Pep sunk his teeth into our Gameweeks, while an old moggy took a chunk out of my partner’s arm, depriving me of my appearance on this week’s ScoutCast. I’m not sure which was more painful.

At the mercy of the local A&E, Jonty, Andy and Az became my other emergency service as they stepped up on this latest episode.

Inevitably, Guardiola’s Man City teamsheet dominates your questions and the ensuing chatter. Elsewhere the boys re-appraise Kane after his Wembley haul, revisit Liverpool with their fixtures about to swing and consider whether the heavy-hitting midfielders are poised for a renaissance ahead of Gameweek 10.

As far as I know, I’ve edited out all the “pussy” jokes.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

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

      • 8 Years

      Are you playing for points or TV?

      1. Ange Ball
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        TV

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Then sell. If by any chance you are playing for points, forget his price and play him!

            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            He on my bench if Sterling doesn't play and Davies I only have Atsu

    Decided against the free hit. G2G?

    Elliot (Foster)

    Mee Duffy Jones (Naughton, Long)

    Eriksen Salah (C) Richarlison Atsu

    Kane Jesus Lukaku

    0.2itb

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, GTG

  5. Lukakuna
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Captain Kane or Morata?

    1. Ange Ball
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      None

      1. Lukakuna
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Tom Carroll it is then!

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      There's just so much uncertainty this gw, but of those two morata, was poor vs Watford but surely gets a goal vs Bournemouth

      1. Lukakuna
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely 😉

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Why Bournemouth much better last 3 since Cook in midfield. 2 conceded in 3

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe I'm underestimating them but still even if they've improved I'd rather back morata at Bournemouth than an apparent injury risk Kane vs United

  6. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve been tossing up between Jesus and Coutinho all week and I still can’t decide which of them to bring in.

    Any suggestions?

    1. QueefParkRangers
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hard to say without seeing your full team

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Jones Ota Cedric
        Salah Silva Ritchie Richarlison TC
        Kane Morata Joselu

        TC/Joselu to make way

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

      Pressers ftw. One has a lot less rotation risk.

    3. Ange Ball
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Cout

    4. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That's a weird choice given that one is a striker and the other a mid. On a wildcard?

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        No, it’s just a simple change of formation

    5. kidzac
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Coutinho all the way , scored 2 last year at West ham. Cheaper and nailed.

  7. Tabbara
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Guys
    Best replacement for Davies?
    Anyone other than city defence,it would be for a -4

    1. Ange Ball
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Dunk or Moreno Daniels

  8. squ1rrel
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which one to bench out of Mee, Monreal, Otamendi, Kiko, and Yoshida?

    1. Ange Ball
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bench yoshida

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kiko

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

      Kiko probably.

    4. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’m playing Kiko ahead of Chupo currently stumped this gw

  9. Hotdogs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Bavies > Otamendi for a hit or take the price drop (will hit my SV) and play Bavies (mun)

    1. MKHIBRADODO
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      save and play Bavies

  10. wowBOBwow
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone like this -8?

    Dawson, Davies, Chalobah

    to

    Richarlison, Dann, Dunk

    1. MKHIBRADODO
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nope, not worth

    2. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not really mate, no.

    3. Jasoooooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No way that's worth it

    4. dark91
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not me

    5. 42towels
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Might as well do it now if you'll start all the replacements this week.

    Hey guys, RLC to Richarlison for -4 worth it this week? Is RLC most likely to start on bench?

    Cheers

  13. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Considering this -8 all week. Not worried about taking hits

    Antonio(injured?) Hazard(disappointing) Sterling(Not starting?)

    > Ramsay Sane Salah

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

      Suspect Sterling starts. Nice trio to bring in though.

    2. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      ant + haz to rambo + salah

    3. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ramsey's fixtures aren't good after this week so I'd be weary about bringing him in. He would be difficult to move out too as there are not many players in his price bracket

  14. Kevtheotter
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What happens is I use free hit after taking -8?

    Cheers

      -8 disappears and you get GW9 team after deadline.

