Following on from Halloween, itโ€™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 Granvilleโ€™s misery for as long as possible, before attempting to cheer him up with similarly scary tales from the community in โ€œRough with the Smoothโ€.

We then take on your questions, debating Leicesterโ€™s legs, Unitedโ€™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 Bellerinโ€™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 โ€œpolishedโ€ audio effort via this link or the smaller player.

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

    Personally don't understand why anyone would captain Vardy over Mahrez. No. of double figure hauls this season:

    Vardy - 2
    Mahrez - 6

    Captaincy is all about explosiveness imo. I am probably going Mane(c) Mahrez(vc)

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

      I also forgot to mention Vardy has over 200 more minutes played than Mahrez.

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

        Haven't blanked for the past 9 games, I think that's the reason?

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

          Doesn't matter if he is just consistently scoring 5-9 pts he is certainly representing value but definitely not doing a lot of damage as a captain.

    2. 123thro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Completely agree mate. I like captains with the potential to score big points, rather than likely to score a few points. Mane has never been too good to me in FPL though, I know thats not a good reason to not captain him, but still it does put me off.

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

      Agreed, one of the reasons I benched Vardy over Mahrez last week.

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy does look safer, being nailed on and Mr. Consistent

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

        explosivesness>consistency for captains.

    5. Judas
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yes but there is more chance of mahrez getting a 2 pointer imo

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

        And even so it doesn't hurt that much because Vardy is unlikely to get a haul.

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

          Just got a feeling about Vardy this week, gotta follow them feelings..

    6. Rolls-Royce
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      "Captaincy is all about explosiveness"- No. Its about consistency also.

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

    Confusing arse GW right now, trying to analyze the AoA's use later on in the season, but it may be better played now with my defense in relative shambles (Myhill, Kolarov, Bellerin, Cedric, Dawson, Huth). Better move here lads?

    1 FT, WC, 1.8m ITB
    A) Eriksen to Özil (AoA)
    B) Huth to Moreno/Rojo (bench Eriksen)
    C) Save FT (AoA with Eriksen)

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

      C

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

      C

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

      C definitely

      Eriksen is in great form.

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

      c

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

      Cheers everyone ๐Ÿ™‚

    6. Rolls-Royce
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A) Easy

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

    It don't think there's a stand out captaincy option this week (Think there are a lot of decent options, just not may good ones).

    Is a punt on Ayoze Perez a stupid move? I can see that being a wide open game, which will have a lot of goals, and I really rate Perez as a player. But, are thise good enough reasons? Cheers all ๐Ÿ™‚

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

      Agree if you want to take captain punts this is a good week to do it

      We will back to Aguero or Sanchez soon

  4. The Nuttmxn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If you could pick any three def's, who would they be?

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

      Bellerin, VVD, Smalling/Moreno.

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

      for this week:

      Smalling, Kolarov, VVD

      For general

      Smalling, Kosc, VVD

    3. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers both, think I'll get VVD in this week, though I've got quite the inferno in def.

    4. NOMONEY
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      man utd/soton/arsenal

  5. Judas
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Think I know my gut decision, just wondering how you guys views this?:

    A: Butland ---> De Gea
    B: Muniesa ---> Van Dijk (Play him over Monreal)

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

      I'm doing A. And I like B

      Good moves. ๐Ÿ˜€

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B is more pressing imo. With Butland at least you'll be getting save points.

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

        im playing AOA this week though. and have Kolarov + Monreal then Francis, Dawson, Muniesa on bench.

        Whichever transfer of these I do this week. ill probably do the other the next anyway. just depends which will score highest this week

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Oh, then I assume you have 2 FTs and need to burn 1. Since you're playing AOA this week, the GK switch looks better.

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

            no just 1 FT

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

        No one likes getting rid of a player who just got a massive haul, espicially if they are a GK ๐Ÿ˜‰

        Butland won't keep any CS's in the next month or so. DDG will keep a few.

