The ScoutCast – Episode 135 – Arrivals

With cheque books fluttering on the eve of the transfer window slamming shut, our Fantasy seasons could be transformed by some notable new arrivals. In this week’s ScoutCast episode, Granville and I chew over the latest fresh faces to crash the player list – United’s “Angel” Di Maria and Liverpool’s “Devil” Balotelli.

With just a single point between us and the comfort of top 100k placings, my co-host and I are more than just a little content as we the rule over the current bandwagons and preview another weekend’s action. It won’t last.

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

          When walker is back will Rose be dropped? Or will that be Dier?

          1. 50shades of o'shea
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Dier

          2. Billy Gilmore
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            That'll be Dier. Davies is Rose's competition.

              Davies played last night...so Rose should be good for Sunday...right?

              1. Hailzter
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 2 months ago

                Probably

  2. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Just a couple of quick questions:

    Clyne (A) or Hutton (B) on field
    Jovetic (A) Ramsey (B) or Fabregas (C) captain

    Thanks all.

    1. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      B & B

    2. OzilFozzil
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Im leaning towards B but fearing the Jovetic may rip stoke to threads 🙁

  3. LMNO
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    morning all

  4. Fernando Torres
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    LAMELA (C). Our pressing high tempo game will be too much for Liverpool who like to pass it around at the back.

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      lol

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You've made up your mind then? 😉 The master plan

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Makes sense to me haha. Could backfire. We will play best footy in league this year

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          You're making me want to captain eriksen

          1. Fernando Torres
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Could be good. Lamela more involved in open play though

        2. Rafe63
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Agree. Who cares if you dont have a front four of:
          A)Aguero, Jovetic, Nasri, Silva
          B)Costa, Hazard, Oscar, Willian
          C)Mario, Sturridge, Sterling, Llalana

          1. Fernando Torres
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            We've looked the best so far this year...

            1. Super PVA - Small Spuds
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Fans like you give clubs a bad name!

        3. Hailzter
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          You're basing that off one display against QPR?

    I think the worst thing about the injury rumours for us as Fantasy players is that the games now immediately flag them without medical confirmation from the clubs.

    1. LMNO
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      ...that and the confusion over price rises

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Separate issue, but I agree, the prices have gone bonkers this year. If they don't want players to make TV to give themselves an edge later in the season why have price changes at all?

        1. LMNO
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          there seems to be a lot more fallers than risers - hopefully someone will get a handle on it soon

        2. Super PVA - Small Spuds
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I think it would be best to standardise the rises. So they rise on one occasion a week.

    2. QPR expects... glory!
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Remember all those press conferences where teams had '3 or 4 struggling' or several with 'knocks and niggles' but no names mentioned so we bought players who had played 90 minutes in a midweek game but been ruled out by their teams for the weekend and several weeks beyond that?

      Think I'd prefer to have the doubts we do know about flagged even if they end up playing!

  6. pompeyfan
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I know I shouldn't but I'm still considering Sanchez as an alternative to Ramsey. Do we think Sanchez will definitely start this gw?

    1. Henry Hill
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes and probably upfront! Why not have both? I think Ramsey is a must have

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      yes, although I wouldn't risk not having ramsey

      besides he put in a hell of a shift v besiktas and with city after leicester, it may be best to wait a bit

      1. Jarvis
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        who are you Captaining?

    3. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ramsey by a country mile. Sanchez will start, to answer your question.

      1. pompeyfan
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        thanks all. I can't justify both with the fixtures and the other good options in midfield. I started the season with both but got rid of the wrong one..

    4. BobbyV
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez is no good as a CF though...

  7. Rafe63
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Why cant we have a double Gameweek forecasted so that i know when to use my wildcard... Every day i want to use it... Feel like a crack addict staring at a piece of crack, but knowing its my last piece.

    1. LMNO
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      haha - well, you're doing better than me. Long tradition of playing it in the first two G's has been upheld yet again

      1. LMNO
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        GWs*

    2. King H

      Smoke it bro ...

  8. Butcher
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Who to start this weekend. Pick 2.

    Clyne
    Dummett
    PVA

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Clyne and Dummett

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chelsea-striker-diego-costa-miss-4124060

    Costa 100% not playing in Everton match or still in contention?

    1. Tim Canterbury
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You're making the same mistake again of listening to the tabloids

      1. HUMZAH96
          10 years, 2 months ago

          This

        • LMNO
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          it seems that most news outlets have stooped to printing more or less anything this year - transfer rumours being one case in point. Where to go for rock solid info besides the BBC/Sky ??

          1. Tim Canterbury
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            If you know who to listen to, this site.

            1. LMNO
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              great source for everything football related 🙂

              1. Bolivian Seaman
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 2 months ago

                The predicted lineups blow the water out of any other site. The Guardian is always so wrong it's untrue.

      2. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Wait until the manager that he plays for says something.

