The ScoutCast – Episode 142 – Tight

There was just a wafer-thin point separating myself and Granville in Gameweek 11, despite my rivals decision to ignore the force of nature that is Alexis Sanchez.

In a svelte but packed episode of the ScoutCast, my co-host and I discuss the Chilean’s “essential” charms and pile praise on the reborn Stewart Downing and the new, reliable Leighton Baines v2.

Around the usual regulars, we drop in on some old favourites, as Aleks Kolarov discovers new methods of running Granville’s Gameweek and I somehow manufacture a way of snuggling under the Van Persie duvet. We also carry on nudging the Harry Kane-wagon, run our teams through the Gargatron computer and go on “Warnock Watch” once more.

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

      shush and listen

      I'd go krul

      krul and wisdom

    Last 12 matches (in all competitions):

    Cesc Fabregas - 2 goals, 8 assists, 3 clean sheets, 5 yellow cards.

    Leighton Baines - 2 goals, 9 assists, 4 clean sheets, 1 yellow card.

    If Everton last the next 10 minutes against Lille without conceding, make that 5 CS for Baines. Not sure I can ignore him any longer...

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Cesc clean sheet - 1 point.
      Baines clean sheet - 4 points.

        Not to mention that a Baines CS also gets him extra BPS and basically guarantees him bonus points. Or the 2.6m difference in price...

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          that too! 😀

        1. kesh
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Nor:
          Baines goal = 6 pts
          Fab goal = 5 pts

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      And only uses a defence slot rather than a precious midfield slot. Beastly.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      It's slightly bonkers to try and go without him...very brave at least..

      1. Ludo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Might have to get him next week, but would be for a hit, and four of his next six after this weekend are West Ham, Spurs, City and Southampton. He's outperforming just about every mid in the game for attacking points though, so I think it might need to be done.

      Haven't owned either one all year. 😆 And my captain picks have been dreadful. How the heck am I in the top 5k?

    4. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Was it 2 assists tonight or just the 1?

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Just 1. Two for McGeady.

      Baines gives you more ways to score points than any other player.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He taps into everything. The perfect FPL player.

      2. Pork Pie Sausage Roll

        If only he was on penalty saving duties

      You traveled through time and all you found out was the best scoutcast ever . What a waste

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Naismith + Lukaku both play the full 90.

    Eto'o wago'on.

    1. kesh
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Coleman rested as well (unfortunately Baines wasn't...does Everton even have a backup for him?)

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Oviedo played there last season when Baines was injured.

  5. dodger49
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Does it make sense to keep Siggy? Either him or Sterling. I know Sterling will deliver points starting next week (might even have an assist this week) but he isn't worth 8.5 price tag atm

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      There is sense in keeping both. But both are falling in price.

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I've thought long and hard about these two and looking at their fixtures and natural talent I can't believe that they won't find their form again. I'm not going to fiddle for now and I'm leaving them as is.

    3. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Keeping Siggy for sure.

      Sterling.. I already sold, so no comment about him.

    4. Ninjaa
      • 13 Years

      I did sterling and siggy > Sanchez and downing. Feel good about it tbh.

      1. dodger49
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        You must have had money in the bank or you must have done this 2 weeks ago - the math doesn't add up atm

        1. Ninjaa
          • 13 Years

          I had 1.8m in the bank. Forgot to mention

      Alexis no question

    2. Zasa
      • 9 Years

      Both solid, go w/ the latter though

  8. Twisted Saltergater

    Granville, you only lost 6 pts by captaining Hazard over Sanchez!!

                  S&M? Saido Mascherano 😀

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No he didn't, he lost 12 because he would have captained him. He wouldn't have owned Hazard too.

      1. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yep, he would have put the armband on the man.

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I thought he had both Hazard and Sanchez and chose to captain Hazard over Sanchez?

        Hazard 10 x 2 + Sanchez 16 = 36
        Hazard 10 + Sanchez 16 x 2 = 42

        If Granville doesn't have Sanchez at all then apologies! (And ouch!)

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          No, he decided to get Hazard and captain him instead of getting Sanchez and captaining him.

    3. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No it's 12 points. I had a clear choice between Hazard and Sanchez and I was always captaining one of them.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, Bubz (and further into the Scoutcast) put me straight.

        I captained Hazard over Sanchez last week too. His penalty duties and not knowing Wenger was going to switch to a 442 with Sanchez through the middle, tipped it in his favour for me.

        1. Granville
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I'm even more convinced now Fabregas is going to win out over Hazard.

