The ScoutCast – Episode 136 – Bangin

Fond of sand dunes and salty air, Granville returns from “avin’ it large” in Ibiza, to join me once again in the ScoutCast studio.

The ageing hedonist and I rinse through the regulars – giving our views on the week’s transfer bandwagons, whilst previewing the weekend and giving a shout-out to those managers blazing trails atop the various Fantasy Football Scout leagues.

Inevitably, we also moan about our Gameweek mishaps, discuss the latest development in the United revolution and surf the waves being generated by the Fantasy Premier League price tweaks.

Drop the beats via this link or “roll another fat one” via the handy player below…

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

    Is it wise to have Bego and Shawcross in the team this week? Stoke have been fairly dodge.

    I have Clyne and Cissokho on the bench?

      Nothing wrong with doubling up. There was a guy who once had 3 STK defenders. Not seen much of him late, mind.

      You need take a view on the result to make these decisions, imo.

      Not keen on Baines (too early to get him), Rafael (always been unrelaible). Welbeck (not heavy enough), Aguero (injury prone), Duff (too old).

      Apart from that, I like it. 😉

      Moore I believe, but just look at Duff's fixtures. He is playable in all but 1 of the next 12 fixtures. Worry about him when he loses his place.

    Think I'm down to these 2 options - votes please! 🙂

    (A) GW5: Save
    GW6: Assess best route to get Costa with 2 freebies

    (B) GW5: Terry -> Betrand
    GW6: Bony & Ade -> Costa & Pelle (4 points)

    (A) avoids a hit and gives extra flexibility to tweak how I get Costa next week, but the transfers in (B) seem to make a lot of sense given form and fixtures.

    Is it worth doing Sterling for Di maria and Manquilo for 4.0? minus 4 hit

    Open Controls
    1. KenJM
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I would say so - Sterling dropping (-1,432) and Di Maria is increacing (+10,164)
      As for Manquilo - It depends on the rest of your defence - but to free up the money for Di Maria
      good 4.0 m defenders are hard to find ( Hutton 4.1 / Duff 4.1 ) maybe Wisdom or Moore - both 4.0
      Wisdom is +71.5% - so could go up in price early next week.
      If you take a 4 point hit with getting Di Maria I would make him captian against Leicester.
      Hope this helps.......
