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.

  3. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Darmian -> Moreno looking a good bet?

    Will Klopp have a press conference today? I suspect not.

  4. King H
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Will galloway start ?

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

      Almost certainly, Baines and Oviedo both out.

      1. King H
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        cheers boss

  5. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    who to play:

    Huth (WAT)
    or
    Francis (NEW)

    ?

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

      Probably Huth.

  6. Doolittle
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If you were WCing to get Aguero, would you WC over internationals and leave money ITB to get him, or would you just wait and WC when he's 100%?

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wait

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

        Cheers Arvin.

    3. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Im using Costa as a placehodler

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

        Expecting a lot of price rises over the break, or is it just that you want to have a WC team asap?

        1. Kings of Lyon ★
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Team needs a new defence. I NEED a double price rise now to get my WC team 🙁

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

            I made such a rookie error last night of not shipping Huth because I thought, having bought at 4.5, I'd still have an SP of 4.4 if he went for 4.3. I've been playing this game properly for 4 bloody years.

            1. Kings of Lyon ★
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Aw nightmare mate 🙁 I dont think id want to sell him when hes got WAT next and his shots are ridiculously high. Hopefully he gets in the points this week and rises back up

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

                It is a good fixture for him, it's just that Utd against WBA looks about as nailed on a CS as I can imagine.

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

        Like a coaster?

        About all he's good for at the moment.

        1. Kings of Lyon ★
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          If a beach ball goal can score ...

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

      If you can do him in three transfers I wouldn't waste my wc planning for one player. That's just me though.

      I am within three of him. Will plan two weeks out and have 2 FT one week and then do it the next week.

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

        Only a few GWs left to play my WC, don't want to waste it!

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

          Cool Doolittle.

          I should also clarify that I played my own wc last week so its easy for me to say 🙂

  7. Russell
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What will the Sunderland defence be this weekend if back to 442?

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Still crap

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

      Judging by last week, woeful regardless of formation.

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

        Haha ok - was just asking from a Southampton point of view and trying to work out what they will play (e.g. Yedlin to counteract Mane's pace etc.)

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      ---------i----i-----------
      -------i-i-i--i-----------
      -i-------i--i--i-----------

      ie .. a cake made out of sh!t in celebration of Mane's hattrick party

    4. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      8-0 again with Pelle and Mane, each scoring a set of goals.

  8. EmreCanDrinkwater
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Play Dawson MUN(A) or Francis NEW(H) this week?

    1. Nolberto Solano
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Similar question her. I chose to start Evans over Francis

  9. Crystal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Would you start Francis or Janmaat?

    1. Nolberto Solano
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Janmaat if fit

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Jaanmat

    3. Crystal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks, yes if fit

  10. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    All set?

    Hennessey (Gomes)
    VvD Jones Moreno (Simpson, Bellerin)
    Mane KDB Sanchez Sterling
    Bony(C) Kane Vardy(vc)

    Cheers 🙂

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

      Yep looks good.

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. Good team.

    3. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Thanks both 🙂

    4. S.Kuqi

      Nice good to go.

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

    Correct team for this week? Thinking of going Azpi -> Rojo.

    De Gea (Butland)
    Azpi, Cedric, Kolarov (Nyom, Targett)
    KDB, Mahrez (c), Sanchez, Ayew (Barkley)
    Vardy, Pelle, Bony

    1.9m ITB

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I like it.
      I'd be tempted to keep Azpi. What about Targety to Moreno?

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

        Thanks, not a bad move actually, might well do that. I'm basically at my wit's end with Azpi that's why I'm so keen to get rid, but their fixtures are good...

  12. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Fabianski
    Rojo, Moreno, Cedric
    Mahrez, KDB(c), Sanchez (vc), Mane
    Pelle, Lukaku, Vardy
    (Butland, Payet. Bellerin, Hutton)
    (0.5m, used my FT already)

    Good to go?
    Any changes needed?
    Subs and captain right?

  13. JaydenLFC87

      D

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

      Payet.

  14. Antonio J
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Having no centrebacks in my team!! Is that a slight concern?

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

      not really, but i have taken the opposite approach. my main defs are kosc/smalling/fonte. i like their goal threats from corners

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

      Not if you have a defence full of attacking full backs.

      1. Antonio J
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I do have
        Moreno Rojo bellerin souare simpson

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

      Bloody hell, surely the worst possible quote for an FPL manager?

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years

        +1

    2. Greenbackbøøg…

      lol @ Pulis, thinking people care about West Brom injuries

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

        I've got Dawson in my team!

  16. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Good to go? (1FT, 5.2m ITB)

    Myhill
    VVD Janmaat Francis
    KDB (vc) Sanchez Payet Mahrez
    Vardy (c) Pelle Lukaku

    Subs: Hennessey // Mariappa Bellerin Wanyama

    1. Nolberto Solano
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Exact same front 7 as me. Upgrade defence? Or are you saving to get Aguero back?

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'd like to leave enough ITB to get him back with 1FT if possible. So could only upgrade Mariappa to a 4.3m defender potentially.

  17. HP.
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Sakho nailed on for Liverpool??

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years

  18. internal error

    1. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Nyom.

  22. trinzoo
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bolasie/Davies > Barry(5thmid)/Rojo for -4 ?

    If I do it after GW I will need extra 0.2 (Bolasie drop, Rojo raise)/

  23. Snibal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bellerin hopefully back after the break? Wenger, what are you doing to me? I was all set to just bench him this week and have him back in my line up after the break, but now I'm worried.. Selling him would cost me 4 points as well.. I'm guessing Wenger is just saying this so he won't play in the break for Spain right?

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

      Correct

  24. Arvin-ation

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago
