The ScoutCast – Episode 173 – Howler

Following on from Halloween, it’s time to revisit a horror show Gameweek from Granville.

Having gathered an array of green arrows in recent weeks, my ScoutCast co-host produced a pair of transfer howlers, watching on from behind the sofa as both Philippe Coutinho and Riyad Mahrez banged nails into his Gameweek coffin.

Jonty and I do our best to dwell on Granville’s misery for as long as possible, before attempting to cheer him up with similarly scary tales from the community in “Rough with the Smooth”.

We then take on your questions, debating Leicester’s legs, United’s decline and whether we can actually tame the Fantasy Football troll that is Romelu Lukaku.

This episode of the ScoutCast was broadcast live on Tuesday evening (before the news on Hector Bellerin’s injury) via our YouTube channel.

You can catch the full un-edited version of this episode via the larger player below, or take in the “polished” audio effort via this link or the smaller player.

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

      Midfield is ok, but I'd start with removing Sakho. Ighalo best option.

        Thanks bud. Do you think I should pull the trigger this GW or save FT and reassess after international break?

          Personally I'd do it now. I always try to be proactive and Leicester always concede!

      Sakho to either Carroll/Rondon/Fletcher

    Cech (McCarthy)

    Smalling Van Dijk Sagna (Monreal, Martin (Suspended))

    Mahrez (c) Sanchez KDB Payet Mane

    Pelle Vardy (Ighalo)

    I don't want to bench Ighalo but I have a feeling Ayew will score...

  7. Rata

    As replacement for Darmian, would you go for:

    a) Rojo
    b)Moreno

    Begovic (Butland)
    Cedric, Skyrtel (Bellerin, Huth, Souare)

      Save AoA and play Huth instead of Redmond

    Bench boost

    Ok I'm considering playing this week , I know this goes against perceived thinking but is it really that bad ?

    I have a great squad this week and not used transfer yet so my bench is:-
    Payet , Janmaat , Saylor (to become Moreno)

    This bench is about as strong as im going to get , I can't see me having a better one this year

    I know the perceived wisdom is to save it for a double but I have triple captain chip for one of them and are we realistically going to have 15 dgws, more likely a few singles in there so bench boost is just going to be playing the singles , essentially the same as this GW

    Could do with some thoughts on this , am I going mad ???

    Thanks

      Use it.

    In his last 10 matches for Barca, Neymar has score 10 times and assisted 6 more. Would love a player so consistent in FPL!
