The ScoutCast – Episode 219 – Evicted

Expelled and evicted from the Scout Hut, the show must go on as I host this week’s Cast from the in-laws, their best china providing the backdrop to our Fantasy Football chatterings.

While building work gets underway back home, we consider the reconstruction required on our line-ups ahead of Gameweek 30 following the cruel injury to Seamus Coleman.

Assessment of the likely replacements dominates the opening section, before we embark on another round of community questions, as we scan Manchester United’s packed schedule, flirt with Leicester City assets and vote on when to move for Alexis Sanchez.

Transfer hits also bookend this episode, as we begin the show with a conservative approach to the weekend, only to end with talk of eight points aplenty.

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

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

    Any suggestions?

      Brunt out for e.g. Ben Davies

        Or (seeing you already have Walker) perhaps Cedric.

      Dont think doubling up on spurs defenders is a bad idea! Great run of fixtures as long as u dont fancy alli and u have wc

    Coleman -94.5% on FFFix, -101.2% on fplstats. Should I just hope he doesn't fall?

    1. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      You could do but chances are he will

      1. BadgersBoys
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He'll drop tonight.

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

      He probably will but if you still haven't decided and who to replace him with it'll be best to wait

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Haven't bothered with FPL all week so got no idea who are the front runners. Feeling like a casual. Someone just mentioned Rose might not be back until end of April so that throws Davies' name in the hat.

        1. CloudSky
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He should fall. Many replacements. Anything from Spurs (Davies currently the favourite if you still have WC) and Valencia are the clear go-tos. Then you have Bertrand, Fuchs, Gibson...pick your poison.

    Hi guys

    Any obvious changes required? Currently on a -4

    Pickford - (jaku)
    Azpi - valencia - bertrand - (fabio) - (love)
    Alli - eriksen - mane - siggy - (carroll)
    Aguero - lukaku - vardy

    Thanks!

    1. Darth_Newdar

      Looks good to me. Great attack for this week.

    2. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years

      Nope good to go. If Spurs do well you're in for a good week

    How long do I have to make up 3 pages of comments so I qualify for that frequent posters cup? 😉

    It's the only hope I have of qualifying for a cup around here....

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years

      Deadline is tomorrow night if I remember correctly.

    2. Netley Lucas

      27 pages? That's enough, only need 15.

      1. Viper

        I want to have 2 entries 😉

        Apparently I'm well over the required amount 😆

      How do I apply for that?

      1. Viper

        Previous page has details I believe

        1. Magic Bean

          Cheers

    5. BadgersBoys

      If someone would be so kind to nominate me, it would be very much appreciated. Haven't had the chance to be around here that much lately.

  5. Darth_Newdar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this set of transfers for -8? Might not work out, but has high potential I think. Needs to be done before Coleman falls this evening.

    Coleman --> Stephens / Britos [still need to decide]
    Antonio --> Sánchez
    Aguero --> Vardy

    Heaton, Pickford
    Alonso, *Coleman, Baines, McAuley, Amat
    Mané, Alli, Coutinho, *Antonio, Carroll
    *Aguero, Lukaku, Llorente

    Has there been any analysis on how Davies compares to Walker/Rose when playing? Obviously very cheap but how does his attacking stats compare.

    A link would be great if the has been any analysis.

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ben Davies has bettered Kyle Walker for chances created & successful crosses over the last 6 Gameweeks

      The Scout: https://t.co/1VtANwXKe5 https://t.co/esDx45P3jN

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. Appreciate that.

      2. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Poch saying that Rose is behind Kane in recovering. Surely Rose it out for at least the next 4-5 gameweeks if not more.

        1. CloudSky
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Agreed.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Go to Members - Comparisons.

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

      Buying Davies is a bit like buying crap wine.

      It's grand if you have no taste buds.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not true. He's creating chances like a chance creating machine.

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I had him at Swansea when he was a proper option.

      2. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        But he's a that Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc reduced to £5.99. I'm having it.

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          This is clearly Toby A misdirection for a lurking TM.

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

        The thing is I genuinely have plenty of money for either and don't need the money for upgrades else where as it stands but Davies seems to be a good pick, Rose aside.

    4. Flying Nugget
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      4.8 mill for an attacking Spurs full back. Yes please

    5. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I think he has considerable rotation risk.

