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.

    1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I think Jones for bus parking reasons.

    2. AttackAttackAttack
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Mee

    3. boc610
      9 years, 7 days ago

      mee....united's form at stamford bridge over the years has been terrible

    4. J T
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Last time Utd came to the bridge they where 3-0 down by half time.

    5. IRBOX ⚽
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Don’t think United can contain Chelsea. Mee

    6. Matt Sk
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Mee

  2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Will Morata still start? Despite being in poor form & Batshuayi knocking on the door for a start

    1. Tshelby
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Morata will start for sure can't see Batshuayi starting in any PL game if Morata is fit

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Fair enough, thanks!

    2. Matt Sk
      9 years, 7 days ago

      No way Batshuayi will overtake him

  3. IRBOX ⚽
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Where’s Mesut to assist me with presser times?

  4. LD
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Cresswell >> to which budget defender?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Daniels

  5. ZakAFC_
    9 years, 7 days ago

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Kola, attacking threat

  6. dbeck
    9 years, 7 days ago

    1ft and 0.5 in the bank, 100% will save my ft for the ib. Who to start from this lot?

    Elliot
    Simpson, Luiz, Cedric
    Richarlison, Sane, Sterling, Salah
    Joselu, Kane, Morata

    Fab, Gross, Stones, Ward

    Any obvious swaps from the bench or re-order of the bench

    All just go balls out and bench boost?

  7. Tatty Bojangles
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Which 3 defenders to play from:

    Alonson Jones Mee Davies?

    Thanks

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Alonso Jones Davies. Mee may be an auto sub for Davies anyway

      1. Tatty Bojangles
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Thats what it currently is, thanks

  8. Weasel51
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Jesus+Hazard >> Kane+Sane (-4)

    Yay or Nay?

    Cheers

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Who would you captain before transfers?

      1. Weasel51
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Salah or Kun

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

      no chance not for a hit

    3. Assisting the assister
      9 years, 7 days ago

      No - Sane is rotation risk and Kane still some doubts

  9. Fernando Torres
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Bench one of
    A) Jones
    B) Naughton
    C) Lascelles
    D) Daniels

    First to 2

      9 years, 7 days ago

      BD

      1. arndff_
        9 years, 7 days ago

        He wants to bench one of these four.

    2. arndff_
      9 years, 7 days ago

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      9 years, 7 days ago

      D

  10. The Mandalorian
    9 years, 7 days ago

    It looks like Evra didn't kick that guy in the head, he missed which pretty much sums up his season.

  11. jimmy.floyd
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Stones to:
    A Verthonghen
    B Daniels
    C Azpi
    D Save

    Other defs: Jones, Ward, Duffy, Mbemba.

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Why getting rid?

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Save

  12. Sidekick_08
    9 years, 7 days ago

    A) Calvert-Lewin (WAT)
    B) Duffy (swa)

    Which one should I play?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      9 years, 7 days ago

      A

    2. Our Man Charlie
      9 years, 7 days ago

      would go with A

    who to play ?

    1 Zaha
    2 Groß

    Thanks

  14. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Is it madness to not start Morata? Feel it's got 0-0 written all over it & he's in poor form. I also own Jones. Whilst Atsu at Home to Bournemouth I feel he could get returns. Bit of a selection headache this week.

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Yeah, madness mate

  15. Woy_is_back
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Jesus owners, keeping or offloading?
    I feel that it will be many goals in the game. Just unsure if he starts.

    1. Sidekick_08
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Keeping him for this GW, then probably getting rid for Lukaku.

    2. Assisting the assister
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Keeping - must play most of the game as Aguero played most of the Napoli game.

  16. Sims
    9 years, 7 days ago

    A) Hemed > Abraham

    B) Morata > Kane (and play Kolasinac instead of hemed)

    C) Both for -4

    1. Live Lad
      9 years, 7 days ago

      B

    2. Ten Season Wonder
      9 years, 7 days ago

      B

  17. Salah Fingers
    9 years, 7 days ago

    If you activate the free hit chip can it be cancelled?

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Going by last season's chips, then I would say yes

      1. Sims
        9 years, 7 days ago

        nope

      2. THE Wild Rover
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Going by the rules I would say no

    2. Sims
      9 years, 7 days ago

      why dont u try it and let me

      1. Sims
        9 years, 7 days ago

        let me know*

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I would say no

    4. Live Lad
      9 years, 7 days ago

      No you cant

    5. Sims
      9 years, 7 days ago

      its in the rules

      it cant be cancelled

    6. Salah Fingers
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Thanks that's great, will post team shortly to get opinions on whether needed or not

  18. enrico.palazzo
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Have I got my team right?

