Hands up, this ScoutCast is a bit scruffy.

Signed off work and delirious with man flu, we had to coax Granville to keep him from his sick bed. Fortunately, the fact he had a decent Gameweek helped persuade him.

However, he did insist on an early kick-off, with no pre-match warm-up. So Jonty and I were ill-prepared and it also meant that, head frazzled by a Lemsip overdose, Granville forgot to lock his children in the cupboard before we started.

Imagine the horror when they wandered in to hear Granville gloating about Yannick Bolasie.

Of course, you don’t have to imagine – you can join Jonty and myself as we risk contracting Granville’s affliction in order to talk about Fantasy Football for an hour.

Steered by another round of community questions, we also dip into Stoke assets, the captaincy, attacking defenders and, inevitably, with his transfers out stats climbing quicker than Granville’s temperature, we discuss Aguero’s fading star.

If you can bear to brave the chaos of this latest germ-ridden episode, then you can view the Google Hangout version, first published on our YouTube channel, in the second player below.

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

    Fact of the day. Sunderland have never won a game that Jack Rodwell has started.

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sunderland haven't won a game all season tho? Or since Rodwell joined Sunderland? That's amazing if the latter..

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        The latter mate

    2. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep aiming for 33 on the bounce

    3. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      An incredible stat even for Sunderland!

  2. dashdriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who to play?

    Stones or Smith

    Chadli or Capoue

    Cheers

    1. Zareos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Smith - more threat, and let's be honest CS potential.

      Capoue - Hull (H)

      1. dashdriver
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, that's what I'm leaning towards too.

      2. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Surely the first choice contradicts the second choice

    2. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Smith and Chadli

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Chadli over Capoue all day long despite Hull fixture

  3. Tronity
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How to fix the below with 2FTs and £0.5ITB?!

    Foster Pickford
    Valencia Mustafi Williams McAuley Amat
    Sanchez Sterling Antonio Snodgrass Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Benteke

    Been debating this all week but leaning towards:
    Antonio and Snodgrass > Shaqiri and Redmond

    Good moves? Any other suggestions?!

    1. Zareos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I like those moves. I'd also consider Valencia to a Spurs defender.

      1. Tronity
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, that move is definitely on the card. More pressing than shipping out Antonio do you think?

    2. umerlfc
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio to Lallana for me

    3. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      As decent as any. Could also go Redmond and Lallana/Siggy/Arnie/Tadić/Chadli.

      Or go Williams/Antonio/Snodgrass -> Pieters (Holebas)/Coutinho (Firmino)/Allen (Matić).

      1. Tronity
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I'm looking at Sterling to Coutinho next week so could do with some money in the bank.

        Determined to not take a hit this season but am really tempted to make the Sterling>Coutinho move this week.

    4. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe stanislas over Shaa if fit

  4. For Fuchs Sake
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why the hell are people getting rid of Ageuro before he plays WBA?

    1. Zareos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Knees are jerking.

    2. Mini Mane Mo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Because TP will park the bus?

    3. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      People are fickle.

      1. Mini Mane Mo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Fickle in what sense? Isn't FPL a strategy game

        1. Pap Le Cissier
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Changing frequently.

          I'm giving him another couple

          1. Mini Mane Mo
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            If he gets a combined of only 7 points for next 2 GWs, will you keep him?

    4. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's how the game works. Players that blank get sold

    5. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I dunno, I'm captaining the guy

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Bubz you attached to any teams for upcoming community tournament?

      2. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Aguero's price fall is tempting me to captaining him this week.
        But seeing my rival captaining him for the last 2 weeks (thankfully gave me a 30pts lead), I still can't gather enough confidence to do it.
        I do trust Kun completely, its Pep that I don;t trust.. ruining a fantasy gold!

    6. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Too much smack

    7. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I can't wait for the deadline to pass and see teams no aguero in my ML. Never ever imagined kun being a differential :love:

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

        *with no aguero

    8. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's great. I encourage people to take out the best and most explosive player in the game. Green arrows falling on my head....

