The ScoutCast – Episode 165 – Wildboys

Best third striker option?

a. kone
b. Wilson
c. ighalo
d. agbanlohor

Any others within 5.5m?

Chadli or Mane?

I'm on a wc & I want defensive cs's for this gw.

My current defence:
McCathy (Butland)
Kolorov, Shaw, Williams (Richards, Gomez)

I can see possible cs's for all my defence except Kolorov v Everton away & I see a possible cs for West Ham v Bournemouth at home.
Would you
(a) play Kolorov or
(b) put in Cresswell or Ogbonna, Reid, Jenkinson (which is best) & then get Kolorov next week.

Thanks.

Benteke or Gomis for the next 5 games?

Is dioufs starting position under threat in the near future? (Joselu, Bojan)

Hi guys. Please rate my WC team:

Ruddy (Myhill)
Darmian, Kolarov, Gomez (Ward, Turner)
Sanchez, Silva, Mane, Mahrez (Westwood)
Gomis, Aguero, Sakho

0.2 ITB.

Good to go?

Team nearly there. Forgetting Lovren with the new Sakho contract. Looking to still go with Gomez but I need Turner/Francis to drop .1

Thoughts on this wildcard draft :

Butland, McCarthy
Darmian, Bellerin, Kolarov, Huth, Saylor
Sanchez, Yaya, Depay, Payet, Westwood
Aguero, Gomis, Diouf

??

Hazard or Sanchez and why..

Have Silva and Aguero..
Going to choose between 1 of Haz/Sanchez.

Think Hazard must come good soon!

Butland

Clyne AZPI Cedric

HAZ CAZ Payet Mahrez

Deeney Tekkers Aguero

SUB : Ruddy , IBE , Huth Francis
ITB : 0.1 m

How is this looking!! ?

Wish I had the balls 🙂

Butland // McCarthy

Kolarov // Huth // Martin // Richards // Targett

Depay // Yaya // Payet // Sanchez // Pedro

Ighalo // Aguero // Kone .4m itb

I don't

Butland Schmeichel
Kolarov Naughton Cedric Francis Whittaker
Sanchez Silva Mane Ayew Mahrez
Aguero Sakho 4.5 bench fodder

Thoughts on this 352 team and which 4.5 striker has the best chance of starts in the future? Watmore?

I know you'll probably say avoid Cedric but if you want my reasoning on him I can give it.

How's it look?

Ruddy
Azpi, Koscienly, Williams
Silva, Ozil, Payet(C), Chadli,
Rooney, Pelle, Sakho

Butland, Fletcher, Huth, Targett

3.0 ITB, 0 FT.

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the itsy bitsy spider on the scoutcast... noticed how it came out to play when he heard the word 'wildcard'

I took Kolarov out forgetting about his price rise earlier this week and couple other players to see what my XI would look like and now I've lost £0.1m. Silly me.

Otamendi at 6.5? Is that a joke ?

rank your top 3 GK combos if money wasn't an issue

1) Courtois McCarthy
2) Schmeichel - Butland
3) Myhill - McCarthy

The four most annoying players to own in FPL:

4 - the one that should get more - e.g. David silva - this player is always involved, always creating always feels like he could have gotten so much more points. He still ticks along nicely, getting you 6, 9, 2, 5, 8 etc. but always leaves you frustrated as he could have had significantly more.

3 - the ones who can't finish - e.g. Sterling - if you own those players, don't watch their games and all will be fine - they will get you nice points. However, if you do watch them dribble over two players just to miss from 10 feet you will end up pulling all your hair out. Those players would have been fantasy gold if not for a complete inability to score in simple situations.

2 - the one that explodes - e.g. Saido mane - these players will give huge points in short unexpected bursts of 2-3 games - you just never know when it will happen and the waiting will kill you. You are very likely to ship them out just before their burst.

1 - the fixture ignorants - e.g. Lukaku - this player will score a brace against Chelsea or city or Spurs, a week later you will captain him against Bournemouth at home and he will blank of course.

Hi guys,

I hit WC due to poor performances.

Pls RMT, Any comments appreciated! 🙂

McCarthy/Butland
Muniesa/Kolorov/Richards/Huth/Francis
Hazard/Sanchez/Mahrez/Silva/Westwood
Kun/Gomis/Ighalo

0 ITB Haha.

Any thoughts? I still have unlimited transfers due to WC...

Cheers!

Is Silva worth the extra 1.5 over Yaya?

Excited to have Payet (C), first real punt of the season! 😀

Butland

Clyne AZPI Cedric

HAZ CAZ Payet Mahrez

Deeney Tekkers Aguero

SUB : Ruddy , IBE , Huth Francis
ITB : 0.1 m

How is this looking!! ?

Bottomed Last

Brought it up before, bringing it up again.

Let's talk about Kone. Super cheap, showing potential.

Yes, everton have a horrendous run of fixtures, but if anyone else is like me and trying to bring in the likes of Kun, Sanchez, and Silva/Yaya all into their team, he's an interesting 3rd striker option.

Which option?

A) Barkley (nailed on?)

B) Cabaye

C) Redmond

Hey guys,
How's this team look? Was really tempted to wc but going to try and hold out.

Butland
Bellerin cedric Francis
Hazard mane depay mahrez
Aguero Benteke sakho

Schmeichel Westwood huth Coates

Been thinking about getting Kolarov but after Everyon on Sunday , City play Watford at home.

This is a prime fixture for Clichy to start, and I suspect he will do

Yaya or silva...

Go away for two minutes and come back with this...

Think Watmore will be my punt...

BUT then I see Rubert X's post up top about the alternative candidate in Ighalo...

Anyone followed the Soton match of yesterday?
Any idea on the performance of Mané and Pelle?

Dilemma between the 2 options below;

A) Pelle - Ayew (which I actually have)

or

B) Gomis - Mané

So last season the best scoring midfielders mostly had an average of between 1 and 2 shots in the box per game. It is unusual for midfielders to maintain a much higher average than 2 over a lot of games. Only Sanchez managed this last year. Very few high scoring mids averaged less than 1 though, so it seems to be a key stat.

I am thinking of monitoring these stats all season with special attention to those who average 2+ shots in the box per game over a period of 4-6 games. I may also relentlessly ditch midfielders who have averaged fewer than 1 for a while.

Anyone else rely on stats a lot? I never have done before. Doosra, I already know your answer haha.