    Elliot (fab)

    Alonso - otta - Mee
    Hazard - caroll - richarl - Silva
    Kane (c) - vardy - Jesus

    Simpson, RLC , fodder

    1 FT 0 ITB

  19. Ten Season Wonder
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Charlie Daniels nice little price drop last night.

    1. Woy_is_back
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Yup, saving a free transfer.

      Then doing

      Jesus-> Lukaku

      Vvd/Kola/Maguire -> Daniels

  20. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Now Daniels as finally dropped, Kolasinac to Daniels? Or anyone else I should be looking at. I’ve got 0.5 ITB.

    Elliot // Krul
    Jones - Otamendi - Kolasinac - Ward // Hunemeier
    Salah - Richarlison - Sane // TC - Chalobah
    Aguero(vc) - Kane(c) - Morata

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      9 years, 7 days ago

      See above comment.

      I too am looking at exact same transfer.

  21. Puyol Pants Up
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Was all set to do Coutinho --> Salah but Salah's price rise has put me off.

    Coutinho ----> Alli worth the punt? Have only Kane as spurs coverage.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Salah and Alli are both 9.3 no? Get Salah

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        9 years, 7 days ago

        This haha. They are both the same price lol

      2. Puyol Pants Up
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Yes, but my point is me missing his price rise is annoying and puts me off getting him because I could have saved 0.1 twelve hours ago haha.

        1. Sims
          9 years, 7 days ago

          really? not sure if serious. points over price obviously. get whoever u think will get more points....

        2. IRBOX ⚽
          9 years, 7 days ago

          Every 0.1 is annoying. But with you owning Kane and I assume Coutinho is your only Pool cover, you are better off with the Egyptian long term

        3. Deulofail
          9 years, 7 days ago

          Therefore Alli will score more points than Salah

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

          That should have no effect on your decision. Just choose who you think will get the most pts. Personally i'd go for Alli because Salah has the higher ownership so less potential to rise in price if he does well.

  22. jimmy.floyd
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Play one:
    A Yedlin
    B Duffy
    C Stones

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Hard one... but Duffy/Stones

  23. Big Al Stankovic
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Who to bench Jones (che), Moreno (whu), or Dunk (swa)?

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Moreno

  24. Bobby Digital
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Fabianski or Elliot? I'm planning on playing Lascelles, just wondering if I should double up on Newcastle.

    1. smix
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Have the exact same question . Going Fab & Lascelles

    2. Ten Season Wonder
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Go Fab. 50/50 best of both

  25. sergioaguero67
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Choose one:

    A) Trippier
    B) Davies
    C) Both
    D) None

    Please help

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      9 years, 7 days ago

      What’s the context here? Both may be benched

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

      I have both, but am conscious of rotation so have bench cover.

      Wouldn't be getting any in right now though.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Start both then imo

    3. Ten Season Wonder
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I see it this way... If they don't start for Spurs, then they are highly unlikely to come off the bench.

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        9 years, 7 days ago

        So I would start them. (but only if you have a good bench)

  26. smix
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Captaining Kane. Hopefully spurs win wasn't just the result of a Madrid team in poor form . They lost to Girona even last game !

  27. thom830g
    9 years, 7 days ago

    What to do here lads? Appreciate any comments.

    A) Jesus (1)/ Lukaku (2) -> Kane
    B) Kolasinac + Brady -> Trippier/Davies + Richarlison

    Forster (Elliot)
    Ward - Otamendi - Kolasinac - Jones - (Long)
    Salah - D. Silva - Atsu - (Brady, RLC)
    Kaku - Jesus - Firmino

    2,2 ITB, 1 FT.

  28. JasonG123
    9 years, 7 days ago

    GTG? 0.3m ITB (-4)

    Elliot
    Otamendi Jones Ward
    Hazard (vc) Salah Sterling Richarlison
    Kane (c) Kun Joselu

    Subs: Pope // Simpson Carroll Hunemeier

  29. Dobswell55
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Elliot
    Otamendi / Jones / Ward
    Eriksen / Sterling / Richarlison / Zaha
    Aguero / Kane (C) / Abraham

    De Gea / Carroll / Cresswell / Hunemeiner

    G2G?

  30. Sims
    9 years, 7 days ago

    they're so quick when it comes to a kane price rise but go awol when it's time to drop
