It’s Jonty’s time to curry sympathy this week and he’s on the receiving end of a barrage of cyber-bullying from co-host Granville.

Determined to the belittle Jonty’s Wildcard performance following Callum Wilson’s hat-trick, Granville takes to Twitter before roasting him live on air on the ScoutCast. He seems to have totally missed the fact that I too sold on Wilson as part of my own Wildcard; I’m quite happy for Jonty to play Patsy on this one.

Jonty rolls with the virtual punches to join us as we look back on the Gameweek that saw all three of us refresh our squads. We score our Wildcards out of ten, before scanning the community for Gameweek tales in “Rough with the Smooth”.

We then take on your questions, as we assess Pedro’s pedigree, the lure of Aleks Kolarov and the merits of a well-rounded squad in the light of the FPL chips.

This ScoutCast was first broadcast live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday. Be sure to subscribe to our channel for news of upcoming live Casts. You can view the broadcast in full via the larger player below but, if you prefer the edited audio version, you’ll need this link or the smaller player.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    West Ham were trying to flog Carroll to Sevilla!!!

    1. Ayew Serious

      He could physically destroy teams in La liga

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        if he doesn't physically destroy himself. Not professional enough to sustain a full season, poor diet, lifestyle and attitude.

                why don't you do some research on it?

                I worked in Dubai for a couple of years. A lad i knew worked on the radio he was a big Newcastle fan,he took carrol out for a drink. He said he'd necked 3 pints while he was still on his first! True story

        • 13 Years

        He probably could, but I'm not sure his injuries problems would improve to the point where he could show it,

  2. zaydon
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    is target starting this week?

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, might be his last game with Berty probably back after the break

  3. sully29

    Starting to regret having both Silva and Yaya rather than Kolarov...

      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Just think about how you won't have to wait until the end to see if you got a clean sheet. That can add years to your life.

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        True, plus every goal they concede will cheer me up.

  4. cogs

    Anyone triple captaining Aguero this weekend?

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years

      Nobody is

      1. cogs
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        interesting

        1. MattyH
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          save all chips till end of season imo

    2. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Hold it for a double GW

  5. Seb Wassell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Pelle & Payet > Costa & Westwood

    -4

    Worth doing?

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Payet is currently benched.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Could you not just wait and do it for free? Pelle has a good fixture this week....

      1. Seb Wassell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        It's the potential price change on Costa unfortunately.

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Hmm, then I think I might do it if I were you. Costa is the best Chelsea option imo and Pelle will have to go soon anyway.

          1. Seb Wassell
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks for the thoughts. It would be possible to do it later (0.5m ITB), but I reckon I'll be needing that 0.5 for when my GKs stop playing (Myhill and Mccarthy)

            1. Seb Wassell
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              ..hence the above price concern.

    3. Helia
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Id do it

  6. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Wilson ... Get him or ignore ?

    I have Diouf & Gomis at the moment.

    Selling Diouf (WBA) seems not a good idea, so it's Gomis who I bought at 7.0m and now 7.3m

    Will Wilson (LEI, nor, SUN, sto, WAT) significantly outscore Gomis (MUN, wat, EVE, sot, TOT) ?

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      If you have those two already ignore him.

      IMO every attack should be Aguero + 2 of Tekkers/Gomis/Diouf/Wilson at the moment, but don't sweat too much over which two you have.

      1. @BigChrisso
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        this is great advice

      2. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, I have Kun + Diouf + Gomis at the moment.

        I think the game with United and Wilson's fixture + price rise temp me.

        Hope the patience pay off.

      3. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        This

    1. skeanos
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      The thing you shouldn't ignore is how bad west ham are.

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I assume that we cannot conclude yet if Wilson & co will continue scoring.

        Gomis & co are proven.

        That's true.

    2. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I prefer Gomis to be honest with you. Consistency over flair for me.

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thank you. I haven't watched Wilson & Bournemount much and not sure how they are.

        I guess Ranieri will park the bus and do the counter.

        That might limit Wilson's chance .... or not.

        1. Seb Wassell
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          He looks good, but he was gifted at least two of those three goals. There's a reason everyone was selling him before this weekend, his fixtures haven't changed since then!

          1. NATSTER
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I guess he has penalty duty in the pocket now. The last goal should be produced by team efforts rather than a surprise gift.