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers! So all transfers reversed?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Free Hit : Make unlimited free transfers for a single Gameweek. At the next deadline your squad is returned to how it was at the start of the Gameweek.

            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            What happens with the price changes of your players? Will the value of your team change after the Free Hit?

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

              It's like you don't make transfers for the GW.

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

                You have selling value to use.

              2. Anaheim
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                So if I transfer out players and their prices rise during the Free Hit, after that I will have a higher value of my team?

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

                  Yes, if you sold Alonso this week on free hit, you get the 6.9 version.

                  1. Anaheim
                    • 11 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    Thanks TORRESMAGIC.

                  2. Anaheim
                    • 11 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    Sorry, just another example. If I had Richarlison on 6.2 than I transfer him out on a Free Hit. And during this time he rises to 6.4 at what price will I get him back after the Free Hit?

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

                      Bought at 6.2

                      1. Anaheim
                        • 11 Years
                        8 years, 1 month ago

                        Thanks again, TORRESMAGIC.

                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  Read below. You gain no value from a player you bring in on a free hit. Next week he will not be in your team and cost more to buy

                  1. Anaheim
                    • 11 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    Thanks KIWIVILLAN.

                  Oops misread

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              You don't get any rises out of free hit players. Your team reverts back to start of game week and you lose gain value on that original team

  15. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Line up ok? Transfer needed?

    Elliot
    Jones, Maguire, Alonso, Kiko
    Salah, Sterling, Ritchie
    Aguero, Jesus, Lukaku

    Chupo, Carroll, Mbemba .5itb

  16. gavigan
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I have 2FT and was planning on Hazard > Salah all week, but am strangely moving towards Haz > Alexis (c) & Jesus > Firmino. Yes I’m a Liverpool fan and love Bobby.

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Taking into account final statement I would say absolutely go for it.

      1. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        *your

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That has disaster written all over it. Hazard and Jesus could both get double digits

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard hasn't had a shot in last 2 league games and Bournemouth defence has been good lately

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Could be on pens and has the potential to score/assist any week

        2. gavigan
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Haz is going regardless

      2. gavigan
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I’d say Alexis and Bobby are more likely too though

        1. waldo666
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I assume also that you would captain Alexis in this scenario?

          1. gavigan
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah

            1. waldo666
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Lol, as you indeed indicated in your original post! 😉

        2. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Easy decision for you then best of luck

  17. marquinhos
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which would you do ?

    1) Naughton to Duffy
    2) Foster to Pope
    3) Carroll & Vardy --> Richarlison & Tammy A. (-4)
    4) Eriksen to Richarlison

    1. kidzac
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Do all

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Save probably

    3. waldo666

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      yeah apparently Cedric to Dunk and TC to Richarlison

  19. TopMarx

        TM what do you make of this? Update 26th Oct 2017

        The first set of rule changes identified on the 13th Oct are now understood and coded. It has not been possible to identify all of the players impacted historically by this change so some surprise drops (or delayed rises) may occur over the new few weeks.

        A further set of rule changes has been confirmed. This is currently impacting Lukaku and Mkhitaryan. The changes should become clearer by the weekend.

    Jones/Duffy for Davies(-4)?

      Davies about to drop

      1. Magic Bean

        or not 😆

    2. waldo666

      Nope

      1. Tabbara

        would you get rid of him?

        1. waldo666
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Not for a hit

    3. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Would wait on Davies. -4 for defender rarely a good idea.

      1. Tabbara
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        got aguero sterling who may not start and naughton first bench

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I'd still wait

          Just stupid long term move to let go Of lukaku..especially with pogba nearing return and chelsea defense in shambles

          1. Ruth_NZ
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Wow. 3 errors in 2 lines. That's going some. 😉

            1. Why does it have to be long-term? When you transfer a player out you are also allowed to bring them back later. 😕
            2. Pogba isn't expected back till December.
            3. Chelsea's defense isn't in shambles. It is the centre midfield where there has been a huge problem this season and that has put the defense under pressure. Now, for the first time this season, they actually have 3 CMs fit and Kanté is also back in training. You will see things start to improve in terms of goals conceded as a result.

