The ScoutCast – Episode 221 – Spurred

Despite reeling from shedding Son Heung-min prior to his 19-point haul, I can’t avoid acknowledging that Spurs are currently the go-to source for Fantasy talent – particularly now that Harry Kane is back in our lives.

Jonty, Andy and Az join me for this week’s ScoutCast, which transforms into a tribute to Kane’s Gameweek 33 potential, with the striker enjoying a far different appraisal to his rival across north London – Alexis Sanchez.

With three successive blanks, the Chilean is burning many a Fantasy manager, and, once again we use the airwaves to vent our frustration.

Elsewhere, on the eve of the double Gameweek announcement, we chew over the offerings on show at Palace and Southampton, before rinsing through the weekend preview, with GreenWindmill keeping score.

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

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

    Benteke or Negredo for GW34?

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Benteke

    2. torshov_bulls
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Benteke. Boro do not score, period.

    3. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Tekkers, not sure what Negredos pitch time will be at the moment under temporary management situation.

    4. Dream Killers 2.0
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Benteke

    5. Orange Roughy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Tekkers. Worth getting in this week, Leicester are one of the top teams for headed shots conceded over the last four.

  2. Denis Tueart on the wing
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Is it worth getting rid of Carroll now, looks like his time on the pitch will be very limited according to Bilic, with Calleri sharing pitch time. That sounds like a half each, plus Carrolls' injury might not be over imo.

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Yes but who? I think hr will get time only if needed

      1. Denis Tueart on the wing
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        I have Benteke, so i'm stuck for a forward for this/next week with only 7.5M to spend

    2. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      then maybe consider keep for one more game no better alternatives. even negredo or gabbi have more tricky fixture

      1. Denis Tueart on the wing
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Thanks, do you think Gabbi will be fit enough to take part or even start this week

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          Coming on a as a substitute would be a valid guess i think, judging from Puels saying yesterday

  3. Halftime
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is Costa to Lukaku worth a -4 this week? Can't see him getting much at United.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Done Costa to Kane myself

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Yes especially if you captain him

    3. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Yed

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Costa hasn´t done anything wrong this season apart from some yellows, and we are selling like like drunken shipmen-) I have too, almost as if I having a soft sppot for the spaniard-) The ruthlessness of FPL-)

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        He was lucky to get his 8 pts against Bournemouth. Only 3 goals in his last 12 PL games.

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          just a sentimental song of the swans on my behalf-) Absolutely valid reasons for people selling

    5. Dirty Leeds
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Think Lukaku will do damage so go for it. I'm in the same situation but considering Costa to Zlatan...does it make any sense? Cheers

  4. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    G2g?

    Heaton
    Valencia Mustafi Jagielka
    Walcott Eriksen Alli Hazard Zaha
    Kane Lukaku

    Valdes Origi Gibson Yoshida

    Play Heaton or Valdes?

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Valdes. And I don't think Mustafi should be in your team tbh.

  5. KISSES
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Play Bailly or Gibson this weekend?

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Bailly

  6. Please Help I Don't Kn…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Valencia should play, right?

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Most def

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Dodgy. Jose has already said he is vulnerable to playing too many games.

    3. Exxtreme
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Prob not, if Mo is planning to have him playing EL

  7. George James
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Capoue >> Zaha -4

    Or

    Play Brunt?

    1. Orange Roughy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Get Zaha in. Should more than make up for the hit, and you know you're going to be tempted by some other DGW move next week

  8. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    I usually get some nice snippets of information from the scoutcast but this one, I must say I was a little disappointing. Most of the chat was about what we already know and i think more time should have been afforded on big hitter defenders who are getting rested and Liverpool assets which were forgotten due to single GW's. I hope it is taken in a good spirit.

  9. McQueen
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Holgate or Jagielka for free?

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Jiags

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Holgate

  10. Sotamendi84
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Do i get rid of origi or caroll to make way for kane?

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Caroll.

    2. McQueen
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Coin toss really, if you have Liv mid Origi, otherwise Carroll (even though its SUN this GW).

    3. Exxtreme
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Both r useless anyway

  11. La Vida Latte
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    A. Zaha and Kane

    Or

    B. Alli and Benteke?

    Thanks!

    1. Sané Mané Hap…
      • 7 Years

      A for me.

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years

    GW34 -any idea how do I get Ibra in my team for DGW?

