The ScoutCast – Episode 129 – Bitter

There’s no getting away from it, Granville and I are nothing short of bitter middle aged, middle of the table Fantasy managers. This week’s ScoutCast is a vitriol-filled slab of double Gameweek failure, inspired by Yaya Toure’s relentless point scoring and our stubborn reluctance to recruit his talents.

Of course, in between skinning our sour grapes, Granville and I dabble with the podcast regulars, whilst responding to another round of community posers including a lookey-likey query that smiles kindly on my co-host and has me recounting the tale of my very own office doppleganger.

Wallow in self pity via this link or look on the bright side via the player below…

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

    Really slow these days. More and more people giving up I guess. Even Gran has thought about it lol. FPL does take up quite a bit of time and I can't help but think my life was better before I found this game. Its similar to how I feel about poker. Its fun and all but my life would have been better had I never found that game.

        Going for diffs to Yaya hurt me pretty badly this season. Never really adapted even when the DGW chance came I still refused to bring in Yaya. Hopefully I can still scrape top5k and pretend this season never happened.

          You're hitting for a defender for no good reason. If you couldn't field 3 good one then thats one thing but you can.

          I only just realised ur doing it so you can afford Lallana. I would rather save the FT this week and do it for free next week if you still wanted too. I doubt the points ev is that different between Nolan and Lallana this week to even bother with the hit.

    Does this look allright for the weekend or would you get rid of Nolan for Barkley perhaps in prepartion for double. Really feel like Barkley is due a rest tho. Think im hanging onto AJ for now.

    Also play Dummet or Chester?

          It was OK, small green arrow so I can't complain...

          That sounds like fun, were you in a big race or something?

          Did you have access to your team at all over the past to weeks?

            Wasn't a race, just an 'experience' of life at sea.

            I got my parents to do transfers for me.. Jeez, it's not easy explaining FPL to people who don't know much about football! We weren't allowed any electrical communication (phones, internet etc) on the ship so I had to tell them what transfers to do before I left. Obviously it wasn't very convenient since I didn't know the results/news from GW30 and it could've been ruined by a few injuries but luckily my team was all fit so the transfers worked out ok. Not gonna lie - I was quite nervous. Could've potentially ruined my season if things didn't go to plan!

              I wonder how a team would work out if you had to plan all of your transfers on day 1. I guess changes in schedules and DGW's would cause difficulties but would be the same for everyone

    Haven't been around for ages, it must've been pretty hectic with everyone preparing for the DGW. I ended up on 170 (-4) which I'm happy with but there's probably hundreds of posters here who did better!

    In saying that, I would love some opinions on my current team...

    Mannone
    Baines Cahill Chester
    Gerrard Mata Silva Hazard
    Suarez Sturridge Lukaku

    Adrian Olsson Jedinak Ward

    Thinking of saving the FT this week then shipping Mata + Olsson > City def and another mid next week. Any better ideas?

    Do you think that Suarez and Sturridge is the way to go until the end of the season. Or do you think Liverpools downturn in fixtures combined with (hopeful) return or Aguero with DGW's is the occasion where one of them has to go? I think if fit Sturridge is going to have to go for Aguero myself
