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.

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

    Abraham + Sane > Niasse + Hazard (-4)

    Only way to fund Hazard.

    1. Impossibility
      • 8 Years

      Good move, yay or nay? Got carried away and posted too quickly!

  5. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Maguire, Gross, Aguero > Alonso, Hazard, Niasse -4...yay or nay? Thanks.

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Yes, with Azpi perhaps

    2. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      tough.yes probably

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Alonso and Niasse starting risks this weekend.

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        RLC for Niasse is ok for me anyway and just wanna get Alonso over Azpi for the long run i think.

  6. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    If we assume that Davies will start in the next 3 then would you prefer him or Kola?

    1. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Difficult to assume he'll start next 3 though so probably Kola.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      No and I don't think we can assume that.

    3. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Davies. But there is no way we can know that and it probably wont happen.

    4. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'd prefer Davies. But I wouldn't make that assumption.

    5. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      thanks.Of course we can't be sure for nothing.I am just trying to decide which one to sell and why for Christensen.

  7. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    After next gw Watford faces these 12 teams in their next 14 matches

    bur cpl HUD bha LEI SWA SOT lei sto wha EVE WBA

    Gomes is a great replacement for Elliot right? Anyone else looking at watford defence?

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Already have Mariappa

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Got Kiko out for 2 games but he is my go to replacement next week for Daniels. If Elliot doesnt get his spot back might just go for Gomes.

        Not sure exactly how these #s translate into whether Gomes Is a decent GK pick or not.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          I wouldn't get him.

          1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            I wouldn't get Ashley Young 😀

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 19 days ago

              No. More fool you. 😉

      2. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        They have 5cs. same as brighton who you seem to like a lot.

        I think watford will do well under marco silva over those excellent fixtures

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          I think their fixtures are crap. I am not at all convinced by Marco Silva. Ryan is good for bonus, also.

      3. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        These aren't same fixtures as above

        1. John t penguin
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          Ok I see he missed out hard games

  8. jimmy.floyd
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    De Gea
    Azpi Duffy Kola Daniels
    Salah Gross Sane
    Wilson Kane Morata (c)

    Elliot Richarlison Ward Carroll

    1.0 itb
    Anything worth a hit?

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      GTG. Looks expensive.

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Actually, i might have imagined Hazard in there, would need 2 transfers so maybe not.

  9. Magic Box
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Keen on getting rid of D. Silva but not a big fan of Pep's merry go round.

    Silva -> Sterling with FT tonight a good move?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Probably

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      If Sterling rises tonight then he might even rise again tomorrow

  10. Kenny Dogleash
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    2 FT

    Sane and Zaha to Hazard and Choupo-Moting?

    0.4m ITB

      Y

  11. whatsgoingon
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Who should I downgrade to bring in Hazard?

    My team ( in bank 1.4)
    Degea Elliot
    Otamendi Daniels Mee moreno Duffy
    Salah Sane Richarlison Rlc zaha
    Morata Kane Abraham

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years

      Zaha

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        +Daniels/Abraham

  12. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    I have exact money to do these transfers with 2 FTs. what do u think? I think my mids and forwards are ok

    Woodman, Jones and Ward to Pope, Mustafi and Christensen

    Rest of my team is:
    Elliot
    Otamendi-Gomez-Daniels
    Sterling-Salah-Sterling-Richarlison-Gross
    Kane-Morata-Wilson

    1. lugs
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      yes definitely imo

  13. Adds04
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    What are the chances Christensen will rise tonight?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Around 90% Id guess.

    2. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Probably rising

    3. Adds04
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Well tonight it is then, thanks

  14. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Sane and de Gea
    OR
    Salah

  15. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Any 4.7 or lower worth getting in for a hit? Either that or play Dunk who has Pool at home?

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      *defender

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Burnley boys ?

    3. BoleynWin
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Morenos a good shout.

  16. dark91
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    When did Sanchez get injured?!!
    Just seen he is flagged due to hamstring injury

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Brought off in the Arsenal match

      1. dark91
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Ok thanks

  17. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Sane and de Gea
    OR
    Salah

    Wouldn't recommend either though

  18. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    I hope Mane looks dangerous vs BHA but didn't show so not too many buy him in. Then the Salah + Mane combo might be a great thing 😀

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      doesn't score*

      1. Brayden29
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Have 0 FT’s but 1.2 cash, thoughts on side and any moves to make:
        Fabianski, Elliot
        Otamendi, Smalling, Christensen, Vertonghen, Tarkowski
        Salah, Richarlison, Gross, RLC, Carroll
        Kane, Morata, Aguero

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          I wouldn't be taking a hit here, g2g and re evaluate after the weekend. Need to get more £ in the midfield asap.

          1. Brayden29
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            Thanks for the reply, accidentally replied to yours. Hopefully mane and Salah can play more together in coming weeks.

        2. GOTHAM City F.C.
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          I hope one of the three strikers make it easy to drop them post this weekend.