  13. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Aguero against Yoshida and Stephens.. May just captain him

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      He is one of the good options indeed

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Thats my thinking too. Slow and not excactly world-class. This could be it-) Armband it is

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Grant may lose game time now Butland is back.

      Hennessey - Pickford
      Yoshida - Holgate - Bernardo - Vertonghen - Rojo
      Hazard - Alli - Eriksen - Zaha - King
      Lukaku - Kane - Ibrahimovic

  16. Park the bus

    C) Lukaku
    D) Aguero
    E) Other

    1. tibollom

      hesitating between A or C

    2. diesel001

      A

    3. Park the bus
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Lukaku, would be Kane if I had him though

    4. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Origi to Benteke for week 34? If yes do this week or wait a week? No other Liverpool players but have Zaha

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      I would do it this week, Leicester could not be in good shape after madrid mid week... Champions league hangover + Palace in good form & creating chances for Benteke, all he has to do is take a couple of those chances to get a good score, then he is into a DGW next week. He better deliver!

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Looking at this and leaving Kane. Not sure yet though

  24. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Good to go for weekend? Have played WC, but fairly well setup for BB in GW37, provided no injuries etc... Really banking on big wins & CS's for Palace & Spurs

    Heaton
    Alonso, Sakho, Alderweireld
    Haz, Zaha, Coutinho, Alli
    Kane (c), Lukaku, Benteke
    (Pickford, Yoshida, Gibson, King)

    1. tibollom
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      very good team mate - g2g..how will you get Ibra in for the DGW?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Thx.. I'm actually not planning on getting Ibra, not convinved he's worth the cash... Him, Aguero, Sanchez are the 3x big hitters who could really f me up in next few weeks if they hit form, but i'll take my chances!

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      I hope you know that Sakho wont play both games next week...

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        I totally forgot about that with the loan thing - thank you!! Must swap him to ward or maybe PVA if he's back...

      2. tibollom
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        yea not sure if tripling up on palace is a good idea - they may get nothing out of their DGW

    3. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Very good

      Looks fine

  26. Perthite
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    How do I work out how to get Kane in (for Llorente)?
    0.3m short, 0FT and have keeper issues next GW.
    Could gain cash by downgrading Mawson

    Foster^ Mannone
    Cedric** Gibson MacAuley^ Valencia** Mawson
    Alli Eriksen King Zaha** de Roon
    Ibra** Lukaku Llorente
    0FT 4.7m

    1. Perthite
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Oops de Roon** is a DGW next week too.

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Maybe Valencia downgrade

    3. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Yep downgrade Mawson or MacAuley to Holgate or Stephens - if that gives you enough?

  27. Concrete
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Davis to PvA or Ward
    Sanchez to Zaha
    Origi to Kane - 8 yes or no?

    Heaton Pickford
    Alonso Baines Davies Evans Amat
    Sanchez Sterling Alli Son Allen
    Aguero Lukaku Origi

    1. Perthite
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Not horrible trades. Trying to weigh up myself whether to take a 8pt hit this week, so not sure on my opinion on doing the trades.

  28. Clucas

    Morning All,

    Quick Question, Siggy or A Carroll?

      AC

      1. Clucas
        • 7 Years

        Thank you for your reply, do you still have your WC, when are you going to use your chips and whom to TC?

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Carroll

      1. Clucas

        7 years, 26 days ago

        Thank you for your reply Concrete, do you still have your WC, when are you going to use your chips and whom to TC?

    3. torshov_bulls
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Siggy, with Llorente back and against makeshift Watford defense. Doubt about Carroll's minutes?

      1. Clucas
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Thanks, I didn't hear nor read anything about Carroll's lack of fitness or any doubts surrounding his minutes on the pitch.

        Anyway, this is the last week I'm planning to use Siggy,

  29. FPL Alchemist
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    What should I do with this lot to prepare for next DGW.

    1Ft and 0.6m ITB

    DE GEA Jaku

    VALENCIA BERNARDO Yoshi Stephens Holgate

    Sanchez Ali Hazard ZAHA Walcott

    IBRA Aguero TEKKERS.

    I was happy just to go into DGW with DE GEA VALENCIA BERNARDO ZAHA IBRA & TEKKERS but thinking I'll need to change first 3 as rotation risk or should I just leave it. I could change Jaku for Pick and save next 2 ft for the Ars & Sou DGW.

    All suggestions appreciated.

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Just leave it imo save your FTs

    Valencia Alonso PvA Holgate
    Alli(VC) Sanchez Coutinho
