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.

    Good morning guys.

    Would you rather get Sterling or Ramsey?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      If no Man C mid then Sterling, if Man C mid then Ramsey

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      I'd go with Ramsey. Might depend somewhat on how you feel about 'coverage'. I wouldn't triple up on Arsenal attack for instance

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Ramsey

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

        Already have KDB Mahrez Bolasie Lanzini Barkley.

        Lanzini>Ramsey this GW
        Bolasie>Sterling for a hit.

        Both City and Arsenal matches will be goal feast. What do you reckon?

        1. BecAuse79
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          Ramsey is playing in midfield now beside Flamini , well he is not a catch for now .
          Sterling is a better choice , but you already have KDB who is even better .
          my opinian is to buy Ozil and if you do not have enough to buy him save and buy Ozil later

  2. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Get in toby or rose?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      If they keep CS, Toby probably has more chance of getting BPs I guess?

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

        Rose better chance of assist tho

  3. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Was going to pick Zarate for Kun, not sure about that anymore... Thoughts on Giroud? Risky pick for festive period?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Well, I'd much rather have Giroud and Zarate 😕 Not sure what the idea was there but in terms of favoured striker picks its hard to look past Kane Lukaku and Vardy. Giroud is a solid alternative though, even Ighalo could still be a solid pick despite fixtures.

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        *than

      2. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Cheers!
        Zarate was just an enabler which could have given me a midfield of KDB, Silva/Sterling, Ramsey, Ozil, Mahrez and some cash for defense 😛
        Was considering Kun, Mane, Westwood to Giroud, Ramsey and Sterling for -4pts.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          They look like good trades to me for -4

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      What about Bojan if you're looking for diff this week

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Was trying to find a decent pick for 5.5 or less. Zarate had 4 decent fixtures but majority of their player are injured. Bojan could work, was unlucky not to get anything last week...

  4. john25
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Hey guys, really stuck between Ramsey and Walcott.

    Who do you suggest?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Ramsey for me

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Ramsey is more likely to get 90mins

      1. john25
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Isn't Walcott nailed now as well with the injured players? He can also play striker as well as RW

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          Yeah but more likely to get subbed with alternative options available

          1. john25
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 21 days ago

            You think Ramsey better pick then?

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 21 days ago

              I think they are both good picks. Minutes on the field might be the deciding factor though

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

      Ramsey

  5. La Roja

        Do it as in give mane another gw?

  7. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Draft league

    Pick one of zarate, lingard, or son to play this week?

    Thanks

    1. Jay10
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Zarate as he's safe.

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

        and attacking

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

      I'd ideally play Son as he has the best fixture here, but I'm uncertain if he'll get the nod over Lamela on the right after the latter's hat-trick. Think I'd go Lindgard tbh, as I'm unsure of Hammers' attack as a whole with all these injuries raking up & Stoke's defense has been great conceding 0 BC's in their last four.

  8. troller
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    lanzini and hazard> sterling and ramsey -4

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

      Can you just do Lanzini to Rambo? I wouldn't get rid of Hazard just yet, they have good fixtures. I would hold Haz for 3 more weeks. if still horrible, get rid

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

        this

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

    Best striker under 8.7 from next week onwards? I can see Martial doing well.

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      I disagree with the idea of using a strict amount of cash to determine an important decision. Get players who you believe in and ignore the price. If you don't have enough then find some cash elsewhere, this is when hits are useful

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

        Well, this is assuming that I'm going to sell Ighalo next week when fixtures turn horribly. The only player I can see doing quite well is Giroud and maybe Lukaku, who I can't afford. But Lukaku's high ownership + Giroud possibly getting rotated over Xmas is putting me off.

        Front three is: Ighalo, Vardy, Kane

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          I wouldn't change any of them, but if I was to sell someone then Lukaku has to come in. Make the cash become available to make it work or simply stick. Ighalo could be useful as a 1st sub and rock a 352

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

            Never thought of the idea of upgrading my 5th mid. I can afford to do Surman ----> Ramsey this week..

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 21 days ago

              Good move imo

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

                I like it too. Could make getting Aguero problematic though which could be a deal-breaker.

                1. Ryan
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 14 Years
                  10 years, 21 days ago

                  Not a concern till next year by the looks of it

                  1. Ryan
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • Has Moderation Rights
                    • 14 Years
                    10 years, 21 days ago

                    And it won't be hard to get Alli in for an expensive mid and upgrade kane to Aguero

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Kone?

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

      Martial has been very poor lately.

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

        He has indeed.

        But maybe all he needed was that 1 goal against Wolfsburg to gain some confidence? Would like to see how he does against Bournemouth of course. Bringing him in for Norwich at home could pay huge dividends.

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

          Getting in any united attacking players is, imo, FPL suicide.

          Remember he's only 20 and unproven.

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

            I know. I said he was a poor signing and I still stand by my comment (United fans slaughtered me when I said this). Haven't owned him all season.

            And before I get slaughtered again. When I say "poor" I mean in terms of cash spent and other players available. They could of easily signed someone like Llorente or another proven striker in another league for half the money.

