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.

        Best Erikssen replacement after GW17?

        A) Pedro (BOU, STK, tot)

        B) Lallana (STK, MCI, sun)

        C) Wallcot (WBA, CRY, bou)

        Tempted by Lallana as he's the most nailed and key to Liverpools attack.

        Appreciate your thoughts!

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Also tempted by Lallana but maybe we will be able to wait with outing Eriksen

          1. Karan_G14
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            (sou, wat, CHE, WBA, mci)

            That's a tough run of fixtures to own Kane & Erikssen. Erikssen can go cold I just wanted him for his good run of fixtures.

        2. Speédy
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          right pick

        3. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Why selling Eriksen again?

          1. Karan_G14
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            Not keen on double Spurs for their run of fixtures after the weekend. Kane is enough and Lallana loves scoring in home games.

            1. JÆKS ⭐
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 day ago

              Yea just bought Eriksen, but see your point. I was planning on buying Mhki but he was injured so Eriksen as a replacement for now. Lallana also high on the list though. Not so keen on Pedro, seems like a 60 minute player for every game

              1. Karan_G14
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 day ago

                Yup I bought him for 3 games (SWA, HUL, BUR).

                I think Lallana is the best option as he's nailed. Erikssen can go cold and be very frustrating to own so I'd like to get rid after the Burnley game.

                Even Walcott gets hooked around the 70 min mark so I'm not convinced by him too.

                1. JÆKS ⭐
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 1 day ago

                  Yea indeed, Coutinho back in gw 19 as well I believe.

                  1. Karan_G14
                    • 9 Years
                    9 years, 1 day ago

                    I'd like to see him start a couple of games after that I think he's the go to Liverpool mid.

        4. Over Midwicket
          • 13 Years

          Pedro could flourish with Hazard out. And that price..

          1. Karan_G14
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            Hazard is not confirmed out for the next match yet. If he is then it might be different but Pedro can be rotated with Willian.

            1. Philip Jones's Diary
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 day ago

              It looks like Hazard is just a break after a small knock. Highly doubt he will miss the next match.

      5. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        De Roon coming in for Haz for me!

        Might put Ake in tonight, worth the cheap price over Smith/other BOU defenders?

          'If' he is a starter and Liverpool defense is crap. And its not even like he will get save points.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Does seem a bit odd, makes Klopp look a bit silly really.

          Think Karius will be decent for Pool in the end, but then Mignolet was a good keeper at Sunderland so...

        Somehow Capoue ended up in my starting XI. Be amazed if he actually scored.

        2 FT, should I?

        A Clyne & Nacho > Gibson & Defoe
        B Firmino & Nacho > Payet & Llorente
        C Something else

        1. The Royal Robin

            1. FCSB

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Only 76k transferred in Kane (HUL) as opposed to 317k for Kane (mun). Looks like a fair few missed the deadline.

        1. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Or they thought it was a DGW which is why they bought him in for the United game.

        2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Or the best forward in the league didn't just get a 4 game ban... one of the two

        3. LeicesterA
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Swapping from Aguero will do that.

        4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          People making transfers quickly this season and it made sense that there would be a mass buy after his last two goals which came before MUN. Many people don't seem to care about fixtures.

      19. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        1 FT, what to do?

        A) Firmino > Payet (3rd mid)

        9 years, 1 day ago

        I see a lot of people attributing their succesful auto-subs to the prospects of having a strong bench. That is only partly true, because it all depends on WHEN your auto-subs get called in. Is it during a good or bad week for your bench? You can't predict that

        1. Hurricane Gilbert
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          *successful

        2. jurgenklopp.8
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          so much this

        3. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Well if you have a crap bench chances are you'll never get decent points off it when needed anyway.

          1. Hurricane Gilbert
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            Yeah but speaking about FFSers, almost nobody have a bench of non-playing prospects. Say that this week I have Holebas coming off the bench, which would be considered to be bad because of City (A).

      24. GHB
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Looks like Defoe & Anicebe both in squad.

        Not a great source on twitter but hopefully correct

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          link it then....

        2. The Royal Robin
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          What's Defoe's record like vs Chelsea?

      25. FCSB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        if both non-casuals, can a 100 point gap be made up by the end of the season??

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Can be made up in a month

        2. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Easily. I was 150 points behind Ville Ronke at this stage last season but ended up beating him by a couple of points.

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

          Could be done in 2 weeks

        4. Ziegler1988
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          You can do that just from GW30 onwards if you play the DGWs well. Sanchez captainers put 46 points into a lot of people GW14

          1. FCSB
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            true, focus on TV and harnessing the WC is essential then

        5. jurgenklopp.8
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          if it's been made in 15 gameweeks, it can be caught in 23.

          1. FCSB
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            not entirely true, as players are a lot more similar now

            1. jurgenklopp.8
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 day ago

              yes and he has 8 more gameweeks 🙂

                • 9 Years

                So you're working with a formula of sorts?

                1. jurgenklopp.8
                  • 9 Years
                  9 years, 1 day ago

                  ummm he just has longer to catch it up...

            that makes me feel better.
            Ranked 600k last Jan. ended up 6k even though making a complete mess of my chips.

          3. Pep bites Kun
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            Interesting.. is that a ratio or personal opinion you're working with?

            1. jurgenklopp.8
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 day ago

              clearly a personal opinion, get a grave btw

              1. jurgenklopp.8
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 day ago

                meant grav but grave would be alright 😉

                1. Pep bites Kun
                  • 9 Years
                  9 years, 1 day ago

                  lol - read 'grave' and thought - that's a bit sharp! Grav is on the cards. Will post a question next week on how it's done. Cheers 🙂

                  1. jurgenklopp.8
                    • 9 Years
                    9 years, 1 day ago

                    yep, no one can remember you without a picture, build an identity 😉

        6. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Easily

        7. LeicesterA
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          This season I would say so. It's the most anti-template year I can recall for a while with no condisent budget enabler (Kane 14/15, Vahrez 15/16)

        8. weaver93
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          easy....

          A few differentials, DGW,and a triple captain can make all the difference, also maybe a new signing in the transfer window..as well

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            easy is easily said rather than done..

            All of the above are great if they work out,but it means you have to have an edge on your opponent, which is more information, which takes more time & effort.. and then judgement.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Of course it can. Im 70 points behind my main work rival but in treating it like its 5 points. Things can turn in this game so quickly
