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.

    Fortunately, he’s a player who likes to touch the ball a lot.

    “He prefers to play wide than up front. He can get more of the ball. He has to keep the balance between providing and goalscoring.”

    -Wenger on Sanchez

      Stephens to Holgate IMO.

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

      It seems 1 player weak either up front or midfield.

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

      Rojo is a better pick than Bailley.

      1. Pedaso Pirates
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Because?

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

          Simple. Bonus points.

          1. Partick Bateman
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 26 days ago

            LF CB too? An additional boost to his nailed-on-ness.

          2. Pedaso Pirates
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 26 days ago

            Last 4 games 100 BPS Bailly, 78 BPS Rojo

          3. BadgersBoys
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 26 days ago

            Too much at risk from cards that eliminates his BPS potential

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

            Bailly has got 2 bonus in 3 of the last six matches. Rojo has only got 1 in the last match. Bailly scores better on BPS.

    4. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      IMO you need a City attacker for their two lush home fixtures in DGW 37. Kun (if Jesus doesn't return) or Sane.

    5. WVA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Baily > Rojo and your g2g, best one I've seen!

      1. Pedaso Pirates
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Why Rojo over Bailly?

    6. Bis_78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      May be a risk but Benteke for Origi. Liverpool have a good run and he should play with Mane out.

      1. FPL Panda
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Thanks lads. Why rojo over bailly may I ask ?

        Keeping benteke and zaha for the next 3 plum fixtures then getting gabbi for benteke for 35

  3. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Anyone else make their changes this morning only to realise there's no matches until tomorrow?

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

      I am off work and the team I support is playing today. It definitely feels strange not to be awaiting the deadline.

  4. The Left Duke #3
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Is my DF order good for this GW?

    Alderweireld Valencia Alonso (Brunt Holebas)

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Holebas instead of Valencia

    2. Clifford☯
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Yeah.

  5. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Is Siggy to Zaha worth 1FT. I also have Valencia and Walker who may not start

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Yes great move. Swansea are stinking again

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

      i did that move and have Valencia too!

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

      Valencia will start against Chelsea IMO.
      Watford's defence has a lot of injuries and was poor against Spurs last weekend. I would save.

    4. Junior ⚽
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Yep

  6. GE
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Who to play? 🙂

    1) Jaku (Stoke away) and Gibson (Arsenal home)
    2) Heaton (Everton away) and Robertson
    3) Jaku and Robertson

    (will play Sanchez and Walcott against Gibson)

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      I personally would avoid Walcott

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

        Would you play Gibson or Robertson instead?!

  7. Killitzer
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    good morning all

    Think I've had a brainwave for this week!
    Llorente + Sanchez --> Kane and Walcott (or Son)

    Current team:
    Jaku, Heaton
    Holgate, McAuley, Pieters, Valencia, Mee
    Sanchez, alli , king , zaha, Sterling,
    Lukaku , Kane , Kun

    1FT

    Cheers for any thoughts!

    1. Sp0rting
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Not too take with Wally.

      Then again, Son may also have a quiet game after his exploits last week.

  8. adriynwa
    • 7 Years

    Start 1 :
    A- Gibson ( Arsenal Home )
    B- Valencia ( Chelsea Home )

    If big Sam says he's fit to play in his presser, do we think pva is worth a hit?

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

      No

  10. FPL Virgin

    Sanchez likely to stay out left:

    Please hulk.

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

      Asking for a hulk is a bit desperate. Especially when their is a post further up which says the same thing.

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

        Just trying to help.

          So you can request the mods to hulk that post on top instead of yours 🙂

    2. Robben Mee Blind

      Cheers but link not wirking. Or maybe it's just me....

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

    Anyone think Walcott may be benched due to his comments after the Palace game?

    1. Gangster Panda
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      What did he say?

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

        That you could tell Palace wanted it from kick off, Wenger has said his comments were unacceptable.

        1. Gangster Panda
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          Naughty boy. Well I hope he plays, as I'm considering my AOA.

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

      And the fact he was awful, strong possibility

  12. Vinyl78LP
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Playing with a feasible dgw37 team, really want Haz,Kane,Sanchez,Alli,Kun based on the fixtures.

    six changes to my current squad gives me.. (*dgw)

    Grant
    Stones*, Bavies*, Yoshida*
    King, Zaha, Haz*, Sanchez*, Alli*
    Kun*, Kane*

    Jak, Nyom*, Holgate, Barnes
    £0.5m ITB (as of today) to improve keeper

    Decent side?, need to trickle them in each week due to no WC, Zaha and King have very good fixtures for a sgw.

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Rose will be back

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

      Looks good for now, hoping Jesus will be back though!

  13. Trust John
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Thoughts on these two options with two free transfers...

    A) Lanzini + Foster out - Hennessey + Zaha in

    B) A.Carroll + Firmino + Valencia + Foster out - Kane + Zaha + Yoshida + Hennessey in (-8pts)

    Have Aguero, Lukaku, Ali, Siggy + others at moment.

