The ScoutCast – Episode 216 – Confessional

I am a Fantasy Football manager, and I’m addicted to double Gameweeks. It’s a confession that the ScoutCast team are all too eager to admit in this latest ScoutCast episode.

Recorded prior to the confirmation of the first double Gameweek of the season, we were nonetheless correctly counting our chickens and allowing your multitude of community questions on Manchester City assets to steer the chatter.

Granville rejoined Jonty, Andy and myself to reinforce our investigation in Pep’s charges and to add his views to the heated Triple Captain debate surrounding Sergio Aguero. Yes, him again.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

    I'm loving that this DGW has distracted everyone from the blanks next week. Without hits how many players will you have next week? 10 for me if everyone is fit (looking at you Phillips)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      10 if Phillips plays.

      1. Peggi
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        10 players with no hits taken could be a big differential

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Mark has 7 no hits. Players like Fletcher, FM, Phillips are the main differentials so not many points.

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      8 (with Phillips and Carroll) and will get Lukaku.

      Might do Sterling > Firmino as well for a -4

    3. Scratch
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      As said earlier...

      5 of the 11 most sold forwards this week play in GW28
      6 of the 9 most sold midfielders this week play in GW28

      Next week could be lovely

      1. Peggi
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        despite the lack of games I'm looking forward to it

      2. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Watch us save our transfer whereas ppl who take -16 hits make profit (since theoretically it'll be a -8 for them)

    4. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'm saving a transfer this week so I can get 9 out next week(got Aguero (TC) Allen and Pieters).. that being said I'm still weighing an Ake to Stones move with the other FT

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Will have Heaton, Lukaku, Siggy, Baines, Coleman, Brunt, Snoddy,Mane, Phillips (hopefully) so hoping quality beats quantity

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I'd get a City mid in there if possible. Not sure on your midfield.

    5. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      8 + Stan with no hits. May bring in Barnes to have 9 and switch to 442 for a couple weeks after the blanks.

    6. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Probably 8, hopefully saving FT

    7. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      One guy on here yesterday has 3 outfield players for 28.

      1. Peggi
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        jeez, I hope he has 3 city and 3 stoke players this week

    8. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'll have 9, and don't think I'll bring in anyone else. I think if you have Lukaku, at least one Liverpool mid, Siggy and a few defenders, you'll be fine. Will also make it easier to get rid of the ones you really don't want anymore (i.e Brunt and King for me) to get ready for the next DGW.

    9. Root
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      11 if Lovren and Francis play.

      1. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I'll have 6:

        Baines McAuley
        Mane Siggy Barkley
        Lukaku

        Reckon that will be enough to beat the average?

        1. Peggi
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          most casuals won't have realised or planned for the blanks so it should beat the average. I don't think 6 is enough but those are a strong 6 considering what teams are playing

          1. Sharpe Shuffle
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Playing v Average in my H2H next week so as long as I beat that, I'll be happy. May take a hit to get 7 out. Not sure yet

    10. Carpe Diem
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      10 if Phillips plays. Will take a hit to make it 11.

      1. Peggi
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        who will you bring in? you would have to be confident in them getting over 4 points

        1. Carpe Diem
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Firmino and Llorente, (Llorente enables Firmino so I'm seeing it as a hit for Firmino). I'll recoup 2 points at least if he plays 60 so any attacking points and I profit.

    11. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      7ish

    12. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Looking at 11 and hoping that'll be a real boost in my ML.

      Heaton
      Coleman, Brunt, A.Smith
      Mané, Firmino, Sigurdsson, Barkley, Phillips
      Lukaku, Carroll

      Robinson, Stones, Alonso, Agüero

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Looks nice but come GW29, what are your plans? No Spurs, Sanchez and City vs Liverpool.

        1. Football Weekender
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Planning on Wildcarding and loading up on the teams with good fixtures and double gameweeks. I know a lot are saving their WC for GW36 in preparation for bench boost in GW37 but I think doing it early and working towards that over time will be just as effective. Well hopefully!

    13. Game of Throw_ins
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      8 as of now. Will make it 10 by bringing in Coutinho and Snoddy for a hit.

    14. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      10 with Philly.. 11 when I go Sterling to Snoddy next week

    15. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      8 next week with 1 FT. But have 4 DGW's 27.

