There was just a wafer-thin point separating myself and Granville in Gameweek 11, despite my rivals decision to ignore the force of nature that is Alexis Sanchez.

In a svelte but packed episode of the ScoutCast, my co-host and I discuss the Chilean’s “essential” charms and pile praise on the reborn Stewart Downing and the new, reliable Leighton Baines v2.

Around the usual regulars, we drop in on some old favourites, as Aleks Kolarov discovers new methods of running Granville’s Gameweek and I somehow manufacture a way of snuggling under the Van Persie duvet. We also carry on nudging the Harry Kane-wagon, run our teams through the Gargatron computer and go on “Warnock Watch” once more.

Squeeze into this episode out via this link or sample its tautness via the player below…

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

    Please help!!

    Forster Mcarty
    Betrand Clyne Moreno Moore Wisdom
    Hazard Downing Sterling Sanchez Marney
    Welbeck Aguero Lukaku

    0.5 ITB and 0 FT

    Will lukaku start this weekend as he just had another 90 min last night... should i take hits for sterling moreno?? any suggestion or should i hold tight and logout

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years

      Lukaku and Moreno out. Bring in Costa and cheap defender or Baines and Sakho would be my thoughts

      1. King Huth
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        for a -8?

        1. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Ah sorry didnt notice the 0FT. Yeesh you have it rough. Probably worth it still if Lukaku benched and Moreno up against Chelsea. but hard to take an 8pointer alright

    Aguero is never going to be particularly highly owned, is he? I mean he's about to hit 12.7m and still only has 25% ownership which is relatively low given the likes of Costa and Cesc have well over twice that.

    Basically, he'll soon be too expensive for anyone who doesn't already own him, no?

    1. 420king
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      nah, you can always downgrade something if you really want him

    2. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Good point. But at that prive he will pretty much have to be 'essential' for people to need to get him

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      RvP was once 14m and still had buyers. If Aguero continues to prove himself, the 12.7m price tag will look cheaper to non-owners.

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

        That's alright, would just mean they need to sacrifice another big hitter to accomodate him

    4. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It's just a matter of time before his next hat trick and he gains another 10% ownership. He's too good.

    5. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I was one of those people who kept telling themselves that Aguero wasn't necessary, at least not whilst Costa was outscoring him. Then he scored 4 against Spurs and that all changed! Thankfully for some that was in the same week that Tadic exploded which softened the blow though, but having Aguero in my team lets me watch scores without hiding behind the bookcase!

  3. Venom Snake

    Repost.

    Anyone else think Kun may not start this week?

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

      There was an interesting article, in the guardian I think, about his new training regime - he seems to have a lot more capacity than last season. I think he'll start

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Nah he'll start. People seem to think he gets rested a bit, but when fit, he usually plays regardless. He even plays all the hectic scheduled games round xmas

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I have seen no evidence to suggest this. City need a win.

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

        Didn't he play 90 in CL?

        1. Willis.
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Yes

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Does that matter? He's fit enough.

        3. The Finnisher
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Well you can rule out Sanchez, Hazard and many others too.

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

            Those players aren't wrapped up in cotton wool like Kun

            1. The Finnisher
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              He hasn't been wrapped up in cotton wool since the start of the season.

              Pellegrini has stated last season Kun was suffering with niggling injuries all season and this season he is completely injury free.

          2. Willis.
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Sanchez and Hazard aren't injury prone.

            1. The Finnisher
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              So you think he won't start?

              Your trolling has been incorrect all season so he's nailed on to start, then.

              1. Willis.
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                I didn't say that. You need to calm down.

                1. The Finnisher
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Haha, I am calm. I just assumed you were chiming in because you always have a player that WILL be benched each week and this week it's Aguero.

                  1. Piggs Boson
                    • 14 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    I can't believe you're taking the Willis bait JOA 🙂

                    1. The Finnisher
                      • 14 Years
                      11 years, 1 month ago

                      I'm not, just making sure everyone knows Willis talks out of his arse 🙂

      2. Ser Football 42
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Basacially this. city needs the win and needs to redeem themselves from this past week

      3. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I fully agree.

    3. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Even if he doesn't start he'll play at least 30 minutes I reckon. That's enough for him to do damage.

