The ScoutCast – Episode 239 – Homecoming

Declared fit and available for selection, I make a return to the ScoutCast after a recent hiatus. I’m also chuffed to be welcomed back into the bosom of my own home, as the winter draws in and drives me from the Scout Hut at the end of the garden.

Warming my cockles alongside Jonty and Az, the three of us are treated to another ScoutCast Wildcard, as Andy joins us and throws his selection to the cynical lions.

We use that as inspiration to answer your community questions, pondering Andy’s all-powerful front three and wondering if overlooking a budget third striker is the optimum set-up.

Staying with strikers, Romelu Lukaku’s worrisome form comes under analysis ahead of his anticipated revival and, once again, we give Harry Kane oxygen to vent further frustration following his very latest Wembley Stadium stutter.

Manchester City’s weapon(s) of choice get(s) revised before we embark on the weekend preview to exorcise the international break and lay the groundwork for a Christmas schedule of epic proportions.

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.

    Problems everywhere, injuries etc. Should I WC from this...

    Elliot/Foster

    Valencia/Jones/Mee/Dunk/Cresswell

    Erik/Sterling/Silva/Carroll/Loftus Cheek

    Lukaku/Kane/Chicarito

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      No way

        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Really? No WC? I've only one free transfer this week. Yellow on Jones, Sterling, Chica and Loftus...

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          You can still field 11 with -4 at most.

          Don’t waste your WC

            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            My team is really underperforming though. Red arrows last 3 weeks.

            1. La Roja
              • 12 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Your team looks good me this GW, forget past

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      6 years, 4 months ago

      Can be solved in 3 moves IMO

      Chich > Murray
      Valencia > Daniels/Moreno or similarly priced
      Carroll > Gross/Richarlison

  2. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I have no idea what I’m doing this GW 🙂

    Foster
    Alonso Moreno Jones*
    Sterling Salah Ritchie RLC*
    Kane Lukaku Laca

    Elliot Lowe** Mbemba** Chalobah*

    0.3 ITB and 1 FT

    A) Lowe ➡ Mee
    B) Jones Mbemba ➡ Mee Daniels -4
    C) Chalobah ➡ TCarroll

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A, and play ahead of RLC

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        If Jones doesn’t play I’m down to 10 players though

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A is a good move in any case. Take the risk and have RLC on the first bench spot.

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Its hard to upgrade Chalobah/Mbemba that's the issue. Some people have talked up Surman for the former.

  3. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Morning lads

    Should I do Jesus to Lukaku for a hit?

    Looking to absorb the hit over next 3 games and not worry about minutes played

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      No Jesus always starts away

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      No reckon Jesus could better Lukaku this week

    3. Distinctly Average
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Wait a week. Jesus more likely to start this week than aguero I reckon

  4. ROSSI_7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    What do you think of my WC team?

    Pope
    Daniels Smalling Mee Vertonghen
    Sane Salah Richarlison
    Kane Morata Lukaku

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Good except Vert

    2. rorymcdonnell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      very close to what i would WC to

    3. Distinctly Average
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure on Smalling or Verthongen. Also, you have no bench...

      15 players may be pretty important for the Christmas period.

      Rest looks solid

    4. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Bench?

      1. ROSSI_7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Speroni Carrol Stephans Klavan

        1. Football Weekender
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I’d rethink Smalling & Klavan but the rest looks sound.

    5. Tree House
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Smalling nailed??

    6. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Who on bench?

      1. ROSSI_7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Speroni Carrol Stephans Klavan

    7. Kermit Special
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Downgrade Smalling to Brighton/Pool/Crystal Palace defender, an upgrade Pope to De Gea. Use other funds to improve bench. Additionally Vert isn't neccesary atm, lots of players producing similar numbers that are cheaper.

    8. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Smalling a waste of space, he will soon lose his place. Bailly and Jones are ahead of him and even Rojo will be when he returns in a couple of weeks.

