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.

    Ditch which one?? Sterling or Silva?

    1. QuintonFortune25
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Silva but it’s tough

    2. Rik Waller
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Ditch Sterling

    3. @fpl_phenom
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Silva for me as Sterling is way more explosive.

    4. Jebiga
      9 years, 7 days ago

      sliva

    5. George Sillett
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Neither . Daft idea

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

      Sterling

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

      Depends who for?

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

    A) Moreno
    B) Duffy
    C) Simpson/Morgan
    D) Wimmer
    E) Max 4.6 def (not BUR, NEW or WAT)

    Who to buy? Leaning towards B because he's nailed and a CB so won't get rotated.

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Between Moreno and Duffy.I bought Gomez last week.Maybe Francis ?

  3. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Free hit team for this gw:

    Fabianski (BHA)

    Naughton (BHA), Trippier (CRY), Manquillo (BOU)

    Sane (ARS), Eriksen (CRY), Hazard (MUN), Sterling (ARS)

    Abraham (BHA), Kane(c)(CRY), Morata (MUN)

    Any changes needed ?

    1. Crystal Ball
      9 years, 7 days ago

      dont think i'd have both haz and morata, jose driving the bus down as we speak

      1. George Sillett
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Remember the league game last year ?

        1. Crystal Ball
          9 years, 7 days ago

          chelsea out of form though, united much more strong, i would be very surprised if chelsea scored more than 1

      2. lespaul
        9 years, 7 days ago

        This could end with 9 men . Trippier unlikely to play .Agrre with above . Bad week to use FH

    2. Jebiga
      9 years, 7 days ago

      save for dgw. it will be 2 dgw's...

  4. SuperMario
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Fabianski - Elliot
    Davies - Cedric - Luiz - Mee - WImmer
    Salah - Hazard - Richarlison - Chupo - RLC
    Vardy - Jesus - Lacazette

    1FT and 1.2 banked

    1. SuperMario
      9 years, 7 days ago

      How to get in Mr Kane?????

      1. @fpl_phenom
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Lacazette > Kane
        Luiz > Ward

  5. Fletcher Moss
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Hey folks, am I right to just save a transfer here? Would all but rule out an international break wildcard but not sure I’ll want to change enough anyway.

    £2.2m ITB. 1FT.

    Elliot(BOU)
    Davies(CRY) Jones(che) Ward(sou)
    Salah(whu) Sterling(ARS) Richarlison(eve) Groß(swa)
    Kane(CRY) Morata(MUN) Vardy(stk)

    Foster(hud) Dunk(swa), Carroll(BHA), Löwe(WBA)

  6. @fpl_phenom
    9 years, 7 days ago

    I think just 2 premium strikers and Abraham is the best combo going forward.

    Kane Lukaku Abraham from next week on.

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Why no Aguero?

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

      That was my GW1 front 3 up until last week. Did Lukaku to Aguero so lol @ me.

    3. SuperMario
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Considering this big time... Only typing is no Vardy

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

    Keep the hits coming everyone, I appreciate the free jump in the rankings 😉

    1. Deulofail
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I wish that's how it worked

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

        I'd be interested to see statistics on the success/failures of hits. I don't think the intently bad, but I think most are bad because people's decision making is bad.

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

          they are inherently*

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

          I calculated my hit profit last season and it was around 120pt gain

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

            If you say so

          2. Deulofail
            9 years, 7 days ago

            My transfer profit is around -86 points with one hit. I would have done better with no transfers or more hits.

            1. Deulofail
              9 years, 7 days ago

              Depends on the hit and on the universe providing for you. This season the universe seems to have been providing for more aggressive moves than normal, but I could just be bitter and misguided.

  8. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 7 days ago

    0 FT 0.3m itb... WCing next GW. Should I take a -4 for this?

    DDG
    Davies, Cedric, Lowe
    Sterling, Fabregas, Richarlison, Ritchie
    Kane, Aguero, Vardy

    Elliot, Carroll, Mee, Kola

    Was thinking Fabregas to a 1 week differential?

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

      From what?

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 7 days ago

        I'm not sure what you're asking.

