The ScoutCast – Episode 145 – Retro

This week’s ScoutCast is a throwback – a return to the days when Granville moaned about his team of red flags and names like Robin van Persie and Yaya Toure dominated our thinking.

Granville and I slip into such subject matter like it’s a pair of old slippers, whilst assessing the Aguero fall-out, the Dzeko option, Ivanovic versus “Dave” Azpi and how I’ve modelled my Fantasy Football management style on Roy Hodgson.

We roll out the regulars and lament the demise of the ScoutCast team – eliminated in the opening round of our own cup competition. Some things never change.

Swim in nostalgia via this link or roll back the years via the player below…

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

    chambers => zab (-4) or play this team?

    Forster (McCarthy)
    Naylor Azpi clyne (Moore CHAMBERS)
    downing Yaya Haz Alexis Boyd
    Costa Bony (AUSTIN)
    1.9, no FT

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      that -4.

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      -4 it

    3. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Half of the FPL universe will be taking a -4 or worse this week. If I were you I'd resist.

      1. enrico.palazzo
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Exactly spot on.

  2. Super-Hans
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Good to go? No hit so far, and I really think I should leave it as it is even though my keeper and my defence is rather sh*t....! Thoughts? Who to captain? Is considering Sanchez, but scared one of the two from Chelsea will go mad and punish me for not believing in them....!

    Green - (Krul)
    Bartley - Wisdom - Hutton - (Naughton) - (Duff)
    Sterling - Sanchez - Hazard - Siggy - (Downing)
    Rooney - Costa - Dzeko

    Play Siggy at home to TOT or Downing away to SUN? Benched Downing last week and got burned....

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      This is the issue with front 8s like this. Sterlo could be Yaya.

      Capn Haz.

      1. Super-Hans
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Don't have the funds to do Sterling to Yaya, unfortunately. And I don't like hits...!
        Will consider Haz, cheers.

    2. Joggers Nipple

      9 years, 10 months ago

      Number 1. Great user name
      Number 2. How are you doing overall? I know people will sniff at the ultra cheap defence but i like that route generally.

      bench Downing i guess

      1. Super-Hans
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        1. Cheers, Sab. Peep Show is great!
        2. After a horrible start I've been doing alright lately. So I'm 55k at the moment. But two years ago I was number 9 in the world a couple of weeks before end of season, so everything seems to be a dissapointment after that...! But that year I went for the cheap-defence-route, and that is what I'm trying to reproduce this year. How about you? How's your team? Overall rank?

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          1. Totally agree
          2. Been pretty fortunate and around 2k at the moment. Just this week got my first 'big' defender of the season.

          Had-
          Hutton Yun Chambers NTaylor Clyne

          Did chambers to Zab
          Started with Chambers from beginning of season

          Think having a strong front 8 over xams where rotation and rest kicks in will do you well. A good 1st sub will prob be called upon

    Horrible weekend of injuries, suspensions e.t.c. as with everybody else.

    Decided I'd leave Fabianski and have a non-playing goalkeeper as my only other keeper was Hamer who I've carried as a 4m since GW1.

    Just found out he's playing this weekend (though it is against City).

  4. FPL Touches
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Stalling over my Fabregas transfer, I already own Sanchez, Hazard and Siggy

    A) Yaya (4 YCs)

    B) Ramsey

    C) Silva

    D) Mirallas

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yaya.

    2. Punty
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yaya

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Keep him

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        +1

      2. Root
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Shhh

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      yaya.

  5. only2
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Im gonna take a gamble on Nasri. Whos with me?

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      You're on your own I'm afraid which out of 3 million players plus, is quite a feat. 😉

      1. only2
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Haha, Im desperate! Way to far behind

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      might join you next week

      extremely good punt if mid-week match is a signal he's on form

      1. only2
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah!

    3. enrico.palazzo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yep! 5 man mid for me

      1. enrico.palazzo
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        And I'm 5 k. Must be a good risk haha 😉

    4. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I like nasri as an option but cant see myself captaining him so i would need at least one other city player who i would captain, so it may never happen. The way the fixtures are shaped having a city captain option looks essential to me to cover chelsea tougher fixtures

    5. tokara
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      i might, yaya is too slow when man city is doing a counter attack

      silva is still not ready for 90mins and nasri is on corner kicks

  6. Kuqi Monster
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    The rooney brace this GW will shake things up a bit...

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yep - can see a response from him this week.

    2. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Can he score 2 goals? 😮

    3. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      You are mistaken. Its an hattrick

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Ur confusing Rooney with RVP.

  7. ralfb
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Is herrera playing against pool?

  8. Mr Blue
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Yaya @ 6,66% of the votes in captain poll.. 😀
    Yaya (C) and Hazard (VC) this week, Leicester will concede atleast 3, again

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Which poll?

      1. Mr Blue
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        The captain poll, front page... Guess someone just voted, up to 6,67% now 😀

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Sorry! mis-read it as 66.6%

    2. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      *6.67 😉

  9. AleksanderVN
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Pick one:

    A: Naylor, Ivan, Silva
    B: Yun, Azpi, Yaya

    1. Mr Blue
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      B imo, Silva was tempting me too but I went for Yaya (and Azpi).