    9. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Because he will never score again!

  5. umerlfc
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed.
    Since I've already taken price drops from Kun and Snoddy, I should be sticking with this right?
    1 FT & 0.4 itb

    Heaton
    Mustafi - Clyne - Holebas
    Sanchez - Firmino - Walcott - Allen
    Aguero - Lukaku(c) - Wilson

    Pickford - Pva - Amat - Snodgrass

    1. Zareos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Snodgrass to Redmond in preparation for next week and as Walcott might not play this week.

      1. super zlatan
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Looks a good team. Wait on walcott news. I also have Snoddy.

        Snoddy > Redmond is a good move if Walcott doesn't make it.

        1. umerlfc
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          What's up with Walcott?

          1. CloudSky
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Rumors of him being ill.

          2. super zlatan
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Apparently he is a doubt due to being unwell

          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Good luck, mine is on him as well, and we got common issues Walcott so that's only where we might think of taking Snoddy out

    3. Christina.
      • 15 Years

      Nice lot that.

      Kim? Korean?

      Yes

  8. BB-8

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alright lads, punt of the week.
    Which low owned player do you think will be this week's 'Stanislas'?

    1. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'll go first- Roberto Pereyra

      1. Delima
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This

      2. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This actually

    2. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lamela. Success would be the one but he injured

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Haha should've mentioned no bias 😛

        1. Rhinos
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Pererya stats are woeful. Lamela tongue in cheek of course but not many better short term punts imo

          1. BB-8
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Checked the stats and it is awful but early season form and Hull make me think he'll do well 🙂

      2. skodaole2
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        As a Spurs fan, really hope he ll be benched.

        1. BB-8
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Haha. Almost every Spurs fan I know hates him but I don't really understand. Gets decent shots away, has a few tricks up his sleeve. Any particular reason why you don't rate him?

          1. skodaole2
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            He wastes about 5-6 chances per game, he is arrogant and lazy in the pitch and wants only himself to score. The penalty vs MCI was a perfect example. Not a fast winger either. When he gets the ball i am always aware he ll lose it after 2-3 dribbles. I really cant stand watching him on the pitch. Last week vs BOU when Alli got substituted i stopped watching knowing we would never score with Lamela and Janssen on the pitch (and the only two players capable of scoring until Harry returns substituted -Son and Alli- ) and went back to check the final score. I can write more but i believe you got my point 🙂

            1. BB-8
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Yup. Got it. 🙂

            2. Rhinos
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Most of those points make him a great fantasy pick though 😛

            3. how now brown cow
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I agree with most of this but lamela certainly isn't lazy, which is why poch always sticks with him. His work rate off the ball is very good.

              His main issues are wastefulness in front of goal and a tendency to dive in.

      1. Bubz

        Good shout

      2. Christina.
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        +1

        4 GA, 3 SiB last week...Success out again...

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Delli Alli. 6.8% is fairly low

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Good call. Should get something against that Leicester defence

    5. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen maybe

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years

        I like this one

    8. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Bony could be a good punt

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It's really now or never for him. Good players around him, team in form, decent fixture. Monday night as well

      Cabaye

  9. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bookmarked Lukaku as my captain GW 10 a while ago given Westham's dire form and Lukaku's record against them but Westham now have 3 CSs in a row. Is it risky to captain Lukaku now? Would you captain Kun, Walcott or Firmino over him?

    Also, what are the expectations for the Palace vs Liverpool match? Palace have been kind of a bogey team for Liverpool recently. Will Liverpool turn that page? Waiting for Bolivian Seaman's article to check what the fans are saying about that one. I might have Coutinho,Firmino and Milner for that game 🙂

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku is a good a shout as any.

      Think pool will grind out a 2.1 win

    2. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I had Lukaku captain all week but changed to Sanchez. Expect Lukaku to get 1 but Sanchez could haul

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I was considering Walcott until I saw these rumors of him being ill which throws me off a bit. I don't know if it is the flu or what. He could play and be taken off after 60 mins if he is recovering from illness.