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

      i wouldn't take a hit. If he won't play you have good bench to solve a problem

  9. Crystal Ball
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Hazard to Salah for -4? Worth it?

    1. SuperMario
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Jesus Hazard is a serious player to have for the next stretch

    2. F4L
      9 years, 7 days ago

      no way

    3. Rik Waller
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Nah

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

      no

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

      After last week you want to sell Hazard now???

    6. George Sillett
      9 years, 7 days ago

      You've asked this once already and got replies

      1. Crystal Ball
        9 years, 7 days ago

        relax mate

        1. George Sillett
          9 years, 7 days ago

          I am totally relaxed mate but can't understand why you need to keep repeating yourself.

          1. Crystal Ball
            9 years, 7 days ago

            initial post was bottom on the previous page, quite normal really

    7. Crystal Ball
      9 years, 7 days ago

      needed that sense check, cheers all

  10. Rik Waller
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Cedric to:
    A) Moreno
    B) Daniels
    C) other?

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

      Daniels

  11. Kane Train
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Could someone please explain how the free hit chip works?

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

      You play it and you get a free hit

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

        Just kidding - make unlimited transfers for no cost, for that one week, then your team reverts to how it was previously, once the free hit gameweek is finished. Price changes act in accordance with your original team.

        1. Kane Train
          9 years, 7 days ago

          thanks mate

    2. England23
      9 years, 7 days ago

      It’s a one week wildcard and the next week your team goes back to what it was before you used the free hit, looks like it’s best to be used in BGW or DGW

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

    Kane price rise tonight?

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

      Yes

  13. Athletic Nasherbo
    9 years, 7 days ago

    How does Otamendi and Morata to Daniels and Kane -4 sound? Yeah only option I had...

  14. yanks250125
    9 years, 7 days ago

    pick 2:
    A- Groß (swa)
    B- Richarlison (eve)
    C- Atsu (BOU)
    D- Abraham

    1. F4L
      9 years, 7 days ago

      BD for sure

    2. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 7 days ago

      9 years, 7 days ago

      BD

  15. Gazpilicueta
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Any thoughts on this team?
    what would you change?

    Pope
    Otamendi, Azpilicueta, Daniels
    Sane, Salah, Ramsey, Richarlison
    Kane(c), Aguero, Abraham
    Elliot, Surman, Ward, Kiko Ferminia
    0.1 in the bankarooney

    let me know your thoughts!?

    1. FP El Wonky
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Waw that's a banging team.
      Can't fault it. Weakest link is probably Kiko and he's ok.

      Maybe Ramsey to Zaha if the latter decides to play well.

      1. Gazpilicueta
        9 years, 7 days ago

        thanks

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

    Which one to start?
    A) kola
    B) Duffy
    C) TC
    D) RLC

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

      Got to be the premium priced player surely

      A)

      assistance with my question below appreciated.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 7 days ago

      A and hope for attacking returns

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

    Feedback appreciated chaps (disclaimer. I am well aware either/both trippier/davies could be rested - here's hoping I have adequate bench coverage. If you feel I don't please feel free to offer advice on potential transfers).

    Forster
    Walker - Cedric - Trippier - Davies - Maguire
    Sane - Hazard
    Kane(c) - Vardy - Morata

    Bench: Elliot, Carroll, Surman, Carrick 1FT (0.3ITB).

    Potential transfer thoughts:
    A) Davies to Vertonghen
    B) Trippier to Daniels
    C) Trippier to Jones (considering I plan on getting jones next gw anyway)
    D) Save FT and go into the international break with 2FT

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

      D
      Save and hope trippier carries on from last night.
      I'd start Elliot too imo.

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

        Thank you sir will consider the Elliot start - may put a post about that

        Cheers

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

        My thoughts precisely, also considered the following move:

        Vardy+Carrick >> Tammy+Richarlison (-4)

        Thoughts on that move? I will admit I am hesitant as Vardy could punish me.

