Following on from Halloween, it’s time to revisit a horror show Gameweek from Granville.

Having gathered an array of green arrows in recent weeks, my ScoutCast co-host produced a pair of transfer howlers, watching on from behind the sofa as both Philippe Coutinho and Riyad Mahrez banged nails into his Gameweek coffin.

Jonty and I do our best to dwell on Granville’s misery for as long as possible, before attempting to cheer him up with similarly scary tales from the community in “Rough with the Smooth”.

We then take on your questions, debating Leicester’s legs, United’s decline and whether we can actually tame the Fantasy Football troll that is Romelu Lukaku.

This episode of the ScoutCast was broadcast live on Tuesday evening (before the news on Hector Bellerin’s injury) via our YouTube channel.

You can catch the full un-edited version of this episode via the larger player below, or take in the “polished” audio effort via this link or the smaller player.

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

    Dawson to whom?
    A) Smalling, worth the money?
    B) Rojo, will he play every week?
    C) Moreno

    1. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Smalling short term if you can afford him

    2. chonks
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      C and pick up DDG for manu cover

  2. gooberman

    Find it surprising that Rojo isnt on the watchlist. Seems to be nailed at left back, good fixtures for Man Utd who have been good defensively and only 5.4.

    1. chonks
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      do not hAVE HIM but true that

  3. Littlefish92

    Thinking of taking out kompany and putting in betrand our rojo what people think

    1. bennyp
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Kompany. Is there anyone else you can take out?

      1. Littlefish92
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Bellerin our clyne our Toby for ward as want to get the funds for aguero when he is back as Costa did nothing for me

  4. Nickk
    • 10 Years

    I got asked in work today who I thought the most underrated footballer was in the last few years.
    I answered Sergio Busquets. And oh boy I got a lot of stick for that.

    My reasoning is, he was promoted from La Masia by Guardiola, went straight into the Barca side along with Pedro. He won 16 club trophies in the space of 4 years, also an integral part of Spain's 3 trophies in 4 years... Does his job, does all the dirty work, and yet never gets the praise he deserves. When people look back at how good Barcelona were, he'll always be the last person people will mention.

    What do you think?

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Is he underrated? I rate him very highly.

      1. Nickk
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I believe so. Same with Carrick at Man United for example.

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

      Falls over too much.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think its just a product of the position he plays, but yes I really really like him.

    3. Ayew Serious

      KRYCHOWIAK> Busquets

      1. Nickk
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ayew serious??

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          He's the nest DM in the world

    4. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Meh... he is good, but at least ten other players in the world can do that same job in Barca equally well

      1. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Lol.

    5. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Shawcross.

    6. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's the best DM of the last decade. Not sure he's underrated.

      1. Meinhoff
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        LOOL

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Name a better one except from maybe Alonso.

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Busquets , Alonso and Essien are the three that came off the top of my head from the last decade . Anyone else I am forgetting ?

            1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Does Pirlo qualify as a defensive mid ?

              1. Ayew Serious
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                No definitely not

          2. CunkOnFPL
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Probably one of the best
            Scholes, Schweinsteiger, Yaya, Mascherano in discussion

            1. Beavis
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              I'd only count Mascherano as a DM out of those personally. And that would be my top 3. Busquets, Alonso, Mascherano.

    7. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not underrated, just widely disliked.

  5. bennyp
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry, bottomed. GTG?

    DDG - (Hennessey)
    Kompany - Moreno - VVD - (Dier - Simpson)
    KDB - Mane - Sanchez - Barkley - (Drinkwater)
    Lukaku - Vardy(c) - Kane

    1 FT & 0.5 ITB.

    Hold transfer?

    1. baraka1670
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hold

    2. Silky_Smooth ~
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd hold. Jealous at how for me to get my team how I like its going to take at least 4 weeks!

  6. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Butland (McCarthy)
    van Dijk - Francis - Cédric (Nyom,Souaré)
    Mahrez - De Bruyne - Eriksen - Sánchez(C) (Westwood)
    Lukaku - Vardy - Kane

    1 Ft, 3.9 mil in the bank

    A) Souaré -> Smalling
    B) Souaré -> Moreno
    C) Eriksen -> Özil / YaYa
    D) save

    Remy Garde

    "The Frenchman prefers a possession-based style of football, with an onus on taking the game to the opposition. His Lyon side conceded more goals than you’d have expected for a team challenging at the higher echelons of the table, though, which will be a slight concern given the fragility of the Villa rearguard."

    Sounds promising for City...

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      so basically... captain de bruyne

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Or Bony if you have him

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I can't stand the Bony love. He has been so average from what I've seen. Just profiting from being in that team... but then again. outside of Pelle, Vardy and recently Lukaku and Kane there isn't really much else going..

          1. Belalugozi78
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Giroud

            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            profit is profit however you cut it. Giroud would be nowhere near as good a prospect in a mid table team either.

