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.

    Kaboul > Ivan? Got 2.7 in the bank. (Would've got baines, but already got jagielka)

    1. Ser Football 42

      i think its a good transfer

    2. Az

      Not this week, save.

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

    i want to punt a manutd player...

    Lukaku Sterling --> RVP + 5.6mid or Rooney + 7.8mid (already have downing)

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

      Rooney was operating in the central mid v City. One of those wait and see situations.

    2. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney and chadli?

    3. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm monitoring the penalty situation too. I have a feeling rooney may be on them now as captain (haven't been any this season). If so he may be worthwhile

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

        i doubt it as last yr rooney started with penalty but miss too many and gave it to RVP by himself...

        falcao on the other hand might steal them...

        1. enrico.palazzo
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          100% in pl last year

          http://www.myfootballfacts.com/Premier_League_Penalty_Statistics.html

          Wait and see though. A captain taking penalties is pretty common

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

            which part does it say cpt take penalty? hmmm

            1. enrico.palazzo
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Nah not that, I just meant from a 'team' perspective. That just says 100% for man Utd last season (and rooney took most when RVP was injured)

              It's just a hunch. Happy to be wrong, but think it may be possible

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

      yes thats the risk with rooney... thts y i want RVP to boost my differential cpt potential nxt couple fixture...

      any recommend 5.6mid?

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

        Why not AdM? He's the center of Man Utd me think

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

          i think hes been overperforming... not going to sustain... want to stick with front gun...

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

    Pelle or Kun armband:

    - in form player on an in form team home vs Leicester
    vs.
    - good form player on a struggling, but ultimately classier team vs QPR.

    First one two five wins!

    1. Orion
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Kun

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sergio for me

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Kun, defo.

    4. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Kun

    5. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Would not call man city "classier" than saints this season?! Have you seen how both teams have been playing?

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

        Ok, may be skewed by past seasons achievements. But even if they are struggling, one would assume that they have potential. But Saints are impressive, no doubt about that 🙂

    6. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd pick Aguero because he's Aguero (even then no silva makes me doubt giving him the armband)

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

        Kun 5 - Pelle 0

        Thanks guys !

        1. Rats Ass
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Last week's captain poll n here had Costa a massive favourite. Those who went their own way were happier afterwards.

    7. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Which player would make you feel shittier if you didn't end up captaining and he goes on get a haul? 🙂

      1. enrico.palazzo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly the way I think about it

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

        that question can only be answered in hindsight ....

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

          use some imagination!

    8. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Kun. I think having pelle is enough

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

      Pelle

    10. Kuda
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Same situation. Currently at Pelle atm, just because he has home match

  4. Twisted Saltergater
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Repost.

    Morning all, would really appreciate your help with this decision.

    Fabregas to:

    A. Tadic
    B. Di Maria

    I also have Pelle and Hazard in my team. In a couple of weeks, I'm looking to bring in Bony for Pelle if his form continues and keep Tadic due to his set piece and penalty duties. Going Di Maria means another potential captain option, but tricky to get Costa back in (2 FTs). Bit concerned by Tadic' lack of goal threat but with LEI, avl up next, I quite fancy the double up.

    1. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Di maria

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Nice.

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

      I have both and I want to keep it that way. ADM if you musth chose, but there is the question of price as well. If you get Tadic, what will you use the remaining funds for?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Pelle to Costa, but would prefer Bony tbh for CPL, QPR. So am leaning towards Di Maria.

        Thanks.

    3. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Don't sell cesc

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Too pricey for someone I wouldnt captain. I have Hazard and everyone in my ML has Fabregas. I like to make moves before others.

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

      B

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers Shifty. It's only his 5,2,2 returns that are putting me off but tough fixtures all the same. I can't see Palace offering much resistance. Could be goals in this game for both teams actually.

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

      Would keep Fab instead of Hazard

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Interesting, I'd prefer Oscar to Fabregas, I think. Can I ask why? Would you not expect Hazard to score more goals?

