The ScoutCast – Episode 135 – Arrivals

With cheque books fluttering on the eve of the transfer window slamming shut, our Fantasy seasons could be transformed by some notable new arrivals. In this week’s ScoutCast episode, Granville and I chew over the latest fresh faces to crash the player list – United’s “Angel” Di Maria and Liverpool’s “Devil” Balotelli.

With just a single point between us and the comfort of top 100k placings, my co-host and I are more than just a little content as we the rule over the current bandwagons and preview another weekend’s action. It won’t last.

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

      When I come on I open up all of the articles I missed, sort the comments by discussion rating, and read through the first page of each article's top rated comments, and then I come to the present-day comments 🙂

      1. Zep
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I do that too...

        There was once I was away for about a week, and I opened every single article I hadn't read... 😀

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Haha I did that before as well and got bored after a few articles 😆

          It's an easy way to spend Monday mornings in work though 😉

      Just dive straight in. I'm a giver not a taker.

    8. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I check hot topics and stickies. If Im looking for peoples opinions I usually ask cos I like the feedback from guys I know in the DZ. If Im busy Ill come straight out and just ask.

    I find it really strange that many around here aren't even considering this the guy at the top of this table as their captain this week

    http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/6244/

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      this guy*

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He's a risk of a 1-pointer. Could easily be dragged before the hour if he's having a quiet game. Plenty are considering him though.

      1. BigManBakar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Not a chance, I've been checking a lot of their forums recently and from what I gather, he is nailed

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          So if Dzeko is having a blinder and he's having a stinker he won't be pulled for Aguero?

          Ok...

          1. Alexe
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Lol are we still hiding this guy's identity?

          2. BigManBakar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            What makes you think that way? He's the guy in form

            1. Billy Gilmore
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              I'm just saying it's not like Rooney, who regardless of how he's playing will get 90.

              He nearly did it 2 weeks ago...

        2. Whazza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Nailed doesn't mean 90 mins

          1. BigManBakar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            He could still wreck havoc even with limited minutes

    3. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I think the chap in second place shows how misleading stats can be. Early days but I'm not impressed by him at all.

      1. BigManBakar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Same here, but the second guy is more of a donkey esque poacher really, the one I am talking about is quality

    4. Essan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I am 😀

      1. BigManBakar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Same here 🙂

    5. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hey that's my captain 😀

      1. BigManBakar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Join the club 🙂

    6. bennydebull
      • 11 Years

      I like these cryptic posts from members. Can we have more of them 🙂

      1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        they are hardly cryptic 😀

        1. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          This.

  3. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Do you know what, even if Costa is fit I may well bring Jovetic 'back' for him (another one week punt to fail !)

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      😆

      Bony (c)

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Errrr.... No thanks 🙂

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You could go for the top of the table player from the post above......I've taken that table and added the "Accuracy/on Target" columns and he's still top.

  4. SLOT GACOR MAXWIN
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    RVP or Costa? Already have Rooney

    1. GameKR
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      RVP.. Fitness worry for Costa! I would rather suggest that you go with Jovetic (available at a low price) !

  5. 50shades of o'shea
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Just saw that Bruce is after cleverly and attempting to hijack the Aston villa deal by offering an extra mil. Don't do this to us Bruce. Your a great manager don't buy that..

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Only rumours tho 😉

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I honestly think he'll do well at a club like Hull or Villa.

  6. AAAAA
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Will Eriksen fall tonight? TotalFpl shows him at -105%, but I heard over here that its not yet working this season..

    1. 2Goals1Cup
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Completely confused as to what to do for the upcoming GW, I have 1FT which I really wanted to save for the Intl. break but anyway here is my team :

      Krul
      Hutton , Jones , N.Taylor
      Sterling, Siggy, Fab, Rambo
      Rooney, Jovetic, Costa

      Subs; Bego,Caulker, C.Davies, JWP

      Please give any advice or opinion , Thanks 🙂

    2. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Think he will. Will be a lot of activity today

    3. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Should if already dropped. Shhh don't jinx it!

