The ScoutCast – Episode 157 – Hipsters

Three middle-aged beards collide to talk Fantasy Football. Hipsters? Sadly, as Jonty so rightly points out, we bear a closer resemblance to a trio of David Brents.

A clean-shaven Ryan joins us to complete the quartet and boost the credibility: the Kiwi contributor wakes fresh and ready for action to mull over the Gameweek gone, the week’s transfer bandwagons and to look forward to the weekend’s action.

Around those regulars, we brace ourselves for the latest bout of quizzing from you, the community. We tackle the potential of the Palace form guys and the unlikely contribution from Hull and Leicester, as we cast an early eye on the looming double Gameweek.

The ScoutCast was beamed out live on Wednesday via a Google Hangout and you can view the full video recording on the player below.

Alternatively, for the polished, low-fat audio version can be found via this link or the first player.

Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel and Google Plus page to keep informed of when future ScoutCast hit the screen.

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

    My goalkeeper is Davis.

    Who to bench out of: Wollscheid, Fonte, Bertrand and Lescott?

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Wollscheid

    2. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Wollscheid, IMO.

      1. Zasa
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Meant Lescott. Don't see a cleanie vs Palace attack.

    3. Sparrer

      What the others said.

      Hmm. Depends how confident you are of a Southampton CS. A triple up seems a lot. If you are confident, bench Lescott. If not, bench Fonte

    5. Grumpy Camel

      lescott

    Great work on the Scoutcast Ryan.

    You mixed it well with the Bearded Hipster Clan.

    All the best with the rest of your season ... fingers crossed for a top 1k finish mate.

        Enjoyed it too. Good insight. I got up in the middle of the night and sold Giroud and put Sanchez (back) in. Rolls. Eyes.

    How many of you guys know each other offline? Seems like a real community here in the DZ. Most of you are in Aus/NZ? There must be a fair few based in Asia too. Vietnam here.

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      All over the place. Get a few from North America as well in the early DZ and the Indian contingent arrive in the late DZ.

      I'm isolated out here in Los Angeles, but please don't hold it against me.

        I feel a little isolated out here in Central Auckland too.

      Probably the only one in South America here 😎 Chile, am American though.
      Don't know anyone offline.

      1. Diva
        • 9 Years

        I thought there was two or three of you from Chile?

        1. Zasa
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 23 days ago

          Aye, pretty sure RuberX is Chilean but lives in the US. Can't think of anyone else though 🙁

          1. Diva
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 23 days ago

            Was Rickardinho from Chile?

            1. Zasa
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 23 days ago

              Don't think so, would've remembered if so. Think he was from Asia somewhere?

              1. Diva
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 23 days ago

                You maybe right, I don't know.

        What you doin' down in Chile? I'm American as well. Studied in Ecuador for a semester, and such things. Interesting to me your location.

        1. Zasa
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 23 days ago

          Came here a year ago mate, have family down here. Flying solo when I get back this year, and can't wait. Where in America are you from? If you come down here, I'd highly recommend visiting Valdivia and Valparaiso it's breathtaking. Whatever you do, don't go to the North!

          1. The Enlightener
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 23 days ago

            I'm from Ohio originally. In college, which was a fair time ago now (mid-to-late 1990s), I studied abroad in Spain and Ecuador. Hit up Peru while down in S. America. The scenery down there in the Andes and along the Pacific coast, at least from what I saw, was amazing indeed. I've long wished to visit Chile, as I picture it to be a beautiful country with some good people on the whole. Have a friend in Peru who I'm really thinking about trying to link up with to get back down there, if not for a little bit at least. I'm familiar with Valparaiso, Chile. I do some travel-related work on the side, and from what I gather, it's probably the best city to visit in the country. One of them, for sure. Where you headed when you return to the States? Cali or something like that?

            1. Zasa
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 23 days ago

              Cool man, I'm sure Ecuador has it's fair share of gems, Quito always looked like vibrant city to visit. Yeah the Andes is gorgeous, definitely one of the highlights of Chile is how narrow of a country it is. You have the pacific ocean practically next door to the Andes, makes for a great road trip if you get the chance. Yeah, Valparaiso is very touristy, it's safe and you can never run out of things to do down there.

