Scoutcast: Granville returns for Joe’s final appearance

It’s not quite all abooooard for Joe’s final Scoutcast appearance but there is the return of a very familiar face to mark the departure of the artist formerly known as ‘Jonty’ from the evening show.

The original co-host Granville (aka Lee) is back for a trip down memory lane, alongside new guest Flapjack.

It’s a nostalgia fest as the long-lost segment ‘Granny’s Miffed’ makes a return, while there’s a look back at some classic Scoutcast moments from its early heyday – including the vicious dismemberment of Mark’s Wildcard.

There’s plenty of time for more present matters, of course, with a look at Gameweek 16 plans, one-week punts, some post-World Cup planning and the community Q&A.

The video can be viewed below or over on our YouTube page, while a podcast of it is widely available.

    So I contacted Official FPL support last weekend about the deadline issues and just recieved a reply... if it's helpful to anyone.

    Re: Gameweek 15 Deadline

    Hi [name],

    Thank you for getting in touch.

    This week there was an extremely high volume of team updates taking place within the game just before the deadline and, due to technical issues that our dedicated team worked hard to resolve prior to the deadline, it led to some managers being unable to make changes during this period. We’re aware of this problem and as a priority we’re working on a solution to prevent it happening again in the future.

    Once the deadline has passed it's no longer possible for managers to make team updates. Unfortunately, in order to maintain integrity within the game, we're therefore unable to take any retrospective action to make changes to FPL teams.

    Again, we're sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

    Kind regards,
    Fantasy Premier League Support

      Integrity had already been lost when we were unable to make changes within the allowed time period.

      1. Feanor
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        You should ask for a refund.

          Well, we are their Product who help to drive TV revenues, sponsorship deals, etc.

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      At least their team is dedicated.

    3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      So a priority solution to prevent it happening again....all aboard at 11.15 then. This time I don't mind as my bus team should be good enough if it goes breasts up...

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Make that 10.45am - getting earlier and earlier to cheat...

    4. Jerse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1 year, 5 months ago

      It's a free game, so am not sure what you expect. Also, it's basically cheating when you are privy to team leaks that others may not have. Therefore those waiting until the last minute for these team leaks probably getting just desserts. Also , this has happenned a few times before, so it's quite simple, dont leave changes until the last minute. It's only a fantasy game after all.

  5. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    2FT's, which do you prefer? Thanks :

    A - Mount & Mitro > Almiron & Darwin
    B - Mount & Mitro > Trossard & Jesus

    1. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      I should state that I do have Wilson & Trippier from Newcastle and Salah from Liverpool but no Brighton or Arsenal attack whatsoever!! So does this make B the better pick maybe?

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        B

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      B

  6. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    A. Get a forward (max 7.1m) for Mitro and bench Andreas.

    or

    B. Do KDB to Salah and let Andreas sub for Mitro.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Which forward?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        You're not going to love this, but Watkins.

  7. Aaa
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Worth a -4?

    Cancelo/Saka(or Foden)/Scamacca -> Perisic/Trossard/Darwin?

    Ward
    Trippier/Zouma/*
    Salah/Foden/Martinelli/*
    Haaland/Wilson/*

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      No

  8. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Guyz any help here would be appreciated

    Draft league question:

    I currently own Auba in my draft team.

    A) would you hold on to him and hope he will come good after the WC break
    B) get someone like DCL or Watkins??

    1. FPL_trail_runner
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Id sell him for almost any other forward in the league

      He is in terminal decline, a rotation risk and in a team creating nothing

      Get any player you can over him

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Thanks mate

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Dcl is injured won't play this weekend and watkins can't finish his dinner.. Get darwin/Bobby /jesus or even solanke imo.

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Cheers, none of them are available unfortunately, will have to get DCL/Watkins or some others.

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          Yes get DCL and captain.

  9. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Anyone thinking of getting Zaha in please don't. You know he will troll you and I will get caught in that crossfire...

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      No need

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      WC the week after if he does

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      He's playing OOP now with Eduardo injured.

  10. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Which option:

    A) Ward + Perisic
    B) Ederson + Guehl

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      B

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      A

  11. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Bench ONE defender?

    A) Shaw
    B) Trippier
    C) Guehi

    Bench ONE attacker?

    A) Wilson
    B) Andreas
    C) Solanke

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

      CB

  12. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Guaita
    Trippier, Cancelo, Dunk
    Salah, Zaha, Almiron, Martinelli,
    Haaland (c), Alvarez, Solanke

    Ward, Neco, Guehi, Andreas

    1ft 6.4itb

    My transfer is very likely Alvarez > Kane.

    Which defence combination?

    A Guaita and Dunk
    B Ward and Guehi

  13. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Seriously considering captaining Cancelo this week AGAIN!!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Maybe this time Haaland red card? 😉

      1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        That's what my crystal ball says!

  14. The Mentaculus

    I'm interested to know what kind of bench everyone is planning for post-WC. Given that we just have 1 WC for 21 GW, are you going stronger than the average Andreas/Neco/Guehi type? Anyone considering picking 12 'starters' & benching a mid-pricer every week?

    Been tinkering & my TV is on the cusp of two approaches: threemium with a weak bench & a couple corners cut (White over Gabriel, max 4.5 GK), or a very luxurious two premium + 10 mid pricers & 2 cheaper bench options.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Andreas patterson will be popular... May be Summerville and mitoma too.

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Plus bailey neco... Seems alot of intersecting cheap options this year.

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          Interesting* lol

      2. The Mentaculus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Yeah I'm pretty sure Patterson will be my new Neco. Thinking of switching to 352 but would be a shame to lose Andreas

    2. FPL_trail_runner
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      I tinkered today and came up with this for week 17 onwards ( i would bench boost this week to allow all funds in my 11)

      Pope
      Trippier Dalot White Cancelo
      Rashford KDB Salah Martinelli
      Wilson Haaland
      Fodder, Bailey , Greenwood , Fodder

      With Arsenal having only OK fixtures can go without Saka initially - the alternative is turn Bailey and KDB to Foden + Saka

      But i really like Bailey option to rotate in for Dalot + Wilson from week 19

      1. The Mentaculus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Bailey makes a nice 12th man / rotation option. So much easier with 4 mid formations. Guess its just 352 that's making things complicated for me

  15. Oggle22
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Obviously no one knows the answer but why do we think Pep has been limiting Fodens game time? Reckon as he knows hes in the England squad and pep wants to give grealish more game time to play his way in? Or has Foden upset Pep? Is he a keeper sell this week?

    Cheers

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Grealish gametime before WC imo too.. But it didn't go very well but Southgate will pick him anyways.

  16. dansully3
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Bowen is annoying me, ship him to? Have saka, mart, almiron, foden with him atm.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      If there's a route to get salah instead, may be yes otherwise i might keep and hope he gets an attacking returns as there's no other options i would trust (may be zaha/kulu/trossard/rashford) but not sure it worth a ft tbh.

      1. dansully3
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        I know it's a dilemma now with foden not playing too. I had trossard and can't believe how well he's still doing. Salah is way out of budget. Kulu would have been my pick if I didn't have arry. Rashford is brutal away from home but it is v Fulham.