            1. Rash

              @Ruth NZ
              What's your take on Hazard? Is he worth keeping? I got him on WC for his fixtures but have no other way of gettting Salah in this GW but to sell Hazard.

              1. Ruth_NZ
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                I'd keep him this week if possible. But I'd also get Coutinho or Salah if possible. Depends if you can do both.

                If it's either/or then I think Liverpool have the better immediate fixtures.

                1. Horse
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  Thanks Ruth_NZ. I swapped Hazard for Salah and have given him the armband. Would like to keep Hazard but you can't have everyone. Maybe I will get him in in four GWs time.

              2. Philman
                • 16 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                I am in exactly the same position, and will be selling for Salah, or maybe a sneaky purchase of Sanchez.

        rather cryptically fpl stastics says:

        A further set of rule changes has been confirmed. This is currently impacting Lukaku and Mkhitaryan. The changes should become clearer by the weekend.

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Which means manual intervention. Which means they are continuing to rig the market unfortunately.

    5. gavigan

      My theory on Lukaku and Mki not dropping is that they were wild carded IN in mass, not counting towards rises, and that’s taken into account on their drops too. In effect giving them a huge drop threshold

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Why would transfers not counted towards a rise increase the drop threshold? Wouldn't it do the opposite?

        1. gavigan
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Think about it...

      2. GuyIncognito
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        My theory is that Man Utd players can't drop because they are owned by too many players.

        1. gavigan
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Which is also an effect, as a large amount wildcarded them in

      Mhkitaryan dropped

      1. waldo666

        He didn't

          Guessing he means this GW.

          1. waldo666
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Right, well in that case yes he did and apologies, bit confusing when it's in response to today's price flucs.

        Mkhi dropped Sunday morning.

    8. acidicleo

      any site other than fplstats getting it mostly right this time around?

      1. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years

        Will Lukaku, Bavies and Daniels drop tommorow?

      2. darrellb
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        ive checked a few, but fpl stats is probably the most accurate

    9. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      We need FPL to open up their price changes just like the stock market. Make it transparent and fun to play the system. This random making up rules and changing the system is getting tiresome.

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years

        This is a point earning game, not price... 😮

        1. danishdynamite
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          An admirable notion.

          I'm sure you written to fpl towers and insisted that that they reset your TV to 100?

          1. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            No problem for me, can still afford a good team. Infact my current is only 99m with 2m in bank...

            Crying over price fluctuation is stupid when its same for everyone and doesnt have any impact on overall score

        2. grumpyman
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          All games need a consistent rule environment to make sense. I don't care how aggressive/gentle the market is I just want a semblance of stability.

          1. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            If TV was linked with our rank, then I would have agreed... But concentrating on TV is waste of time, stability or not, if its affecting the way you play, then you have to change your style

    10. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      There’s something weird about Lukaku not falling. Both FPL fix and FPL stats had him as way less than -100. Seems an artificial hold.

    Own 5 of the 8 most transferred out players this week! Really hpoing some ass biting goes on this weekend 🙂

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That could go places.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years

        Giggity, as one of our finest would put it

      2. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        hehe

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I might actually be buying one of the most transferred out players tomorrow! Contemplating Firmino in as an enabler for Sanchez.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah LIV have the fixtures, he might come good. Dunno about Sanchez yet though, Jonty was bigging him up a bit much. The price is still too high imo and you need to be captaining him at that price really? ARS fix turn a little bit sour with City, TOT, MUN in their next 5 after Swans.

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Haven't listened to the scoutcast actually. If that's the case I'm annoyed he's promoted that much because I want him all to myself 😛

          I don't think he'll come any cheaper than 11.8 and I want to shift Lukaku. At that price, I can replace him with either Aguero or Sanchez and I fancy Sanchez right now. (not least due to City rotation issues)

          Week after I can downgrade Hazard and get Aguero if it looks like he'll start. Of course plans don't always work out like that and I may well end up getting Jesus instead of Sanchez tomorrow, or Jesus and Ramsey for a hit, who knows 😀

          1. jia you
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            ...fair enough mate, we really shouldnt have got rid of Ramsey for Sterling 🙁

      2. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        That's my plan, but I'm on wildcard. I still think Firmino is too good to keep blanking, and felt he was - by leaps and bounds - Pool's best player against United. He should have had multiple assists in that match.