    4. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Just bring in king Erik

  7. mm0507
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Kaboul starting position is in danger with Fazio in the team?

    Chester > PvA looks like good move because of better fixture?

  8. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is it just me or are people making too many changes based off a couple of games? Seeing a lot of hate on Sturridge, Rooney, Toure, Sanchez, etc. but they've only played two games. Hard to judge them this early.

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Toure was poor against Liverpool but it was only because Rogers got his tactics spot on, He crowded the midfiled. So yaya isn't done yet

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Spot on? They lost 3-1!

  9. HUMZAH96
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Swansea have signed former Nottingham Forest striker James Demetriou on a two-year deal.

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Is he any good for premiership level?

        1. HUMZAH96
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Doubt it, but it further points to Monk movving to 2 strikers, new signing as a back-up?

            Questioning siggy as (c) now

            1. In Like Flynn.
              • Has Moderation Rights

              Not be a worry for this week I'd have thought.

              1. HUMZAH96
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  Armband is on Jovetic atm... this is too much stress. How are you going for?

                  1. HUMZAH96
                      9 years, 8 months ago

                      Who*

            2. Bolivian Seaman
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              That looks like a replacement for Bony, with Gomis the 1st choice striker. Come to arsenal please Bony

              1. HUMZAH96
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  (reply from above)

                  Doubt it, but it further points to Monk movving to 2 strikers, new signing as a back-up?

              9 years, 8 months ago

              Any Newcastle fans able to give their thoughts on Dummett's chances of keeping his place over the next few gws?

              I already have Krul but I like Newcastle this season and those are good fixtures

            4. HUMZAH96
                9 years, 8 months ago

                AGREEMENT between Fernando Torres and AC Milan on a 3-year deal. Milan have set a deadline for Chelsea. Agents in London.

                1. Make United Great Again
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  Chelsea will be signing a forward then

                  1. DO RE MI MATA
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    Agreed. Must be. Falcao incoming? 😀

                      • 14 Years
                      9 years, 8 months ago

                      looks like he's off to madrid

                        Benzema incoming!! 😀

                  2. HUMZAH96
                      9 years, 8 months ago

                      Destro is looking the most likely

                    • Wishdom Teeth
                      • 10 Years
                      9 years, 8 months ago

                      swansea signed a striker so may be bony is coming 😛

                        I even saw some rumors about Remy in. Honestly have no idea, but a lot of media are talking about Destro.

                2. MattHanstead

                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  David Silva or Hazard?

                  1. A.T
                    • 13 Years
                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    Haz

                    • 9 Years
                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    Hazard if Costa is injured for this GW.. Silva is good but hv few tough fixtures ahead!

                3. Fernando Torres
                  • 12 Years

                        Why are so many giving advice to bench Hutton? Because the alternatives are better? Could very well be a CS against Hull, no? Did I miss sth.?

                        (just pondering options in case Costa is 100% out)

                          If you have Hutton you're definitely playing him this week. Other than that you certainly don't want to be bringing him in this week!

                            But why is that? Hull that threatening? Haven't seen any games of either team so far mind you.

                              Check the fixtures.

                                What fixtures? Maybe you misunderstood, I have Hutton already. Was just curious why many would advice to bench him - Hull scored only two goals so far (QPR and Stoke).

                                  Forget it, missed your point about bringing him in.

                                  He's fine for the Hull game, play him, but take a look at the 4 teams Villa play after Hull.

                                  I have Hutton and am keeping as 4m can easily be benched. Think he is the best of the ~4m def options.

                          Easy! Uhm... err...

                          I think I'd bench Wisdom and Bruce.

                          Wisdom and Bruce... Think you might end up with Wisdom coming on with Chambers 0 minutes though.

                          Definitely play Terry and Taylor. I don't think Bruce (and possibly Chambers) will start, so choose between Wisdom and Chambers (if you think he'll start) for the third spot.

                          But, I told you to bench Wisdom last week and he got 8 points so ignore all this.

