With Granville sulking on sabbatical, it was left to myself and Jonty and his flourishing facial hair to hold the fort, ably supported by this week’s guest, Luke aka D1sable.

Racking up one of the longest episodes for months, the three of us talk slippers, banish at least seven teams to the Championship and mention Jeffrey Schlupp as much as humanly possible. Despite missing Granville’s secret sauce, we also do our best to serve up the regulars, whilst addressing the quizzing and probing from the Fantasy Football Scout community – thats you.

Once again, if you escaped the horror of Monday’s live Hangout you can view the full movie below. Alternatively, you can enjoy our semi-slick, edited audio version via this link or the first player.

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

    2 FTs

    Caz -> Mane
    Foster -> Migs

    Look OK? No money itb.

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Forster over Migs? but move looks good

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I have Clyne and Bertrand so bit of an overkill getting Forster as well. Could go Ospina, but no game in 33 and my other GK is Hamer :/

        1. Project Rascal
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Hamer -----> Myhill

          Caz ------> Mane

          Oh look...£2mil

          1. Chris_White
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            That could work, but I already have Dawson so might not be a bad decision getting rid of Foster. Though Myhill would save me some funds. Cheers.

              • 11 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              Migs would last u season long

              1. Chris_White
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 8 months ago

                True. Cheers for input.

        2. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Migs is fine! Fabianski has great fixtures

          1. Hickey
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            I went Foster > Fabi for this reason though there is a risk with them potentially having nothing to play for, Monks done a great job so hopefully he will keep them focused till the end.

  2. gers23
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    My rival has been clawing me back the last few weeks.Does it make sense to do Austin to Giroud to block him or should i just keep him

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Keep. DGW coming up, and Everton are terrible.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Keep. He'll do Giroud to Austin next week

    3. tokara
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      same here, no giroud but everyone else has him

      🙁

      1. gers23
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks all

    4. Hickey
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      My advice play your own game, dont make the mistake I made. I made it to the top of a money mini league a few months back then started to pay more attention to what my rivals were doing than my own team. Slipped to 4th now just about still in the mix.

    5. Jonny Bananas
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      if you can do austin to giroud and back next week (if you want to that is) then do it....giroud could get a haul this week, he catches you, and then copies you next week.

  3. Jafalad
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    What's the score in the crick? Auzzies probably walking it in 20 overs. 🙁

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      79. Easy-peasy victory for Aussies.

      1. Jafalad
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Bugger.

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Pakistan player just dropped an easy catch..the match is fixed..Australia to win..

      1. Jafalad
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Entirely predictable. No surprises there.

  4. gers23
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Double Saints defence or double Chelsea?

    Siggy or Mane

    Costa or Ivan

    🙂 lol thanks in advance

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Double Chelsea
      Mane
      Costa & Ivan

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        so no Haz then? 😀

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Costa will get more points than Hazard I think

          1. Caine & Co.
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            no chance

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      Mane

    Moon > Sun for -4?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Nah... Moon is better

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Moon is nought but a pale reflection of the sun. Get your heavy hitter in 😉

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Eh? Really? I have seen both Moon and Sun together 😯

    2. mookie
      • 12 Years

      nah, heard there will be a Solar Eclipse today

      1. IfYouTinkerYou'llHaveA…
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Is there? I'm completly in the dark on that one

    Thoughts?

  7. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    I could just look out of the window see a spectacular solar eclipse.

    But I can't be bothered so I'll just open another window on my PC and watch a livestream instead.

  8. Weasel Boy

    Defensively my team is a mess.

    Any news on Wollscheid?

    1. mookie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      check hot topics, presser will be later today

  9. gers23
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    My defence this week is currently

    Bertrand Terry Bellerin

    Is it worth a transfer to do Pva to Ivan and bench Bellerin?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Bellerin to Ivan and stick Van Aan to bench?

      1. gers23
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Interesting thanks

    What a spell Wahab Riaz.

  11. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Can someone tell me why Andros Townsend is in the England Squad? #solareclipse

    1. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Good at taking penalties

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He takes class penalties 😉

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Probably because he is in that very small band of players that plays better in an England shirt than a club one...

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        he's nowhere near the first team, waste of a spot, bring a youngster in

        1. Tony Yeboah
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          hes 23....he is a youngster

      2. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I can't fathom it out. I can't stand him as a player.

        1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Mark Noble once again omitted I see.

      3. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I think his inclusion says less about him and more about the state of the England side. Our only bright spots are up top in Kane and Sturridge...

  12. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Jafa..you should be watching. Wahab killing Aus. Watto doesnt know how to play. Pak could have had Aus at 84-4 and game on.

    Cricket at its best right now. Super aggression from Pak. Dropped a sitter after all the pressure.

    94-3 atm.

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He's blowing kissed to Watto every ball. Clapping in his face. Watto doesnt know what to do. Solid aggression.

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Misbah is simply wasting his overs. Watson and Smith will surely survive somehow...

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Not wasting. Wahab had watto. You don't drop those.

          1. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            But it isnt really working, bringing some variation might help.

