The ScoutCast – Episode 230 – Harried

Two Gameweeks down and already the dilemmas are building; the siren song of the Wildcard button is calling.

Failing big hitters are the major bone of contention as Jonty, Andy and Luke join me for the second ScoutCast of the season.

We give our verdicts on Spurs talisman Harry Kane, while also assessing the fall-out from Manchester City and, in particular, the shot-shy Kevin De Bruyne.

Driven by another round of community questions, we also chew over The Pogba vs Mkhitaryan debate and the big Bournemouth bail out, before previewing Gameweek 3.

Oh, and after his ten point return on the Aaron Mooy investment, we wrestle to prevent Jonty dropping his name into the conversation at every opportunity. I think I counted two. That’s a win for everyone involved.

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.

    A) Trippier, Hegazi, Mane, Chicharito
    B) Alonso, Dawson, Richarlison, Firmino

      fixtures favour A in short term, but close...Alonso great pick but maybe a bit later

      I prefer B

    To keep for the season, Daniels or Ake?

    1. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Ake

    2. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      For me it's Ake, not sure I've seen someone rack up BPS like him before. Daniels didn't seem to be bombing forward like he did last year in the last few games.

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Daniels, steady is steady

    4. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Ake's BPS baseline just about edges Daniels attacking threat I think.

    5. TorresMagic™

      Cheers everyone. 🙂

    6. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Ake

    7. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Neither. Better 5.0 options out there in Maguire, Keane, poss Jones

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Draft so probably taken.

      2. Sleep Talk
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Keane is definitely a better option, but unfortunately he's 5.5m

  3. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Wanna get Mkhitaryan, so need to downgrade either Kolasinac or Firmino...but which one ?

    A. Kolasinac to Lowe/Hegazi
    B. Firmino to Chicarito
    C. Keep Willian, don't get Mkh as his fixtures turn soon a bit trickier

    No Liverpool cover if B, but their fixtures are not that great short term...undecided, what's your pick of these ?

    Thanks.

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Willian poised to do well this week, but if you want to I'd go B knowing you'll want a pool asset soon enough.

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks...if wildcarding on gw 6/7 , can assess then who of them..Mane and Salah could be better picks than Firmino. Firmino need to be on penalties to justify his place in the team long term.

  4. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Van Der Saar (Howard)
    Rafael, Cole, Clichy
    Michu, Gerrard, Van Der Vaart, Lampard
    Odemwingie, Berbatov, Suarez

    Some of my favorite FPL assets over the years.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Odemwingie

      I'm lost for words

      1. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I just remember him ticking over nicely, scored 5-6 in a row one season and I was the only person in my ML with him haha

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          He cost me a mini league one year. My main rival had him across a horrible run of fixtures and he couldn't stop scoring. Instead of being smart and buying him as well, I was obstinate.

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Heaton
      Alexander Bale Lescott
      Michu Valencia McLean Siggy Bullard/Giovanni
      Zaki SantaCruz

    3. ObertanForehead
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Van Der Vaart was an absolute beast.
      I'd add Lambert(Soton), Caulker(3.9) and Siggurdson(Swansea)(the 1st time)

      1. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Caulker! What a throwback haha

    4. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Sorensen
      Cashley Vermaelen Vidic
      VdV Cabaye Lampard Milner
      Tevez RVP Carroll

    5. YankeeDoodleDandy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Love these teams. I'd add in:

      N'Zogbia
      Adebayor
      Dzeko

    6. lukebran
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Charlie Adam.

  5. AC Tomasso

    Hey guys, ant news on Tripper? Is he fit and nailed?

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Wait for pressers

    Hello everyone.

    For this week only, would you keep Jesus or Firmino?

    Thanks!

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      That's tough, Derby fan?

      1. There is always next GW
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Yes I am

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Did you go on in the mid 80's?

          1. There is always next GW
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Unfortunately too young. I had a season ticket for the last few years at the baseball ground though. Did you ever go?

            1. Netley Lucas
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Yeah, once... 3 Apr 1985, night match 😉

              1. There is always next GW
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 9 months ago

                Good man! Love a night game

                1. Netley Lucas
                  • 8 Years
                  6 years, 9 months ago

                  Millwall

    2. RIDZ
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I still keep Jesus for one last match.

      1. There is always next GW
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        That is what I was thinking but not sure if Pep will rotate

  7. marquinhos
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Play Ake this week? Or get in Hegazi/Jones for a hit?

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Play Ake. Even with a clean sheet you'd need those other guys to get an attacking return or bonus to make it worth it.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Never feels right a hit for a starting def with goal threat & baps, they look a bit rotaty too, nah

      1. marquinhos
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        cheers gentlemen!

