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.

    How does this look (next week) with two Fts?

    Vardy & Ramsey - > Abraham & Hazard

    1. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      nice

  2. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    who to bench this week from

    Atsu Gros or Francis?

    Also play Elliott or Fabs

    1. Turns
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Francis. Play Fabs

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Francis

  3. Blue Moon Rising
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Moreno or Gomez - Who's more nailed?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Moreno the better prospect imo

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Think Gomez will play more games in EPL (Trent Arnold in UCL)...Moreno will miss a few games here and there but has more attacking potential

  4. Garth Marenghi
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Does Salah play better with Coutinho or worse with Coutinho?

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He's pretty good playing with himself.

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I don't know what the stats read but any attacker would benefit from Coutinho I'd imagine

    3. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Doesn’t seem to affect him much. Coutinho is obviously a quality player but I’m not sure Liverpool miss him too much when he’s not in the team. Certainly not as much as they miss Mané.

      1. liiusions
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        lol we miss him so much. Midfield of Milner Can and Hendo is just painful

        1. Football Weekender
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Wasn’t missed at the start of the season during the Barça speculation. In terms of actual results with and without Coutinho, there isn’t much of a drop off.

    4. Garth Marenghi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure if needs the service/or if he needs another star to create space?

  5. yanks250125
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    A) Aguero to Kane (already have 0.1 rise on Aguero)
    B) Vardy to Kane and downgrade somewhere else for -4 hit

  6. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Ritchie to Groß for Free transfer?
    A. Yaay
    B. Naah

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      B

    2. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No. Good fixture for Ritchie this week so not worth getting rid.

    3. MTPockets
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe. I'm waiting a week, just because BOU.

    4. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Hold for this week

    5. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      B

  7. Football Weekender
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Wildcard booked in for the international break.

    Stones & Trippier both currently priced at £5.6m but who’s the better pick after the IB?

    Stones has more assurance of starts but Trippier has more potential for big returns. City and Spurs seem equally as solid this season and their fixtures are fairly even too. Tough one.

    1. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Stones cause of starts.

      1. Football Weekender
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Leaning this way.

    2. FantasyFootballSprout
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I really like Trippier but I own Stones purely because I think there’s goals coming for him.

      1. Football Weekender
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed on Stones’ potential for goals. 3 in the Europe this season - hope he can bring that into the league.

  8. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Antonio->Mahrez/Pedro/Richarlison for -4 or should i play TC?

  9. Jebiga
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    which site you checking for price rises ?
    there is no way that Salah rising tonight, right ? Hes on 73% on fffix, but a lot of peoples here saying that he will rise tonight...

    1. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      FPL statistics has him as likely rising in price tonight.

    2. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      thanks

  10. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you sell for Kane ?

    A Morata
    B Vardy
    C Jesus

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Any of the above.

      B or C. Probably C

  11. SilverSpurs
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Azpi, Laca, Joselu -> Jones, Kane (c), Abraham for -4?

    As it stands my team is:

    Fabianski (Elliot)
    Azpi, Davies, Otamendi, Cedric (Ward)
    Richarlison, Hazard, Silva, (Choupo-Moting, Carroll)
    Joselu, Laca, Jesus

    2FT 2,3 itb

    1. cheese XL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    2. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Absolutely yes.

  12. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on Demarai Gray as a cheap differential? New manager seems to rate him highly and he looked quality the other day.

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah looks like he could be a great pick with gametime assured

    2. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      On the watchlist for sure!

  13. FantasyFootballSprout
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I love having a good squad but who the hell do I bench out of this lot.

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Azpilicueta, Ward, Stones, Maguire, Jones
    Groß, Salah, Richarlison, Sane, Loftus-Cheek
    Kane, Abraham, Kun

    Even the GK decision is hard but I’m happy I have backup if city assets don’t start.

    Help guys?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Elliot, Ward, Stones, RLC

    2. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Elliot RLC Ward Maguire

    3. MTPockets
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Fab, Stones/Maguire, Ward, RLC?

    4. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Elliott, Maguire, RLC, and one other defender

    5. @fpl_phenom
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Great squad! Fabianski Stones RLC anyway. Not sure after that

    6. FantasyFootballSprout
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks guys. It’s looking like Elliot, RLC, Ward and Stones/Maguire

    7. cheese XL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Bench Elliot, Ward, McGuire, RLC

  14. SuperDan
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Is Smalling nailed?

    1. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No. Jones & Bailly are the first choice pairing.

