In our continued quest to mirror the Fantasy Football season, this latest ScoutCast episode is missing a key player, but shuffles the pack and brings on stars from the bench.

Quivering from the midweek rotation, Jonty and Az begin proceedings before Granville is introduced to add his experience to the line-up. Then, late on, Andy arrives to shore things up and see the team through the final testing period. Me? I’m ruled out and left to watch from the stands.

The ever-changing line-up does a fine job contending with another round of community questions, as they assess the midfield template and consider goalkeeper recruits in the light of Rafa’s tinkerings. Then Granville rolls back to a classic ScoutCast question, lambasting United fan Andy for celebrating a City goal to ask which comes first, your football team or your Fantasy team?

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

    Just did Jones > Christensen before the price rise... Team looking good? 1.3 ITB earmarked for Zaha > Pogba after Zaha's 2x home games in GW16/17, hoping Pogba stays quiet for next 2 games (Ars, City) on negative NTI until then & no price rise

    DDG
    Christensen, Mee, Daniels
    Salah, Hazard, GroB, Richarlison, Zaha
    Kane, Morata
    (Elliott, Niasse, Moreno, Dunk)

      Looks great - personally I would go Ramsey over Zaha.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Owned Ramsey earlier in the season. Waited patiently from GW2-GW8 then lost patience & got rid. Never getting him again!

        1. mazkills
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          gotcha, i get it...i may also be tempted by shaqiri and upping a defender to otamendi...

          just playing devil's advocate, zaha deserves a shout

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            Zaha seems to be a home bird, and with those 2x home games looming didn't want to sell just in case he did haul... but Pogba looks like Jose's new version of Frank Lampard now, looks too good to be true at 8.0 so would like him instead of Zaha eventually

            1. mazkills
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 19 days ago

              i read this wrong...certainly keep for now and upgrade to pogba...or a low 8 city mid if they look appealing after these next gw's

              1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 19 days ago

                Yep... trying to steer clear of City, each of them seem to only score points once every 3 or 4 games, the rotation is disgusting, and then when they actually play they also rotate who scores points

    2. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Nice team. All season and before the season started I have been waiting to bring in an Arsenal player and Ramsey was my preference closely followed by Kolasinac, I think I'm getting close to doing it. Pogba makes sense with their fixtures after the next 2. Good plan either way

  2. Slurpy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    A) Speroni and Lukaku to Vardy and Courtois
    or
    B) Speroni and Lukaku to Morata and 4.6 GK

    1. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Do you have Hazard or Chelsea d?

    2. Wildyank
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      B and Pope

    3. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      B as well..A) would look more tempting to me with Firmino, but that is based on nothing but thinking he will start to bring in some decent points

    4. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      B. Definitely if no Hazard

      1. Scout Pics

        This

  3. _Jane

    I have Salah , Hazard, Kane and Silva as a captaincy options cant decide : ( ..

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Kane - he's on a roll

    2. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'm captaining Kane I've watched him do first half demolition jobs against Watford and don't want to miss this one. I don't have hazard though which makes your decision a little tougher. I can see hazard coming off early if they go up by a couple of goals though as will likely need to start champs league too

    Beat the KneeJerkers XI: We have a champion!

    GW14 saw our two finalists, Ricky Bean and Gwion Daffyd, go head-to-head for a second gameweek. With about 30 minutes to go, Ricky was in deep trouble, trailing behind both Gwion and the Kneejerkers. But his captain Salah came on for a late 13 point cameo and pulled Ricky to safety. It all looked like another round would be necessary until Sterling scored for the Kneejerkers deep into extra time and poor Gwion’s race was run.

    Congratulations to Ricky Bean and his team “KFC Wimbledon” for outscoring the eleven most-transferred-in players of each GW for thirteen consecutive rounds and thereby outlasting all other 326 competition entries.

    This post concludes this season’s Kneejerkers competition – although I may be back later in the season with another short tournament. Thanks for taking part and I hope you all enjoyed it.