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

              Agreed.

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

          I think context is needed here though tbh, ManUnited had their backs to the wall & were going for the win out of necessity. LvG also played a very attacking 4141 system which suited Martial up top. I don't think LvG will employ the same tactics in the league & will revert back to a defensive minded 4231 shape. Hence, I don't think ManUnited attack warrants investment for the time being.

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

            Wow. I didn't even notice that they changed there formation for that game against Wolfsburg. I thought they played there "default" team but went into the game with a different mentality

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

              It was a 4231 on paper, but Schweini sat in front of the back four & Fellaini was pushed further up front to overwhelm in the attack. In essence a 4141, & Fellaini isn't usually a DM, he replaced Scheiderlin there.

  10. troller

    silva or sterling

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

      Silva all day and all night.

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        naughty nuttman 🙂

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

      Silva

  11. The Nuttmxn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Have Richards, VVD, Darmian, Janmaat and Huth.

    Best thing to do is get in Moreno right?

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Toby/Walker then Moreno

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

        Seems solid, cheers.

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

      how did you end up with that?

      You need..Toby, Dawson, Moreno

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

        I don't really know tbh 😕

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

    So there's been no news on Giroud yet, right?

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

      Only other players saying nice things about it so all seems fine.

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

      Not yet, Nick, last time I checked. Thankfully hasn't risen in price though. 😉

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

        Haha indeed 🙂

  13. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years

    Good Day Ladies & Gentleman!

    Butland
    Kolarov | Moreno | Cedric
    Mahrez | KDB | Ozil | Deulofeu
    Kane | Lukaku | Aguero*
    McCarthy | Darmian* | Richards* | Westwood

    If Aguero is not fit after today's presser..

    Cedric + Aguero >> Toby + Giroud (-4)

    Yay or Nay?

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Well I did the first one to catch Toby price rise....second one mine is Aguero to Kane...You think itd worthwhile to remove Aguero if we need him in 2 GW for Sunderland home?

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        wouldn't mind a FT/HIT for Aguero.. if he is fit and roaring to go..

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      please help DZers 🙂

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

      I'd do Darmian + Aguero >> Toby + Giroud (-4)

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

      Cedric to Toby worth a hit? Not convinced myself

      Aguero to Giroud is a must do.

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Aguero >> Toby for a hit 🙂 .. else I would end up with 10 players

    5. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      I'd just do Agüero to Giroud for now. LvG could give us a better update on Darmian & his prospects for the w/e. Either way, I'd hold steady, Cedric may start still.

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        sure mate.. waiting for Darmain & Aguero news

  14. HNI
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    You know you doing alright in FPL when you have more people to rise in fplstatistics.com than fall 😉

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

      True dat.

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

      Pretty impossible to have 8 falling.

  15. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Silva or KDB ?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      KDB

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

      Silva

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

      Silva

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

      Tough to say at this stage but if you were transferring in one I'd go Silva. If you have KdB then hold.

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        I don't have either

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

          Then I'd get Silva. I'm probably getting him this week too. Will be playing no. 10 and has looked in great form upon returning from injury.

          The heartbeat of that City side. KdB will be out wide as usual and has disappointing shot stats over the past few

          1. La Roja

    Darmian ---> Wollscheid gives me enough dough to do
    Ighalo ---> Kane next week

    I wanted to do Darmian --> Moreno but then I'd have to do Vardy --> Kane

    Surely the first option is better?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      first option looks better..

  17. cruzex
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Varela will start?

    4,2 is very interesting 🙂

    1. Siva Mohan

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

      Very very short term option, and LVG loves to sub off his young players so you better hope that it's not before 60 mins

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

      he played 90 minutes for champions...

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

    Alright lads, team is:

    DDG, McCarthy
    Kolarov, Bellerin, Dawson, Nyom, Francis
    Hazard, KDB, Ozil, Mahrez, Surman
    Kane, Vardy, Ighalo

    3.8 ITB, 1FT

    What to do from here?

    A) Francis ----> Moreno and play Moreno(WBA) over Nyom(sun)
    B) Surman ----> Ramsey and bench one of my front 8
    C) Save FT.

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      D. Francis >> Toby?

      A from your options

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

        Prefer Moreno over Spurs defence.

        Also prefer Rose over Toby.

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          Spurs fixtures are better.. MP has made them solid at the back.. Rose could be rotated over Xmas..

          your team your decision..

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

            Fixtures don't look that great from a defensive point of view imo.

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

      C for me. B looks okay since you'd probably be pretty happy benching Ighalo over the Xmas period with his tough fixtures, and if you ever need him someone off the bench then he could always get you points.

      Would make it harder to get Aguero though

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

        Yeah... It would make it difficult 🙁

        Leaning towards A at the moment. My defence is a ticking time bomb. I can easily see Kolarov getting rotated and Bellerin getting rested the same week that Nyom is suspended from picking up his 5th YC. I'm only convinced that Dawson is nailed over Xmas from my defence.