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Hazard looks to be lacking confidence in front of goal. He seems more willing to try and force a penalty than tuck the ball into the corner when through on goal. Bit worrying as an owner.

            While I love Fabregas as a player, at the start of the season I thought he would play in Oscar's position more. I don't think he is worth 9-10m when I wouldnt wish to captain him.

        2. The Machine
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Wenger switched to 4-4-2 three weeks ago

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Well that's just not true, Nate. Starting and average positions vs Sunderland, the league game prior to Burnley.

    Where does Baines rank in the list of essential* players at the moment?

    *please don't tell me that "no player is essential blah blah blah"

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      3rd. Alright?

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Ok thanks. Who are 1,2 and 4?

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Aguero & Alexis, I'd guess.

          The thing with Baines is he won't be captained by masses, which makes a difference.

          1. MJ6987
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Makes him less essential you mean?

              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              I'd say he's essential in many ways... but in that way, yes. If you don't have Baines, you'll only ever lose 10ish points on the rest. If you don't have Aguero/Costa/Alexis/ADM etc... you may lose 20+ on the captainers, who could be large in number.

              But... Baines is a must-have.. as the Scoutcast explains. Immense consistency at £7m! 🙂

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Aguero and Sanchez.

    2. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      no player is essential

      based on fixtures, and form... 2nd/3rd

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Aghhhhh!

        Thanks

    3. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He can pass the ball pretty well

      1. Zasa
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        *Read it wrong

        Definitely in the t5, can't see him falling off the train really. Realistically a Chelsea defender might threaten for the t3 in defender rankings, but Baines game play is such a unique FPL prospect.

        Great player to watch as well if you fancy that.
        Penalties, set pieces, cleanies, goals, assists, BPS, t6 team.
        What else can you really say?

    4. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Top five for certain.

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Cool thanks.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        +1

    5. Ludo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'm starting to think that Aguero is the only essential forward, Sanchez the essential midfielder, and Baines the essential defender.

      Costa, Di Maria and (if he really starts turning it on) Hazard are the other players explosive enough to join that list, imo, though I wouldn't say their current form puts them up there just now.

      Baines is the one I haven't got, but I might just take have to take a long-term hit and get him in for Clyne/Bertrand next week.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed, except for Hazard. No consistency = not essential.

        1. Ludo
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          If he starts showing it that consistency, I mean. Agreed that he's further away than ADM and Costa from 'essential', currently.

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Hazard? Consistent? 😉 That'd be boring!

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Not forgetting Krul the essential goalkeeper.

    6. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      You are either essential or not. No player can be more or less essential than another

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I know I know. I just couldn't think of the word!

      3. Zasa

        Agreed, apple to oranges

      Saving money in that trade is a myth. The only way you could possibly save money on that is:

      a) if you intended to transfer out Siggy at some point anyway (and the difference between his selling value and price was an odd number i.e 0.3);
      b) if you intended to transfer in Downing at some point anyway; or
      c) you plan to get Siggy back in place of Downing at some point in the future, and downing rises double as much the difference between Siggy's selling value and his eventual buy price (for instance, if you bought him at 6.0, you would have sold him for 6.4. If you wanted him back at 6.7, you need downing to rise 0.6. If you wanted him back at 6.6, you need downing to rise 0.4)

      If you can honestly say that you satisfy either a), b) or c) - well done. Otherwise, it's just a simple trade with no 'money' consideration.

    Really i miss Aguero in my team , Already did my transfers before Manchtser derby ,

    Any Thoughts for next GWS ?

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi

      7 don't like the rafael pick and only way for you to get Aguero is through Costa.

    Kane scored again, could be such a bargain...

    1. That Fantasy Guy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      If. Only we knew if he,l start

    2. Zasa

  18. Obi Wan Elokobi

    Why did Swansea not sign De Guzman just seen he scored a hat trick for Napoli and didn't even realise he had joined them.

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Good question, I thought he looked great for them at times last year. Perhaps he had a falling out with Monk a la Chico Flores and Pablo Hernandez? Guess they aren't short of wingers though really with Montero, Dyer, and Routledge.

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He's not a winger. It looks like Ki has taken his spot.

