This is a very strange experience.

Denied the opportunity to host this week’s ScoutCast by BT’s shortcomings and with the Wildcard active, I am forced to join you and eavesdrop while my decision-making is torn apart by Andy, Jonty, Az and Luke. I have to admit, it’s pretty tortuous.

It’s like my hands are firmly fastened to the couch while the quartet lapdance* their critique around me. How I want to get “involved”.

Aside from appraising my “ill-timed” Wildcard, the boys tackle your other community questions.

They consider the Liverpool double-up, question whether midfield coverage can replace either Kane and Lukaku, debate whether Alonso is essential and then look at how fixtures can shape cheap defensive acquisitions.

I’m pretty sure they answer them all exactly as I would. In fact, listening back, they appear to justify my Wildcard for me. I can hardly wait for next week.

    Please help before Salah price rise should I take a hit?

    1 FT

    Foster Elliot
    TAA Yoshida Danilo Hegazi Rosinier
    KDB Eriksen Mkhi Willian Carroll
    Lukaku Lacazette Chicharito

    Was thinking:
    A) KDB --> Salah , Danilo--> Luiz (-4)
    B) TAA --> Naughton
    C) Danilo --> Jones/Blind

    1. ReleaseBreaks_
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I would just do KDB to Sarah, no hit

      1. bellerWin
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        My defence is pretty weak I wont be getting anything from Danilo or TAA and if Hegazi doesn't start to make things worse.

        In the long run wouldn't be better to upgrade me defence first TAA --> Naughton & Danilo --> Jones/Blind?

    2. Don Van Vliet
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yoshida may be safe for one more week
      Personally, I'd get Naughton in and hold on KDB one last week.

      1. bellerWin
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Naughton for TAA or Danilo?

  2. jia you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Kane, Chicarito & Lacazette in the top 4 transferred out players! It wouldnt be a bad forward line to have this GW!!

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Is that your front line? 😉

      But yeah I wouldn't mind having them this week.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Close, Lukaku instead of Kane. I've been switching captains between Lukaku & Lacazette! Which one would you captain this week mate?

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Going with Lukaku. Not that I'm particularly confident, only because he's the runaway leader of the captain poll.

          Are you going with Lacazette?

          1. jia you
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            It's on kaku atm in part due to Ludo's convincing article early in the week. He's also in great form to be fair. Owning Laca prob enough. The only reason I fancy a gamble is due to my horrific GW last time out (27pts)!

            1. Pierce34
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Ah yes, that's what convinced me to stick to Lukaku.

        2. bellerWin
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I got the same front three as you Laca Captain

          1. jia you
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            so tempting but I don't trust Wenger at all atm!

            1. bellerWin
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              In the past Arsenal always bounce back after a couple of bad results. That's one thing wenger knows how to do best!

              1. jia you
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                That is true, but they I've never seen them so poor and all over the shop as now! Still a good punt though, I hope he brings home the bacon!

  3. Tabbara
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Which option is better:
    A:Davies + Alli
    B:David Silva +Alonso
    Thx

    1. bellerWin
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. Don Van Vliet
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A

    3. Metropolis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      B

  4. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I'm wondering whether to do Benteke to Chicharito now to avoid the price drop. On the other hand, I only have 1 free transfer so doing that now would mean committing to Chicharito for the next couple of weeks, instead of getting Firmino next week.

    Thoughts?

    The front 7 btw are
    Eriksen - Salah - Mkhitaryan - Redmond
    Lukaku - Jesus - Benteke

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Save would be nice and you could have a mini wc for -4 next GW if needs be.

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. Annoyingly I'm 0.1 short of Hegazi and Benteke to Naughton and Firmino for -4, so I might as well use the -4 for three transfers next week instead of two this week - could take care of Redmond that way.

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          yeah looking at Redmond in your team was the main reason that I suggested that 😉

          1. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Haha don't get me started on Redmond. I even had him last year for way longer than I should have, not sure what I was thinking putting him in my team again...

            1. jia you
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              I did the same last season but learned from my error 😉

  5. GPV
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Who scores more over the season?

    A Hazard + Lacazatte/Jesus
    B Kane + D Silva
    C Alli/Eriksen + Morata

    A leaves me with no Spurs cover unless I get Son in for one of Pogs or Mkhi.

    Any help appreciated

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I like C

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Basically Alli/Eriksen will outscore Silva by more than Kane will outscore Morata (not even sure he will outscore Morata).