        6 saves = 2 points
        CS = 4 points.

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

          this is exactly my thinking.

          if butland didnt just get that big haul everyone would say drop him. sometimes got to bank your points and move on to other prospects

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

            Exactly.

            Been saying this all week.

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

              think I will do A tomorrow tbh. I kinda want to play Monreal aswel, think he could get an assist or two if it all kicks off. and if not a CS

          2. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Listen to that guy, not me. I've been a nightmare these days lol

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

          Using a transfer and nearly a million to not gain many points

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

            this isnt a very constructive reply. what would you suggest?

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

              I was replying to the Butland to De Gea

              Even on the reckoning on a couple more clean sheets from de Gea over Butlands save points doesn't make you many points for the use of a transfer (a saved transfer could save a -4 in next week or so when getting Aguero back and the million could be used elsewhere

              So I'd just hold and carry transfer over if those are your only 2 problems

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

      Both are good moves imo

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

      A: might be a bit of a luxury move imo, depending on the rest of your team, it might not be the necessary upgrade your team needs as Stoke have decent fixtures. If not, then I prefer this move for sure.

      B: Luxury as well, I'd play Monreal for sure.

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

        stoke have awful fixtures.

        the rest of my team is fine so you think A is better?

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

          Yes.

    10 years, 1 month ago

    Why is it that I'm getting all my A-league fantasy (C)aptains right and getting all my EPL (C)aptains wrong?

    ๐Ÿ™

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

      Is there FFS league this season? I'm rank 33 overall!

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

        Don't think so.

        Did you have Mooy (C) + Fornoli last night?

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

          Aye sure did. Have had Mooy(c) last 3 gw now for 3 double figure hauls ๐Ÿ˜€

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

      Could get away playing Kompany, Francis & Evans/Jones(uncertain he'll play).

      Save, barring bad news at pressers.

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

        Why francis?
        Was going to do huth kompany jones

  8. Judas
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Late Thursday night (C)aptain poll!!!

    Lets see who you are thinking people

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

      Mahrez

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      KDB atm.

    3. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      thinking Sterling but not sure i'll be able to do it.

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

        I'm thinking about captaining perez at the minute ๐Ÿ™‚

        1. Arctic monkeys
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          don't do it mate, i'm playing Francis ๐Ÿ˜€

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

            Haha, thinking I may as well take a punt. None of the other choices are really standing out for me. How about a Francis goal, and a Perez hattrick? ๐Ÿ™‚

            1. Arctic monkeys
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Sounds fantastic

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

      KDB

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

      Firmino

    6. Judas
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pelle,Vardy or Kane for me.

      Probably Pelle. Could easily bag afew goals

      Kane could be a cheeky punt but the chances of him scoring more than 1 at the emirates is slim

    7. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling

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

        vardy

    8. All Bäcks
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Currently Vardy

  9. UpAndAway
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If you opt to play your all out attack chip, but then later decide against it, can you revert back to another formation? Are you locked into it once selected?

    1. Leaf

      You can unclick it and go back

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

        Thanks, I wasn't sure which is why I asked the question.

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

    Gtg ?

    Bego

    Kolarov, Cedric, Sagna

    Mahrez, Sanchez(v), Sterling(c), Ayew

    Ighalo, Lukaku, Kane

    McCarthy, Payet, Janmaat, Saylor

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

      G2g yes, I'd consider benching Ayew perhaps in favor of Payet though.

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, Sterling C is a final decision ?

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

        Final answer

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

      GTG

    4. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Play payet over Ayew for sure.

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

        disagree. ayew goal inbound

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

          Nostradamus ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

        2. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Payet stats are still great. In par with Ozil. Everton defence a shambles.

    5. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Play payet over Ayew for sure.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Duplicate comment. I broke the system.

    6. Judas
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Like the front 3. very punty. but think pelle could hurt you in the next month. as could payet on the bench but with that defence its not worth playing AOA

      so yeah good to go. Not sure on Sterling (C) choice

  11. theBoose
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    who would you bench..?

