The ScoutCast – Episode 152 – Threesome

Visuals returned to the ScoutCast this week, as Granville and I cuddled up in a Google Hangout, with Jonty crashing in to form a ménage à trois.

Those of you who were on the site on Monday evening got the opportunity to join the sausage party via our You Tube channel. If you missed out, you can view the entire uncut version of the Hangout via the Hangout movie below.

If you prefer your ScoutCast in the regular, edited and polished audio format, you can of course get the goodness via this link or via the player below.

We’ll be looking to book ourselves in for future Hangouts every Monday evening – cropping up again next week prior to Tuesday’s deadline. Subscribe to our You Tube channel to get prior warning and look out for the dedicated Hot Topic on Monday.

    Is it just me that thinks Mark looks a little like Edward Norton? 😀

      Errr no, Edward Norton looks a little like Mark

    Just made my Baird > C.Dawson transfer. Exciting times!!!

    1. Gr3g
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      All the people getting WB defenders, especially Dawson... I feel this is going to end in tears!

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Nah, have to disagree. Solid budget defenders with good fixtures. What would your alternative be in that price bracket?

        1. Gr3g
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I have Baird my self and he need to be offloaded. It's between Naughton and Yoshida for me 🙂 I know people think Yoshida will play only this GW but I believe he got another GW in him, the midweek one 🙂

    Any suggestions how to spend at leats 1ft?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      PVA to Dawson, or Lescott if you have no plans for Erik next week.

      you're lucky, most of us (including me) are playing PVA this week.

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years

      PVA > Lescott

      1. M4d_H4tt3r
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I don't like to have that much money tied up in defence.
        Next gw i am doing ADM-Erik and i want to have some free money to get sanchez/costa if they return to form.
        Was thinking PVA-> 4.5 (Dawson, maybe Reveillere, but not sure how nailed on they are)

  4. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Moussa Sissoko or Fellaini?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years

      seriously?

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Fellaini

    3. Gr3g
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Fellani! Only because the filosophee has finally figured it out. Long ball all the way 🙂

    so for the armband? who's going Kun?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      many

      1. Penang Sandman
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        youre not gonna go with him i suppose. Sanchez?

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Still undecided.

          But my choices are him, Alexis, or Walters. Probably him.

    3. Big Bad Barry

      No me! Gone without all season as everyone has him. Doing okay so far

    4. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      80%+

    5. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Considering ADM...madness?

      1. Penang Sandman
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        just dont think he do go big, good pick still

      2. Snooze ya lose
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Held on to him for too long. Luckily I got rid for silva last week!

    6. Penang Sandman
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      me myself want to have a punt on Ings though

      1. buffrey
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        If you still have Ings (and he's continued delivering) I would defo captain him. But of a differential and actually probably got he best offensive fixture out of the likely choices.

        1. Penang Sandman
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          yes totally agree with the fixture, its one of the best for this GW. also think its probably gonna be a tight 1-0 game at Liverpool

      Yup . Who you bringing in next gw ?

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Austin + Rose/Eriksen

        1. Spatburgunder
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          That's my plan too using 1 ft this week and rolling over so I have 2 next week . Toying with lloris over rose though .

          1. Siva Mohan
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Rose for attacking points.. would he could share game time with Davies?

            1. Siva Mohan
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              *he share

              1. Spatburgunder
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                Potentially their def is a minefield with 4 games in 7 . There's a good community article on it .

                1. Siva Mohan
                  • 11 Years

    2. bdwhite91
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'm gonna play with 10 this week if PVA is benched because I'm valuing my 2 FT for next week more than what would probably amount to a 2 point net gain. I have 0.2 in the bank so I can do a straight swap of Defoe to Austin, or Sterling to Eriksen and maybe another transfer. Sound good?

      Or I could do PVA to another 4.2 or below. Thoughts?

      1. bdwhite91
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        oops didnt mean to reply to your post. Looks good to me. Who are you captaining?

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Aguero

      2. NIGHTHIKER - I Kane, I Shaw…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I'm in the same position and I'm keeping PVA in order to have 2FTs. Even if he doesn't start, he'll probably come off the bench for a 1 pointer; I would have definitely played him if I'd known he'd play the full 90 but even then he may well have conceded 2 goals for a 1 pointer anyway so IMO it's not worth getting rid.

        He might even be recalled...

  10. Spatburgunder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Considering boyd > ki or moses . No other pressing issues. Any thoughts?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If you have only 1 FT, better save it

      1. Spatburgunder
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Got 2 . Seels a shame to lose one

  11. davies
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Any give Defoe any hope this week?

    1. bdwhite91
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Against a United defense, yes. I'm tempted by N'Doye though.

      1. Snooze ya lose
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I like ndoye. May do defoe to him soon

            1. RubeRx
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              just optimistic

              1. NABIL - FPL otai
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                As a Gooner, I won't be that optimistic after a crushing defeat. Plus EVE are no pushovers despite having a poor season, and the spirit in Goodison may still be high come Sunday.

                MCI otoh face an overplayed, out-of-sorts looking LIV side. imo they'll be gunning to reduce the deficit from CHE this weekend, and Aguero always has PKs in his locker.

