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.

    Play 2 and order bench:

    A) Niasse (HUD)
    B) Ward (lei)
    C) Naughton (stk)
    D) Richarlison (TOT)
    E) RLC (wba)

    Already have Pope in goals in case that changes any decision on Ward

    1. We Will Klopp you

      BC

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        My apologies, those are the two I'd bench. I'd play AD

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Man I'm tired, would order bench EBC

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

      D, A

  2. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Sane to Coutinho

    A) Good move
    B) Bad move

    1. Licky
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't.

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Not totally bad but wouldn’t do it

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers guys will stick then I think

    4. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I think I'll hold Sane until next year. If the buy Sanchez or another left back I might consider a move like that. Until then I think he is still going to play majority of league games

    5. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Not this week

    6. EMERGING STAR
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Not a bad move but its not needed at the moment

    7. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      it would have been a good move but Sané makes it borderline bad. Coutinho to excel vs Brighton, i am so close to taking a hit to get him in, but it involves firmino so i´l l chance it. But i know Coutinho wil lscore and i think Firmino won´t get any wether he plays 90 or 20-)

      if sané out it is good, but doubt that if its just man flu

  3. RESULT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I can see morata rested for batshityua
    Alonso for Moses with zappa swapping wings
    Cahill rested for azip

    1. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Anything is possible. Morata might start and come off after 60 is my gut feeling

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

    Niasse and Richarlison
    RLC, Ward, Naughton

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

      Replay fail

  5. Kevtheotter
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months 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

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      C would appeal

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Would have a v v good mid then

    2. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Could you phase the transfers over the next 2 weeks - to avoid the point hit?

  6. Tabbara
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Elliot Speroni
    Mee Lowton Alonso Daniels Duffy
    Sterling Richarlison Hazard RLC Salah
    Morata Abraham Kane
    0.1 ITB
    Any transfer suggestions
    GK problem as well
    Save FT?

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

      Lowton and Elliot to Kenny and Hennessey

  7. Najoman86
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Alli > Hazard or KdB? or keep Alli?

    Current mid: Alli, Salah, Sterling, Groß

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Haz

      1. Najoman86
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks!
        Do you prefer the Hazard/Morata double-up over the City MID double-up?

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Just. It’s close.

          1. Najoman86
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks. It is a tough one. One eye on City v West Ham...
            Will most likely go with Hazard. Cheers!

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard

      1. Najoman86
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks!

    3. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Same here 50:50 for me as if I do Alli to Hazard, my defence is looking weak. Spurs fixtures are also very good so an Alli haul at the weekend and I'll be inclined to keep him.

  8. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 years, 4 months ago

    I have not held my FT since GW3 !!
    Time to do so this week and have 2FT next week
    0.0 ITB
    I could change Sane based on news but think I will hold anyway and don't see another obvious move.

    Pope

    Alonso Mee Kiko

    Salah (C) Sane Sterling Hazard (VC) Richarlson

    Morata Jesus

    Pereira Niasse Dunk Hunemeier

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No moves needed if sane not ruled out

    2. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      That is a ripper side for the upcoming GW!

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Ok think I will hold. Thanks for replies.
      And it looked like a ripper side this week too til it scored 44 🙂

  9. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    If Aguero starts vs West Ham he could go bananas

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      To be fair any man city attacker has a great chance of points if they start vs west ham. Moyes will take them down

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

      He'll need a lot of penalties!

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Zing!

    3. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He could go bananas in any game against any team

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Like most City attackers, he also pretty much only scores points in one out of every three or four GW's on average, it's just too difficult to predict which GW's those will be.

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

        Who? Aguero?

        9 Goals in 9 games with 3 assists.

    5. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      If Mendy plays on one leg v West Ham he could go bananas

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

    Giroud to partner Morota up front? Niasse is third striker

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I really really hope giroud gets that spot but others warn about Sanchez up top. Wait and see I guess

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      It's a risk, Sanchez could easily start up top with Giroud on the bench

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

      Giroud might only be good for a week, if he even starts.

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

        Do you think Giroud is ahead of Welbeck for a start?

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

          Tough to call but Sanchez could start up top too. Too many ifs and Laca could be back the following week anyway.

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Fell into that trap around this time last year. Never again.

  11. panda07

    Am I gtg for this week?

