The ScoutCast – Episode 162 – Smugface

2,257 Comments
Share

I can’t deny it – right now my luck is in. Following on from Sadio Mane’s three-minute explosion of points, I’m finding it hard to mask my “smug face” in this week’s ScoutCast episode. You’re advised to stick to the audio version rather than suffer it in full effect via the Google Hangout recording.

Whilst resisting the temptation to revel in my Gameweek 37 glory, I do my best to invite both Granville and Jonty into the conversation to cycle through the ScoutCast regulars. We also tackle another batch of community questions, as you quiz us on final day punts, our Fantasy Football Scout moment of the season and on the state of the Fantasy Premier League game that we know and love.

This episode was recorded on Wednesday evening (prior to Eden Hazard’s visit from the tooth fairy) and beamed live on Google Hangouts.

As mentioned, if you’re a glutton for punishment, you can view witness my battle to hide my grin via the movie below. Alternatively, you can sample the edited audio version of this episode via this link or the smaller player above it.

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

    Who would you transfer out of Aguero, Benteke, Lukaku for Vardy or Ulloa?

            Figured with 2FT, I can at least take -4 hit.

            Panti*
            Smalling - Terry - Kosc
            Hazard* - Sanchez - Ramsey - Phillips
            Lukaku - Aguero - Benteke

            * might be ship out.

                Need Sanchez to block rival (as most of them would use their FT for Hazard).

                Ramsey is differential now, but I'm not sure he will be rotated or not.

                Any idea Ramsey to who? If I do Hazard > Silva.

    I have a feeling Hull will concede early and end up getting thrashed like qpr did when they needed a win. However, I just don't think I can justify bringing in Mata who has been quite rubbish.

      Manchester United have had such a low appeal this year fantasy wise, away to Hull makes no difference, still not interested.

      Silva, Toure and even Bolasie have more appeal imo.

        Already got Silva. I just think with Hull needing a win it makes a big difference. Usually they'd be playing for a draw and would keep it tight. This time the crowd will be on their backs

          If we get Benteke / Mandzukic - we need to invest on proper winger that can give constant service to both of them.

          Walcott would be the perfect striker for Liverpool.
          From what I've seen of Liverpool the last three years they dont't play through the wings and put crosses in, they like to tear through the middle of the other teams defence using their pace and the through balls of Hendo and Coutinho. That's what Walcott is best at.

    I know its tempting to sell Kane, however he is on penalties and fairly nailed on, plus they playing for europe

    Im seeing plenty taking him out for hits just to bring in players involved in meaningless fixtures who might not even start. Odd behavior imo

      Everything is so chaotic I too uncertain changing a first choice striker. Too many other problems to address.

      I guess those taking hits are safe in ML. And lost hope in existing differentials for making up OR. For those people hits are ok.
      Me, I am tied in my ML going into the last week, ideas about hits are screened by my firewall currently. 🙂

        Think its a good idea lo lose weakest link, there sure to be a few no shows and a strong bench will make all the difference

          Yes. I am worried about my Rams Caz Sanchez because I have Baird and Bruce on my bench. But contemplating Wickham to Lukaku for the potential upside as Spurs defence is looking tasty currently.

            Plus I am not sure which Ars mid to take out. I might just mistakenly take out the starting mid. Have Cambiasso to cover one mid.

      Agree. Kane is a 'guaranteed' starter.

      Why shift someone who will 99% start when so many question marks over others

          Sound move. Think Terry highly owned in 1/10k so will keep you up there plus v good chance of clean sheet and knowing terry a goal.

    Hazard, Sanchez, Cazorla, Grealish
    Aguero, Benteke, Kane

    Schmeichel, Henderson, PvA, McShane

    Not to worried about Hazard, Decent enough cover if he doesn't play.

      So, if I deal with my Gomez problem I should be the same? Sorry to make it about me. Your team looks good. Maybe Hendo instead of Greal o Caz, who may come on as sub.

          I have to imagine chelsea will try to put on a show at the bridge...If WIllian is playing in the hole it could be a sound move. I'm nervous about not having chelsea cover now that I think about it.