          I still have to remove 181 this GW. 😆
          I'll be capping LMS to something like 2000 next season if I run it as the admin part takes enough time especially in the 1st half of the season.

      I think Sterling, cheaper option and better atm, will get rotated surely but whatever, they all get rested at one point.

  7. simvik91
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Which one should I start, and which should I bench?: Vertonghen (vs wat), Loftus-Cheek (vs wba), Ward (vs lei), Mee (vs lei).
    Leaning towards starting RLC in stead of Vertonghen (Tottenham struggling defensively...)...

    1. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I agree...spurs watford may be wide open

    2. Wildyank
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      RLC

    3. kaneishungry
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      start RLC

  8. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Hm Morata or Sterling for (C)? There's Kane too. Think safe option Morata this GW not sure tho:)

    1. kaneishungry
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      morata might be benched as well...think spurs game will be open so kane(c)?

      1. Wildyank
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Who would start for Morata with Bats out injured?

        1. Scout Pics
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          Exactly, he won't be rested.

    2. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I think safe option for minutes is Kane. I wanted to captain Salah last week but had a feeling he would be rested so avoided and stuck with Kane. I'm using a similar tactic this week and sticking with Kane, just not 100% sure the other 2 will start

      Nah, I'd save here. You'll be smarter next week with 2FT:)

  10. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Fabianski+Cedric-> Courtois+Zeegelaar/Naughton for -4?

    Have exact funds to get Naughton, saving 0.2 on Zeegelaar.

    Cheers!

    1. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Personally I wouldn't do it for a hit. I wouldn't mind starting Fabianski the next 2 fixtures. Courtois might rise if you wait too long though changing the options for the defender I guess

  11. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    A) Elliot -> Hennessey
    B) Elliot -> Grant
    C) Save FT, most likely be without GK

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      U can't get Fabianski right? Think Hen is a risk.

      1. AnfieldLad
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        .2 ITB so only Grant or Henny

  12. Pep says
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Last year's winner revealed not owning a Liverpool mid last season was one of his secrets to success due to points spread across the whole team (Mané, Cout, Salah, Lallana, Firmino)

    Are we about to see something similar with City's goal rate slowing down slightly as teams shut shop against them and when they get a couple of goals, they will back off and not exert themselves by trying to go on and win 5 6 nil.

    So my question is, if City's goal rate slows, the points are going to be spread across Jesus, Kun, Sterling, Sané, DeBryune, Silva. Even Bilva and Fernandinho.

    After the west ham game, could it be a nice time to drop out City assets and double get a differential in midfield.

    Siggy could come good under Allardyce. Maybe on pens after Rooney's miss. Mane or Coutinho alongside Salah for Pools good fixtures. Pogba after the City game. Anyone else? Thoughts?

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'd stick with one, cheapest best option-Sterling. I doubled up on Liverpool, Salah and Coutinho, think that's differential tbh even tho Ramsey an dPogba aren't bad options either. Still, I wouldn't go without city option, at least one.

      He would have had Salah last season. 😉

          Firmino isn't a mid 😉

          1. Pep says
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            Never said he 'is'

                • 10 Years
                8 years, 19 days ago

                Mmm....never said he's a midfielder. Sorry

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I think Sterling is still good value, and potentially Sanè also. But the strikers at the minute are a train wreck. That being said, an injury to either striker would instantly make the other a great option imo.

      Overall I've gone 3-5-2 with zero City, I think Haz, Salah, Groß, Richarlison are better options than the city mids at the minute. Fifth mid slot is currently Zaha but earmarked for Pogba, really can't be bothered with the city rotation

    4. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I went that way,never got in Sterling/Sane and had Silva some time.
      Now few weeks without City mids/forwards and plan to do it till end.
      I think they will soon start to struggle but just guessing.

    5. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I think last year that was acceptable because Mane had AFCON, Coutinho and Lallana picked up injuries and Firmino is Firmino. Sane and Stirling are pretty durable so their growth in ownership looks like its only stopped because some people are bringing them in and out whenever they aren't in the points for whatever reason. In summary I think they are still good value for money but maybe that's why I'm struggling a bit this year..

