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.

        the highest form of complement, given he hasn't 😀

          Damn

      2. Nice to Finally Michu

        I did not, Currently saving my FT

        1. The Blackadder
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          In a good place then.

          1. Nice to Finally Michu
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks a lot mate!

      Very risky captain.

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        -On Freekicks
        -Possibly, even likely id say on pens
        -was set up terrificly in the box last game
        -playing an easier team than last week defensively
        -i cant see newcastle getting shutout so someone has to score
        -lad runs the team
        -he saw great service for his goal and should've had a brace with his chance in the seventh minute
        -oh and his goal was class
        -great preseason so not rusty especially with how he stormed into the season

        Is it risky? Yes. Could it pay off? I sure hope so.

        1. Donkey_Sanctuary
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I like your logic and wish you luck with this pick. Always encouraging to see someone willing to do something different to the most popular choices. This is also as good a week as any because of the lack of a real stand out captain choice (e.g. it wouldn't be as advisable a a strategy in GW4 when Aguero is at home to Watford as I'm sure you're aware)

    3. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Brave

      Do you use the same name in division 53 of the FFS Dugout Draft League?

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I don't think i'm in the FFS Dugout Draft League mate sorry about that

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

          No worries, someone just has the same team name. Not surprising I guess.

  2. The Blackadder
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Good differential captaining Walcott this week or just plain madness?

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      a step too far

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

      some people just don't learn...

      1. The Blackadder
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Tbh, the only other options in my team without making a transfer are Rooney or Benteke and after watching last week, don't fancy either of them either.

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

          You'll have other options

          1. The Blackadder
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Sterling, Hazard....no, which leaves Mane?

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

              Mane is a good option. Explosive potential there and Everton concede a lot on the road, Stones might be unsettled too.

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

                No Baines either, although that might benefit Tadic more...

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

                  Still, having a 3rd choice LB playing can't be a bad thing for Mane's prospects.

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

                    Nope, not at all.

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

          Could I see the rest of your team? I just don't think you can justify Wal(C)ott if he's not even close to being nailed.

          1. The Blackadder
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Kasper
            Azpil, Mert, Cedric
            Hazard, Sterling, Walcott, Mane
            Rooney, Benteke, Wilson.

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

              Mane (C) looks good imo

            2. Costa in Wengerland
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 8 months ago

              Mane C

          • 12 Years

          cant go too wrong with tekkers imo at home to bmouth regardless of last game. Very different propostiotin to away at stoke. roopig alsso decent shout imo

    3. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Could come off

  3. Huddersfield

    8 years, 8 months ago

    Ruddy
    Mert Gomez Coates
    Haz Ozil Mané Mahrez
    Benteke Kane Rooney

    Bench Mc Carthy Monreal Huth Surman

    i am tempted by : Monreal for Coates or even Mahrez

    wat do u think lads ? G2G ?

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

      Yeah, Play monreal ahead of coates.

      1. Huddersfield
        • 8 Years

        thx MSN

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya

        Cheers Rambo

    3. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Monreal before Coates, youll like that double later Surman as 1st sub imo
      otherwise good to go

      1. Huddersfield
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        thx Michu

    4. PSEBJ27
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Monreal is unnecessary. I don't know how you'd drop him for Mahrez though.

      Swap him out for Shaw

      1. Huddersfield
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        i am saving my transfer , i have an aguero plan without hits

  4. El Berbossa - \\\"El b…
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Will Mahrez rise again?

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

      With a good performance, yeah

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      not before the deadline

    3. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      might tomorrow night but that would be next GW

  5. El Berbossa - \\\"El b…

    Guys this is a good indication of why Payet may not be a good FPL prospect long term.

      Bentaleb, Huth, Richards

  7. Coldplay
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Seems like Rooney(C) is becoming more and more of a differential around these parts.

    1. Donkey_Sanctuary
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      If you count the player who is top of the captain poll as a differential then I guess he is

  8. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Richards first, Huth, bent

    1. La Roja

    GTG?

    Ruddy
    Azpi - Mert - Coates - Targett
    Haz - Ozil - Mane - Mahrez
    Roo (c) - Kun

    Rudd - Wilson - Huth - Benteleb

    1. Jayblue

      Not sure if targett nailed on. Otherwise g2g

      1. DameCorp
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Pretty sure Bert has been confirmed out.

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

      Play Wilson

    3. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      id play wilson over one of coates or targett

      1. DameCorp
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        away at Liverpool? Bournemouth couldnt even break through Villa's defence.

    4. Coldplay
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'd be tempted to play Wilson ahead of Mert and Huth ahead of Coates.