    2. Nickk
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks!!

    3. Numb
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      And...

      "Here's the major bad thing about Garde's Lyon teams. The number of individual errors that their defenders make is staggering. Lyon consistently have an excellent attack but the individual errors at the back have cost them so many points. Now, maybe this means that Garde is just a big picture guy, that he's not drilling the team on their concentration, positioning, etc. I honestly believe it's a product of him having such a young and inexperienced team. However, you can certainly see that he's not a defensive taskmaster."

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Proud moment to own Richards

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

        Dejan Lovren played for Lyon under Garde, I'm guessing he was one of the major culprits.

        1. Numb
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Lovren would have been a good defender in that league to be fair

      3. Sharkytect
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Who said this?

  8. Oz lotto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Kolarov surely gets this one week before the rotation fiasco starts right?

    Would work well and enables me to hold off on a Spurs defender until after they face Arsenal!

  9. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    couple of quick questions
    1) martial >> lukaku worth it before the home game vs wba..might move to central pos
    2) best def upto 4.1? simpson nailed on? fuchs is available
    3) has ryan bennett of norwich above the pecking order of whittaker now?

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I just did 1.. wanted to avoid the drop mainly. if its bites me in the backside then oh well

      Fuchs is a good shout.
      No idea about Norwich. irrelevant FPL wise given the amount of goals they concede imo

    2. FEASTER
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1 is a good move unless you're planning to use that spot for Kun in thepnext few weeks, in which case I wouldn't bother.

      I've been wondering the same thing about Ryan Bennett. Would prefer to save my 3rd Leicester spot for Drinkwater when I need Aguero cash than to get Simpson.

    3. UnitednationsXI

      thx

  10. Lallana_
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Some great price v value defenders/keepers right now:

    Simpson
    Moreno
    De Gea
    Cedric
    Cathcart/Nyom
    Hennessey

    Did I miss any?

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ake

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Oh and Wolly

    2. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I have had cedric since the start and he is repaying the faith now. Moreno is one I have my eyes on... Dier at 5.2 playing OOP and getting forward a bit is also a good shout.

      1. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        If only Can was listed as a defender for his role at CB last season

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I would be all over that. even at that price he is worth a shout as a 5th mid. Nailed and looks the goods.

        2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          And Brunt

    3. Harper_

      Sagna

    4. kkx07

      Ward

      1. boredjames
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Defintely Ward. Good fixtures and he ia very attacking. Might go for him over Moreno

    5. thattreblefeeling

    Rojo unlikely to rise tonight is he?

    1. Gooner97

      Yes but who knows

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ

  12. A La Pelle
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So only a few people think Sanchez will bring home the bacon next game?

    Call me old fashioned but I simply can't captain Mahrez this season... I am too stubborn.

    1. Nickk
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm too stubborn to even buy him or Vardy

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        You have that rank without having Sanchez or Vardy? Well done I say. Good luck though.

        1. Nickk
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I meant Mahrez and Vardy!
          Thanks. It mainly comes down to getting the correct captain pick. I've scored at least 14 each GW from my captains. Also getting luck with Kocsielny for example, I couldve owned Bellerin but I happened to have the player whos scored 2 in 2 XD

          1. A La Pelle
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Impressive. Koscielny has rewarded us recently! I simply can't buy more than one Leicester attacker, I don't know what it is, eh.

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Old fashioned

    3. Numb
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Too many benchings recently for Mahrez to trust him with the armband

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Surely he's unbenchanble at home against Watford

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I think he means benched by Ranieri mate.

          1. Ayew Serious
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            That's also what I mean

            1. Oz lotto
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              oh he is benchable then. He benched him vs. Saints away when he might have needed him. I think his involvement in goals has made Claudio realise... NEVER bench him haha

              1. Ayew Serious
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                But Southampton are a great attacking side

                Watford are a poor attacking side and the home advantage

        2. A La Pelle
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Although didn't Ranieri bench him because it was an easy game?...

          1. Oz lotto
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            against Southampton? He came on at half time in that game. Unless there was an injury concern I don't see the logic.

            1. A La Pelle
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              I meant the Norwich game. But yeah I don't see why he would be benched, just madness.

              1. Oz lotto
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                oh! that may have been for a rest but to bench him vs. Saints first half probably suggests it wasn't

    4. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Look at the last 2 seasons results at the emirates vs. Spurs.... very few goals to speak of.

      Think the man in your grav could be in for a big day out.

  13. chonks

    which one to sit

    sanchez
    ayew
    kdb
    mahrez
    payet
    vardy
    ighalo
    pelle

    first to 4 votes rides pine

    1. Nickk
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Is this musical chairs? I vote Pelle to lose as he'll be the slowest to sit.

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        nah biggest arse of the lot so he has more gravity assistance

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

      Payet, regrettably.

      I don't know what rides pine means.

    3. baraka1670
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Either of Vardy or Mahrez

  14. blind faith
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bellerin not playing this weekend then?

    1. baraka1670
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

    2. blind faith
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Play

      A) Kolarov - Moreno - Bellerin (Dawson/O'Shea to come on as sub)

      B) AOA --- KDB(c) - Sanchez - Mahrez - Mane - Coutinho - Ighalo - Vardy - Pelle

  15. baraka1670
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Martial to Benteke or Lukaku??
    Already got Barkley

  16. Lallana_
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Kane has found his shooting boots. And Eriksen is still killing it. With Arsenal being so poor defensively midweek he may be worth getting in now. If Bellerin is back though I may refrain for a little bit. He'll give Rose trouble.

