The ScoutCast – Episode 215 – Disclaimer

A minor disclaimer: this episode of the ScoutCast we recorded prior to the earth-shattering revelation that Manchester City could enjoy two fixtures in Gameweek 27. This therefore renders the full 70 minutes as totally irrelevant, with the content and advice offered within both useless and ill-informed. However, as this hasn’t stopped folk listening in the past, we’re putting it out there anyway.

Before the intervention of the fixture computer, I was joined by Jonty, Andy and Az as, oblivious to what was to come, we stepped blindly into the breach to wrestle another round of community questions.

That ensured that the impending blanks dominated the discussion, gifting Jonty the opportunity to flaunt his enviable Gameweek 28 line-up, while discussing the merits of Chelsea, Liverpool and West Ham. Somewhat inevitably, pastry based goods also make an appearance.

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

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link or the first player below, or take in the full visual experience, pastry and all, via the second player below.

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

    Strongly considering WCing this week - thoughts on this draft?

    Jaku
    Coleman, Brunt, F Mori/Maguire
    Hazard, Mane, Firmino, Phillips, Siggy
    Costa, Lukaku

    Grant, Stones, Pieters, Crouch

    GW27: Haz & Costa -> Sterling & Aggy (-4)

    Gives a pretty solid 11 this week, 6 DGWers next week for a -4 and 10 starters in GW28 for no hits.

    If my team wasn't in such a mess I'd save the WC, but if not WCing now I'm looking at 12-16 points in hits over the next 2-3 weeks and my team wouldn't have a number of the explosive options above.

      Looks fine but something doesn't feel right about planning a hit straight after a WC

      What's your current team

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cech, Pickford
        Valencia, Coleman, Brunt, Nyom, Amat
        Sanchez, Sterling, Eriksen, Alli, Capoue
        Ibra, Benteke, Carroll

        Bank 0.1m, 1FT

        Looks like 7-9 starters this week (Pickford & Carroll the doubts) and currently 4 for GW28.

      I offered my rough draft earlier. I don't think you need hits afterwards.

        Cheers, just seen that. Not a million miles away from mine.

      Good thinking. Thought of Pedro instead of Haz?
      Also one less Everton defender thinking of GW27 fixture.

      Not sure I'd want any Stoke players for the DGW, even on a WC

    This City dgw got me doin' my head in - Thoughts on what i came up with?

    GW 26
    Jaku
    Luz - Baines - Nyom - Holgate
    Mane - Alli - Siggy - Phillips
    Kaku (C) - Kane

    Grant - T.Carroll - Ibra - Jones

    GW27 - Kane + Alli > Kun + Sterling (-4) - (3 dgw players)
    GW28 - Sterling > Firmino - (9 players playing)
    GW29 - Mane > Sanchez

    2FT, 0.6 ITB

    Heaton, Pickford*
    Cedric*, Coleman, Brunt, Friend*, Amat*
    Sanchez*,Hazard, Alli, Antonio, de Roon
    Kane, Lukaku, Carroll*

    Cedric, Sanchez > Clyne, Mane? Or you have any better idea what to do?

    Sorry if I'm a bit slow on the uptake, what's this about man city having a double soon? I can't see anything on the fixtures?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Double in 27 if they beat Huddersfield

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Alexis + Roon > Firmino + Coutinho 2FTs?

    How likely is it for Ibra to drop another 0.1 before gw starts??

  8. nevins84

    The next few weeks should shake up the rankings id say... currently at just over 1300.. im dreaming..

    Tempted to play TC in 27 if dgw is confirmed to kick on..

  9. balint84

    dropping Alli to Sigurdsson is a decent move?

  10. NachoMan

    I jumped on the bandwagon and bought in Mane and Maguire for Sanchez and Morgan (for free).

    Anything else worth a hit?

    Foster (Grant)

    Brunt, PVA, Coleman, Maguire (Amat)

    Eriksen, Phillips, Mane, Zaha, Capoue

    Kaku (c) (Kun, Ibra)

    Hi Guys,

    Need help, considering wildcarding:
    Current Team

    Cech/Grant
    Nyom / Dann / Alonso / Coleman / Amat
    Stanislas / De Roon / Ozil / Siggy / Antonio
    Kane / Ibra / Kakua

    The wild card would be for the below:
    Stanislas > Chadli
    De Roon > Markovic
    Ozil > Mane
    Dann > Fernandez
    Amat > Stones or Hull Defender or Stoke Defender
    Cech > Jakupovic

    The wild card would allow a straight swap of Kane to Aguero next round... any thoughts/comments would be appreciated

    Thoughts on my team please:

    Jaku
    Walker, Alonso, Coleman, McAuley
    Mane, Siggy, Alli, Stani
    Lukaku, Costa

    Bench: heaton, llorente, Sanchez, love

    0 FT.

    Good for gw 26,27,28?

    Thinking about:
    A: Walker+Stani --> Maguire+Lanzini
    B: Alli+Love--> Maguire+Lanzini

    thx
