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.

    Which keeper do you prefer this week?

    A) DDG against Bournemouth (weakened United defence)

    B) Myhill against Liverpool (Out of form, terrible against newcastle last week)

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      DDG by far

    2. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Hmmm. I'll say DDG because LVG will probably find a way to manufacture another drab, goal-less encounter.

    3. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      I'd go Myhill if Smalling ruled out. Otherwise DDG

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      DDG

  2. Theatre_Of_Screams
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    De Gea --- (McCarthy)

    Bellerin --- Cresswell --- Moreno --- (VVD, Oxford)

    KDB --- Ozil --- Mahrez --- Ayew --- (Lingard)

    Kane (C) --- Lukaku (vc) --- Vardy

    I'm thinking about bringing in Theo. Would you do it for Ayew or Lingard?

    1. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      If you want him, I'd probably swap Ayew as that won't drag you team out of shape.

  3. Tribecca
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    So who is the new or interim coach for Swansea? Will they park the bus at Ethidad?

    1. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Don't know. Highly unlikely

  4. Pards Against Humanity
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Ok I'll keep it simple. Aguero for who?...

    1. Theatre_Of_Screams
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Giroud

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Kane in your case.

    3. Gianfranco Zola
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Is he confirmed out?

      1. Reiko
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Yes

        1. Theatre_Of_Screams
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          Is who out? Kane was just rested tonight.

    4. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Depends who else you have.

      1. Pards Against Humanity
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Sorry have vardy and lukaku

        1. Diva
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          Kane is one obvious choice, but Giroud could do well this week too (trickier fixture next week though).

    5. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Lukaku, Kane or Giroud depending on who else on ur team

  5. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    de Gea
    Alderweireld Moreno Bellerin
    Silva Mahrez Ozil Firmino
    Vardy Lukaku Kane

    McCarthy, Lanzini*, Nyom, Williams

    1FT. £2.9ITB.

    Any suggestions?

    Thinking of DDG to Butland this week, Williams to Dawson next week. Giving me time to decide on Lanzini to Ramsey/Walcott.

    1. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Firmino to Coutinho imo

        1. Reiko
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          Yeah. But here we care only bout who brings the points... i think

    2. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Saving would give you time to assess those players one more week and greater freedom to act.

    3. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Christ on a bike save lad.

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Wheres De Bruyne?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Can afford Firmino to KDB.. 😉

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          I think Firmino is a dogshit pick man.

          Could score well versus Newcastle but...

          KDB is captain material versus Swansea.

    5. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      I think Firm is going te be 'one of those' players, ramp up te KDB and be done with it.

      1. Schwarzer
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        What do you mean "one of those players"? I have him too and unsure what to do.

  6. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Andy is a great addition to the scoutcast. Think the quartet should be a regular.

    1. Theatre_Of_Screams
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Agreed

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Very kind of you both to say. I'm not sure everyone would agree but I do enjoy it when I get asked along 🙂

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Andy, you were great again on the scoutcast. 🙂

  7. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Night night.

  8. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Made a post 2 GW's ago saying that Ighalo will outscore or at least match Lukaku over Ighalo's good run when many people were doing Ighalo ----> Lukaku

    Lukaku last two: 6, 8
    Ighalo last two: 12, 10

    I'm quite surprised that so many own Lukaku over Ighalo (on this site at least)

    Stretching further back, (last 6 games) when Evertons fixtures turned and Watford still had "meh" fixtures (time where most sold Ighalo)

    Ighalo: 49 points
    Lukaku: 48 points

    Everton scored 15 goals
    Watford scored 11 goals.

    1. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Ighalo is more involved in his team's goals than Lukaku which makes it all the more important to have him if there is a possibility that team might score

    2. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      This is a good point. I think this looks a lot better in hindsight. Weaker team, less established player; he has overachieved. But well done to those who picked him instead.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Good point.

        But I did predict that Ighalo will outscore Lukaku over Ighalo's good run of fixtures (last 2) and he has quite comfortably. 😉

    3. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      i have igahlo kane lukaku, yes igahlo got more pts than the other 2 combined last week for me
      not first time it has happened, unfortunately i have yet to cap him !
      but tough fixtures comig up, liv che tot etc, but these teams concede
      tot 1 cs in 6, liv 2 in 7,che 3 in 15 ! so will hold igahlo see how he does at start of these fixtures

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        I might sell for his tough fixtures.

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      This is why I'm holding Ighalo as a hedge v Lukaku. Not working out too shabbily, atm. Having cash for Kun might seem daft today, but we all know what he's like.

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        could always bench igahlo if fix prove to be tough,? as his price still lets you invest elsewhere
        can you imagine if people sell at start of these fixtures and he still scores ! less chance of any rotation with him compared to others, 9 goals 5 assists for less than 6 mil

  9. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Play Mane or Bolasie this GW?