            For the 2nd goal, I agree that it was really a gift. Premier League DF would not do something like that often. It's not because of pressure from Bournemouth.

            Anyway, I think I can somehow come up with many good reasons to support Gomis -> Wilson. But I do agree that I might wait on this and continue watching if Wilson is the real deal.

      Payet to Pedro for me.

      1. Starky

        How will he fund it ?

          2. Starky
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            He can sell Payet for 7,5, and Pedro costs 9,5. Not enough.

          3. sleecc
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            7.5 + 1.1 = 8.6 how? Pedro is 9.5.

        Cannot afford with that much left ITB, I will have to downgrade someone from the team to get Pedro next GW. Who'd you downgrade?

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years

          Ward to Staylor

          1. sleecc
            • 10 Years

            Still cannot afford ~0.4 short.

            1. GreennRed
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              Diouf to Deeney/Wilson.

              1. sleecc
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 5 months ago

                That seems to be one of the way I have been considering, and only if either one of them are performing. Cheers for the feedback.

      3. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        By the way, I'm all about some payet to pedro myself. But on account of the price it will have to be Depay to Payet for me.

        1. sleecc
          • 10 Years

          Cheers!

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Tempted by Payet -> Coutinho with that fund ITB.

      Anyway, that move might be luxury. It's GTG.

      1. sleecc
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Agree, Coutinho is a good player, but still doubt he is a good FPL material. Cheers!

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          I have the same front three, but with Yaya + Depay instead of Silva + Payet.

          If the price change force, I think I might do either Depay -> Coutinho for free or take -4 to Pedro. But I don't like that much.

          1. sleecc
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I think I am going to hold until next GW instead of a hit, either ways would be a good options.

      I took a 4pt hit Pelle>Wilson Payet>Pedro 🙂

      1. sleecc
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I'd say Pelle ATM is worse than either Diouf/Gomis, so I think it makes sense.

          Don't care, if I'm getting a Villa defender he's my 5th defender who I never really want to play anyway. Price the only consideration past nailed-ness of which both are.

            Yes, yes, so very much . . .

    3. Greenbackbøøg…

      Tekkers

    4. NATSTER

      If you don't have Gomis yet, I would go Benteke for fixtures.

      1. zaydon
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        tekkers

      2. Murder On Zidane's Flo…
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I already have gomis and it would be for a hit. I planned to switch tekkers with gomis after liverpool play man u initially

    5. nichborn
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Gomis

    6. Nobodinho
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Benteke

    7. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Benteke

  13. BKLYNRed
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez + Houlihan + Dann

    OR

    Coutinho + Cabale + Darmian

    each would be the only player from their team.

    1. BKLYNRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Coutinho + Cabaye + Darmian (autocorrect!)

    2. MattyH
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Probably coutinho etc,

      Liverpool have 3/4 'easy' home games
      Palace have difficult fixtures, I think more likely to score than CS
      United defence looks solid atm

  14. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Wildcard done I think

    Courtois , McCarthy

    Kolarov , Saylor , Cedric , Sagna , Gomez

    Mahrez , Sanchez , Pedro , Coutinho , Westwood

    Wilson , Aguero , Tekkers

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Sort of different. Don't mind it, but don't love it. Double Liverpool attack makes little sense to me given the form they've shown unless you are convinced they will turn the corner with these fixtures coming up.

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't double up on Liverpool attack, only scored 2 goals so far

    3. @BigChrisso
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Solid team

      Coutinho is an indulgence, i'd prefer Chadli (read somewhere that he's been involved in 5 of the 7 big chances created by Spurs thus far).

      Saylor going to hold his place with Janmaat back?

  15. theBoose
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    is coates + kane > kolarov + wilson worth it for a hit..?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      No

    2. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years

      Yeah, I kind of think so.

      1. Ayew Serious

        This, Oh, so very much this

          I havent actually read the post! I just had to do this

            i presumed this was the case 😛

      So you can get rid of Silva

        It's an interesting one. Last night folks were saying KDB on the right.

        His TOTS works well as ST for me in FIFA 🙂

              Show off! Price caps killed me I had 3 million coins all from trading at one stage! Spent it all on a the best possible bpl team

              3 weeks later it was worth 700k!

              I like the price ranges, but not in the middle of the game

              1. 4vets

                10 years, 5 months ago

                Imho, trading got easier with the caps when you find your target.

