The ScoutCast – Episode 128 – Robotic

Is there really room for emotion and sentiment in Fantasy Football management? This week’s episode questions whether the detached, cold and almost robotic approach is the way to go. Of course, Granville and I already know the answer, leaving us to curse our sensitive sides. Ironically, this realisation comes after a weekend when, not for the first time, Aleks Kolarov almost reduced me to tears.

The pair of us manage to restore a stiff upper lip long enough to rinse through further double Gameweek debate, chew the fat over the belated Luis Suarez assist and take on another selection of posers from you, the listener. There’s “all aboard” the weekend preview and the latest in my battle with the ScoutCast XI. It’s beating me again. Without a player from the top four. Is it any wonder I’m an emotional wreck?

          Oh no it would only be template-y in the top 30k. I have a very similar team (expect I have Coleman and you have Zab, really the only difference) and don't expect my rank to change very much this GW as I'm in the top 15k.

      Hmm if it were Terry or Cahill I might play them in the chance of a goal or something, but Azpi offers nothing there. Tough one. I fancy the match to be close. Azpi 6, Hazard 3. May be worth risking a possible extra 3 points in case Hazard does something.

    Mark was pretty dismissive of Januzaj's game time over the double. He's a damn sight better than the other wing players they have, so what's with the attitude? Realistically, how much do you think Januzaj will play guys? Am I missing something here?

        I doubt he has the kahunas to drop RvP and/or has the sense to play Welbeck. Then again he is a football manager and I'm not.

              He should. It is not that Collins is slow, although that underlines the need for Tompkins - it is that he is crap. He is making 3 to 4 mistakes a game. He has been incredibly lucky, this Season.

      I really fail to see why anyone is interested in bringing him in or keeping him in their side. No attacking returns in the last 10 games and has only played 90 mins on 6 occasions this season.

      Am I missing something, why do you want him in your side?

      I'd keep personally, Chelsea have a really good run of games and Hazard is their best player. Depends how badly you need a differential, if you badly need one, it is a massive risk, but could easily work out well.

    Hi everyone, I have my WC active for this week, so if you could give me some pointers on my team I would really appreciate it!

    I have pretty low team value and I am 70 points down in my ML, so I have given my self what I think are a decent mix of differentials, players with future double gameweeks and some good options for this week too; if you spot something that you'd change or should be different I will really appreciate any tips/advice 🙂

    Mannone (K. Davis)

    Distin Chester Zabaleta (Azpi Ward)

    AJ Sterling Nolan Silva (Hazard)

    Sturridge Lukaku Suarez
