The ScoutCast – Episode 174 – Cameo

Sneaking in late like John Terry in a triumphant team photo, Granville gatecrashes this week’s ScoutCast after we drafted in Andy85WSM as his able replacement.

Andy tag teams with Jonty and myself as we look back ten days at the long forgotten Gameweek 12, before grappling with another round of posers from the community.

We cast tentative votes on the Aguero debate, assess Lukaku’s armband credentials, check that we really can write off Chelsea and question whether time is up for Sanchez in the light of Ozil’s streak of assists.

After all that, Granville parachutes in and we get a few minutes to gloat over his injury-ravaged squad. A worthy cameo contribution.

This episode of the ScoutCast was recorded and broadcast live on Wednesday evening, published via our YouTube channel.

        Lol. The scoutcast fulfils a rather different need!

      Normally I go for audio only, but part of me needs to know what granny's looking so, um, animated about in that still

        You've been sucked in mate! 🙂

    Is it worth doing Pelle ---> Lukaku tonight to avoid Lukaku's price rise, or just wait until tomorrow?

    No other infernos in my team

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      He might get injured tonight.

    2. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Pelle does really well at home but I guess it makes sense to get rid of him with Stoke's recent defensive record. Hmm...if it's free it wouldn't be a bad transfer if you have a plan for Kun.

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I think he's doing the transfer regardless.

    3. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years

      why u want to wait? do it now.

      1. Judas

        injuries

    4. Ziegler1988
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      No need to wait, Everton already issued an injury update today

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        They confirmed Lukaku won't get injured before the game?

        1. Ziegler1988
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          There won't be any updates tomorrow regardless

          1. Epic Fail
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            I'm confident if Lukaku breaks his balls tonight because he forgot his safe word we will know about it before the deadline.

      goforit

  5. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Thanks everyone for indicating that Lukaku should still be on pens with Baines back. With these fixtures, his form and the fact he should be on pens, do you think it's a great time to get him in for Ighalo?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Yes.

    2. StoichkovFPL

      yes. fantastic calendar for everton!

    3. Effe

  7. Scotty B
    • 12 Years

    Reid, Clyne, Richards, Van Dijk

    Bench 1 please?

    1. Junebug
      • 8 Years

      Reid

    2. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Richards

  8. Junebug
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Any advice appreciated please.
    Myhill (mccarthy)
    Bellerin Monreal Kolarov (Moreno Oxford)
    Coutinho Sanchez Ayew Mahrez Kdb
    Pelle Vardy (Ighalo)
    0 FT 5.0 itb
    Worth a hit for mccarthy to hennesey, as myhill sure to concede vs arsenal and palace at home to sunderland could well be clean sheet?
    Also coutinho (mci a) over ighalo (mun h) right?

  9. Federico
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    For some reason i still own Hazard. Would it be plain stupid to captain him, or just very risky?

    0 FT, no Lukaku.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Bit of both.

    2. stilicho
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure it would be a huge risk with so few armbands on aguero, probably the last week you could get away with a fail.

      1. Federico
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I think Lukaku is my biggest concern. Would captain if I had him, but I'm not so keen on selling Pelle for a hit this week.

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

    Folks, is Lukaku rising tonight?

      1. Tinmen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Your dead on

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Likely.

    2. Ziegler1988
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Obligatory ask his missus response

  11. Judas
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Would you start Francis (swa) or Dawson (ARS)?

    1. stilicho
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Dawson

    2. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Dawson

    3. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Swansea have looked toothless so the logical choice would be Francis. Just have a funny feeling myself that WBA Arsenal will end 0-0...

    4. Ziegler1988
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Francis

    5. Judas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I just cant see the baggies keeping arsenal out at all. whereas bournmouth looked good last week and could walk all over the falling swans

    6. Sweetpea
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Francis. Both on cs odds and assist threat.

  12. JAC THE CAT
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Defence of

    Kompany, Bellerin, VVD and Rojo

    Bench one please

    1. Ziegler1988
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Rojo

    2. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Kompany

    3. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Why you have 4 premium defs?

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        have got, bla bla

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          One is being downgraded soon for Aguero

          I held Kompany during his injury

    4. Sweetpea
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Roe Joe might bench himself with all his travelling.

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Chance of a cameo?

  13. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Ok, why noone mention Anya as 5th mid?

    1. Sweetpea
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      She's a good singer alright.

    2. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Not a terrible option, but only one assist all season (Watford don't score many). Also has only completed the full 90 once in the last five matches.

  14. Ridgewell's scores
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Doing my head in, but put simply:

    A) Kane
    B) Lukaku

    Cheers.

    Good evening, guys.
    Give me advice, please.

    Myhill || McCarthy
    Williams || Richards || Kolarov || Moreno || Targett
    Sanchez || Mahrez || KDB || Payet || Ayew
    Kane || Vardy || Pelle

    FT: 1 Bank: 1,6

    1. Slash
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Sell Payet. Buy Ozil or Delefeu

  16. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    So everyone with Lukaku, are you making him (c) or is there a better option?

    1. Slash
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Captain for me

    2. Sweetpea
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy Lukaku and Sanchez all similar chances

    3. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Kane

    4. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Yes.

    5. Özilla Firefox
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Many are going with Kaku, I'm taking a chance with Mahrez. for a differential

  17. Judas
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Pelle ---> Lukaku DONE

    Couldnt be bothered mulling over it tomorrow. Team sorted

    1. Ginola14

      1. Judas

    2. Sweetpea
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

  18. Sweetpea

      2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years

        I've not seen them, just caught 30s right now.