    2. XhakaCan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      B

    4. AleksanderVN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Hmm, I thought it should be closer consider Yaya's 4 YC, and Azpi rotation risk.

  10. HellasLEAF
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Is anyone else liking the idea of Milner for cheap mid?

    1. Mr Blue
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Too expensive to be a 5th midfielder imo, not good enough to be 4th.

    2. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Wish I had cash to upgrade my 5th mid to Milner 😐

    3. mookie

  15. Tree House
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Ameobi nailed? Any reason why he's not a better pick than boyd?

    1. baraka1670
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Doesnt get full 90mins plus when 1-2 New Castle players would be back than he ll be back on bench....IMO he is playing good recently

      1. Tree House
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        As I thought thanks bud

  16. Son of Rambo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    1. Boyd > Silva and start Yun/Dummett
    Or
    2. Chambers > Zab and start Boyd

    1. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      1

      1. Werkself
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I meant to say 2.

    2. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      2

    3. John Nerdelbaum
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      2

    4. Son of Rambo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      2 will mean a lot of funds in defence, Baines, Azpi, Zab, Yun, Dummett

  17. Yinyang 42
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Is anyone else giving the captaincy to RVP this week?

    He looked in good form in Man Utd's last game and should stand a good chance of scoring against Liverpool, who will be all sad post-Baselgate.

    1. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      they are fierce rivals mate..don't think it'll be high scoring game though

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        but Robins sure has a habit of scoring against 'Pool..

        1. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          but liverpool has tighten up their defense lately, with lucas coming into the side..however, with kolo injured and lovren as replacement, you know there is a chance to score goals against them 😉

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            he scores when he wants.. you know that 😉

            1. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 10 months ago

              i'll definitely get rvp or rooney if they are playing against other team this gw, but it is against an old rival..and united has not been convincing enough this season

        2. Holmes
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Just like against Arsenal 😉

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            🙁

    2. baraka1670
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Dont have him if i had him than mite have considered but i am still not sure about who is on penalties for Utd as as far as i remember they havent got a single penalty this season

    3. enrico.palazzo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      The team had 3 attempts the whole game (2 rvp and 2 goals)
      That's not good form

  18. Tinmen
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Something i'm unsure of folks

    My mate/rival put Aguero in last week of 12.9 and he's now dropped to 12.6
    What will his selling value be if he transfers him out today?

    1. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      12.6

      1. Tinmen
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        How come he loses 0.3 but if Aguero had of scored a hat trick and rose 0.3 he wouldn't of got a sell value of 13.2

        1. Werkself
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Because those are the rules of the game.

          1. Tinmen
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            Interesting

        2. baraka1670
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Its not a vice-verca thing mate
          U got your answer y go deep into it and by your concern i guess its you who bought him for 12.9 last week

          1. Tinmen
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            It's not
            Sorry, just curious to know

          2. Pap Le Cissier
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

            *his rival 😉

        3. enrico.palazzo
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          50% of profit made does not go to sell value. Ie
          Buy for 12.0 rises to 12.4 Sells for 12.2 (.2 profit)
          You cant sell a player higher than the market rate ie if they drop .3 they sell at the .3 drop

        4. Pap Le Cissier
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          You get 0.1 in selling value for every 0.2 he rises

        5. Tinmen
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Cheers guys
          Good to know. First year playing this

    2. baraka1670
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      12.6

    3. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

    My mate is convinced Jovetic is the best pick in City attack.

    Reasons being Jovetic started the season for City. And he has been playing with Kun the past few games, so without Kun, it's only logical he starts.

    Just to get facts right - Jovetic started the season due to Kun injury. And has been playing with Kun up to past few games due to Silva+Dzeko being out with injury right?

    1. Mr Blue
      • 13 Years

      Tbh I think Dzeko and Jovetic will share minutes, depending on who they play.. And imo none of them are a good enough option, atleast not yet

    2. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      personally i think jovetic is more suited to play behind a striker (kun/dzeko), which is the reason why he is playing well. but will have to wait and see if he can play as a lone forward role

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Far from clear either way imo

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Fair point to him. But for FPL, i think Yaya is the better pick when Kun is out.

      Jovetic is in my fantrax team so I;m okay with that 🙂

    5. Chris_White
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Dzeko more likely to lead the line, so if Jovetic starts they will probably both start. I can see them both starting in a couple of the home games, at least.

      1. Mr Blue
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Not so sure about that with Silva back.. guess we have to wait and see.

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I agree with this have to just wait and see

    6. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      If they play a lone striker it will be Dzeko imo. With2 strikers obviously both depends how he lines up

    7. Shifty
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks fellas, def agree on depends on the formation - either is a risk. But probably a risk worth taking.

      FYI, that's the mindset of a casual. So...Jovetic brace on the cards?