  14. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Guys,

    Im thinking of playing AOA this GW.

    Which 2 of these 3 would you play ?.(other 2 defenders injured)

    a) baines - home to burnley
    b) alonso - away to man u
    c) valencia - home to chelsea

    Tnks

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      A & B

    2. Gangster Panda
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      a) for sure, I expect Man vs Chelsea to finish goalless or 1:1 so either for the other.

  15. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Madness to play T.Davies instead of Costa?

    1. Gangster Panda
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Never heard of that one...It Must be Love.

      1. Gangster Panda
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        ...I'll get my coat.

  16. Phil Dagger ⭐

    Koscielny Back in Training Today 🙂
    Cech likely to return too

  17. Junior ⚽
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    GTG?
    Pickford (Heaton)
    Alonso / Walker / Pieters (Valencia Smith)
    Sanchez / King / Zaha / Alli (Carroll)
    Kane/ Carroll / Lukaku

    1. Junior ⚽

      4.3 ITB 0ft

    2. diesel001

      Yes

  18. GE
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Would loved to see a Lukaku-blank this week 🙂
    #Lukaku --> Kane

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

      So would i but cant see it

  19. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    What do we think about Mou's comments on Valencia?

    He clearly favours him so he's guaranteed to play in the Europa game. So if he's going to get rested for one of the DGW games is he worth ditching now?

    Fixture would be:

    CHE, bur OR mci, SWA, ars, tot (maybe sot too). Not great at all.

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

      If i had a spare tranafer I'd get rid but i don't

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

      It really is a tricky one. I have him and debating getting rid.. Can't be arsed with all the will he, won't he nonsense...

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Neither can I. I mean his fixtures are poor anyway and then if he's not going to start all the games (especially the double) he seems a wasted spot.

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

          Yep, that's my thinking also. I be already done my moves to bring Kane in but considering a hit to get Tony V out now. Possibly bring in another Utd player (Bailly) for DGW or Yoshida/PVA, something along them lines. But might stay away from Jose's boys altogether

  20. BadgersBoys
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Did Kane rise(in price

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      no.Still. at 11.3

    2. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      No. Well not last night anyway

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

        Thanks.

  21. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Start Valencia or Robertson.

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

      Valencia

  22. WVA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Pick
    Mustafi Valencia Vertongen
    Sanchez Eriksen Sane Pedro Zaha
    Ibra Kane(c)
    Valdes Benteke Stephens Britos
    G2g?
    Can't bench Pedro as rival has 3 Chelsea!

  23. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    my gw37 squad is laughable..........7 good ones, 8 gash 😆

    love to see what someone with big tv can do

    1. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Post the team

    2. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Decent TV hiking for something like this with BB

      Pickford Hennesy
      Alonso Luiz PVA Mawson Yoshi
      Haz Sanchez Alli Siggy King
      Kane Lukaku Anichebe

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

  24. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Best United defender to bring in.... Shaw?

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

      Bailly

    2. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Bailly probably the most reliable now

    3. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Bailly I think. None of them are safe though. DeGea?

    4. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Bailly

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

    Given Wenger's comments "he likes to play on the left" should Sanchez be dropped to get Kane in?

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      I have

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

      I've kept for this week. Still feel he can do damage on the wing against Middlesbrough. I have Kane though, so if getting rid of Sanchez was my only Kane enabler, then I'd go for it..

  26. Lazarus Star
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Done Vardy to Kane for triple Spir attack against Bournemouth but had t take a -8 hit to do it.

    Vardy > Kane
    B. Davies > PVA (to make Spurs space)
    Origi > Anichebe (for funds and 3,5,2)

    Leaves me

    Heaton (Foster)
    Alonso, Valencia, PVA* (Mawson, Maguire*)
    Alli, Erikson, Sanchez, Coutinho, King
    Kane, Lukaku (Anichebe)

    Valencia starting to worry me a bit. Tempting to WC early to set up for the DGWs.

    1. Lazarus Star
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      *Spurs

  27. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Has anyone come up with a decent wildcard team for gw36 to bb37?

    Unless you have an absolutely monster amount of money it's impossible have 15 dgw players from the main teams.

    No point loading up on Watford and wba players as fixtures are awful.

    Best I can do is 12dgw players plus lukaku king and holgate..anyone else feeling this?

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

      Yeah 12/13 is what i can get.

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

      Yep, feeling exactly the same. Toyed around with a few draft teams and with my TV, cant settle on a squad I like. Looking at around 11 DGWer's and 4 SGWer's on food form/fixtures.

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

        *good

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

          Lots of tickling over next few weeks....by them hopefully clearer on who to bring in...

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

    Pulis being coy as usual.

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

    Anyone have stats comparison of Sanchez on left vs up front?