    6. Ramboros
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Liverpool didn't turn bad because of points sharing. They turned bad because of injuries and AFCON. City have a better squad, and some of their players will be even better options if injuries occur.

      You don't hear people speculating about too much point sharing at Watford with their 12 goal scorers this season, and their unsustainable rate of 1.7 goals per game. Do we think Watford should be able to score 60+ goals a season?

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Calm down. I never said they 'turned bad' at all. I just asked a question.

    7. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'm worried that you're spot on the money.

      I've been advocating a midfield triple up on City for a while, based on them stomping teams by 4 goals or more every game. This clearly isn't the case anymore and while I think a duo of Sané and Sterling is a very nice spine of a team as long as you captain neither and have adequate bench cover, plenty of standout 'more nailed' players are starting to emerge.

      I'll keep my Silva Sterling Sané for West Ham (assuming all 3 are fit), but will then likely move at least Silva on.

      Jesus and Agüero have been nogos for a while now.

      Sanchez is likely back now and I'd like to own him as the ultimate differential, obviously requiring cash.

    Will Christensen start at the weekend do folks think? Really great cut price way into Chelsea's defence for those with Morata-Haz looking to treble up

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Brought him in so I hope so. 90% confident he will play, there is something going on with Luiz apart from a ‘knee injury’

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        It looks like with Luiz out they only have 4 centrebacks for 3 positions anyway - so only one of Christensen, Cahill, Rudiger will ever be benched. If Moses is injured & Azpi plays RWB Christensen is even more likely to play

    Pope - Elliot
    Azpi* - Daniels* - Mustafi - Mee - Mbemba*
    Hazard - Salah - Sterling - Ramsey - Sane*
    Morata - Murray* - Niasse

    0FT, 2.4m ITB

    Afternoon all, just wanted some thoughts on the team and the plan. Original plan was to upgrade Ramsey to Coutinho/Mane but the lad is on form and I'm now thinking over the next few weeks

    Sane > Mane (after West Ham)
    Azpi and Murray > Christensen and Vardy

    I'll then be able to do Daniels and Mbemba at a later date, most likely to Kiko and Duffy if prices hold, if not I'll go for Kiko and 1 other.

    Thoughts? Or should I pull a trigger on any of those moves this week? But it will be for a -4 hit if I do

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Not sure on any of those moves and certainly not for hits imo, see how the gw goes and then take it from there me thinks.

      1. There Can Be Only One
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Fair enough, the less convoluted option is

        Daniels > 4.4m DF
        Murray > Vardy

        or

        Daniels > Kiko
        Murray > Firmino

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          See how either does this gw if you're set on bringing one of Firmino/Vardy in

  16. We Will Klopp you

    Sucks that Hazard is playing at 12:30 on saturday, hate that slot for a captain. Best option for the armband this gw, ahead of Kane and Salah imo but just wish he was playing at 3:00

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'm leaning towards Kane, always feels so risky captaining Haz, he has form for extreme trolling. If he hauls, that's still great

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Kane and Salah are the runaway contenders for the armband imo. Hazard could be a good choice but Newcastle seem to be a bogey team for Che.

      I know what you mean. I love that slot for a similar reason..getting behind the sofa (non hazard owner)

    Fab
    Azpi, Otamendi, Ward
    Salah, Sane, Richarlison, Sterling
    Kane, Morata, Wilson

    Sub: Elliot, Jones, Mariappa, TC

    Jones to Moreno or save? Anything else I can do. 1 FT and 0.1 in the bank

    2. Kanteisking

        My ML rival who is usually very poor is ranked inside the top 10k and brought him in last gw. Inspired move considering their form. Now with BFS there he could become a good option. Still a wait and see for me though

    3. FPL Blow-In

      If Jose says Jones is back in contention I’d much prefer him to Moreno. By a distance. Great value

      1. Kanteisking
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Agreed, I feel I have come this far with him and held it would be juts my luck to ship bow to see him play, keep a clean sheet, get an assist and 3 BPS

      Would be much easier to read with a spacebar. I would go with A but maybe just Stirling this week and Kola next week if you can afford the likely rise by Kola. Unless you fancy Arsenal to keep a clean sheet against United

    2. Jafalad
      • 15 Years

      Well Bavies is a priority. Just boot him for Azpi or a BUR/BHA d.

