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.

  1. MidTableFantasy

    Do we trust the Liverpool defence for this nice run of fixtures?

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

      Never

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

      nope

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

      They've been getting clean sheets like every other game. I can deal with that.

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

      I'm happy with Moreno as 4th defender in a back 3

    5. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Moreno since I bought him
      H - 6
      A- 2
      H - 6
      H - 2 - against Chelsea, I benched him. He'd have had a clean sheet if Mignolet was not insane.
      A - 7 and he's only 4.5

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

    How does the likes of Alan Pardew keep getting a job in the prem?
    In any other profession, someone who is perennially fired for not being good enough would not keep getting a job 😆

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

      Politicians seem to manage it

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

    If only Trippier was nailed on.

    Before gw10 he started 7 matches and had 4 cs and 4 assists.Damnn those returns were unreal

  4. MrMajeika
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Foster Elliot
    Trippier Mee Daniels Moreno gazi
    Salah sterling gross alli RLC
    Lukaku Kane Abraham

    GTG? 0.8m itb
    how would you line up?

  5. MrFrodo
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    How nailed on is Zeegelaar he's had some exceptional returns since his debut but is he first choice?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'm looking at brining in.

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

      Hes first choice for now. Got competition from Holebaps though.

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

      Yes ever since Watford switches to a 3-5-2. Unsure if Holebas has been dropped or was injured.

  6. ILOVEBAPS
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Sané > Sterling?

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Dunno man. I have both and really unsure which one id pick if restricted to one. Both are brilliant. Which do you prefer?

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

        I prefer Sané as a player but it's points that matter!

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          I hear ya, both are point machines though

  7. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Choose Daniels or Mustafi?
    Start from gw 16.
    Thanks.

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

      Mustafi

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

      I just sold Daniels

    3. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Mustafi

  8. Pilgrim62
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Firmino to Vardy for hit

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      No

  9. xRedArrow
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Lukaku dilemma for the worst performing striker who is now not fixture proof (Already have Kane)

    A) Swap for Jesus (WHM, mun,swan,TOT)
    B) Swap for Vardy (BUR,new,sot,CRY)
    C) Hold fire (ars,CITY,bou,WBM)

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

      Morata?

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Vardy

  10. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Thoughts on GW team

    Lloris
    Walker - Daniels - Maguire - Bellerin - Alonso
    Sane - Hazard
    Kane(c) - Morata - Wilson

    Bench: Elliot - Carroll - Surman - Carrick

  11. Bobby
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Sigh. Sterling and sane have jinxed me all season. Do we really think sane will be rested? And aguero?

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Who cares mate? City players get rotated. If that makes you not want them, sell.

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

      Just get one and stick with him.

  12. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Any ideas how can I get city in before they play the worst defence in the league?

    DDG / Elliot
    Azpi / Otamendi / Mbemba / Mee / Duffy
    Hazard / Richarlson / Salah / Choupo-Moting / RLC
    Kane / Morata / Wilson

    Azpi and Choupo to Zeegelaar and Sterling?

    0.4 itb 1ft

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

      U don’t need City to haul. Azpil will get his clean sheet

  13. Magic Bean
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Richarlson > Sterling for free? Have Sane

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

      Keep Richarlison

    2. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      No richarlson has good fixtures after the next one

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

    Please help me with these: play 2 and bench 3 in order

    1. Daniels
    2. Mustafi
    3. Gomez
    4. Richarlison
    5. Gross

    1. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I would play 1,5

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Play 4,5. Not sure about bench order

      1. Lukey27
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        He needs to play one of Daniels,Mustafi and Gomez.

  15. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Bench one of Moreno Kolasinac or Abraham. Currently on Abra

    1. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Abraham

  16. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Is Sane likley not to feature v west ham incase he gets his 5th yellow and is suspended for Man U?

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

      That’s the concensus around here. But only Pep knows.

    2. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Hardly a consensus.. drop Sane vs West Ham at your peril!

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Nah

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I've just sold him for Coutinho. A price drop tonight or tomorrow would mean I'm priced out of Liverpool's mids.

      I'm gambling on Pep wanting Sané for the Manchester derby. Could easily backfire though.

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

    Anyone with some Dyche's latest words until when will Heaton be out?

    1. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Need this too.. just tried looking and couldn’t find anything useful

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Sometime in January i read somewhere.

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

      If getting pope is what you're looking at, I'm in the same boat and am staying away...Spurs united x2, city, pool in 8 fixtures from gw18 and then he'll probably lose his place.