        And it's Morata that makes the difference between A and C.

    2. Oliver Tockman
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      C for sure

    3. GPV
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks guys... That's what I'm on at the moment with Alli (I like Eriksen better but Alli will probably play more minutes because of CL suspension).

      I was asking just because I'm tempted to get Hazard in since I'm on WC. Thanks guys

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah if I was picking right now it would be Alli over Eriksen, but if I had one of them I wouldn't trade for the other. (have Eriksen)

  6. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    who is the better Tripper replaement?

    A- Jones

    B- Naughton

    C- Another defender up to 6.3m

    1. bellerWin
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Naughton

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      8 years, 3 months ago

      A or Kola

    3. Aussiemilan
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Davies

  7. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    A) Vardy and Salah
    B) Chicharito and Mane
    C) Lacazette and Brady

    Thanks!

      B imo

    3. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      b

  8. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Best replacement for Kompany (if money is available, but it's still a factor)?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      6m? Davies, then maybe a punty Kola, then Bertie

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        thanks 🙂

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      One of the top 5 on watchlist.

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

      Jones and bank the cash

  9. Johan Cryuff
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    RMWCT :

    Foster
    Jones Cedric Naughton
    Mikhi Salah Eriksen Brady
    Lukaku(c) Firmino Morata

    Elliot,TCarroll,Dunk, Schindler

    1. Meeseeks
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Solid. I'd go Alli instead of Eriksen because of champions league matches potentially affecting Eriksens game time.

  10. wanaj84
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    nyom will play?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I think so but many don't

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      50/50
      Team news says no.

      1. wanaj84
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        evans or gibbs?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Gibbs didn't make team news so Evans maybe.

  11. Nickofoz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Ramsey -> Brady on a FT or hold?

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

      If only 1FT I'd probably hold

    2. I am 42
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      im holding

    Womens US Open semi final
    3-3 Venus Wliiams vs Stephens final set.

  13. Ben the Mee
      8 years, 3 months ago

      When do you all reckon Trollkaku will show up this season. Sometime in the next few gameweeks? Trying to anticipate when to do him to Kane.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Show up! Are you avn a laugh, he's in great form. So unlucky with the 0 last week, he cudda had a hattie!

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          sry read your post wrong, he's playing in a much better side now so his days of trolling may well be over (wishful thinking).

      2. Don Van Vliet
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I think he's a season-keeper, personally
        Kane will most likely become indispensable, but it would be beneficial to have both rather than one at the expense of the other.

      3. BROOKLYN GOONER
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Next gameweek looking good...Kane vs Swans, Luk vs Everton. For me, I think the question will be when is the right gw to replace Kane with Morata. 8, 9?

      4. ScotDougie
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        His two games he scored in were against Swansea and west ham , I honestly feel a BARREN spell incoming for him time to shift him now for Kane you'll all see come Sunday

    • Tiamani Warrior
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Any new signings worth looking at for draft? Zappa or aurier likely to be starters?

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        In time both should be, Poch seemed to suggest @eve is too soon for Aurier so expect debut start v swa

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        If you have a weak defender then make an offer.

        1. Tiamani Warrior
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Pretty happy with what I have. Kola weakest so far but would prob regret trading

      3. noquarternt
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not for a few weeks I don't think. But could be huge later in the season.

    • chobentys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      WC team good to gooo?!

      Foster (Elliot)
      Alonso, Cedric, Naughton (Dunk, Mbemba)
      Mkhi, Pogba, Salah, Brady (Carroll)
      Firmino, Lukaku, Morata

      1.1 ITB thinking of getting Eriksen or Alli somehow but not sure who of Pogba or Mkhi to drop!

      1. Ben the Mee
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I'd drop Mikhi for a Spurs mid especially since you already have Kaku and no Kane

        • LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Isnt Mbemba out for awhile?

          Drop one of Mki/Pog for Alli if you can

        • jia you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Spurs have a great run of upcoming fixture, going without one of Eriksen/Alli/Kane is a bit silly I reckon. Coin toss.

      2. cult
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        G2G?

        Foster
        Yoshida, Jones, Zanka
        Eriksen, Salah, Mkhi, Willian,
        Lukaku, Morata, Firmino

        Elliot, Carroll, Long, Rosenior

        .9 ITB

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

          Who's your captain?

          Look good tho

          1. cult
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Lukaku is on the big money and will get another chance.. I'm not sold on him though... who do you suggest?