  8. RIDZ
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    What position Richarlison play? Do he play as striker?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      LW

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Wing

  9. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Who would you sell first

    Milivojevic or Danilo

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Danilo should start. Get rid of Mili, might just play him this week and then use 2FT to upgrade him next week.

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      No hits for def

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Oops reply fail. Sell Mili tho

  10. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Would you rather Mane + Rooney or Siggy + Firmino

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      17? a seems to be a better structure, dunno, b is better but causes issues, a

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        If Mooy Rises I can get Mane and Firmino.. Which is ideally what I want. If he doesn't IL have to settle for these options. B does look better doesn't it.. Even though I love mane

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          b is better yeah, but a is a better structure 😆 sigh what a game eh

          1. Valar(Keith)
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Yup.. I have a 10 year love /hate relationship with this game. Forced me into an early WC for the first time in my Fpl career too. Lol

            1. Netley Lucas
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              I think the captaincy changes everything, otherwise we'd all stick Alonso & Firmino in and let the points flood in 😆

              1. Rasping Drive
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                6 years, 9 months ago

                I agree with this. I just sold KDB and Firmino precisely because I wouldn't captain either of them.

                1. Netley Lucas
                  • 8 Years
                  6 years, 9 months ago

                  And for that you get the Robin Friday song 😆
                  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiDvRnccOuU&t=116s

                    Nice one Netley!

                    An old friend of mine who used to be in the Drug Squad was chasing a bloke through central London one day after a raid. He caught up with him in Trafalgar Square, spun him around and in some surprise said "Hang on you're Robin Friday, aren't you?"

                    He took Driday's drugs from him, threw them down the drain and said : "That's for the goal you scored against Tranmere" and let him go.

                    1. Netley Lucas
                      • 8 Years
                      6 years, 9 months ago

                      😆 Nice one, knew where it was heading though 😆

                      1. Rasping Drive
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 14 Years
                        6 years, 9 months ago

                        Aye, the drug reference gave it away somewhat 😀

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years

      B

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Yay a toffee. Rooney has been ur motm literally every game. Reckon he ll continue being good for Fpl or is he too involved in tracking bacl/playing on the wing etc?

        1. Yankee Toffee
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Nah he should be a good asset in about a month when fixtures clear up and he gets in sync with Sandro. Shrek for the win!

  11. Yankee Toffee

    Hows this WC fellas?

      Best one I've seen so far.

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Looks good. RLC over Carroll for me though.

    3. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Nice team. Silva is tricky. Great player but you could get Pedro too who has much better goal threat. Wouldn't even mind downgrading Silva and upgrading Mooy. Maybe a 7.5 and 6 like Antonio and Richarlison since everyone is so big on him.

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers for the comments. Richarlison and Pedro dont have great fixtures and Pedro coming off injury. I see what u mean tho about using the cash. Ive considered Ramsey and will prob move to him next week. Thx!

    1. SpaceCadet

      No,, looks good

    2. fedolefan
      • 9 Years

      Jeez, 6 of that front 7 are identical. Happy with Phillips over Ritchie but Mounie is just worrying me a little.

    3. Johnny Drama
      • 7 Years

      Gtg imo

    4. TorresMagic™

      Cheers all. Ritchie and Daniels dropping soon is annoying.

    5. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Daniels -> Trippier?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Might be replaced soon due to Aurier.

        1. FPLtfs
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          True, but might score big against BUR. You have coverage if it happens, and then you can either just use a ft or wc.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            I'll be wanting to lose Ritchie if he blanks again. I'll have a think regarding Trippier, cheers.

    6. ChelseaKTBFF

      Identical front 3.

      Eriken Mkhi and Carroll too haha.

      Yes, you're good to go. No reason for a hit this week although I'd maybe recommend a WC after this week.

  15. Markus
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Argh, Ritchie is gonna be so close to falling/not falling, but got 7% to do today so think he probably will... Who to replace with (for free), rlc so I have some money to upgrade Willian to pogba/mhki next week or punt on richarlison to continue his form?

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Market is even more volatile on a friday night, mate. There will be price changes 🙂

        Ther pretty much fillers ..who would work bttr on 4.5

        1. That Was Easy!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Mee, Lowe

  17. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Cracked it.. i think.. On WC
    Foster-Myhill
    Alonso Cedric Dawson (Mee Lowe)
    Eriksen Pogba Mkhi (RLC Carroll)
    Kane Lukaku Chicharito

    Regarding the Players in brackets.. Rotating them based on fixtures.. 2 of them always have a Very good fixture in most gameweeks since Mee/Lowe rotate and so do RLC/Carroll so i'll play that spot based on fixtures. The only thing is lack of Mane/Firmino which worries me but i can probably get them after a few weeks(ARS mcy BUR(expected rotation) ) along with an everton attacker

      Don't like the rotation one bit, it never works time and time again. I'd go Jones over Dawson.

