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.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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

    4. GHB
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

    5. Arteta
      • 10 Years

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anichebe Hazard Evans Cedric

  9. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Looks like I'm playing 5-3-2. If ever I needed clean sheets!

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      My ml rival has done well with defence. Good luck

  10. Elijah's Wood
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else playing with 10 men? Iheanacho on the bench could mean he doesnt play if City score a couple.

    Amat and PVA coming in for Hazard, Anichebe, Evans

    1. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      yes... no cedric and no haz

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      playing with 11, but 4 of them are Allen, Fletcher, Stones and Lovren 🙂

    3. GHB
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Don't moan about ten.

      I have 11...one is Jagielka -1

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Lol the silver lining

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

    Could stomach the loss of Hazard, but losing Evans and Anichebe really did me in

  12. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    No cedric again for some reason. Hazard and anichebe suddenly injured. Thats me down to 10 men.

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      me too..hazard cedric nacho out...sub zaha mcauley kingsley..

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Anichebe was my 1st sub 🙁

  13. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Unreal, to think I didn't want Evans nor Cedric to play for Williams to come off 3rd on the bench!

  14. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    gotta a namecheck on the Scoutcast for my "rough" -12 - Cedric, Can, Nacho.

    Keep your eyes open Jonty when I repeat it to get them out again !!!
    Nacho's already gone, Cedric is right behind him.

  15. GreatCarragherReef
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    marney or hendrick the better fanduel option?

    1. Little Frank
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Hendrick

  16. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Nacho usually does well off bench so no big worry. Fresh pair of legs after 65 minutes

  17. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I can only field 10 even after auto subs, wonderful!

  18. Kermit Special
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    This is turning out to be an awful gw

  19. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Playing 3:3:2 here, need an Holeobas haul.

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      What you need, is alcohol.

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Half way through a bottle of Lidl red already!

  20. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Do we all have casual ml rivals on here that prove quite hard to beat. Bit awkward

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      yep, rival managed to dodge most of the omissions tonight.

    2. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah tell me about it. 60 points behind. You?

  21. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Well my bench is all used up 11 fielded though, can't complain

  22. L S P
    • 10 Years

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

      Great. No Nacho, Haz or Cedric in my team. Happy days

  23. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Amat to score a goal today and become an fpl legend

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

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

    "Is _______ nailed?" is my favourite question on FFS. If you have to ask, the answer is no

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Is zlatan nailed?

  26. KeepCalm
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    De Roon. Its all on your cheap shoulders now..

  27. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Smith and Holebas comes off the bench for me. For Cedric and Evans

    I bet Capoue scores and assist tonight. And he'll be laughing at me from my bench.

  28. DantheManinaPan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    No Hazard or Nacho. Amat my only benched player. Only thing I'm glad about is my 2 FT after keeping Firmino...

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He'll score

  29. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Look like all three subs are coming on then: Allen - Amat - Kone

    So 1pt - 1pt - -2pts = 0pts 😎