              I'm finishing my sophomore year actually, transferred into a college in nyc.

              1. The Enlightener
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 23 days ago

                Yeah, I loved Ecuador. So much packed into such a small country. I was studying in Guayaquil. Not as lovely as Quito in terms of setting and such, but I liked it anyways. Hot and busy and all that. One of the things that Chile tempts me with is just what you said....that narrowness that brings the mountains so close to the sea. Enjoy your travels, man, not to mention your overall options and opportunities. I think I'll always find it hard to settle, because there is always an interesting and alluring horizon out there that I have yet to experience. And not getting to experience everything leaves me unhappy. Well, not everything. There are some things/experiences that I can do without.

      South East Asia here. i know one poster personally (went to the same Uni) - Cruizer van Nistelrooy. But he rarely posts nowadays.

      Know none of these people off line but my time zone in Koh Samui coincides with later in the day of Oz/NZ and just a little ahead of India/ Pakistan, some US too

      Good advice, reasoned responses and the ability to be able to dis agree in a civil way

        By the way, agree on the DZ, at least when there is no unfathomable chat on the cricket or whatever... !

        I've had a look a few times when the UK is awake and .... nah .... not for me!

      9 years, 23 days ago

      I be in Ohio, USA. Have moved all around, sometimes to foreign lands, but this is where I was born and bred, if you will. Am back in my homeland for almost two years now, but not sure why, as I don't tend to feel like I belong anywhere exactly. Or perhaps better said, I wish I could be everywhere at once. It's an odd thing. Anyways, I don't know anyone here offline.

      Tempe, Arizona

      Don't know anybody offline, but my evening banter puts me square in the middle of the DZ. Can't handle the daytime flurry. One comment, no response, on to the next page. No discussions. No thoughtful replies, or three pages have flown by.

      1. bigbudgie
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Right. Anyone know why they don't use a regular forum instead of comments on articles. Seems a bit bizarre. A proper forum would cut out a lot of the garbage too

                      You'll have to get out of your group first, it looks like that's difficult enough for you guys 😆

        hey there Zan.

  7. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Random question in a slow deadzone.

    How important is someone's grav to how you perceive them on here?

    For example I went with a paranoid and depressed android with the brain the size of a planet, which I felt reflected me well (apart from the paranoid and depressed parts)

    Has anyone changed their grav and you feel differently about them or is it more about first impressions?

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      I changed my grav once and felt really dirty and cheap ... so changed it back.

    2. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Place a huge amount of weight into the grav. For example, if you have a grav of Bono, I probably will like you less than if your grav is anything besides a grav of Bono 😀

      1. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Lol

        1. Amateur Pundit Zan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 23 days ago

          That's what triggered my thought

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Feel free to hate me Walsh 😀

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      For example looking above, I instinctively like Sab more and nabil a little less (sorry) based on their tournament gravs

    4. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      This is a good question. I have recently changed my grav and its freaking me out.

      For some reason the caricature ones freak me out. Think there is a Wenger one somewhere.

      In response to your question, in general no but some do stand out. There is a Super Hanz one that make me smile every time

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        And up above, a Bottom grav, already like the man!

          1. Diva
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 23 days ago

            I wouldn't want to tell a guy to change his grav, but I do find yours a little unnerving. 😀

                Haha sorry lads.

                How do you change it again? It's been so long haha

                  Don't change it on our account. It is how I remember who you are. Just because you look like something out of a twisted French horror film is irrelevant.

                      9 years, 23 days ago

                      Doesn't every French film have an element of twisted horror to it? I don't know, maybe just the ones I've watched....

        Havent seen the token buxom wench in bikini grav for a long time ... i don't miss them, or maybe i do?

        Rukawa had the best grav!

      Just my story.

