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.

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link or the first player below, or take in the full visual experience, pastry and all, via the second player below.

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

    Repost. Ballsed up before

    Morning chaps

    Thinking of bringing in Ottamendi for Cedric for -8?

    Yay or nay?

    1. Christophe Savage
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      not for me.

    2. nevins84
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn't look very appealing to me

    3. Kavorka
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      noooo

  2. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Serious question - has Bony retired?

    Why he not play no more?

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is he even on the bench week in, week out?

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

      Was wondering the same thing. I think he's just out in the cold actually

    3. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      knocked back a move to china because he was told he would get game time according to him

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Geez I completely forgot about him

  3. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why are people so worried to TC Aguero?
    You never know what the Fixtures will be like for other TC Candidates in future.
    Instead of playing with Variables, it's better to TC Aguero who has form and fixtures.
    Even if you get it Wrong, not like it's end of the world.
    Say, Aguero gets 10 and Sanchez in future DGW gets 20,
    10×3 + 20×2 = 70
    10x2 + 20×3 = 80
    You only lose out on 10 points.

    1. Christophe Savage
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The fear is Pep going crazy and dropping him.
      Also it feels so early!

      Personally was 100% against it then this morning I changed my mind. Currently on but feeling a bit uncomfortable about it.

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

      This is sound logic! Best time is now considering we dont know what the future holds for the other DGWs

    Who's head hurts?

      Torress.

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Guardiola's... as he tries hopelessly to come up with a tactical answer to the Allen threat.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And to maximum screw over the FFS crew....

      Too many things to deal with 😮

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Far too many things to deal with.....are you in H2H leagues Holmes?

        That's what's causing me the pain most....

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

          H2H, OR, Different teams, different games, Scout picks.

          And with all this, there are too many options to deal with...

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            😛 yeah same...

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

    Seems like nothing about Philips from TP's presser

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

        Thanks Jaf!

    1. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think Phillips will play. Hamstrings very dodgy affairs. Saw that with firminho and coutinho last year

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

        Pulis mentioned he is training today..
        if not tomorrow, he'll be okay for next week!

      2. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Scottish hamstrings are tougher than Brazilian
        throw some sawdust on it and he is fine

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Made from girders......

      3. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Phillips just missed 10 or so days though. Firmino and Coutinho missed almost a month if I'm not mistaken. Difference in severity

  6. RohanVaswani
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Can someone pls note down the potential dgw fixtures for arsenal and totts in gw34 and gw37??

    1. Athletic Bilbo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Likely that Arsenal play Spurs in GW34. In an fa cup semi final. All this dgw34 is nonsense, there will be dgw's all over the place if the quarter finals go as expected.

      You can probably chuck City and either United or Chelsea in the mix too.

  7. cjw176
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on Phillips? Or should I just play Walker(EVE)?

    1. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just play walker

    2. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers guys

  8. nevins84
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    TC Aggy? Thats the question... Pep and Aggy have been trolling me all season...
    Cant use it in 37 or 36 for that matter as I'm using WC & BB...

    1. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tc aguero. Last year my little bro tced him away to Newcastle and other match in dbgwer and came away with 70 pts when he hadn't done anything for a while. On red hot form against teams he scores loads against

      1. nevins84
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Aggy last season was very different to Aggy this season tho...

    2. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Go for it

    3. Haggis
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Completely different circumstances back then.

      With City in food form, and Jesus no longer a variable, I'm having confidence that Pep will field SAS as much as possible.

    4. vectorman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm liking the confidence of some on here, it's always going to be a gamble whoever you pick. It's safe to say come the end of this gw there'll be either a lot saying, wish I TC'd Kun or why did I lol

  9. pompeyfan
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Not sure Phillips is nailed on to start, even if he is passed fit. Pulis has often kept with a winning team and players coming back have often been made to wait a game or 2 or 3.

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

    Play Phillips or Baines? Already have Coleman

    1. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Who else is on your bench?

