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.

    Austin in for Defoe -4? Would replace Mane in the starting line up if I did it?

    1. Harvey Specter
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I did the same thing, if that helps you decide 🙂

    What's this about the Spurs game being postponed?

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

      Tube strike.

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

        Would be pretty funny.

      2. Just A Wooden Spoon
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Ooh that's my line I never even knew about that!

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

        Zero-tolerance is a pretty clear guideline.

      2. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Ridiculous strike

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        As we're in the 21st century and the billions of £ of fares that must be collected on the tube, you'd have thought they'd have replaced the drivers with robots long before now.

    Evening boys. I'm chasing a 40 point lead this game week and I'm looking to make up ground this week as I am every other.

    Main differentials:

    RIVAL: Puncheon - Cazorla
    MINE: Silva - Sterling

    Now we've both got Kane + Eriksen. Do I do Giroud ➡ Austin for a hit. Or just play safe and hope my differentials trump his.

    Thoughts?

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

      All here would say play safe
      For me (do it)

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

      I'd stick. 40 points is very doable without losing form strikers.

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

      I'm in the same boat. Going to play safe.

  4. Kerz
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Chance of Alexis being rested?

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

      I think he'll be relaxed.

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

    Bottom paged. How unreal.

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

    Any thoughts?!

    Repost, would appreciate any thoughts:

    1) Bench one of Clyne, Terry or ADM
    2) Captain one of Aguero, Eriksen or Austin

    Panti
    Terry / Clyne / Rose*
    Eriksen* (vc) / ADM / Silva / Ozil
    Aguero (c) / Giroud / Austin

    4.0; Bellerin / Mahrez / Bruce

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

      You can't bench any more defenders?

      Captain Aguero.

      BUY KANE.

    2. 99problems
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      1) Terry
      2) Eriksen

    3. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No Kane might destroy your season!

    4. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      What possible benefit is there in not owning Kane this week?

    5. Doolittle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Got to echo the others. Don't be stubborn, get Kane.

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        It actually gets on my nerves. Don't come on to an FPL advice site if you're going to be obtusely stupid in your decisions.

        1. Mind över Mata
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Playing in a keeper league, someone has Kane so I can't choose him

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

            Ahh, you need to be clearer about that or you'll invoke the wrath of people like 1966 😉

  7. 99problems
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Foster
    Rose, Bellerin, Clyne
    Hazard, Silva, Eriksen, Coutinho
    Austin, Aguero, Kane (c)
    Subs: Terry, PVA, Phillips

    Good to go?

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

      you already know you are

      1. 99problems
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers! contemplating terry > kosc to free up funds

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

      Tempted to play Phillips?

  8. Slash
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Silva or Cout?

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

      Both are good picks. Coutinho gives extra 2m

    2. 99problems
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Silva

  9. HuttonDressedasLahm

    Adam Johnson on my bench 🙁

      Lock up your daughters!

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm

        She's two 😉

        1. Ser Football 42

        It's awful, but this made me laugh a lot:

  10. ♤TeddyBear♤

    Eriksen captain over kane anyone?

    Or am i chasing a disaster here...

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

      Chasing victory

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

      I'd say u are:)

    3. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      It's never good to outsmart ourselves 😉 Go with Kane.

      1. ♤TeddyBear♤
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Everyone is going to captain kane though :/

        Cheers guys will probably go with kane and regret this hahaa

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

    Forster (Hamer)
    Terry, Clyne, Dawson (Hutton, Vergini)
    Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Cazorla (Boyd)
    Aguero, Giroud, Kane

    1FT, 0.5 in bank

    Cazorla -> Eriksen seems the obvious transfer? Something holding me back though. Please convince me.

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

      Sanchez to Eriksen instead?

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

        It's more the Eriksen in than the Cazorla out that I'm hesitating on!

    2. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Contemplating the same and can't seem to press the transfer button just yet!

