Granville was expected to miss this week’s Scoutcast. Flagged as a 25% doubt, we drafted in Andy off the bench in preparation for our resident Mancunian to go AWOL as he wallowed in the misery of his 30-point Gameweek.

To his great credit, he proved us wrong.

Granville crashes in from the off to join Andy, Jonty and myself in another episode that he describes as “cathartic experience”, as he rolls out the full directors cut of his woeful tale from Gameweek 15.

Spouting such gems as “someone has to be unlucky and it has to be me”, Granville adds an essential ingredient to a packed and lively session.

It’s helped along by Jonty’s endorsement of “playing the percentages”, roughly translated as the “Dullard’s methodology 101”, which has the four of us at loggerheads.

Once the dust settles on that debate, we tackle further questions from the community, featuring Jonty’s latest love letter to Aaron Ramsey, before rounding off with our preview of Gameweek 16.

This episode of the Scoutcast was first aired live via our YouTube channel. To view that full broadcast you can click on the player below.

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

    Cedric to Alde

    or

    Mane to Wally?

    1. Gashead9
      • 11 Years

      Toby

        This. All day.

    Good to go?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Aguero is out, no?

      Hazard on the bench? Not sure why you have him then

      1. nobwak
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        This.

      2. Gashead9
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Hazard is benched over Alli for this week only,he then has 2 decent home fixtures, but if Kun does not play then he will come on anyway

        1. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          Hazard, coming off 5 created chances vs Bournemouth and a shot off the post and an assist (or two nearly) vs Porto, is on the bench for you against a team that has kept 2-3 cleansheets in their last 25 matches?

          k

          1. Zizoulicious
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 22 days ago

            Leicester have tightened up a lot recently. A few clean sheets and very good defensive stats over last month or two. Still wouldn't bench Hazard by any means

            1. sinik
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 22 days ago

              I don't think keeping out a tepid United and a worthless Swansea = tightened up but to each their own

              1. Zizoulicious
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 22 days ago

                3 clean sheets in 6 games. Only 4 goals conceded... And check the stats 😉

                Chelsea won't score more than once imo

                1. sinik
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 22 days ago

                  guess we'll see! 🙂

      3. dd dd
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        is Aguero confirmed out?

    2. BrockLanders
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Yes. Nice team

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      This side needs Kane or Lukaku, the Kun/Haz thing is silly.

    4. The Dribbler
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      play 3-5-2. Haz to start, Kun to bench.

  3. Jose's Magic Omelette
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Ayew -> Eriksen for a -4 worth it?

    Otherwise I'm fielding Zouma and Azpilicueta which seems like too many eggs in one basket to me!

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Why not just play Ayew. I'd be worried about playing Swansea defence, not attack

      1. Jose's Magic Omelette
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        I dunno, yes Man City's defence has been woeful of late but Swansea were toothless last week against leaky Leicester. If Swansea can't score against Leicester I just can't see them scoring at Man City.

    2. the cromulent one
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      I don't know if that is worth -4.
      I'm dithering on transferring Ayew out for free...

      1. Jose's Magic Omelette
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        It's problematic.

  4. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Would you play Alli (NEW) over Vardy (CHE)

    1. Gashead9
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Why would you bench the league's top scorer?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Because I'm having a crap season and want to destroy it further...

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Only in opposite land 😉

    3. yemzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      nope

    4. Tansey
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Nah

    5. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Think I am

    6. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      No way

    7. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      No.

  5. che
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Gary Neville should have got the Seville job instead of Valencia. Could have done a Wenger at Arsenal number

  6. Tansey
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Thing is, if I buy Toby it'll only create an even bigger benching headache. What do you lot do if you want to get a player in but you've got my problem?

    1. Zizoulicious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Buy him anyway, you'll be needin that bench

    2. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Save the transfer

      1. Tansey
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Have stalled buying him for the last few weeks, now his price has risen a few times and I don't want to have to pay even more later

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Save you can't have everyone

    4. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      I got DDG this week and am benching him, but only after realising that Butland was a better choice. I wouldn't get a player if I knew that I was immediately going to bench them. If they were a must-have I would make room.

      1. Tansey
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        I've been saying that to myself for the last few weeks, and Toby's price has risen as a result. I fear this may continue

    5. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Benching headache is the biggest load of guff spouted on here.

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Agree. If you've got the money and trades, you'd want guys on the bench who get points as opposed to blanks. Then, if someone gets hurt, there is a ready made replacement....and starting options.

  7. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    How due really is Hazard? Is he about to score a hattrick due or just get an assist due?

    1. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      He's due nothing. Chelsea are perhaps due a penalty

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        ...which he may not take 🙂

    2. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      If we are talk in comparison to a pregnancy, I would say about 12 months....

