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.

    Scott Dann to Moreno/Kiko for a hit or play Naughton?

    Foster
    Alonso - Mee - Dann*
    Hazard - Salah - Sane - Richarlison
    Kane - Morata - Niasse

    (Elliot - RLC - Naughton - Mbemba)
    0 FT, 0.2 ITB

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

    1) Naughton to Christensen

    Or

    2) Pope to Courtios

    Have Alonso and Mee. Cheers

      1 out of those.

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

    Fabianski
    Jones* / Daniels / Ward / Duffy / Dann*
    Salah / Sane / Alli / Richarlison / RLC
    Kane / Morata / Niasse
    1.4itb

    What is my priority next week iyo?
    1. Get Hazard for Alli/Sane, downgrading Dann/Jones in the process. (will this leave my defence too light?)
    2. Get in a Azpi/Alonso.
    3. Other.

    Appreciate your thoughts。

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

      Some don’t like to make defensive transfers but I reckon your defence needs some cleaning up. Dann and Jones to Zeegelaar and Alonso? Daniels have three tough fixtures from GW17-19, Ward 19-20, 22.

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

        Thanks for this mate as I think I've had the blinkers on and all I was thinking about was getting in Hazard! But going for a CHE defender instead might me more optimal for my team, looking at it now!

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

          love your suggestion btw and will look at that, cheers 🙂

        thanks!

  4. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    im really stumped with what do to with Sane. Whats everyone else currently thinking, selling or not?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Keeping

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

      Same here.

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

      Just sold but have pangs of regret already. We'll see how it goes.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        yeah, I feel like I would regret it if I sold him. Have to take the price drop tonight now probably

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

        Coutinho is bloody good too fwiw

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

          I'm very tempted to do Alli to mane but I'm gonna be sensible and downgrade him next week. Need funds to fix my keepers and mbemba

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

            I would rather have Mané over Alli given how Alli has been looking. It's an awful transfer to do though as selling a big hitter can easily bite you.

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

              Without a doubt I'd rather mane but instead I'll swap Alli for richarlison next week. Need those funds for gk/def

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

      Keeping. Missing a game doesn't change the fact he's one of the best picks in the game. Hell a couple weeks ago he was apparently "essential"

  5. Josserz
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Jonjoe Kenny nailed for a bit do you reckon?
    Started the last 6 and Sam will has already started to tighten the ship...

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

      Big Sam hasn't taken charge of a game yet.

  6. Licious Lizard
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Which 3 would you PLAY?

    A) Mee (lei)
    B) Gross (LIV)
    C) Richarlison (TOT)
    D) RLC (wba)
    E) Niasse (HUD)

    Currently on this XI:
    DDG
    Christensen, Moreno, Ake
    Hazard, Salah, Gross, RLC
    Kane, Morata, Niasse
    Elliot - Richarlison, Mee, Duffy

    Cheers!

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Richo over RLC

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Cheers. Just thinking Spurs must tighten up a bit soon.

          Needs Toby for that.

  7. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Play 2.

    Kola
    Gross
    RLC
    Richarlison

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Richo + Gross/Kola

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Kola, Richarlison

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

      Richarlison and Kola

    4. jia you

      Rich & Kola

    5. More Tragic
      • 10 Years

      Gross + RLC

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

      Kola richarlison

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

    We think Moreno gets the next few games or is a rest coming?

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

      likely to sit one out at some point

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

        Yeah, not sure if he's worth a hit for Dann. Not expecting much from Dunk who'll play instead, so could be 1 point either way, with or without a hit.

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

    Thanks Jonty,Az,Granville and Andy for the scoutcast. Good luck this weekend!

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

      Here here! Excellent episode in difficult circumstances.

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

        I can't hear you

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

    Play Wilson or RLC?

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

      Wilson

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

    What would you do?

    Begovic[Elliot]
    Kola Davies Gomez [Dann,Rosenior]
    Salah Sane Mahrez Gross[TC]
    Kun Kane Rondon
    1ft 0.2

    A)Kola+Sane->Tarkowski->Hazard
    B)Kola->Christensen
    C)Dann->Tarkowski
    D)Save

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

      Save

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

        cheers.One of my concerns is that if Gomez get a rest i don't have someone to replace him.

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

          Dann not starting?

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

            no he won't probably.He lost his place.

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

              Then probably best to sell Dann.Kiko maybe?

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

                Don't you think its a better pick from gw17?Burnley defender or Morgan are better options imo.

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

      Upgrade Dann or Rosenior

      Dann > Moreno?

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

        Sorry didn't see Gomez there!

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

        cheers.I am thinking Tarkowski or Morgan.

  12. The HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    I´m with Salah captain forever mode ON but... Kane against the weak Watford centre backs...

    Kane or Salah?

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

      Kane edges it!

      1. The HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Thanks!

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

      Kane atm but Salah tempting.