    2. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No chance

  15. Longlatini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Davies > Jones
    Jesus > Kane for a hit?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      yes

    2. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Can I ask what your transfer was?!

  16. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Eriksen to Alli -4 or Otamendi to Daniels -4. Need to do one so which one? I’m leaning towards the latter...

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen - > Alli makes no sense imo especially for a hit.

      Is this to fund Kane? Because neither really make sense on there own

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Correct.

  17. Jackson99
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Bench one:

    Moreno
    Jones
    Otamendi
    Dunk

    Thanks

    1. Viper

    2. lugs

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Dunk

  18. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    A) Lukaku -> Kane
    B) Morata -> Kane
    C) Vardy & Walker -> Kane & 5.1 or under (-4)

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      A

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Actually C. Lukaku has two great fixtures back to back

        1. The Wizard of Ozil
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah is fixtures are making it harder

  21. Old Wulfrunian

    Two more days Cedric, just hold your price for two more days please.

  23. FP El Wonky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on switching to a 352 and 442 type formation with capt Kane and Abraham upfront??

    Seems to be better value in midfield and defence this season.
    Currently on wc to this:

    DeGea,
    Otamendi, Jones, Trippier,
    Ramsey, Salah, Richarlison, Sane, Groß
    (K)ane, Morata
    Bench: Elliot, Ayew, Mee, Lowe
    Should I get Abraham over Morata?? And improve midfield??

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

      That midfield looks good now. Why change?

      1. FP El Wonky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I suppose I like the value of Abraham over morata.

        With the surplus money I could upgrade lets say Ramsey to another proven big hitter.

        Oh I dunno. Wildcard headache and all that.

  24. Pilgrim62
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Hemed to Abraham
    Hazard to Sane
    -4

    1. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      On paper it looks like the right move.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I sold Hazard to get Sane last week. It was potentially a mistake as Hazard does well against big teams. Sane might get a rest.

  25. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Same problem although I have Hazard too. Gone with Morata and DDG benched Jones. I think Chelsea will do Man U and DDG will get save points. I also think that Bournemouth will score against Newcastle

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years

      Reply fail to Wiseman

    2. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      thanks mate ! 🙂

  26. hnmfm
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Foster HUD (A) or Elliot BOU (H)? I feel like the wbu vs hud game will be a 0-0, but Newcastles defense looks good, so idk what to do? what do you guys think?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Elliot

    2. lugs
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      tough one , but i'd slightly favour Elliot to keep a clean sheet out of those two

  27. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Team OK to go for-4 (DSilva to Salah and Azpilicueta to Jones -4) or carry free transfer and have 2 next week?

    Elliot
    Cedric Jones Davies
    Salah Sterling Richarlison Choupo-Moting
    Kane (c) Lukaku Vardy

    Pope Fernández Ward RLC

  28. HD7
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    GW team, right order?

    Elliot
    Walker Jones Simpson
    Sterling Atsu Eriksen Tarroll
    Kaku Kane(C) Jesus

    Subs: Fabianski, Kola, Chalobah, Mbemba

    1. lugs
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      i'd play Kola ahead of Simpson , i don't think either will keep a clean sheet this week , but at least Kola offers a big attacking threat

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yes but City can make him in negative points if no assist or sth...

        1. lugs
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          yes but that.s assuming City are gonna hammer them , i mean they could , but City only have one win in the past 9 against Arsenal , and that was only 2-1 at the Ethiad last year , Arsenal are more than capable of springing a surprise imo

          1. HD7
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Kola it is

  29. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Is Kane worth the 2.1 mil over Hazard?

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      For what span of time

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        till Xmas

    2. FantasyFootballSprout
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Purely for the captaincy. Hazard points could come at any time.

    3. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      yep for a league top scorer on the end of the season

  30. Crystal Ball
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Hazard to Salah for -4? Yay or Nay

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yay

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No for sure. Look at Chelsea fixtures coming up. If you want Salah find another way nut bear in mind another Liverpool mid is back in 2 weeks fir much the same amount of cash.

      1. Crystal Ball
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        yeah i know, chelsea fixtures look good. Like haz but really want salah!

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I am waiting for Mane and will have Hazard too.