                You on PS4?

                Just about to go to bed... but.... 🙂

                  I agree trading got easier but they came out of no where and killed my money, since then I have played fck all fifa!

      2. Marknlard
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Getting ahead of myself but I think he could clean up the points. At a similar price to Pedro, then I'd prefer him over Silva.

        1. 4vets
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Just have Silva in the mean time 🙂

          1. Marknlard
            • 16 Years

            That is some excellent logic. 🙂

    Yay or nay?

    1. Walsh

      Nay

    2. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…

      Here I draw the line. Not this. So very much not this.

    3. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years

      Is rather just bench then take a hit out

    4. Nobodinho

      Cheers all

    5. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      If Sakho doesn't play, your sub will take place and give you points.

      Anyway, it depends on your feeling.

      A: How bad will you feel if Wilson do nothing this week and return 2 points after a hit to get him ?
      B: How bad will you feel if Wilson really do something this week and you did not get him ?

      If you think you will feel bad with B rather than A, I would do that trade.

      It's a game and we play it for fun.

      1. Nobodinho
        • 11 Years

        Thanks Natster.

      No. For free, yes

  18. MattyH
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Bench Payet or Montero?

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Quick question! Would you not just pick a sub?

      1. MattyH
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        What dyou mean?

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Montero

    3. Nobodinho
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Montero

    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    My 3 step criteria I think to pulling an early WC in the international break:

    + Depay blanks
    + Hazard blanks
    + Arsenal or Man U sign somebody you can't ignore

    The two players above are fantastic players but I don't think I could stomach potential double price falls over the two weeks. Furthermore there'll be the catch 22 of not wanting to use FTs at the start of the international break because I just know if I do that, whoever I get in will get injured in their internationals.

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      The first 2 might happen
      The 3rd is laughable

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        For both teams I'm willing to stretch that statement to cover any striker who might start games.

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Fellaini?

            • 12 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Mahrez to Fellaini when the Mahrez money train runs out looks like a real possibility!

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      You could just use one transfer early and use the other later. Seems simple enough to me.

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry, its 1FT and an impending 4 point hit, but yes I could shift whoever's falling faster, which will likely be Depay with 4 blanks in a row if it happens.

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Wouldn't fault you. I'm holding steady with Memphis myself, even if he blanks again.

            • 12 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I really really want to because I love him as a player, but if he starts falling fast I'd be tempted to jump ship and jump back on after his first haul. I might stick on principle because I told Innsie I'm 100% keeping him until at least the Sunderland game.

            1. Walsh
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              Seems silly justification to keep him because you told a virtual friend you would do so 🙂 I think his stats are such that he will begin to return sooner rather than later. Not too bothered if he drops .1 or .2. He will gain it back after he has a couple of good games easily. Gonna play the long game with Memphis.

      Good that you're warming it up . . .

  19. Sardines in the Sea

    Mane & Gomis to Costa & Westwood for a hit?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Mental

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Just trade mane for free

    3. @BigChrisso
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Why ditch Gomis?

      No

  20. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Are we expecting Diouf to go up tonight?

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I say Unlikely, highly unlikely

    2. sleecc
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Unpredictable, Wilson went up when he was just above 90% from FPL stat.

    3. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Nope, doesn't look like it.

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Very good. If he goes up then unlucky

  21. Grumpy Camel
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Are we being a little over optimistic with ManC v Watford @ the Etihad?
    Watford so far this season
    GW1 away v Everton (2-2) First game nerves and led twice despite 33% possession (5 shots each on target)
    GW2 home v West Brom (0-0) Kept it tight, 64% possession, WBA 0 shots on target
    GW3 home v Southhampton (0-0) 13 shots (0 on target), SOT 14 shots (5 on target)

    I am going in with 3 City players but I'm not sure its going to be the massacre many of us are hoping for.

    1. Nobodinho
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I might have Kolarov(C) instead.

    2. sleecc
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      City can even destroy the blue bus, not sure whether Watson can stop them. But I don't think it is going to be a high scoring game.

      1. sleecc
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        *Watson LOL Watford

    3. @BigChrisso
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I am tempted to captain Hazard as Watford have been ok thus far.

      With all due repect to Everton, WBA and Southampton they are half the attacking threat Man City are with Silva pulling the strings...