  12. d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Should i start Toby A tonight? Anyone think he will get the dreaded cameo? Need 90 or nothing ideally

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He'll come off the bench IMO

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

      Check the lineups, then act accordingly.

      Whos your backup ?

          Quit your job

            • Has Moderation Rights
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Of course, why didnt i think of that!

      We see the teamsheets.

  13. Richd

    If Bradford v Reading is called off. How will this affect your Saturday lunchtime plans?!??!

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years

      I'll have a salad instead of a burger

  14. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling or Ozil ?

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

      Coutinho

  15. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Cazorla to Silva worth a hit???

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

      You will whinge either way right ?

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

      Yes.

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

      Don't think Silva will score as much if City continues with 4-4-2 (which is pretty likely with Bony and Dzeko in contention)

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He is in form

  16. Cubillas
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Will Alderweireld play today?

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

      Check the line ups at 18:46

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

    A - Trippier to Rose
    B - Giroud to Austin

    The final vote before I decide?

    My defence is cack, but my rival has stone cold.

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      B. Atleast you get nailed player for 180mins.

      1. foley_fd

        Thanks

  18. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    All set for big gw after last gw utter disapointment.

    -4p hit taken

    Pants
    Rose-Kos-Clyne (Zouma,Pva)
    Hazard-Sanchez-Mane-Eriksen (Moses)
    Austin-Aguero-Kane

    4.5 itb for Mane replacement.

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

    "Yes"

    "No"

    "Check the lineups before the deadline"

    "Kane"

    The template answers

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years

      "Not for a hit"

  20. La vida FPL

    Sterling or Silva..?

    GO

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years

      Silva

  21. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    any news on Walker/Spurs yet? Can't afford Vert and think there's a decent chance (50%+?) that Davies will get the Swansea game -so don't really want Rose.

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

      Avoid?

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Could do...and just get Bertrand....but that seems a bit dull...esp as i can see SOT conceding tonight and next week.

  22. Zombie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Hey guys, I hope this message gets through (been travelling in some crazy places and got internet after 4 days)

    I have Kane as my only DGW player. Want Eriksen but Mane -> Eriksen too much by 1m. 1 FT

    a) Giroud + Mane -> Austin + Eriksen (-4)
    b) Aguero + Mane -> Austin + Eriksen (-4)
    c) Silva + Mane -> Coutinho + Eriksen (-4, already have Sterling)
    d) Silva -> Eriksen for free (Don't get Austin)

    1. Mak_Gold
        9 years, 2 months ago

        A all the way.

      • SPorting
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I wouldn't do any but A seems your best bet.

      • S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        A

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

        Tough one
        A imo

      • Zombie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks all. Been leaning towards A myself but don't want to lose Giroud at all

    2. Mak_Gold
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Can't make up my mind whether to sell Sanchez or Cazorla for Eriksen (-4). If I sell Sanchez it gives me some cash to sell the useless Ameobi next week to cover for Eriksen who is away to Man United. Any help? Thanks in advance.

        The proposed Tube strike doesn't start until 9.30pm on Saturday - so absolutely no chance of it affecting the QPR v Spurs game earlier in the afternoon. More likely to be postponed due to aliens landing on the pitch!

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

          Or earthquake...

      • liberalfamilia
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        currently on Kane, Aguero, and Giroud.

        if i'm chasing the lead, should i stick with it or use my 1FT to do Giroud > Austin?

        1. dino412
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I would do the Transfer to get Austin in with his 2 home games.

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

          Do it for me

      • Samian
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Wollscheid --> Rose for a 1 week DGW punt? It's a free transfer

        would make...

        Foster
        Terry / Clyne / Rose
        Hazard / Eriksen / Puncheon / Sanchez
        Kane (C) / Aguero / Giroud

        Bench of Myhill / Bellerin / PvA / Boyd

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

          Pva→rose ?

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

            Not enough money, Wollscheid has been playing really well but for a 1 week punt to Rose for his DGW seems to make sense

      • La vida FPL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        A) Keep Rooney
