Granville is the latest of the ScoutCast crew to be struck down by man-flu, and while Az manfully continued last time out, like myself the week before, my old rival is forced to sit out.

But he makes sure he has his say, priming Jonty beforehand to push my buttons on the “honeytrap” that was Jordan Pickford. Jonty plays a blinder on his behalf as Granville pulls the evil strings from his sickbed.

Elsewhere in this latest episode, your community questions steer us to assess whether we should call time on Marcos Alonso to consider cut-price alternatives. We appraise the Arsenal renaissance, get Az all riled up on “JLingz”, while Jonty has his say on “whipping boys”. That, of course, are those teams that are easy to beat and guarantee big returns.

I still believe that this topic was just another excuse to have a go at Pickford, with Granville sniggering over his Lemsip (other cold remedies and goalkeepers are available).

      Why 3.1 itb? Surely spend on that defence?

      Pope is a bit late now I think

      1. Zco
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Had Pope all along, will replace with Heaton when he comes back. Playing catch up, Burnley triple up served me well before christmas - good fixtures and Ward coming back. Money ITB for midfield upgrade - probably Spurs or Liverpool player later on.

        Mee to stoke defender no need for Burnley double up imo stoke and have a fixture in 31

        1. Pacer.
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          but stoke are absolutely horrendous. the last thing anyone should do is go stoke over burnley, even with 31

        2. Zco
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Something to think about thanks

    2. syke63
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Gw 31 plan for defence is non existant

    3. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      burnley triple is as good a punt as you'll find on dirt cheap defenders to fund the rest of the team. don't listen to anyone telling you it's too much, just work out the clean sheet percentages and go with it if you're happy. ward might be on limited minutes this week, hard to tell. but for sure 90 next week

      1. Zco
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This is exactly what I'm thinking thanks

    4. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Too much cash spent on the attack when there is so much value elsewhere. No need to go all in on Burnley (when they are likely blanking in GW 31) and to an extent Watford. I would diversify slightly.

      I agree with the poster above, no need for so much money in the bank - you can always upgrade a midfielder with two transfers later on if needed, no need to limit yourself on a WC.

      All in all, a strong spine to the team and some risks (No City, Chelsea or United players). Respect.

      1. Zco
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks prof - I'm thinking we're due a shift now to strikers scoring more goals. I'm weary of Man City, Chelsea and United fixture-wise and they all have Champions Lg games which will affect them. Watford midfield is a short term punt can easily be upgraded but think they'll do well in the short term. Also play in GW31. With that in mind I'm thinking maybe Ward to Bauer

        1. Pacer.
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Watford midfield is a decent short term punt. Three excellent games i would be happy to field at least one of those 2 for a couple of games

        2. Prøfeßör …
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          That's all fair enough.

          I'm not sure how much more Aubameyang will score than Wilson/ Ayew to justify the price difference but price isn't an issue here.

          I agree about the Watford midfield in that case, especially if you're playing 3-4-3. An almost non-existent benching headache.

          I think Ward to Bauer is worth a punt, if nothing else in preparation for GW 31.

          1. Zco
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Looking long term - love those Arsenal fixtures and think they'll finish strong with Aubamayang amongst the goals. Also offsetting any price rises early. Really not too bothered about defence as long as I have FT cover - think Burnley defence at full strength is a gift for us this season. May just play FH chip GW31 anyway

    5. Ashers74
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Love the front line .. not sure it’s worth getting Doucoure though .. when would you play him? You’d always play the others wouldn’t you? 3.1 itb gives you flexibility but I’d be inclined to upgrade mee to Jones .. still gives you money itb .. good luck

      1. Zco
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Think he provides great cover. Also in decent form so good to have the option of putting him in ahead of dealoufeu or even walcott. Also have the option to downgrade him and one other for Eriksen or someone later on. Having faith in Burnley defence - worth the risk I think

  2. Tmel
    • 15 Years

    Best Mahrez replacement 9.3 or under?

    1. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      dullard: Eriksen
      high risk/reward: Ramsey

      1. Pacer.
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        ramsey is a big differential if you're feeling punty, as nobody will be on him for a few weeks, unless he scores again...

        1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          He's one of the most transferred in isn't he this week?