    0 FT 1.7m ITB
    Foster
    Alonso Ottamendi Tarkowski

    Elliot RLC Mariappa Mbemba

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Salah (c) btw

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Very good

    3. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yep. In the near future I'd look at upgrading one of those non playing defenders with the money in the bank

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah the plan is to upgrade Mbemba soon enough and I'm thinking of buying De Gea or Courtois as I don't like my gk's. Thanks mate

    4. Squashed
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      How much points do you think you gonna score?

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I'm hoping for 60+ because a lot of my players have decent fixtures. What do you think?

  12. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Repost, bottomed. G2G?

    Foster
    Otamendi Christensen Moreno
    Hazard (c) Salah Sterling Richarlison
    Kane (vc) Aguero Niasse

      GTG mate

    2. InSaneMan-e

      Defo.

  13. Schliegs
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy and Gross > Salah and Niasse for free?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, Salah is a must

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, Salah is a must

    3. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      To get Salah, yes. Wait and see what Big Sam says regards Niasse/DCL tomorrow.

    5. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I think Salah is necessary but I cant bring myself to get rid of Gross just yet

  14. InSaneMan-e
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Pope (Elliot)
    Kolasinac azpilicueta moreno Holgate ( I know, wtf) (naughton)
    Salah Hazard Choupo RLC (gross)
    Lukaku Kane (Carroll)

    0 itb. 1 ft. Obviously I wanted morata for Lukaku but feel morata gets rested this week. What do you guys think is best

    A) lukaku-->kun for 1 week then get morata in
    B) Andy Carroll -->niasse (but don't know if he plays under big Sam)
    C) other. Suggestions welcome

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      If you think morata rested I would save

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      i think Naughton is wtf.. sorry, Lukaku will get two points and then have City next, Morata will give you some more money to upgrade Holgate and Naughton with. Kun is at risk after 3 games in a row but if you confident he plays then sure. If you want Morata it seems a little waste to wait one week? If you wait then you will lose some money on that transfer which could be crucial in upgrading those two?
      joggers nipple advice to save is also a good advice-)

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Naughton got me a 9 pointer last week!
        Perhaps your right. Lukaku with the 2 points, morata probably has more chance of points off the bench

  15. Joggers Nipple
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Think I’m ok this week but longer term has my stubbornness with lukaku put me in a corner? No cash to make wimmer or Carroll better.

    Pope
    Alonso wimmer Daniels
    Salah gross loftus sterling
    Kane morata Aguero

    Woodman ward Gomez Carroll 0 itb

    Later ward to cheaper burnley to raise cash to make wimmer to watford?
    Any longer term ideas really welcome

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Longer term 3 really strong forwards take a hit on the rest.
      But the again those 3 all have great fixtures

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers. Some dull moves to raise a few 0.1s ahead I feel

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero down to niasse could be the go at some point. Allows Carroll to sane/mane/hazard and more investment in defence

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers ( guess you mean lukaku?)
        That’s my big choice, will think on after this week.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          your frontline is Kane morata Aguero?
          But yes same goes if it's meant to be lukaku. More points to be had elsewhere imo

          1. Joggers Nipple
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Oh dear. So hungover.

            Front line is

            Morata Kane lukaku

            Where did aguero come from??

            1. Get up ya bum
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 4 months ago

              😆

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

              Argentina?

    3. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I was in similar situation. I moved Lukaku to Niasse as I had a few other problems to fix but with your team I'd use the money to get hazard for Carrol

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks

    4. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I don't own Lukaku but if I did I would get rid as I don't think he's good value at all. Could downgrade to Niasse/Murray and upgrade Carroll

  16. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Big red arrow midweek. What to do here?

    1ft 0.4itb
    Pope
    Otamendi Daniels Ward
    Richarlison D.Silva Salah Hazard (C)
    Morata Kane Wilson

    Elliot Dann Carroll 3.9

    Potentially Dann out as Wilson may be rotated, but then I only have 5.1m to replace him and I dont know who.

    Save?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      It’s an ok team. Just sort dann now imo

  17. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    How am I looking for this game week lads?

    Courtois
    Azpi mee jones
    Richarlison pogba sane salah(C) groß
    Morata Kane

    Elliot niasse feminia gamez

    0.3 ITB 1FT

    Any advice would be much appreciated!!

