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.

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

        O'Shea Brown Vergini. Pot kettle.

        Luis has to go I think.

        Anyway couldn't do Kola to Zaba without the second or similar move

        1. KEYS TO BENZEMA

  2. KEYS TO BENZEMA

    Apologies for the repost but I'm really stuck.

    Hey guys, my team for this GW:

    Forster
    Azpi Zab Naylor
    Silva Sanchez AdM Barkley
    Austin Bony Giroud

    Who to captain and vc?

    Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

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

      Bony

      1. KEYS TO BENZEMA
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Why is Bony such a popular candidate for captaincy this week?
        Is it the weeks rest and a home game?
        Sorry for the questions, I've just never trusted strikers with the captaincy.

        1. 1314
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          yup..strikers make the best captain when the games are right..kun , austin and early season costa , last season suarez..only player like CR7 or bale could match them..

          1. KEYS TO BENZEMA
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            I can see the logic, I've always been wary of doing that because if they don't score they usually end up with 2 points as opposed to a midfielder who has opportunities to pick up points from a clean sheet and obviously the assist potential if they don't score.

            I think I'm going to put my faith into the FFS community this week and just captain Bony... or Giroud.

            1. 1314
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 12 months ago

              like I say , when the games are right that you can see big haul potential from strikers..be brave and go for them...play safe when they are no real standout games , or you aim to maintain your position..but of course , many factors do affect the choice like rest , forms , rotations , previous records..

              1. KEYS TO BENZEMA
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 12 months ago

                My friend you have convinced me. Bony is my captain.
                .
                Ticks all the boxes:

                Barely played last week
                Good form
                Plethora of quality midfielders supplying him
                Home game

                Silva as VC.

                Thanks for the advice man.

                    WHY 1314? Why make me doubt it all over again? I was content... happy even. Damn you 1314 and your devious mind games.. damn you.

                      lol..no mind games involved dude..I'm telling the truth..just think and give your armband..it's just a game..

                        Apologies mate. Was attempting to be dramatic for comedic effect.

  8. Zep

    Baines > Zaba looks good for GW19...

    Also lets me upgrade Duff...

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Many think Zaba will be rested in GW19 🙁

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

        Hopefully that's this week... then I'll definitely get him in...

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          He'll play for sure this week. He was immense against Palace and was rested the game before... Burnley at home looks the ideal match for him to get another breather though 🙁

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

        I agree with Innsie
        Pelle to play Sagna vs Burnley

        Sanchez

    Only two from scout picks! 😎 😆

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

      Same
      Does this mean we are bound to have a great GW?

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

        Maybe 😆

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      5 here.

      The scout picks have done well this season in all fairness.

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

        Just seems like Panti, Zab, Debuchy, Caz, Silva, Giroud shouldve been last weeks picks!

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          Easy to say in hindsight 😛

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

            • 11 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            Of course, will it translate to this week tho thats the important part.
            Are you going to tell me your capt this week? :mrgreen:

            1. President John F. Keninnsie
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 12 months ago

              I would if I knew who it was! 😆

                • 11 Years
                10 years, 12 months ago

                I'm sure you have it narrowed down to Bony, Haz, Sanchez....possibly Costa

                1. President John F. Keninnsie
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 12 months ago

                  Yeah one of those 4 🙂

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

        Has been 50-50 I think 🙂 Looking very strong for this week though...

      ESPN League

      Start Bojan @Everton or Tadic @Crystal Palace?

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

        Will Bojan start? Fit?

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

          Yea hes fine, if anything Tadic is coming back from a knock
          Bojan is a mid in ESPN if you haven't noticed...

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

            Bojan imo

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

              Nice. Exactly how I have it now. Just looking for confirmation

    Merry Christmas DZ!

    What you reckon on this move

    Boyd Costa -> Kane Sterling

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

      Not for me mate

  12. Umesh95
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Which 3 to bench from O'Shea (HUL), Milner (Wba), Barkley (STK) and Austin (Ars)? Currently have O'Shea playing. And Merry Christmas! 🙂

    1. Umesh95
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Sorry, which 2* Currently have O'Shea and Milner playing* 🙂

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

      I have 3 of those 4 playing hahahaha

      Wish I had Milner right now too!

      1. Umesh95
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Haha well then you'd have the dilema of who to bench too! Barkleys the most obvious to bench, mainly a decision between Milner and Austin imo

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Ummm... Toughie! Austin or O'Shea to play, I think Austin

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

      Damn that sucks...
      Good problem to have tho
      Ummmmm
      Oshea and Austin seem logical....

      1. Umesh95
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Ye it is quite the headache, though I'm not complaining too much 😛 O'Shea seems the obvious one, and thought Milner because it's West Brom and Austin cant seem to score Away, but still very confused :L

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

          Milner playing false #9 would tempt me as well..go for it why not

  13. Arsenal USA FC
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Sakho -> Kane or Yun -> Hutton?

    1. Como Park Rambler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      A, much higher possible upside

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

      Yun to Hutton

  14. Sebbo29
    • 11 Years

    Heatilks
    Baines/Zab/Azpi (Dummett/Moore)
    Silva/Haz/Alexis(vc)/Downer (Boyd)
    Costa/Austin/Bony(C)

    G2G?

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

      I would put the VC on Silva. Rest looks good

      Silva/Cazorla. Is he out?