          1. Pacer.
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            4.5% ownership tho

    2. dunas_dog

      Walcott

  3. asquishypotato

    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I’m a bit stuck, 2 free transfers and worries about my defence and Son

    Fab Elliot
    Alonso Otamendi Kenny Chilwell Ogbonna
    Hazard Salah Choupo Son RLC
    Kane Aguero Ayew

    Tempted by Walcott and save a transfer to sort the defence out next week

    1. In a Rush
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would say your biggest concerns are Kenny Ogbonna and rlc rather than getting rid of son or anyone for wally.unless you can do rlc to wally

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        0 in the bank. Tempted to take Ota out to a united defender then have 2 frees to change the chelsea boys next week

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure what cash you have in bank but Kenny out main priority

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Zero, so Ota and Kenny are the two that I will dump first

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Why does it have to be "man-flu"? I'm sure if Granville has influenza you'd be a bit more concerned. Surely it could state that Granville has a case of the common cold?

    1. Park the bus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      There is definitely more illness around the scout cast mob than any group of grown men I’ve ever seen. Mark especially seems like he needs to sort his diet to boost his immune system. “Toast and jam” won’t be doing you any favours there!

      1. Mysterion
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, Mark could do with a little less jam in his diet 😉

        everyone is sick at the moment, it's crazy. It aint just them. my workplace, ms tamagotchi's workplace, stuffed full of minging sickos

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years

      Only a wuss is concerned about a little flu, "man" variant or not.

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You realise flu kills a large number of people each year?

    3. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Agree. Man flu is a horrible man bashing, sexist term that needs to be stamped out

  9. emyoueffsee

    Should I let the transfer roll for next gw or get in Fernandez for this gw(for Femenia)

    Hennessey
    Ota Jones Alonso

    Kane Firmino Wilson

    Speroni McArthur Kenny Femenia

    1. Gizzachance

      only if your gonna play him this week, or let transfer roll until after fa cup games

  10. Park the bus

    Naughton or Fernandez?

    1. Positive vibes

      Fernandez imo

    2. Gizzachance

  12. What if I stopped playing?

    Deadzone Post

    "What if I stopped playing?" I made a page that'll show you your FPL score if you had stopped playing the game in any given gameweek.

    So if you stopped in gameweek 14 and made no further transfers and didn't change your captain and vice captain choice then you can see what points you'd currently have in gameweek 26 with that "dead team".

    Example for Mark's team - http://anewpla.net/fpl/report-test/stoppedplaying.php?id=370

    He could have stopped playing in gameweek 20 and he'd only have 20 points fewer than his current score.

    http://anewpla.net/fpl/report-test/stoppedplaying.php?id=*add your FPL ID*

    I'll make it prettier tomorrow.

      Can you design something tha will make us feel better about our transfers?
      Quite amusing g tbf

    3. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      pretty horrific to find at gameweek 8 i'd go on the be only 50 points fewer

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

        Damn, mine is +263 from GW8

        1. Pacer.
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          this is going to end some FPL careers

    4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      This is quality, needs to be a HT.

      My week 1 team as a ghost ship would be on 1152. The only time my dead team would outscore would be GW25 (+1), mostly because I changed captain from Salah to Hazard.

    5. TallestJohn
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sensational, thank you. Glad I haven't been wasting my time at any point so far this season!

    6. Four Letter Wirtz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Interesting! If I had stopped after GW16, I'd have 12 more points now than my actual team. Strangely enough, that's precisely when I transferred out Alonso 🙁

    7. Ógie

      Now im just sad that I would have been better off leaving my team at GW 18

    10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years

      ''Tis is great.... none of my stopped playing scores are higher than my total though 🙂 but that's prob a good thing

    11. Rover
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Great work! I'd have been a point better off if I'd stopped playing at the end of August 🙁

    12. Zilla
      • 8 Years

      None were better, not sure whether that's a good or a bad thing. 😀

      Great tool! Good reminder that too much tinkering could be unproductive.

    14. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers mate this is sweet. Just seen Mark's team, the gw 25 "Total Score (Stopped Playing):1537" shouldn't that be 1534 or am I miscalculating? 1476+58

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

        I agree.

      2. fusen
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks Mysterion, this is clearly a reason not to post after midnight. I forgot to add in the auto-substitutions of normal players.

        I've added a big red warning at the top of the page that the stopped playing score doesn't currently include auto-subs of regular players and so will be slightly lower than the real stopped playing score. Which should be scary for some people! 😛

        This is why I wanted to put all the numbers on display so people could catch any glaring errors like this, so thanks again for double checking the numbers.

