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.

    Zaha, Valencia, Ibra and Gibson enough for DGW34?

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Yes

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      I'd say so
      Uniteds draw has put too much doubt on them now

      Can´t see anything else besides a punt on Hennesey or Valdes, maybe. Double up on boro def has a lot of upsides, and if you gave another goalie who plays and the rest of defenders aer ok ish, it´s at least an intriguing idea. I have Zlatan and Valencia and leaving one transfer left for next week. It´s either Hennesey/Valdes and Gibson/Barragan and maybe Zaha, but it depends a little on what my ML does. CP has a nice homefixture afterwards, that maybe decides it.

    Zaha for Siggy this week a good move??

    1. tibollom
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      yes

    2. Perthite
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      I already did that trade.

    3. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Did this move this week. Had 2FTs so had to use one. Siggy can score points now if Llorene is back.

    4. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Yes

    5. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      No - Sig leads that Goals Imminent table.

    6. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Yes

    7. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Always a risk to sell Siggy, since he has all of the free-kick duties in a team in need of points and goal. Watford also missing a lot of their defenders. Over the course of GW 33 and GW34 i think it will be tight between him and Zaha pointwise.

    Captain.. Lukaku or Alli?

    1. The Man Pastore

  4. Concrete
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Davis to PvA or Ward
    Sanchez to Zaha
    Origi to Kane - 8 yes or no?

    Heaton Pickford
    Alonso Baines Davies Evans Amat
    Sanchez Sterling Alli Son Allen
    Aguero Lukaku Origi..

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years

      No-too many hits.

      Can you just do the bottom two?

      1. Concrete
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Have 3 Spurs to do that, Wizard.
        Cheers for reply

  5. tibollom

    7 years, 13 days ago

    sorry for the repost:

    G2G ? 0 FT, 0.6 ITB.
    Jaku
    Walker Alonso Pieters valencia
    King Zaha Sanchez Alli
    Kane Kaku

    Heaton Allen Amat Gabbi

    GW34 -any idea how do I get Ibra in my team for DGW?

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Swap Sanchez and Lukaku for Ibra and Walcott.

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        for -8pts? No thanks

        1. The Man Pastore
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          My bad, didnt see it was for GW34

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Sell Sanchez and Gabbi. Or upgrade Gabbi to Lukaku and downgrade one of your premium defenders.

      1. tibollom
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        thanks guys - still have my WC and hesitating on using it next week (with dgw37 in mind for BB) or waiting for Gw36 to do the WC.

        Still need to get a saints + borough defender in my team for next week

    3. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Wait and see if Walker plays?
      If he does, DG mid upgrade Lukaku/ Gabby

  6. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Any additional advice here would be much appreciated. No easy route to Kane as I have 3 spurs but am seriously considering sacrificing Alli.

    Pickford
    Alonso Valencia Davies
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen Siggy
    Lukaku Vardy Carroll

    Heaton Capoue Yoshida Amat.

    1FT, 0.0 ITB. Help :/

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Do you have enough fund for : Eriksen + Carroll --> Zaha + Kane

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        If not : Eriksen + Vardy --> Zaha + Kane

      2. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        No, it would have to be Vardy to Kane and lose one of the spurs mids

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Bavies is the one I'd be swapping.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Not enough money though.. would be a -8

        1. tibollom
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          would get rid of eriksen - alli is free scoring atm

        2. Reuser
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          You could mitigate the -8 by bringing in cheaper nailed on double gw'ers for single gw'ers.

          For instance, would Heaton to Hennessey help?

    3. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      save - alli and eriksen should be enough

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Hoping so!

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      What about Hennesey for Heaton and then Amat to Barragan next week? Is that affordable?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Definitely an idea! I think my targets are Zaha/Townsend and Ibra for next week. Don't like Palace's fixtures.

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          me neither

          but form is an important factor, and can´t dispute their form atm

  7. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Grant (Jaku)
    Brunt - Alonso - Baines (Pieters,Stephens)
    Son - Sanchez - Zaha - King (Carroll)
    Kane(c) - Ibra - Lukaku(v)

    Anything needed for a hit?
    Start Pieters over brunt?

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Nope looks good. Start Pieters.

      1. The Wizard of Ozil
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Cheers, would you bench Brunt or Alonso?

        1. Jafalad
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          Brunt.

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Only thing that pops out to me is no Alli

      1. The Wizard of Ozil
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Think brunt will be the next to go for me, only way to get Alli is to ship Sanchez but I'll give him another week or two yet

  8. zakard
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Keep Son if u got Kane ?
    rest of my team
    Davies Pieters Yoshida
    Sanchez Davies Couth King.
    Lukaku Kun

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Nope-Son will be back on the bench now.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Not a chance. On top scoring form and Spurs must win remaining all games.

        1. Jafalad
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          Good luck with that then.

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 13 days ago

            I don't have him so good luck to owners 🙂

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years

      1. Kalou
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Thanks rhodes

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Rojo or Bailly, they will play everything barring injury.

