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.

    Who would you rather have for GW 27, Kane or Costa?

      Akways Kane in a one off game.

        Thanks
        Just trying to figure out who I'm going to ditch for Aguero If DGW happens.

          I'm not saying Kane will definitely outscore him, just that Kane is capable of a haul, Costa not so much, though he is consistent with decent returns.

      Best to check how he does without Alli now he wont play

        Is Ali banned?
        Didn't think his red card affected PL?

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He will be banned for Spurs' next European games - not Premier League.

              Obviously the ban won't kick in for a while...

    What do you think about this plan? πŸ™‚

    GW26: Rose -> Robertson (-4) to have 11 players this GW.

    GW27: Stanislas and Lukaku -> Siggy and Aguero (-4)

    GW28: Aguero -> Lukaku (9 players playing)

    GW29: Mane/Haz -> Sanchez

    My team:
    (0 FT, 3.7 itb)
    Jaku (Heaton)
    Coleman/Baines/Brunt/Chambers* (Rose*)
    Haz/Mane/Alli/Phillips (Stanislas)
    Kane/Lukaku (Diomande)

    1. karvs155
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good!

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      All good!

    3. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm with you up to 29, where I'm planning to ditch Brunt, 30 ditch an Everton def, 31 Alexis back. That's my thinking

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Like it! Brunt's fixture is out of control from GW29!
        I'm afraid of waiting for Sanchez so maybe taking a hit before GW29 and do Brunt and Haz/Mane -> Max 5.4 def and Sanchez?

  3. karvs155
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    What is most important:
    A) Having Mane over next two GWs
    B) Having Ibra (BOU), and Firmino/Coutinho instead of Mane

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Would go B with Firmino

  4. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    *WARNING*

    I have never had a Lukaku haul in five seasons of playing. Just 100% troll action.

    Bringing him in this evening.

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No πŸ™ shame on you πŸ˜‰

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I expect a 2 pointer as I have captained him.

      Would love to captain Costa instead.

    3. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Same here buddy

  5. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts ?
    Before GW27(if City have DGW):

    A. Costa Dele to Kun Siggy
    B. Dele DeRoon to Siggy Sterling
    C. Dele Costa to Kun Sterling

    Also have Ibra and Kaku
    Cheers !

    1. karvs155
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A I think, unless Costa goes crazy this gw, then maybe B

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks, I'm thinking the same πŸ˜‰

    2. GE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      C and then Sterling -> Siggy before GW28.

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        This is kinda interesting, I've been also thinking about Kaku to Kun instead of Costa but maybe too much transfer and cash wasting with bringing him back before GW28 again

        1. GE
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I am doing Aguero -> Lukaku before GW27 and then back again in GW28 (see my plan above). What do you think about my plan?

          1. Atimis
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            It depends how much value you have in Kaku, wouldn't like to lose much on transfering in and out week by week but I consider doing it myself Kaku Dele to Kun Siggy than Kun to Kaku, hard choice, we should monitor for now

            1. GE
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              I bought him at 9.8 and is now 9.9 so will only lose 0.1. Like your moves - could be a good plan to do Alli -> Siggy as in your plan, for me more important to get rid of Stanislas.

              1. Atimis
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                So you are GTG with Kun Kaku gamble and yah, Stan would be my priority to sort out

    Not sure what to do with my ft. 4.5m ITB

    Forward line of Ibra - Lukaku - Carroll

    Any suggestions?

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Would save the money to do Lukaku -> Aguero before GW27

      1. THEKID_88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Even with the Carroll injury & Ibra not playing?

  8. Sz21

    GTG?
    Heaton.
    Alonso, Walker, Funes Mori, Brunt,
    Siggy, Snodgrass, Phillips, Mane.
    Kane (vc), Lukaku (c).
    Pickford, Whelan, Ibra*, Amat*.

    0ft, 3.4m

    Possibly Aguero in for Lukaku next GW but just 7 players for GW 28 atm I think?

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Good team - good to go. You could reverse in GW 28 and do Aguero -> Lukaku?