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        not yet but i think someone at his price range will outscore him with those fixtures til Winter WC

    3. RubeRx

      Not many other options besides ADM

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

        Or a ManCity mid

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

      Gotta agree with Ruberx. ADM with his underlying stats is Very worthy

  18. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    How's this looking? Option of getting Silva in next week for the 2 home games too...

    Fab. Forster
    clyne Baines azpi zab Naylor

      10 years, 12 months ago

      Lot of money in defence, but most from price rises as players bought cheaper. Would lose a fortune selling now so waiting til. wc

        10 years, 12 months ago

        Cheers mate. Binned off my Costa, aguero, welbz forward line a few weeks back as more value appears elsewhere. Hoping not too much rotation though

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

          yea love see some variance once in awhile
          that front line is cheap and effective too

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

      I think Carroll will score on Chelsea this weekend

      Downing will get shut down by Matic

  19. Paanmonkey

    g2g ?

    GUZAN
    ZAB - JAG - CLYNE

        sanchez really a let down last GW..will he rise this GW ?

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

          depends if Wenger figures out that sticking him on the left flank is prob the worst place to put him in

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      I think Bony of them

  20. Sadio

    What's everyone doing with Sanchez?

    1. RubeRx

    Any more opinions on this .

    Boyd > Sterling

    Leaves me with

    Foster

    Zab , Ivan , Chambers

    Sterling , Hazard , Sanchez , Eriksen , Oscar

    Austin , Bony

    Mannone , Carroll , wisdom, caulker

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Wouldn't this create a benching headache ?

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Not a bad move. I'd be worried about your bench defenders if Chambers does not play (he should but Wengers comments means he may not). Probably have Caulker ahead of Wisdom too!

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

      Good problems...

      Something tells me Carroll will sneak one in early..
      Maybe bench Oscar?

  22. La Roja

  24. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Need a nailed on 3.9 def to replace Moore.

    Bruce Saylor or Wasliveski?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Saylor?

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

      Bruce I think should start few games. Where has all cash gone dude, spend few more bucks and relax 😀

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

        Those hull injuries nd poor form is putring me off thoug

    3. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Saylor

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

        Is he first choice now?

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          When he is fit, he is fest choice

          1. La Roja
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            First *

  25. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    How am I looking?? All set?

    Adrian
    Zabaleta, Davies, Naylor
    Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Sigurdsson
    Giroud(c), Kane, Costa

    Boyd, Dummet, Yun 0ft 5.7 itb

    I really want ADM or Falcao I know they will do great this weekend but don't think it is worth selling Sigurdsson or Costa for a hit.

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

      looks good, esp that 5.7itb

    2. Paanmonkey

      g2g mate

    3. HurriKane

      Fortune favours the brave. If your feeling confident go for it

    4. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Looking good

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

      Cheers all. Costa has been annoying the shite outta me

  26. nedfoo
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Are there any 4.2 or less nailed on, fit, defenders out there? Or close alternatives in that price range

    Looking for Moore & Yun replacements

    1. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Hutton?

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

        Got him already 🙁

        (Along with Chambers and Bertrand)

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Saylor

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Pocognoli for WBM at 4.3 and Hutton and Clark both 4.3 for Villa but Vlaar at 4.4 is Villas best. Yoshida if he plays is a good shot at 4.2 for Saints. Wasilewski and Saylor both 3.9 both rotation risks

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

        Cheers for replies, appreciate it

    2. HurriKane

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

      Good choice

  28. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    So, is RVP now likely to get a rest against Newcastle?

    Just what I needed when my team already contains Siggy, Hazard, Sanchez and Yun.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      yes

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Tough to call Falcao has done well when started and now ADM is back. But still lots of injuries in midfield forcing Rooney to play there meaning he still probably will start

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Dont think he need rest, was taken off at 60-70mins last time, that does suggest that he will start? Falcao might get rested this week and start against Spurs?

    4. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      It is in the team news and so it freaked me out a little.Sucks that I brought him in last week with the games against Villa and Newcastle in mind and he may return a whopping 4 points.

  29. La Roja
    • 13 Years

    46K casuals got rid of Hazard

      your LOL make me casual too LOL
      I strongly consider selling him now too

          WHU game wont be easy, right?
          Soton & Spurs away next
          then WC

          while Arsenal have QPR, City midfielders have unreal fixtures next 3 gws

          1. La Roja
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            Hazard is in top form. It is crazy to get rid of him unless he is declared as injured

            1. OPTA FPL
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 12 months ago

              top form and still done nothing away from home...

              1. OPTA FPL
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 12 months ago

                I have Cesc & Costa to 'cover' though

                1. La Roja
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 12 months ago

                  He just had 7 pts, am I missing smthg here?

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      You know what it doesn't seem like an awful decision if it's for the likes of ADM or City defender? His away form means they could out score him over the congested festive period

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        *city midfielder

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Not a bad idea if he gets rested against West Ham 😉

    4. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      agreed, Haz is not the best choice until JAN WC, and neither is Sanchez, but I have other concerns so am keeping them anyway

  30. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Clyne, Austin, Downing..

    Which of these would you start??

    1. 1314
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Austin

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Clyde should be starting what's your full team?

    3. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      you can start only one out of those 3 or 2 out of 3?