      I hung out with Colin Farrell for a while when we were teenagers.
      I once attempted to chat up Andrea Corr.
      I snogged Amanda Byram when we were teenagers.
      I had a pee beside Johnny Logan once 😎
      I sat at the next table to Bono in the Brown Thomas coffee shop.

            I went to Catherine Jenkins New Years party and got her trashed on shots. I also drank with Charlotte Church and tried to kiss her when she was with Gavin Henson and pregnant.

            Met few of the Welsh rugby team as well.

                  He wasn't there and was New Year in my defence. She thought I was trying to snog her and started laughing but was just going to kiss her on the cheek at the bells. Honest 🙂

          8 years, 5 months ago

          Isn't anyone worried about Deulofeu's game time?

          Also compare his stats to Barkley's (last 4 gameweeks) if you're a member....

          1. Epic Fail
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Game time not guaranteed, but sometimes you gotta roll the dice.

          2. Sweetpea
            • 11 Years

            I'm on Barkley over Delboy too.

            Yes, and Cleverley in the mix too now.

          On a WC this week already.
          Shall I get the KUN transfer done by Saturday or face a likely -4 next week fitting him in?

          1. Backup Dancer
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Get him on your wildcard. That's what I'm doing

          2. GHB
            • 13 Years

            If you don't fancy him this week you can easily put another striker in with money itb to get Kun week after. No need for the hit.

          Kun plan (next week):

          KDB + Vardy > Bolassie/Delofeu

          2 FTs

          Good idea?

            Not possible.

              It's possible but I wouldn't sell Vardinho

                Delboy is a milf.

                  8 years, 5 months ago

                  I meant one of those two + Aguero.

                    • 11 Years
                    8 years, 5 months ago

                    Ah ok. Get delboy over bolasie.

                8 years, 5 months ago

                I've already got Kane and Lukaku, someone needs to make way, at least when Kun starts firing.

            2. Efan Ekoku Pops
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              Funnily enough, Aguero is the other player.

          2. Raddy
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Nope

          Draft 148...

          Ddg Hennessey
          Bertrand Bellerin Dier Moreno Simpson
          Sterling Ozil Coutinho Mahrez Stanislas
          Kane Aguero Lukaku

          Cash is more evenly spread after losing alexis and kolarov. Can see myself regretting relying on simpson and stanislas though.

          Midfield still too weak?

            • 10 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            I prefered #102

            1. how now brown cow
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              Ha, you know what, i reckon i did too.

                • 10 Years
                8 years, 5 months ago

                😛 To be honest I really like it if you can stomach being angry with Coutinho's wild shooting.

          1. RoysCallerAnne
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            I really like it. Stop tinkering. I will have that front 3 by next GW for a -4

          2. Pochecinno
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Anything in the bank to upgrade Simpson/Stanislas? I like the balance in your team 🙂

            1. how now brown cow
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              Not a bean! Would have to lose a bit from defence or go sterling to yaya.

              1. Pochecinno
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 5 months ago

                Don't mess around with your defence, looks finely balanced. I wouldn't downgrade Sterling to Yaya just for the funds. Pick the one who you think is better.

                TBH, I wouldn't worry about Stanislas and Simpson. The important thing is that they are nailed-on. Simpson seems to be, are we sure about Stanislas?

                1. how now brown cow
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 5 months ago

                  No. 4.2 is scraping the barrel. No options.

                  Dier to walker is another option, but as you know, he's not done much in opposition half this season.

            Yes Yes
            Yes Yes Not Sure Yes Enabler
            Cool Yes Nah Yes Nah
            Yes Yes Yes

            1. how now brown cow
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              Who would you go for instead of coutinho? Deulofeu feels a bit wandwagony and short term, especially with luk up top. Payet would have been ideal.

        6. Dimen
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Is Rose nailed on for Spurs?

          1. stilicho
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            No

          2. how now brown cow
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Likely to play the next few, but as long as davies is fit there will always be some rotation.

            1. Pochecinno
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              I think Davies has become the cup/europa preference. Rose is the superior player imo

          3. Sweetpea
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            I think he is.

        7. For Fuchs Sake
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Lukaku and Deulofeu too much Everton?

          1. Epic Fail
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Not if they bring in lots of points.

            1. For Fuchs Sake
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              do you think they will?

              1. Epic Fail
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 5 months ago

                Probably.

          2. RoysCallerAnne
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Not at the moment, no. Dflu seems to assist most of Lukaku's goals. That's 7 points a pop plus bonuses. mmmm

          3. Sweetpea
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Both good options in their own right.

        8. Feed tha Sheep
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Best option?
          A. Payet > Ozil (means would take a few weeks to get agureo)
          B. Downgrade Payet (would mean could get Agureo next week)

        9. For Fuchs Sake
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          How come Sanchez doesn't have a yellow "i" next to his name, I thought he was an injury doubt?

          1. Epic Fail
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            He played innit.

          2. Pochecinno
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            No he played the whole match for Chile

          3. Raddy
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Nope. Was a doubt before second Chile game, but played 90 mins so is considered fit.

          4. Jazz!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            And then he started for Chile.

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

            Maybe there could be a pink flag if a player is 'a bit tired'

        10. t4thomas
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          da Gea
          Cedric | Janmaat | Souaré
          Sánchez | De Bruyne | Mané | Willian
          Lukaku | Pellè | Ighalo

          Cathcart | Surman | Moreno | Hennessey

          1FT
          4.6M

          STRATEGY A

          Pellè --> Kane. I'll then do my best to wait it out until GW16 for Ighalo --> Agüero with De Bruyne making way for Lanzini.

          STRATEGY B

          Ighalo --> Kane. I would then get on Pellè --> Agüero early with De Bruyne making way for Bolasie or Deulofeu (-4).