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      All good if jones is playing

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

        Cheers! Thinking of playing niasse instead of groß but I'm hesitant

    2. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Nice team. I'm starting Niasse over Gross. I feel even if he plays 20 mins he's more chance of scoring or assisting than Gross will be against liverpool

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

        Great minds think alike ha

        1. La Gazzetta
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          haha I think it's worth it considering Calvert Lewin has played a fair few minutes this week so even if he starts surely comes off at 60-70 min anyway. Allardyce is probably the kind of guy who will start Sandro and ruin 3-5-2 for all of us

    3. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      looks good

  18. The Dribbler
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Re-post from another page - looking to turn Choupo into Ramsey next week which means I need to turn Wilson into 5.0 or less this week. But who?
    A. Niasse (home to HUD)
    B. Crouch (home to SWA)
    C. Robson-Kanu (home to CRY)

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

      ACB - Crouch too old for a full 90

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

      Could you wait a week and just play Wilson? Seeing what Big Sam does with Niasse/DCL would be worth waiting.

      1. The Dribbler
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Will try to wait but may miss out on Ramsey if Niasse gets a price rise over the next couple of days...which is quite possible so I will need to monitor. Thanks.

    3. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Can you save and do it next week once we have an idea on Calvert-Lewin or Niasse minutes. Might be worth finding the extra 0.1 for Calvert-Lewin if he's going to be playing more minutes

      1. The Dribbler
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Ta. Yes I actually have 5.1 to spend but am preparing for Ramsey to price rise before next gw, which would then leave me 5.0...fingers crossed Ramsey doesn't go up!

  19. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    It not really "group think"
    So much as we all have a tipping point where we say enough is enough.
    This week it seems to be it's time to stick the C on Salah and leave there until further notice.

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

      And I feel the exact same about Kane 🙂

    2. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      This is how I feel about KaneWhen I look at Kane's next 3 fixtures I think I'll be even more upset if I don't have him captain for a haul. At least I know Kane will start them all so I'm sort of committing to the idea now

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Ok definitely not group think cause then it would all be the same 🙂
      And I had a different tipping point with Kane 2 or 3 weeks ago.

    8 years, 4 months ago

    What would you change?

    Courtois
    Mee/Daniels/Mustafi (naughton/mbemba)
    Salah/Silva/Sane/Richarlison (RLC)
    Kane(c)Morata/Niasse

    1. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Nothing really. Maybe Sterling instead of Silva but wouldn't do it this week but maybe if possible in the near future. Luxury trade really

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

        thx

    2. Wildyank
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good, defense may not get you many points this GW. Maybe invest in Chelsea defender. Christensen is cheap and nailed on with Luiz out.

    3. The Dribbler
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Nice team! Nothing jumps out as requiring attention.

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

        cheers

  21. Wildyank
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you start out of these three defenders. Thanks..

    A) Moreno (bha)
    B) Ward (lei)
    C) Francis (SOU)

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

      a

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      A

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

      Flip a coin between Moreno and Francis.

    4. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      A) Liverpool might not be the most solid at the back but Brighton will be playing for 0-0

    5. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Moreno

  22. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Who else is getting Tammy back in now?

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

      Think he's too raw and Swansea won't be able to supply him enough, wouldn't be bringing him in.

  23. Carroll to the rescue
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Any changes needed lads?

    Pope Elliot
    Dann Moreno Dunk Mee Mbemba
    Pogba Salah Sterling Choupo RLC
    Aguero Kane Morata

    .5m ITB and 2FTs; clearly my defense seems to be in shambles, suggestions appreciated!

    1. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'd probably trade Dann but may require a downgrade elsewhere to get in someone nailed. I'd probably downgrade a striker or Pogba

    2. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'm on the fence with choupo>gross, but you have to enjoy choupo goal threat.

      Looks a good team

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Dann > Daniels maybe
      But he has only got 2 good fixtures left for now.

    4. The Dribbler
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe Kun to Vardy and Choup to Ramsey or Coutinho. I'm also considering Fabregas as a POD as he is in Hazard's shadow. He could become the assist king over the next couple of months.

  24. mazkills
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard owners (w/out WC):

    How have you managed to get him in your team?

    -8?

    Dropping big names?

    1. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I could have by downgrading Lukaku but had too many other issues so I couldn't

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

        If I had Kaku that seems the play...tough to downgrade Kane/Morata/Sane/Salah

  25. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Fabianski (Eliot)
    Alonso Otamendi Ward Francis (Duffy)
    Salah Alli Sterling Choupo (RLC)
    Kane Kun (Joselu)

    Would you change this 4-4-2? Looking to save tranny. Have 0.7 ITB. Could do something with Eliot or Joselu (take a risk on Niasse?) or Ward to Mustafi. Or save?