      3. fusen
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Just going over your numbers, you add up the gameweek before with the total for the gameweek shown, so gameweek 24 actual score is 1434, then the 'gameweek 25' shows 103 points for 25+26, 1434+103 = 'gw 25 stopped playing score'

        but the 103 doesn't include the auto-subs that should happen for gameweek 26 as Christiensen and Alonso doesn't play but only Obgonna got 1 point on the bench and Kenny 0 points, so the real + amount should be 104 and the total should be 1434+104 = 1538

        1. Mysterion
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          And then subtract the hit he took in gw 25 😉

          1434+104-4 = 1534

          1. fusen
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            aha, thanks again! I've just added in transfer hits for the initial gameweek in the snapshot

            1. Mysterion
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Nice! I may have to change my name to Captain Hindsight after a few more weeks or using this 😀

    15. tisza

      So my GW1 dead team would be ranked 1.7m.
      Big jump in score came with 1st wc.
      Earliest I Captained Salah was Gw10. If I had left it then or 733k.

      Gw25 first time I fall behind. 2pts.

      No surprise this tool is good. Anewpla.net best fpl tool out there.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This - way better off than if I'd stopped playing at any time - closest was 10 points difference between GW 25 and 26 - so even that is encouraging.

    17. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

      I am ok each week except the last week, wrong captain choice and Mili on the bench .... but I knew that

      Upvoted it immediately.

      Congrats for the nice work!

      • 14 Years

      Weeks 17, 18 and 20 mean I’d have more points than I do now. What do these have in common? I captained Salah on those weeks...

      Great tool, cheers.

      1. SerenityLater

        Same here!

    20. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      According to this I'd have exactly the same amount of points now if I had stopped playing...so basically all these decision making headaches I'm giving myself are a waste of time!

      Great stuff. I only messed up GW25; otherwise I've been on the ball, mostly 100 points ahead of my deadself.

      Awesome tool. One improvement is that it doesn’t account for auto subs correctly it seems to me. Did my ID (9186), I should be 6 points worse off due to my move of benching Shaqiri last week but I am only 4 points off.

      Excellent, and I look forward to the new improved version.
      I hope that will be another hot topic or an FFS tweet or both.

      One strange effect was that I only scored 26 points in GW11, but my 'stopped playing after GW11' score was easily my highest up to that point. That was probably because I brought Kane back that GW but he was a captain failure.

      My other great leap forward was GW20 when I scored 106, including one of only two successful Kane captaincies.

      But none of my earlier stopped playing scores beats my current score, which is not too surprising considering that I got 62 points and a 47k green arrow in GW26.

          It's okay I've done it id have 8 more points if stopped playing in game week 20 ffs and 19 more points on week 25 can't believe it

    31. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pleased to say that I don't have any GW where if I had stopped playing I would have more points than I have now. Means my transfer policy has been good so far.

      I've added the auto-subbing of players and added some colour

      http://anewpla.net/fpl/report-test/stoppedplaying.php you can enter your ID into the form or go to it like the old way directly e.g.
      http://anewpla.net/fpl/report-test/stoppedplaying.php?id=16628

      If your score for a week is more than your current score then it'll be shown in a red box.

      I should have waited until now to announce it as the earlier numbers when it didn't auto-sub players were often quite a lot lower than the final numbers now. Some players are in for a rude awakening it seems :X

        I've just tried this with Ghost Ship Stilicho's team (id 531200), which did actually stop playing after GW1.
        It's actual score is 1444, so shouldn't all it's 'stopped playing' scores also be 1444?
        Are your projections perhaps based on the GW's team after autosubs rather than always on the starting eleven before autosubs?

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going with Bauer I think for the GW 31. I think he rotates pretty well with Mee but need to look into that further.

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        cheers ,bauer leic away next week, then southampton,{a}then city home in next 3 !

        1. waldo666
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Mee has a pretty good run over the next 3 so I'll probably just play him and bench Bauer, not sure your other defenders though

          1. Gizzachance
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            jones smalling mee zanka,,zanka may not have blank 31 due to having utd in cup,palace already out
            agree mee has few good fixtures,more of a season keeper,cheers

    2. djapebronx
      • 10 Years

      i went fernandez. way more points before the blank, and he still may have a game in 31

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        cheers,thats why i am also looking at swan defender,better fixtures,{only got utd in gw32}may be worth more pts even with a blank

  17. Messsiaah

    Lowton or Bardsley?

