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.

    A: lacca and brady to abraham&eriksen for -4
    B: brady to doucore free
    cheers

    1. CloudSky
      9 years, 7 days ago

      A

      1. Gizzachance
        9 years, 7 days ago

        cheers

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      9 years, 7 days ago

      A and Alli for me but Eriksen obviously great (and in my team)

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        9 years, 7 days ago

        B is horrible by the way

        1. Gizzachance
          9 years, 7 days ago

          brady is terrible, doucore 4 goals, brady 2 assists
          think he will be better 4th cheap mid than brady

      2. Gizzachance
        9 years, 7 days ago

        cheers

    3. Jebiga
      9 years, 7 days ago

      A with ali or maybe salah

      1. Gizzachance
        9 years, 7 days ago

        have salah , erik seems to be more consistent in fpl so far, ali had good m/week game though, cheers

  2. Jebiga
    9 years, 7 days ago

    1. how long is lloris out ? is vorm good option until new year ?

    2. who to transfer in for coutinho: ali or salah ?

    1. CloudSky
      9 years, 7 days ago

      15 days I think. So no.

      Salah.

    2. Rainer
      9 years, 7 days ago

      1 - 15 days (French manager). No.
      2 - Salah.

    3. Jebiga
      9 years, 7 days ago

      thanks

  3. MGD
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Best defender for 4.9 and under?

    Already have Naughton...

    Worth to get rid of Kun + Davies for Kane and ____ for -4 this GW?

    1. CloudSky
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Daniels maybe.

      1. CloudSky
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Or Mee.

        1. MGD
          9 years, 7 days ago

          Moreno/Gomes?

    2. Jebiga
      9 years, 7 days ago

      moreno, fernandez, wimmer, daniels, yeldin, mee, simpson...

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      9 years, 7 days ago

      People will tell you Daniels but I think he's a red herring. Mee for me, or a LIV defender if you want to live dangerously.

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Consider Duffy

    5. MGD
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Thanks guys!

      And the transfer?

    6. Viper
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Keep an eye on Adam Smith. As pointed out to me on the last page he's only 4.8.

      Good fixtures and very attacking

    7. Js31
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Daniels, Ward, Mee

  4. Js31
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Can't belive I'm considering this but:

    Stones & Morata > Kane & Mee/Ward (-8)

    Wait till next week right?

    1. That Was Easy!
      9 years, 7 days ago

      It's not completely crazy, but it's not likely it'll pan out.

    2. HonestBlatter
      9 years, 7 days ago

      That is good

      1. Js31
        9 years, 7 days ago

        I am tempted tonight. Kane will rise tonight and Ward looks close too.

  5. That Was Easy!
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Please help me out here gentleman, I'm losing the plot. Injuries really tore my team apart and I'm left with this.

    Elliot
    Davies Jones Moreno
    Haz Sterling Ritchie Carroll
    Kane (C) Vardy Jesus

    Foster; Cresswell; Hunemeier, Chalobah

    0FT, 2.9ITB

    Any hits advisable?

    1. Kavorka
      9 years, 7 days ago

      gtg

  6. Dele
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Maguire > Jones?

    Prep myself for after the internationals and gain that sneaky 0.1 value tonight.

    1. FantasyFootballSprout
      9 years, 7 days ago

      If you don’t have Jones get him in fast. Amazing value for money. Although I’m unsure Maguire is the transfer with Puel in charge of Leicester now

  7. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Evening all, planning to save transfer this week, G2G? During the IB in selling Alonso to help fund Lukaku.

    Elliot
    Jones, Alonso, Davies
    Eriksen, Salah, Richarlison, Sterling
    Kane (C), Vardy, Joselu
    (Foster, Mbemba, RLC, Kolasinac)

  8. @fpl_phenom
    9 years, 7 days ago

    What’s people say thoughts on Jesus this week? Best case he starts out wide I think .... would you change him to Kun for a hit?

    1. That Was Easy!
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Absolutely I wouldn't change him. He'll start I think.

    2. Rainer
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Last week for me, hoping for a parting gift, however small. I wouldn't take the hit.

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I'm keeping this week, then probably out for Lukaku.

      1. The Big Fella
        9 years, 7 days ago

        This. I need to find the 1m though and for Lukaku to have a shocker this weekend so he drops

    4. Kavorka
      9 years, 7 days ago

      he will start wide

  9. F4L
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Alli or Morata?

    1. That Was Easy!
      9 years, 7 days ago

      how is it between those 2? I'd go Alli.

    2. Lazerball
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Alli

    3. FantasyFootballSprout
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Tough one. I don’t own either btw but I’d go Morata.

      Chelsea’s fixtures up to Christmas are scintillating.

  10. duffnasty
    9 years, 7 days ago

    so kane is definitely going up tonight, i thought when a flag is removed the player is protected from price changes is that not true anymore?

