The ScoutCast – Episode 164 – Sheepish

Limping out of the blocks like three flabby Dads at their kids’ Sports Day, Granville, Jonty and myself are in a sheepish mood for the first ScoutCast of the season.

We do our upmost to rouse some enthusiasm for the events of Gameweek 1, buoyed by tales from you, the community and your latest round of finely honed questions, drilling down into the current big dilemmas.

Chelsea and Arsenal’s stuttering start, the strategy surrounding Aguero and Sanchez, plus the top targets ahead of Friday’s 6.45 deadline provide plenty to distract me from the fact that I’d been robbed of a David Silva goal just minutes before coming on air.

This ScoutCast was recorded on Monday evening and went out live via our YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe to our channel to get updates on the next cast if you want to drop in live.

You can relieve the Google Hangout version, warts and all, via the larger movie player below. Or, if you’d prefer the low-fat edited audio version, you’ll need this link or the smaller player below.

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

    1. Super Frank
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      thanks guys...i should take ur advices and just save transfer this week (although i have walcott)

    5. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Have both, both will probably need to go within the next few weeks. Not worth swapping between them.

  2. Super Frank
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Fab > Ayew? (FT and it leaves me with no Chelsea cover)

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Not for me.

      1. Super Frank
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        What about Depay > Ayew?

        1. Walsh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Again, I'd hold.

          1. Super Frank
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Ok, thanks. 😀

  3. Gatsby
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Play : Cedric (Eve h) or Francis (Liv a)

    and

    Chadi (Stk h) or Mahrez (West h a) or Sakho (Leic A)

    Also

    Captain Tekkers or Rooney.

    Cheers havent been on much and could use the advice!

    1. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'd play cedric ans sakho. captain tekkers

      1. Gatsby
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        This is what i was going for, the chadli/mahrez one is killing me.. currently going chadli

    2. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Cedric but a mile. I'd be remiss to bench any of those attackers. I'd rather bench a defender and start two of them. Captain Rooney

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        agree with Walsh, any chance you can squeeze all three mid/att on the pitch?

        1. Gatsby
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          No unfortunately

          mid/att is

          Ozil, Hazard, Mane, Mahrez/Chadli
          Rooney, Tekkers, Sakho

          Headache!

          1. Francescoli
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Good headache to have

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Cedric, Sakho, Benteke

  4. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    g'day dzers,

    has there been much talk of captaining sanchez? good shout against palace away?

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      very risky

    2. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      A very good option for me. I think he's a very good captaincy option this weekend.

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        reassuring that I'm not the only one thinking it could be rewarding.

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sanchez in for Walcott....(C)

  5. Miami Monkey
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    I think I've decided that I'll keep Walcott through the deadline, then sell before price drop (hopefully that's tomorrow not today)

    For a replacement, would you prefer Alexis? Or Silva? Or maybe even Sterling/Yaya (who I hate).

    Alexis will leave me with 0 in the bank after getting Kun. I plan to get Kun for GW4 but if we was gonna rise GW3 I'd have to take a hit to afford.

    Silva gives me some leeway, and could well be a better pick for the next few fixtures as well

    1. Miami Monkey
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Also I already have Ozil

    2. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Alexis

      1. Walsh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        He gives you another captaincy option along with Kun. Silva is tidy, but you'd never cap him over Kun which sways it towards Alexis for me.

      2. Miami Monkey
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I'm thinking my wildcard might be played like GW7, so it would be until then and City have better fixtures and would captain Aguero

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'm afraid Wally will almost definitely drop tonight.......Tomorrow will be after the lord majors show. If you going to do it do it in the next 2 hours otherwise hold and weep if he doesn't;'t start or blanks. Its a poo life being an FPL manager.

      1. Frank Black
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        He's at -97.8%, he's not going to drop tonight.

        1. Miami Monkey
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Can't be 100% accurate yet. It never was last season and the formula has apparently changed a bit

    4. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Alexis Sanchez. So explosive. The best you'll get from Silva is the odd assist and bonus point.

    5. chocolove
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      But you wont have enough clue for walcott replacement as many of the teams play on saturday/sunday after walcott price fall

      1. Miami Monkey
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        that's why I'm asking now

  6. Foot Fighter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Looking to change my Captain away from Rooney. Of Sakho, Pelle and Mane - which of those three would you choose?

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sakho

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I've got it on Sakho at the moment with the VC on Mane. I don't own Pelle

      1. Foot Fighter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Two votes for Sakho. Thanks guys. Think I might just go with him (as Rooney hasn't looked recently)

    3. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sakho of that trio.

