The ScoutCast Hangout – Gameweek 28

Last night we got together for another ScoutCast in Google Hangout mode and with the quick turnaround for the Gameweek deadline this evening, we’d thought we’d get this published for you today. That means there is no edited MP3 version for you this week – instead, if you want to listen to Granville and myself, you’ll need to keep your eyes from the screen, open a new window over the top or be hypnotised by our beardy, swarthy looks.

It’s not only Granville and I that you’ll need to avoid. Jonty is back with us again, rolling out his best Santi Cazorla impression, while Green Windmill (aka Andrew Gibson) is also in the house, looking down on us all from his 115th FPL rank position.

We’re going to endeavour to keep this coming on a Monday evening at 10pm. Although next week’s is already in doubt because Granville is globetrotting in Spain on a stag do (yes, I think he’s surely too old for that kind of thing, too).

We’ll keep you posted on whether we’re still on target for Monday night or if we shift to Tuesday – we may even take on the ScoutCast without dear old Granville – we’ve lining up Dufflinks (aka Simon March), the FPL number one ranked player, to compensate.

Subscribe to our You Tube channel to get prior warning and look out for the dedicated Hot Topic on Monday.

    Metro - 'Arsenal are ready to let Per Mertesacker leave in the summer. Arsenal are set to ditch under-fire defender Per Mertesacker at the end of the season, according to reports.'

      Reading about football in the Metro is like reading about economics in Hello.

        🙂

    2. Klopp's Kids

      Offloading Podolski and Mertesacker will be good moves.

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I think nobody wants them

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm

      Made up

  2. Ser Football 42

    For just this GW.

    A) Lloris and Walker

    B) Forster and Vertonghen

    Only have Kane and Zamora at the moment as a DGW players

    1. bring back diop
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A

  3. Klopp's Kids

    9 years, 2 months ago

    Be interesting to see how Liverpool line-up:

    Lallana worked his socks off last game so he may get a rest.
    He's also been playing a lot of football lately.

    Sterling could be dropped for Sturridge too because Lallana/Coutinho played better than him.
    BR may even try him at RM to teach him a lesson.

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

      I think a straight swap of Sterling(who played 120min Thurs) for Sturridge

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I'd say so too! Wouldn't mind that to be honest.

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

          Yeah it wouldn't upset thing too much only on here 🙂

    2. Le Limpar

      I thought Sterling was excellent vs. City. He's finally assumed the role of orchestrating attacks, in the absence of Suarez. I think he's first name on the team sheet for them.

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Markovic/Sterling got bad reviews in general from Liverpool fans.
        I'd say Sterling played well defensively towards the end but overall a bit mediocre.

        1. Le Limpar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Pearls before swine 😉

          Nah, he's a bit frustrating at times, like Walcott for us a little bit - but overall the danger he causes far outweighs the occasional bad decison/touch.

          1. Klopp's Kids
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Fair enough. Maybe Sturridge won't even start.

  4. JaydenLFC87

    Is Mane > Ozil -4 a good transfer????

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nope. Not for a -4.

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Not for free

    2. Santi sensei
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      What if Ozil gets rested ? 😯

    3. boc610
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ozil is not playing well.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Disagree.

      2. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Lol

        1. boc610
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          arsenal fans have really set the bar low with this guy. He cost 40million, 32 more than Coutinho. He drifts out of games for such long periods, as he did against Everton.

          1. Bolt-on
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            So does coutinho though no matter the price

      3. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Ban

  5. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Do you think Jonty looks like Rafa Benitez as well? 😀 😀

    Eriksen has yet to blank 4 GWs in a row. Surely he is due?

    1. Nolberto Solano
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      All he needs is one free-kick...

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Oh dear. It's like tossing a coin isn't it? Head, head, head doesn't make tails any more likely on the next toss.

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Probability and Statistics are not synonymous

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years

      If only things were that simple

    4. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'm expecting him to outscore Kane 🙂

    BOOM!

    Premier League news conferences

    Football

    Posted at 14:24

    Two more Premier League managers have faced the media ahead of their side's matches on Wednesday.

    Stand by to hear what Newcastle boss John Carver and Tottenham counterpart Mauricio Pochettino had to say...

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

      Bring it on!

    2. Le Limpar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      "Kane has been given a stay of leave for some recuperation time with his auntie on the Isle of Dogs"

    3. Ser Football 42
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      So we will get a Spurs preaser soon?

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

        Yes!

        1. Ser Football 42
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Lovely! Will hold off on my FT until then

      2. Ser Football 42
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Any news on what time they will be held at?

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

          Sounds like it's already happened - just waiting for it to be reported. Won't be later than 3.30. I wouldn't have thought.

          1. Ser Football 42
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Ah gotcha. Hopefully we hear within the hour

  8. Laserface
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    ospina or foster ?

  9. sminkypinky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Vert (c) too risky? No dgw attacking players ( draft league).

