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.

    Is Aguero to Kane worth a hit for this week?

    1. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      No, I think Kun will get more minutes

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

      could work if you captain him too but it's risky for a hit

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

      No.

    4. Team Bobcat

      Could backfire also. A lot of "coulds" to think about

        1. ROSSI_7

          For who?

          1. Gazj11
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 26 days ago

            Valencia > cheap def & Vardy > Kane

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

          Valencia rotation risk but if someone has him already than probably keep.
          Vardy > KAne is obvious one

          1. StoichkovFPL
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 26 days ago

            and walker > Boro def

          2. Make Arrows Green Again

            Agree

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

        Valencia and Vardy to Kane and Rojo.

        1. Wetdream
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          He has 3 spurs

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 26 days ago

            Walker instead of Valencia then.

      4. Wetdream
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Grant to Hennessey Vardy to Benteke ? Or just the Benteke move this week and roll the other transfer.

      5. IRBOX ⚽

        Son > Zaha, Vardy > Kane

        A or D

        I can't understand how people consider Alli essential and Eriksen disposable

        Kane vs Bou is a nice one but not for a hit so do it next week.

        • 11 Years

        He had better and get a clean sheet and an assist.

        1. Gazj11
          • 9 Years

          Trippier played well last week though.

      2. Still Unsure
          7 years, 26 days ago

          As an owner, it's a big worry. Just keeping my fingers crossed.

        Bottomed.

        Pls help me out here...

        A. Ibra -> Lukaku (C) for a hit, meaning another hit next GW to bring Ibra back so -8.

        B. Son, Origi, Aguero -> Kane (C), Lukaku, De Roon -12

        2. Dosh
          • 10 Years

          Don't sell Aguero

        3. The Man Pastore
          • 9 Years

          none

      4. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        After that what Mourino said about Valencia I'm almost sure that he won't play both games in DGW.
        That changes my plan for DGW34 players.

      5. BilalM
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Struggled to get Sanchez/Ibra/Kane in.
        But how is this WC team

        Pickford | Valdes
        Jagielka |Yoshida | Stones |Cathcart |Kelly
        Sanchez | Eriksen | Zaha | Sterling | Redmond
        Ibra | Kane | Niasse

        1. StoichkovFPL
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          must be low TV or a lot itb

          1. BilalM
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 26 days ago

            Low team value. I was guilty of leaving players like Amat and Allen for a long time.

            0.2itb

        2. Tomcooper9
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          Sterling possible rotation risk with FA cup game coming up. Man City also don't keep many clean sheets but guessing Stones is there due to the DGW37. On the whole looks decent though - no Lukaku might hurt you.

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

          Sterling to Alli.

          You can get the cash by switching Jags and one of your other defenders to Holgate and Stephens.

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

          Pickford - Hennessey
          Holgate - Yoshida - Rojo - Barragan - Davies
          Sanchez - Eriksen - Sterling - Zaha - King
          Lukaku - Kane - Niasse

          Upgrade Kane or Lukaku to Ibra next week.

          1. BilalM
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 26 days ago

            Thanks! These are great suggestions!

      6. Vinyl78LP

        7 years, 26 days ago

        Anderlecht leveller will nail Ibra to start 2nd leg thus diluting his chances of starting both in the dgw ? no?

        1. VS10_
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          Ibra isn't the United player I would worry about getting a rest yet. Maybe in a couple of weeks.

        2. Delhidynamo
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          their attacking threat is minuscule without him. lifts the whole team

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

          Who knows ? He only recently had a 3 game rest so surely has to keep match fitness up ?

        WC team below. Thoughts?

        Hennessy Pickford
        Rojo Gibson Davies Holgate Stephens
        Hazard Alli Sanchez Coutinho Zaha
        Lukaku Kane Anichebe

        Any suggestions welcome - thanks!
        (1.2 ITB so enough to get Ibra next GW).

          Nice team

            • 9 Years
            7 years, 26 days ago

            Thanks. I did have Sane and Baily but changed back to Coutinho (and meant had to get Rojo to be able to afford Ibra next GW). Coutinho currently the better option over Sane?

            1. diesel001
              • 7 Years

              Yes for mw

          Nice team
          I'm looking for a nailed ManU defender too. Is Rojo the one? Bailey?

