The ScoutCast – Episode 156 – Champ

Myself, Granville and Jonty welcomed Fantasy Premier League royalty for this week’s episode, as reigning champion, Tom Fenley, made his belated ScoutCast debut.

Tom joined us to talk us through his difficult post-championship season, whilst lending his informed view the situation facing the current Fantasy Football Scout league leader, and FPL number one, Simon March, aka “Dufflinks”.

Of course, we were also glad to have Tom’s expertise on board to help us grapple with the latest round of topics fed to us by the community. Amongst the many issues tackled, we attempt to explain the withering form of Sergio Aguero, discussing the merits or otherwise of an Argentine exit strategy.

This episode was recorded on Tuesday evening with a live Hangout broadcast. If you missed that and you really want to catch up on the latest beard developments (Tom abstains from this), you can view the Hangout in full via the movie below.

If you prefer to have your ScoutCast slip down that little bit easier, you’ll be wanting the rather more slick and refined audio version via this link or the first player below.

Be sure to subscribe to our Youtube channel if you want to be kept informed of future live ScoutCasts.

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

    Is this team good enough to compete with the WC-teams for DGW34:

    Schmeichel
    Terry Skrtel Schlupp
    Hazard (C) Fabregas Coutinho Henderson Silva
    Aguero Austin

    Panti, Kane, Bertrand, Naughton

    8/11 starters has DGW
    and the last three has AST (H) x2, and WHA (H)

    What to do with Austin?

    A) bring in Murray
    B) bring in gomis
    C) save trade. Bring in anyone next week as a 1 gw punt.

      I'd be tempted to say C

      It sounds like 33 is going to be a low scoring week with so many blanks, could be scope to make some ground up with 2 FT.

      Hazard for me just because Chelsea game is on the day after Arsenal's trip to Burnley (Jose hopes Burnley can take something from the Gunners). Tottenham's midfielders are poor passers last 2 weekends and there weren't too many chances for Kane. Aston VIlla won't repeat that poor performance at the back from midweek and Sherwood against ex-team ... hmmm

        Why's that? Double Chelsea has been poor lately and the next few fixtures aren't too promising defensively.

        Southampton, on the other hand, looks more promising.

          You would be removing the better DGW player for the worse one.

          As you have to use a FT this week, i would recommend getting Mignolet/ Skrtel or Hendo.
          Or if you like Southampton's defensive prospects do:
          Bellerin --> Clyne/Alder.

            But I still have Ivan. Double Chelsea defence has been a nightmare so far. And I don't see too many clean sheets coming up for them. Maybe this week, maybe against leicester, apart from that not too many before GW35.

            Getting Mignolet for Krul before GW34.

            Getting rid of Bellerin for Clyne/Alder would leave me with 4 mid-priced to premium defenders.

      A definite no from me. You don't have a wildcard, right?

      As you stand now you have 3 nailed Chelsea DGW and no worries, why change that? You'll captain Hazard in DGW like most others so why fret about Remy?

      Southampton have had their time, I wouldn't be bringing Clyne in. Quite honestly I'd just do Krul to Schmeichel this week and save the other FT.

        Cheers mate, and no.

        Why change? Because double Chelsea defence has been the opposite of a differential lately and the next few fixtures don't look to promising for clean sheets. Southampton have good fixtures and are still tight at the back

        You know my thoughts on Schmeichel 😉 Besides, I plan on doing Krul -> Mignolet in GW34 for the Liverpool double.

          Yeah I forgot we discussed Schmeichel.

          I just think without a wildcard you need to be economical. JT-Ivan-Hazard may not be your 1st choice right now but is it worth 2FTs to shift it around?

          I wouldn't give up on the Chelsea defence too soon. 65 yard wonder goals don't happen every week - Stoke had 2 shots on target in the whole of the last game. And JT was on Chelsea TV the other night saying that with Costa out he believed their defensive strength would help to see them through.

          Chelsea tend to defend at their best against the best teams. And I have no doubt that Costa out will concentrate minds.

          Maybe just Austin to Berahino or Murray for the next 2 weeks? That's the direction I'd go in anyway.

            I do see your point.

            Just because JT says their defensive strength will see them through doesn't mean they'll stop conceding goals imo. They have qpr, MUN, ars, lei and CPL in the next 5.

            To be honest, I could see them conceding in all 5. qpr and lei are fighting for survival, and have been scoring loads lately. MUN and ars speak for themselves, as you say Chelsea do tend to defend at their best against better teams (which I agree with) but both of these teams are in their best form of the season, and will surely throw the kitchen sink at Chelsea. Palace are an attacking side under Pardew and are another team that are scoring freely.

            So overall I'm not sure if it's worth tying up all of these funds in double chelsea. It's not like I'm giving up on Chelsea defence altogether (I'll still keep Ivan) but I'm just not sure it's as good a differential as it seemed weeks ago.

            Since I don't have much else to worry about at the moment (Keeping Mane until GW34 to ditch for Hendo), 2FTS to switch Terry for Remy is probably worth it imo, especially if Costa is out for a long period.

            Have you gone off Remy as an option yourself?

              Not at all. I have a wildcard so my situation is totally different. I'm trying to put myself in your shoes.

              I am looking after another team without a wildcard right now and already pulled the trigger on Austin to Remy.

        Nice. I won't even have 11 players to play during GW33. Naughton injury fecks it all up. Would you take a hit to do Giroud to Remy to field 11 and then another hit maybe next week bringing in a couple of Pool players?

      Benching Kane and transferring out Austin are two different things really.

      Austin has a difficult fixture followed by a blank. I'll need him gone for the blank anyway and for GW34 so deciding to (more than likey) do it this week to get someone in with a better fixture.

        Hi andy85.

        What if your Austin replacement gets injured this week and it forces you to do a further trade next week?

        That's a reason why I think keeping Austin for one more week makes sense.

            I'd agree with this.

            If you're loosing in 33 anyway, this week's fixture isn't easy, makes sense to lose this week.
            The only issue is suitable replacements.

        I think if I had 2 FT's and nothing else pressing then maybe Austin-Remy (or another DGW player) would make sense, but otherwise I would keep him.

            Have you read Barney's book? I can totally understand why Hooky is bitter about it but he does need to let it go now. And he's probably got the better end of the deal as he's now playing the JD stuff.

            Joy Division and early New Order is about all I'm listening to at the moment. Amazing what those 4 young men produced in such a small space of time in JD. Morris was a machine on the drums in those days (pun intended)!

              (have heard some stories on both autobiogs, but that's not for the internet)

              only recently started listening to movement & was much better than i remembered it

              was at the opening night of hookys new club when he did his set with teh guest vocalists (& played that unreleased jd track) & also saw fourbass at the 100 club, as well as the light shows doing all the different jd sets & the new order ones so far as well
              he's getting better at vocals & it's great seeing songs that i never saw new order play, but the current day new order live show has a better atmosphere (pun intended) even though you know what the set will be

                That must have been great being at the opening night. Very jealous! I saw Hooky & the light last year and was really impressed with his vocal. Definitely more suited to JD stuff than Barneys vocal.

                I've not seen New Order without Hooky but hopefully will one day. I'd imagine there is an awful lot less tension these days!

                I think the worst thing in Barneys book is him taking all the credit for the direction New Order went in when Gillian actually had a very big influence on it.

                Two great bands and an amazing story behind it all. The evil genius that was Martin Hannett will forever be remembered for those 2 JD albums!