    2. Cookie Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      You've got 8 so far which is decent

  9. Joggers Nipple
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Think all my choices boil down to this

    A Firminio and the cash to make Lukaku to Aguero
    B Mane and would get Man C mid for Alli for their (?) double

    Thanks for any A/B's

    Any Chelsea attackers worth a hit? Possibly madness but I'm worried about only having Alonso...

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'm not getting any.

        I excitedly await Christina's response to this one...

        1. Epic Fail

          He can't respond with his mouth full.

          1. Pasqualinho
            • 14 Years

            He always has one hand free for typing.

      2. Tomcooper9
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Realistically it would involve taking alli or Eriksen out which I don't think is worth it.

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Costa probably is if you captain him. Otherwise not.

      1. Tomcooper9
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah Costa would be my first choice given his record against Swansea, current strikers are Lukaku, Ibra and Barnes. Don't think I'm prepared to take Ibra out for a hit when il want him next week.

    3. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think so.

      As always depends who you're getting rid of etc. I only have Alonso and not TOO worried.

      1. Tomcooper9
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers Andy. Realistically it would be Alli or Eriksen for a Chelsea mid, Or Ibra for Costa.

    4. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Alonso best chelsea attacker to have

    5. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If you're taking a hit it has to be for a Man City player.

      1. Tomcooper9
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I think I will wait for next GW to get in Sterling and Aguero for the DGW

  11. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    My keepers are
    Heaton Pickford

    If Pickford back in side and given Burnley fixtures is Heaton to Jakupovic worth a transfer for rest of season ? Would release some value.

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

    Decent moves?

    GW26: Cech, Sanchez & Ibra -> Jaku, Mane & Lukaku (-8)
    GW27: Alli & Benteke -> Siggy & Aguero (-4)
    GW28: Sterling -> Firmino

    Means 11 & 9 starters in GW26 & GW28 respectively & WC preserved

    Pickford
    Coleman, Brunt, Nyom
    Eriksen, Alli, Capoue
    Benteke, Carroll

    Cech, Valencia, Amat, Sanchez, Sterling, Ibra
    Bank 0.1m, 1FT

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Obviously a lot of hits which isn't ideal but the moves look solid, bringing in decent players in all cases. I'd say yes.

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      You have been browbeaten mate.

      Use the wildcard. That's what it's for. πŸ™‚

      The moves look OK if you are set on saving it but the opportunity to lose Pickford, Amat and Capoue for Grant, Maguire/Robertson and Carroll for example would mean you'd already be getting 24 points of value even before you started making strategic tweaks.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        This is a great point.

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

        Thing is, would you WC this week or next? Kind of makes more sense this week, but that would mean my bench would probably need to be all MCY & STO, which isn't ideal with TOT/CHE having a decent fixture and the likes of SWA having a tough one this week. What would your WC squad look like?

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Roughly:

          Jakupovic Grant
          Coleman Maguire Chambers/Prödl Fernández/Mawson Brunt
          Snodgrass/Antonio Mané/Firmino King Markovic/Sigurdsson Sané/Sterling
          Aguero Costa Lukaku

          Would be an inefficient front-8 but only temporarily. That would be a wildcard for this week and the transfers over the next weeks would fall into place pretty well from that starting point.

  13. MGD

    When is the best time to WC?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Use in prep for the double gameweeks imo

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    7 years, 2 months ago

    Gooooooood morning all!

    Been having a think about whether to do Lukaku to Aguero in 27 and then Aguero to Lukaku in 28 or just to ship Ibra instead.

    The Lukaku move costs 4 extra points so even if Ibra scores a hat trick it's an 11 point loss if we assume Lukaku only gets 2 points. If he gets any attacking points that loss is lessened even more.

    For anyone in this situation which way are you thinking?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Think you have answered your own question Andy.

      I know you are very attached to Ibra (as am I) but if you think logically keeping Rom and ditching Zlatan seems to be better for your team.

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

      Morning Andy,

      I'd just ship Ibra (doing it myself) - the reason to keep him was for the armband next week, but now Aguero has a DGW, he's the captain next week. Looking to bring Ibra/Kane back in for Lukaku around GW30 myself

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

        What do you think to my moves above? Quite a few hits but I think probably worthwhile given my squad...