        1. Walsh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I thought he was 😀 nothing to see here...

  19. That Fantasy Guy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Please make my decision easier haha...

    A. Naismith and sterling -> Sahko and Chadli for free

    B. Naismith, sterling and begovic -> Pele and downing, foster for -4

    C. Welbeck, sterling and begovic -> Sahko and Sanchez, pantilimon for -4

    D. Naismith, Welbeck sterling -> Pelle sahko and Chadli -4

    My team as is...
    Krul - Begovic
    Clyne -Chambers- Baines - Wisdom -hutton
    Sterling -Fabregas -Tadic - ADM- Marney
    Aguero - Naismith - Welbeck

    Would obviously play Krul if I got pantilimon or 4.0 keeper
    thanks

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely not B or C anyway taking a hit on a GK is definitely not worth it unless it is to free up funds and even then still not. A and D both look alright. Pelle's fixtures turn bad shortly though.

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        It is to free funds but I really want sanchez?

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Any money itb? Can you afford Sterling and Tadic to Downing and Sanchez?

          1. That Fantasy Guy
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Unfortunately no only .3 in bank and thus want a 4.0 keeper for cash

    2. kesh
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      If you can do Welbeck/Sterling for Sakho/Sanchez that would be ideal. If you can't afford it then C (but I don't like Sunderland's defence at the moment...)

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I can go for a 4.0 keeper I have krul

    Is Fantasy Football Fix safe to enter your FPL Email/Password?

    2. Walsh

      Yeah they only change your captain once during the year before the deadline as fee for using their service. Not a big deal.

      I think it's fine - but I believe there's also an option to get data without entering your password (you have to dig a bit to find it). I skimmed through their privacy policy and it seems fine, I believe they may use aggregate data to help with some of their analysis. They have the option to make changes to your squad but you have to approve it (they won't do it without your permission, and believe they charge for it anyway).

    Boring question, but has Moore (Leicester defender) lost his place?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Moore is less.

        Heh, very good!

  24. Bootsy: Snoddy's Reven…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Sakho vs Berahino

    Who would you buy? .....

    Both have form, similar price 5.8m vs 6.0m, Fixtures slightly favour Sakho, both have just been called up for International duty with England and Senegal respectively.

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sakho

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sakho.

    2. Bootsy: Snoddy's Reven…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'm a little concerned about Sakho coming back from injury, and then travelling to Africa for the first time with the national team, with big games against Egypt and Botswana....then coming home last minute to play Everton @ Goodison

      1. NATSTER
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        This should be concern really.

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I am selling Berahino for Sakho next week. Look at WBM fixtures.

    4. kesh
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I chose Sakho personally and feel good about it. Fixtures definitely in his favour, as well as his points per game that he's played

  25. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Bendtner - 2 goals in 2 minutes

  26. A.T
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    If DM's could score more points James McCarthy would be straight in my team. What a player!

  27. MJ6987
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Another boring question....

    Who is more nailed on S.Taylor or Dummett?

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Haha, I think I'm swapping Moore for STaylor, just to save the £0.2m

    2. Bellerinmondo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I think both for now?

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I wasn't sure if Taylor was only playing cos Williamson has been injured?

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          He was... but he has the shirt now, in a winning team. But could easily be ditched. Manager's prerogative.

        1. David Brains - OH NO!
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          They've been pretty solid without him though

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      You are either nailed on or ..... never mind 😛

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I guess there are degrees of nailed on-ness, sellotaped on etc..

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        😆 x2.

      2. MJ6987
        • 13 Years

        You are on fire tonight. +1

    4. Ludo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Dummett standing in for Santon, Steven Taylor for Williamson.

      Williamson is probably closer to a recovery, but whilst Santon will almost certainly regain his spot in the side when fit, Taylor has done better than Williamson has alongside Coloccini this season. Then again, Taylor himself is an injury prone player.

      Summary - I don't know!

    5. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I have both because I'm a cheap skate.

    6. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      My old mate Dummett. Had him since day 1, bless.

    7. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Newcastle have only conceded 1 goal in 4 with Saylor playing. I don't think Williamson will get back on ahead of Saylor unless he gets injured or messes up severely. Dummet should be fairly nailed also. Depends on when Santon is back.

  28. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years

    Is Kane sellotaped on for this weekend ?

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      blu-tacked

      Velcro

      1. Dr Dream

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      That annoying piece of sellotape that you just cannot get rid of ...

    4. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      🙂 Great chance of starting but he will be off after 60 if not done the biz and becomes an instant risk again. I think he will start but is not a good pick yet

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed.

      2. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Exactly. He's basically got 60 odd mins (or less considering what happened with eriksen) to prevent himself from being pushed back to the bench

        1. Moddle
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Difficult to say who will be dropped. Eriksen, Lamela or Chadli could all be dropped to make room for Kane. Or Kane could continue as a subersub----

          1. kesh
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Not Chadli! *crosses fingers*
