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).

    GTG? 1FT, 1.3m ITB

    Pope
    Alonso Otamendi Jones

    1. FredrikH
      • 13 Years

      Yes.

  2. FredrikH
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane to get limited mins due to Juventus? Torn between him Salah and Haz for the captaincy. Might even punt it om Alonso to catch up.

    1. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Huge game for Kane so don’t think his minutes will be limited. Still captaining Salah though.

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

      U won't catch up that way

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

      Kane had his rest midweek.. can’t see his minutes being reduced given the tightness of the race for 4th ..

    4. Bggz

  6. C-Dawgg
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Has the return of Ben Davis gone a little bit under the radar?

    Fantastic fixtures incoming, attacking wing back in a great defense, started the season as the best player in the game....

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Rosey?

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

      Always the risk of rotation but not so much recently .. if spurs get knocked out of the champions league he’ll be added to my team ..

  7. 1314
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    a) J.Ayew > Wilson
    b) Save FT

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Simpson. Best budged defender available I reckon. Free up some cash for your attack.

      1. Bggz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        i agree. dont get Mee- 2 cs since gw12 ive been waiting for him to come good for 15gws

  9. lamagica

    fabianski
    Otamendi Jones Alonso
    Son Salah Sterling Lindgard
    Wilson Vardy Kane

    Subs: elliot, Ibe, Ogbonna, Mbemba

    2 FT, 2.3 ITB

    Any suggestions?
    A. Lingard to Deulofeu
    B. Lingard, Vardy --> Deulofeu, Firmino

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      id keep 1 ft but dont really like Deulofeu

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ogbonna > Mee
      Or
      Vardy > Aubamayang

      1. Bggz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        not Mee

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Mee is a good pick moving forward. Don't let the recent past cloud your judgment.

          1. Bggz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            dont agree. as above; 2 cs since gw12 ive been waiting for him to come good for 15gws. in that time theyve conceded to New and palace. a lot of those have just been one goal but with 0 goals assists he has very little going for him

            1. BananaNose Maldonado
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              So you are selling him?

              1. Bggz
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                depend on the blanks coming up. i wont get rid if burnley have a fixture im not going to use my FH chip but hes top of my hit list with obgonna and ota. im looking at simpson for value or mcguire if i want to splash out. mawson is a good option but im wary of swansea maintaining

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

    Is Iwobi likely to keep his place?

    Thanks

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

      Very uncertain starter, I'd assume Wilshere comes in for him this gw with a formation change

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

    Kane to auba? Dropped 5k places and feeling punty

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

      Getting rid of Kane with the fixtures he has coming up is silly

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Auba has rough fixtures so no

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

      Only if you want to drop more

    5. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Getting Kane after deadline...

  12. RIDZ
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    With Alder played last night, he would be perfect to replace Chelsea defender next week. I am on Azpi to Alder next week, yes or no?

    1. 1314
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      keep monitoring

        ok thanks, and between smalling and naughton,wich one to prefer?

    2. Red Card Rockets
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A & C

  14. Red Card Rockets
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I thought I should make major changes, but maybe just hold?

    Fabianski
    Monreal, Alonso, Jones, Mee
    Salah (C), De Bruyne (V), Sterling, Ramsey
    Firmino, Kane

    First sub: Ogbonna

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You have some good players there. I'd hold

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      looks fine

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

      That's a great team mate. I'd definately hold

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

    Hi guys,

    Would you do:
    a) Alli > Walcott
    b) Alli > KDB / Haz
    c) Christ > Anyone?!

    Used my FH already so thinking about GW31. Have 2.0ITB

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

      A then

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Alli's good fixtures start very soon, keep him.
      Ditch Christensen

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

        And hold FT over FA cup break to see who else is playing in GW31? Or get Mawson etc now?

        1. Duffy Dunk
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I'm not that patient to keep a transfer that long, so doing Chr->Mawson doesn't look bad. I did Mustafi->Fernandez to save some money.

  16. amit1964
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    wich are the teames secure for gw31?

  17. Francescoli
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Captain Kun? Good to go?

    DDG
    Smalling Jones Dunk
    Salah Sterling Mhiki Ramsey Shaqiri
    Kane Aguero (c)

    Adrian; TAA, Lascelles, Quaner

    0FT 0.0ITB

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why not captain Salah?