    2. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea (1 player?)
      Obviously a Man U supporter

        Obviously someone who wants points, I don't want anything to do with Pool / MC assets and I support Pool.

        Nope.. i am not a Man U Supporter.. just an fpl manager who has learnt to separate club from fpl player over the past 10 years

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 14 Years

          Infact i hate Man U.. and it pains me having 3 of them in my team. but i just dont see better value/options at those prices

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years

      Like the Mee rotation, he has a goal in him gl

        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks Netley.. Lowe on Penos + those Mee stats should lead somewhere.. RLC has been fantastic for Palace(their best player so far) and Carroll is on set pieces so i'm quietly confident 🙂

    1 - Dier > Tadic
    2 - JRod > Chicharito
    3 - Save the transfer

    1FT, 2.5ITB
    Foster (Elliot)
    Cedric, Alonso, Dawson (BSmith, Rangel)
    Eriksen, Dier, Atsu, KDB (RLC)
    JRod, Kane, Lukaku

      No idea why you'd ever have Dier in your team. Go Dier > Ramsey or Richardlison, even Antonio if you fancy him.

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Boils down to money left at the start of the season, and I knew he would at least play. Did Zaha > Atsu after GW1, so now I'm looking to move Dier.

          Rambo or Richarlison are my picks. Antonio might get hot over these plumps fixtures.

    Hi, ive got Arnie, should i sell him or just use Loftus Cheek from my bench?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Sell sell sell. Richarlison, stretch to Antonio if you can, or go Rambo (my choice)

    Despite owning Kane, I think am going to go Lukaku (C) for these reasons:

    - Lukaku has 5 goals in 7 against Leicester, compared to Kane's 2 goals in 5 against Burnley
    - Last season result (Burnley don't get blown out):
    MU vs Leicester 4-1
    Leicester vs MU 0-3
    Spurs vs Burnley 2-1
    Burnley vs Spurs 0-2
    - Despite Kane's stats, the one stat that's hard to ignore is 3 in 2 from Lukaku
    - I'm starting to believe Kane's August Kurse is real

    1. Najoman86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      On current form, hard to look past Lukaku.
      No Kane in my team - I'm worried!

  21. Najoman86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Kyle Walker - the most transferred out player this week. No sign/pressure on a potential price fall.
    Am I missing something?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      He got a red card...6.5 defender on your bench isn't appealing to anyone.

      1. Najoman86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Sorry, I was referring to the fact that he's nowhere near a price fall. Clarified now.
        Cheers!

    My WC team.

    Foster (Elliot)
    Jones Alonso Hegazi (4.0, 4.0)
    Mane Eriksen Pogba Mooy (Carrol)
    Lukaku Kane Okazaki

    It's ready?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      It's good but Oka will face pressure from Nacho, maybe get a more nailed 3rd

    2. kinghenry14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      looks good but i don't like 2x 4.0 and okazaki

      You're stretching to fit in a team that isn't realistic.

      If you have Kane/Lukaku, you need to decide whether you want 3 8M+ midfielders or if you want Alonso (only facilitates 2 premium mids)

  24. FPL ElasticO
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Is it worth transfer out KDB?? If so, who is the best option??

    A. Eriksen (already got Kane)
    B. Pogba (already got Lukaku)

    1. kinghenry14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      if you've got no other issues and it's for free then i'd do A

    2. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Both are great options, it's a 50/50, I brought in both Eriksen and Pogba.

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      A, but if you can materially upgrade say a meh cheap milf with the change, B

    When are people thinking of playing their WC? I've seen after this GW, or after GW8. ScoutCast seems to advocate waiting until the holidays.

      Francis likes getting forward so much he's found a way into your midfield.

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yep, although Stephens and Yoshida (who I own) are both at risk from their new CB signing Hoedt. Might not start this week though, fingers crossed.

  29. The Tinkerman

    GTG? Free transfers done. WC next week.

    DDG
    Danilo, Yoshida, Dann
    KDB, Willian, Redmond, Richarlison
    Kane (C), Kaku (VC), Firmino

    1st Sub: Carroll

      yupp g2g

  30. Paul

    Anything worth a hit? would be playing 4-3-3

    Foster Elliot
    Kola Bertrand Yoshida Lowe Long
    Willian Eriksen Mkhi Chalobah Carroll
    Lukaku Kane Firmino

    0.5 in bank