      I suggest Vertonghen who is just .7 higher (5.5) and will have more assured starts.

  7. nkhoughton
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is there a stand out captain choice? These are my better players

    Alexis
    Costa
    Kun
    Alonso
    Siggy
    Firmino or Coutiniho

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No stand out choice. Sánchez the safest bet for some kind of attacking return, however probably not explosive since he is playing City.

      1. nkhoughton
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Both will go for it I.e no team will park the bus with them could be high scoring

        1. Darth_Newdar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          You could be right, honestly I have no idea what will happen in that game.

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Costa Alexis

    3. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Fingers crossed Costa

      1. nkhoughton
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Costa is a player I think will perform but not explosive I think it's a week to captain someone else

        1. Magic Bean
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Well Costa is never explosive. I'll be happy with an 8 pointer from my captain. Others too risky unless you're trying to catch up

    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    This place needs a breadbin-lite

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Stupid post

        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        you're right, I'll stop.

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          😀

  8. michudagawd
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Heaton Randolph
    Alonso Valencia Coleman PVA Yoshida
    Mané Alli Sterling Siggy Antonio
    Lukaku Ibra Barnes

    1 FT, 0.7 itb

    Any suggestions on what I should do? Have a few ideas but nothing really clear-cut. Coleman and Antonio need to go obviously.

    Thanks in advance.

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Coleman Antonio>Bertrand Pedro/Ayew

      1. michudagawd
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Already have Yoshi though so wouldn't really be keen on doubling on Saints defence especially with no Van Dijk. I also think Pedro will be rotated for a few games in the near future.

  9. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Cheeky King captaincy?

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Might as well with no clear choice this week. Not for me though.

    2. nkhoughton
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ballsy but I think there is a better choice

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

      Starting him for sure. Armband is too gutsy for me, though.

      1. nkhoughton
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Who are you gonna go for?

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Will probably go Mane but still considering things, I've had the captaincy on about 5 players over the 2 week period! That sort of gameweek.

    4. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If you need a differential. Bournemouth tend to be better at home.

    5. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm benching as it stands

    6. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Only you can put the balls up on the chopping block.

      The question is: will ye punk?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Lol, probably at this rate but who knows? I may go for it given the lack of a standout option.

  10. Nerazzuro
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Actually stumped as to what to do with the below. 1FT 1.9ITB

    Foster - Jaku
    Baines - Holebas - Funes Mori* - Alonso - Amat
    King - Alexis - Coutinho - Mane - Siggy
    Rondon - Gabby* - Lukaku

    Defence is an absolute mess so may play AOA chip this GW.

  11. Viper
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I'm currently benching King. Where could I squeeze him in?

    Coutinho Mane Siggy Sanchez

    Lukaku Llorente Defoe

    1. bring_on _the_fantasy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Coutinho isn't great, two Liverpool - overkill

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        If I wasn't going to play Cout, I'd probably just sell for Alli

        Cout is one of me main differentials (a bloody awful one at that)

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Play him instead of Defoe maybe?

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Defoe s penalties are important though.

        I might play instead of Llorente

  12. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    What is the best option here, guys?

    A) Ali for a -8 this GW.
    B) Ali for a -4 next GW.

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Alli will be for a - 4 no matter when you do it 😉

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Your pages of comments is creeping up 😉

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

      Depends on the transfers.

      1. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, you can stomach a hit failing if the player doesn't return but if the player you would have played comes in with points, it's very painful.

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

      Needs more context... it depends who you'd be playing him instead of this week. (-4) has the same value regardless of which GW you take it in come the end of the season.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Gray and DeRoon > Gestede and Ali.

        Just depends if I phase it in across 2 GWs.

        1. Lawrø
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          But who would you be playing instead of Alli this week? 😆

          Surely not de Roon. If so I'd pull the trigger on both transfers now. Both Rudy G and Alli have better fixtures this week and if you're going to make the transfers anyway you might as well claim the advantage now

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Ha, sorry, Ali would replace Gray. Sounds like a no brainier when I say it out loud!

