The ScoutCast – Episode 246 – Smashing

2,779 Comments
Share

The ScoutCast quintet take on established Fantasy thinking in this latest episode, as we debate the quest to smash the current template squad.

What is the template? How can we break it? Should we even bother?

The discussion that unfolds is predictably sprawling and often heated, as once again the conflicting philosophies on Fantasy management in the ScoutCast crew are laid bare.

Elsewhere we let the rest of your community questions steer the conversation, as we contemplate Sanchez at United, battle Firmino vs Aguero and even find time to check in on Stoke.

Try as we might, even we struggle to argue about Stoke.

By the way, off the air we carried on the debate and, in the end, everyone agreed that I was right and that I also had the best beard.

        They're such different options - comes down to own outlook.

          Tell me about it.

          I fancy a shut out after Big sams comments, so should stick

          But on a week when most own Firminho and Kane with no kun, it’s really tempting...

            I’d do the hit but I’ve got an addiction this season so probably play Kenny

            I’ve managed to get Kane Kun and Firmino so all good here

              Assume Aguero would be for a cheapo fwd? I'd take the hit, but could be wrong.

                Yeah have money burning so would be for dcl.

                I honestly think it’s a coin toss but wanted a few more thoughts. If Kenny keeps the clean sheet, even two goals from kun only makes me 3 points.

            I was just walking away with my sensible hat on and you say that.

            Very good point tho.

            It’s just the annoying thing it’s only for a couple of weeks. If Jesus was out longer it’s a no brainer

              It’s kind of annoying there are two great Captain options I already have, or it would be the perfect reason.

              Still would cap Kane. Went to saints game last week, they were terrible

          It depends on what else you want to do......my guess is that given the fixtures and the fact that you probably own Kane, your question is do I sell him this week or next week? That depends on 1 or 2 FT and whether you also had Son or Alli......I wouldn't want to have 1FT next week and be looking at selling Eriksen and Alli for example.......

          I thought it was a really good one. Template talk was interesting for me as I don't have some key options. Also enjoyed 'leave the trolling to me.
          Was also great to talk about Kane for a grand total of about 1 min. (He's great, leave him in). Any reason you didn't like it?

          Have to disagree, thought it was one of the best this season, felt like a mid season review and reflection on the template was great at a point where fixtures are shifting for several teams & new possibiltiies are emerging to shake things up, nice work from the lads to be fair.

          Ox over Ramsey

          Wouldn’t get arsenal in now as they most likely have a blank in week 28, and they’re a bit rubbish, and Liverpool definitely have a game that week

          Likely that arsenal, City, Man Utd and Chelsea have blanks that week so it might seem silly planning that far in advance but that’s a lot of players out!

          I think Pickford is enough, he has good fixtures. And use the fund from Ryan to upgrade Masuaku/Dunk/Ibe. VVD is good but maybe Gamez offer more value. Maybe adding Jones?

                yes I counted Jones and lingard there but still didn't know how you said he'll blank 3 defenders?? But I figured now you probably counted Mbemba too which I missed.