    Or just go with Haz/Costa?

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I like it ahead of the Chelsea boys tbh

    2. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I don't think it's too risky. It is risky, though. But, could really come off for ya. A clean sheet or two and maybe some attacking or bonus points. Could really end up lovely.

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

        Cheers guys!! Will try it out. Fingers crossed.

    Come on Poch, tell us your line ups for tomorrow and Saturday.

  11. moey211
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    This team look solid?

    Gk: FOrster(Ospina)
    Def: Bellerin-Moreno-Terry(Wilson-Van Aanholt)
    Mid:Coutinho-Hazard-Ozil-Eriksen(Walters)
    Att:Kane(c)-Aguero-Cisse

    Any opinions appreciated

  12. Nolberto Solano
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I have treated all my latest transfers perfectly. I can do Austin for Costa next week with 0.1 left itb 😀

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

      And if he gets a yellow this week?

      1. Nolberto Solano
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Then my plans will be in tatters...

        1. HVT
          • 13 Years

          This!

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

    PvA or Jones first sub?

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Jones

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

    Anyone else liking Skrtel this week against Burnley at Anfield?

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nice punt.

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

        I feel in the mood for it!

        Burnley are suspect at corners aren't they?

        1. Gooner97
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          If Smalling scored a brace against them.
          If nothing presses I'd do it but I can't, 0FT.

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

            Had 2 FT and prefer a Liverpool defender to a Spurs one.

            1. Gooner97
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              I went Lloris

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

      Only those (c) Austin!
      Yo go Nomar!
      😆

      terry

      1. Bolt-on

        Thinking him actually

  16. boredjames
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Can't decide on Sanchez to Eriksen for a -4. Someone help me!

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not for -4

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

        yeah. I keep telling myself that

    2. HVT

      50/50 call Mate and it's yours!

  17. RuudVanNistelrooney
    • 10 Years

    Reframed shameful repost:
    Pick three out of :
    A) Lescott
    B) Kosc
    C) Hutton
    D) Terry
    E) Clyne

    thinking of playing hutton/lescott/kosc.......palace have good away form & hammers are strong at home

    Suggestions guys??

    1. MBK 42
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      ADE

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Agree

  18. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Panti
    Zouma Bellerin Bertrand
    Alexis, Santi, Silva, Mane, Haz
    Kun, Kane (C)

    Subs: Defoe, Naughton, PVA

    Santi/Alexis to Eriksen worth it? Alternative is Defoe to Austin, but who would I drop from MF?

  19. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    When will be scoutpick released ?

    1. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years

      Haha do u really need it?

  20. 1966 was a great year for E…
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    GreenWindmill is far too good looking for the live scoutcast. Where are the worry lines, the slightly unkempt beard, the cat hair?

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

      Yeah. He looks a bit like a social worker in a men's refuge. 😉

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…

    2. Optimus.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Jordan Henderson watch out 😉

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

    This really is a funny gw,
    Plenty of Def options, people benching Hazard and the likes, Alexis being sold off and Austin in for hits!

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Austin IN and Sanchez OUT is good moves, not sure abt benching Hazard

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. People dumping Arsenal in particular at an alarming rate, Sanchez due to fall tonight.

      The one I don't get is Rose. Massively the most transferred in defender yet has big rotation risk with Davies. And does anyone really want a Spurs defender afterwards, even with decent fixtures?

  22. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Really can't decide which two to bench......

    Clyne Lescott Bellerin Pieters PVA

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

      Gk?

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Panti probably but considering Krul v Van Gaal

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

          PVA so, and Pieters. (Bell next)

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

      Pieters and Bellerin.

  23. jai1212
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Jones
    Boyd
    PVA

    Which one to play this week?

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Jones

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

      PvA

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

      Gk?

      1. jai1212
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Pantilimon

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

          Jones so, spread risk.

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Boyd

  24. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Play 1:

    A) Puncheon
    B) PVA
    C) Yoshida

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

      A

  25. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Apparently I took an 8 point hit to bring in Eriksen, Vert and Austin

    I have no recollection of this

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

      I may be joining you

  26. Art Vandelay
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Rely on PVA and Cichy for final defender spot or take hit for Vert?

  27. kitkats
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Bearing in mind Sturridge will be starting again soon, do we prefer Sterling or Coutinho over the next 4-5 GW's?

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

      I haven't kept an eye on how Sturridge has changed the formation when he's played

    2. Bolt-on
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not a fantasy fan of continho - have been burnt before

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

        Yep, can't help thinking Sterling is more reliable

  28. PlayPercentage
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    When the dust clears after this GW, the Costa(C) casuals might turn out to be the winners.
    Tha's how DGWs go, sometimes. Be prepared.

      Get rekt

  30. Nanoelektronicar
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    A) Austin and Silva (-4 for Austin, or -8 for both in this gw)
    B) Costa and Mane
    C) Keep Sturridge and Mane