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

              Looks tough this GW might be a good GW to punt on a captain if not convinced on Lukaku.

              Morata in fine form

              1. Saint & Reevesy
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                The trouble with lukaku at 60%+ ownership is that it turns in a big gamble - back him and he you dont loose or gain much ground either way - don't back him and he goes large and you tumble hard.

                1. noquarternt
                  • 10 Years
                  8 years, 3 months ago

                  Yeah this.

      3. UpAndAway
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Those on WC, anyone thinking about Sanchez?

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          definitely not, not even when fit and playing, far too costly.

        2. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Problem is there's so many good mid's from 8.2 to 9.6 he starts to look a bit pricey - no doubt he'll rip it up but we have time to assess him

        3. Saint & Reevesy
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          watching brief for me - so many options this year.

        4. Aussiemilan
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          no but I know ill regret it, first season I havnt had him since he came to gunners

          1. UpAndAway
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Completely agree he's overpriced. Need to overhaul my entire side to fit him in. But it's Sanchez...

        5. noquarternt
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Too early. Need to see a few games and a haul or two.

      4. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 8 Years

        Cmon hune drop and become an enabler

      5. Saint & Reevesy
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Is Hegazi nailed on....?

        I was labouring under the assumption he is - but ive seen a few comments suggesting otherwise?

        If not does Hegazi to Naughton make sense?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Can't be nailed due to Evans & McAuley but my guess is he's okay for now as McAuley probably isn't up to speed and Dawson can go RB

          1. Saint & Reevesy
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah by the sounds McAuley is only a week or so away if he's back in training.

        2. Aussiemilan
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          don't think he will be, you might get 1 more week out of him at the most, id change to naughton

          Thanks TM oh wait...

          WCers can't of gained much TV over this break

            If you're using your WC just to gain TV, you're doing it wrong and wasting it. TV is just a bonus, but should not be the motivation for playing the WC

        8 years, 3 months ago

        So I've completely neglected FF between holidays and returning to college for the last week, pls help me.

        Foster
        Alonso, Yoshida, Naughton
        Mane, Pogba, Ramsey, Atsu
        Kane, Lukaku, Gabby

        Elliot; Carroll, Suttner, Mee

        1ft, what do I do?

        Kane to Morata? Guessing I missed out on mega price changes *sad*

        1. Diva
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Anything in the bank?

          1. Shirokov(c)
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Yep, a cool 1m

            1. Diva
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              I think I would be tempted to hold this week, then use 2FT to greater effect next week.

        2. noquarternt
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Ramsey-> someone better. Wouldn't get rid of Kane, been playing really well and is about to have amazing fixtures.

          1. Shirokov(c)
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Anyone 8m max worth getting?

            1. noquarternt
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Hrm not really. Maybe save? It's a good team.

              Typing Kompany in google has it everywhere.

                  No Kompany, no clean sheets normally.

                    This is true, but the idea of saving I like

                    1. Diva
                      • 11 Years
                      8 years, 3 months ago

                      I'm considering saving too. How's your season started TL?

      9. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I've been thinking about 4.5 defenders.
        Apart from Naughton who looks like the standout option now, which others would attract you?
        I've had Mee so far, had high hopes in GW2 vs WestBrom but he didn't get points. Also, his price fall percentage worries me, one failure and he'll go down.
        Would you consider any of Huddersfield's or Brighton's 4.5s?
        Any other worth mentioning?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          4.5 is a luxury, I'm scouring the bowels of hell for a 4.4 😆

          Yedlin anyone? Rotates nicely with Naughton IF he becomes a starter

          1. Greenbackbøøg…
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            I like Yedlin, has a good assist threat and a bit of flair, probably not many better options for 4.4 yet

            1. Netley Lucas
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah, he's got good pace and Manquillo can play both sides. The risk is if they push Clark to LB like they did v tot then I've painted myself into a corner 😆

          2. Duffy Dunk
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah I've started looking at fallen-price players to avoid 0.1 losses.
            Not sure about Yedlin.. do you think Wimmer will be a starter?

            1. Netley Lucas
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Well from what MH says he sounds a bit 'back-up' this season;

              “Obviously this deal was with a view to the future because we know that Kurt is a Chelsea player, but Kevin is our player now and we knew that this deal wouldn’t have been available to us this time next year."