    2. jurgenklopp.8
      9 years, 7 days ago

      probably d

    3. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I'd be tempted to see how it goes this gw considering you have bench cover and go into the international break with 2 frees

      1. #FPLBhuna

    4. yanks250125
      9 years, 7 days ago

      A seems lateral at best. Vertonghen rarely gets attacking points and costs more
      B not good either as Daniels likely to drop in price and Bournemouth cant keep clean sheets
      C Jones likely to go up in price but Trippier might be worth the risk this week

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

        Leaving D as the best viable option?

        Also be interested in hearing your thoughts on Vardy+Carrick >> Tammy+Richarlison (-4)?

  18. jurgenklopp.8
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Elliot
    Stones - Cedric - Maguire - Daniels
    hazard - richarlison - sterling
    Jesus - Joselu - Firmino

    Pope - RLC- Wimmer - Coutinho

    coutinho, jesus, joselu > salah, kane, abraham for -8?

    1. Jebiga
      9 years, 7 days ago

      yup

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

      Sounds very decent that

      Assistance with my question above appreciated if poss

    3. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Makes sense

  19. adam28193
    9 years, 7 days ago

    sane or salah?

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

      Salah this one week

  20. Pedro's snacks
    9 years, 7 days ago

    1Ft before wild card, I want to bring in Kane to captain who would you take out?
    A Morata
    B Jesus
    C Lukaku (lose 0.1m as I will bring him back)

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

      C

  21. MattSmitty
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Drop Morata or Jesus to bring in Kane? Already have Sterling

    1. Gríma Wormtongue
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Jesus

    2. F4L
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Jesus

  22. abaalan
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Morata, Firmino or Jesus - > Kane?

    1. Gríma Wormtongue
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Firmino

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

      Jesus

    3. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Jesus

    4. km79
      9 years, 7 days ago

      One of the 2 who are not firmino
      Not sure what he has done to see his name coming up so often again.......is it because he MIGHT have penalties and they MIGHT get one and he MIGHT take it and MIGHT not miss it 😀

      1. Adams6
        9 years, 7 days ago

        I think that MIGHT be why!

  23. pedro-tacuara
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Jesus + Vardy > Kane + Abraham (-4). Yes or no? Afraid of going without Kane, plus he will rise tonight ...

    1. Gríma Wormtongue
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Yes but isn't there anyone else you could downgrade instead of Vardy? He'll probably score at the weekend

      1. pedro-tacuara
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Richarlison to a 4.5, or downgrade Hazard

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

      Y

  24. F4L
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Here it is:

    A - KDB and Hazard
    or
    B - Kane and Sterling?

    1. Sedemuda
      9 years, 7 days ago

      B

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

      Very tough one

      A (spurs fan - so absolutely no bias)

  25. km79
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Not sure if it's been pointed out already .........in the RMT section my team is showing up as the team I took a free hit for and not original team . Was about to use it to plan out transfers for few weeks. Annoying ......

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

      It's a pain but you can do it manually

      1. km79
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Yeah just said I'd point it out as a lot of people prob haven't used chip yet so FFS may not be aware of the issue
        Needs sorting

    2. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Has anyone tried using the RMT tool the week after taking the Free Hit?
      Does it then show the restored squad, or does it still show the free hit squad?
      That might possibly be another problem if it gets the squad by using the link from the latest game-week in the team's Season History.

  26. Corrine M
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Who do you think will take the next Pool pen?

    1. Sedemuda
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Sturridge

      1. km79
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Yeah just said I'd point it out as a lot of people prob haven't used chip yet so FFS may not be aware of the issue
        Needs sorting

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

      it will be back to Firmino or Coutinho when he is back

    3. F4L
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Firmino

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

      Mignolet

  27. Athletic Nasherbo
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Will Daniels drop in price?

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

      no way

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

    Vorm has a 92% bandwagon rating on fffix...guess his one owner has doubled to two

  29. BananaNose Maldonado
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Which two of these two would you play:

    A) Francis (new)
    B) Gomez (whu)
    C) Kiko Femenia (eve)
    D) Mee (sou)

    Currently on B and D.

    Cheers.

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

      I wouldn't play Francis.

  30. Old Wulfrunian

      Forster this week - then the fixtures shift so I'll be getting rid.