    Mahrez
    Payet
    De Bruyne
    Özil
    Tadic
    Vardy
    Lukaku
    Pellè

    I'm currently sitting Tadic.

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

      Tadic or Pelle

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Agree

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dusan

    4. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Agree

    5. Judas
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      tadic

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

        Cheers all. It seems pretty unanimous then.

  12. Chris Finch - squeal piggy …
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best Southampton defender to get?

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

      Probably VVD mate, nailed on and a goal threat. Good luck ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Chris Finch - squeal piggy …
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, he was my #1 but wanted opinions from here.

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

          VVD is best Cedric is a good option at a slightly lower price.

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

            This.

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

      Cedric is a bit cheaper and think he's due some assists soon , seems to get bonus

  13. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Alright fellows, where to start? I need a Special Move to turn horrendous my season into a decent one.

    Howard Henn
    Berty Dier* Dawson Gabriel* Moreno
    Sanchez KDB Payet Mane Mahrez
    Lukaku Pelle Vardy

    2 FTs, 0.4 itb

    Thinking of a defensive move but not too sure who to get

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

      One of United/City defenders?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years

        For United i think Smalling's the best but fairly overpriced. Not to keen with the others

        City is a good one but I think I'm kinda out of reach

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

          Lacking good cheap defenders is a pain this season.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Indeed. I miss Wardinho, Gorrks, Hutton, Wisdom etc.

    2. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Your front 8 is beautiful.

      Probably go for Gabriel or Dier--->Rojo

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        You think so? I'm still swearing at myself for ditching Iggy last week

        Short 0.2 for Gabby -> Rojo ๐Ÿ™

        1. Call Me Old Fashioned
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Dawson to Rojo perhaps? Nothing below 5.2 is inspiring me to suggest them for this GW

    3. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      How about Dawson to Rojo

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        considering this but I'd be losing my only WBA stalwart.

    4. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      hey nabil
      haven't seen you for a while ..
      AOA? or bench payet/pelle

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        hey there mate. AOA already wasted early on ๐Ÿ™

        Stll wondering why I ditched Iggy last week to get this benching headache. Bring back Westwood!

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Gabriel →Schlupp or ward(next week)

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

      Front 8 look good, no problem. Just need to fix your defence, may be Dawson to Rojo, and Gabriel to Ward next GW.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        why Dawson is the fall guy now? Is he injured or something?

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

          Fixtures get tough.

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

          Bad fixtures incoming.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Ah I see, Thanks you two

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

      Has to be defensive imo, just one FT though. Gabriel/Dawson to Rojo.

      Keep Dier for sure.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I wish I can ditch Gabby for a decent Def, but I can't find one.

        Thanks Zasa and all

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

          How about Wardinho? SUN and NEW in his next two.

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

            *after this week

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

          Souare/Ward I think, better long term though,

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Really thinking bout it. I actually considered him when I WCed in GW9. Thanks you too.

            1. Zasa
              • 11 Years

    7. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Gabriel to Moreno.

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

        Whoops brain dead. Just seen Moreno there... carry on.

    56 countries in the 5 a side tournament now.

    1. Hy liverpool

      64 is the target ?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        It would be nice for making a tournament work but I can't see us getting that many. There are ways around it

      2. โ€‹

        Baby steps, first 60 the 64.

    2. sleecc

      There are still some countries without team members.

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

        There are. There are also new teams entering every day. As I understand it there are players on the way for these sides.

        1. sleecc
          • 10 Years

          Don't forget that I am also helping to persuade some players to join the tourny, like the one below ๐Ÿ˜›

            Good lad. With the tournament being close by to Malaysia you should see an increase in tourism.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai

      Why some countries do not have players at all?