    3. frankiefernandez
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      If you downgraded Bavies to someone cheaper who plays regularly (Tarkowski?) would you then be able to upgrade Tarroll to Hazard?

  21. joersherman

    Best sub 5m keeper to play every week guys? Haven't got a playing keeper atm..

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Pope, Fabianski, Ryan

      Good chance of CSs, saves and BPs

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Yeah Pope or Fab

      2. frankiefernandez
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I'd go for Pope of those 3. If you want another option I'd throw Begovic into the mix.

    2. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Just get The Pope. More saves, more cleenies, more naps.

      Cheap at 4.6 for over 5ppg.

      1. Jafalad
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Baps.

    3. Squashed
      • 9 Years

      Pope

    .5 itb 0ft. Feel no hit necessary.
    Play Mee or Kiko?

    Courtois
    Cahill, Ota, Mee
    Salah, Sterling, Zaha, Chupo
    Kane(c), Morata, Firminio

    Elliot, Kiko, Carroll, Fernandez

    1. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Mee.

      Stick. This is the season to keep hold.

    2. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Nice team definitely play Mee. Unless Kiko gets attacking returns as I cant see them keeping a clean sheet

    3. frankiefernandez
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Play Mee

  23. ☈☾

    Never taken a -12 pt hit before

    Jesus + Sane + Firmino ---> Calvert Lewin + KDB + Kane

    Yay or nay?

    1. frankiefernandez
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Nay

    2. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      If you're losing Firmino I would downgrade him to Calvert lewin and upgrade Jesus to Kane and leave Sane. I think Sane still a better option than KDB. I can see Calvert Lewin starting from the bench this week in case you need him to start though.

      1. Squashed
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        This

    3. Jafalad

      Do it - you can't lose, you can only win or learn, both of which are good outcomes.

    Was Alonso rested much over Xmas last year?

    Any sources where I could look this up?

      Nope. Keep hold.

      I think he played every game in the middle of the season apart from the Man Utd game.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Change your grav rating to "G"
      He played them all.
      Chelsea had no Europe and the season was less congested to this season.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        He played 65 mins when Spurs beat them 2-0 on January 4th.

    4. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      From memory he played all the games over X-mas but he joined the season a bit late which may have helped. He only started to get rested (taken off after 60 mins) towards the end of season when they were so far in front in the league and had FA cup which became a priority. They also had no championsleague last year so hard to compare anyway

    5. Squashed
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      As we saw the last match apz and hazard was rested. Think he might give Morata and a alonso a rest this time round. Much congested fixtures this season. It will be logical.

  25. Sims

    kola rising tonight would give me exact cash to do kola> Azpil for free

    its either that or transfer being saved. tough call

    1. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'm thinking of bringing Kola in next week. Think hes a good player to own at the moment. Man Utd may change that this weekend. If you want chelsea might be worth taking the risk on Christensen if you can upgrade someone else with that money you have ITB

    2. frankiefernandez
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Based on Chelsea's fixtures I'd be tempted to do it, but it's not a clear call.

  26. timlopez
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Upper/mid table in my league, thinking this could be a good week for a free hit to get me up.

    Thoughts on potential free hit team?

    Hennessey
    Moreno Alonso Otamendi
    D.Silva Hazard Salah Choupo-Moting
    Morata Aguero Rooney

    Bench is just as cheap as possible

    1. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Decent team but it would be a big risk. If players like Alonso, Morata and Rooney don't start it could be a disaster

  27. JustPark
    • 9 Years

    Silva dropped! Hope he'll punish those greedy sellers.