        1. THE SQUARE ONE
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Alright, I thought Mourinho might have said something already. Just checking for updates

      3. HUMZAH96
          10 years, 2 months ago

          This article is just opinions (like Zep said) no actual evidence/facts

      4. SPorting
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Not convinced about Youngs minutes this week. Don't really want a 1pt cameo off the bench.

        Best 5.5m replacement to grab some points?

        Or just hope he doesn't play at all and let Caulker/Wanyama come off my bench and save the FT?

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Why are you benching Caulker anyway?

          1. SPorting
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Have Terry, Debuchy and Hutton starting.

            1. Billy Gilmore
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Start him over Hutton.

          2. Grumpy Camel
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            This

        2. Tim Canterbury
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Shame we don't know if Brady will play

          1. BobbyV
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Remember the epic Brady bandwagon last season...*memories*

            1. Tim Canterbury
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Got consecutive double figure hauls 😎

        3. In Like Flynn.
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Rodwell, Huddlestone, or Dyer? I think they're pretty much nailed on and scoring more than appearance points generally.

        4. Zep
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Not starting Caulker at home to Sunderland? 😯

          Play him in a 4-3-3...

      5. Stimps
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        why hasnt anyone risen on totalfpl price changes? i dont get it... was keeping aguero due to a price change but he hasnt risen.

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          TotalFPL have no idea what's going on.

        2. In Like Flynn.
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          No one knows what's going on.

      6. Henry Hill
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        If Costa is ruled out how do you think best way to get 1.5 from below team to upgrade him to Aguero, Cahill to a 5.0 like Bertrand or Caulker perhaps?

        Begovic
        Cahill Clyne Debuchy
        Sigurdsson Ramsey Mata Hazard
        Rooney Costa Austin

        Gilks Wisdom Traore Naughton

        1. Calamity Cole
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Ok

        2. HUMZAH96
            10 years, 2 months ago

            What you recommended works but I wouldn't recommend it

            1. Henry Hill
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Ya if he is ruled out maybe just get Jovetic in for him and save the bother, thanks all

          • Bolivian Seaman
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Yes. Though Debuchy's fixtures get hard soon, but there are no decent 4.0m left

          • Gregor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Mata to Tadic.

            1. LMNO
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              sound good

          • Red Devil Swede
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            I'd keep Chelsea defenders.

            Hazard->Fabregas
            Bego->Krul

            will that work? Or you don't have anything in the bank maybe?

          • Bolivian Seaman
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            hazard to sterling

          • THE SQUARE ONE
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Probably so, unless you're willing to let Hazard go which I don't think you should do

            1. Henry Hill
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Thanks for replies everyone, I have 2FTs and zero in bank. If Costa is out I think will get Jovetic in for him, too much tinkering involved in trying to get Aguero.

              1. Dogba
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 2 months ago

                For now, this is what I'd recommend. Straight swap to Jovetic, then you always have 2FTs if you want to make a move after the break. I just don't like buying him when we're not 100% sure he's going to start and he's got a 2 weeks break where -anything- can happen.

        3. Red Devil Swede
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I actually like that FPL rewards those with patience. For those who like to do their transfers late, after Friday's pressers, this is gold.

          A little bit off and odd with price changes but then again, it's a change in a game we have to adapt to.

          1. Moin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            yup

          2. Tim Canterbury
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Maybe prices should change once a week? Say on a friday night.

        4. Richard Norris
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Costa to Jovetic or Aguero?

          1. 50shades of o'shea
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Aguero

          2. Sebbo29
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Just wait a few more hours until official PC from CHE

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Wait for the press conference at lunch time, but I'd go Jovetic.

          4. Moin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            wait for the presser

        5. Curly619
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          1 FT and .5 in the bank do i need to trade ?

          Confident in Dzeko playing as it's just a cut ,not sure if Aguero and Jovetic will start together.

          Begovic

                I pulled the trigger this week and wc'ed. I decide to go with the front three of aguero Rooney and Jovetic. With the thought in my mins that I am transferring Jovetic out for Balo after this game week.

                Opinions please

                  Jove to Balo? Howz your MID and DEF?

                    Krul (Gilks)

                    Clyne Vertonghen Janmaat (Hutton Wisdom)

                    Lamela Sterling Tadic Cabella (Marney)

                    Aguero Jovetic Rooney

                      Chelsea?!! Arsenal?!!!

                  I would wait and see on Balo...I would also consider Sanchez if I was on WC..he's gonna be Arsenal's striker..and I would keep space for Di Maria as well

                    Di maria
                    Balo

                    Are two of my favourite footballers but I don't know if they will start. As for Sanchez I like him but I hate arsenal.

                      Di Maria's role will be equivalent to Robben's role in the Dutch Squad..but we have to see if he is good FPL wise and how quickly he settles...

                      Sturridge has been poor in the first 2 games..If Balo can perform he may take it..but with Balo it's never Sure..