    5. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Wilson over Coates, make Coates 1st sub

    Early predictions* about possible Saturday morning price changes:

    Potential risers: Romero, André Ayew, Cabaye and maybe Yaya Toure

    Potential fallers: Walcott, Naismith, Ki, Courtois, Jordan Ayew, Mitrovic

    *Please note the word "predictions". These are just my thoughts from looking at early transfer numbers today and the players price change threshold proximity. Some other possibilities, particularly some low ownership players, I haven't included. If you are thinking of buying or selling one of these players, please do your own research into them as I take no responsibility for your decisions. 🙂

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

      Nice disclaimer there.

      I fully expect another 10-15 questions/page about what to do with Walcott now

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

        Wow, wasn't expecting to go green on that. I did fear it might set a few hares running, which is why I included the disclaimer! I had done the scan for my own curiosity, but thought I'd share the wealth. 🙂

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      nice one diva

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

        Thanks. It's worth noting that transfer activity usually picks up on Friday and I guess the early deadline will only help that. If so, it might bring other options into price change play that are not on the table now.

    3. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Ayew going up but not Payet?! Boo!

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

        I think Payet's more of a FFS bandwagon than one the masses are riding. If transfer numbers explode he has enough of a base that he might come into play, but the early Friday NTI doesn't suggest it.

        1. andy85wsm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah that's probably true - he only assisted as well and didn't score so that will put a few off. We'll see how it goes, happy for him to remain a differential with the fixtures 🙂

    4. DOCTOR J
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Didn't know there were two Ayews, Ayew sure??

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

        Aye, I am. They're brothers.

        1. QPR expects... glory!
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah, but one's crap 😀

    5. Vildinho
      • 9 Years

      When does the prices change? Community article said it has changed to 7am GMT. Is this true?

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

        It was true the first day, when the article was published. FPL have since reverted back to shortly before 3am UK time.

        1. Vildinho

    3. Yome
      • 12 Years

      Wally escaped the drop. Kompany, Oxford and Courinho rose

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

        That's not the worst news. Not really a fan of Coutinho, don't think Oxford will keep his place long term and Kompany won't score with his shoulder every week.

        Hopefully the players I do want keep quiet (but don't play rubbish 😉 ) over next couple of weeks!

        1. Yome
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Yes not a fan of Komps and Couts either.
          Oxford as 4.0 bench fodder is all right if most people have 3 playing defenders every week

          1. andy85wsm
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah maybe, apart from for now he might as well be 4.5 🙂

            Ah well, missed that one. Hopefully I can get on some other risers soon!

  12. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO

    Chelsea attackers are going under the radar as Captaincy candidates this week.

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard a good option
      All it takes is one goal and you're happy once BPS are added and that could all just come in the form of a lousy pen

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

        Yes. People are so focused on City attack vs Chelsea defence, that Chelsea attack ( out of form but quality ) vs Man City defence is being forgotten.

        I wouldn't be surprised if Costa comes away with a brace this weekend.

        1. andy85wsm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I doubt many people own Costa around here.

          I would be surprised if he came away with a brace to be honest. There's a good reason Chelsea attack is going under the radar.

    Best option for captain?
    1. Mahrez

    4. Benteke
    5. Sakho

    1. Jayblue

          Thanks mate

  15. Ron_Manager
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    So after the dismal first GW I'm kinda wavering on my original plan.

    Ruddy/Rudd
    Mertesacker/Cedric/Huth/Coates/Francis
    Ritchie/Ozil/Mane/Mahrez(transferred in for Walcott)/Sinclair
    Rooney/Benteke/Kane

    6.1 in bank with plan to do Ozil -> Sanchez for GW3 and either Rooney/Kane -> Aguero for GW4 onwards. Does this look fine?

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      6.1 ITB???

      Just make those changes now, anything could happen and youll hate planning transfers

      1. Ron_Manager
        • 8 Years

        They might not play yet, seems risky to take hits this early no?

          Ohhh it's for hits, I guess wait for now then

            • 11 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Of course it's for hits if he's already done Walcott to Mahrez

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

      I wouldn't have traded Wally for Mahrez, but given you have that plan is fine.

    3. Donkey_Sanctuary
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Walcott in for Mahrez without upgrading someone else has disaster written all over it

    Narrowed it down to two now-

    Tadic or Ayew?

      Ayew

      May not be a popular opinion but i may go with tadic

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

      Tadic for me

      Remember he is on PKs and most set pieces

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        cheers leaning even more towards him now

    4. Diva

      I have both, but saying "buy both" probably wouldn't help you out much! 🙂

      1. SpaceCadet

        At least I know I have narrowed it down well 🙂

  17. El Berbossa - \\\"El b…
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    A) Silva + Mahrez

    Or

    B) Yaya + Ayew

    If I was to get rid of Theo, who would I put in as a replacement? I have Mane already.

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling?

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

        Hmm not sure, he couldn't even get an assist in a 3-0 walkover w/ WBA, also I have Hazard so that would be a clash for this GW.