    4. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      All depends who you're replacing and bringing in

  13. bring_on _the_fantasy
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Current team - 2ft - looks like Coleman will drop tonight

    Pickford
    Coleman alonso pieters
    Sanchez King mane siggy (coqulin)
    Lorente Costa kuku

    Any ideas?
    Leading mini league by 8pts - most in top 7 have walker, alli/erkison

    A) coleman, siggy > walker, alli
    B) coleman, coqulin > bavies, erikson - play AOA

    1. bring_on _the_fantasy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Jon of them have siggy so not overly fussed on letting him go

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        *none

    2. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Coleman to Spurs and save the other. Sigy a better pick than Alli this week and B will be bench headache every week.

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        If alli scores big though I'm going to get the 5 behind me making up ground?

        1. CloudSky
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Burnley away is a tough fixture for anyone to score big. And if Sigy scores big youre even further ahead.

          1. bring_on _the_fantasy
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            True, what about lorente to vardy? Don't fancy 2 Swansea players, their form seems to have dipped recently

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

    Feels so good to transfer Baines out for the second time this season, he's been nothing but a disappointment for me

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

      He got me once this season, that was enough.

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

        Not sure how/why I went back there, he was more expensive that Coleman at the time as well 🙁

    2. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Looked tonight, one attatking return in nine. His light has faded. Surprised he's picked up so much Coleman traffic.

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

        Needless to say I didn't own him in that game. He's a shadow of his former fantasy self

      2. Donhush
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Mark, would you do Baines or Brunt > Davies for a hit?

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

      You won't be saying that when Matip goes sliding into Lukaka In the box

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It's like i took a shower using that tea tree oil shower gel.

      After the transfer i had that minty fresh tingle.

    5. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I've had him since GW22, four clean sheets in eight matches isn't too bad. But I agree that in terms of attacking returns he's no longer much of a prospect. A shame Everton haven't had a penalty during that period.

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        colemans been getting ball so far up that baines has been round on the cover more, plus hes an old dog now.

    6. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If they ever do get another pen it would be heartbreaking if Kaku just grabbed it and took it, and it wouldn't surprise me at all.

      1. liiusions

        I honestly think now Lukaku's on the Golden Boot he'll be taking them now

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He only cares about himself now, he's criticised EVE in public for not being ambitious, he's not signing a new contract, he'll be gone next season, golden boot te boot... poor Baines better be near the ball to grab it 😆

  15. Congers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Holebas - Davies (-4)

    Worth it?

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

      Only if you have 2 playing defenders.

  16. Totti
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    is it madness to get vardy instead of lukaku (for -8) and captin him ??

    1. Congers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      The -8 makes it sound bad

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        already have to do -4 for crouch and coleman should get rid of them

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not worth -8.Lukaku on form.

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        and vardy too 🙂 vardy might explode
        also i don't kniw who to captin?

  17. jurgenklopp.8

    7 years, 2 months ago

    Klopp has a 33% win percentage in the early-kick offs... wonder why...
    Kick off times shouldn't really have an effect but always feels different.

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

      Opponents might be a factor too.

      1. Lawrø
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Also sample size. How many early kick offs has he had? 😆

        33% suggests probably a multiple of three and it will be small so it's almost certainly three. So Klopp has won 1/3 out of his early kick offs is clearly less impressive.

        1. jurgenklopp.8
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          it's 15. he's won 5 from 15.

          1. Lawrø
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            15, I'd speculate that it includes his time before Liverpool or early kick-offs on Sunday too. Still 15 is not large.

            1. jurgenklopp.8
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              no it's not. just found it interesting! still, i do always feel early kick offs could go anywhere - not based on any facts tho!

            2. Lawrø
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Having a look at the schedule it's probably the latter. Although maybe still a bit short, I wonder if they include 7:45pm kick offs instead of 8pm and games played when there is only one game as early kick offs too...

              1. jurgenklopp.8
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                oh maybe they did. like you said, too small a sample size to be really significant.

        2. jurgenklopp.8
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          i read it in the echo earlier, found it interesting...

    2. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      TV games will be tougher fixtures

      1. jurgenklopp.8
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        probably the reason.

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

      Klopp is deemed as sexy by the media.

      He's worked that one well.

      1. jurgenklopp.8
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        he has that's for sure!

      2. Hooky
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He looks like Mr Burns​ from the Simpsons

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Aye.

