The ScoutCast – Episode 179 – Resolutions

New Year, new aspirations, same old voices.

The first ScoutCast of 2016 is brimming with determined talk of banishing old habits which, in all honesty, will likely evaporate in the weeks to come. That’s particularly true of my no-Aguero policy, which feels even more flimsy after taking in the musings of Jonty and Andy in this episode.

Man City’s hitman and faltering away form comes under the microscope via another batch of community questions, along with an assessment of Dele Alli, Kane without Dembele and the allure of the French fancy that is Dimitri Payet.

We rinse through that little lot, before looking ahead to the floodlit excitement that awaits us in Gameweek 21.

This episode was first aired live on our YouTube channel on Wednesday evening.

      This isn't even the bigun' either.

        • 10 Years

        Its not but neither was QPR vs Villa but Benteke, Austin and Phillips still managed to make a mockery of those who ignored it, myself included.

    For this week only would you rather have Costa (WBA) or Ighalo? (sou)

    Good evening! Since I was last on our phone line has been knocked down our road has become impassable through flooding and now it is snowing. Is there anything interesting from the last 4 days ? I am running off a crappy mobile signal here so I doubt I will be about much tonight.

      Nothing much has really happened other than Lukaku getting a knock.

              • 8 Years

    Patrick Bamfird to get a shot at Chelsea? With falcao being more broken than torres and remy timing his injuries in sync with Costa's I wouldn't mind seeing this atleast as 3rd back up striker. Give him a go Guus!

  12. DGWK Planning Update
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    League Cup double gameweek planning

    As Jarvish has already gone over in detail, the League Cup will present 2 or 4 blanks in gw27 while the possible options for dgws in weeks 25, 34 or 37. As the FA Cup may also produce fixture congestion and require dgw fixtures for the League Cup finalists too, so it would be prudent on the Premier Leagues behalf to bring forward the PL fixtures for the LC finalists to gw25 where there is a vacancy.

    This would produce the scenario of DGW25, blank 27.

    Depending on League Cup results there are 4 possible combinations of DGWers:

    Liverpool & Everton
    Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle & Man City
    Liverpool, Everton, Stoke & Aston Villa
    Newcastle, Man City, Stoke & Aston Villa

    As the blanks come after the dgw, it may be good to try and maximise the DGWers for gw25 while still getting 11 players out for gw27, without taking hits anywhere.

    To this end, if you can get 7 DGWers in place by gameweek 24 and roll your gw25 FT, you can then ship 3 impending blanks across gw26 & gw27 and bench the other 4 blankers who you want to keep longer term.

    As we find out the dgwers between gw23 and gw24 if you roll your gw23 FT you can make 2FTs in gw24 aimed at the dgw. This would suggest having 5 dgwers from the combinations above prepped for each of the above scenarios by the end of gw22 to get your maximum of 7 in gw25 and still having the FTs to de-escalate.

    Obviously there are lots of caveats to this so I think 7 is a pipe dream but 6 attainable, this would require 4 dgwers in each scenario in place by gw23 (not needing to roll the gw23 or gw25 ft) and they are:
    • Injuries scupper the best laid plans
    • Liverpool vs Everton would only allow a max of 6 dgwers anyway
    • covering all bases is hard
    • it may not even be a gw25 dgw
    • dgwers aren’t always the best bet

    All those points said it can’t harm to plan and I might get a Stoke player this week who can then hide on the bench for most of ARS, lei, mun, EVE.

      Won't stoke only get dgw if they qualify? Liv big favs

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        yep but there are a lot of possibilities out there and I wanted to cover all of them.

        1. Rhinos
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah you had to for the sake of the post I just meant I'd be happy to gamble thst stoke don't make the final

            • 10 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            yeah its just I've got 3 EVE/LIV and 3 MCI/NEW so I'm looking at bases to cover. Its only one of about 20 moves I'm looking at this week but with 2 FTs and Phil Jones to shift it could be done.

            1. Rhinos
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah it's always good to prepare

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Rough chance of each team making the final calculated from the odds here:
      http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-cup/name-the-finalists

      Liverpool 86%
      City 57%
      Everton 43%
      Stoke 14%

      (yes I know about bookies bias etc but these are a good approximation)

      1. Kevin Twine
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Bookie bias??

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

      Good stuff. Bookmarked.

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

      This is great. It's also very highly likely that Liverpool and Everton will get the DGW as they have 2 chances. BOTH pool and Everton would have to lose for them to not make it due to their game being the one on the blank week (I know you know this I'm just saying it again)

      So if people wanted to take a punt on an early transfer to a DGW-er one of those would be best. Unfortunately their games over the next couple gws are rubbishness for both.

    Getting these DGWs right with all these bloody chips is gonna be key it seems. Hopefully FFS can hold my hand through the process when the time comes!

    Should we be preparing now? Someone earlier advised me against selling the likes of Moreno because a DGW was imminent for him

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…

      Ok, i've just seen the very helpful post above from Balders. I should have read first!

      It depends on everyone's individual situation but I'd be keen to hold him if I could hide him for ARS, MUN, & lei in the next 4.

        Mind Moreno might not even be nailed on by then, Klopp may well look for a left back in the window

      A good point for keeping Moreno then. He might not be fully nailed as the youngster LB did better in attacking. JK should have more priorities to fix elsewhere rather than LB, I guess.

          He'd want to cash in on a Newcastle DGW if City go through.

    Real strange one for Swansea to sack Monk and have no replacement lined up. After thinking about it for a while, I wouldn't be surprised to see them get relegated.

      I'm not so sure about the details behind the sacking, but Curtis has been an excellent caretaker thus far. Really can't fault what he's done in these 5 matches, they definitely need to sign a striker soon in this window though. Gomis, Eder & Emnes are total jokes.

      1. Slice of ham

        Yeah you're right I guess. This window is vital.

        may keep Giroud instead of buying Kane then

        How can Liverpool not have one centerback in their youth setup they can promote to the first team?

        Give one of your homegrown players a chance eh?

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          CB is the one position I'd not want to chuck a young lad into the deep end. Recalling Illori who's not getting a game at Villa just seems safer.

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

            Why not toss him vs Arsenal attack?

            You will find out real quick if he is worthy or not..

            No you are right, it will not end well no matter which way you look at it

            1. NATSTER
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Unlike attackers or flanks players, the error of CB will easily decide the match.

  26. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Play Kolarov (EVERTON) or Smalling (Newscastle)?

    1. Slam

      Smalling

    2. The Nuttman

      Smalldog.

    3. RubeRx