        1. Donkey_Sanctuary
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          The concept of 'clashes' is a bit of a fallacy. Especially when applied to attacking players

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

      Keep Theo until deadline, then downgrade to fit in Alexis or Aguero

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

        His price will drop tonight, I already have Aguero, Hazard and Rooney so won't be able to fit in Alexis.

    3. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Ayew imo. But I would keep Walcott

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

        That's my gut feeling, keep - Take the loss and hope 1 good GW gets him back to full price, I think I would rather have the 2 FT's for next week - Also I have Mahrez so his 0.1 loss will be covered.

        Thanks!

            • 12 Years

            Will upgrade yaya to hazard in need be. Not too happy with hazards positional play during first game TBH. also city fixtures are alot more favorable.

    2. Yome
      • 12 Years

      Made of players that did well last week.
      Gomez, Oxford, Targett is too risky.
      No Hazard is really courageous
      Not sure about Kane...

      1. El Berbossa - \\\"El b…

        Not sure about Kane? Kidding right?

    3. Gloria Kanchelskis

      Need to move the defence funds around a bit. You could easily end up with only two playing defenders in two weeks time. Consider Huth and Williams.

  21. Ravager
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Schmeichel (Butland)
    Azpi Mert Francis (Huth, Saylor)
    Hazard Mane Sterling Ozil (Wanyama)
    Wilson Benteke Rooney

    0.5 ITB I FT...

    Suggestions for moves to make?

  22. Moin

    Play Aguero or Start Coates/Prodl instead of him?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Coates

          Fair enough.

          Questions like Aguero or Coates certainly make me feel better about not owning at least 🙂

          “Whether I start or not remains to be seen,” said Aguero. “I’m trying to get there and be in top condition, but arriving for pre-season later means I need some additional time.

          “With the whole season in mind, what matters the most is that I get in top form and don’t take any risks.”

            I know Sunderland have a kind fixture but I still think you play him, but up to you of course!

          I have both. Agüero is leading my line and Coates is nestled on my bench. I'll take 30 minutes of Agüero over 90 minutes of Coates - even with their respective fixtures. I hope Coates works out for you though; he's first off my bench if any of my defenders fail to play.

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Play Ivan, Cpatain Rooney

    2. Gloria Kanchelskis

      Ivan and Tekkers

  25. jamesosul
    • 8 Years

    Who do you think is the best 7.0 priced midfielder to have with upcoming fixtures?

    Not Tadic as I have Mane already.

    Any help appreciated

    1. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Henderson or Ayew probably

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

      Ayew is a good pick

    3. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      ayew imo

    4. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      ayew

    5. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      If you didn't have mane would you have picked tadic over the others?

      1. jamesosul
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Not entirely sure, I don't want to double up on players in the same team.

        Is Ayew going to be a one hit wonder or will he be able to keep it up is the big question???

        Chadli / Milner or Henderson potentially better options???

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Was torn between ayey hendo tadic shelvey the whole week, finally pulled the trigger on tadic......Vamos Dusan!

          1. jamesosul
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            My choice was who to replace Sterling with as I need the cash to free up for an Aguero transfer next week.

            Choices were .... Ayew, Shelvey, Milner or Henderson

  26. peco12

    wanyama or ritchie for this game week?

    1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!

      8 years, 8 months ago

      of course ritchie out of that two.....

    2. HurriKane

      8 years, 8 months ago

      ritchie

  27. white lightning
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    My captaincy options are Rooney, Sakho, Sakho but I might go Mignolet. L'pool great chance of cs & B'mouth are very attacking so he could get some save points.

    Thoughts & thanks.

    1. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Mignolet? Nope!

      1. white lightning
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Is it that ridiculous a punt? Lol 1 of Sakho should be Mane.

  28. waputs101
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    for gw3, better option?

    A. Courtois + Mert

    B. Butland + Azpi

    1. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years

      Pretty close - probably B.

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      B

  29. someone you know
    • 9 Years

    who to bench: Mahrez (whm) or Tadic (EVE)?

    1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 9 Years

      mahrez but i may bite my words later..hehe!!

    2. Diva
      • 9 Years

      Who else do you have up front and in midfield?

      1. someone you know
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        its a draft league. i have: lukaku, gomis, costa, milner, sterling, mata, ritchie...

        def and gk: darmian, ivam, rose, bertrand, janmaat, hart, pants.

        Im really stumped!

        1. Gloria Kanchelskis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I'd bench Ritchie

          1. someone you know
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Ritchie is benched already!!!

  30. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    This wildcard team is tempting.

    McCarthy Hennessey
    Merte Shaw Williams (Huth Francis)
    Hazard Sanchez Ayew Mahrez ( Westwood)
    Aguero Sakho Pelle

    Thoughts ? (0.0 itb)

    1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      1.Darmian better pick then shaw imo..
      2.Sanchez maybe starts but i highly doubt Kun will!!
      3.McCarthy/hennessey short term(do you want to have a palace defence cover which is an attacking team!!)

    2. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Good team but Darmian over Shaw maybe