    9. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Smalling not nailed on long or not even short term if Jones plays. Smalling might play when United plays with 3 CB's (Jones, Smalling, Bailly) with 2 CB's it is Jones, Bailly. And now even Rojo will be back...

      And United will most likely play with 2 CB's when playing against easier opponents...

  5. Aaaatsu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Who is more nailed the coming gameweeks?

    Calvert-Lewin or Niasse?

    1. The Hobbit
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      As an Everton fan I can say that we still dont know. Unsworth still managed too few games to make any conclusions. I think that both will feature in the match, but it's very hard to decide witch one will start.

      They could both start though. DCL came on vs Watford alongside Niasse and after the match he mentioned enjoyed playing in a front two.

      1. Aaaatsu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Thank you so much for good reply. What does your gut say?

  6. Distinctly Average
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    In a dilemma here:

    Looking at doing Aguero > Lukaku (-4)

    The move is planned for longer term (sick of worrying if aguero will get minutes, not good enough for 11.8m imo).

    Most of my mini league own him.

    He's the captain favourite.

    Massive ownership.

    BUT...

    Will I kick myself if aguero starts and bags a brace?

    Somebody please put me out my misery ha

    1. Diva
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yes.

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think aguero will start this week

      1. Distinctly Average
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        That is exactly what I need to hear 🙂

        More of this please

      2. Kevtheotter
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I think Aguero will 100% start

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Jesus has started 5 away games; Aguero just 2 away games.

    3. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I'm looking at getting in Aguero after this week (Jesus ATM)

      1. Distinctly Average
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I'm leaning towards a mid double up going forwards.

        16m (ish) for sterling and Silva seems the better shout than 11.8m on a forward that doesn't start every game.

        Would leave me with Kane, Kaku and Morata up top too which eases the teamsheet anxiety each week somewhat

        1. Aaaatsu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Going without Aguero is Fantasy-madness

          1. Freddo
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            No it's not, this is not 3 years ago where he was the default C most weeks, very few will C him this week, hes just another striker in a pool of good strikers.

            1. Freddo
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Infact, I doubt many have the balls to C him due to Pep and the uncertainty, you could argue it's fantasy madness to have him with the risk.

  7. balint84
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Why you think Daniels is better choice than Francis?
    Francis is nailed and cheaper and probably gets the same points as Daniels.
    What do you think?

    1. Distinctly Average
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I agree, but the vast majority of people do not share this opinion with me.

      Daniels doesn't justify his 4.8m price tag when you have Duffy, Dunk, Mee, Moreno, Gomez all cheaper

      1. Tree House
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I share it with you mate

    2. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Daniels carries more attacking threat and there’s always the danger that in a back four Francis could be rotated for Adam Smith.

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Daniels is much more attacking, plays much further up the pitch.

    4. adam28193
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Daniels has a history of attacking returns

    5. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      0.4 for goal and assist threat is worthwhile short term - most will sell after 5 wks

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Basically a winger too

  8. Jässi
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Fabianski
    Azpilicueta - Stones - Ward - Davies
    Salah - D. Silva - Richarlison
    Kane - Vardy - Lacazette

    Bench: Elliott, RLC, Carroll, Mbemba

    1 FT, 1.1 ITB

    What to do:

    A) Lacazette -> Morata for free
    B) Lacazette -> Lukaku and Davies -> Daniels (-4)
    C) Lacazette -> Lukaku and Davies -> Jones (-4)
    D) Hold

    Personally I feel must do B or C as I cannot go without Lukaku for his next fixtures, but wouldn't like to take a hit either. Really struggling here, any advice appreciated.

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Mbemba > Daniels

  9. Tree House

    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Boring question sorry.. have mee and want to double up so..

    A) tarkowski
    B) lowton

    Comparison tool isn’t so conclusive..

    Thanks!

    1. Speédy

      1. Tree House

    How's it going Cockeysmurf? 🙂

    Just checked out your team. Amazing rank ... all done with very few transfers. Well done, Sir!

