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.

The Hangout

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

    What would you do? Please help.

    1) Giroud to Austin
    2) PVA to Rose

    Or both for -4?

    Cheers

        Depending on the rest of your defence, of course...

  2. @FPLStrategist

    Am I mad to do Benteke (vs WBA) to Austin for a hit?

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

      😯

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

      Nah

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

      Anything involving shipping Benteke is sane.

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Mad not to do it.
      Why on earth do you have Benteke?

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

      I'd do it.

    6. thehut
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I would get rid of Benteke for a -12 never mind a -4!!

    7. Wingate
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      DO IT

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

    Why do people have Benteke?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Look up.
      What a weird pick.

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      They've been in suspended animation for 24 months?

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

      Because we need them to improve our ranking

    4. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Because they're bad at fantasy... Simpless 🙂

      1. @FPLStrategist
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I'm pretty ok at FPL 😉

        Also, it was a little punt.

    5. Holmes

      Sherwood magic!

      1. Lucy.

        Where? 😉

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Sherwood created the HurriKane 🙂 . Now he will revive the Bentekers #logic 😉

  4. Wingate
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Tempted by SANCHEZ to STERLING for free,

    Got Eriksen and Kane is all I want this GW, and the extra $$$ would come in handy!

    Plus.... FORM FORM FORM right?

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

      Have you watched Sterling recently? He's been picking up lucky points all over the place. Hardly 'FORM FORM FORM'. Now if he gets moved out of that centre forward position into something more natural, THEN I'm tempted. All depends on Sturridge fitness/starts.

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

        But results is results is results!? and Sanchez aint getting them.... I guess Ill wait seeing as Alexis has QPR this week.... but if he blanks and Sterling doesnt then ill have to pull that trigger I think, right?

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

          Yeah but when you're not deserving of the points, the luck can dry up very very quickly. I'd rather have a player who is playing well but getting unlikely, than one that has merely benefited from his team mates' skill.

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

            *unlucky, even.

  5. Fancy Feet
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Who to sell Santi or Sanchez? For Eriksen

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

      I did Santi to Eriksen this week,

      But also Considering Sanchez to Sterling this week or next week if he doesnt find some form!

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

      Sanchez

  6. GRM 23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Pick 3:

    Terry (whu)
    Dawson (avl)
    Koscielny (qpr)
    Clyne (CRY)

    Thanks

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

      See below
      I'm benching Lescott

      Sherwood has to go for it at home to their local rivals

    2. Lucy.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Koscielny, Clyne and ... yeah I'm in the same situation Terry vs Lescott...

      1. GRM 23
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        cheers both...struggling! Good point about the local derby though

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

    Ok changed my mind.....

    Pantilli (Krul)
    Clyne Pieters Bellerin (Lescott PVA)

    1. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Why Pieters over Lescott?

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

        Looked at stats
        And feel Villa may go for it at home

  8. Pellegrini Falcon
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Pant
    Bellerin Terry Fonte
    Silva Sanchez Hazard Coutinho
    Kun Kane Giroud

    Mannone Moses PvA Naughton

    Giroud to austin, and sanchez to eriksen for free?

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

      Yesssssss

  9. Ross Geller
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else with their entire defence tonight? Panti, Clyne, Bertrand and C.Dawson for me. Nervous 90 minutes for me tonight 🙁

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

      Mine. Hutton instead of Dawson

  10. @FuzzyWarbles
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Rose, Vertonghen, Walker - who is likeliest to start both?

    1. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      vert for me

    2. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Vert. But not worth the price imo

      1. Boyd to Sven
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        This. For the price I went for Rose as I wouldn't want Vert in long term but don't mind Rose as a rotation option.

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

      Vert. Pricey though.

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

      Can I tell u who is unlikely to start?

      I just want to save some time on typing

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

        Yup Plz tell about Rose
        Whats your inputs for him?

    5. @FuzzyWarbles
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      cheers all

  11. 50 Shades Oshea
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    pick one to play or take -4 to bring vert...

