The ScoutCast – Episode 138 – Secretary

Granville’s lackadaisical approach to the new campaign might just explain why he’s treading water. Missing deadlines and price rises, my ScoutCast co-host badly needs to introduce some organisation into his season if he’s to keep pace – the man needs a PA – get your applications in.

With Granville floundering, I’ve decided to lay down my Wildcard to potential rub further salt into his wounds. Is it a chronic case of “jerky knee”? Granville certainly thinks (hopes) so.

We chat over my Wildcard revolution, analyse how the heavy-hitting midfielders are failing to pull their weight and rinse through the usual regulars in the same disorganised fashion.

    Unlikely I know, but are there any price change sites which have been particularly accurate for *risers* ?

        same here, haven't listened to one this season. maybe half last season.

        don't get me wrong, I think they are fine, I just don't really have time coupled with inclination

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            😀 For someone on here so often, you'll find it interesting and useful too. 🙂

      Whoooooooooooop

      Scoutcast!!!!

    13. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 12 Years

      Who to play Clyne or Wilson this week!

    14. TheOneAndOnly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      .................... DDG ........................
      ........ Moreno - Clyne - Baines ......
      ... Sterling - DiMaria -Siggy -Tadic ...
      ......... Aguero - Costa - Ulloa .........

      I'm giving DDG 2more weeks but I realise he needs to go..

      Look good to go??

      1. @Talk_Shite
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Good team. I have Tadic as well but benching him as I can see sot-tot being a tight one. I'm starting Downing to have a go at that QPR def. Here's my team:

        Manno (Bego)
        Iva, Clyne, Moore (Duff, Wisdom)
        Sterling, AdM, Downing, Hazard (Tadic)
        DC, Ulloa, Pelle

        I'm thinking of Haz-->Silva. Thoughts?

        1. TheOneAndOnly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yeh i reckon Silva is a good shout considering you have no Aguero, although I feel a Hazard peno is due to bite some people in d arse soon.. myself included

          1. @Talk_Shite
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Costa surely on pk's?

    15. Ninjaa
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Had 2 freebies so did my first one of Rooney > dzeko last night. Defensive dilemma though, currently got
      Bertrand bardsley chambers n.taylor Duff. Do I need a defensive transfer and if so who for who? 1.9m in the bank. Thanks for views guys 

      1. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Why in the world would you get Dzeko? What are your other strikers?

        I'd save the other tranny and play Bert Bardsley and Naylor

        1. Ninjaa
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Other strikers costa and Pelle. Dzeko seems a good pick imo

          1. Les Bleus
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Fair enough. Always better to go with your gut.

      2. The Albatross
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        save it

    16. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling>Tadic? 2ft. I feel like he wont start

      1. Ninjaa
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Sterling = season keeper imo

      2. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He'll start.

      3. The Albatross
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Rodgers won't make that mistake again

    17. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      On a WC who is the best budget striker under 6m? Currently deciding between Ulloa or Sakho

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Ulloa easily.

    18. Cars and Mané

      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I've only ever listened to the Ricky gervais podcast from years ago. Listening to this I keep expecting to hear Carl pilkington pop in. May be because I'm a little drunk.

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        How good we're those podcasts with Karl?

    19. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years

      Rambo to drop tonight? Or Silva to rise?

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        No - No

    20. TD Champ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Who to start? (2 of 3)

      Taylor (NEW), Moore (BUR), Clyne (tot)

      1. radawson
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Bench Clyne

    21. @Talk_Shite

      Posted this above...

      Manno (Bego)
      Iva, Clyne, Moore (Duff, Wisdom)
      Sterling, AdM, Downing, Hazard (Tadic)
      DC, Ulloa, Pelle

      I'm thinking of Haz-->Silva. Thoughts?

    22. The Wizard of Ozil
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      which looks best?

      A) Welbeck & Sigurdsson
      B) Pellè & Puncheon/Dyer/Downing (Which one?)
      C) Ulloa & Tadic

    23. Kerz
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Is Aguero really worth £5m more than Welbeck?

      1. The Albatross
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        too injury prone for my liking, so no

      2. GRIMANDI [formerly boring M…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        The question is would that 5m be better spent else where

      3. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Depends on how you use that money.

      4. another bad start
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Not with his upcoming fixtures IMHO

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lloris having a stormer.

      1. @Talk_Shite
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Dier looking good too. Hmm...

    24. Wouter
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lloris is too good for Spurs.

      Would've been the perfect replacement for Valdes imo, he has everything a Barca keeper needs to have. Quick of his line, good in one on one's, great reflexes and not scared to claim the ball in the box.

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He only stayed because AVB left

    25. Top 210 Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Is it just me or is playon on the blink? keeps removing player when I save on team 2 and team 3!? WTF

      1. The Albatross
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        it's doing the same to me

    26. another bad start
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Get Baines in this week or next

      1. Top 210 Club
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        next

      2. another bad start
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Would be playing Moore this week

        1. Kerz
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          In that case, get Baines next week

        • 10 Years

      1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        • 11 Years

        Yes IMO. And I'm very well informed.

        1. Proggy
          • 10 Years

          Source?

            • 11 Years

            I'm an FFS legend. I don't have a source but I do pick up on things. I'm confident.