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Think it's only when they go from red to available, not red-yellow-available.

      1. FPL Puppy
        9 years, 7 days ago

        This

  11. Aubaaaaa
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Kane in now to get the 0.1 increase or wait till after press conference?

    1. That Was Easy!
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I'd wait if you can. .1 isn't worth it.

    2. Lazerball
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I just got him in fwiw

    3. @fpl_phenom
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I’d get him now , he’s fine like

    4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I would get him

  12. Lazerball
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Who to play this week from these 4

    Brady Mee Stones Carroll

    1. That Was Easy!
      9 years, 7 days ago

      How many of them?

    2. Lazerball
      9 years, 7 days ago

      One

    3. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 7 days ago

      1. mee
      2. stones
      3. brady
      4. carroll

  13. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Is Cresswell injured?

    1. That Was Easy!
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Might be back, I think we'll know more before the deadline.

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Should play at the weekend.

  14. Jebiga
    9 years, 7 days ago

    This gw im playing Morata and Ddg and Jones. Here is a hope for Morata hatty 😀

  15. MarkoSD
    9 years, 7 days ago

    c'mon guys, loris in injured, can it be so bad ddg to vorm?

    1. FPL Puppy
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Vorm is a very short term transfer, he will be on the bench probably when international break is over.

      Don’t waste your transfer. Play DDG.

  16. The White Pele
    9 years, 7 days ago

    play this weak :
    Mee (sou A)
    Stones (Ars H)

    1. That Was Easy!
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Stones for me.

  17. DA Minnion (Former great)
    9 years, 7 days ago

    A lot of hopes riding on Harry Kane this weekend.

    1. That Was Easy!
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Best striker in the PL against CPL. Makes sense.

      1. The Big Fella
        9 years, 7 days ago

        2nd best* Not that it matters as I have both anyway 😉

    2. HonestBlatter
      9 years, 7 days ago

      2 pointer ordered

    3. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 7 days ago

      It's the right play.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Yeah can't not do it no matter how it goes.

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          9 years, 7 days ago

          That's exactly it.

          Even if he gets 2pts it'll still have been the correct play if you get me.

  18. Pinky Blinders
    9 years, 7 days ago

    He who dares wins (he who doesn’t and keeps Lukaku also wins)

  19. Blue Moon Rising
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Has Yoshida lost his place for good?

    1. FantasyFootballSprout
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Probably. Hoedt, Van Dijk was always gonna be the pairing.

  20. Athletic Nasherbo
    9 years, 7 days ago

    A) Otamendi to Daniels -4
    B) Eriksen to Alli -4

    Which one? Has to be done to do Morata to Kane.

    Really appreciate comments!

    1. Jebiga
      9 years, 7 days ago

      b

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Oooh a split damn.

    3. FPL Puppy
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Wouldn’t get rid of either Ota or Eriksen. Can’t you sacrifice anyone else?

  21. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Davies to Jones tonight or swallow .1 m rise and get next week when have 2 free transfers?

    1. Jebiga
      9 years, 7 days ago

      do it

  22. alfast1c
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Jesus+Sterling > Kane+Richarlison for -4 ?

    1. Jebiga
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Sterling out ?
      Hes best scorer for City in PL...

      1. alfast1c
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Will he play ?

        1. Jebiga
          9 years, 7 days ago

          he must play, even if he plays 20 minites, he scores 🙂
          for me sane and sterling + choupo as 5th mid are season picks

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Tough one but yes

  23. DA Minnion (Former great)
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Fab or Elliot
    Kola Jones Moreno
    Salah Ritchie Gross Sterling
    Morata Kane Aguero

    Carroll Francis Mbemba

    Can I save my transfer to have two over the international break or do I need repairs.

    1. FPL Puppy
      9 years, 7 days ago

      No, you’re fine. Save transfer.
      Kane and Salah seems to be the most popular this week and you already have them (plus Aguero) 🙂

  24. Bobby
    9 years, 7 days ago

    I have Sanchez and no Man City midfield cover. Should I leave and hope for the best or transfer out?

  25. FPL Puppy
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Which two should I play?
    Simpson (stk)
    Duffy (swa)
    Ward (sou)

    1. Gríma Wormtongue

      Ward

    2. Viper

    Elliot

    Cedric Ward Naughton

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Andre Gray or Abraham?

    1. Viper
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Trust me, no one will say Gray

  29. Jebiga
    9 years, 7 days ago

    there is no way that salah rising tonight, right ? Hes on 73% on fffix

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 7 days ago

      fffix is rubbish for price changes.

      1. George Sillett
        9 years, 7 days ago

        He's on 100.4 on FPL stats so don't be surprised.

  30. HD7
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Hi Managers,

    Have to play one of Simpson or Kola? Which would you choose for the GW?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Simpson

      1. HD7
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Hope City doesnt make Kola go in the negative points then and get an assist or sth...