    1. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Bolasie imo

    2. Theatre_Of_Screams
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Bolasie

    3. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      That's what I have too. RMT, fwiw, has Mane scoring better.

    4. Eoin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Bolasie

    5. Demí
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Mane

      1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Reason? Gut? I want to play both but I don't dare bench Mahrez again. 😉

        1. Demí
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          Ahhh, i'm actually benching Mahrez this week. Think it's a good opportunity to go against the crowd vs a tight Chelsea defence. Nope, i just feel Mane is the better player and certainly goalscorer. Palace for me are better on the road.

          1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 21 days ago

            Food for thought. Thanks Demi.

      May fall by a 0.1 not more than that imo

    3. Diva

      -91% on FPLS. He's entering the danger zone.

  11. Penang Sandman
    • 12 Years

    no Kun is the latest training for City. Confirmed out?

    1. Penang Sandman
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      a lot of missing players regardless

    2. Reiko
      • 10 Years

      Yep. Ruled out this week

      1. Penang Sandman

        link news?

        1. Reiko

          Just see the updated team news published in this site

          1. che
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 21 days ago

            Can't take that as gospel. Wait for Presser

  12. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Is Evans good alternative to Dawson? I'm not keen paying above 5.0 for fourth defender, so is that 0.3 difference worth investment? Thinking of this defense for next gwks:

    Bellerin, Toby A, Moreno, Evans/Dawson, Richards.

    Transfers would be:
    1) Francis -> Toby
    2) Janmaat -> Evans/Dawson

    Would you play Janmaat against Villa?

    1. Eoin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Can't see why not. Unless he picks up the dreaded little niggle again.

      Yes to Janmaat in your XI next week

    2. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Given Evans injury record I think it depends how desperate you are for that extra 0.3m.

    3. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Good replies, cheers 🙂

  13. Eoin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Got myself 2 free transfers and 2.4 in the bank. What to do here?

    Butland - Hennessy

    Nyom - Bellerin - Moreno - Dawson - O'Shea

    Ozil - KDB - Mahrez - Deulofeu - Mane

    Lukaku - Kane - Vardy

    any help would be gladly appreciated 🙂

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      I'd downgrade Mane & upgrade O'Shea.

      1. Eoin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        To whom and to whom?

    2. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Nice team. Would be a shame to let a FT go to waste but any move could backfire too. Given Southampton's form and fixtures I might shift Mane if pushed to suggest something.

      1. Eoin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Yeah Mane is the ultimate frustration

    3. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Mane to Silva bench Delboy?

      1. Eoin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Decent shout - not sure about doubling up on City in midfield though!

    4. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Maybe:

      Butland

      Bellerin Moreno Nyom

      Ozil KDB Mahrez Mane - > Ramsey/Walcott/Silva

      Kane(C) Lukaku Vardy

      benc: H, Delofeu, O'Shea, Dawson

      1. Eoin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Thank you for such a good reply.

        Looks like a good shout - still have my doubts on two players from the one team in midfield though!

        1. Nanoelektronicar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          Cheers! Forgot to add Coutinho there, he solves you that problem.

    5. Gizzachance

      sun got few tricky fixtures coming up che city away, liv at home,, maybe oshea out to tot def

    1. Pariße

      Na, I wouldn't bench Bellerin there.

      1. Helpmenowbruh
        • 10 Years

        worried about firminho

        1. Pariße
          • 10 Years

          I think WBA are going to be tough for Liverpool.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      No, because you have Bellerin, so it can't be worth it if he c/s's etc.

      1. Helpmenowbruh
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        firmino to deli ali? or save

  16. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    I've got 2 from Arsenal and only Aguero from City:

    A) Hazard > Silva (4-4-2 & Ake)

    B) Aguero > Giroud (3-4-3)

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      B

      1. Pariße

        thanks

    2. Diva

      B if Aguero is out.

    Need opinion on this week lineup

    Starting 11 ATM :- http://imgur.com/yWyqqy7

    Good to go? Or should I play Vardy ahead of Alli.

    Any other suggestions are welcome. Cheers.

    1. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Vardy & Alli is a tough call. But can suggest u playing Sagna in defense

      1. El Cube
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Through. But its highly likely that Aguero wont play this week. So, Vardy will come off the bench.

        Btw, Sagna for which defender? Moreno?

        1. Reiko
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          Cathcart probably

          1. El Cube
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 21 days ago

            Yea, Watford defensive record aways from home is not that solid.

            Thanks for the suggestion. I´ll play Vardy and Sagna ahead of Agüero and Cathcart then.

      This is a side trying to catch up? Too soon, start Vardy & Sagna and don't be silly.

