The ScoutCast – Episode 216 – Confessional

I am a Fantasy Football manager, and I’m addicted to double Gameweeks. It’s a confession that the ScoutCast team are all too eager to admit in this latest ScoutCast episode.

Recorded prior to the confirmation of the first double Gameweek of the season, we were nonetheless correctly counting our chickens and allowing your multitude of community questions on Manchester City assets to steer the chatter.

Granville rejoined Jonty, Andy and myself to reinforce our investigation in Pep’s charges and to add his views to the heated Triple Captain debate surrounding Sergio Aguero. Yes, him again.

This 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.

    I actually first took the Allen (TC) as a joke, but if you really think about it...its a really good differential option! Cheers COSTA'S COUNSELLOR, brilliant idea! mate!

    Play Foster (CRY) over Heaton (swa)?

    1. Simon Says...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Foster probably.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years

      Yes.

        Netley. I have something you may be interested in if you mail me on ian-cox@hotmail.co.uk

            Yes Netley would definitely be missing out if he didn't respond

          Please get back to me about my refund. The blowup doll you sold me has a rash.

          Okay mate, give me a minute...

    3. suddenorgan
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Burnley's away form should decide that for you

  4. suddenorgan
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    if I'm not going to captain Sterling, does Alli -> Siggy instead make more sense?

    1. Peggi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      get sterling this week and ship for Siggy next if you can

      I like your gravatar btw, great album

  5. SALVA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen, Mane -> Sterling, KDB
    next week
    Sterling, KDB -> Siggy, Coutinho/Mane/Firmino

    Then I have 8 starters for GW28.

    What do you think?

    Allen TC is a fantastic move. Playing in the 10, extra point per CS and per goal. Hope Mark doesn't mention him on the FPL Show, this is going to be a game changer. Noticed that TM bought him in last night.

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Yeah! Don't want to official fpl twitter account to give out this secret!

  7. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on having Kun, Sterling and Sane?

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Worth it if you can do it for a -8 or less. But Allen is all the craze today .....

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Citeh's front 3? Yeah, why not?

    Anyone else riding it out without sergio? His game time and also ability to pick up a knock puts me off. Would much rather be sat here Monday wil TC in tac and feeling smug no?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Have you assessed his minutes since Jesus got crocked?

      1. Ivanov Itch
        • 12 Years

    2. Pigsinblankets

  9. Jebiga

    Atletico Madrid have tweeted that Fernando Torres has left hospital after sustaining a head injury while playing on Thursday.
    Atletico said his scans have come back clear and there are no signs of traumatic injury, so he's been sent home.

    would you guys do anything different here? already used FT to bring in siggy trying to make gw28 look a bit better for myself.

    Foster
    Baines Walker Pieters
    Sterling (C) Mane Siggy Barkley
    Kane Costa Benteke

    pick, phillips,holebas, amat

  14. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years

    Hows does this look for the weekend? Already on (-4) with 2 mill in the bank.

    Grant
    Alonso Baines Brunt
    Mane Sterling Siggy Phillips
    Lukaku Ibra Aguero(TC)

    Pickford; Fletcher, Chambers*, Amat*

    *Injured/not playing.

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Could do Phillips to Sane (-8) but that would take away one player from playing GW28...

  15. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Yoshida to Stones isn't worth a -8 is it?

    Would play Stones instead of Coleman.

  16. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    think most ppl here are planning to ship out aguero after the dgw but what happens if he runs riot, gets plenty of minutes etc? does he become essential even with a tough 3 fixtures after? Keeing him throws plans to get sanchez back up in the air.....

  17. Ivanov Itch
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Phillips in the starting line-up in case he plays, who's best 1st sub?

    a) Zaha
    b) Fletcher

    Thanks!

    1. Kavorka
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      zaha

  18. VirusintheMind
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Llorente + Sane for Costa + Philips and a -8...??

    Only If Philips is injured...good move?

  19. Artemon
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is either of these worth it?

    a) Alli to Sterling (-4)

    b) Allie to Sigurdsson (-4)

    Already captaining Aguero

    1. Kavorka
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      maybe.. but get siggy if you do the the transfer

    2. Peggi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A, only worth it if you haven't already taken a hit this week

  20. Super Pav

    7 years, 1 month ago

    GW27 — Kane + Courtois > Aguero + Grant for -4pts

    Courtois(whu)
    Pieters(MID,mci), McAuley(CRY), Olsson(BUR)
    Mane(ARS), Pedro(whu), Siggy (BUR), Phillips(cry)
    Lukaku(tot), Kane(EVE), Ibra(BOU)(c)
    // Subs: Jaku, Baines, Stanislas, Amat

    — Do you think that's enough coverage without destroying my team for GW28?

    GW28 — Pieters > Hull or Whu defender
    Jaku (SWA)
    Baines(WBA), Olsson(hul), McAuley(eve), Hull/Whu def, Amat(hul)
    Mane(BUR), Siggy(hul), Stanislas(WHU), Phillips(eve)
    Lukaku(WBA)
    // Subs: Grant, Pedro, Ibra, Aguero (all blanks)

  21. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Good to go?

    Heaton
    Alonso Baines Robertson Ferandez
    Sterling Mane Siggy
    Ibra Aguero(TC) Lukaku

    Bench: Pickford De Roon Friend Antonio

    Would you play De Roon ahead of any the defs?

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Gtg - would play De Roon and benched Robertson

  22. GE
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A, B or C?

    A) Play Robertson/Phillips
    B) Do Phillips -> Sane for a hit (means keeping both Sterling and Sane in GW29 against Liverpool)

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No C 😉 just A or B 😉

  23. George James
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Who are Arsenals likely opponents in the GW34 DGW?

  24. Judders
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Play Foster(CPA) or Lloris (EVE H)?