                          Bruce, (he's lecturing in Australia) Wisdom, it's the wisest choice.

                          The ironic thing is, money obviously matters to Legia as well or they would have paid for a decent administrator to check eligibility of players. 😆

                        Hopefully Torres can reignite his career at Milan. It's highly unlikely but the slow pace of the Serie A might suit him.

                          Destro is Chelsea's top target. He got 13 goals in 20 apps last season.

                            FISO price change table may be working after a fashion now

                            On a very quick glance I think FPL have changed their data structure. The last change replaced the key number with zeroes. I think that they've removed the place for the field at all now indicating that yes this change is permanent and deliberate.

                            So CTC is picking up the number that is now on the place of the old useful number.

                              I'll give it a +1 as it sounds good despite me not understanding any of it.

                              are they on track now?

                              FISO not looking any better to me - eight players marked over 100% to rise, only one of them did

                            OK I've woke up to find that there have been no price changes - again.
                            I think this confusion has gone on far too long for it not to be recognised with a members article at the very least recognising this, and collating what IS currently known in the community about the problem.
                            It's an essential part of the game, particularly in the first half of the season when we're all looking to build as much value as possible for our January Wild Cards.

                            Come on FFS, sort it out - speak to the people at fido, totalfpl and FPL towers and feed us back some information or an idea of what changes have been made.

                            Really do hate being a moaner, but I feel like this is exactly the kind of thing is what we pay our members fees for.

                                  PS... You do realise players (us) are not supposed to know the price rises before they happen?

                                  The confusion at fiso &'totalfpl will be music to their ears at FPL towers...

                                  They have just changed their algorithm this year, it'll take time to settle.

                                    They're also no longer making the data that Fiso and TotalFPL needed to calculate the ownership and NTI/NTO for all the players.

                                  Maybe FPL don't want sites decoding their system.

                                  They could change the formula every week just to stop everyone knowing which day changes would occur

                                  Really miffed that FFS haven't even recognised the issue at all tho
                                  Even if it's just an article to say - "no one knows!"

                                  For example, why Chadli and no one else?

                                      It hasn't even updated for nearly 24 hours.

                                        IGNORE the clock it's an omission but more important matters needed fixing its still updating despite the clock

                                      it's as accurate as it's now possible to get, further work will try and get it better but with data missing it's never going to be error free

                                But Mark isn't really into price changes, he seems to wait till Friday to do his transfers, will keep a player regardless of price falls if he thinks it's the right thing to do, etc.

                                I think the reason nothing has been said is nothing is known. Not much point compiling an article to say as much.

                                I'd assumed they had changed it specifically to lessen the emphasis on 'building team value'

                                By making price increases rarer they are calming down the market and allowing people to hold players and wait for the form.

                              b) costa > ade/jovetic
                              c) dzeko > ade/jovetic

                                I did A and B with my 2 frees.

                              Hello morning crew!

                              I've love your thoughts on this wildcard team - http://imgur.com/1xXavXK (0.2m in the bank).

                              Main concerns:

                              - the double up for City is hugely risky with Aguero possibly not starting
                              - Doubling up on Southampton defence. Although for around 5m I'm not sure there's better options.
                              - Should I downgrade Rose or 1 Southampton to 4.5m (PvA?) so I can afford Jovetic to Adebayor

                              ?

                              Cheers!

                                Absolutely love it, if I was going to wildcard, this would be what I go for.

                                  Maybe go for PvA over Rose, but I wouldn't change Jovetic to Ade, I'd change Hazard to Sanchez.

                                    Jovetic to Ade is more of a long term thing sorry. Money in the bank to do it in case of a lack of game time.

                                      i would save .5 to change jov, but would downgrade clyne

                                Nice team! but I would Degrade Aguero and Upgrade Ramsey to Sanchez

                                  Really? I've had Sanchez first 2 weeks. Not hugely convinced by his output just yet.

                                    Ramsey > Sanchez

                              Any solid info yet on whether Dzeko, Austin or Costa will start? Will I need the pressers for all 3?

                                probably yes