  19. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Can upgrade a defender (Jones) or keeper (Flappy) to

    Kolasinac: MUNsotwhuNEWLIV
    Courtois: NEWwhuhudSOTeve

    Which is best?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Kola imo

  20. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Who would you play this week: Wilson (SOU) or RLC (wba)? I am leaning towards Wilson as he is at home and is the striker but WBA are a shambles and Pardew will only make that worse.

    1. Brayden29
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Wilson

  21. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Doos...how you coping with your Hammers?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'm not. 😥

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Only feel bad for them because you're a fan of them. Absolute s**t show mate, you called it over the summer.

        How would you fix it? Is it fixable?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          Yeah. I would sling out Hart and Arnautovic, and bring in 4 or 5 of the youngsters.

          I would play Rice and Martinez. And Ayew, left wing. And Noble. It's not rocket science, it's football. Keep it simple, stupid. 🙂

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            Felt so bad for you guys when you picked up Hart, lad is a trainwreck nowadays (though admittedly made some good saves recently, especially against Palace). Ayew is a no-brainer, same with Noble for me. How are Rice and Martinez?

      2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I feel so bad for WHU fans. I was willing to give Moyes a chance and he lost my conviction in his first interviews. As far as I can see, he doesn't care about the club, he only cares about his tarnished reputation and will use whatever opportunity to try to rid his awful recent history from people's minds. Unfortunately it's WHU who are caught up in his insecurities. Sad time to be a hammer...

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          I disagree with all of that, fwiw. 🙂

          1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            Fair enough 😀

          2. BoleynWin
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            It’s a sad state of affairs but ua fans could see it coming a long time ago, the clubs rotten from to the core & it’s evident to everyone now not just hose that go week in week out. I agree with shifting Hart & blooding the youngsters. Arnie is good when he fancies it, which is rare unfortunately. We deserve to go down purely due to the fact we are the worst team in the league, it’s that simple.

  22. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Bottomed 🙁

    Alonso or Christensen + 1.5 ?

    1. Brayden29
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I prefer the Christensen option but I reckon most would say Alonso

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Depends what you do with that 1.5. Alonso is definitely a better alternative.

    3. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Alonso

  23. Brayden29
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Have 0 FT but 1.2 cash, thoughts on side and any moves to make:
    Fabianski, Elliot
    Otamendi, Smalling, Christensen, Vertonghen, Tarkowski
    Salah, Richarlison, Gross, RLC, Carroll
    Kane, Morata, Aguero

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Strong defence, presume you play 433 most weeks ?

      1. Brayden29
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Yea I have been doing that and has worked well

  24. Fantasyamateur
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Foster
    Daniels - Hegazi - Mee - Moreno
    Salah - Richarlison - Sterling
    Agüero - Kane - Morata

    Bench: Elliot, Carroll, Dann, Chalobah.

    1FT, 1.8M ITB.

    What should I do with my FT? Want to get rid of Chalobah and Dann (completely disaster, transferred in for GW13). Whats the best replacement(s)?

  25. melvinmbabazi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Choose 1?

    A) Alonso and Vardy
    B) Hazard and Niasse

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      A

  26. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Any suggestion that Elliot will start next match?

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Just get De Gea or Pope and play them against everyone

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        De Gea is too expensive. Have 4.8 to spend on keeper.

        Pope is nice option, but isn't Heaton back at the start of January?

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          You can make the swap after that

          1. Dušan Citizen
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            Have Lowton already. Wouldn't want to waste transfer on keeper over the festive period.

  27. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    My starting lineup for this weekend is:
    3 from CHE vs NEW
    3 from MCI vs WHM
    2 from LIV vs BHA
    2 from EVE vs HUD
    1 from MUN vs ARS

    Should theoretically be a good thing...

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      This GW has nice chances to be big scoring one.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I've been doing poor in the big scoring ones and amazing in the crap ones

  28. AlpoShearer
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Foster (Elliot)
    Otamendi-Kola-Mee (Hegazi-Zanka)
    Choupo-DSilva-Salah-Hazard (C) (RLC)
    Kane-Morata-Niasse

    1FT 1,0ITB
    Good to go and save
    or something else?

  29. Geezer
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Lukaku and D Silva to Hazard and Vardy for a hit worth it? Also how long until the price changes?

    1. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Personally I would if you have other city cover. I downgraded Lukaku to Niasse though as I have already owned Vardy and got sick of him only getting 3 touches a game but that's just me. Price changes in about 1 hour

      1. Geezer
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Cheers

    2. korbendallas82
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Would not recommend Vardy. He is tempting at that price, but i have same experience as the man above.

  30. Zinadine_Gerrard
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Sane and Silva --> Mane and Sterling?

    1. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      No

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      selling sane and silva before they face the worst defence is crazy

    3. korbendallas82
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Sterling is due a rest soon.

      1. Mini Mane Mo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        He will be rested in mid week CL rubber

        1. korbendallas82
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          Nice for me, i have him. Lets hope so.
