible if he chooses, and he's met them, but as yet Southgate is trying to get him to reconsider.

        If its a Ihe-no-show tonight who's tempted to swap to Anichebe and go 3-5-2? Struggling to find good sub 7m striker alternatives.

        I've had a nightmare with captain choices this season. So don't be surprised tonight if Kane scores an OG and gets sent off in the first 5 minutes.

          I understand you, I have chosen them so so..My bench always helped me though.. Bench is really important in fantasy.

            Nah, rotation risk, injury prone and Soton not scoring many goals.

              • 13 Years

              Rotating with who ?

              OOP....He's a good player, and might take a week or two to do anything, but he could be the answer to the Redmond and Long nightmare.I have no idea how he convinced himself Redmond was a forward.

              9 years, 3 days ago

              I've my eye on him....could be an excellent transfer, especially with Watford's decent run of fixtures!

          3. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 3 days ago

            My current defense:

            Pickford (Grant)
            Alonso Vertonghen Monreal Cedric Amat

            Thinking of dropping Monreal. Who should I (if I should) drop him for?

            1. joescores
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 3 days ago

              for now- jones..but there is a risk..or AKE

              1. ★Kuntheman★
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 3 days ago

                Hmm. Definitely considering Ake.

            2. Sweetboi
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 3 days ago

              As I Kosc owner I understand...but the fixtures after City are prime.

              1. Sweetboi
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 3 days ago

                Your defence is stronger than mine though, could do Monreal > Ake/Jones

              2. ★Kuntheman★
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 3 days ago

                I agree...it's just that they have been so enragingly poor defensively

            I'd be very worried as a Hazard owner... These are the sort of niggling injuries that can be more mental than physical.. Could last weeks, months... Heard Diaby missed the bus once and we all know what happened him.