    A) vlaar
    or
    B) pva

    thanks

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Vlaar

      1. 50 Shades Oshea
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        thanks, tempted by vert for pva got the funds but already taken -4 hit

  12. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 2 months ago

    A 2 goal Kun would get you 26 points if he gets all 3 baps. A hattrick for Kun would get you 34 points. 1 goal for Kane in each match plus maximum baps would get you 36 points.

    The probablility of Aguero scoring 2 or 3 in 90 mins is much lower than Kane scoring once in each game and getting 4-6 baps in total. Food for thought.

    Realistically speaking, I think most expect Kane to deliver 2 goals and 1 assist as a minimum over the 180 mins.

    1. Pellegrini Falcon
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      As a City fan, I won't be surprised if the game turns out to be a tight 1-0, as is often the case when City play newly promoted sides.

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

      All this doesnt make sense. 2 goals and 1 assist for Kane isnt granted nor is Kun's hattrick. Kane can easily end up with 4pts and so can Kun.
      Would be surprise if Kane play anything close to 150mins.

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

        I didn't say granted. What I meant is that a very normal and probable scenario for Kane (a goal in each match. He has been that consistent this season) can easily outscore a very improbable scenario for Kun which is getting a hattrick. Of course anything can happen though.

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm

      *Leaves armband on Kane

      **Logs off

    @Lucy

    Is Mane going to come good tonight? I was expecting big things after ACON!!

    I haven't seen much Southampton, why can't they score?

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

      It's not really Mané's fault - it's been a team failure.

      Because we're pathetic? 😀

      We've struggled to create in Bertrand's absence - lack of width. It improved last week when he returned but then Pelle missed a couple of great opportunities.

      I wouldn't count on him coming good but Palace aren't the defensive force that WBA are so there is a possibility. I wouldn't want any Saints attackers at the moment.

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

        I was hoping you were going to fill me with confidence 🙁

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

          I'm very disillusioned 😛

  14. FPL FREAK
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Pick 3 to play:

    1. Clichy (Home to leicester)
    2. Bellerin (Away to QPR)
    3. Jones (Away to New castle)
    4. Yoshida (Home to Crystal palace)
    5. Bruce (Home to sunderland)

    Rest of the team:
    Foster
    ? ? ?
    Eriksen. Silva. Sanchez. Fab.
    Kane(c). Austin. Aguero(vc).

    1. Hank Scorpio
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Clichy, Yoshida, Bellerin

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

        Yoshida unlikely to play though, it is worth noting.

    2. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      1,2,4 with5 being your first sub... dont rate jones or man u

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

        I don't.

        1. Hank Scorpio
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Any reasoning? (Other than recent team selections).

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

      ADM. Tipping Walcott to start.

    1. Hank Scorpio

      B otherwise you could easily be much further behind.

      Punt on other things, it is still too early to gamble wildly......plenty of time to catch up.

  19. Mak_Gold

      If PVA starts, double up with Panti or spread the risk with Dawson?

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

        I'd have Dawson regardless. Pulis loves a CS. 8 in his last 10.

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

          Or WBA's last 10. Either way. POINTS.

        Pantilimon (Juko)
        Clyne - Wollscheid -Ivanovic (Haidara, N.Taylor)
        Sanchez - Mane - Hazard - Walters(Shelvey)

        Defensive selection headache here.

        Two of:

        Terry (wha)
        Clyne (CPL)
        Bellerin (qpr)
        Dawson (avl)

        Already starting Rose. Currently leaning towards Terry and Bellerin. Any suggestions?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

        Hi Guys which sounds best?
        1)Di Maria-->Ozil(-4)
        2)PVA-->Rose(-4) If PVA not in starting lineup and bench Di Maria
        3)Play Di Maria and risk getting only 1 pt
        4)Play Puncheon(sot)

          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I'm finding it so boring.

          2FT brings in Austin and Eriksen to join Kane. Then pop the armband on Kane and watch everyone else -4 their team into the ground..

          1. Sterling Chap
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Agree. Although I've only got Eriksen and Kane only and I'm considering giving the armband to Kun.

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

        at 19:31 tonight I am going to be contemplating Trippier replacements for up to a maximum of 5.9 mill.

        Any thoughts?!