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      the one not injured

    2. Jsadler95
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Right now Lowton obviously but who knows when Bardsley's back. Hard to tell. For now Bardsley is staying on my bench.

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        lowtons shirt to lose, like it was bardsley when he took his opportunity

    Thinking Alli > Walcott as I can't afford to do the same move with Lingard. Sound good?
    1FT, 0.9 in the bank.

    Pickford
    Jones - Otamendi - Mee
    Salah - Alli - Sterling - Shaqiri
    Kane - Firmino - Wilson

    Elliot - Dunk - Lingard - Ogbonna

    1. SH

      Save. 2FTs will come good next gw

  19. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    2FT, no pressing issues.
    A) Ogbonna ➡ Fernandez
    B) Lössl ➡ Fabianski
    C) Loftus-Cheek ➡ Milivojević (Andy King) - don't really need the 5th mid.

    1. Messsiaah
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A B both looks good

    2. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bauer over Fernandez?

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Good idea, but Fernandez has nicer fixtures and is 0.1m cheaper.

        1. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Just thinking of the fixture in 31, which you might need

          1. Pariße
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Right, was just about to look into that, haven't paid much attention to GW 31 yet.

    3. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A or B. Depends on other defenders and goalie

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Adrian is the 2nd keeper, all other defenders are from top 5 clubs 🙂

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Then I'd do B since your defense is already really strong

          1. Pariße
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks! I picked Lössl last minute on my wildcard just before the deadline after seeing Pope's fixtures. Didn't really use him much, but Adrian has not been performing well enough, so I reckon I could use an upgrade. The problem is Lössl's fixtures look pretty good atm, but that probably won't help a defence that's conceded 46 times so far.

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              I'd rather lose Adrian tbh

              1. SADIO SANÉ
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Lossl most likely has a GW31 fixture, you can play Fabianski the other games

              2. Pariße
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Hmm, I wasn't really cosidering it since he's 0.3m cheaper.

            2. Bad Kompany
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              They haven't been playing well recently even when they've had nice fixtures they've allowed a few goals. Don't really expect that to change so I'd ship him.

              1. Pariße
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Indeed and he won't be saving penalties every week 🙂 I'll look into GW31 and then decide, you've all been very helpful, thanks!

              2. Bad Kompany
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Actually Sadio Sane has a good point. Unless you're panning to FH in gw31 then it might be better to lose Adrian.

  20. djapebronx
    • 10 Years

    ox to deulofeu a no brainer? or save a better option?

    1. SH

      8 years, 1 month ago

      save

      1. djapebronx
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        think ox is going to start?

  21. Bad Kompany
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Gtg or is a transfer needed to get in a playing defender. 1 ft and 0 itb.

    De Gea (Myhill)
    Alonso Stones Bardsley (Dunk) (Ogbonna)
    Salah(c) Sterling Walcott Lingard (King)
    Kane Kun Wilson

    Would like to save so I can have 2 next week so I know more about gw 31 but am not sure on whether or not I've got enough players playing.

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty certain rival ML leader has done Aguero>Kane FT so it will be Aguero vs Kane. Plan to do Aguero>Kane next week for hit. Should I be overly worried this week??

    4. darkmatt3r

      Which would you play? 1 mid 1 defender.

      1) Walcott
      2) Lingard

      A) Lascelles
      B) Fosu-Mensah
      C) Kenny
      D) take a - 4 hit on one of the above for Daniels

      1. SH
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Walcott Kenny

      2. djapebronx

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I was initially thinking 1 and c, but is Kenny likely to start with Coleman back? like Lascelles but can't see him getting much out of this gw, I've got Alonso in my team too so I'm thinking the hit might be a safer option

    5. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Cap sterling or Kane

      1. TooDifficuIt
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        K

      2. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Salah. Kane between him and Sterling

      3. RIPAguero
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Kane.

    6. TerryVenables
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Prefer to have Walcott or Vardy in your team for the next 4-5 weeks?

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Walcott because he won't blank

      2. SH
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Vardy

      3. RIPAguero
        • 9 Years

        Vardy if price isn't an issue.