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

          Expecting something is different, can he score many goals? Except scoring from penalties, he haven't done much tbh... Nor Chelsea is filled with divers, so 1 goal in 3 weeks, dont think thats worth that much investment.

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            1 goal in 3 is preferable to 2 assists in 3 though? I'm just not understanding the Fabregas > Hazard argument.

            1. Billy Gilmore
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Hazard is hardly shooting this season. Meanwhile, Cesc is assisting every other goal Chelsea score. Put it this way, Hazard has 1 goal from open play in his last 20 PL matches

              1. La Roja
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Yet, they almost have same points on fpl

              2. Twisted Saltergater
                • 16 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                And how many goals does Fabregas have?? And why does open play count in FPL?

                Given their prices (and I have both), I genuinely can't see your point. If anything, Fabregas' assists will drop as Mourinho makes Chelsea tighter at the back and uses Hazard on the counter attack. We've already seen Costa's stats drop.

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

                Actually should have said this ^
                Sorry for poor english *facepalm*

    Would I be absolutely crazy to captain sakho ahead of adm and aguerro this week? (Don't have Pelle)

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No, he's a good choice.

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

      not crazy but Aguero is a better option imo

    3. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A

    4. Honeybadger
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't (C) a guy who just came back from an injury, however long it was...

    5. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      yes imo

  6. mookie
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Why there ain’t no love for Chadli around here?

    1. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez is better :p

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

      He play for Spurs 😐

    3. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I don't see why not either. He's been great value for me

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

      Is it because Spurs are shite?
      they are ahead of United and had tougher fixtures + he is outscoring Di Maria for 3.5m less and you couldn’t say that he was luckier than ADM

    5. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      no idea wish I had him

    6. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      It is Downing o'clock

    7. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Been on the Chadillac for weeks now.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        this

  7. SALVA
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Green (McCarthy)
    Chambers / Baines / Clyne (Naylor, Moore)
    Siggy / ADM / Hazard / Fab (Boyd)
    Aguero / Pelle / Welbeck

    I'm saving transfer this week and planning to do this on international break for -8, what do you guy think?

    Welbz, Haz, Fab, Clyne -> Sanchez, Costa, Downing, Saylor/Yun

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

      Seems quite sideways. Gain Sanchez- lose Hazard etc

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

        Yeah maybe you right.. all this Sanchez hype got me thinking maybe Costa + Sanchez could outscore fab,haz and welbz..

  8. That Fantasy Guy

    When is arsenal and man city press conference?

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

      Arsenal's PC should start in 30mins. Man City's in around 4hrs

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

  9. Kerrazy
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    too late in getting Sanchez? before he scores another brace. was brilliant against Anderlecht. dont see it as being too late. however can't afford him without getting one of ayoze/kane.

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It's never too late

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

      No, I don't think so - if he turns out to be this seasons Yaya (for a higher entry fee though) , you'll want him before his value is £11+. I he proves to be a flash in the pan, or at least not worth the high price - easy to downgrade to any other high hitting midfielder. Arsenals trickier fixtures ahead doesn't make it a no-brainer though - but I've brought him in for AdM this week nevertheless (so no I feel scared not owning AdM against CPL 😀 ).

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        He's only 0.2m above his original price.

    3. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm getting him for a hit. Not missing out again

  10. Honeybadger
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Kolo was great against RM, Lovren has been awful for a while now. BR will still start with Lovren over Kolo...

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      The problem with Kolo is he's great 90% of the time, then makes an absolute howler. Lovren's just meh most of the time.

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Lovren really struggling 🙁

  11. adp1113
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Non-Aguero owners who are you captaining?

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

      Aguero owner, still (C) ADM or maybe even Tadic before Kun!

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Got Aguero

      Captaining ADM

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

    Any chance QPR smell blood and go on the attack against City thinking it's their moment to shine? 😀

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      They will try to win the game

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

        Hope they do that, City have the players to hurt them in an open game. But City could get flustered. Hmm.