    4. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sakho followed by Pelle for me

      1. Foot Fighter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks... Looks like Sakho it is then! Thanks all 🙂

    5. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Pelle. Everton don't do defending under Martinez......

    6. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sounds like a consensus.

  7. PSEBJ27
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Pick a captain from this front 7:

    Sanchez Mane Depay Payet

    Benteke Gomis Sakho

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Gomis

      1. PSEBJ27
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers mate, considering that

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

        Of course Walsh....
        Been listening to your love-fest for Gomis on the way home from work.
        Nice podcasts. Enjoying them much.

        1. Walsh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Cheers mate 🙂 Glad to you've enjoyed them so far!!

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

      Jeez that's tough.

      Tekkers, Payet or Mane.

      Hmm, Tekkers then.

      1. PSEBJ27
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        It's a good headache to have haha

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Yep and a possible world of regrets come Monday as well. 🙂

          1. PSEBJ27
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Definitely, unless (like in my ideal world) they all do as well as they should and get around 10 points each.

    3. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      nice front 7. You could put it on any of those to be fair. Sanchez and Benteke for me. Followed by Gomis and Sakho

      1. PSEBJ27
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I'm on Benteke(c), Sanchez(vc) at the moment.

    4. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Tekkers but......Liverpool home banker against newly promoted side......0-0.

      1. PSEBJ27
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Gosh don't curse it he's my captain at the moment haha hoping Liverpool drub them

  8. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Gtg? Wasn't sure if Cedric should play or not.

    Ruddy
    Williams, Gomez, Prodl
    Haz, Ozil, Young, Ritchie
    Rooney(c), Pelle(v), Aguero

    Rudd, Cedric, Francis, Fletch

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Cedric over Prodl. Looks good.

      1. Desertbug
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Agree... Cedric

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          You guys are probably right. Tougher fixture but better team.

          Thanks!

  9. Perthite
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Should I make a panic GW2 trade or stick & save?
    (Mahrez, Gomex, Darmian, Sakho, Payet or other?)

    Schmeichel/Ruddy
    Azpil Koscelny Huth Cedric Francis
    Hazard Ozil Sterling Chadli Bentaleb
    Rooney Benteke Deeney

    3. Perthite
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks for the reassurance.

      Who was the defender who killed it round 1 last season and then disappeared (unless I am thinking the previous season)?

      1. Marknlard
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Dier at Spurs?

  10. Bennison
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    which team is better for gameweek 2?
    Option A: http://imgur.com/RFzOa8t
    OR
    Option B: http://imgur.com/2BK0XCU

    The only difference is got rid of Richards, Butland and Henderon -> Oxford, McCarthy and upgraded Henderson to Mane

    And who to captain Benteke, Payet, Rooney or Mane?

    I also have unlimited transfers since just started this week so any help to my team is appreciated

  11. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Is Winston Reid nailed on? For a draft league

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

    2. PSEBJ27
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Should be. I think it's Jenkinson-Ogbonna-Reid-Cresswell

    3. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…

  12. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 years, 9 months ago

    Final conundrum before I lock in team for weekend.

    Captain choice.
    Benteke or Tadic. (currently on Tadic)

    Thanksin advance as I'll be sloping off to bed.

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Benteke for me, Gnu.

    2. PSEBJ27
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Benteke. Play it safe

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Benteke 100%

    4. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Tadic

    5. Diva
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Have the same two and I'm going with Tekkers ATM. Out of interest, why do like Tadic so much for this week?

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Seems to be off to a great start again, very much involved particulary on the assist front.

        Funnily I answered Benteke ahead of Mane in above post but fancy Tadic.

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          oh, and Saints seem to have a good record at home to Everton under Martinez.
          Liverpool aren't reliable enough yet imo.

        2. Diva
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Thanks Gnu. We know Tadic had one of the most explosive weeks ever in FPL, but aside from that one week I'm not sure I've seen enough to put an armband on him. I'm always open to a good argument in favour though, which is why I asked. I hope he scores well, armband or not!

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            You have a very good point but it's an early season punt.
            What could possibly go wrong? 😉

            1. Diva
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Good luck to you!

                • 14 Years

                And you.

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

        It's more that I'm in an Everton self-loathing mood after their abysmal first week and that I fear Tadic will rip us to pieces. I also don't think Bournemouth are that bad.

        1. Diva
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Ooh, thinking about it, Tadic would have gone up against Baines if he was fit wouldn't he? While the Baines cat is away, will the Tadic mouse play?