        1. Rhinos
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Arsenal presser will clear it up probably. Luk a solid choice but I can't look beyond Arsenal this week

        2. BB-8
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He will start and play 70+ if fit or not play at all. I'd go Theo personally

    3. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yea things change - now WHU will have 2-3 CBs sitting on Lukaku! Still a good option but would have to adjust according to tactics and form.

      Liverpool look unstoppable at the moment. Very tempted to double but the only way I can do it is @ the expense of Walcott.

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I have Firmino and Milner and thinking of getting Coutinho for Sterling. All eggs in 1 basket I know but I can ditch Firmino in the near future. Coutinho is the prime Liverpool asset to have imo.

  10. KUNingas
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Baines -> Fuchs this week.
    Allen -> 4.3 next week.
    Grant -> 4.6 after that.

    Or should I keep Allen?

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      See how GW0 plays out Baines to Fuchs should be a good move tho

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        GW0. Glory days. The whole season ahead as pure potential before the real disasters begin 🙂

  11. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My team is

    Heaton Foster
    Valencia Evans Koscielny Pieters Koné
    Sanchez Sterling Firmino Capoue Allen
    Aguero Lukaku Defoe

    0.4 itb, 1ft.

    Worth doing Firmino -> Coutinho?
    Or Defoe to Deeney?

    Any other suggestions?

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Defoe to Deeney maybe def not the other chonce

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Austin?

  12. Beatle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Snodgrass to Shaqiri a good move??

    Also looking to move out Deene from next week. Who should I get in at about that price? ?

    1. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      *Deeney

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I did this move before the rise/fall, I think it is a good move

    3. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Deeney >> Austin will be a popular transfer

    4. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Austin the obvious one. Not a Shaqiri fan but no standouts at that price range so why not

    Heaton
    Holebas - Williams - Lovren
    Sanchez (vc) - Walcott - Firmino - Allen

      1. lasmons
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, definitely the last chance. Go big or go home!

    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I've not made a transfer yet 🙁 1FT 2.6itb

    Heaton
    Mustafi Williams Holebas
    Sanchez Walcott Firmino Allen
    Aguero Lukaku Benteke

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years

      Save

    2. Shano23
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Allen out if you have 2.6 in bank.

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Bought him two weeks ago.. Capoue will go before Allen, Allen will become my cash cow 5th mid

        1. Shano23
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Nice team though! Allen may work this week but i dont rate him or Cap as reg starters.

    3. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. I'd save. Captain?

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sanchez BB-8 gotta be doesn't it?

        1. BB-8
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yup. Time to bust that early kick-off myth.

          1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            It's Sunderland.. we shouldn't be worried bud.. 3rd time lucky!!

            1. BB-8
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Yep. Fingers crossed

    6. lasmons

    Thinking of saving my FT this week to allow me a mini reshuffle next week. What do you think of the below:

    Benteke > Austin
    Walcott > mane
    Snodgrass > Moses

    Would mean a double up in Liverpool midfield as I have coutinho aswell.

    Cheers,

    1. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      doubling on pool midfield is a good idea at the moment.

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A is on my mind too, but i'm holding on to benteke this week
      I'm also keeping walcott. Still think he can play some minutes
      If moses is truly nailed, it's an interesting punt, but chelsea have some mean fixtures coming up

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yep def keeping benteke this week vs pool but will probably shift this week unless he really gets a haul.

        To be honest I need to have a look at Chelsea fixtures in detail but Moses might be a interesting punt as I only would have 5.6 to spend and it's a pretty barren bracket

  17. InSaneMan-e
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Need some help guys. Needing to bench one:

    A) Allen: decent fixture, home fixture
    B) Pieters: home fixture, 2 recent clean sheets
    C) Friend: 4 (2 bonus) and 6 last 2 games. Showing some form. Fixture not too bad either

    1. lasmons
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would bench Friend.

