The ScoutCast – Episode 221 – Spurred

2,483 Comments

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.

      There will be absolute consternation on here if he does . If he blanks and Lukaku gets a haul then I'm doomed.

      That's the thing with Kane, if he doesn't do the business, Alli and Eriksen will. With Lukaku, if he doesn't perform, Everton likely loose. I own both, but going Lukaku (C)

      1) Barragan, or Chambers if Agnew has said he's fit - you wouldn't play them this week anyway so if Chambers is OK (dk if he can play against us anyway as parent club) I'd have him sit on the bench a week then play DGW
      2) Grant probably.

          Llorente probably won't play 90 and has no form. BOU have a great offensive team and score plenty of goals. King is usually at the center of them and is seemingly fixture proof. Spurs may start with two second choice full backs. Will also be pressure to start Son and the other three attacking players, leaving less cover at CDM. Spurs failed to keep some expected CS recently. I fancy BOU to score like i always do. You wouldn't bench Kane, Aguero, Sanchez etc. when they have a tough fixture. Kings price is likely to sky rocket next year. Easy decision imo

        I don't know if I do or not, hence the poll. If Ibra scores 1 in each game, which isn't unreasonable, then he should get around 18 points which is 54 with TC.

        The flipside is that he may not play both games and he United are hardly in goal scoring form

    What was said about Maguire yesterday? If Valencia is out, I'm kind of relying on Maguire to play...

    Is dropping Sanchez to get Kane a no brainer with a wildcard left?

      I was debating it but dropped sterling for a -4 instead.

      Sanchez can explode at any time

    Grant or Pickford this week? Both at home but both teams in reasonably poor form. Pickford may get some save points though.....