                Team members will push hard you to score more points each GW ๐Ÿ˜›

  15. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Schmeichel
    Rojo Bellerin VVD
    Mahrez Sanchez KDB Payet
    Vardy Bony Pelle

    Butland Williams Nyom Westwood

    Thinking of captaining Bony for 2nd GW in a row, and then offloading him to Lukaku.

    Not really feeling KDB as captain but thinking to go for Mahrez instead.

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I captained bony too. His finishing was awful. Reckon he can turn it around?

      1. Call Me Old Fashioned
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He is certainly going to get a lot of chances, he took the goal well vs Sevilla. Maybe be can bounce on from there.

        But there are too many options this week

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah it's tough. Was gonna Sanchez but now I'm not so sure. Payet an interesting option.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Butland over Schmeichel for me
      (c) Bony or Mahrez

  16. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Alright I think unless someone can tell me otherwise I am set here. Someone has to sit, and I am certainly not selling Pelle. Can just see Sunderland somehow putting a shift in this week and at most Pelle getting 6 or 7pts. Fancy Payet now, and I'm never benching Mahrez or Vardy again.

    Gtg?

    Begovic
    Kompany. Moreno. Bellerin
    Ozil. Sanchez. Kdb. Mahrez(c) Payet
    Vardy. Lukaku

    McCarthy. Pelle. Wollschield. Galloway

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

      G2g. I prefer Pelle's goal threat, just, over Payet's.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      looks good

  17. Koflok
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Really don't know what to do with this team. 2 FTs 2m ITB and last week before WCing

    Myhill
    Kolarov Cedric Dawson Francis 4m
    Sanchez Payet Mane Mahrez KdB
    Pelle Vardy Bony

    Might upgrade Dawson -> Smalling. And an attacking punt?

    I wasted my AoA chip too damn

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dawson→Smalling+ Pelle→Benteke

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

      Yes, I like that move. If you're deadset on WCing for Gw13, then I don't really see a worthwhile attacking put considering your stacked front 8.

      If Kolarov's out:
      Dawson & Francis, to Smalling & Moreno.

      or hope for the best, Dawson + Myhill to Smalling/Rojo & DDG.

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        or this

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

        Might just do that double MU thing. Probably the more boring punts I'll have for a while haha

  18. Nabs Kebabs

    Anyone else looking to buy Danny Rose next gw?

    1. sleecc

      No, I don't want to jinx Spurs ๐Ÿ˜›

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

      Good punt but he is very injury prone and there is always the doubt with Davies lingering

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

      Never been a big fan of Tottenham at the back. Will monitor though...very attacking. Moreno seems a bit better at 0.5M less.

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Too Rosy for my liking

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

    All out attack inbound. Might not be this lucky owning 8 quality attackers again with Aguero coming back.

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Agree. The AOA chip is pretty useless in itself but with alot of the popular defenders away, injured maybe or hard fixtures seems on ok time to play. Plus will back to a 4.5 mid soon to enable Aguero

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

      That's right, will not be able to afford good 8 attackers anymore once Kun back to the team.

  20. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Playing AOA, which one to bench:

    A) Kolarov

    B) Moreno

    C) Bertrand

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same choice, im on Bert

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

      C imo.

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      are you sure about AOA this week?

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        yes, I will most probably downgrade a mid for Aguero during internatianl break. So it is maybe the last time I have a strong front 8

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      C 1st sub

    5. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers guys!

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

      C

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

    I was going to save AOA for a time of a defensive crisis but it seems unlikely 3/5 of my defenders will be injured or suspended. And if any of them are, I probably have to get rid of them anyways for the long-term.

  22. Judas
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Im right to play Montreal over Francis/Dawson this week arent I?

    1. Zasa

      Yes, imo.

    2. โ€‹

  23. Koflok
    • 13 Years

    Really regretting playing my AoA chip in GW 9, and Sturridge got injured too that week. Can really use it this week

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I wasted my AOS too. Ended up playing 3-4-3 and had a low score. I don;t feel that bad though.