    It just shows all those argumentative people that you know what you're talking about.

  11. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights

    6 years, 4 months ago

    Pope
    Davies Jones Stones Ward
    Hazard(v) Eriksen Salah
    Kane(c) Jesus DCL

    (Elliot RCL Wimmer Carroll)
    _
    1FT 0.2ITB
    A. Save FT - bench ain't too bad
    B. Defender switch (Daniels, Duffy, Moreno)
    C. B & Jesus > Lukaku (-4)

  12. Dele
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Looking at the comparison tool it seems Daniels is coming out on top over Moreno.

    Should I be swayed by Morenos cheaper price tag? What can we expect from him?

    1. adam28193
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      bad defending

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Daniels is the better pick, but if you need the 0.3 saving, Moreno is a great shout.

    3. Distinctly Average
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Moreno, no contest imo

    4. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Daniels easily the better pick

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

    Is Smalling an option?

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      No

  14. dimitros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Why are there so many people transferring out Otamendi?
    He is banned for a single gameweek, no?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Because there are plenty of casuals in this sea.

      1. Winners900
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Good for us, let them

      2. dimitros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        This is true yeah..

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You are right but the miilions who play the game don't look that far. The other point is City have been letting in goals of late.

    3. Dele
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      People shifting funds from defence to up front.

      Kane, Lukaku, Morata = Dreamland

      1. dimitros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Do you think it's worth the value to have premium forwards?

    4. adam28193
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      because people have lots of injuries and hes more expensive so better to find a replacement for him than someone cheaper would be my guess

  15. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I had planned to upgrade Kola or Naughton to Otamendi next week - but lots of talk of rotation etc here.

    Is he still worth buying or are there better defenders around the 6m mark? Have Jones of course.

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He is suspended

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Hence the transfer would be next week

    2. BigBarn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I think he's a great pick. Fantastic stats and the points to prove it.

  16. RIDZ
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    What is the point of bring in Jones now? flagged and 50%. Kaku+Smalling might be good as he surely would play I'd guess

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Smalling very short term. Also people looking at long term value for money. Popular choice on a WC only.

    2. The Hobbit
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      An odd Lideloff could ruin your Smalling plans

  17. XabiAlonso
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Am I right to bench Daniels
    Def is
    Alonso Gomez mee (Daniels 3.9)

    1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Whats going on in midfield?

      1. XabiAlonso
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Salah alli sterling richarlison gross

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Bench gross

  18. rohan
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    New crowd. Thoughts on this WC team folks?

    DDG/Speroni

    Valenica/ Daniels/ Ward/ Dunk/ Moreno

    Richarlison/ RLC/ Zaha/ Sane/ Salah

    Niasse/ Aguero/ Kane

    1. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Too much money in United double defence,better value elsewhere

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Zero Spurs but 3 Palace? I know its the money but keep some balance.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Sorry! Missed Kane.

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      3 Palace???

    4. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Don't see the value in Valencia. Would rather have Azpi and downgrade Zaha to someone like Gross.

      Morata could hold better value than Aguero too.

      Chelsea fixtures of pretty stellar for the rest of the year (apart from next week).

  19. Speédy

      Are you happy with Foster in goal?

      I would be tempted to swap him for Pope (even for a hit). Should pay off easily over coming weeks.

      1. Eze Really?

    Tempted to do Jesus to Morata -4 rather than wait a couple of weeks.

    Reasons Against:

    Jesus has better fixtures (lei, hud vs wba, liv) over the next 2 gameweeks
    Would leave me with Sterling as my only City player
    Its -4.

    Reasons For:

    I want Morata long-term.
    Morata will play. Jesus might play.
    Morata has a great fixture this week.
    I have 0.3 ITB. That could easily get swallowed up by Morata/Jesus price changes over the next two weeks.

    Any thoughts? Appreciate it is a punt....

      One further thing to consider - if I did the move tonight, I would have 0.4 ITB.

