Not so merry, certainly not so high – my rank took a tumble and my co-host rival has taken advantage: in an extraordinary Gameweek, Granville is now breathing down my neck with just two points between us. It’s a nightmare before Christmas.

Not surprisingly, much of this festive ScoutCast is given up to Granville’s ascent, his six million dollar man – Charlie Austin – and the failings of my faith in Diego Costa.

Around all that, we preview the Boxing Day schedule, cast an eye over the Scout leagues and assess the merits of the current transfers bandwagons. I even have time to throw in another Jose Mourinho conspiracy theory. Hey, let me have my fun – I needed cheering up.

Merry Christmas to all!

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

    Sunderland has kept only 2 CS at home this season.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      thanks for the info

      1. Pinky and Brain
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Just pointing out that their defence is overrated.

        1. Podge
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          Second only to Chelsea for fewest big chances conceded and look who they've played at home the top 6-7 in the league.

        2. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          consider who they've played at home

          MNU, TOT, ARS, SWA, CHE, EVE, MCI, WHM, STO

          8 out of 9 are in the top half of the table. Only Pool and Saints left in the top half to play at home

          1. Pinky and Brain
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            Fair enough, your point are more convincing than my quick look on FPL site. Pantilimon only with his saves and bonus pontential is a real deal.

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Good time to start picking up a few more then. Due 😉

    3. Wirtzle Gummidge

      Almost sounds like foresight.

      Last minute game winning goal does wonders to a team
      They will win on Fri

  2. Walsh
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Should upgrading Boyd and strengthening my front 8 be a priority or upgrading Yun to a playing 3rd defender? Not sure which to do with my second free transfer.

    1. Timtastic03
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Who are your other 4 defenders?

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Terry Baines Wasilewski and Hutton.

        1. Timtastic03
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          Think I'd leave the Yun move to next week and upgrade Boyd - good chance you'll need the 8th player this week. Unless you're lining up a Zaba-esque player as a replacement for Yun

          1. Walsh
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            Yeah I mean I could get any defender in for Yun if I want. Could get Zaba but not seeing much of a point to do that move when it is likely Zab will get a rest in either the BUR or SUN fixture when I will need him! Tricky one.

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Yun > Vergini

      Keep Boyd

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Since Yun is out for a while i'd give him the old boot

    4. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Isn't Yun out for a while? If so, get a permanent replacement particularly with rotation likely in the next 2 GW's

    5. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Yun, obvs.

    6. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      I would sort out Yun if I was you mate

    7. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Hm. Pretty unanimous and not what I was wanting to hear as I want to take a punt on a midfielder in for Boyd! Cheers all....will start to look at defensive replacements more seriously now.

  3. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Still in shock at the 2 people in my ML who sold Austin 2 GWs ago. When I asked them why, I got, well he was banned, what use was he to me? The mind of the casual

      Are you a dullard now?

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Well I picked Mangala over Kolarov last week and am saving the FT this time

        I guess I've gone from being mad, to being a dullard

    2. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      alot traded him out - but alot of them bought him back in. casuals forget these things haha

    Shall I just go Yaya captain or have Hazard captain and Yaya VC?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      I'd rather captain Yaya.

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Thanks, I'm starting to think that too!

    2. Dr Dream

      Yaya.

    Happy Christmas everyone 😀

    Celebrate it or not, it's the happiest time of the year. Smashing year on FFS, time is flying!

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years

      Love all the games coming thick and fast and being off work.

      Can't beat it 🙂

    2. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Same to you Berb.

  7. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Who should I captain?

    A) Costa
    B) Kane

  8. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Is owning Zaba and Baines too expensive?

    Thinking of Clyne -> Zaba

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      No

  9. Oz lotto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    If I pull the trigger on Lukaku --> Giroud I have

    Guzan
    Terry Berty Naylor
    Fab Sanchez Oscar Sig
    Austin Bony Giroud

    Elliot Downing Wisdom Dummett

    3.3 ITB!

    Look ok or is there something better I could do?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Good transfer and nice looking team, mate. I would, however, rather save it and captain Bony. Lukaku has been pants lately but does have a nice fixture and think saving may be more prudent.