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

      I'm scared De Bruyne won't play the full 90 this week ๐Ÿ™

        On the unaffiliated list? try emailing some captains with spaces too, it'll help your chances of getting picked up. Failing that become a captain yourself ๐Ÿ™‚

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

          It was yes. I might email the Team Singapore captain, don't have the time to be a captain myself haha

    Everyone in my attack is a captain option this week.. shame i got to bench one ๐Ÿ™ .. AOA used last week to play Ighalo over Dawson ( ๐Ÿ˜Ž ) so it's not an option. Pretty sure most of us on here in the same boat.. So let's have a quick poll.. Who is your benched attacker this week.. Mine:
    Ighalo

    1. โ€‹
      • 12 Years

      Wanyama ๐Ÿ™‚

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

      Probably Bony

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen or Mane

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Play Mane!

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

      Anya

    4. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      AOA

    5. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen

    6. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years

      Payet and I know I'll regret it

  26. Chuba
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone considering Ake? Watford's fixture look very decent

    1. โ€‹
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Spend the extra 0.1 on Nyom and it'll be worth it.

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

        I'm trying to squeeze every 0.1 to afford Pelle > Aguero soon haha

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Doing the same. Williams to Moreno this week gives a vital little bit back. Mata to a 4.7 ish soon.

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

      Anya is better, surely?

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

        Anya plays in midfield ๐Ÿ˜‰

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years

      Gomes Ake Abdi Ighalo ... Watford is a Goldmine for cheap punts

      1. Chuba
        • 10 Years

        Absolutely!

    4. Zasa

      Not confident on carrying Watford defenders through December.

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

    From highest to lowest, how would you rank them?

    1) Bellerin - Spurs (H)
    2) Coleman - West Ham (A)
    3) Dawson - Manchester Utd (A)
    4) Williams - Norwich (A)

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      thats tough.
      Probably

      1
      2
      3/4

    2. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years

      Bellerin (if he plays)-Williams-Dawson-Coleman in that order

    3. โ€‹
      • 12 Years

      1,4,2,3

  28. Jandal Tan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Worth bringing in Mane for Fletcher and playing AoA? Dont think I'll really have a better opportunity (until Aguero gets injured again), and planning on WCing over the international break...

    Myhill
    Kolarov // VVD // Bellerin (Inj) // Francis // Targett
    Alexis // KDB // Mahrez // Payert// Fletcher
    Pelle // Vardy // Bony

    1. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yep sounds good, since you'll be WCing anyway

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

        I can get Aguero back with 2FTs currently, is it worth holding a WC until later in the season? I've never had a WC this long lol, but feel getting Aguero back is a good time to use it??

        1. Sebbo29
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          if you can get him with 2FT then of course no need to WC to get him back. Personally i don't think it is better or worse playing a WC early or late, both tactics can work out well in the end

            If I get Mane in, it would be a -4 to get Aguero back, but I want to change Francis, Targett and my 2nd GK, and may upgrade Fletcher if I can afford it.

            I hear a lot of people use their WCs for DGWs, but I feel 2fts can be just as effective there...?

      Personally i wouldn't make a move just to use the AOA chip. I am using it as i feel i have to.

        I get what you're saying, but you really need a strong front 8 to make it worthwhile, and with Aguero, I'll always have a circa 4.5 mid...

              Should add that mates mini league, which is my only concern, is nice and close which makes it real interesting

    Bench Pellè or Ighalo?

      ugh tough one, no other option? AOA? Or go with your gut or flip a coin

        Used AOA last week. Tempted to bench Pellè. Big Sam will surely prioritise a defensive performance.

    (C) headache this week:

    Currently on KDB, still contemplating with: Mahrez, Vardy Mane and Sanchez

    1. Jandal Tan

      I'm currently on Mahrez, did KDB last week. You'd think Mahrez at home vs Watford should produce something, but then the same would apply to KDB vs Villa, and there are generally goals in the north London derby...

        Yup, KDB getting subbed off last week could be a lil worrying
