It’s time to turn up the heat on Granville. After Harry Kane obliged with a 26-point armband return, I’ve clawed back the gap on my mancunian rival, who now sits just three points ahead in our “very personal” battle.

With the flame lit on our age-old duel, the ScoutCast is revived to resemble the days gone by, with Granville wriggling uncomfortably as we spar throughout. Jonty is on hand to mediate, taking a few blows of his own, with Granville lashing out blindly.

Around the melee, we take in another round of “rough with the smooth” and digest a slew of community questions. We chat Aguero Vs Kane, consider the merits of showing Sanchez and De Bruyne the door, and scribe our Christmas Fantasy Football wishlist.

        Not sure tbh. He didnt play well tonight but he isnt alone in that respect. He was dropping way too deep today.

        Amazing hey lol

  4. ppp
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    What's the best option going forward:

    A. Aguero + cheapo mid
    B. Lukaku/Kane + Barkley/Delafeou (+ have to bench mahrez/ighalo)

    Worried about aguero being rested, plus Lukaku+Kane's form is undeniable, but long term he should pay off?

      Kun won't be rested I

  5. ★Kuntheman★

    Coutinho to play this weekend then?

    1. Arctic_Orangutans
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Doubt it

  6. Gregor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Beckham.

  7. Mclarens F1
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    The case for Firmino,
    While i don't doubt that the small liverpool man have got his doubters, I'm here to give you a biscuit to chew on.

    First off, let's start with this quote Jurgen Klopp gave us the other day:"Before the game, I told him he's a striker who can sometimes be a midfielder – not the midfielder who is sometimes a striker".
    I believe Klopp will be giving him the free role more often, seeing as it fits him so well: in the trashing of city, he timed his runs perfectly, and showed us what a great dribbler he is (just look at the build up to Coutinho's goal)
    Another thing is his relation to Coutinho. I have never seen such a pair of teammates having such a good chemistry after just a few games together. What they showed is a deep understanding of each others deep runs and I just can't see why Klopp wouldn't want to be teaming them up more?
    His price in FPL is another good point: at just 8.0 he won't take your team too far back, and could be a good downgrade from KDB.
    Obviously I have not looked at the stats from this maestro, as I am not a member (

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

      Will he be able to have a performance like the one vs city if he is partnered by Tekkers and not Coutinho is what I'm wondering

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        He played well at home to bournemouth without coutinho. Just think he was playing a little subdued today

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

          Thats true

      1. Mclarens F1

    RMT

    Myhill
    Bellerin Moreno Alderweireld
    Sanchez(C) Ozil Mahrez Barkley
    Aguero(vc) Lukaku Kane

    (Ruddy, Watson, Huth, Bertrand)

    Sanchez still good for the armband. Got that gut feeling for him this week. He will Start? Wont he?

    Apart from that.. Good to go?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Özil (c) I'd say.

      1. FPL Mentor

        1. Arctic_Orangutans

  11. ppp
    • 16 Years

    Any chance aguero will be rested?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He'll be rested midweek for CapOne Cup game

  12. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    This is killing me - coutinho, firminho, or benteke for the next few?

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Coutinho.

  13. Numb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    So, it looks like Hendo on pens when he comes back. Could be an interesting one to look at.

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

      6.6 now

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

        Ridiculously good price

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

          But so is 8.0 for Lord Firimino

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

            🙂

  14. Tribecca

    This ref does like a yellow

  16. ppp
    • 16 Years

    Which one of this (expensive) lot would you drop?
    Bertrand Kolarov Rojo Moreno Bellerin

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Bertrand/Kolarov

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Kolarov if Hart is out. The fun times are over with him and Kompany gone.

      1. ppp
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        aye, I do feel it's time to get rid.. is there any playing 3.9 def? Just noticed it's the only way to also afford Pelle+Mane -> Lanzini +aguero...

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Nice move! Ryan Bennett seems to be your only pick.

          1. ppp
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Just spotted him too, cheers for that! Tempting transfer, still unsure between that or Kane/Lukaku + Delafeou (and postpone kolarov transfer)... decisions decisions...

    3. Mclarens F1
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      moreno expensive?

  17. Alittude
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez ozil Aguero for (c) is very hard decision

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      If Silva is fit, Aguero.
      Else Özil

      1. Alittude
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        i like your thinking

        1. Arctic_Orangutans
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Sanchez

  18. RangerMouse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Butland
    Rose - Bellerin - Moreno
    Ozil - Sanchez - Firmino- Mahrez
    Kane - Lukaku - Ighalo

    Subs: Henessey, Simpson, Zouma, King

    My current wild card team, with 4.9mill ITB. Want Aguero in, what transfers do I do, to get him in?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Don't Champions League goals count?

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        No - all stats are PL only

      2. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years

      2. Numb

  21. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Right moment of truth, do I do...

    A) Kane (-4)

    B) Aguero (-4)

    C) Ighalo (FT)

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A or C

    2. Jimbo123
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Kane owners will say A. Sergio owners will say B.

      It will be Sod's law that Ighalo out scores them both over the next 3 juicy fixtures.