    Which one?

    a) Sterling + Walcott + 4
    b) Ayew + Sanchez

    1. Desertbug

        A quick hit I see 'eh DB? What'd you do? Courtois to a 4.5 and Walcott to Alexis?

        1. Walsh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Considering neither Walcott or Sanchez are nailed on to start this weekend I'd stick. 2FT's next week is better than 1 as well.

      1. Frank Black
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I think Walcott is pretty nailed on but just for this weekend.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Nobody can be absolutely sure. Demi thinks Sanchez is 'pretty nailed on' and Walcott will be benched. Its a lottery once more.

          1. Frank Black
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            I can't see Walcott starting from the bench for two consecutive games, they were so poor against West Ham.

              I think Walcott will start too and Sanchez will be benched. These aren't facts though and many though Walcott was going to start last week and were proven wrong.

                Anyway i'm not selling him tonight because i'm pretty sure he's not dropping in price. I'm going to sell him tomorrow probably for Ayew.

    For all of those with an itchy transfer finger, you will find having two free transfers will come in handy. Prevents a -4 when you really need to either pick up a higher priced player than you currently have (Kun, Sanchez), or injuries hit hard.

    Resist the urge to use the transfer now. This is my third year, and learning this midway thru last season got my overall rank from about 100k to 10k just by not taking hits unnecessarily, imo.

    Good luck!

        1. Diva
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          If I see a potential problem in my squad I'm not adverse to taking immediate action to neutralise it, particularly in the early part of the season. I know that's not to everybody's tastes though.

    3. Foot Fighter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Totally agree. I'm resisting making any moves this week so that I can do two next week.

    Sanchez, Aguero, Payet, Pelle, Gomis

      Rare GW where both Sanchez and Kun are bad captain options.

      I'd go with Pelle.

    3. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Sanchez

    Guys can i get an honest answer. Who do you believe has a greater potential of points this season. Barring consistent injuries of course.

    Yaya or Silva?

    1. Trovsmash
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      silva if he stays fit

      1. Walsh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        This. Easily. But that doesn't make Yaya a bad pick..

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Silva

    3. Watmore do ya want?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Silva

    4. Hibbopotamus
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Silva has the advanced position right behind Kun, and he doesn't have off years. Yaya's a great pick if you can't afford Kun/Silva -- 30 goals the last two years isn't a fluke -- but there's less risk every week with Silva

  20. KUN+10

    Sterling vs Chelsea or
    Wilson vs Liverpool?

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling

  21. Jarvis
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Captain on Rooney, Sakho, Pelle or Chadli?

    1. Foot Fighter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I asked a similar question earlier and the consensus was Sakho

      1. Jarvis
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I did read that however the question was between only Sakho and Pelle.

  22. mbrucie
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Play three out of;

    Azpi (mci), Mert (cry), Cedric (EVE), Coates (NOR), Oxford (LEI)

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      That's tough. I'd bench Oxford and Mert.

    2. Trovsmash
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      cedric, coates, oxford :/

  23. Trovsmash

    any updates on silva getting credited for one of yaya's goals?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      He got the goal but not in FPL & won't.

      1. Trovsmash
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        that seems rather unfair, why dont they update incorrect points allocation?

    Anyone think Cedric wont start?

    Cedric hauled off at half time, then in the press conference today Koeman says he was unhappy with the first half last week. Maybe Cedric wasnt just taken off because he was on a yellow, maybe its because he played no good

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I think Cedric will start.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I suppose he has too, do they have any real alternative

        1. Walsh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Martina, I suppose.

        2. PSEBJ27
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Martina

    2. Marknlard
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Very rare for someone to be taking off at halftime just because they're on a yellow. Must be more to it.

    3. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Who else do they have? Defence is light on with current injuries...

    4. Watmore do ya want?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No doubt that he was a slight defensive liabilty. Yet was brilliant on the counter. It is more reasonable to believe that he was taken off for the yellow than playing poorly. And even if it was because of his first half performance, would that validate dropping him the week after?

    5. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Would surprise me if he didn't start. Getting taken off at half and being publicly flogged should get Cedric's attention.

  25. KUN+10
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Oxford - Cedric - Huth - Kos - Francis

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bench Oxford and Francis.

    Haz - Caz - Mane - Milner
    Aguero - Rooney - Deeney

    1. KUN+10
      • 9 Years

      Roo

    2. edfiasco
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Rooney

    3. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Rooney, but Mane would be a higher risk/higher potential return.

  27. edfiasco

    Rudland
    Azpi Kos Williams (Bassong Francis)