      1. dcarlito
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        *talking

    3. Tansey
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Due another price drop, that's about it

    4. Gashead9
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Im benching this week over Alli, he then has 2 plum home games before I chuck him out!

    5. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      People have just written him off with very little data.

      - 10 chances created GWs 11-14
      - 5 chances created GW15, 2 SoT
      - Hit the post, header saved, one assist (and nearly a second if Costa could finish) vs Porto
      - Plays a team, that despite their great attacking form, has kept only a few cleansheets in their last 25 matches

      1. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Cheers Sinik, I was just about to write down in my notebook "not due" 😆 but he's got a couple of stats going for him.

    6. the cromulent one
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      I think you may be due to figure out how probabilities work. 😉
      But seriously, I'd say he may end up with some returns, but is unlikely to have a hat-trick any time soon, as that would imply Chelsea turning things around completely.

      1. Jose's Magic Omelette
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        😉

      2. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        I got him last week as my big differential, I think I'm due a visit to a psychologist 😆

  8. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Replace Zouma/VVD/Evans with

    A) Toby

    B) Moreno

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Why Evans? Good fixtures coming

      1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Just my backline. I have Richards as well but can only afford Moreno for him.

        1. the cromulent one
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          Then go Richards to Moreno.

          1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 22 days ago

            Was thinking this too. Is it not too expensive of a backline?

            Kolarov Zouma VVD Moreno Evans

            1. the cromulent one
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 22 days ago

              Maybe, but you'd be nicely set up over the festive period. We all may need all 5 defenders at some point.
              Unless the funds are earmarked for something else, I'd say it's a good medium-term insurance policy.

              1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 22 days ago

                Cheers Crom 🙂

        2. Nanoelektronicar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          VVD to Toby.

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      who are your other two?

      1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Kolarov and Richards. I only have enough to replace Richards with Moreno 😕

        1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          I'd do Richards to Moreno

        2. Chelsea Dagger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          I did this earlier in the week in case Smalling can't play

  9. JonnyOnionRings
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Thinking of bringing Ramsey in for Haz. Thoughts?

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      I'd give Hazard one more week.

    2. Zizoulicious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      See how Haz goes over the next few games first

      1. JonnyOnionRings
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        I've watched him a lot this season. He doesn't look the best in terms of FF. But with Ramsey back to is favoured position he could come gold. Nervous over taking him out if he starts doing well

  10. Scratch
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Any news on Dier's injury? just saw he got subbed off early

    Am quite disgusted, decided to save 0.2m getting him instead of Toby last week

  11. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Guess it was posted that Kun was in light training today? Not sure on source.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      I don't see him starting 🙁

    2. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Will be interesting to see what they do with him this time upon his return. Bony looked awful last weekend.

    3. Jose's Magic Omelette
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Can't see him starting on the weekend then.

  12. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    I didn't see the Spurs game.

    How bad was the knock to Dier's foot?
    Chance of playing?

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      It's weird that they felt the need to sub him in the 42nd and couldn't wait until halftime.

      They have Newcastle this weekend so they don't NEED to risk him if it could do with a rest.

  13. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Evening. Is it worth ditching Richards for -4 if I have Azpilicueta and JEvans as my other options for 3rd defender?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      No I'd play Evans.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Myhill is my only keeper, it has been a lean five weeks.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      If you think the replacement will beat those 2 by 4 in the near future then it may work.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        That's the thing, I like JEvans and Azpi going forward so I would hope to get the immediate payoff.

    3. Jose's Magic Omelette
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      No, I'd play Azpilicueta.

    4. the cromulent one
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      I'd hold fire. Never take a hit for a defender?
      Both Azpi and Evans could do fine this week.
      Always better to wait.

    5. tm245

    Granville: Has anyone on the site had a GW rank of over 3 million before?

    I've had 4 already this season!
    I had an overall rank of over 3 million for 3 weeks too.

    As might be inferred, this season didn't start well..

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Plenty have this season.
      2.77m plus a hit is roughly the same thing.

    2. A.T

      Modified repost: midfield of Ozil. Mahrez. Eriksen. Hazard. Gosling

      1FT. 6.1m ITB

      My concern is no City/Pool cover, City being the priority. My problem is who to get rid of - Eriksen has NEW so don't really want to drop him, and just got Hazard in so want to give him a couple of weeks.

      A) Gosling -> Silva
      B) Eriksen -> Silva / KDB
      C) Hazard -> Silva / KDB
      D) Save FT
      E) Any other suggestions?

      Cheers!

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years

        C is the answer.

    • Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Hardy Bucks is the greatest show ever made.

    • Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Better to get a Spurs or Stoke defender in? Stoke seem more capable of getting cleanies both home and away whereas Spurs only manage them at home.