      I started posting with the "flying Bergkamp" grav. But then I realized that another poster is using the same grav, and he's apparently the more familiar guy around this part, especially during Matchday. So I changed it to another Bergkamp image that suits well with my association with Team Netherlands in previous tourneys.

      tbh I still think the old grav suits me best. Plus some other posters like NTFM said the older one is better.I will probably revert back to it after this Cricket tourney.

      I generally keep my grav more or less the same. It would seem wrong to change it. I do view peopl based upon their grav's I think. I didn't like Muppet when he changed his.

      Gravs do affect the way I view other posters. But not as much as their words/personalities. I mean, after you read enough posts from a few certain guys in particular, who I am this close to naming but won't, you get some insight into the fact that they are pretty much huge a$$holes.

            I often wonder if I should bring back my original Jack Lambert grav. The one with the pissed-off looking linebacker with his two front teeth missing. I just started to wonder if it was appropriate to have an NFL dude's image on a non-American football site.

      Grav shows Rik Mayall, the man, the legend, in the comedy I grew up with, Bottom. If you knew the man, I highly recommend this tribute shown on British TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LntmKbuqhvM

          Had started with an Everton Blue colored kiwi, but then decided it needed some cricket flair, so I included a picture of Martin Crowe. Seemed like a good choice to dedicate our efforts to.

          Now you can't tell that it's a kiwi fruit in the background, though. :/

  10. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Okay which one is the best punt here?

    A. Baines
    B. Coleman
    C. Dann

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Gotta be one of the Everton boys I guess. Dann is a great shout this week but I'd say Everton are more likely for the cleanie.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        You're probably right. BUR haven't scored in the last 3. Leaning towards Coleman actually.

        But Dann is a massive, massive differential. Team Eire might need him anyway. 😉

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 23 days ago

          Team Eire needs more than a Crystal Palace defender to save them! 😉

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 23 days ago

            They are in trouble to be sure they need to collect up their lucky charms and find some shamrocks to be sure.

    2. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      C's the real fun one here, great threat from SP's.
      Yet A has a great chance for a cleanie, A is more sensible IMO.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        yeah A is sensible, plus he's still the same BAP magnet. but I don;t feel Baines this season

    3. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      A. I'm fairly confident Baines is still on pens. You can't miss one penalty from 17 (or so?) and lose the duties to Rom. It must have been a one off.

      He's also created many chances over the last few weeks and is on set pieces.

    4. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      I've cooled off Baines. Realized my midfield is too light this GW with Eriksen-Mane-Hazard if i went Baines and a 4-3-3...so going to do Sanchez>Silva instead of Naughton to Baines.

      But would do Baines if i have a solid midfield 4.

  11. Kurtinho
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Team in a bit of a mess..

    Krul
    Terry - Vert - Alder
    Hazard - Eriksen - Mane - Mahrez
    Aguero - Remy - Kane

    Panti; Dawson, PvA, Sanchez
    3.0ITB + 2FT (No Wildcard)

    Plan to get Skrtel, Hendo and Sterling in for Vert, Erik and Mane next week. But what should I focus on this week lads?

    Cheers 😀

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      hhmm since you have no WC,

      Panti -> Davis/Kasper (unless you intedn to keep him untilDGW37)
      or
      Dawson -> Dann/Schlupp and bench Vert or Mahrez

      1. Kurtinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        May as well keep Panti for GW37, I don't like making keeper transfers unless I'm forced to. Dawson to Schlupp has crossed my mind 🙂 tempted by Sanchez to Silva too but I know I'll want him back in a few weeks.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 23 days ago

          Sanchez to Silva is good too. Silva will run riot imo, and i don't think Sanchez is worth 11.3 anymore

      2. Rossamous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        I would get Huth if you can afford instead of Schlupp. He has scored recently, is a better threat in set pieces, a CBI contender in the event of s CE, but is only 0.2 more expensive. And nobody will have him

        1. Rossamous

          • 11 Years
          9 years, 23 days ago

          Fair point. But Schlupp has that attacking threat as well. Could go either way.

          1. Rossamous
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 23 days ago

            True. But why go with the masses at this point of the year, unless there was a narrow gap in standings somewhere?

    2. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Sanchez > Fab. roll the other to next week to do the said transfers for -4.