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Well they did play Bayern...

    2. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I bought in Lukaku over Kane... I figured Arsenal won't perform like that again.

    3. kingozil-The Germans once a…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Far from certain Kane has found his shooting boots. He has played well, but not worth the price.

    4. Jimbo123
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wasn't Bellerin pretty much ruled out though?

  17. Sky Blue Sun
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Feel like I need to get in United defensive cover for their nice looking run of games. Rojo or Smalling?

    Dawson to Moreno for free?

    McCarthy, Myhill
    Dawson, Bellerin, Azpi, Oxford, VVD

    KDB, Sanchez, Mahrez, Mane, Ayew,

    Pelle, Vardy, Lukaku

    No other pressing concerns, hence thinking Moreno.

      You're holding Azpi waiting for something good?

        Oh that's the Chelsea bias. This is what will drag me down eventually.

          I would ship him now.. but that's just me..

          if not then yes Dawson to Moreno looks good

          Azpi is worth holding IMO

          And yes Dawson to Moreno looks solid, unless you can afford to ditch Oxford.

            I've got. 6 in the bank. Any 4.5 def would do in for Oxford. However find Moreno really good value for money. Could Dawson rise again? I could earn .1 should he rise.

    @ President Sepp. I have loads of spare time tonight if you would like to make use of it.

      You going to do one final big push for new teams over the weekend?

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Surely we cannot have many more teams to come. I think the response has been so much greater than we anticipated already

        1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Wasn't sure if you had hit your target or not. Agree though been a great response although some teams appear to be lingering in filling out their details

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Yes they do. I don't think we have a target. We keep fiddling with the tournament to make it as fair as possible on the number of teams we have. Then more teams apply and we do it all again

            1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Guess all you can do is discard the blank teams or maybe send the manager a final reminder?

                I think BabyB has been keeping tabs on them. We will see what happens.

            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            32 was my first target, then 40, then 50, next up 60 🙂

    Fabianski
    Monreal | Cédric | Janmaat
    Sánchez | Hazard | De Bruyne | Mané
    Lukaku | Pellè | Ighalo

    2FT, 0.0M.

    Ideas?

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard out, Mahrez in. Easy.

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

        This makes sense because it also will be your Kun enabler when he's healthy.

    Do I Play

    A) Kolarov - Moreno - Bellerin (Dawson/O'Shea to come on as sub)

    B) AOA --- KDB(c) - Sanchez - Mahrez - Mane - Coutinho - Ighalo - Vardy - Pelle

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Rojo your boat

    2. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's lucky media-wise, as if he ever has a bad game at LB, people will say it's because he is a centreback - but when he's bad at CB it'll be because he is played out of position so much

  22. Guru Mediation

    Martial for kane or lukaku? Arsenal's defence looks leaky

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      because Munich scored 5? give me break. it's Bayern Munich

      1. thattreblefeeling
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        True it was Bayern, still they were shocking defensively debuchy mertz and Gabriel all terrible

    2. Jimbo123
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku.

      Everyone looks leaky versus Bayern

  23. Every Dog Has Its Day

  24. Jimbo123
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Which 2/3 changes look best for on eof my draft teams?

    A.) Berahino -----》 Mitrovic

    B.) Sakho ------》 Gomis

    C.) Lamela (on 4 yc) -----》Firmino

    D.) Walker -----》Rojo

  25. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    I think Martials rise and fall sums Man Utd supporters up

    Blind optimism

    1. Larry Legend
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Better than eternal pessimism!

    2. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Blind always seems more sardonic than optimistic but I take your point

  26. Larry Legend
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I keep thinking and still can't decide.

    Would you ditch Hazard for -4, or wait until the international break?

    Options to replace include Tadic, Mane, Lamela, Barkley. Thinking this transfer needs to free up the funds for Kun the week after, assuming he is back.

    1. Deep Sea Amphipod
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd be tempted to hold for one more. See why you want to move though.

  27. Deep Sea Amphipod
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Which move do you prefer?

    a) Pelle -> Ighalo
    b) Mane -> Mahrez

    Personally leaning towards A...

    1. Larry Legend
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd probably hold. If it's to free up the cash and you have to do it, I probably prefer A.

      1. Deep Sea Amphipod
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I don't need the cash as such but I'm reluctant to go into the next 3 (sun, STO, mci) with 3 Saints (have Cedric as well).

        1. Larry Legend
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough. Fixtures not bad after that though. Now if you could afford Mane to Ozil...

          1. Deep Sea Amphipod
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Haha. Well I can now for -4! 😉 Pulled the trigger on Ighalo.

  28. ducksfly2gether
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    KDB or Sanchez (C)

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez

      1. ducksfly2gether
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'm thinking you might be a little biased

        1. Gooner97
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          But you asked so...