      1. The HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Yeah, thanks mate

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

      Tempted to captian my new signing but that would surely end in tears! Watford will concede a few I reckon so Kane(C) for me!

      1. The HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        That´s my thinking too, it´s a tough decision. But I´m tempted to go Kane too.

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

          also hoping that Spurs get their act together this week as my Kane/Alli double up hasn't been working out too well 😉

          1. The HurriKane
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            Me too! Two points in favour of Spurs and us is that they are doing better playing away this season and Watford´s centre backs are weak.

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

            I have this too. They then have STO BRI so worth sticking with it IMO.

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

              I think we need to see it through now as the minute that well see him, he'll haul! A blank v WAT will be tough to take though!

              1. The HurriKane
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 19 days ago

                Definitively! Let´s see.

          3. Ciro Di Marzio
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            I wouldn't worry about Alli, I just sold him so a brace in almost guaranteed this week!

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

    About to lose .1 on Sane. Oh well, he can always gain it back!

  14. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Anyone else think Sane to Coutinho is worth it based on upcoming fixtures?

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years

      Twisted saltergater

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

    Play Wilson (SOU) or RLC (wba)?

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

      Wilson

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

      Rlc. Gut feeling Wilson gets a cameo

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

    Keep Sane or do?

    A) Mane
    B) Ozil
    C) Ozil

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

      *c) Mahrez

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

      B, no C, no B, no C... oh I can't decide.

      😀

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

      Keep til you hear what pep says on press.c.

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

      The sensible option is to probably keep this week then reconsider or sell for an Arsenal or Liverpool mid next week.

      Personally, I've sold as there is a small risk Pep benches him due to the 4 YC situation and then he has United next week. I wouldn't be able to afford Coutinho if Sané drops 0.1m

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

        You reckon he will start at the weekend?

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

          Sorry V, just seen this.

          I've been on the Blue Moon fans forum and they're hoping Sané doesn't start. Reading Pep's approach to this situation though is difficult. If Sané really did have the flu then maybe he's not 100% for this one? See what the press conference announces.

  17. G-Whizz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Another Sterling rise tonight would be nice for the double profit...

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

      Capt Sterling! :p

  18. The HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Bournemouth is trolling me... they had CS in last 3 games before this last and I didn´t play Begovic any of them. Then I buy Daniels to join Begovic in my squad, play both and they suffer, come on!

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

      Please sell Daniels 😉

  19. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Oh well, ive done it now. Sane to Sterling to beat the 0.2m swing.

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

      Matey MacMatey, the pain you will feel after Sane's haul will be thoroughly well deserved 😉

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

        😀

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

      That's if Sané drops 😉

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Wrong move in my opinion... I mean, it could pay off, but it's more about chasing value and last week's points.

      (Don't get me wrong, I'm a Sterling owner and very happy to have him, but I feel like we should generally stick to whichever City attacking assets we have instead of chopping and changing - it's why I've stuck with Jesus and Sterling for a few weeks now)

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

      Silly move. Chasing points. Will hurt. Point or Pounds? Good luck.

      1. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I regretted losing Sterling before for Sane, as hes failed for me last 2 GW's. Im happy to give him another chance and he frees up 0.7m for me. I could still do the Sane-Sterling-Sane hokey cokey anyway.

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

          So you are swapping them back and forth forever chasing last weeks points. pick one or both and be patient

  20. The Curse of Falcao
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Have 0.4 ITB which lets me take out Sane and bring in Mane for a free, won't be able to do that for a free if Sane drops tonight, should I do it?

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

      Yes, if you don't fancy Coutinho.

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

      Whoops

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

      Mane up Sane down. OUCH!

      1. The Curse of Falcao
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Ikr tough decision if I knew Sane would 100% start I'd keep, however...

    4. TorresMagic™

        Yes, a bit actually. Serves me well sometimes! I guess you're not too enthused about that move...

          Nope.

          Niasse is unlikely to play. City have Wet Spam..

            Ok fair thanks

    Anybody else just wish that they kept KDB as their set and forget City mid?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years

      Nope. Better value in mids with Salah, Sane, Sterling, Richarlison, Gross, Ramsay.

      He's quietly replaced Silva as the consistent one, hasn't he? Could even be a solid captaincy option given his form.

      (Cue his first rotation of the year 😛 )

    3. More Tragic
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Sterling has been my set + forget Citeh mid since the get go.

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

      No I'm much happier with Sterling and sane matching him for a couple mil less

    5. The Curse of Falcao

      8 years, 19 days ago

      Na Sterling gets enough points for me.

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

      I can see why Sterling owners are content haha! I just watched his goal last night on MOTD, wow, a beaut, he's playing with serious confidence now. Surprise package of that City squad this season but I just can't warm to him.

      I got Sterling at 7.9m. I'm happy just having him now.

        1. Reiko
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          Not sure on Morata game time this weekend but better option in the long term i guess