      Could then upgrade Mbemba to Francis/Dunk next week. 0.3 gets me nothing.

      To be honest, I am thinking about the Jesus>Morata move for a FT, but still very hard to decide. Both have good fixtures, both can score, it's not easy to swap similar priced big hitters when there is no big fixture swing, I feel very insecure in these cases.

      One of the FPL rules many tends to forget: when in doubt, do nothing. I think I am going to save that transfer myself.

        It is a difficult one for a FT let alone a -4.

        At the moment (subject to press conferences), I think I'll take the hit, which is relatively uncharacteristic for me. It isn't really a case of believing that Morata will outscore Jesus by 4 or more points over the next two weeks - more than I might be able to get away with it.

        At least that way I can afford to upgrade my bench next week, don't need to worry about playing time, and it is one less transfer to concern myself with over the next few game-weeks.

      Why you have Dann? I don’t understand this

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Haha! Rather good fixtures, big goal threat. Can be benched. Why not?

    2. NIELK
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Look out for Knockaert (Brighton)...0.2 cheaper than Gross and underlying stats are impressive thus far, more of a goal threat than Pascal imo

    Do we think Eriksen will drop before the weekend?

    I'd be tempted to bring him in next week if so.

    Guys need some help to pick my starting 11, currently on:

    Foster
    Jones Moreno Mee Daniels
    Richarlison Silva Sane
    Morata Firmino Lukaku

    Elliot Eriksen Naughton King

    Just feels really bad having Eriksen on the bench! Is that the right move based on who I have and if not which starting 11 would you go for and why??

    1. Diva
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I'd bench Daniels and play Eriksen.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        If you bench Daniels when he has Huddersfield at Home, might as well just sell him.

        1. Diva
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          If you bench Eriksen you might as well just sell him.

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            That’s not the point. He should be playing Eriksen anyway but you can’t bench Daniels this GW.

            1. Diva
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              So why didn't you answer his question by naming another bench player?

                • 12 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Because my decision was to replying to yours which which is as pretty much replying to him too. Win win with less typing.

                  Except it doesn't reply to him. Saying don't bench Daniels then following up by saying play Eriksen is also saying bench someone else, but then you don't suggest who that should be...

                    Are you saying I should reply the post that you are thinking that I should be replying?

                    I’m sorry for replying a comment which is saying Daniels should benched this GW on Fantasyy Football forum. You win, well done.

                        Thanks. My expectations are pretty low to be honest. If I can beat my undefeated opponent in our head to head this week I will be very happy.

      Eriksen Silva Sane
      Morata( c) Firmino(vc) Lukaku

      Foster Richarlison Naughton King

      Richarlison has rarely troubled my tables, and is facing West Ham under a new manager. Eriksen is quite possibly one of the best players in the PL.

      NEW : mun -273
      WBA : CHE -273

      I fancy Elliot for more saves, Foster not in great form, this Season.

        It looks great. I would bench Rico Suave but he will probably come on for Jones anyway.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years

          I wouldn’t*

          Rico Suave sounds like a character a bad 1980s American cop show. 😀

      It's been doing my head in for the past two weeks haha.

      Went morata last night due to him being >100% on fpl stats.

      Seriously considering Kun>Kaku (-4) as I really want both

    On WC

    Morata or Lukaku? It's bothering me especially if Pogba is back and Ibra (in a No10 role) coming back soon..

    Team atm..0,1 ITB

    DDG Elliot
    Azpi Duffy Daniels Mee Moreno
    Salah Sane Sterling Richarlison RLC
    Kane Morata TammyA

    If Sterling is out injured (wait for Pep presser), then may downgrade him to Fernandinho (surely nailed right?) and downgrade Azpi to 4.1m and get Kaku? However got Sterling for 7.9m a few weeks back so hesitant to sell if I have to buy him back later...he's 8.2m atm BUT I have Sane now so maybe just sell Raheem as Sane should get a lot of gametime due to Mendy out until April 2018?

    Thoughts?