    Some advice please

    *FAB* *McCARTHY*
    Clyne Wisdom Yun *CHAMBERS* *MOORE*
    Haz Sanchez Oscar Siggy *OBERTAN*
    Costa Bony *AUSTIN*

    Thinking Chambers ➡ Zab
    McCarthy ➡ Panty (-4)

    Gives me a playing 11 although no cover this week so a Zaba rest is concerning

    Thoughts?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      You confused me with that Fab. And please, don't shout. 😉

      Yeah I;d do it. Good moves.

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      if you need someone nailed on, get an Everton defender

      or why not just get Hart in for Fabianski and do Chambers to Debuchy or Evans instead?

      No hits.

  23. Cheeseoid

    My PP cup opponent has made 2 transfers. I wonder if he took a hit?

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Check previous gameweek's transfer history?

    2. mookie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      you can check out his transfer history if you really want to know

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Never even thought about spying on someone before. He is much higher in the world than me though

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          No hit damnit

        2. mookie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Never go that far myself.

            • 12 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            I don't think your transfer information should be available at all. Last weeks lineup should be sufficient

            1. money face bandwagon
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 10 months ago

              i think its fair..u earn value by making early transfers..but at the same time u risk injuries and u let everyone knows what transfers u are likely to make

    Jedanik as 5th mid.

    thoughts..

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      fine

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Too expensive

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Good shout, 5th mids may well be called on over xmas and we are all flush with Aguero cash

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      poor man's Gerrard. More nailed on nowadays. I'm fine with that.

  25. Azathoth

    When Kun's price is gonna be locked?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      After the flag is removed. I think. Thresholds rise by being flagged. Again, i think

    2. fishnil
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      It's locked for this week though. Already -0.3 falls. may open up again after this week.

    4 point hit for Chambers > Ivan

    Good to go ?

    Foster

    Zabaleta , Ivan , wisdom

    Eriksen , Hazard , Boyd ,Oscar , Sanchez

    Aguero , Bony

    Mannone, Austin ,Caulker ,Moore

    £1.8m in bank .

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good. Would nearly start Caulker ahead of Boyd

  27. Gregor

    Anyone think Hart is worth getting over Pantilimon?

    1. baraka1670

      Nope City is consistant in conceding goals this season

    Hi everyone !

    I'm really in trouble... this is my team :

    Fabianski** - McCarthy (not 1st choice...)

    Baines - Hutton - Wisdom - Chambers** - Duff*

    Sanchez - Fabregas** - Chadli (not nailed on... and played with 2nd team in EL) - Sidgy - Boyd

    Austin** - Aguero** - Costa...

    So i have only 7 players for this week...

    I will take a -8 at less maybe a -12... (i already used my WC...) :

    What do you think about :

    McCarthy + Chambers + Chadli + Aguero > Pantilimon + Debuchy + Hazard + Benteke ?

    Any other idea ?

    1. Mr Blue
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      No need to transfer out Chambers for a hit really, is it?
      U can play Baines, Hutton and Wisdom this week.. thats fine... And tbh, Im not so sure Chambers will loose his spot at this point.

      1. oxido_76
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        i think he will... The 1st arsenal defense is : Deb - Merte - Kosc - Gibs imo (but he can keep his spot thanks to the injuries...)

        if i don't transfer out Chambers i have only 10 men this week (i'm to short to transfer out Duff...)

        I don't think chadli will play this week... He played yesterday...

        1. Mr Blue
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Yes that is our best defence, but Kos is out.. Debuchy just back.. Monreal still out, Gibbs injuryprone... And we will get another injury for sure 😀

          Just my thoughts tho.. Its a mess really.. but -12 is never fun to take 😀

          1. oxido_76
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah i know... thanks for your reply 😉

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

        He only has seven players and Chadli.

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

          So basically he has six and a guy who will enter a game off the bench...

          Take the -8

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I was in a similar position. Get shot of Chambers. Then Aguero. Duff could also be next in line, I think...

    3. Shifty
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yikes.

    4. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Sounds good.

    5. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Chambers might well play next gw. I got rid of Duff instead of chambers for Zab

    6. oxido_76
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks everyone 😉

  29. baraka1670
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Why take a hit on a defender even if he gets CS now u only get 2 which eventually u would have got for Chambers even he wudnt have got a CS

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Eh?!

    2. Shifty
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      taxi! he's drunk

    3. Gonna mesut up
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, but Chambers looks like someone we need to ship out soon anyways. Debuchy is back and Kosc won't be out for long.

    4. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Because shipping out chambers gives 11 players.

  30. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Would like Dzeko as would wish to captain him next week. Think I might get Lukaku instead and then do Sterling --> Silva (c) the week after.

    Thoughts on this ? Got to hope Silva gets an assist or two... 🙄

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

      Makes sense to me. I really wanted one of Dzeko and Jovetic to stand out midweek. Instead they gave us more questions than answers...

      I went with Lukaku and Yaya. Silva is annoying. When I have him he gets assists, when I don't he gets goals and baps!