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

          Nyom (sun) is a fine fixture though. And then you could do the same move next week if need be.

          I always use an "if in doubt, save" motto 😉

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 11 Years

    Having a dilemma to choose between Erik Pieters or Scott Dann for xmas season.any thoughts?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Stoke > Palace

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

      Pieters

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

      dann for me, immense goal threat and there is better value elsewhere in the Stoke defence than Pieters

    4. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Dann

    5. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Dann

  20. KING KOUNDER
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Would you get Lukaku even if you had Barkley ?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Lukaku is a MUST

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

      I prefer Lukaku far more than Barkley.

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

      Lukaku over Barkley.

      I'm not getting him though. Just going to ride it out and hope he blanks soon.

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

      Yes, great goal involvement from both.

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

      For sure 🙂

  21. Wardinator
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Morning guys, current team is

    DDG. Hennessy
    Moreno. Dier. Dawson. Janmaat. Simpson
    KDB. Ozil. Bolasie. Mahrez. Lanzini.
    Aguero. Lukaku. Vardy

    There's 3 moves I'm considering
    A) Janmaat & Lanzini ------> Wollscheild & Ramsey for -4
    B) Janmaat & Lanzini -------> Wollscheild Coutinho for -4
    C) Aguero -------> Kane for free

    What are your thoughts?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      A

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

      A

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

      C

    4. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      C - if Aguero is confirmed out. Too much value to sit on the pine...too big a risk to run without Kane, given his relatively high ownership and nice fixture.

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

      C assuming he is out. I don't really like A and B as you are getting rid of a fit player and it leaves you with a benching headache

    6. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      C if Kun out

  22. Puyol Pants Up

    Watford CS's this season:

    Away: 1/7
    Home: 5/8

    They do look good at home defensively Watford.

      Name the 6 teams.

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

        Everton(2), City(2), Newcastle(1), Bournemouth(1), Leicester(2), Aston Villa(2)

        CS against Stoke

          • 16 Years

          Wanted the 5 teams they got CS at home against seeing you mentioned Stoke.

            • 11 Years
            10 years, 21 days ago

            Oh, I thought you wanted the 6 teams they conceded against? 😛

            They kept a CS against:

            WBA, SOU, SWA, stk, WHU, NOR

  23. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights

    10 years, 21 days ago

    Last week 89.3% owned Mahrez in the top 10K
    Have a guess what % it was when the GW ended with no new transfers counted?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      99?

      where did my last comment go..

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

        Removed the question.
        Maybe next week with another double figure score.

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          94 then..

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

            More

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

      89.31%

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

        Plenty who didn't have Mahrez dropped out.

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

      A lot of the Top 10K seem inexperienced, so 94%?

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

        Higher.

        1. Saniul
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 21 days ago

          98.01?

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

            Much less

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

        97%?

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

      The answer is 95.73%

      When the update happens on FPL Discovery, the difference will be new transfers - sales.

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

        Almost had it 🙁

      2. Najoman86
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Once bitten - twice shy for those owners that benched Mahrez last GW? Must admit, it happened to me earlier this season also.

        Very costly.

        Any way to determine how many in the top 10k own both Vardy & Mahrez? Another benching conundrum this GW - do owners go with both in their starting XI or bench one...?

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

          FFF will have it after the update.

          Vardy @ 90.9 so maybe multiply the 2?

          I could work it out I guess.

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

          Last week it was 81.4% in top 1K

          1. Najoman86
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 21 days ago

            Cheers TM. Awesome stat!

            Time for the chasers to start looking at a differential or two...

  24. KUN+10
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Hello folks, i need help with this conundrum:

    a-Kun to Kane
    b-Hazard to Ramsey

    Both for a hit.

    1. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      A. if Kun confirmed out.

    2. Emp
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      would only take a hit if yuo cant field a strong front 7 otherwise and definitely wouldnt do b , would consider a if aguero confimed out.

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

      A if Kun out and you dont have strong 7

  25. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    KDB (c)

    who's with me?
    8.8 ppg at home vs Swansea....

    1. Saniul
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Kane with that rest he got last night seems too good to pass up...

      1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        He definitely is, I have him too, and its between those two.

        Didn't see his last two games, but two blanks after his little run makes me have not as much confidence

    2. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Solid (c) option - for sure!

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

      Decent option but I'd never be overly confident captaining him with those stats

      1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        what stats are those Nick? and have those stats changed the way he's been scoring?
        10 / 15 / 5 / 5 / 2 / 16 ??

          1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
            • 11 Years

            cheers mate

  26. Najoman86
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Currently have no Man City MIDs selected (running with Mane, Mahrez, Hazard, Ozil, Surman).

    With a FT this GW - go with:
    A. Keep Mane
    B. Mane > Silva or Sterling
    C. Mane > Ramsey

    Cheers!

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 21 days ago

      very. although the last time he and Couthino played together was away to City and we know what happened then.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      He hasn't played 90 all season.

      1. Scab
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Well I think klopp is easing him back into shape he looks like he's carrying a bit of weight. He did play 90 last night though
