The ScoutCast – Episode 210 – Refresh

Back for 2017, partially refreshed and braced for the season run-in, the ScoutCast returns to herald a new leader in the Fantasy Football Scout Hall of Fame.

With the legend that is Ville Ronka toppled, Granville, Jonty, Andy and myself start by doffing our cloth caps to the brand new name at the top – Jay Egersdorff.

An advocate of the 3-5-2, Jay provides the springboard for the episode’s big discussion, as we revisit the merits of a formation change to a “power five” midfield, while considering a big spend on a four-man defence.

Your community questions supply the rest of the ammunition, as we chew over rising stars Alli, Giroud and the fading stock of Hazard and Aguero and, against better judgment, we even touch on Nyomgate until Jonty swoops to pull the plug.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

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

    Not replying to others but trying for answers and working at the same time:

    Good to go?

    Grant Manone
    Yoshida Baines McCauley Rose Jones
    Hazard Sanchez Lallana Phillips De Roon
    Ibra Costa Giroud

    Thinking of Hazard to Alli? Will give me Lallana to Coutinho next week

    1. George James
      • 9 Years

      Hazard and Lallana could very easily outscore Alli and Coutinho over the next 2 IMO

      Hold

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Williams - McAuley - Pieters (Yoshida, Amat)
    Sanchez - Eriksen - Coutinho - Phillips (De roon)

      Defence is hideous

  10. mranonymous

    Does hitting WC automatically wipe hits taken earlier this week?

    1. A.T
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Only time will

      Yes, yes it does

    Someone on here told me all price changes happen at once.... Kane's gone up to £11m tonight without other players changing???

  12. boombaba
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Giroud likely to be out for long ?

  13. Mayo for Sam
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Who to bench out of these next week

    Sanchez, Hazard, Lalana, Stanislas, Philips
    Ibra, Kane, Defoe

    Think it's between
    A Phillips (Sun)
    B Stanislas (Wat)

    Who are the must haves.

    Im WC'ing to force a change. 1,600,000th in the world is upsetting.

    Foster / Jaku

    Jones / Alonso / Brunt / Williams / Lovren

    Sanchez / Alli / Pedro / Phillips / De Roon

    Lukakau / Ibra / Giroud

    I need some help. Cuddle me.

    Good day mates!

    Is it wise to trade off Alli for Coutinho for week 22 onwards?

    Hi guys!

    I'm getting kinda confused for game 23 (31st Jan - 1st Feb) & 24 (4th Feb - 5th Feb). Does this means we'll be having a double gameweek?

    Thank you

    Cheers!

    would you sell s.ward+niasse for DCL and masuaku for -8?
    this are just benchers not first 11. because im suspecting big rotation on my first 11 coming up. so i need a 2 playing bench to support.

    yay or nay?