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        thanks mate. I'm just worried stoke will go there and park the bus - everton are dross at the moment so I don't know what to do. Having said that... they will turn it around eventually and a home day is the place to do that!

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          They are by far and away the most unpredictable side in the league this year, for me. Who knows...really...but just can't help but think saving is a better choice. If you didn't have Bony I would have advised to go for that switch though and captain Giroud.

          1. Oz lotto
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            I would captain Giroud if I got him... although I think I'll go for Bony or even Austin as a massive punt instead

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Lukaku is so unpredictable he scores when you least expect him to.
      Giroud is not a bad shout either
      Both options are justifiable IMO

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        thanks ruber. I think I'll save actually - last chance and I'll just pray Giroud doesn't get a brace or better

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Think Bony will get rotated to give Gomis pitch time again? When get rid?

  10. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Had a little fiddle with what I may WC to in Jan.

    Aguero - Austin - Kane/Sakho really makes the rest of your team so solid. Hmmm too early to think about it I guess

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      yeah Aguero, Austin plus 1 is where I'm at atm, plus a Chelsea and City defender and Hazard

    2. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      puts alot of pressure on picking right for your other spots though because of how common that combo will be

    3. Just A Wooden Spoon
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Lacking Sturridge, back to the drawing board.

  11. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Looking for a few opinions. Already done Bego > Hart with my FT. Any hit to strengthen the bench/midfield required you reckon?

    Hart
    Baines Azpi Clyne Naylor
    Hazard Siggy Yaya
    Costa Bony Benteke

    Bench: McCarthy, Downing, Boyd, Moore.

    0.3 itb. Merry Xmas all 🙂

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      No hit.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        cheers Walsh.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      I'd play Downing over Naylor mate

      Happy Christmas 😀

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Hmm. That has crossed my mind but I think the Naylor/Tekkers combo fills me with more confidence than Azpi vs Downing.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Outside Moore, strong team so no real point.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        thanks TM

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Save to get Bony out, max play 2-3 matches before ofte acon

  12. DrunkPhilosophy
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Foster
    Baines Clichy Zab
    Siggy Sanchez Downing Nasri
    Costa Falcao(vc) Bony(c)

    0 FT, 0.1 itb

    Good to go? anything worth a hit?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      No hit.

    2. Federico
      • 13 Years

        10 years, 12 months ago

        Completely forgot
        Krul Hutton Duff Marney
        Not the best bench you will see around lol

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          No hit required

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Save to get Bony out

  13. Federico
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Play Hamer (TOT) or Guzan (swa)?

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Guzan

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Guzan

    3. Federico
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Cheers guys.

      Getting Hamer as my boring transfer of the week.
      Still got Moore rotting on my bench though.

    4. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Guzan all day

    5. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Guzan.

      Probably won't keep a CS but wracks up the save points

  14. For Fuchs Sake
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Siggy to Sterling after this GW me thinks

    1. Federico
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Well timed transfer.

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        yeah, I don't get the Siggy out before Villa trend? Could do well.

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          This... siggy out before villa, leaky liverpool and QPR. I really hope bony plays that last game !

        2. Federico
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          Yeah, it's strange.
          I'm keeping and playing.

          Good luck!

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Sterling will dissapoint you AGAIN...

  15. CTID_
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Regret getting rooney in a few weeks back he is playing is basically playing a CM role now

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Same for RVP here. Getting subbed off on 60 mins when it was 1-1 is more than a little concerning.

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        He was tired mate

  16. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    hey lads, any thoughts/help much appreciated!!!

    Guzan
    Baines, Clyne, Naylor
    Siggy, Cesc, Hazard, Yaya
    Costa (C), Austin, Bony

    Elliot, Hutton, Boyd, Wisdom (1ft & 0.6 itb)

    i'm leaning towards saving the ft... would like one of Sanchez or Sterling but think i'm gtg?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      I think all looks good, save Ft

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        cheers 😉

        ya I think 2ft's may come in handy next gameweek

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      I would cap Bony

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        I've been looking @ it all day... that was the main reason I wanted Sanchez, he's an obvious capt choice this week.

        cheers for input 🙂

        1. RubeRx
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          Both options are justifiable, but after what Austin did coming off two weeks rest I'm starting to realize how essential recovery is for these players.