              Well, to go more directly to your question on the player, I'm not sure there is any way that any of us will know how much game time he is going to get in the next 3 matches. For me personally, I'm sorry I brought him in before last gameweek. Looking back on it now, I wish I had gone with Fabregas instead (already have Ivan and Hazard.)

              1. HellasLEAF
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 23 days ago

                yes next 3 nobody can predict.

                but this gw, I think it's reasonable to have some idea.

                definitely it myself, talk about going on a whim.

                  Even this GW, who knows? I couldn't understand that last half of your post, but for what it's worth, I'm feeling far too much iffiness with Remy at the moment. I may end up holding onto him for this GW and the double, but I'm not sure how much I'm going to like it.

      I, myself, expected a more brutish figure. Based off the whole rugby thing and how one day he was labeling NFL players as soft, lol.

        You don't need to be a brutish fella to be able to play both Rugby or American football. In fact speed and agility are just as important.

          Weird how someone "paints a picture" in their mind on here looking at Gravatar's....was nice to put a face to you and Evs(a while ago) on scoutcast.

          I think it is mathematically possible but yes whichever side loses that match will find it very tough.

              We beat Ireland last week but lost to a strong South Africa side in the first week so currently sitting 4th. This week will be tough next week is DGW so who knows what happens there. It could very easily come down to us and you in the last match to go through. Hopefully not of course.

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 23 days ago

          Yeah its still going. Its a pretty crap theme park tbh, after going to the ones over in Gold Coast you'd never go back to Rainbows End. That corkscrew is as tame as it gets, come on Champ 😉 There was a new ride put in last year which is pretty cool 🙂

    Evening DZ.

    Just on a Vikings season 3 marathon and thought I'd stop by.

    How's everyone?

    SJ- long time buddy, ready for the NBA playoffs this weekend?

    1. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Vikings from History channel, eh? I can't get into that. Seems a bit overdone. Overacted. Overstaged. Over-everything. And, I can't really buy into the pretty blonde doubling as a vicious, bloody warrior. But, that's just me. For all I know if I gave it a chance, I might get into it. Anyways, Go Lebron and the gang. ( Ohio boy/Cavs fan here, and I'm sure they'll find a way to blow it 🙂 )

      ready to go! can't wait

  20. tyron
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    hey guys serious enquiry. so i am currently in a money league leading by only 3 points. i am also the only guy in the top 5 with no palace cover gw 33. i have nugent aguero kane silva hazard fab sigg rose terry jag and davis in goal. i took a -4 already. and the second place and third place people also took a -4. should i take a -8 to get rid of sigg for palace cover or is it not worth it?

    1. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      My first thought is to say that no, another hit wouldn't be worth it just to get in a Palace player, who would have to be a mid. That being said, Puncheon or Bolasie are tempting. Just would be a fairly big roll of the dice, and one that I'm not sure is necessary.

      1. tyron
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        hmmm true.. after all sigg isnt so bad after all can get a freekick or assist after all.. just with emnes in attack now im demotivated but we would see how it goes. to hope for west brom to shut palace down at home is a big ask from me. but Pulis knows this palace team so we'll see. ill just have to hope for the best.. cant afford to lose first place at this stage of the season sigh. any cap suggestions. im thinking aguero kane or hazard. kane cuz i think he is due against a makeshift newcastle defense. but aguero at home vs a leaking west ham is also tempting. and hazard just seems to be the man in these games. so idk

        1. The Enlightener
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 23 days ago

          I'm between Aguero and Kane for the captains pick. (I don't have Aguero currently, but will likely be getting him in. Just going to think about it more and make sure no weird injury thing pops up before I make the transfer.) If you forced me to choose between Aguero and Kane for this GW armband, I think that right now at this moment, I would say Kane.

          1. The Enlightener
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 23 days ago

            No, wait....Aguero. 🙂 Tough one that.

            1. tyron
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 23 days ago

              im currently on Kane may change to aguero or even silva becomes an option. really tough this. I am under a lot of pressure

    1. Holmes