      1. Jose's Magic Omelette
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Alderweireld for me.

      2. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Spurs do get goals and assists though, and might tighten up.

      3. Zizoulicious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        if you haven't got butland, Wollscheid would be a good shout - fancy a similar amount of cleanies as Spurs

      4. Gashead9

        Rose?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          Probably Toby.

          Cheers all.

        Toby

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Who will score better this GW:

      Lingard (bou)

      Or

      Giroud -4pts?

      1. Jose's Magic Omelette
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Giroud.

      2. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Good question, but if you take a hit who would have been in? See I had this last week, benched Kun for Cedric in a 4-4-2, so the hit would have had to reap 9 pts to have been worth it. Only Deeney beat that as I had Ighalo.

          • 10 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          I would get rid of Kun, and play 3-4-3 with Giroud, Vardy and Lukaku as front 3. Lingard would be benched.

    • DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years

      I would love to see hazard scoring a hatrick this weekend just to see all those who are writing him off scrambling to get him in for the next two home games against Sunderland and Watford.

      1. Jose's Magic Omelette
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Highly improbable.

      2. Gashead9
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        I would not mind that whatsoever! Could do with making some money back on him too

      3. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        We're not writing him off as a player per se but as an option why wouldn't we? Hasn't scored a brace in nearly a season and a half now.

        • 10 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        The last time he scored more than one goal in a game was almost 2 years ago - February 2014 against Newcastle.

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          Didn't realise that.still he was excellent last season.

            • 10 Years
            10 years, 22 days ago

            So were Chelsea. It's a different season now.

          1. Jose's Magic Omelette
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 22 days ago

            Last season everything went through him, now he and Willian share it more. His FPL returns last season were also inflated by a lot of penalties and there's no guarantees he's still on them given his recent record.

            1. DA Minnion (Former great)
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 22 days ago

              Gonna give him another chance anyway.
              You never know he might turn it around.
              Hope so.

        Kane for me.

    • Danny x-factor
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Butland . Gomes
      Monreal . Kolarov . Souaré . Prödl . Francis
      Stanislas . Özil . Mahrez . Ayew . Mané
      Kane . Vardy . Lukaku

      1FT . £7.5ITB

      Which one?
      A) Ayew ➡ Silva
      B) Prödl ➡ Moreno
      C) Ayew ➡ Coutinho

    • John Obi Wan Mikel

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years

        As much as he can be. Expect him sitting out of 1 game over xmas

      2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Yes, imo. The other bugger isnagud.

        1. John Obi Wan Mikel
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          Cheers lads, don't have enough for alderweireld and he seems a nice way of getting into the spurs defence, his attacking returns aren't too bad either

          1. andy85wsm
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 22 days ago

            I own him already but am expecting him to miss either 26th or 28th

      3. the cromulent one
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        I believe so. Alderweireld seems overbought at this point, so Rose is an option. But I would expect some rotation.

        Hard to sell your captain 😛
        Would want to have a solid 3 at back. Rose makes Alder less of an option.

        1. samaael
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          I am thinking I am not adverse to playing evans tbh

      2. John Obi Wan Mikel
        • 11 Years

        I honestly think francis could keep a clean sheet against united 😛 I Would do mane to ramsey

        1. samaael
          • 15 Years

          yeah I think him and evans are decent options tbh

        Lazy defending by Hummels.

    • Laporte In A Storm
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Thinking of my 5th midfielder options. Fancy some Spurs action given form and fixtures, but Eriksen, Alli and now Lamela are all tempting. Who would you replace Tadic for as a 5th mid?

      Myhill / DDG
      Toby / Kompany / Moreno / Nyom / Cresswell
      KDB / Ozil / Coutinho / Mahrez / Tadic
      Lukaka / Vardy / Ighalo

      6.0 ITB, 1 FT

      1. The Dribbler
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        i would still go Eriksen. Alli very tempting but Eriksen will score more points long term IMO.

      2. the cromulent one
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Lamela is fools gold... Unless you play Europa League Fantasy (is there such a thing?)

          • 10 Years

          There is and it's annoying.

    • Gashead9

      Ighalo owners

      Next 5 after this GW are LIV / che / TOT / MCI / sot

      Will it be time to get rid?

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        I don't think that run is as bad as people are making out.

      2. The Dribbler
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Yes it will be though i'll be keeping him and playing 3-5-2 with Ighalo as bench cover. Still great value to have warming the pine.

      3. Zizoulicious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Will revert to a 3-5-2 probably, with more midfield options becoming available and Kun being avoided for Xmas. Ighalo could be a useful sub

        1. the cromulent one
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          Yup. He is a great enabler of the 3-5-2, especially if you got him cheap.

        It will be tough, he has been ridiculously consistent. But I could afford to go for Kane and, given the fixtures, it seems the right thing to do.