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yep agree

    2. ShaunGoater123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bench friend

    3. Coldplay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Friend

    4. InSaneMan-e
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks all!

    5. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Friend.

  18. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Experts preferred choice:

    Lovren/Capou
    Clyne/ 4.5 throw away mid.
    I have 2 playing defenders on the bench

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If Clyne, who would play instead?

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        ATM Capoue is benched.

    2. Coldplay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The latter

    3. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If I see any experts I'll let you know

    4. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is there an option without a Liverpool defender? Otherwise they are both as bad as each other 🙂

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I have Holebas and Smith as cover for injuries and rotation. Liverpool cover with their fixture aint that bad and that's coming from an Evertonian

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Fixtures are irrelvant for a team that will conceade almost every match due to their style of play.

  19. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    The "no kun" brigade is already waiting with baited breath with "lol at kun owners" already typed out on their screen are nt they. Ppl should be allowed to do whatever they want but i got to say the "no kun" brigade have been borderline aggressive all week! Nervousness disguised as anger probably

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably
      It goes both ways to be fair

      If Kun gets a brace, expect the owners to dish it out
      It's just he hasn't done anything recently so the other side have been more vocal

    2. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm in the no kun brigade and I've never written a lol at post in my life

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

        Your fine mate. I swear that all ive seen the past few days is ppl i dont recognise parading as non kun owners trying to convince kun owners that they are right.. Aggressively. Considering the amount of gravless doing it I really do fear a lot of lol@ posts this weekend

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I been on this site since it more or less first started and they always been there in a fashion but not as much as they are this season. Not sure why the sudden increase but it's every other post

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

            Earlier posters like that were so rare they actually were a breath if fresh air(FRAN!) . rhino put it right.. It's soul destroying now.

        2. Rhinos
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I rarely come on during matches. Apart from being busy it's soul destroying

          1. Hybrid.power
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Same

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Me neither mate. Not once . It shouldn't annoy me as much as it does admittedly.

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ugh. The lol'ers should be banned. The only thing I dislike about this otherwise fantastic site

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

        Agreed! Matchdays are not as fun as they used to be on this site. I miss the chatroom!

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          The chat room was fantastic. Saved me having to refresh page every 10 seconds for updates ha. What happened to it?

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

            We were a small group of 60 or so ppl back then 🙂 .. Now there'd be about a 1000 ppl trying to enter at the same time. Would be pretty horrible!

    4. BrockLanders
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Guaranteed he bites a few bottoms this weekend

      1. Mini Mane Mo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        either way thats how its gonna be

  20. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    People don't trust kun...but they trust sanchez? I don't get that myself but I'm sure one of you will give me a good tactical reason

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Team form
      (But I am trusting Kun>Sanchez this gw)

    2. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone can blank it's not a case of trust just Arsenal in better form with better fixture

    3. Mini Mane Mo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kun's returns last 3 GWS - 2 -1 1
      Sanchez's returns - 3 5 3

    4. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez more nailed.

      Arsenal in better form than City.

      Sunderland a poorer opponent than West Brom.

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ok cheers

      Think I'd drop sanchez before kun myself but I'll probably be making the wrong decision

  21. Christina.
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    One more week of Stinky pinky Willoliams in my team.

    🙄

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same here.. can't wait to kick him out next week.

      Who's on your shortlist to replace?

      1. Christina.
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure yet. I will have 2 FT's and might do a 3 trade, -4 make over.

        Morgan/Shawx/Lovren/Clyne all on radar....I also have Valencia that might go.

        1. Christina.
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Fuchs as well.

        2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'm looking to do a cheeky 3 transfer -4 too depending on GW10 outcome. Williams is my 1st FT to be used

          1. Christina.
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah, all depends who I cull from my attackers....might be time to set one of Alexis/Walcott on their merry way...

