In our continued quest to mirror the Fantasy Football season, this latest ScoutCast episode is missing a key player, but shuffles the pack and brings on stars from the bench.

Quivering from the midweek rotation, Jonty and Az begin proceedings before Granville is introduced to add his experience to the line-up. Then, late on, Andy arrives to shore things up and see the team through the final testing period. Me? I’m ruled out and left to watch from the stands.

The ever-changing line-up does a fine job contending with another round of community questions, as they assess the midfield template and consider goalkeeper recruits in the light of Rafa’s tinkerings. Then Granville rolls back to a classic ScoutCast question, lambasting United fan Andy for celebrating a City goal to ask which comes first, your football team or your Fantasy team?

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel earlier on Thursday. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      1 and 3

  7. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years

    Y only Alonso Christensen in watchlist and no azpi with players like Naughton also there

  8. Hobolicious
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Which budget strikers do you rate the most in the coming weeks (max 7.6m)?

    A) Benteke
    B) Wood
    C) Abraham
    D) Rooney
    E) Others. Who?

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Niasse

      1. Hobolicious
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Too much uncertainty with Allardyce in the gates for me, but understandable that people go that route.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Abraham

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

      Wilson?

      1. Hobolicious
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I would personally steer clear of him with my reasons being:

        1) Quite injury prone
        2) Soon has three tough fixtures in a row
        3) With Defoe back Bournemouth have quite a few options so I expect at least less minutes (if not some rotation)

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

          Yeah I just got him in because Niasse was banned to be honest. Hoping Austin keeps his spot then it's the obvious switch

    4. The real slim shady
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Gray. I'm grabbing him next week.

      1. Hobolicious
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Hmm, are you not concerned with his minutes now Deeney is back from his ban?

        1. The real slim shady
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Think he will play enough.Way greater option then other mid priced forwards imo. Watford are attacking alot even against bigger clubs. I would not spend a dime in their defence but offence seems like a cheap way to attacking points.

  9. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Pope
    Davies Christensen Daniels Wimmer
    Hazard Salah Sterling

    Cheers and GL this w/e 🙂

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

      I think I would play RLC

  10. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsey
    Nailed. 3 goals, 7 assists. Last 6 games blanked only once (!) and produce 2 goals and 5 assists.

    Thoughts?

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

      Great option. May even be worth the extra on Gross and Rich since Sanchez and Ozil have upped their games too.

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

      Well worth it

    3. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      if it was Pogba everyone would buy him...and he is 7.1

    4. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Nice differential and Arsenal seems to be inform again

    5. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      It’s between him & Pogba for me.

    6. Four Letter Wirtz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Own him. Love him. The best part is that so many serious players simply refuse to buy him.

  11. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

    Thoughts on Hennessey / Speroni keeper double up?

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

      If you currently have Elliot/Speroni it's a good way of guaranteeing a cheap playing keeper with reasonable fixtures while Woy decides who's his No 1.

  12. souleil
    • 10 Years

    Bench 3 please:

    Pogba Kolasinac C. Wilson DCL RLC Ward

    Options
    A. Hold
    B. Daniels to Alonso

    D. Kola to Alonso then Daniels to Kola in 2 weeks

    1. swish41
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      C and then you can bench duffy this week.

  14. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Haven't captained a midfielder all season, but tempted by Salah this week. Still got the armband on Kane currently and don't own Haz. What are people doing?

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

      I own Kane and I'm capping Salah. We're missing the evidence right in front of our noses. Salah is the real deal.

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I too am captaining Salah and owning Kane. It galls me that I've just sheepfully captained Kane with Salah handing them in. If he can score 2 goals in 23 minutes, he can score a goal against Brighton surely.

        1. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Be careful - I'm a first time owner ranked at 1.8m, I can destroy players in a couple of mouse clicks.

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

            Eeeek, be careful! 🙂

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

          I have come to realise that form means more than fixtures, and Sally's form is astonishing. He also scored against Spurs and Chelsea so he can score against anyone.

    2. nevins84
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Im going Haz if I didnt have him i would probably go Salah over Kane personally, his form is just madstuff at the minute..

    3. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Have Salah & Kane but I think I’m sticking with Kane.
      Brighton can be tricky and defending is not Watford’s strength.

  15. THEKID_88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Start Duffy or Ward this weekend?

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Ward

  16. nevins84
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Hi Guys,
    Could really be doing with some opinions on potentially playing my WC, really because I have no keeper and only a -4 gets me one seems a waste but I can clear up a couple of other bits..