    16. JJJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      should be a low scoring GW, not worried about getting a full squad

      1. karvs155
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        8 with no hits. Probably doing one or two hits to get 10, depends on who I want

  2. Geoff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hey DZ, looking good? No FT, 1.3m.

    Heaton (Pickford)
    Pieters McAuley Coleman (Holebas Baines)
    Sterling Eriksen Mane Sigurdsson (Phillips)
    Aguero Kane Carroll

    Obvious doubts over Phillips and Carroll. Bench right on defence?

    Cheers in advance

    1. Peggi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      looks good, have you considered Eriksen > Sane for a hit?

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I have but not for me - I already sold Alli and I think Tottenham could have a good game.

        Also their fixtures are good after the blank. One extra game from Sane for -4 isn't worth it in my mind when I'll want Eriksen back (as well as Sanchez and Ibra) after the blank

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Baines ahead of Holebas. Othewise good to go

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers. RMT says Holebas ahead of Coleman too..

        Would you play Carroll or Phillips?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          If fit, both are likely to make sub appearances, so I would go for Carroll.

    3. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I like Coleman, can do damage against anyone.

    4. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      G2G, Baines ahead of Holebas imo although it probably won't matter

      1. liiusions
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Didn't notice Carroll, but still Baines over Holebas for me

  3. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Chances of Scout picking Sanchez and Brunt?

    1. Peggi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Brunt yes, Sanchez probably not

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers...

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Look at the order they make their picks. That should be a guide depending on budget.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Can they pick more than 3 City players? Not sure who will they drop out of Sane and Stones 😮

        1. Magic Bean
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Stones over Dane for them I think

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I thought 3 was the limit for any team so same rule for you.

  4. liiusions
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    This site is going to be mental come 3pm Sunday

  5. Magic Bean
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Would you do Hazard to Sterling for a -8?? Already have Ageuro. Thanks

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe...

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Man.its -4 .and Yes do it

    3. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      -8 no. -4 probably.

    4. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers for the input

    The entire Aguero TC decision for me depends on my educated guess on when Arsenal's second DGW will take place. This is because of factors, DGW 37 is for my bench boost and Alexis is the perfect DGW player in my opinion. OOP as a striker, higher points ceiling, guaranteed to play both games if fit etc.

    Assuming Arsenal beat Lincoln, these are the possibilities:
    Arsenal will have to play a DGW in 32 (mid),33 (cpa),35 (tot) or 36 (UTD). Only the palace away fixture looks tasty and a DGW 33 for Arsenal with cpa and LEI would be absolutely perfect. However.......
    Arsenal play GW 32 and 33 on a Monday night. I'm only speculating, but i think this heavily decreases the chances of a midweek game for them. So, if the assumption is true, they'll most probably play a 35 or 36 DGW. And the fixtures don't look too good in that period.

    I really need to try and figure a good guess somehow. What do you guys think?

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Interesting obs with the Monday night fixture. I'm clueless as to how it will pan out.

      1. 824545201
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I guess a Thursday night fixture is plausible, but highly unlikely i'd guess.

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Same boat

    3. Scratch
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Your logic is sound. Could see it being 35 and 37 doubles neither of which is good for TC

    4. Kanga roo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Don't know about higher point ceiling. Kun can post some big numbers and often does.

      1. 824545201
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Last year's DGW 34 quick stat:
        Aguero: 4 goals - 26 points
        Sanchez: 2 goals, 1 assist - 25 points

        And Sanchez wasn't playing OOP as a striker last year either. I think he has a much higher points ceiling than Aguero.

  7. Farke in hell
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    can afford only one. sterling or sane?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling

    2. Root
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sané

    3. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling

  8. ChelseaGuy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Got Sterling Aguero Sane
    Still worth Aguero (TC)?

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Owning S+S shouldn't affect your decision

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Point

        1. liiusions
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          ...I say that but I must say it feels like throwing all your eggs in one basket.

          Maybe 3 City enough but, I'm 60/40 towards Tcing myself alongside the triple up

          1. ChelseaGuy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Yea..make or break decision

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I say no. If City do well you'll do well already. I think that's enough eggs and you can save for something later

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        That's what I'm worried about
        Only if we knew when the DGW is gonna be for Sanchez

    3. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If he gets more than 20 definitely worth it

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Very likely
        Thing putting me off is Sanchez DGW TC potential

    4. Farke in hell
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Its tempting. I would wanna hold TC. Man city has many scorers sterling, sane, silva, de bruyne, ?stones!!!!

      I would want to TC either sanchez or Ibra.