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Who do you get for Bony?

    Hi guys ... any renewed faith in Baines this week

    1. DrunkPhilosophy
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      He is DUE.

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Sadly no. Just can't see past the next three fixtures and not thinking it's worthwhile to get rid. Begrudgingly will keep for the time being.

      1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        yeah thats where i am at too

    3. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      He's in all the scout picks, so it looks like it.

    4. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Nope

    5. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Last week this, if he blanks i'm doing Baines and Chambers to Terry and Azpi.

      1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        that actually looks good anyway

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          Yeah it is tempting

              Trouble is their rotation, only Kompany would be of interest

    Downing to Sterling? Surely Sterling is due a run of goals?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      No I wouldn't. Raheem more likely to miss 1/3 games over Christmas and besides Bournemouth game his form isn't good and not close to Downing.

      1. DaddyPig
        • 11 Years

        Thanks mate. Well put! I'll shop around.

      Depends on team, rather Pants over any SUN def.
      Probably B or C from those.

  25. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Just to pick up on my RVP comment above and how concerning it was that he got subbed off on 60 mins with the scores at 1-1.

    SAF loved RVP and was quick to tell the world and his wife all about his love. Since LVG has been manager I have seen many comments about some similar kind of love between LVG and RVP, but actually I've never heard a word from LVG about him...have we just imagineered it on the basis that they are both Dutch or have I missed something ?...Is he actually in his long term plans ?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      When RVP has been fully fit, he has played 100% of the time.

      That tells you everything you need to know.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        But to be fair Falcao hasn't been fit for the vast majority of that time, so he would have done. Why did he sub him off on 60 mins last week at 1-1...

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          To keep him fresh for the two upcoming games. And to get Falcao up to speed.

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            mmmm...yeah...plausible...in fact probabaly.

    2. A.T

      Who is the player you are most worried about not owning this gw?

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        RVP/ADM and Giroud I am most worried about

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Giroud.

      3. A.T

        Sorry reply fail there Wakey.

    3. Chambo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      He subbed RVP off in the world cup against Mexico when they needed to score, I thought it was weird but it worked in the end

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Yeah he did..LVG strikes me as a bit of a crackpot at times anyway...

    4. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Is long term this season?
      Cause I fon't think LvG is a long term deal for Utd, he rarely pro-longs his contracts. Actually he often quit ahead of schedule.

      But yes i think there is chemistry between them and Utd have not much else, the colombian necktie is too old already with a injury list longer than santas beard and wont stay longer then necessary

    Season high of top 1600 rank, but expecting a low score this week, any suggestions?

    Foster
    Ivanovic, Azpil, Clichy
    Sanchez, Silva, Downing,Hazard
    Rooney, Benteke, Austin

    (*Krul, Hutton, Marney, Wisdom)

    Obvious transfer?

    A) Krul > Panti
    B) Haz > Fabs
    C) Rooney > Giroud
    D) Save TF

  28. Norco
    • 11 Years

    Thinking of ditching Costa for Giroud this week. I have Sanchez also but not entirely confident.

    Costa > Giroud © for free?

    Fabianski
    Baines Clichy Hutton (Cresswell Moore)
    Sanchez Fabregas Yaya Siggy (Boyd)
    GIROUD Bony Sakho

  29. golly28

    Anyone considering dropping Rooney because of his withdrawn position?

    1. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      yes, thing is though, he usually still pops up with points

      with falcao and ADM back, Rooney could play in the hole?

      1. golly28
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        That's my worry especially with potential 'easy' run of games

      2. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        this. I mentioned it last week and it was brought to my attention than even when he plays deep he does something. the question is whether you can handle the anxiety of waiting for him to get his chance in front of goal

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Don't seem him as a good option long term, but would keep for now until everyone else fully fit

    3. Gascoigne8
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Have you seen his stats though? Better than most, even though he's withdrawn.

    Guzan (Elliot)
    Azpilicueta - Baines - Clichy (N. Taylor, Yun)

      • Has Moderation Rights

      You have 2 subs so probably save.

    3. Efan Ekoku Pops
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Same as me, but I've got Zabaleta/Panti instead of Guzan/Clichy. Nothing urgent, save FT.