              As Le God says Holgate might be good value but his numbers stink to high heaven. Might just abandon Jones and play it safe with Davies, Cedric, Naughton, Mee and either Long or Rangel

            Holgate?

        2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Holgate might be worth a punt at 4.4 if Koeman keeps 3 at the he will be a steal..

          1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
            • 11 Years

            3 at the back*

          I'm on lowe from husddersfield, seems solid crosser of the ball and got some pace, question mark over him taking penalties but that would just be a bonus

          1. Foozeball
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Unless new signing Mounie is the pen taker, Lowe seems to be the man for Huddersfield.

            Mooy was the penalty taker, but after he missed one, Lowe took the next one (Mooy was on the pitch at the time), which ended up being the last of the season.

            Then during the shootouts in the promotion playoffs, Lowe took the first penalty, which is usually assigned to the best penalty taker (unless it's Cristiano Ronaldo lol). Mooy was on the pitch for both shootouts, and went fourth both times

            Nice hot topic. 😀

              • 11 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Nice deflection. 😉

              Thanks. I should write an email to Mark too. I get what he's saying, but it's a grey area at the minute.

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

                8 years, 3 months ago

                Email works best. Guessing it was mainly in reference to the Brady HT? PL site has corners taken, the successful part is harder to find. If it was a free for all then it would be stats central.

                1. Diva
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 3 months ago

                  Plus Jonty's goals imminent table and others.

                  One of the reasons I set up my blog was so I could discuss stats found elsewhere without risk of them being deleted on here. The policy seems to have loosened in the last couple of years - possibly a reflection of the wider availability of stats generally - but that's not reflected in the terms and conditions. It's nice for the mods to have flexibility now, but maintaining the hard line in the conditions doesn't encourage (hopefully) insightful contributions.

                    8 years, 3 months ago

                    I don't see many stats on here tbh. I wasn't around for that Brady HT but I'm guessing Mark HT'ed it as he replied etc. Watching the FPL Show/daily twitter has stats. The Scoutcast give a few tidbits that you can get from comments of A vs B. Normally people flag comments that are major breaches and they get removed/moderated.

                    1. Diva
                      • 11 Years
                      8 years, 3 months ago

                      I guess we'll have to differ on how much we're seeing. The main point I was raising was there seems to be a more ad hoc approach now and that creates uncertainty. Que sera sera. I'll make these points to Mark.

                        Please flag the obvious ones in future. Mark gets the flagged comments and if around can reply quickly. Email will get a more detailed reply at the very least.

              Yeah, too sloppy for long periods, too many forced errors. It's amazing she almost overcame all of that. It's a testament to her talent.

              Anyone but Coco, at this point.

          Good luck with (K)ane. Spurs like a smaller pitch so could work out for ya

        I'm so confused, I keep hearing things about and seeing clips from the "FPL show" with James Richardson and Mark but cannot find the actual show anywhere... it looks like there was one yesterday - could anyone enlighten me? Would like to watch it out of interest

        1. Shirokov(c)

          Put FPL into Facebook. They provide vids all the time and posts on everything.

        Don't know if anyone is in the UCL Fantasy mood, but would like some thoughts on this team if any of you are:

        Mignolet (Areola)
        Sandro Kurzawa Jones Alexander-Arnolds (Gomez)
        Lemar Mkhitaryan Asensio (Salvio, Kante)
        Ronaldo Neymar Jesus

          Does that site load? I tried making my team but it said there was some kind of maintenance going on.

        C'mon then DZ where your armband going?

        I've Capt Kane the last two gws so I've lost a bit of confidence regarding armband

        My options this Gw are
        Hernandez
        Mane
        Kane
        Lukaku
        Eirksen
        Looks tough right

        1. noquarternt
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Kane/Lukaku/Mané are your only real options in my eyes. If in doubt go for Kaku and the poll.

        2. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years

          Nice and boring on Lukaku

        3. VFORVANDETA
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Kaku.

        • 9 Years

        Anyone considering Rooney after GW7?
        He has such a nice run of fixtures.

        1. noquarternt
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah, think a fair few are going to get him. Especially Chicharito owners.

      16. jdp219

        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Thinking KDB > Pogba this week, JRod > Firmino next week. Reasonable?

        Foster (Elliot)
        Cedric, Alonso, Dawson (BSmith, Rangel)
        KDB, Eriksen, Richarlison, Atsu (RLC)
        JRod, Lukaku, Kane

        And slowly upgrade the others. Save WC until next international break.