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

        Not unless city improve and give him better service

    4. Four Four Boyz
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Gumpf. Of course he will start!! They are in dire need of a win, playing terribly and Pellegrini will be starting to feel pressure. Leaving your best player out and potentially opening yourself up to defeat by one of the teams that should go down would be disastrous.

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

        This sums it up perfectly. Ridiculous to think he might not start.

      2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly.^^^^

    5. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I wrote a post a few weeks back that got around +25 votes on his schedule... One of the things I highlighted was the fact that he only has one international game during the break, and that is about 10 days after the qpr game, so there's no reason why he shouldn't play. QPR have also been good recently while City have been atrocious, so Pellegrini will have to play him.

  4. Arsenal USA FC

    How is this -4?

    Welbeck/Sterling/Siggy -> Sakho/Sanchez/Downing

    _____________________________
    (2FT's- .1 in bank)

    1. Jay_
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Those are the 6 most mentioned names I've seen here all week , earlier in the week you would have saved loads, that would have been the main advantage, still good transfers though, ;might as well wait and see what tomorrow brings now Siggy has just dropped just now

    2. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Seriously considering starting Wanyama ahead of Eriksen this week as i think Eriksen may be benched and only play a cameo role. Sound logic?

      1. SC not pearls before swine
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        No for me, because Wanyama could be benched as well.

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Madness. No way he is benched on his current form for Cork.

          1. SC not pearls before swine
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            I read a post by Lucy, resident Saints fan, saying essentially "Don't buy Wanyama, he won't score again and Cork will play in easy home games." She did qualify saying Wanyama may now start based on current form, but a Wanyama start is surely not a certainty.

            1. Walsh
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              She has been bashing Wanyama since preseason. I agree it is folly to buy him as he is just a CDM but it is madness to think that he would be benched right now given his form and I'm sticking with it.

              1. Ser Football 42
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                I'm a saints fan too and I say don't buy him just for the fact he plays pretty deep back most of the time. He should have his spot in the 11 though

              2. SC not pearls before swine
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Sherlock Holmes agrees with me! Stand down Dr Walshson

      2. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Eek has it really come to this? If it has, I'd say this is where you use one of those handy transfers you get each week 🙂

      3. NissA
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I'm with the same dilemma, whether to play Eriksen or Siggy.

      4. Ser Football 42
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Wanyama plays pretty deep back most of the time for Southampton. He's a great shout but I'm not sure about starting him

      5. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Wanyama isn't sure starter too 🙂

      6. theBoose
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        after his poor display against tripolis it could well be possible. it's not a bad idea.

      7. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        11 years, 1 month ago

        He was hooked at halftime last prem game and just played 70 mins in europa, i think Pochettino wants to play two up top Kane plus Ade/Soldado which means no Eriksen.

    3. Old
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Have Downing - should I double up on WHM with Sakho in? (For Welbeck). Or - Austin/Berhino/other ? ...

      1. Old
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        And I have Chambers and Sanchez, i.e. good Arsenal cover

      2. NissA
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I have done that this week, I'll be playing with both West Ham players; but I must say, Austin was pretty tempting, I reckon he'll score as well this week.

        1. NissA
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          So, I'd say it's fine to double up, West Ham are doing great, and they both keep on racking up the points. I do not know whether or not Carroll aproaching match fitness would affect this set up though, but seeing as he's been delivering weekly, I'd imagine he's safe.

          1. Old
            • 11 Years

      Good evening all. Continued internet issues at home mean resorting to crappy 2g mobile
      internet. The disadvantages of living out in the wilds. Anything interesting going on?

      1. 420king
        • 11 Years

        where you live?

        1. Goodnight Kiwi

          North of Scotland. This is painful.

          1. rickardinho
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            North of Scotland is beautiful... did a 4 day road trip up there from London a couple of summers ago... through Edinburgh, Nairn, Ullapool, Durness (at the very north!), then down through Fort Augustus and Inverness 🙂

            Gotta say its absolutely stunning scenery up there. The beaches and cliffs near Durness could might as well be in the Caribean (apart from the freezing water.. which i swam in... for 4.5 seconds!) 🙂

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

              I live in Keith which is about an hour east of Nairn and yes it is beautiful. We have so many beaches which are pretty much empty.

      2. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Not much mate. the usual. People taking hits to get Sanchez. Others taking ihts to get Di Maria. Arvin taing hits to get Downing. You know, the usual 😆

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

          Exactly the same as the rest of the week then!

