Whether it’s Pep’s rotation, Jonty’s runaway facial hair or a rogue horse in Andy’s front garden, the ScoutCast crew are decidedly spooked in this week’s Halloween episode.

Downed by a bout of Labyrinthitis – which is as nasty as it sounds – I’m forced to duck out as Jonty, Andy, Granville and Az run riot.

Your community questions help to keep them in check, forcing the quartet to once again assess City rotation, while giving views on Chelsea’s big-hitters, a Foxes revival and a slew of budget defenders.

Jonty rolls out his “ghouls imminent” table, while Andy unknowingly mocks my affliction from afar with back-to-back ear puns; in between they preview the weekend’s action to reveal their captain and transfer picks.

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.

    Anybody fancy TC Kane???

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

      Go for it

    2. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      It could work but I'm still brainwashed into waiting for double gameweeks to use a triple (c)

    3. AnfieldLad
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No. Spurs still haven't really proved themselves against defensive sides at Wembley. + Wait for double gameweek as always

    4. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Worth a punt. Hardly any are doing it

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        no, no it's not.

    5. Live Lad

      No way

    8 years, 4 months ago

    Hi all need some objective thinking
    My team is
    Elliot
    Naughton - Alonso - Davies - Jones
    Salah - sterling - Choupa Moting
    Aguero - Kane (c) - Morata
    Krul - Carroll - RLC - Hunemeiyer
    1ft 0.0 itb

    Plan was to save a transfer for international break. Of which to bring in lukaku but for which striker?
    Also,
    A. Stick with the plan to save
    B. Make a transfer (please suggest)
    Cheers

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Save

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        But I have alonso and I will get rid of him next week.
        Rubbish pick. Certainly the worst decision for me this season

        1. That Fantasy Guy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Hasn't paid off as I thought it would at all. Bow that there are decent mids at the 7 price it makes sense to move him on now. Will most likely be the 2nd of my saved transfers to use next week. Looking at Daniels. Just keeping an eye on Davies for now. Cheers for the thoughts

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Why would you bring in Kaku v Chelsea? Just save and being him in for Kun or Morata after the deadline.

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yes the lukaku transfer was not for this week.. cheers appreciate the thoughts. Battling on who to drop of the front 3 for him.

        1. Over Midwicket
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Morata. Is looking awful. Get him back in if he looks like scoring around GW14.

          1. That Fantasy Guy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years

  3. Siva Mohan

    busy week and being a lazy a** .. short of 0.1 for Morata >> Kane

    Fabianski
    Otamendi | Davies | Jones
    Salah | Alli | Silva | Atsu
    Abraham | Morata | Jesus
    Elliot | Mee | Bellerín | King

    1 FT & 2.4 ITB

    A. Morata + King >> Kane + 4.3mid (-4)
    B. Morata + Bellerin >> Kane + Moreno (-4)
    C. Jesus >> Kane

    Please suggest, thanks.

    @JAYV807 good suggestion .. added as C

      If you are dead set on getting kane this week, this is a tough one but seeing as you are benching bellerin, then B

  4. Over Midwicket

    8 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on who to play this weekend?

    A) Moreno (whu)
    B) Kiko Femínia (eve)

    Pool have the worst away defence in the league. Obviously chance of attacking returns and could see the game being 2-2 or something, although West Ham are awful.

    Watford have a terrible defence of late but again, chance of attacking returns. Everton are also the worst team in the league.

    Thoughts? Thanks all. Leaning toward Bertie M.

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Moreno

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Moreno

    3. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      A

    4. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yep, my thoughts exactly. Thanks everyone.

    5. Sune
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Moreno by miles.

  5. rohan
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    One week punt- Eriksen, Alli or Son? Already got Kane and Davies

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Alli

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Alli without a doubt
      Eriksen is off the boil and playing the KDB role
      Son isn't nailed on

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Eriksen off the boil...Alli has one good game. Some people so easily swayed

    3. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Alli

    4. Sune
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Alli

  6. wowBOBwow
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Abraham + Alonso

    or

    Vardy + Daniels

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Abraham + luiz and save money

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        But for next 3 matches I chose daniels

    2. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Abraham + Daniels

        (Speroni. Gross. Mbemba. Marriapa )

          Yeah you good

  8. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Can anyone explain what's up with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting? Plays 90 every game but simply never gets FPL points despite good fixtures and apparently playing OOP? His stats aren't even that bad.

    Definitely getting rid, such a bad punt.

    1. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'm holding for now as have other fires to deal with. Has been disappointing but the stats are there.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Last week in my team probably 😛

    3. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He just played as CF for one match. After that diuof played that role

    4. Brap.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Neck and neck with Eden Hazard in the captaincy poll

    5. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I think it is the team he plays. They are just not creating much.

    6. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He has picked up a couple of assists in his last 4 games. If his stats are not bad either then I suggest a little more patience, there's not going to be much else for that price range.

      Although I am interested in a switch to Demari Gray if gets another start under Puel. WIth RLC becoming regular again there's also the TC rotation option coming back into play

    7. lugs
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      playing for Stoke is the problem , in each of the last 2 seasons they only scored 41 goals , they are well on course to matching that again this season with 11 goals after 10 games 🙂

  9. Kanteisking
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Hey all am I good to go this week

    Fabianski
    Otamendi, Jones, Ward
    Alli, Salah, Richarlison, Sane
    Tammy, Lukaku, Kane (C)

    thanks all

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Of course

  10. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Is Jagielka nailed?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Not really. No one knows here. But don't do that. We don't know new lineup with koman being sacked and also everton has been awful

    2. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No, or it depends how bad is Keane's injury. Williams , Keane has been 2 starting CB's.