      2. Christina.

        Morning squire

        1. Get up ya bum

          Evening Sire *bows

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      You know, I think they just might. After the midweek performance I thought there's no chance I'm captaining Aguero but I'm coming around to the idea. Plus Pellegrino has to try something different... maybe goes back to the 451 with Lampard starting.

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

        he has to play 4-5-1. It's QPR but they have to dominate midfield. They're fecked if they play Dzeko with Aguero.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, think Yaya may have been found out. Teams are running with the ball from the positions he vacates and doesn't get back quick enough.

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No, they will be pragmatic. They will park some sort of improvised bus and then hope to score a goal of a set piece.

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Some sort of improvised bus 😀 Is that like a van pulling a caravan?

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Something like that. You can only do so much with their defence 😀

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

          hahahha

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Do you mean metaphorical? 😀

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I like the van analogy

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            😀

          2. Twisted Saltergater
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Van Busten 😉

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

        😆 I fear this might be the case too. Redknapp isn't so naive.

        They did go on the attack against Pool and were punished with breakaway goals. Who's your C on Ryan?

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Aguero, obviously 😀

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

            Everytime i think of something that cools me off Aguero, I think of his stats, QPR's stats and City's attacking stats.

            Aguero + City's attacking stats are leaps and bounds ahead of any other team at the moment - results aside.

    4. Rats Ass
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      City are playing QPR at just the wrong time. City will struggle imo.

  13. Get up ya bum
    • 16 Years

    Any word on Rafael and/or Mcgregor chaps? For my draft teams

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

    Sterling & Walcott --> Sanchez & Kane

    I know it's punty, but is it downright madness?

    1. Get up ya bum

      I really wanted to put Kane in instead of Sakho. Even put him in and just looked at the screen for a few seconds, then I noticed my bench costs 12.1. Sakho is in now 🙂
      But no I wouldn't do that

      Why would you bring in Walcott before he's fit only to sell him when he's approaching full fitness?

      Mental transfers.

      Are you sure you didn't get your arrows mixed up? Having Walcott when he's playing 10 mins per game?

      Wouldn't bother with him mate, too many nailed on non injured starters scoring points right now.
      Sell ASAP if you own.

    Was on Aguero (C), switched to ADM, seriously thinking of Tadic (C) after reading this:

    http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/southampton/news/koeman-tadic-must-be-more-selfish_186921.html

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

      that should be a worry for Pelle owners

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

      Makes me feel bad about my Tadic > Downing switch 🙁

      Thought it enabled Sterling > Sanchez

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

      Luckily I own Tadic. Have the cash for him to ADM though which is a big tempter.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Oooh tempting. Deciding over Tadic / ADM myself

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

          It'd be -4 so definitely not doing it yet

  17. HVT

    Welbz > Sahko -4 lads?

      The Mexican chap? 😉

      I'd do it

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

        Still going to captain him?

      2. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yea, he's one of the Sanchezs from Cabo San Lucas, but I've since found out he doesn't take penos for the national side.
        I'm firmly on Aguero nos after thinking about it and undecided on the hit I'd take it if I broke even just to be rid of Welbz tbh.
        Final thoughts mate?

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

          Hmm, if you're not putting the armband on him, it muddies the water a little. I'd still do it myself, but mainly because I don't rate welbeck

    2. coran2123
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A Lexus.. 🙂

      I'd wait another week, even if Sakho scores again that'll not make that much of a difference to your total

    3. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

      ADM at -85 to drop do we think this will happen before this gw? I'm .1 away for the switch

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

      Not for -4, do it next week.

    Sterling & Hazard > Chadli & Sanchez ?

    1. HVT

      For free? Do you own fab?

      1. Kerrazy

        for free and i dont own other chelsea player besides Hazard. 🙁

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

          Tough just edging it,
          Alexis form is hard to ignore, but Hazard could deliver on any given week especially V pool,
          I'd say do it with a disclaimer!