        1. gavigan
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          He is Liverpool’s best attacking player, no doubt. He does everything, which doesn’t always translate into shots. Kind of opposite of Salah.

          1. jia you
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Rubbish - Mane, Salah & Coutinho are better!

            1. gavigan
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Time slows down around Firmino, he makes the others look good by creating space

              1. jia you
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                I get your point mate but stating
                'He is Liverpool’s best attacking player, no doubt.'
                ...is ridiculous 😉

                1. gavigan
                  • 14 Years
                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  I watch all their games, and that’s been the case for over a year. No one else can play the false 9 role he does.

      3. gavigan
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Same here

  24. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Fabianski (Elliot)
    Azpilicueta Stones Jones Ward Monreal
    Salah Sterling (Fellaini, Carroll, Loftus-Cheek)
    Kane Aguero Morata

    Which is a better move?
    A) Monreal+Fellaini>Mariappa+Richarlison
    B) Monreal+Sterling>Maguire+Sane

    1. gavigan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Azpi + Fellaini > Dann/Daniels + Richarlison

      1. gavigan
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Then Monreal > Chelsea defender in GW12 or so

    2. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A imo.

  25. burgioaguero

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hey guys I’m seriously considering playing the free hit chip this week but am looking for some advice. I have two free transfers so my team would be like this if I didn’t play it (Kane or Salah captain):
    Pope (NEW)
    Stones (wba), Cedric (bri), Mee (NEW)
    Eriksen (utd), Salah (HUD), Sterling (wba), Richarlison (STO), Groß (SOT)
    Kane (utd), Lukaku (TOT)
    Bench: Elliot (bur), Davies (utd), Hemed (SOT), Long

    This would be the free hit team though (Sanchez captain):
    Pope (NEW)
    Kolasinac (SWA), Otamendi (wba), Ward (NEW)/Moreno (HUD)
    Sanchez (SWA), Salah (HUD), Coutinho (HUD), Richarlison (STO), Groß (SOT)
    Lacazette (SWA), Morata (bou)
    Bench: Diouf (wat) and then just bench fodder

    Do you guys think it’s worth it?

    1. gavigan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I like it

  26. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do with this lot? 2 FT 0.0 ITB

    Fab (Elliot)
    Mee Otamendi Luiz (Davies Mbemba)
    Salah Sterling Gross Choupo (Carroll)
    Kane Lukaku Vardy

    Was thinking Davies > Duffy

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't sell Davies now

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku & Vardy to Jesus and Morata?

    3. gavigan

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Who do you want in?

  27. smix
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is Sterling expected to start ?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Played 120. Dodgy.

    2. Srv210
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Same probability as Aguero

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        More chance probably.

    3. gavigan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      3/5 chance, 60%

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        somebody is good at math

  28. Wakanda
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    GTG ?

    Elliot
    Ben Mee/ Daniel/ Otamendi/Van Dyik/Cresswell
    Salah/Silva/Hazard
    Vardy/Kane

    Fabianski/Mcarthur/Carroll/Tammy
    Already took a -4 for Sterling and Alonso for Ben Mee and Salah

    a) GTG
    b) Vardy for Firmino (-4)
    c) Vardy for Morata (-4)
    d) Vardy and Carroll for Sanchez and Calvin (-8)
    e)Vardy and Carroll for Ramsey and Firmino

    1. Wakanda
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      -8 for option e as well

    2. scootadee
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      keep vardy he has 2 good fixtures and who knows what could happen with a new manager now.

    3. gavigan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’d stay with what you have

  29. Srv210
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So I have Forster but due to fixture change I need a GK change

    So Best goalkeeper based on fixtures & form is ???

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't spend a transfer on GK unless you have 2 FTs and nothing else to do

      1. Srv210
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Fair point. But fixtures won't let him have a clean sheet & if I get a cheaper GK then I'll have some more funds

  30. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Play Jones or Magu?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