            1. The Machine
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              Isn't working? They just dropped a sitter he's the only one who was going to trouble them

              1. Holmes
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 8 months ago

                Ok...

            2. Amateur Pundit Zan
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              From a casual glance it looks like you are having an argument with yourself

              1. Holmes
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 8 months ago

                Hmmm...

                1. Demí
                  • 14 Years
                  10 years, 8 months ago

                  The gravs..

        2. The Machine
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          What would he save him for? All other bowlers look average. No irfan ajmal or junaid

  13. wolves_simmo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking of loading up on Chelsea defense, should i do;

    A) Kompany -> Terry
    B) Pants -> Courtois

    Already got Ivan!

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. tokara
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      A

      i suspect Cech will play one last game for the Blues since he is leaving for sure

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

    How does Sam Vokes compare as an alternative Ings guys? I'm looking at bringing him in for my draft h2h league.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Good pick but will take some time to settle. Their partnership is killer...

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers mate.

    I thought I wasnt going to see the eclipse because it was cloudy but then the clouds moved a bit & I saw the eclipse.

    1. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Talk about exciting

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        wow that man would make a funeral look like fun

    2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      😆

    3. Valar(Keith)

      😆

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Still Undecided on Mane or Siggurdson. Head says Mane, heart says Siggy.

    1. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Mane is quite easily the better option. Proven goalscorer.

      Siggy is also a good option imo, and he is on all set pieces and possibly penalties.

      I'll probably have both next week, providing Sanchez doesn't do any large amounts of damage this week

      1. tokara
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        who r u removing for siggy and mane

        1. Nickofoz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Already have mane, getting rid of sanchez for siggy

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      What does the fox say?

    3. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      mane

  16. JaydenLFC87
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Pick 3 to play out of the below -

    Bertrand
    Ivan
    Fonte
    PVA
    Bellerin

    1. johnbarnes
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Ivan Bertie Bellerin

    2. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      pva bellerin bertrand

      1. JaydenLFC87
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        No Ivan?

        1. Caine & Co.
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          ivan fonte bertrand

    1. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      hahaha

  17. johnbarnes
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    So I'm currently rolling out:
    Myhill
    JT-Clyne-Bellerin (PVA, Wisdom)
    Downing-Haz-Alexis-Eriksen-Silva
    Kane(c)-Kun (Sakho)

    I'm tempted to do Alexis>Boyd (or s/one in that price range), to have money to get Costa in later for the DGW, and play Sakho this week. What do you guys reckon? Is that stupid to dump Alexis like that?

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      gk isn't good

    2. The Banter Panther
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Please do alexis to boyd, Burnley will be fighting for these last few weeks and boyd is your man, then get sturridge or costa

  18. Demel
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Do Liverpool have a double?

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      their game v hull will be played at a later stage so yes.

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        sorry if they beat blackburn in the cup replay...

      2. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Thats not certain yet. If blackburn beat them, theres no reason to cancel thehull game

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Sorry. You beat me to it

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Potentially but still need to get past blackburn

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        😉

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      If they win FA Cup replay

  19. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Cuadrado rising kills off any doubt there is as to the existence of illuminati.

    1. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      rising?

    2. coran2123

      Look again 😯

  20. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Two free transfers. 0.1 itb. Would you rather do.

    A) Cazorla and Puncheon(5th mid) to Silva and Cork
    B) Cazorla and Panti to Mane and Forster
    C) Puncheon to Cork and save the other one
    D) Cazorla to Mane and save the other one

    1. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      D

    2. tokara
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      B for the long term

  21. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Luxury transfer alert(again 🙂 )

    Myhill
    Terry Fonte Toby
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Silva
    Kun Kane Austin
    Foster Moses Bellerin Dawson
    0.9 in the bank
    2 FTs

    Next week i'll be downgrading Sanchez to clear funds for Costa(for GW 32 onwards) so dont wanna downgrade any mid this week/upgrade any forward this week so i'm down to upgrading my bench basically(happy with my starting 11 anyway)

    A) Foster to Mignolet.. leaves me with no keeper GW 33 if Foster is back fit
    B) Bellerin to Schlupp/Naughton
    C) Moses to Mahrez(dont want phillips since i wont play him next week and he has a blank after)
    D) Anything else?

  22. Mr. Blonde
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else captaining Giroud? Feel I owe him some trust after he saved me last week

    1. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      If I had him I'd captain him.

      Yes with 49% selecting Kane and 39% Costa i like the idea of Giroud as captain, though Silva's recent form is worth checking out.

    Ok, so what to do with the FT?

    Pantillimon
    Terry // Clyne // Rose
    Hazard // Silva // Eriksen // Cazorla // Mane
    Aguero // Kane

    Bench: Krul // Moreno // Ayoze // McShane

    a) Save
    b) Bring in Giroud with a -4
    c) Cazorla > Siggy / Downing (allows Ayoze > Benteke next week)
    d) Pants > Forster / Fabianski
    e) Moreno > Ivanovic (and bench Cazorla)