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

      I would save it...keep Ward btw

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

        Cheers.

    2. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I would save. I think Niasse or Calvert-Lewin in for Joselu is a decent move and you may know more about which one after this week. I'd probably be playing 3-5-2 with that team but looks reasonably flexible which is good

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

        Yeah I played 3-5-2 last week, can switch to 4-4-2 or 3-4-3 as needed. Just choosing between playing RLC and/or Ward/Francis

  26. La Gazzetta
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Courtois in for:

    A) Speroni (4.0)

    B) Elliot (4.1)

    I'm thinking cash in on Elliot and wont need him anyway but my gut feel says he is more likely to win his spot back. Opinions appreciated

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

      I'd cash in too if going for Courtois, you won't be benching him anytime soon!

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

        Agree Chelsea defense look more and more like last year's with Kante bossing the defensive midfield again.

    2. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      If you get Courtois, you won't need to rotate...get elliot out

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Does it matter you won’t be rotating anyway?

      1. La Gazzetta
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah just not sure if the extra 0.1 spend on Elliot is worth it with the added chance of him still getting gametime?

    4. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks guys, just know i'll be slightly disappointed if I see Elliot playing again

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

        by the time you will even consider benching courtois it will be mid feburary. by then i'm sure some changes will be made and you may be able to get a legit back up

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

      I kind of disagree with the others here. If you're convinced that Elliot is a better pick than Speroni going forward, that´s well worth a tiny 0.1 of your budget.

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

        I just think that if I bring in DDG/Courtois - I'd be fine with Kellyanne Conway as my backup.

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

          I get your point and if it were 4.5 vs 4.0 there would be no discussion. But it's just 0.1 and it only takes one badly timed swing of someone's boot...

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

            true...if you have the cash, speroni drop is no brainer...all of my "plans" for future seem to rely on .1-.2

    6. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Elliot will handy when you play bench boost...

      1. La Gazzetta
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks for the replies guys, I hadn't even considered the bench boost factor I kind of assumed I would wildcard again before I get to that stage of the season. I'll see if any clues are released in any press conferences. Its hard to make the decision as to which is a better chance at regaining their spot, the kind of decision that might be easier to make with a few more gameweeks information but doesn't look like i can afford to wait

  27. Help Me!
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Firmino to Vardy (1FT)
    Yay or Nay?

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

      Nay, save or use it elsewhere

      Liverpool seem to be buzzing a bit, and I would keep Firmino for a couple Gw's (great next few fixtures) to see if you can catch his run of form from the beginning.

    2. The Dribbler
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yay

    3. wormface
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I just sold vardy . I noticed mahrez would not pass to him so many times . . Firmino keeper in my opinion

  28. mazkills
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    For all the GW 14 Morata captains - who has the armband this weekend?

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

      Morata!

    2. Help Me!
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Morata keeps it

    3. The Dribbler
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Morata with the vc on Courtois. Kane has not earned my confidence back yet (and i don't have Salah).

  29. Yankee Toffee
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Hey DZ, a bit lost here and could use some advice. Open to anything atm. Cheers!

    Elliot Foster
    Ward Jones Mbemba Monreal Dunk
    Dilva Salah Gross Richarlison TC
    Kaku Kane Morata
    0.0itb 2FT

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

      Actually looks really good...You could try the popular Kaku > ___ and upgrade elsewhere. But your kids look good, and defense not bad (assuming Jones gets back in)...but ward/monreal/dunk is a decent 3.

      I would do housekeeping on TC>RLC

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers!

        1. FPL Fella
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Lukaku to niasse
          TC to Hazard
          Looks good

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            This, then get Christensen if funds stretch

            1. Yankee Toffee
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 4 months ago

              Niasse prob wont start imho as Big Sam wont wanna change a winning side and he's coming off a 2 match ban

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

    This is crazy, right?
    Sane + Alonso to Hazard to + Christensen (-4)

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

      It's not crazy, but risky.

      If you do it, now would be the time for it. Who knows, maybe Sane stays ill this weekend, gets a blank and a yellow against manu, then sits for his ban.

      I'd do it on differential alone

    2. The Dribbler
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Crazy if you have decent mid bench cover. If you don't and Sane is rested then it's worth the hit...now where did I put that flux capacitor?

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Predicted scores next 2 GW's:

      Hazard-Christensen = 20 + 12 = 32
      Sané + Alonso = 14 + 8 = 22

      Should be ok
