The ScoutCast – Episode 238 – Spooked

Whether it’s Pep’s rotation, Jonty’s runaway facial hair or a rogue horse in Andy’s front garden, the ScoutCast crew are decidedly spooked in this week’s Halloween episode.

Downed by a bout of Labyrinthitis – which is as nasty as it sounds – I’m forced to duck out as Jonty, Andy, Granville and Az run riot.

Your community questions help to keep them in check, forcing the quartet to once again assess City rotation, while giving views on Chelsea’s big-hitters, a Foxes revival and a slew of budget defenders.

Jonty rolls out his “ghouls imminent” table, while Andy unknowingly mocks my affliction from afar with back-to-back ear puns; in between they preview the weekend’s action to reveal their captain and transfer picks.

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.

      Less than 17 mins.

        Dunno, clocks went back in UK recently so could be in next few mins or in an hour

    Best to save ft with this lot? Benching headache, have I got it right?

    ELLIOT
    Alonso Bertrand MEE
    Salah silva Richarlison Gross
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    DDG Carroll DUFFY mbemba

      I've got the same keepers.. and played DDG every week. Not sure about benching him, doesn't feel right

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I’ve always played him as well, just not too sure this time.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          I like it. Would probably play Duffy over Mee tho. According to the betting sites he has a better chance for a CS.

          1. SpaceCadet
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Tough call this bud. Duffy it is. Cheers

              6 years, 6 months ago

              It really is.. but in all honesty both are probably 1-2 pt'ers.. so wont make to much of a difference I reckon.. Playing Elliot over DDG is probably the right choice imo.. I know Mou will park the bus, but cant help but feel Elliot is.more likely to keep a cs.. and if you dont play him in games like.these you might as well just cash in on him..

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

      Lol

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      If he makes an appearance then the set will be complete.

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

      It's at least more entertaining than queries about Alli or Eriksen?

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Mate, help me out with a quick query...

        Alli or Eriksen?

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

          The one to get is SONNNNNNNNNNN!!!

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            I agree 🙂

  4. Puzzle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Sell Jesus or Morata for Kane?
    Cant decide.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      If you dont have Kun then sell Morata imo. Easy to get back in gw14 if anything changes.. but really asiger 50/50 tho

    2. One Man
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Keep Morata

  5. Afghanistanislas
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Who would you bring in for Davies this week (will probably get both long term):
    A) Ward
    B) Duffy

    1. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Why would you replace Davies when he's playing CPL this GW?

      1. Afghanistanislas
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        He's far from assured to start

  6. Kun Tozser
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    On a wildcard!

    Lascelles Walker Bavies
    >>
    Daniels Azpilicueta Maguire

    To complement Gomez and Jones

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, Walker one is a 50/50 though

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yep

    3. scootadee
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      id say daniels, walker, maguire.

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Chelsea fixtures are so good all the way to chrimbo though

        1. scootadee
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          true, is kante back soon?
          i just think walker is the best defender in FPL. i do love azpi too though.

          1. Kun Tozser
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Maybe for the weekend if not after internationals.

            Morata and Kante both heighten the appeal of Azpilicueta.

  7. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Gross or Richarlison long term?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Gross

    2. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Gross

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Richarlison

    4. jia you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I think I'm keeping both until BHA fix turn at least!

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        That looks like GW35

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          haha, might end up keeping Gross for the season 🙂

    5. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Richarlison will probably get a few more pts but Gross is 0.6m cheaper.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I'm a points over pounds sort guy.

        1. 1314
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          I went for Gross to enable Silva > Alli in future

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

      I think Richarlison's points are a lot more sustainable. Gross has been amazing, but Brighton aren't going to keep converting the one chance they create a match.

  8. theBoose
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Best defender 5.5 and under for the next 10 odd gameweeks?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Ben Mee

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Jones

    3. Rik Waller
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Jones

    4. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Jones.

    5. One Man
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Jones.

  9. Prison Mike
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Best way to bring in Kane?

    A) Aguero & Luiz -> Kane & Daniels

    B) Aguero & Vardy -> Kane & Abraham (1.7m ITB)

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Depends what you are going to do with the 1.7m. I'd go with B).

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A

    4. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      B, you want Chelsea defensive cover for their good run and that 1.7m is huge

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

      There isn't a better option for you than transferring out Aguero?

  10. Random Name
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I have Hart. I have Lacazette. And next season when his price drops i will have James Milner.

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      maybe if he moves club

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Next season wahaha.. your funny tho

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

    Come on FPL Towers, manipulate that Kane price threshold!!

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I just bought him so I expect his price to not go up now and Poch to rule him out with a broken nail

  12. Barre

    Zaha (tot away)
    Or

    What percentage chance would you give it - 25%?