  11. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Gross (swa) or Choupo-Moting (LEI)?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I would go with moting

    2. Sune
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Gross

  12. Kane of Thrones
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Jesus to start this week?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I think kun, jesus, sterling will start and sane to be benched

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        hm...im thinking aguero or silva will be benched, because sane and sterling plays very classy this year

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Silva rested for UCL match

    2. Kane of Thrones
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      thanks guys. Cheers!

  14. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez -> Eriksen for free

    yay or nay?

    been told not to take Sanchez out just yet but now seems the best time when looking at fixtures, especially when I'd be putting Eriksen in

    1. Kanteisking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen or Alli - I would

    2. Kavorka
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      yes

    3. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      GOD yes

  15. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Which one is better for this week only?

    A Jagielka & Wimmer
    B Gomez & Lascelles
    C Klavan & Cedric
    D Moreno & Hegazi/Ward

    1. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      b or c

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Moreno lascelles?

    3. Scotty B
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Already have Elliot in goal so Lascelles would be Newcastle defence double up

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        then c with moreno or gomez, not clavan

    4. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      c - w/ Moreno

  16. Werkself
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I would absolutely do it - but for Alli, who is really coming into top form. I'd also do it for Eriksen.

    1. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Reply fail to ANFIELDLAD

    2. AnfieldLad
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah Alli was great against Madrid, should of had a hat-trick, but I feel like he hasn't been that great this season. And that Eriksen is much more consistent. On Eriksen atm but may change my mind. Cheers.

      1. bigbudgie
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Eriksen consistent and pure class, Alli explosive and a form player. Alli has been great *until now. When he hits form you want him in your team. I think that's 4 goals in his last 3 matches no?

        1. bigbudgie
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          I meant Alli hasn't been great until now

  17. Zlat-man
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    A q about draft
    Would you bring in Milner for any of
    Baives or D Sanchez?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No

  18. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Seriously contemplating a -8 over the IB..

    Jesus, Choupo, Kiko, Mbemba

    to

    Lukaku(c), Richarlison, Jones, Daniels

    Salivating at the prospect..

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      -8 is too much
      Just get daniels lukaku and jones
      Moting to richarlison for -4 is nonsense

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah true, considering I'll probably play 4 at the back GW12 anyways.

        Just the hit then.

    2. Kane of Thrones
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Lukaku (C) is a mistake imo

    3. Jayv807
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'd do it as a good chance you break even. Then you can use future transfers for other things.

  19. Kane of Thrones
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Jesus > TAbraham a good choice?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      If you have other players to upgrade in next coming weeks, do it

  20. cescpistols1
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Play Elliot or Fabianski?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Fab

  21. Alonso The Great Midfielder
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Would injury of toby and lloris effect tottenham D?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      It will surely have but can't see them losing CS againts palace

  22. D_R_S_PORT_S
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Lukaku (che A)
    Carroll (BHA H)
    Gross (swa A)

    Play any two!!!

    1. Kane of Thrones
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Bench Carroll obviously

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Seriuosly?

      1. Jayv807
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        This

    3. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

  23. Jebiga

    who to play chouopo or richarlison ?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Moting for me

    2. Jayv807
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Richarlison is better away so far and at Everton

  24. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    A. Morata + 4 vs MANU
    B. Jesus vs ARS

    choose one for this GW, thanks.

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      +4 lol
      A

    2. Werkself

    3. Gaz_b

      I’ve got them both this week, I think Jesus will start

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        he will.. have to take out one for Kane..

  26. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    yes! Daniels drops to 4.8, lovely little transfer next week

    1. maratus
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Is Daniels worth the extra 0.4m over Francis?
      Bournemouth has been awful and i would not bank on Daniels attacking returns, while the team does not even score goals.. Definately not worth 4.8m eventho the fixtures are good.

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        well this will be a good gw to monitor but i’m pretty happy, last week he was playing left wing let alone wing back. that makes the difference

          Actually Bournemouth was playing with 5 defenders against Chealsea, but you can also claim that Daniels was attacking, right?

    1) morata and choupo
    2) abraham and hazard

    Who'll score more over the next few gws?
    Or avoid chelsea till Liverpool fixture is done.

    Messi + Lukaku to Aguero and Kane in CL game (for free)? Maxed out on PSG

    Aguero has Feyenord at home and Shakatar away, Kane has Dortmund away and APOEL at home

    Messi has Juventus away and Sporting at home, Lukaku Basel away and Moscow at home.

    1. Yoshida >> Vertonghen
    2. Lukaku >> Aguero

    2. Emiliano Sala

      Yoshida may not play
      So 1

      Considering 1 is in the most uninspiring punt I've ever seen... 2.

        Last week hoedt and vvd started and also tottenham has most chance of CS this week

          He just might have 4 other defenders that he can start. Just might...

            • 9 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            I think tottenham has more chance of cs than utd scoring and the player scoring to be lukaku

                They won real with 3 goals when toby was out
                Gk will not face too much chances and palace is in poor form

      Lloris is injured. Makes a difference to spurs' ckean sheet chances
