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 β€œRough 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 β€œpolished” audio effort via this link or the smaller player.

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

      You filthy weasel Huth, I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. You are a technicolor yawn.

  5. Townsends Tactics Truck

    Who do I drop this week from this front 8. AOA is not an option.

    Sanchez / Mahrez /Mata /De Bruyne /Ozil

    Lukaku / Ighalo / Benteke

    1. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mata

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

      Mata

      1. Townsends Tactics Truck
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'm surprised you say Mata. I feel like he's due a score. See Utd winning 3-0 against Wba

        1. gruffyboy
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          WBA fairly organized defence - and have you seen Man U's attack recently?

          1. Townsends Tactics Truck
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I hear you, it's just my gut feeling. I was swaying towards Ighalo or Lukaku tbh

            1. gruffyboy
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              They're both showing good form - but I know what you mean. Out of the 3 Mata's just shown the least recently that's all. Trust your gut though - I had Lukaku (c) last week until the last minute and went with Mane due to FFS feedback!

              1. Townsends Tactics Truck
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                I agree with what you're saying. Might be clutching at straws, but was hoping for a Mata goal, & maybe an assist aswell. I can see Leicester & Watford being 2-2, so Ighalo could be amongst the goals. Lukaku or Benteke imo will get a 1pter, it's just a matter of figuring out which.

    3. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Quite a simple decision you've got, then.

    4. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mata imo.

      No Mata 😯

  6. gruffyboy

    Still got my WC - I guess the right time to play it is after Week 12 right?

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

      Yes imo, no point in playing it now with the break coming up & Agüero still out. Unless your team is extremely dire & you can't put out an XI. Gw13-15 look good for the WC barring Agüero's injury being longer term.

      2. The Bandit

        Bench fodder, but if he's called to duty he should get more than Targett!

  15. rookie manager
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hi everyone, looking to settle my nerves a bit and get general opinion on my team, for this week and my proposed plans for the next few weeks.

    Current Team is:
    Cech / Ruddy (just cant justify using transfer to remove him though he never plays)
    Bellerin / Kolarov / VVD / Dier / Prodl
    Mahrez / DBruyne / Sanchez / Payet / Wijnaldum
    Bony / Pelle / Vardy

    Thinking of using AOA chip for this week, as Bellerin is likely out and dont fancy a tottenham cleanie against arsenal, and to be honest no idea who to bench from my attack after got burnt by Mahrez sitting there last week - Sound good to people?

    Then thinking of swapping Bellerin > Ward and Bony > Giroud with 2FT after international break.

    Longer term will be movign Kolarov out for Moreno/5m def and Sanchez -> Ozil (still dont feel good about this but need cash) to be able to do Pelle -> Aguero.

    Does this sound good or am I missing some more obvious changes that need to happen sooner, leaving Prodl and Ruddy to ride the bench at the minute while i work on my starters and hope the s*** doesnt hit the fan.

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

      Fine with using the chip. Get back to us during international break with proposed changes πŸ™‚

      1. rookie manager
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, I think I just needed to dump all of that stuff on paper to give my mind a rest - already planning my long term catch up on my leagues, but want to save FT but didnt want to miss any tricks this week.

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

          Fair enough. Looks an easy save.

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

      I'd get rid of Kolarov before considering taking out Bellerin imo. He's arguably the best defnder right now, has great fixtures, is extrémely attacking & is under way less threat than Kolarov with Clichy in the midst. Bellerin's injury doesn't seem too serious & he still has the break to recover, unless Wenger states he's missing multiple GW's in his presser, then I don't see why you'd get rid tbh. Is it to afford Agüero?

      Good week to use AoA for your team though, I agree.

  16. Irish Madridista ⭐
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Would it be an idea to play AOA, benching Koscielny and playing Pelle?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      (other defenders are Francis and Coleman)

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

        Hmm it's tough, two FB's with decent-ish defensive fixtures, but have better attacking fixtures mo facing (NEW) & (whu). Though both their respective team's defenses have been pretty abysmal, so playing Pelle vs an even worse defense is probably the more sensible with the higher ceiling.

        AoA sounds good, IM.

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes that qualifies as an idea in my book.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Would it qualify as a good one? Or would ya just play the Frenchman?

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

          I think it's a good one.

    3. rookie manager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty sure Im going for AOA, and Pelle is one of mine too, they did Sunderland over last year and Im hoping they will repeat the feat.

      Not sure would start Francis over Kosc though, think it will be similar situation to Bellerin, if he doesnt start he just wont play, but if he does he has better chance of points than Francis does.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        True, and I expect Southampton to win, but I think Mané is better suited to playing away at Sunderland than Pelle with his abysmal away form.

        Kosc vs Francis is a tough one but yeah I see Kosc playin 0 or 90, not a cameo.

        Still don't know about Kosc vs Pelle though.. Is the chip useful to hold onto?

    4. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm playing it this week, although Bellerin likely wont play! Sounds like a sensible idea to me!

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Would you do it if Bellerin was playing?

      Thanks guys

  17. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Do you wish the premier league had more world class strikers?

    Lukaku, Pelle, Giroud, Benteke, Kane, Sakho.

    Even Vardy. Vardy?!

    Good players sure but wouldnt it be awesome to have Lewandowski at Liverpool or Zlatan at Spurs?

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

      Grass will always be greener...

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

      If I was a world class striker I would sack my agent if he suggested a move to Liverpool or Spurs.