          1. Demel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 26 days ago

            I have owned Rojo before he was fashionable. He is nailed on and a bap magnet. What isn't to like?

            1. Tomcooper9
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 26 days ago

              Didn't realise he attracted BAPS? good to know!

          2. Tomcooper9
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 26 days ago

            Would go for Bailly if I could (see comment above). Think Bailly and Rojo are quite safe though.

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

          Anichebe to Negredo or Orighi. Even Barnes is an upgrade.

          1. Tomcooper9
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

            • 9 Years
            7 years, 26 days ago

            Thanks mate. Taken a lot of deliberation/over thinking this week. Think Coutinho is a better option than Sane?

      8. Sweetboi
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Will 2 of Valencia, Maguire and Barragan play this GW?

        1. ameenkw
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          yes i reckon

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

          Maguire and Barragan will so yes

      9. J.Litmanen
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Not sure at all what to do with this team. Walker is bothering me, and somehow I want to get Kane in.

        Grant (Jakupovic)
        Walker Alonso Valencia (Kingsley Holgate)
        Sanchez Alli Coutinho Son (De Roon)
        Llorente Lukaku Costa

        if I want to trade Costa to Kane, I need to downgrade a defender, probably Walker since he doesn't seem to be nailed anymore? Or Maybe trade Son....not sure.

        1FT, 0.1 ITB

        1. Gazj11
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          Thinking the same as you. Walker > Ward & Costa > Kane??

        2. greghammer95
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          It's easy. Walkers got to go as a rotation risk and taking up your third spurs spot. Then once we see what's going on with Son then you can get rid in a couple of weeks.

        3. StoichkovFPL
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          keep Son for at least one more game.
          Walker > Boro def for me

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

        Best move here?
        2FT, 1.1m ITB. WC and BB left

        Pickford
        Alonso, Valencia, Holebas
        Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, King
        Ibra, Lukaku, Carroll

        Heaton, Mawson, Fletcher, Evans

        A. Carroll to Benteke and save (Heaton + Evans to Valdes + Boro def next week)
        B. Sanchez + Carroll to Zaha + Kane (Evans to Boro def next week)

        Listening to the scoutcast and those getting rid of Lukaku. GW34 is a plum fixture for him. He's a flat track bully Vs West Ham. Home or away. He will score.

        Finger hovering over Siggy to Zaha. Will be doing it next week regardless but thinking Zaha will outscore Siggy this week.

        I've not seen Siggy's underlying stats though. Has he got a haul pending at Watford?

          No. Zaha is a better pick IMO.

            What about for a hit? Could do with the ML differential as rival is 6 points ahead and also has Siggy. Plus as I said getting him in for a hit next week anyway as also doing lukaku to Ibra.

              I think over the 2 weeks Zaha will outscore Siggy. Leicester likely to make changes too due to CL. So -4 worth it IMO.

                Think I agree. Cheers Deez

        Is getting rid of Valencia worth a hit?

        Costa to Kane for -4?

        Would mean downgrading baines to Gibson in prep for dgw but he's been poor lately.

        1. StoichkovFPL
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          It could work. And captain him.

        Still stuck here. Is this worth it (-4) or save?

        Barnes to Lukaku

        Pickford

        33: Origi Sanchez Davies >
        Kane(c) Zaha 5.4 DGW defender (-8)
        34: Aguero Smith > Ibra DGW defender (-4)
        Gives me 5 DGW players (inc Valencia).

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years

          Too many hits involved I think. I'd do a straight Origi to Ibra and sacrifice Sanchez

        Who would be the best 1 week midfield punt for DGW 34?

        Wildcarding in 35.

        My budget is 8.5. Already have Zaha, Ibrahimovic, Gibson as dgw players.

        A) Pogba
        B) Traore
        C) Townsend
        D) Gaston Ramirez
        E) Any other

        TIA! Cheers.

        Any advise with this team, it's Spurs heavy but can't bring myself to get rid of any of the 3.

        Pickford - Grant
        Mawson - Alonso - Valencia - Brunt - Maguire
        Siggy - Eriksen - Alli - Tadic - Grosicki
        Aguero - Carroll - Kane