          1. BeachBadger
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Yepo 😆

          2. BeachBadger
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Looking forward to going into this week having made 0 transfers. One step ahead of the cruve before a ball has been kicked

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

              Wish I could say the same. No hits at least

              1. BeachBadger
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Well if it's any consolation Im also expecting a red arrow lol

    5. SirBruno
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      do you think a bit too late to bring Sanchez in? with his next fixtures Swansea and Man United. He won't be making points like previous fix imo.

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        He makes points when he wants.

      2. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        He will score when he wants and Swans/Utd's defense rock solid 😀

      3. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Probably not too late. But this weeks purchasers have really missed out.

      4. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Arsenal should still score in these games, esp Sanchez against thatUnited defence.

    6. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Lamela was subbed early in Europa, any hint of injury or was it tactical?

      1. theBoose
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        tactical. resting him for this weekend.

    7. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I know i keep banging on about it but can anyone out there beat 81.74% as captain percentage...and this is without Costa and Aguero

      Total captain score 188
      Captain score if you had swapped all C / VC 80
      Captain score as % of overall score 31.97%
      Highest possible captain score 230
      Captain score as % of your highest possible captain score 81.74%
      Number of different captains 7
      Number of different players 37
      Three most owned players Sterling (10),
      Hutton (9),
      Elliot (8)
      Most captained player Pellè (4)
      Total score of autosubs 28
      Total score of unused subs 89
      Unused sub score as % of of overall score 15.14%
      Points spent on transfers 16

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Nice owrk mate. I think Costa and Aguero might be the cause of peoples poor percentage. They either score big or they blank. i take it you've captianed Sanchez the last 3 gameweeks which helps lol

        1. d1sable
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Just last week.

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        43.28% 😎

      3. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        thats insane... I'm at 42% right now, which is the highest its been all season. Still only 26 points behind 5k, but damn I've missed out on so many points!

        So depressing to see this too:

        Total captain score 108
        Captain score if you had swapped all C / VC 106

        My VC has so often scored better than my Captain 🙁

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          At 2.9k I feel like I've missed out on a truly great rank. I experimented with various captains, like RvP(QPR).

          1. rickardinho
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Thats hardly experimental!

            I captained Tadic in GW5 or GW6 iirc for 6 points, but have otherwise stuck to fairly standard choices of Costa, Rooney, Aguero... which makes it all the more depressing that I've maxed out at Aguero's 8 point captain haul...

            1. Piggs Boson
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Well it got me 1pt while Costa scored 17pts! There have been others as well.

              Captaincy is difficult. It could be huge this week as well.

              1. rickardinho
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah no doubt. Aguero, Pelle, ADM, etc... all good options

                I always choose the one who scores less than half as much as my highest scorer... Not A SINGLE TIME have i chosen the right guy 🙁

          2. rickardinho

            and 2.9k is a great rank.. 😉

            My aim going into this season (my first) was to finish in the top 10%, meaning 300k-ish... so being at 23k now with WC intact and a good team is pretty pleasing! 🙂

          For me:
          Total captain score: 130
          Captain score if you had swapped all C / VC: 150

          😆

        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        To be fair, not having Costa and Aguero probably is an advantage in that metric because a) You're able to avoid herd mentality even if there's a better option and b) if you didn't pick Aguero/Costa for their hattricks it doesn't harm your optimal captain percentage.

        That said, well done sir!!!

        48.51% for me. Honestly, I've picked the wrong captain every week except for the week Aguero got 19. I think that haul and Rooney's 10 (when Costa got 17) are my only double figure captain hauls.

      Bench Welbeck or Chambers?

      1. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        bench the defender obviously

        1. Blue Lion
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          If it was an obvious move , i would have benched Clyne or Bertrand instead of Siggy last week.

          1. rickardinho
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Its different when you have a mid-table midfielder playing at Everton vs Clyne at home against Leicester though, compared to an Arsenal striker playing at Swansea...

