The ScoutCast – Episode 109 – Two Men

No thrills. Few spills. Just two men in a room talking about Fantasy Football.

Granville and I handed Jonty and the “Professor” an extended pre-season and rolled the ScoutCast back to its rawest form. Just myself and the Mancunian sharing our thoughts after a summer break and looking forward to another Fantasy campaign.

We talk double Gameweek assets, I roll out the van Persie duvet, Granville reveals more than he should about his team lineup and, around all that, we assess the early bandwagons and preview the weekend fixtures.

Forty-five minutes of two blokes talking about the stuff that’s rattling around in most of our heads right now.

It’s good to be back.

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

      Nope. Looks good. I've gone back to Morrison too, although it' a big risk when we all need our subs GW3 - but just one goal from him will outscore the 2 pointers from most of the bench fodder imo

          Looking at it, the not play risks are Terry, Cardiff Turner, Ravel, Dzeko, Lukaku.

          Although at the least I'd expect Dzeko and Lukaku to sub.

    Deadline is driving me nuts, thought I was done until a couple days ago -

    Migs - Mannone

    Cole - Ward - Clyne - Riether - Brayford

    Walcott - Hazard - Grandin - ? -?

    RVP - Lambo - ?

    Need 2x mids 1x ST

    1. Bellamy - Coutinho - 6.5 ST

    2. Kim - Cout - Altidore

    3. Morrison - Downing - Benteke

    4. Dzeko - Coutinho - 4.5 mid

    I know it's a lot of options but I just need convincing, no idea what to do!

    So here is my team,

    Mirallas Coutinho Hazard Nolan Walcott
    Benteke,Lukaku.

    Subs:Gazzaniga,Ward,Chester,Smith.

    Based on a couple of RMT's, the general concensus of the people around here is that
    A)Doubling up on the city defence,but i think it is worth it with the opening four fixtures (newcastle,hull,cardiff and stoke)
    B)A poor bench (The subs play but are not likely to get me points,but is that an issue when the first 11 is there to get them for me!)
    C)Too much invested in defence,linked with A but looks good to me

        Cheers mate, pretty settled on this now though reasons below;

        Personally seen enough of Aspas to convince me that he will do the business, specially till Suarez comes back and/or we sign someone like Willian (hoping).

        Bony is a Punt. Huddlestone, well I cant think of anyone better at 5.0.

        Will downgrade Terry to someone like clyne or shaw post DGW to move Oscar --> Walcott and then take it from there.

          Cheers, just to throw you a curve-ball, and this is a touch mean as I don't usually ask, but since you did so well last season, what happens if RVP takes off from the start and his price starts rising?

          I'm guessing that is the real concern for a team like this.

      Its not a bad idea especially the cheap sub defenders. But upgrade your attacker to someone like JRod by downgrading Miralles to Snodgrass\Sissoko\Morrison. That way you can keep you City defence and cover players in your front 8 not playing.

      At that price too I have to say it swayed me-but with doubts over his fitness I wonder how likely he is to get much game time? That being said,Arsenal may not have a choice but to field him with their injuries!

        It's a headache, isn't it. I do feel the potential for clean sheets right there but also have punty feeling for Oscar may run rampage. As for Terry, one goal conceded, the cleanies gone there.

      Happy for that above rotation risks like city, etc.

      Sturridge might come in GW2 for lukaku though.

      I see both being FPL monsters this year.