      1. El Cube
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        I guess, I´ll just bring Vardy in for Agüero. Sagna for Cathcart I suppose?

    3. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      If you're not removing Aguero then I guess it doesn't really matter if Vardy is first on the bench as he should come in anyway.

      1. El Cube
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Yup, that was the plan. But again I dont see the point of doing it, so I´ll just play Vardy in my starting 11 and bench Agüero.

        Thanks for the comment.

    Wish I could look to save a transfer. Unfortunately the hit to bring Kun in backfired and it’s time to do what I could have done for free originally and bring in Kane. A bad dull season.

    My question to top 10k consistent rankers currently lurking around the 250k mark, where do you hope to finish this season?

    SCOUTCAST SUGGESTION:

    Would love it if the scoutcasters did a 10 second bit each week on their revised hopes i.e. Jonty stating "hoping to finish top 10k but thinking I’ll land somewhere between 10k-25k". Would make for a fascinating insight.

    1. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      If I was at that rank now, I'd be aiming for the top 10k.

      Is Kun confirmed? Link? No scout tweets yet

          They are just predicting he is out. Which will probably be correct. But we haven't heard anything official yet so wait until we do which will be in today's pressers 🙂

      I thought I read yesterday that he wasn't interested. That was yesterday though...

    1. Reiko

  22. Bainesill
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Worth transferring Kun out for a hit?

    I have Lukaku and Kane. Could get Giroud/Ighalo/Bony?

    1. dennis the menace
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Say Kun misses this week, then plays next week. Kane scores 1 and gets 6 points.. You are burning two trades for 2 points. I wouldn't unless you don't want Kun back again soon or if youre going to hold Kane for dec/jan period..

      1. dennis the menace
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Ignore me.. you already have Kane.. I wouldn't for any of those three you have listed. Hold for now

    Troy Deeney
    Romelu Lukaku
    Harry Kane
    Ross Barkley
    Dejan Lovren

    There's something essentially wrong with this.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…

      No Firmino

      1. Diva

        Need more than one good game to win player of the month. 😀

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Lovren? Wtf.

      1. dennis the menace
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Lovren- Must be best player in his local park

        1. gruffyboy
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          Maybe it's a comparative measure?

    3. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      No Ozil?

      1. theeribert
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Yup, he won the Fans Player of the Month but apparently not good enough for a nomination on this one.

        1. Reiko
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          Well, think out of that list probably Lukaku will win it then

          1. theeribert
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 21 days ago

            I'd be happy if it went to Deeney.

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Lovren? lol

    5. fancy111
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      No Ozil is ridiculous... Loren made a total of 5 tackles in November

    6. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      I think Lukaku or Deeney will win.

      Does player of the month include the GW just passed? If So Mahrez should be there

      1. theeribert
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Well I don't think it includes that one because it was in December. What I don't know is how they dealt with GW11, Ozil played at the end of October and Kane played at the beginning of November.

        1. Nickofoz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          But there were only three gameweeks actually in November, so surely they count the first one in December?

          I'd say the first game in a GW is used as the date and the rest of those games in that gameweek count in that particular month. So Kane's game would still be considered in the October player of the month

      1. Reiko

        Injured apparently

      2. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Think he got an ankle knock, expected te be fine though.

    2. fancy111
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      More precaution than anything... He did get a knock but was runnin fine... Pocch was just protecting his assets.

    1. fancy111
      • 10 Years

      Will get rotated over Christmas break... I'm thinking of bringing in Toby for him over that period.

    2. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Subject to rotation, but can score well. Not a bad plan, but someone like Toby might be better for the holiday season.

  29. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    I benched Mahrez last GW and it completely shook my season. If I had not had that experience, I would bench Mahrez this GW and play KDB, Bolasie, Mane, Ozil, Kane, Lukaku, and Vardy. I cannot bring myself to bench him because of the scars from last weekend. But a part of me says that I should treat this like a slot machine in Vegas: he paid out last week, so this is the week to bench him. As you can see, my psychology is all messed up from the trauma of last GW. Can someone please sort me out?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Play it safe son, bench Mane.

    2. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Play Mahrez Bench Mane imo

    3. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Play him. I sold him in GW9 and lost more than 40 points. I'm benching Alli for him.

    4. Demí
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Disagree with both the above. Play Mane, flip a coin on Mahrez/Bolasie imo

    5. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Thanks all, much appreciated (especially at the bottom of the page). Personally inclined to Demi's view, but my team currently looks like the rest of the advice.

  30. fancy111
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    I just looked at the rested players and I'm happy for a change with my team lol...

    Kane rested
    Rose rested
    Alli 20 minute run out
    Coutinho 30 minute run out

    Big week coming up (I hope after last week)