      2. ALegendJ
        • 11 Years

        Chambers

      3. Holmes

        Chambers. Dont think they will keep clean sheets

      1. ALegendJ
        • 11 Years

        Play Welbeck for Shneiderlin and Ivanovic for Duff imo

        1. rickardinho
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          lol, only a madman would bench ivanovic and welbeck for those two 😛

          1. ALegendJ
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            he seems like he has method to his madness, let us hear it TheBoose13

            1. theBoose
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              a madman indeed.. swansea's home record is fairly decent against an under par arsenal team right now. i can see swansea scoring, so that's my reasoning for benching chambers and welbeck is in poor form with sanchez hogging the limelight.

              ivanovic is a tough one, my reasoning behind that one is because last time you guys told me to start him he got me a red card, up against a liverpool team in poor form but in need of a bounce back and have a hunch that they'll put up a fight against a leaky chelsea defence..

              resonable enough, or should i start taking me meds again..? 😛

              1. rickardinho
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Chelsea usually tighten up in this type of game.. the lone exception being Everton 6-3 earlier in the season (when ivanovic scored and assisted i think)

                Welbeck's pace should be handy against Swansea away from home...

                1. theBoose
                  • 13 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  true true.. i guess the main question is will the percentage of ivanovic's attacking returns be more than duff's chances of clean sheet returns..?

                  swansea's defence are no slouches either..it is at the liberty with the swans keeping 3 clean sheets out of 5 there.

                  both are tempting me, but my gut has the upper edge at the moment 😛

              2. ALegendJ
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                it seem like you've taken the Blue pill instead of the red one 😉 well, you do make sense. Chambers is fine to bench. But my rationale for the opinion I have given you is, Should Ivanovic concede, there's a potential for attacking return, which is very low potential in Duff's case.

                Welbeck is the sole forward for Arsenal, while Schneiderlin is a CM at Southampton, chances are Welbeck will be more involved in scoring than the other guy.

                It is merely and opinion, if your gut says otherwise, go for it. "us guys" offer pure opinion, final call is yours, it is YOUR team after all. Best of luck, and may your arrow be green

                1. theBoose
                  • 13 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  haha, i may have indeed done so.

                  as i said above in reply to rickardinho though..will the percentage of ivanovic's attacking returns be more than duff's chances of clean sheet returns..?

                  your point to play welbeck over schneiderlin has value to it..might actually change that one know.

                  yes yes, i'm just a bitter fantasy player. cheers for the help and may your arrow be full of green also.

      Howard

      Aguero (c), Welbeck, Costa

      Close one between Cahill and Siggy to start.
      Cahill starting the right call?

      1. ALegendJ

        Siggy on for Chambers imo

      2. Holmes

        Sigurdsson IN Chambers OUT

        1. Sz21
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Really?
          Perhaps its cos Im an Arsenal fan unfortunately but I do think the Gunners are going to keep a clean sheet against a Swansea side who are struggling a bit to score.

          Suppose Arteta being out makes them a bit more vulnerable tho.

    12. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      *. Welbeck has scored 3 goals in 3 PL appearances against Swansea 😎
      *. There have been 9 goals scored in the final 10 mins of the last six meetings between Arsenal and Swansea in all competitions. Wallyyyyyy!!!! 😛

      a) Eriksen + Welbeck

      or

      b) Di Maria + Sahko (-8)

      The chance of Eriksen being benched and Di Maria exploding is really making me think harder than I should over this move.

      1. Scoredelario

        I'd probably do it. You definitely want rid of those two at some point, and I find it you don't take the hit and nip it in the bud, transfers pile up and you end up desperate.

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Of course I could be wrong. If eriksen and welbeck score they could even become bandwagons!

          1. Tony Hibbert's Shootin…
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            My other concern is looking at Di Maria & Sakho's GW 12 fixtures that it might just be best to wait 2 weeks. Depending on form I could then WC at GW 13 to get them in just as Soton, Stoke & Spur's fixtures take a turn.

      ADM or Aguero (C).

      It is swapping over in my head a lot.

    16. ALegendJ
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I know this might sound silly. But I am genuinely serious.

      Play one:

      1) Caulker
      2) Moore
      3) King

      I am leaning towards Caulker for attacking returns, but for some reason, it feels like Caulker has more chance of getting a red card than King

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        That's some tough fix. Wait a minute. who is king? 😳

        1. ALegendJ
          • 11 Years

            The other two could concede 4!

        Sahko is the obvious pick, but I have predicted Valencia to be the next big bandwagon.

        Sahko, low risk with high reward. Can't go wrong w/ him really, frees up the funds