    3. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Martial, Lukaku, Aguero, Benteke could all improve over the next 3 years if they stay fit (Kun)

    4. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed, Aguero doesn't have enough competition

    5. 123thro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, there doesn't seem to be all that many world class players in the Premier league nowadays. There's maybe 4 or 5?

      I'd say there's

      Aguero
      Sanchez
      Hazard
      Ozil
      Silva

      And then it's pretty thin on the ground. And, Bayern, Real Madrid and Barcelona all have around 5 world class players in their starting 11! It's crazy. Think a lot of Premier League clubs are now buying on potential rather than pedigree and experience.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        that's 1 striker

        1. 123thro
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, there's not may World class strikers in the Premier league, and in my opinion the premier league doesn't have many world class players in it nowadays either πŸ™‚

    6. rookie manager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say there are only a handful of teams that have got better strikers than the ones in the PL, it is just they have a few of them each - but then look at the money they are throwing around for those players, and just the rougher ride they get in English league than they would in French/German/Spanish - not sure how many world class are in Italy at the moment, thats where we sending ones we dont want (Ballo/Jovetic/Dzeko/Gervinho)

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Higuain is immense, as is Dybala.

    7. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      not one person has even mentioned Diego Costa. Sure, he is my most hated player in the league and terribly out of form but there is no doubting his skill.

    Im playing my AOA Chip this week and have 1 FT to optimise my defence, which combo is best?

    A: Butland + Monreal (save transfer)
    B: Butland + Van Dijk
    C: De Gea + Monreal

    (Would be dropping Muniesa for Van Dijk, Butland for DDG)

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      C

      1. Judas

        this is what my gut is telling me

    2. rookie manager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Personally I would go for A and save the FT so you have 2 to play with after the international break, and the build up to Aguero match fitness starts.

      Sunderland are leaky at the moment but not bad attacking so no guarentee of a cleanie and DDG has got Wat/Lec/WHU next three after this week who are all on good form for a goal or two, so butland worth keeping for price difference. Add to the fact never know what will happen in a derby (especially north london one) and Monreal could come very good for you.

      1. Judas

        Yes, do two independent ones with a group of friends every season. I'm stuck with the possibility of playing Diouf this week.

      I'd actually play Schmeciel if I had the choice out of the two.

      I think both will concede, but think Chelsea have more chance of scoring two than Watford. Either way, I wouldn't be expecting big things from either mate, good luck! πŸ™‚

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I think save points needs to be considered aswell -so far this season

        Butland - 46 saves
        Kasper - 33 saves

        1. 123thro
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, you're right on that one. From what I've seen though, Chelsea haven't really had all that much shots, and haven't been creating much at all (I could be wrong though). Anyways, not much in it at all mate, don't think it makes much difference (watch the goalie you bench save a pen, get a CS and make 16 saves now! haha πŸ™‚ )

    Vardinho or Mahressi

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

      I'd back your username. That said, I'd be looking elsewhere altogether..

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

        Mahrez KDB Payet Sanchez

        Lukaku Pelle Vardinho

        what you reckon of those if not the leicester boys

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

          I'd captain any of KDB, Alexis, or Pelle over one of the Leicester boys.

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Why's that?

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

              Mainly because of the feels. Also rate Watford defense.

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

      Vardy for me, Fuchs back means Mahrez might be benched.

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

        He is the Tinkerman, but still I think Mahrez is good to start, but stranger things have happened...

    3. 123thro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Tough! Think Vardy has a better chance of scoring than Mahrez, but Mahrez has a better chance of scoring more points than Vardy. Just depends on what you're looking for in a captain, consistency or explosiveness? personally, I look for explosiveness, so out of the two I'd captain Mahrez. Good luck mate πŸ™‚

    Switching between Sanchez and Kane, one, then the other, and back again (in regards to captaincy)
    That Hot Topic + Home advantage were making me lean towards Alexis
    However, Diva's well-writen and informative article has changed my mind to captain Kane.

    Thoughts?

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

      Alexis for me.

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

      Neither for me, but if I have to pick one from them I'd say Alexis because I'm a gooner πŸ˜†

    Current front 8 is

    Mané(sun) Payet(EVE) Sanchez(TOT) De Bruyne (avl) Ayew(nor)
    Ighalo(lei) Pellé(sun) Vardy(WAT)

    Thinking of benching ayew since he is not the inform player but sanchez has blanked in last 2 league games and didnt look good vs. bayern this week..

    any ideas?

    1. Vardinho
      • 10 Years

      Bench Ayew or transfer for cheaper option for less bench headaches in the future

  28. Dunny
    • 15 Years

    With 2 fts in the bank,

    Ruddy > DDG
    Richards > Smalling, Rojo or Van Dijk???

    1. Zasa
      • 11 Years

      Just the first one probably, rest of team?

      1. Dunny
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hennessy, Ruddy
        Bellerin, Kolarov, Cedric, Huth, Richards
        Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mahrez, Gosling
        Pelle, Bony, Vardy

        4.1 in the bank, but that's waiting for Aguero on my w/c

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

          I see, guess you could go for it considering your backline. Unless you have an AoA....

      1. Dunny
        • 15 Years

    Are Simpson and Wollscheid nailed on defenders? Who'd you pick?
    Also, is Hennessy nailed on?

    Thanks in advance

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

      I'd pick Simpson over Wollscheid. Seems to be reasonably nailed over de Laet. Wool shed I don't rate. Hennessey could be dropped after a bad game on any given week.

      Who if your first choice keeper, because if you have someone like DDG or Cech then even if he does get dropped you're never even going to need to play him and he's sooo cheap

          Too many forwards firing. Of course if Ighalo is the spare forward you would be doing pretty well.