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez if not Aguero

  9. Batir19
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Dropped from 1st to 3rd in my ML with 3 straight h2h losses. Need to stop the slide w/o BB or TC. Already did stanislas for sterling. Short 0.1 to swap Phillips for Sane. Thinking Phillips > Allen or Alli > Sane for -4. Other suggestions? Here is the team AoA:
    Grant
    Dann Brunt
    Alli, Sterl (c), Mane, Siggy, Phillips
    Ibra, Rondon, Feeney
    Bench: Baines, Maguire, Lovren, Heaton.

    Please help.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I like the team but I'm against the TC. Lots for it though.

      1. liiusions
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        It's not active just yet, the simple fact that midfielders get 1 point per goal + CS point is tempting me to leave it for Sanchez or even Haz

        1. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I just think there's too much doubt over Aguero's gametime.

          At least I think that with a triple City attack you've covered yourself if City score a lot and you don't need to take the risk. Obviously Aguero might score 5 goals but so might someone you might TC later

          1. liiusions
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            That's my main issue. I do think he'll start both games but should City be 2-0 at HT or even 0-2 down I can see Pep changing it completely up.

            It'll be a 11:29 Saturday decision

            1. Carpe Diem
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Pep didn't change it up at 3-1 up at HT against Huddersfield reserves, he's not going to risk it in a game where the stakes are much higher.

              1. liiusions
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                All depends on what he sees them challenging for in the PL and how good he thinks Boro B team is. He's so unpredictable we can't second guess him; come Saturday morning I'm certain I'll bottle it

  12. Scratch
    • 14 Years

    This is a long shot but is there any way to know what % of players have used their wildcard inside the top 100k

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Just use the top 10K stats.

      Yeah, cant really do anything

    3. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years

      I couldn't bench Coleman but that's just me

    4. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'm playing Alonso Brunt Naughton and benching FM and Baines so gotta agree with you there, GL 🙂

    5. Scratch
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think Spurs Everton will be tight, tough to bench both those guys i'd probably hedge my bets

    6. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      NBNC Baines?
      That said I'm benching him 😛

    5. Rainer

      I go outside the Sterling & Sane double up it'll be KDB without question.

    6. ChelseaGuy

      If money doesn't matter KDB

      Thanks All

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    3 big rivals all got in Kun & Sterling. 1 got Sane as well and another got a player who didn't rise so maybe Stones, KDB, Silva, Yaya or even a Stoke player... Slightly behind them and if Phillips is good to go I could make Alli into KDB for a big differential in my ML, thoughts?

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Think Sterling/Sane are better options than KdB, irrespective of price

  16. The Hustle Is Real

      Nice

    4. Root
      • 12 Years

      He sold Ibrahimovic.

      1. liiusions
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Do you not think it's Kane who will have made way? Either will be coming back GW29 I'd say

        1. Pep says
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Ibra away to Middlesbrough in 29 is not a good fixture.

          1. liiusions
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Kun will become Kane/Ibra in GW29 to fund getting Sanchez back I'd say

        2. Root
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Squad value/ITB don't add up for Kane.

          His transfers most likely were Ibra+Stan -> Agüero+Sterling.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            You're right. For some reason, I thought he bought him for 11.3

          2. liiusions
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Just seen a post on Reddit and it seems like you're right. You'd think he won't be getting Ibra back then, would have made more sense to sell Kane this week if one were to come back

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Needed the cash to lose Stan.

      2. Viprin
        • 8 Years

  18. SpaceCadet

    Still confused on the silva v kdb pick. Which of these pairs looks better?

    a. silva and coutinho
    b. kdb and arnie

    1. L S P
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      a thousand times A

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yup

    2. Squashed
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      which arnie?? cant be Schwarzenegger

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        dam right it is!

    3. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A but I don't mind the Arnie punt, was tempted myself but went with Sane

    4. Squashed
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      now its not the time for stoke players. gw33 and beyond yes but hes not the playa he was a season ago. there are better players to own in that stretch.

  19. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Main thing I want this week is Lukaku outscoring Kane.

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      That would be splendid

    2. L S P
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      i'm totally cool with that...as long as Kun outscores Luk.

    3. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Did you end up doing Spurs->City?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, not happy about it but seemed most sensible. Really wish I sold Holebas over Amat last week so I could have had the other option for -4 and a better Phillips exit plan.