  10. Rhodes your boat

    Just looking for a few ideas

    Pickford
    Nyom baines Valencia holgate
    Sanchez eriksen cout son
    Kane kaku

    Foster, Gibson, Barnes, sims

    0FT WC left 2.7 ITB

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Son and Valencia for Alli and Yoshida.

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        After dgw?

  11. ChristoBisto
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    What about Rashford for gwk 34?

  12. makaveli123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Kane (TC) locked in. Feels good

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Too high risk.

    2. gribude
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Same here and I also will WC 2moro afternoon...when to use BB and AoA then?

  13. Perthite
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Is this week as good as any to use the All Out Attack chip?

    1. Gazj11
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      I'm considering it

  14. Ruffio
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Quick and easy
    Play:
    A: Foster vs Liverpool
    B: Pickford vs West Ham

    Thanks

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years

    2. John Nerdelbaum

      foster

  15. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    For this GW should I start Yoshida over Valencia

    Any ideas would be welcomed

  16. athreya
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Those with WC what is the strategy now? I see many using in 35 and 36 but what about 34? That way with 2 FTs in 36 (no transfer in 35) adjustments can be made for 36/37. This would enable optimum squad selection to maximise pts across DGWs. Finally what is the point of WC if we have to use it for building a squad for just 3 weeks?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Not for me.

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      My thinking too
      I have no DGW 34 players yet so thinking if activating and planning

    3. Partick Bateman
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Using it this week and trying to plan carefully ahead. Probably not going to invest too much in DGW defence though.

  17. Tomcooper9
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    How's does my WC team look?

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

    1.2 ITB so enough to get Ibra next GW.

    1. Partick Bateman
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Trying to do something similar with Aguero / Davies instead of Hazard / Anichebe, so looks good.

      Stephens game time secured, you think?

      1. Tomcooper9
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Yeah I think so, has played quite a lot recently. Not sure who they would play instead?

  18. Sp0rting
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Lukaku (C)

    No, he's on his way out of Goodison so no motivation.

    Yes, he's got to produce the goods and put himself in the shop window.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      The latter. He only has to care about himself, not the club.

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      No, will Burnley play like Leicester did?

  19. John Nerdelbaum
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    a) brunt > rojo/gibson (-4)
    b) tadic > zaha (-4)
    c) something else

    worried about valencia (and walker) and tadic has been a bit sheet

      Get rid of Brunt, he also has a blank coming up

  20. Pengen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Who Would you bench?

    A) Pieters
    B) Alonso
    C) Big Andy

    1. Sp0rting
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Big Andy.

      3rd sub too. That'll teach him!

      1. Pengen
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        He deserves a spanking.

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      tough - is carroll fit?

      probably b but a bit of a risk

      1. Pengen
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        He's fit, although is seems that Bilic has promised Calleri some gametime

  21. zakard
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    My AoA looks good ?

    Pickford
    Pieters Davies
    Davies Sanchez Couth King Son
    Lukaku Kane(c) Kun.

    ( Amat / valencia / yoshida / heaton )

    or bench davies and play valencia ?

    Do u think Mou will rest key players vs Che (because of the EL)?

    I'm asking because i'm thinking to bring in Hazard for a -4.

    1. Still Unsure
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Any other team maybe, but can't see him resting players against Chelsea

      • william prunier
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Unlikely

      • bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Not very likeky, imo. Former club, and still a fourth place to fight for. And his remarks on it earlier this week shows no intent to do a weaker line-up. Herrera and maybe Fellaini in, and Blind or Shaw LB, but none of Z and V to be rested, I think.

      • Sting in the Tail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        I think if they weren't playing Chelsea he would but can't see him wanting to get stuffed by his old side or be seen to 'hand' the title to them. I think he'll probably play his most defensive midfield.

    2. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Which would you do?

      A) Eriksen and Llorente --> Kane and De Roon (-4)

      B) Save transfer (I own Eriksen and Ali)

      1. Wetdream
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Save transfer

      2. Pengen
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        B

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years

          You think he will be rested too?

        2. Arteta
          • 8 Years

          I can't guarantee you anything but it happened in the past. I'm sure we'll get some team news/updates before the deadline.

      Activated WC, What are your thoughts?

      Valdes Jaku
      --------
      Bailly Stephens Schlupp Holgate Barragan
      --------
      Hazard Alli Eriksen Zaha Walcott
      --------
      Kane Lukaku Benteke

      Next week tradeing Kane for Ibra!

          I don't like the Walcott pick, and you'll want to monitor Schlupp's return, but good otherwise.

          Pva likely to come back
          Walcot never plays past the 70th min

          Schlupp to Sakho?

          Theo is a suspect there too

            Sakho will miss LIverpool match

          Do you believe Özil is a better pick than Walcott?

          1. Still Unsure
              7 years, 13 days ago

              I think they're both turd picks.

            Hennessey - (Pickford)
            Bailly - (Yoshida) - (Barragan) - Holgate - Vertonghen
            Alli - Coutinho - Hazard - Zaha - (King)
            Kane - Lukaku - Benteke

            Kane to Ibra next week. You will have 7 DGW players.

              van Aanholt might something to say in that matter.

          I think the lesson I have learned this season is to save the AOA chip for a blank week