        1. andy85wsm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          It looks decent enough after a quick look

      2. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah no longer giving Ibra the armband is also a big factor why he is less essential.

    3. mad_beer βœ…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I think keeping a person for 1 week isn't a wise idea.

      Ibra out!

    4. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'd ship Ibra

      1. Pocky
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I'll be doing the Aguero - Lukaku hokey cokey or Aguero in for Lukaku in 27 then Lukaku in for Ibra in 28, either way, Ibra stays in my team for Bou (H).

        1. Pocky
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Just looking at the fixtures, the Lukaku - Aguero hokey cokey looks favourite for me. That way Ibra will stay for 29 MID (A) & 30 WBA (H) as opposed to Aguero's 29 LIV (A) & 30 ARS (H).

          1. andy85wsm
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            But you could do Aguero to Ibra in 29

            1. Qubit
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Or indeed to Kane.

              1. Pocky
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                I'm looking at Ibra to Kane after 30. (already have Walker & Ali so I'm semi covered there)

            2. Pocky
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              OK, The Lukaku - Aguero hokey cokey will use 2 transfers. The Lukaku to Aguero to Ibra will also cost me 2 transfers, albeit over 3 weeks...so it boils down to which GW27 fixture do I prefer Ibra v Bou (H) or Lukaku to Spurs (A).

    5. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Objectively there are more points likely from Lukaku to Aguero to Lukaku. That's the ideal and is what I am working on. But even if I do that it costs me one hit at worst, maybe none (depending on whether I want to field 9 or 10 in GW28).

      If it meant 2 hits it would become more debatable. There is also some TV loss to consider (I bought Lukaku at 9.4m so might lose 0.2m/0.3m). On the other hand it would mean Zlatan being in place already in GW29 and that would be an advantage, especially with (probably) 2 DGWs to come.

      I don't think it's clear cut to be honest. But I still like the idea of Zlatan v Bournemouth even if I don't captain him and that swings the balance for me.

    6. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      G'morning all

      I still want Ibra v BOU whether armbanded or not, so I'm doing the Kaku-cokey myself. I would also sooner have Ibra than Kun going forward.

      Aguero has 1 (only one) week with good fixtures. No pens, gametime risk, as ManC still in fa cup and cl.
      Lukaku>>Aguero and Aguero>>Lukaku with Aguero(c)-Ibra(vc) in gw 27 makes perfect sense. Lukaku has Spurs away and Ibra fixtures post gw28 are great.
      I see Aguero as one week cap punt. Can consider him from gw31 again, if in form and not being suspended.

    Probability that Lukaku raises to 10.0 before GW27?

    Can't afford Lukaku -> Aguero in GW27 and Aguero -> Lukaku in GW28 if so πŸ™

    For the last 3 nights before I have gone to bed I have intended to transfer out Sanchez and forgot. Somehow he hasn't dropped in price. I think it's a sign!

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I've been waiting all week as his next drop is immaterial to me. But the GW deadline will mean I need to make the transfer. I'm probably not alone.

      1. mad_beer βœ…
        • 9 Years

        I feel like this is the season defining transfer.

        So nervous.

  17. Blue Gaffer

    Need to make a transfer to field an XI.

    1.Jones-----Maguire/Holebas
    2. Sanchez----Mane/Hazard
    3. Zlatan------Kane/Costa

    Current team:

    Jakupovic, Hennessey
    Brunt, Alonso, Coleman, Jones (!), Holgate (!)
    Alli, Sanchez (!), Snodgrass, Phillips, Sigurdsson
    Lukaku, DeFoe, Ibrahimovic (!)

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Please don't bring in Holebas.

      I'd be looking at Sanchez to Mane personally.

      Otherwise Jones to Maguire (Robertson would be my preference).

  18. mahone24

    Morning guys.

    Foster
    Brunt, Baines, Alonso
    Phillips, Antonio, Sigurdsson, Mane, Clayton
    Lukaku, Kane

    subs: Heaton --- Ibrahimovic*, Jones*, Holgate* --- 1 FT, 3.7 ITB

    Jones -> Robertson or any better ideas what to do with this lot?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      You can get 11 out so maybe wait until next week when you know what is happening with Man City ?

