The ScoutCast – Episode 132 – Climax

The final ScoutCast of the season found Granville and I take on the might of Hall of Fame legend, Evs, top 300 ranked Applebonkers and our very own high flyer – Jonty. We certainly know how to make ourselves feel inadequate.

In a mix of retrospective naval gazing and forward thinking speculation, my co-host and I tackle the usual ScoutCast regulars, before we’re joined by our guests to take on another raft of community questions. We talk Gameweek 38 punts, the deadball divas that are Steven Gerrard and Yaya Toure and consider the lessons learned from the past nine months.

You can listen in on the edited Podcast version of the show via this link or the player immediately below, or get the warts and all Hangout version – complete with childminding and Jason Puncheon toilet breaks – via the player below.

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

        Something with flair. Maybe Regional selections? All London, Merseyside, Manchester, etc? There was a nice thread ENR started asking who would win between the cities.

        Could be a nightmare to manage, though...

          Yeah the problem is managing it. Maybe I can change it up this week and have everyone choose two players (under 10m each so no Suarez etc) but no overall price restriction for the two? But I guess that's too different from the original DZ draft. I don't know... If anyone has any ideas feel free to let me know 🙂

        Don't agree with this principle, as hits should be focussed entirely on whether the player you're bringing in is worth -4pts more than the player you're dropping. You could spend -28pts on transfers but if each new player scores 5pts more then it's a success

        Of course I created this problem with a hit Ki>Sterling, but I was burned last week with Rooney, Mata, Azpilicueta, and Ki. So bye to Rooney AND Ki.

        That is one driver, especially at this stage in the season, certainly not the only driver.

        For most the season people take hits either
        A) for value,
        B) the medium term benefit of their team or
        C) to try to make immediate points to capture form / fixture combo,
        Often it's a combo of all 3.

        I've only played fpl for 2 years only, generally in my first year C did not work out straight away, this year the hits just keep on paying for themselves within a week

    Within touching distance of your ML-leading rival but not sure how to close the gap? Looking for that crucial differential to end your season on a high?

    Here's my pick of some midfielders with 1% or less ownership that have the potential to gain you some vital points.

    Willian (7.5m)

    A big Chelsea win is predicted by many against a defensively fragile Cardiff side, and Willian looks almost certain to start.
    - 0.6% ownership
    - 2 goals and 1 assist in his last 5 games

    Bolasie (4.9m)

    Anyone who has seen Palace play recently will know this guys potential, and with a tasty clash against a relegated Fulham team, he looks set to be in the points.
    - 0.1% ownership
    - 3 assists in his last 5 games

    Giaccherini (6.2m)

    With Poyet saying changes will be made for the final GW of the season, the Italian midfielder looks primed for a rare start.
    - 1% ownership
    - 1 goal and 3 assists in his last 102 minutes of playing time 😯

    Arnautovic (5.1m)

    Averaging 6.5PPG over his last 8 appearances, the Austrian is in a purple patch of form and has really flown under the radar.
    - 0.7% ownership
    - 2 goals and 2 assists in his last 4 games
    - playing a WBA team with nothing to play for.

        I've seen Schurrle mentioned a lot here recently, but I think Willian is the better pick. Schurrle has 5 blanks in a row and often gets substituted early IF he starts (only played the full 90 minutes three times all season). I think he's also competing with Salah for a starting spot.

          Schurrle's competing for a WC play atm though isn't he? Could be that extra piece of motivation he needs to tear Cardiff a new one - Thinking back to his hatty against a similarly woeful Fulham defence