          But he punches the air and stuff.

          Doesn't matter if he can't spot a keeper or a defender from ten paces.

  18. Rhinos
    • 10 Years

    Gone off Niasse, didn't realise how few mins Hernandez played for his country

  19. bring_on _the_fantasy
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Would this AOA be worth is this gw?

    Pickford
    Bavies alonso
    Sanchez King mane siggy erikson
    Lorente Costa kuku

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      What defenders are you benching?

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Pieters Amat and Lehman

        1. Viper
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah I'd play it then

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes.

  20. Viper
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    A. Coutinho - > Alli - 4

    B. Play Coutinho. Bench King

    C. Play King. Bench Coutinho

    1. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Very tough, but C

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B or C (your choice), but not A in my opinion.

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

      Can you next bench another player?

      1. Congers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not*

      2. Viper
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Llorente or Defoe the only real candidates

        1. Congers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          B

    4. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B

    5. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Based on recent output, I'd go King. Soton aren't the same defensively and if Cáceres debuts, he might struggle with King and Afobe.

    6. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks all

  21. Mr Wizard
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Need some advice.

    Looking to replace Coleman before the drop tonight. (6.1 to spend)

    Im looking at Valencia, Davies(already have Walker so would be doubling up) or Bertrand.

    Cheers!

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Valencia if you're happy with money for Sánchez/Ibra in the next few weeks.

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Valencia

    3. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't get Davies as you'll want Kane and a Spuds mid to go with Walker

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I agree with Hooky, double Spurs defence is too much due to the quality on offer elsewhere in attack. Valencia or maybe a punt on Fuchs...

    4. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Valencia

    5. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I've brought in Valencia

    6. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Valencia out of those. How about a Boro defender?

    7. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      personally i went bertrand just due to nagging doubts on valencia with jose maybe resting him in the easier games with the fixture overload. plus needed cash for sanchez too

    8. Mr Wizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks for the advice. Think I may go for Valencia. Already have Sanchez.

      Good point on having to ship out a spurs player to fit Kane in when he returns.

  22. Flying Nugget

    up against the reigning champion in the cup. 'Manager with no name' a regular poster here does anyone know?

    1. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Saw that and shouted it out in the article today. Tough draw for him.

      He's definitely about, not sure on his posting frequency.

      1. Flying Nugget
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        appreciated that a lot, thank you. Have had a few mentions in the articles over the years. It has never mounted to much though, haha. Great site this, love it. Well done

        cool

  23. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Need to go for a differential in my ML this week and give them the arm band ideally, chasing 75 points and time is running out. Is choosing Deeney ahead of Vardy foolish ? Alt I could just play Llorente but rival has him and I'm sure they will stick this week. Keeping Llorente means a Mane captaincy for me, i know it shouldnt but that early Sat kick off is so off putting !

    1. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm going Mane too for what it's worth

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Same plus the fact mane never performs after IB

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Captain Llorente or deeney as a punt?

        1. TLF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Doesn't feel right giving Llorente the arm band, would rather opt for Siggy if i was going to choose a player in that fixture. As for Deeney, i can see it being a decent match for him....cheers 🙂

    3. Flying Nugget
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If I was going differential this weekend I would go for Mata. Good luck though

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah Mata is a great shout, have formulated a plan for my midfield though and he doesn't factor in it, Sanchez next week and Alli the week after. If I'm taking a punt this week it's on a striker.

  24. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Bench
    A king
    B Sterling
    C Llorente

    Don't ask me how I got into this mess

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      That is tough but I think I'd be inclined to bench King, however with no great confidence

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I know mate. Scary game week as I have no spurs either. Just want it to be over asap. Thanks for the response

    2. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't bench Llorente

    3. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Sterling ... why wait for Pep to bench him?

  25. Dazzler365
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Any advice on what to do with this lot?
    1ft and 1.0 ITB
    Pickford
    Alonso, Valencia, baines
    Coutinho, Alli, siggy, mane, hazard
    Carroll, lukaku

    Heaton, negredo, pieters, Robertson.

    All advice appreciated, Cheers

  26. Totally !rre!evant

    A) B. Davies

      A for sure.

      More than lightly

        heavily, in fact.