                        What? Robben basically played up top with RVP during WC at least. You think di Maria will be used that far up the pitch? I was thinking he'd play in the midfield alongside Herrera with Mata in front of him 😮

                          10 years, 2 months ago

                          I meant importance wise and the type of player he is..

                            Oh okay, that makes sense 😀

                          I think this too as we already have so many in the advanced positions

                      There are three big mistakes in your missive which suggest you're not a great FPL player

                Play PvA or Chambers this week?

                  • 10 Years

                  PvA, Chambers will prob not start

                    • 11 Years
                    10 years, 2 months ago

                    I think he will since he didn't start against Besiktas.

                    I thought he might after how knackered arsenal gonna be after midweek

                Okay Considering the Tough Group the Man City got...is fair to consider that the likes of Injury Prone players like Silva and Aguero will be rested the GW before the CL match?

                So that makes Jovetic a great FPL Pick?

                  I don't think they'll be rested but definitely limited game time - off at 45-60

                    Thinking the Same thing... but could also mean Navas and other Fringe players may come into it a bit more...

                      In Mids I would only go for Silva from Man City..

                        Nasri is a good pick, no?

                          Nasri is a good pick..I don't like..that's why I don't pick him..

                    I usually like to start reading from the previous page before I start posting myself, just to see what's being talked about...

                    I don't usually post at all during peak hours since I can't keep up with all the comments... much more used to DZ pace...

                    A lot more than the average from you three I think. Is it the longer you've used the site the more you look?

                      am gonna try stay away for WC at the moment... willing to take a few hits...

                      will most likely upgrade hendo to decent mid if costa will start...

                      thanks all

                        No way why take a hit?

                    • Milan
                      • 15 Years
                      10 years, 2 months ago

                      I would do at least 2 transfers. Defence is a must (Baird or Bruce) and probably Costa out. I think this situation justifies point hits if you do not plan a WC.

                    does anyone know the latest in Costa?
                    what are the chances that he plays?

                    thanks xx

                      talk of 2 strikers playing (gomis and bony) - could be moved out wide

                      It's a good point. Are people scared off captaining cheap players? I think you're right.

                        • 11 Years

                        Theyre cheap for a reason usually. Its not that ee just perceive them to be cheap. Id have no problem captaining Aguero at 6m. Lots of people have captained Terry Cahil etc at 6m. Ough they would be deemed expensive.

                    I have a question I think most of us would like clarifying. Any thoughts would be great:

                    1* Aguero this week becoming essential - Costa -> Aguero now seems the easy move?

                    2* Chadli's potential as a cut price option amongst our midfield?

                    3* Sanchez becoming a great option as he will now (most likely) be deployed through the middle. Essentially giving us an additional striker?

                    I was going to also ask about Di Maria, but I think we'll all hang fire on United for now...

                    1. BeachBadger
                      • 11 Years
                      10 years, 2 months ago

                      1. Aguero always teases this. Wait for him to start a game and not get injured. If costa is indeed out a good option to switch though

                      2. Wait and see its not a once off.

                      3. Sanchez looks a great option on paper but was poor upfront and at 10.4 m too much to blank that often. But yeah seems a good choice.

                      10 years, 2 months ago

                      1) Easy mode but might not pay off over next couple of weeks
                      2) Quite possibly. Would like to get him in for SIgurdsson but will wait a few weeks
                      3) Could be a great OOP prospect but I thought that last week too when he played 45 mins

                      Di Maria - nooooo

                    3. Bolivian Seaman
                      • 13 Years
                      10 years, 2 months ago

                      1. Aguero is essential if he plays a lot. This week I am guessing he will play only 20 minutes unless Man City are struggling. Aguero's gametime may be a bit down for a few months, and Pellegrini will want to give jovetic a big chance to come good

                      2. He is better than others like hendersen. I think spurs are very attacking and his numbers will be good, but it will be sporadic and he gets taken off first for players like lennon/townsend if they need pace.

                      3. Sanchez isn't fitting in yet. He will get better but he isn't prolific yet so keep away

                    Moin what about this?. Planning to do Jovetic to Balo after game against stoke.

                    Krul (Gilks)

                    Vert Clyne Janmaat (Hutton Wisdom)

                    Lamela Tadic Sterling Cabella (Marney)

                    Jovetic (c) Aguero Rooney

                    Or

                    Krul (Gilks)

                    Pva N.Taylor Colo

                    Tadic Sterling Cabella Di maria Sanchez

                    Aguero Balotelli

                      10 years, 2 months ago

                      First one, but wouldn't recommend Balotelli

                      1. 50shades of o'shea
                        • 10 Years
                        10 years, 2 months ago

                        Why do people hate balotelli, I think he is a class striker.

                        1. Whazza

                          He is good, but unsure of how he will fit in at Liverpool. Card magnet as well. You can get in form strikers cheaper, Adebayor for example.

                      I like B..but I will watch both Maria and Balo this week and also wait for the City presser...Both teams lack Chelsea...Like the Cabella punt