    This is how I am going in

    Elliot
    Kola Bavies Mee
    Hazard(c) RLC Silva Salah
    Abraham Lukaku Kane

    Speroni Carroll Dunk Rangel

    Bavies/Lukaku/Rangel/Speroni/Elliot all potentially chopped out with the WC...
    Or should I wait what is putting me off is if I drop Lukaku to get Morata he may not start this weekend..

    1. Bruces Kebabs
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'd downgrade Bavies/Lukaku to be able to upgrade a keeper.

      Hope Morata starts as he's the only striker Chelsea have!

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Morata will almost certainly start as there is no alternative. I wouldn't play the WC to solve a keeper problem. Elliot may get played this weekend anyway (I have the same keeper problem). I would leave it as long as possible to use it as you have waited until December already.

  17. AJ24
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Pickford
    Alonso, Daniels, Maguire
    Salah, Sterling, Richarlison, Choupa-Moting
    Kane (VC), Morata (C), Vardy

    Fabianski, T Carrol, Ward, Mbemba

    0.2m ITB

    One of the first weeks I think the team looks pretty good, so i can expect a 25 pointer..!

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

      Chopu has a bang on his ankle :S

      1. AJ24
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Doh!

  18. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Elliot
    Alonso, Daniels, Mee
    Hazard, Salah, Sterling, RLC
    Kane, Morata, Wilson

    Speroni*, Naughton, Carroll, 4.0*

    What would you do with 1.6m and an FT here?

    New keeper? New defender?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Elliot to Ryan

    2. nevins84
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Get yourself a nice new shiny keeper

      1. AJ24
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I just went and got Pickford
        Everton & Swansea seem to rotate well!

    3. Four Letter Wirtz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Great team, but that makes it hard to improve without upsetting the balance. I'd either (a) sell Speroni for Ederson or (b) hope Elliot plays and carry over the FT for a miniWC next week

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers

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

      Beef up your bench... Winter is coming!

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah Im thinking having a 4m non playing def isnt too clever

    5. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Rooney punt?

    6. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Awesome team there, Bubz - all bases covered.
      Agrere with upgrading Speroni. Ryan roates nicely with Elliot (given the latter regains his place)
      Who are you captaining this GW, seeing you've got all the expected protagonists?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers! I'm thinking Hazard at home to Newcastle or maybe Kane. Undecided

  19. Big Sam Time

    So atm iv moting as my captain??? Thots

    1. Fitzy.

      😕

    2. Smurf

      English only please.

    3. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      What did you call us?

  20. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I have no playing keeper as I have Elliot and Speroni. I have 0.2 in the bank. Should I just get Hennessy so it doesn't matter which one Hodgson plays? Should I go with Grant? 4.3m is my limit I am afraid.

  21. FPL Panda
    • 10 Years

    Best 4.7 defender bar Daniels and mee pls folks? Looking for a dann replacement

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

    ‘Injured’ David Luiz spotted back in Chelsea training ahead of Newcastle clash

    says Metro.

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

      I don't believe he ever was genuinely injured. Chelsea could have sorely done with his passing out of the back to create even more chances against Swansea, so they might draft him in for Newcastle. Depends how his relationship with Conte is shaping up.

  23. ponsio22
    • 8 Years

    1. Ojpsan1
      • 8 Years

      B or C

  26. Your Mum Zohore
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Hi guys, feel like I'm pretty set for the GW:

    DDG

    Mee Ota Azpi (Naughton 3.9)

    Salah (C) Sterling Gross Richarlison (TC)

    Morata Kane Niasse

    1FT, 3.1 ITB

    Should I:

    A) Save
    B) 3.9 => Mustafi (or Moreno)
    C) TC => Ramsay

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Bruces Kebabs
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Think I would do C out of those as you already have quite a bit spent on defence

      1. Your Mum Zohore
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, but I'll have to sort out my 3.9 defender soon, would love to have a playing squad. Also, get Ramsey in before or after the United match?

  27. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I was set on getting Pogba out in order to get Hazard in but maybe Sane is the one to go?

    The fixtures of ManU seem abit "easier", except the next two, and when City hit Bourn, New and Palace it's rotation season so Sane will likely not play all those games whereas Pogba will probabily start all the ManU games..

    Pogba does also seem abit more constistent in getting some points than Sane

    Who should go for Hazard Pogba or Sane?

    1. Michelle Davin
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      dont get Sane.

  28. Michelle Davin
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    What do you guys make of the comments regarding Choupo,will he play or not?

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Doesn't sound like it.

  29. The Fed
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Best replacement for Lowton:

    A) Moreno

    B) Femenia

  30. Live Lad
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Will Alonso start? Thinking of doing him to Christensen who will free up funds.