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez more important than Hazard

      Yes

    1. coran2123
      • 12 Years

      Aguero is probably the only City player worth having atm.. Downing or Chadli to get some cash itb?

      1. Squires FC

      I thought nasri for a while but it seems he's not bailed anymore

      1. Twisted Saltergater

        First Oscar, now Nasri! 😀

        Nasri is on bail?

  21. Mr. Jenkins
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    lloris

    Baines, Fonte, Ivanovic

    Sterling, Hazard, Tadic, ADM

    Aguero, Costa, Rooney

    I am playing another FPL game, and have three transfers this GW.

    Plans for this GW is getting rid of lloris, and heaton(my reserve) have a few quite good fixtures coming up.

    I also want to chase the Sanchez points, however he is a forward on this game and that makes it hard because i see both costa and aguero as essentials.

    Last i think i am goingto move Sterling to Yaya, i've held sterling since the start now and he's just not paying off.

  22. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is it too early for differential captain choices?

    Currently ranked 21st in Ultimate FPL and trying to decide between Aguero, Rooney and Di Maria for captain.. Everyone above me seems to have Aguero and Di Maria but only 1 or 2 Rooney.. Good chance to captain Rooney and hopefully gain some ground?

    Always have the Sunday players if things go wrong too but a bit worried about Aguero going crazy.

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

      Nice rank. I am going for ADM he racks up all kinds of extra points for chances created etc. Good chance of a 15+ haul against a pretty dire outfit in Palace

    2. Mr. Jenkins
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      My plan is to captain Rooney, but i can still go for Downing or Sakho. But i play with too much heart so it will end on Rooney

  23. Rafiki
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    ADM or Kun (C)?

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

      Adm outta them
      Own both but mind says go pelle
      .so pelle (c)

    2. Pompel
      • 11 Years

      I'm on Kun - but that's because I don't have AdM 😀

  26. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking of saving. DDG has a good fixture this time around. Only downside is keeping Sterling and risking not having one of ADM or Sanchez. Thoughts?

    De Gea, Gilks
    Baines, Bertrand, Chambers, Hutton, Wisdom
    Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Marney
    Costa, Aguero, Pelle

    0.2 ITB. 1 FT

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

      Yep your midfield seems a weak with Siggys fixtures and Sterling form could you get Krul and get ADM for Sterling?

  27. Seamy
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Due to some earlier confusion, I will amend my post.

    Sterling & Welbeck --> Sanchez & Kane

    I know it's punty, but is it downright madness?

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

      not at all, Kane should start

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

      Seems good I feel...
      Kane will defo start this week I reckon....I would defo do it if it gets me sanchez

      This is a bit different to mentioning Walcott in the transfer out :p
      Good transfers imo, go for it!

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Very punty - could backfire spectacularly, could be genius.

      Looks good

    5. Amateur Pundit Zan

      Kane is a big risk despite these assertions he will start. Do you have good bench cover?

      1. Seamy
        • 14 Years

        Costa, Aguero

  28. NABIL - FPL otai

    Anyone know if Eric Dier has been dropped for good? Waiting to decide if I use my 1FT on shipping him or Siggy out...

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

      He played Europa last night so could be a second-team player yes

  30. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Still on this!

    Current squad...

    DDG Gilks
    Clyne Chambers Wisdom Colo Chester
    Sanchez Fabregas AdM Downing Marney
    Aguero Costa Sakho

    But TAKEN 8 POINT HIT TO GET THIS

    if I PLAY MY WILDCARD I can GET MY 8 POINTS BACK and integrate BAINES....

    Foster Myhill
    Baines Chambers Wisdom Dummett Yun
    Sanchez Fabregas AdM Downing Boyd
    Aguero Costa* Sakho

    *i could also possibly take Pelle instead of Costa for a week and then switch back

    WORTH MY WC?

    Thanks 🙂