  18. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Schm
    Alonso Jones VVD Mee
    Salah (C) Sterling Son Ramsey
    Kane (VC) Aguero

    g2g?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Schm could get save points from Sterling misses.

  19. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Don't really get why there are so many Alonso sellers. I think he's a season keeper.

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

      Agree

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

      Maybe because he has 0, 1 in last 2 games plus Man Utd and Man City away after West Brom plus Chelsea not performing recently... 😮

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I see him more like a player who can do well for himself even if his team have a bad day.

        1. Red Card Rockets
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          If he plays

          1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            He's hardly missed all season. Spud comment.

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

        This. And he's so expensive.

  20. Nigawan
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    hey guys ! just wondering for WC, would you rather

    a) keep DDG or
    b) use the funds else where?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      a

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      keep

  21. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who should be first on the bench?
    A) Fraser
    B) Fernandez

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

      B

  22. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    The good thing about defenders is they generally play or don't play.
    Less chance of cameos so my strategy has been 5 playing defenders.
    Alonso Ota Jones Mee Gomez at present so I clearly have cover.
    I have to use an FT so on what?
    Mids and Forwards are already set and any changes will take 2 FT's
    Thinking Ota but I am scared he will play and get points this week.
    No FT so any move is going to be GW31 players.

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      i let a FT pass this season for the first time ever i think

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I have never done it either.
        I am a cowboy that takes hits regularly.
        I can't waste the tfr cause I need GW31 players.

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Goalkeeper?

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Pope and Adrian.
        Thinking Adrian Hennessy but I would like to be sure the Palace game is on before I twist.
        Pope in danger of going out to Heaton and I don't want Hennesy as cover either.

  23. Bggz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Ive done an about turn and put the armband on Alonso.

    WBA the perfect rebound team?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Could be, but Chelsea have just conceded 7 to Bournemouth and Watford. It'd be weird for this to continue but I wouldn't captain him.

      1. Bggz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        ive been stuck at 200k for weeks now. time for a differential.

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

      Don't like their current team form, seems spirit has gone. I wouldn't risk.
      KDB, Firmino could be other punts.

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

    Play Niasse or Mili?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Having Niasse would drive me insane. Milo won't get the penalties without Zaha.
      Don't know your side but I would leave both on the bench.

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

        My team:

        DDG - Elliot

        Alonso - Otamendi- Naughton - Kenny - Ogbonna

        Sanchez- Salah - Sterling - Lingard - Mili

        Kane - Wilson - Niasse

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

      Mili.

  25. theBoose
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Wildcard.. stick or twist?

    Stick:
    Pope Elliot
    Alonso Mee Otamendi Ogbonna Fernández
    Salah Son Deulofeu Sterling Walcott
    Kane Firmino DCL

    Twist:
    Butland Lössl
    Fernández Mee Bauer Davies Otamendi
    Salah KDB Deulofeu Ramsey Milivojevic
    Kane Aubameyang Wilson

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Go one on one. Will you really make a step forward with the twist side? Especially when the WC will reap benefits GW 32 onward.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Have some fun and go for it

    3. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No need to wildcard now.
      It'll be a lot more valuable before the doubles.

  26. Zlat-man
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Play Kenny or Dunk? Or TC?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kenny

    2. AnderEstimatedHerrera
      • 9 Years

      Tarroll

  27. RIPAguero

    Fabianki
    Otamendi Jones Christensen
    Salah (C) Sterling Son Walcott Shaqiri
    Kane Firmino

    Adrian, J Ayew, Ogbonna, Kenny
    2m 1FT

    I'm tempted to roll my transfer, any Christensen news?

  28. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    burning question. Will pope play this weekend?

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

      Month ago Dyche said Heaton is back to trainings.
      Yesterday he said Heaton is back to full trainings.
      So I assume there will not be white smoke for new Pope coming few weeks.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Burning question anyway.

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, Heaton back this weekend.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not too serious but time to sell anyway.

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

        oh nooo
        finally! 😀
        sold him 2 weeks ago for Pickford, and he punished me with an 11-pointer.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          As soon as Heaton sticks on the shirt.

  29. AnderEstimatedHerrera

    Don't want to lose a ft, can use it for BGW31. Who should I ditch?
    Ota to Bauer? this will enable KDB&Niasse to Firmino&Walcott transfer next week.