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Jones -> Robertson would give me additional GW28 player which I'll need more regardless what will happen to City. Could ofc save a FT.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          GW27 Jones > Stones (if DGW), GW28 Stones > Robertson ... gives you 3 games over 2 weeks?

          1. Jam0sh
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            I think I don't fancy City defence for that double.

            GW26: Jones -> Robertson
            GW27: Kane -> Aguero (possibly Phillips -> Sterling for a hit?)
            GW28: Sterling -> player who plays on 28

            This would give me 9 players on GW28 assuming Holgate does not play

            1. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Maybe just concentrate on getting Aguero GW27 Captain and GW28 defence

    When are the DGWs expected to happen?

    Thanks

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Why you asking us. No one had a clue that city could get one next week

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cos there was some talk earlier in the season about 34 and 36 or something like that.

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          34 and 37 midweeks are currently free of CL/PL/Intl matches - there should be a bit of rescheduling here.

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Is there any team that won't get a DGW this season Pasq? As things stand that is.

            1. Smurf
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Swansea, Hull, Everton, West Brom, West Ham, Bournemouth, Liverpool and Burnley.

              1. Jafooli
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                So as it stands likely none of these teams will get a DGW this season.

                Right GW29 is overhaul time, ditching WBA, Everton and Swansea players.

                Cheers Smurf.

              2. Pasqualinho
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                These mainly - although Bournemouth/Burnley might still get one if their GW34 opponents are in the Cup Semis, and these matches aren't rescheduled for the same week.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      34 and big one in 37

  24. Scab
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Forced to play Phillips and Fletcher this GW but maybe its worth upgrading one for a punt? 3.5 ITB

    Other mids are Mane Antonio Siggy

    1. Rhinos

      Get sterling next week surely

  25. Emp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    A). Coutinho (lei) , (ARS)
    B) Siggy (che), Sterling (sun, STO)

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

      Sterling short term
      Siggy for beyond those fixtures

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Think you need to include gw 28 in this. Coutinho (BUR), Sterling (blank).

  26. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years

    What would you rather have?

    A. GW26 Kane, GW 27 Agureo (& Costa) and GW28 have 9 players
    B. GW26 Capoue, GW27 Ibra (& Costa), GW28 have 11 players
    C. GW26 Capoue, 27 Ibra and do Costa> Agureo, GW28 9 players

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

      A

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Tough
      B or C.
      Leaning towards B as most in ffs will not have 11 playing in gw28 including myself.

  27. ChelseaGuy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Getting in Firmino for Stanislas
    Any better option upto his price? (Have Siggy)

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sane, Sterling ? maybe Barkley as a cheaper option ?

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

        Cash not an issue
        I'd get Sane/Sterling for Eriksen next GW
        Maxed out on Everton slots

  28. GE
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Play Robertson (Burnley home) or Chambers (Crystal Palace away)?

    Already playing Jaku.

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

      I'd spread the risk
      But Robertson has assist potential so him

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Good point πŸ™‚ like Robertson ahead of Chambers, but more difficult between Jaku and Heaton.

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'd double.

      Imagine the sense of achievement you will get if you have a double Hull cleansheet.

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        That's truth πŸ˜‰ go for the glory πŸ™‚

      2. Pazdannavaro
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I am playing double. Looking for cs myself. Hull looks solid in defence and Burnley showing poor form away. Palace has grat offensive potential, so may knick a goal or two.

        Nice idea. Instead of shaking your left leg all about, you hurl it in an elliptical orbit around the sun. Could catch on.

      When you have already a full squad for gw28, when nothing bad happens and no hits neeeded, I think its good strategy.
      Its all about points after all.
      Some are getting them by avoiding hits, some are maximising the chances to catch possible hauls bearing the costs. No additional points for saving the transfer.
      Simple as that.

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Lukaku Costa or maybe even Kane are best options

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years

        I started on Lukaku, then Costa, and currently on Kane πŸ˜†

      Lukaku. Simple.