      Now i'm just confusing myself. UGH

    4. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Nor am I, but it's about playing the percentages, and the bookies certainly think that match will produce some goals of Man City. Also, Watford's tightness has been at home, so while it might not be an avalance, it could be some points.

      1. Grumpy Camel
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Kolorov is an interesting choice for the armband. Its clearly a key fixture and I'm mostly a dullard so Kun(c) is pretty set for me. Im just not that confident (no triple captain chip for example)

        1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          No chips or punty captains necessary in my view. At this stage of the season just get points. Having three City players plays the percentages ideally, and Aguero is the best percentage play.

  22. bigdog69

    butland myhill

    Opinions?

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years

      like your front 3 a lot better than the rest of the team. You should do well this week, but the MF needs some work

      1. bigdog69
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        have wildcard on any opinions, considering coutinho to chadli and mata to pedro

        1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          If on WC, then Mata to Pedro and Costa to Benteke, and upgrade Barkley, Albrighton to Marhez. Just thoughts.

          1. bigdog69
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            just think costa could bag about 20 goals this season provided he didnt get injured and barkley seems good for price, i do like pedro though

  23. Murder On Zidane's Flo…

    Ok lads GTG

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years

      Looks good. Cannot express accurately with words how much I dislike your hit proposal.

        • 13 Years

    3. Starky
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      GTG, no need for a hit

    4. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      You have Wilson and Kun for good fixtures this week.

      Gomis might have MUN this week, but wat next.

      Benteke might have WHU this week, but mun next.

      I think the move can wait. 🙂

    5. Murder On Zidane's Flo…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Cheers lads. Also do you think its wise playing Romero over Butland this week. WBA have only scored against chelsea so far and chelsea's defence is shocking at the minute anyway lol

  24. Jacques The Lad
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Pelle + Gomis > Diouf + Tekkers (-4) or wait until next week?

    1. Jacques The Lad
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Leaning towards waiting

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Silly moves

    2. @BigChrisso

      10 years, 5 months ago

      Wait

    3. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I love doing Pelle to Diouf right now.

    4. Starky
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely no reason for this.

    5. Jacques The Lad

  25. Sparrer
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    I know this is an idiotic move, but at about 5am this morning I couldn't sleep and took a hit to swap Gomis and Payet out for Wilson and Pedro.

    YOLO.

    Anyone out there prepared to tell me it's a great move and I'm some sort of modern day hero?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      It's done. You know it was impulsive and foolish, but I hope it works out for you Sparrer 🙂

      1. Sparrer
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks Walsh. My logic was really just that I wanted Pedro in and would have more fun supporting this combo than the last two! 🙂

        1. Walsh

      Three days ago I did Gomis to Wilson so I could do Depay to Pedro, which I will probably do tomorrow. No, not foolish, but many will tell you it is unwise. Probably is, but I wanted Wilson and Pedro in my team, so that is what I did.

        Same thoughts - after watching wham vs bournemouth last week and realising I wanted wham to score... yeah, that's no fun, I want to be cheering on the cherries!

      same move i made after some research and thought it through

        Awesome, glad I'm not alone! I got burned last season putting off bringing in Aguero and Tadic for a -4 to avoid the hit - only to also avoid something like a 40 point haul between them. That's the worst feeling!

    If Mertesacker drops in price I will be upset, very upset.

      Don't be so pessimistic.

    Patience.

    Resist the temp of price rise.

    Pretend like you never know it.

    Let's play for points rather than price.

    Telling myself to keep hold on Gomis & Diouf and do not transfer Wilson in.

      I think you're playing the game the right way, mate.

        Thanks for re-assuring. 🙂

      Everyone seems so sure Swans are going to do a number on United that I can't help but feel it's a shutout in waiting. I also know Wilson is bound to fail this week, which means he probably won't just to troll us. With that in mind - do it 😀

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        With Wilson's potential price rise, I have about 10 minutes more to resist the force.

        🙂

      And you're telling yourself the right thing.

    Pedro (c). Yeah, I'm crazy 😛

      I don't think that's crazy at all.

      Could be amazing

    Wilson to score another hatrick and raise to 6.1 by next weekend

      Hopefully, but unlikely!

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      haha..

      The first part is possible. But not the second part.

      If he got another 0.1 by tomorrow, the best he can be is 5.9 by next Gameweek deadline.

      Or Huth breaking his leg in the 10th minute leaving everyone in despair.