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

        currently baines yoshida and barnes (banned)

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

      How are you set up for 28 if you transfer Phillips out?

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

        Jaku
        Valencia Coleman Brunt
        Mane Siggy Cout Sterling Philips*
        Ibra Kun

        Subs: Baines Yoshida Barnes*

        0 FTs 1.3 ITB

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

        also have heaton

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

          I'd start Phillips and pray

    3. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd play Phillips with Yoshida 1st sub

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

        maybe your right. just got sneaky suspicion that Baines is due a Pen

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

    Already taken a hit to get Aguero in for Kane.

    Are either of these worth -4?

    a) Alli to Sterling (-4)

    b) Friend to Stones (-4)

    thanks

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

      maybe a
      def not b

    2. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth it for a defender, even on a dgw.

    3. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I've done the same and also done A

  12. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton
    Pieters Alonso Brunt
    Allen Alli Mane Phillips
    Aguero Kane Lukaku
    Pickford Baines Snoddy Ake
    0.9 in the bank 1 FT
    A) Save transfer for next week
    B) Alli to Sterling
    C) Ake to Stones(bench an unsure Phillips)

    1. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B. I would also make snoddy 1st sub

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

      B) Alli to Sterling

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        The logical person in me is screaming out that Alli + Stones for this week is a better option than Sterling + Snoddy/Phillips/Baines.. however the punt side of me is aching for an attacking city mid ie sterling 🙂

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

          Yep, the upside is much greater 🙂

  13. George James
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    The highest points scorer this week is going to be Jon Walters isn't it....

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

      Grant. 2x CS and pen save off Kun

    2. George James
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Oh no please dont say that. My jammy ML rival has Grant.

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

    Currently I have Phillips Diomande Amat on bench, probably 0 points. Already on -4.
    A) Phillips->Sane-4 (bench Coleman or McAuley)
    B) Just play both Coleman and McAuley, no extra hit.

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

      A

    2. Mr Q
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      À, bench coleman

  15. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Start which one:

    A. Philips (CPL)
    B. Capoue (SOT)
    C. Robertson (hul)
    D. Yoshida (wat)

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

      Yoshida

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No 😛

    2. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Robertson might not score against himself

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Oh yeah... Robertson (lei)

        1. John t penguin
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          not easy choice
          could you take hit for yoshida to stones

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Was thinking that, but probably won't. Will just play Philips, Capoue first sub, I think....

    3. _Make
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I think so.....Capoue first sub?

        Cheers arrows...

    4. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Phillips

    5. BigManBakar

    6. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers all....

    1. John t penguin

      maybe daniels to stones and play him

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

        Not inclined cause daniels has a game next gw. Cheers

    2. El-Kloppico

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

        I m not 100 per cent either... but can we anticipate a better game week to do it?

        1. nevins84
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Possible Sanchez dgw is making me think twice

    6. AZERTY
      • 9 Years

  21. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    For GW28 is this fairly acceptable for free:

    Foster/Heaton
    Baines - McAuley - Robertson - Fernandez
    Firmino - Snodgrass - Philips
    Lukaku

    9 players....

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

    Why is KDB seen as a terrible FPL option?

    I get that he's very expensive but he's explosive, unlikely to be rotated, on set pieces and it's only as a 1 week punt really.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      For me, it's purely cost....just can't afford him.

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

      I got him in. He will make way again next week, but for this week, for someone chasing points I see him as a really nice differential.

    3. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      its the expensive bit that rules him out for me. cant find that money

    4. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pricing I imagine.

      In fairness, it's very hard to justify spending 2.6 million extra on him over Sterling when he only has 6 points more than Raheem. Not to mention Sterling having scored more goals than him too.

  23. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone going for Crouch TC?? So tempting

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

      Tempt yourself out of it imo.

  24. MartialMatas
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I've asked before, but keep getting mixed responses
    States Coleman or Rondon?

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

      I own Coleman but I'd go with Rondon