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      0%

      1. jia you

        I like the confidence mate and hope you're 100% correct 🙂

  14. Hotdog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Is jones rising tonight?

    1. scootadee
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      looks like it but the price prediction sites haven't been very accurate this season.

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      would be nice, looking best value player of the season already!

    3. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      100.8% on FPLStats so it's a tossup really.

  15. Dybala10
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Pick one to bench.

    A) Naughton (BHA H)
    B) Mee (SOU A)
    C) Moreno (WHU A)
    D) Jones (CHE A)
    E) Duffy (SWA A)

    1. scootadee

      moreno

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

      E for me.

  16. PastaFasul
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Clean sheet odds tight this GW
    Who to bench? Playing 4 at the back.
    A.Fab
    B. Elliot

    Which one sits out?
    1. BDavies
    2. Jones

    1. scootadee
      • 8 Years

        1. scootadee
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

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

    Who's doing the drum roll for the 30 second TM cameo, the classic TM 1 pointer?

    1. scootadee
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      he's way too expensive for that 1 pointer every game!

      although if he does it every day that's 7 points per week 😉

      Thought tonight was the night for Cedric and sold a few minutes before the deadline. His time will come. Especially with Lukaku and now Daniels finally dropping.

      Fantastic lost 0.2 on Daniels had him since gw 1.
      Feel like booting him out when i play my wildcard.
      For most part has been a let down this season.

      Daniels down and no change for Cedric! Beautiful!

      Kane up... that'll disappoint the haters 🙂

    Good night all mates

    anyone who not sleeping pls advise

    Moreno or Gomez to bring in

    Pls ...

    1. Dybala10
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Both looking nailed but I went for Moreno. More of an attacking threat and I want to see if Gomez ends up at CB once Clyne returns. He has more competition that Moreno.

    2. scootadee
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      gomez i think

    Ngl it's incredibly easy to troll Liverpool fans on here.

    Honestly, every liverpool fan on this site is so salty it's unreal.

    Sane to Silva ? Or hold ?

    1. smix
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Oops. Meant Silva to Sane ?

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

        Hold. Silva rested midweek means he's one of the few guaranteed to start for City.

  29. minges

    Yoshida to Daniels for -4?

    😀 the man is finally 4.8 but already done Laca to Kane (C)
    doesn't look likely Yosh will play either..

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      More likely to pay off in the long term rather than short term, I think Castle could score this gw

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      If you've a playing sub I'd wait. Daniels will be fine to get next week.

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not for a hit

    4. JustPark
      • 8 Years

      Hope that Pellegrino will realise his mistake last weekend and start Yoshi.

      1. minges
        • 12 Years

        id be happy for this

  30. We Will Klopp you

    Daniels fell, now have the possibility of doing Azpi and Rosenoir to Otamendi and Daniels for gw12 to get a full playing 15.

    Thoughts on such a move? Def is currently: Azpi Jones Ward Duffy Rosenoir

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Why do you refuse to own a liverpool defender? Rather have Moreno over Daniels tbh

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Daniels has a history of greater attacking threat and I'm still not sure what to make of us defensively, Hudds is an easy fixture

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          That history is based on Moreno not playing last season.. unfair comparison.. Moreno is brilliant offensively and plays in a team that will outscore bournemouth x2

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Bournemouth wont get as many cs as liverpool either...

            1. We Will Klopp you
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              All fair points, I'll see how the gw goes and reassess.

              1. We Will Klopp you
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 6 months ago

                Alternative is I could just get moreno in for Duffy and keep Azpi too

                1. FC Hakkebøf
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 6 months ago

                  Exactly

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      13* sorry

    3. Rik Waller
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Another cheeky hit, Klopp?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Nah, I'm trying to be done with hits more often than not, fixed almost everything in my squad. Would consider it for gw13 instead

        1. Rik Waller
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Yeh man gotta resist those hits. Even though they can be so tantalising. I assume you didn't go through with that -20 you were considering a few weeks back?

          1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            hits can be fine even -12s u just need to have a great gw and good captain choice

            1. We Will Klopp you
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              I agree, taken major hits in the past and still gotten rises

          2. We Will Klopp you
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            I did, a lot of the players I wanted were rising and it looked like a good gameweek to make the points back, hurt me in the short term but I feel I'm better for it long term

            1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              yea thats my thought process on -12s is even if I didnt quite recoup it that gw most of those moves were for the future anyway and should pay off in the long run. Like changing from 3-4-3 to 3-5-2

              1. We Will Klopp you
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 6 months ago

                Yep, I agrre for e.g. richarlison in, he'll likely repay the faith this gw and outscore choupo long term. A hit for the long term is always worth it imo