  18. jia you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Good morning DZ,
    Who are your three 'behind the couch players'this week?
    Hazard, Aguero & bloody Sterling are the three that I'm scared of big hauls from!
    But for the first GW, I don't have to be cursing Salah 😉

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

      Hazard. Think Newcastle will have a though day on the job.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        He's far and away the one that I fear most. Will more than likely have him in my team next week for Alli or Sane! CHE really could give NEW a proper hiding!

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

          Alli has been so useless.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Salah, Sané and Sanchez

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I bit the bullet and finally got Salah in TS, he's the best assest by some way so far! You will continue to go without?

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          Yep, and hope for a miracle. Actually, I'm quite liking Coutinho against teams that park the bus. I'm not going to catch up in my ML with the same players.

          1. jia you
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            I hear you and I wanted to go without but after watching him in his last few games I could no longer ignore! He basically playing as a pacy goalscoring no9 most of the time! Good luck, surely he will slow down a little bit for you 😉

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 19 days ago

              No doubt I'm being stubborn, but I'd have only 2 players different from the top placed team and have 0.8m extra to pay.

              Will have to see how it works out. Coutinho should be key in Liverpool's home games and likes a bap or two 🙂

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

      Haz because he’s well rested.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        ...tell me about it, I just hope he sets up Morata for a few if he is gonna haul! 😉

  19. Drogba Legend
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Fabianski (Elliot)
    Azpi - Moreno - Naughton (Mee - Hunemeier)
    KDB - Hazard (C) - Salah - RLC (King)
    Kane - Murray - Morata

    .7 ITB
    1 FT
    G2G to save transfer or use .7 to upgrade Murray/King/Elliot

    Cheers lads!

    De gea sane to courtois kdb?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Nice moves

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Your move looks a bit sideways but I'm kind of sorry that I didn't just leave KDB as a set and forget in my team, but his price is just too akward for me now and I want Hazard!

    3. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Prefer the first pair

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

    Now serious question. 😀

    What are your thoughts on getting Pickford? 😀

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Wait until after the Merseyside derby at least

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

        Can't. Have Elliot and Speroni.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          Then yeah, go for it.

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

    Are you looking to bring in any Everton players? If yes who? I’m looking at Kenny if he’s nailed under Big Sam. And Siggy as well. Starting to get his assists.

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

      Would really like to get Siggy or Rooney, but can afford only Niasse.

      Thinking of getting Pickford now, but not sure.

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Going to need a cheap fifth def in the run up to christmas. Got my eye on Kenny and Holgate.

  23. Kun Tozser
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Christensen or Mustafi?

    Mustafi the best option for nailedness right?

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

      Chris

  24. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Would you do Silva to Sterling? Good chance the latter will be rested, no?

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

      Sterling’s on a roll. Most likely will play.

  25. DanLynch
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Alonso + sane > hazard + Ben mee

    Should I do this??

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      no.

    2. Lukey27
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Looks fairly solid. Is it for a hit?

  26. Kevtheotter
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Take a hit to get Salah in?

    Foster
    Alonso Daniels Moreno
    Sterling Richarlison Pogba Hazard
    Kane Morata Niasse

    Elliot Choupo Naughton Mbemba 1FT 0.7 ITB

    A) Save
    B) Alonso and Pogba —> Christensen and Salah
    C) Pogba and Choupo —> Salah and 4.5

    Cheers

    Defence nghtmare all season long. Lowton now injured
    Best move pls?

    1 Play Davies (he will start)
    2 -4 Davies > Chrsitensen or other Def

  28. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    How am I looking for the gw

    Lloris
    Walker Daniels Bellerin Maguire Alonso
    Sane Hazard
    Kane Morata Vardy

    Bench: Elliot Surman Carroll Carrick

    Captain at the moment Kane

  29. FPL Doctor
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Play Macguire (BUR) or Mee (Lei)?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Maguire

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Maguire

  30. Twisted Saltergater
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Just had a thought. Will Sané not drop because of his yellow flag or have FPL stats taken account of the increased threshold and he's still likely to drop? (If that makes sense)

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Dunno I just hope people keep selling regardless

      1. Twisted Saltergater

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Cheers TM. My gamble on Sané to Coutinho will take a kick in the balls if he doesn't drop to 8.9m before the West Ham game.

    3. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Excuse my ignorance but when will we get confirmation as to whether Sane is available for the weekend or not?

      He had a re-adjustment a little while after the flag went on i noticed.