    2. Mini Mane Mo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same...fuchs will come in

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Fuch
        VVD/Cedric

        The ones I'm watching this GW

        1. Mini Mane Mo
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          SOT has Hull Liv Eve next...a little apprehensive looking at what comes after Hull

          1. Christina.
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            ...after Eve it's....cpal/MID/stoke/bourne

          2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yes but this depends on other defenders.

            Evans/Holebas rotation with Saints work out short term

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

            Liverpool and Everton are at home..and soton are beastly at home. I've already got vvd and he is going nowhere. Those fixtures after Everton are sublime!

            1. Christina.
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I love VvD. I had a good run with scoring defenders last year...Kolarov, VVD, etc.

              1. Christina.
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Pva as well.

    3. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Can't wait to get Cedric back. Been my fav pick this season I think

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        4.9 too that's a great price!!
        Hope he returns this GW

      2. MUFASA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cedric is one firmly on my shortlist. Good defense and attacking potential

    4. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fuchs for me

      1. MUFASA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        The problem with Fuchs is UCL

    5. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Can't wait for him to go. Unfortunately he's going to be lingering in my squad for a bit longer.

  22. The Silent Assassin
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Advice please Gentlemen...

    Stick or twist?

    Blind > Vertonghen
    Rashford > Deeney

    One? Both? Neither?

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Stick with Blind....go hull hunting this week

    2. Coldplay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd maybe just do the latter

  23. ANON.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling to Coutinho/Firmino or save?

    1ft, 0.2 in the bank

    Heaton
    Valencia, Williams, Holebas
    Mane, Sterling, Walcott, Redmond
    Aguero, Ibra(c), Lukaku

    Pickford, Amat, Evans, Fletcher

    1. BrockLanders
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd probably save

    2. Coldplay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Save

    3. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tempting tbh but save imo

    4. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks all. Looks like I'm saving

    5. MUFASA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Save. The extra transfer will be useful if Ibra blanks again.

  24. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My DEF is in a bad shape.
    I am aiming at offloading Baines / Robertson.

    Heaton / Pickford
    Baines / Lovren / Holebas / Robertson / Amat

    1FT
    0.6 itb

    Who'd you drop and to whom:
    A. Baines ➡ max. 6.0 DEF ?
    B. Robertson ➡ max. 5.1 DEF ?

    Thanks!

    1. BrockLanders
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A. Baines to Fuchs

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Spurs away this week though..

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A >> Alonso
      B >> Cedric

  25. There Can Be Only One
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I'm captaining Deeney this week. Have been going with the flow so to speak for the past couple of weeks and it hasn't really worked. Whilst a slightly left field pick he's not that pie in the sky. Or am I just being totally crazy and shoud I just put the armband on Lukaku or Walcott?

    Heaton
    Kos - Veretonghen - Holebas
    Firmino - Coutinho - Walcott - Son
    Aguero - Deeney - Lukaku

    Pickford - Smith - Amat - Hojberg

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Deeney a good punt just go with your gut

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      This is the game to do it

    3. Champione
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Deeney is one of the sensible captain picks this week. My only worry is that I can't see him scoring a big haul. I will be surprised if he doesn't score at all though

  26. BrockLanders
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Morning all.

    Foster/Pickford
    Lovren, Fuchs, Holebas, (Friend, Amat)
    Sanchez, Walcott, Firmino, Sterling, Capoue
    Aguero, Austin, Wilson

    £3.2m ITB and 1FT.

    Any changes needed or GTG??

  27. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Am I gtg?

    Cech
    Holebas - Pieters - Williams (I know 🙁 )
    Firmino - Coutinho - Walcott - Bolasie
    Kun - Costa - Lukaku(c)

    Bench: Pickford - Capoue - Evans - BSmith

    1. BrockLanders
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. GTG

    2. Mini Mane Mo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      gtg

  28. Jimjimjim
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Probably bench Allen over Aguero, right?

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      don't be silly leaving a 13m player on your bench

  29. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would you play Smith or Williams this weekend?

    1. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Smith

    2. BrockLanders

      Stoke have som brilliant fixtures coming up, so if you think Arnie can hit form, then do it.