                Your call, man. I probably won't do it. But if Alexis pulls it, you'll be a legend 😉

    2. davies
      • 9 Years

      Certainly, if Bellerin and PVA grab a few points.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai

        here's hoping.

    B: Coutinho
    C: Dunno

    ",

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years

      Take Azpi out instead.

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Take both out.

      1. jennmenn
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        But would you prefer a rested Coutinho or a maybe tired Sterling?

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Sterling. But toss of a coin who comes out on top imo.

          1. jennmenn
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            True. Interesting fantasy times ^^

  21. davies
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you captain?

    A) Aguero (liv)
    B) ADM (SUN)
    C) Sanchez (EVE)
    D) Cazorla (EVE)

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I've decided A now, I was Giroud till his Rocky horror show!

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      D. I am

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years

        Those penos will run out 😉

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

        Why Cazorla over Sanchez if I may ask? Will there be a pen?

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I think it is always likely with Arsenal. Eve are proud enough to get frustrated when Arsenal's attacking mids make raid after raid.

        2. ILOVEBAPS
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          And I am also not too certain on Alexis' returns with Ozil back. Another blank and I will replace him.

    Can a city fan explain yaya's role to me? Is it likely he will be played more advanced at any point throughout the rest of the season or does his role in a game change as the match goes on depending in the score line as I know he has good statistics during the last 10 minutes of games! I could do with him kicking on now!

    1. Syd.

      His role is basically central midfield behind the attacking players and in front of the defensive midfielders. It can change slightly depending who Pellers picks and how the team is playing

      1. The Kolarov Mane ⚔
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I have noticed that he plays the first 60 mins in a more defensive mindset but in the last 20 - 30 odd he seems to move more up the pitch and becomes a massive threat. Goals this season

        vs Villa ( 82min )
        vs Swansea ( 62min )
        vs Southampton ( 51min )
        vs Everton ( 24 min - PEN )
        vs Palace ( 81min )
        vs WBA ( 13min - PEN )
        vs Sunderland ( 57min )

        Other than the PEN's his goals all came in the second half.

        Whether that info helps or not, I am not sure... but it is clear that the first 45 he sits deeper and after the break starts pushing forward increasingly as the game comes to a close.

      He plays deep and dictates play. Almost every attack will go through him.
      Due to City's dominance with possession he will also attack but often stays on the edge of the opposing teams area so doesn't really have mant touches in the box.
      Later in games, Pellegrini pushes him in a more advanced role depending on circumstances and subs

      Silva just seems better now, normality has been restored!

    I haven't a clue what to do this weekend

    Only 8 possible starters given PVA & Wisdom are dead

    Take hits to field 10

    Hope PVA starts

    Play WC

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years

      Same boat Syd,
      Wc has crossed my mind,
      I'm on -4 now, contemplating -8
      I've taken 3 hits so far all season so this is scary see below

    2. Jonny Sutt
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'd just transfer 1 perhaps, wisdom for Dawson.

  24. HVT
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    On my own def nightmare: 1ft/1.0itb

    Dawson/Hutton??/Bellerin??/PVA??
    (Terry) and I've Marney to boot!
    PVA > Wolly looks certain for me
    I'm now contemplating Terry > Bertie -4
    and Marney > Boyd for -8
    That should give me 9 starters maybe 11 if Hutton/Bellerin start??
    Next week is next week, Rose/Erik/Austin??? I'll see
    Any thoughts/help even lads??

      who's that on your grav? 😯

      What a deep sh*te you're in. Marney's priority to go imo. Don't take -8. 1 hit if you must, but I'd prefer no hit since most (if not many) active people are going to play with 9/10 ppl so just chill man.

        Robert Smith of 'the Cure' I felt it was an apt change,
        My team is sick and and I need a fix even a cure!
        But then I realised "Boys don't cry" and "Why can't I be you?"
        🙂

        You talk sense Nabil I know(not like me) the uncertainty of players starting is annoying!

          wow, no wonder they're so legendary 😀

          Hits - Close to me...

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years

      I'd probably go Revelliere over Wolly. Stk have a few injuries. Boyd is not worth a hit imo.

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Even for a -2 scenario?
        Already have Panti btw.

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah even with Panti.

          Regards Boyd I see your point but can you afford any more for that position?

    Better than 75% chance than Bellerin starts this weekend? Looking to bring him in but need him to play

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      wait for the presser

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He should start

      Wenger will not make anyone a scapegoat for their midweek performance

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

      I think he is a player that you shouldn't get rid of him you have him, but you shouldn't get him if you don't.

      Gayle to match?

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe, you never know

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Gayle injured and has no choice but to play. imagine how bad Windies would be without him. Vying for wooden spoon with England!

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

            Gayle has been shite for 2 years until his last game. They win an okay number of matches

            1. Eze Really?
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              You should have watched their woeful displays in SA.

    Anyone still own Downing?

    1. Billy Gilmore

      lol

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I bought him for the week and will rotate with Walters until I have the FT's to upgrade to Hazard.

      I grew up watching Ambrose Walsh Lara - they don't concede 400+ in ODI.

    Another poor show for Giroud and off you go.

    Can't wait to welcome back Austin.