        1. liiusions
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          It makes a lot of sense this week, I was certain to ditch Eriksen this week but his performances in FA and PL convinced me otherwise. Guessig Kane at least is coming back in GW29/30?

          I'm feeling the same way about Naughton over Fernandez(!) 0.1 more this week would have made me able to just do Ibra+Phillips->Kun+Sane

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Rookie mistake by me if I don't play Holebas before selling. Nice fixtures when Everton have harder ones later made me stick 🙁 Will need to decide between Sanchez and Kane for GW29 or could get both with some GW28 planning.

            1. liiusions
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Holebas is due a 15 pointer so who knows? I've got a plan for Sanchez GW29, Kane (and Gabbi) GW30. Think Ibra Kane Gabbi front line will become the template

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 15 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                Think we might have an early DGW so that will be a factor depending on FA Cup results.

              2. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 15 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                He looked decent attacking wise last game. If I don't play him vs S'ton then he might disappear soon anyway.

    4. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      1-1 Guaye and Dembele works for me

    5. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Luka outscoring Kun and Kane would be nice

    6. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Exactly. As I have sold Kane and Kept Lukaku after thinking much and due to SAS

    7. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen go too?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yep. Lots of selling value gone.

    8. Root
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I need Everton to keep a CS.

      Sold Kane and Eriksen, starting Baines and Coleman.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights

        Playing Coleman, benching FM.

    9. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I want KDB to get the most goals for Man City this DGW

      1. Viprin
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Sane to outscore Sterling is all I want

  20. Pep says
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I wonder how many casuals without Kun will draft him in if he gets a hatty on Sunday prior to the Stoke game Wednesday thinking he will be in their team for the 2nd fixture. You just know it's gonna happen...

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      FPL Twitter account will make sure this doesn't happen

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Some will still knee-jerk on Sunday when he's banging in goals

      2. rdamjan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        You give too much credit to twitter.

    2. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Quite a few I'd say, you'd hope we wouldn't be worried about them though

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Might drive his price up overnight thought before I sell

    3. Carpe Diem
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Surely this type of casual doesn't make it to GW27?

  21. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Morning DZ, everyone set for the double?

    Do you think Alli out and Siggy in (-4) is worth it this week? Already on a -4 to bring in Aguero and Sterling but Siggy was this week's planned move and not sure if I should stick to it or not.

    Do you think he outscores Alli by 4 this week?

    It will be getting done next week for a hit anyway, just wondering if it makes sense to go this week or not.

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not for a hit

    2. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hit next week makes sense, if he does outscore him by 4 this week you're just unlucky

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy should outscore Alli this week but that will be close- 60-40 chance Siggy outscores Alli by 4

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Really comes down to the scores. If only 4, you still lose rank as an extra transfer.

    5. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks lads, confirming my gut feeling, feels wrong to take Alli out for a non double as he's always capable and does produce in bigger games.

      Thanks again and good luck with your double scores.

    6. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Going to be close so I.would get Siggy in and Save a transfer further dowthe line for to.use.in.28...

      Not even considering Kun? A, would have got Silva in ahead of Sane myself if I could afford

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years

        No kun man. Leaning towards silva over kdb. Cheers

          Only Ferdinandinho is a worse mid option that KdB for me; plays so deep. Really want Silva, think he could be that one no one goes for and does well. GL

  27. rdamjan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Would you consider that move for -4?

    Williams --> Stones (or just play Coleman and bench Williams)
    Eriksen --> Sane (already did Alli to Sterling)

    This is only options I have... Not worth it ah?

    1. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen to Sane yes provided you get back Eriksen in gw29

      1. rdamjan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        It`s option but probably it will take another hit to take him back...

      Who you getting as replacement? I`m monitoring Snodgrass.

      So plan is next week Sterling to Snodgrass, and before g29 Phillips to Alli probably.

        Will keep for 28 unless ruled out. A few options for 29.

    So you guys have convinced me, I'm going all in on the DGW, 3 City players and Aguero with a triple captain.

    Have just taken out (Sanchez, Lukaku, Alli and Amat) and replaced them with Sterling, Sane, McAuley and Aguero (Triple) (8 point hit)

    I'll still have 8 for week 28 and will pbly look to do 2 transfers and field 10

    Heaton
    Coleman - Baines - Alonso - McAuley
    Siggy - Mane - Sterling - Siggy (v)
    Kane - Aguero (triple)

    Pickford - Phillips - Yoshida - Barnes

    Lets hope I can join the smooth part of rough and smooth for once
