The ScoutCast – Episode 136 – Bangin

Fond of sand dunes and salty air, Granville returns from “avin’ it large” in Ibiza, to join me once again in the ScoutCast studio.

The ageing hedonist and I rinse through the regulars – giving our views on the week’s transfer bandwagons, whilst previewing the weekend and giving a shout-out to those managers blazing trails atop the various Fantasy Football Scout leagues.

Inevitably, we also moan about our Gameweek mishaps, discuss the latest development in the United revolution and surf the waves being generated by the Fantasy Premier League price tweaks.

Drop the beats via this link or “roll another fat one” via the handy player below…

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

    How's this for a WC team?

    Krul
    Rafael, Chambers, Hutton
    Siggy, Fab, Sterling, Ramsey
    Rooney, Aguero, Diego Costa
    (Elliot, Duff, Moore, Boyd)

    I think it's bloody super if you ask me 🙂

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      It's actually very good.

      Although, you must have missed the fact that Newcastle don't keep CS 😛

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Hopefully tony pulis gets brought in to replace pardew! In the meantime, krul will still hopefully collect save points

        1. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I have Krul/Foster so I can't talk. Although, I've had them from GW1

    2. Birds of Prey

      defense is crap.But you know that.

      Newcastle is in last. Take Evans over Rafael. Chambers has 2 yellow in less than 3 full games, not great fix's coming, no CS's. Take Wilson or even Robertson. Hutton has brutal fix's start Duff. McCarthy will play at 4.0. IMO GL great 7

  2. Turtlepower

    Falcao likely to be next bandwagon? Not this gw, but if he starts, plays well and scores, he'll be a better pick then Rooney going forward.

    Wondering if I should leave funds for Rooney to Falcao(on wildcard) in such a scenario.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      How many games will he have to go without scoring before people get nervous & the knives come out? 4 games is my guess...

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

        ?

        My plan is to go with Rooney on my wildcard, but leave at least 0.6 in bank to transfer Rooney to Falcao in case he fires.

        If he doesn't and Rooney looks better, will keep Rooney.

    2. Not Irish
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'm planning for him.

  3. rickardinho
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Which would you play?

    A) Begovic at QPR
    B) Krul home vs Hull

    1. Not Irish
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Never B. Ever.

      1. rickardinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        He's still the highest owned keeper...

        1. Birds of Prey
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          and most changed on WC's.

  4. Tyler the Pritts
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Poll:
    Question #1: Is United on the verge of hitting a run of form or is this a spark among mostly smoke the first 10 GWs?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      A spark.

      It's gonna take much more for the team to gel than against QPR at home.

    2. rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      They just played the worst team in the league, at home.

      Much, much tougher tests await

    3. Not Irish
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Big things to come.

      1. rickardinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        ... for Nugent and Ulloa 🙂 🙂

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

      Run of form incoming, confidence would have been boosted by QPR victory. The players are quality, and LVG will turn things around.

      Speaking as a hopeful Man United fan.

    Price changes on the way.
    Hoping for no Debuchy drop today.

    1. Tyler the Pritts
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'm hoping for no Lovren, how long has he been past 100% according to TFPL?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        No idea, haven't looked for a while.

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years

      looks like he went down 🙁

  6. Not Irish
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    A Welbeck brace would solve many things for me next week.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      Sounds painful.

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      he got one last season away to villa, so the signs are there 😀

      1. Not Irish
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Would be brilliant, for FPL anyway. 😀

      Dier again? WTF

      1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        seems the bandwagon has been rekindled with WBA on the horizon...87k transfer in this week

        1. rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Lol, another 2 pointer incoming.

          Gonna find his final points summary hilarious to look at:

          15,14,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,2,1,6,2,1,3,2,1,5,2,1,1

      1. Not Irish
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Dier rising again is bizarre. I'll stop trying to follow NTI now.

        Debuchy and Albrighton. Ouch!

    • rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Meh, caulker didn't drop and naylor didn't rise. Should have held on another day.

      Hopefully the changes happen tonight when the so-called "casuals" make their changes

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years

        Told you 😉

        1. rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Still another day for changes to happen.

          Caulker is by far the most owned player over 130% in the red on TFPL and has had massive selling this week. Has to be due a fall.

          And if not, at least I got myself a solid long-term 4.5, who solves my benching crisis as now I won't play Tadic at Swansea and instead play fabregas 🙂

      Albrighton dropping will have caught a few, and Debuchy

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        0.2 down for me.

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

          too slow off the mark, should of shipped Debuchy for Rafael , may as well wait now

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years

            On holidays, will sort it out sooner or later.

        2. rickardinho

          Haha, can't say I didn't snigger a little bit when I saw this post, after your "told you so" 🙂

          You won't have been the only one as most Debuchy owners were probably waiting for the pressers. Unlucky mate

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years

            Wasn't surprised. Should have happened earlier.

      2. Not Irish
        • 10 Years

        Albrighton drop avoided. Penny saved, penny earned they say.

          Yep that wildcard in GW3 has made well over a million now, they said it couldnt be done, but many of my original team have fallen this week

                  Your rank probably destroys my 289k though.

                  My captain picks have disapointed greatly so far

            For me as well. That it brought points as well makes it that much sweeter.

      @Mull

      Used the online web app for the first time today and got a Di Maria team of the week, no idea what to do with it 😆

      1. Mull
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        First of all you're a very lucky person. 😀
        Find out what he's going for and sell him for that price. You should have enough coins to make really good teams all year.

        1. Mull
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Actually wait until the game comes out and then sell him.

          1. The Finnisher
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Ahh well that helps my query below. Cheers.

        2. The Finnisher
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah haha, I'm just wondering if I wait for the game to come out for more people to have coins to buy him or not as I doubt anyone can afford what I'll be asking at this stage 😉

          1. Mull
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            He'll sell for bucketloads when the game opens. You may as well play with him first because you'll probably never get a player than good again.

            1. The Finnisher
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              I should be able to build a good XI with the coins from him but I'll definitely try him out. Couldn't believe my luck.

          My bad, not a team of the week but still a good pull.

          • 12 Years

            Ya it's sweet alright, it's going to piss of a mate rightly too who plays ultimate way too much haha. thanks to you again just for posting,

    • Turtlepower
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Rank Hutton, Duff and Moore as cheap defender options if you choosing between them on a wildcard? Not sure if picking 1 or 2 of them.

      Hutton - in best defence but fixtures cannot be worse. Will be benched for at least 5 out of next 6 fixtures. Defence good enough to nick an unexpected clean sheet in the tough fixtures if have to play him. Seems nailed.
      Duff - Burnley seems quite solid and last few games has been good. 36 yrs old and facing some competition from loanee(till Jan) Keane.
      Moore - Leicester def seems decent and he is nailed.

      Duff is more popular this gw coz of recent results, but Leicester might be better defensively going fwd and Moore will be most secured going forward so don't have to worry about the 4.0 slot? Hutton would be a long term investment if getting him in due to his horrendous fixtures.

      1. Jay_
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I have Moore and Hutton, all 3 plus Ivanovic an Baines wouldn't be the worst idea in the world though.

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

            From past season's experience, having at least 1 is optimal. Having 2 this year looks viable due to having the 3 options to switch around.

            Would advise against having all 3, one of them being dropped or injured would leave you scrambling for options as difficult to upgrade then.

        • rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          For me those 3 are equal. The main thing I look at is where the holes are in the fixtures of my top 4 defenders and where I need cover here-and-there. In my case Moore is the best option, but it'll be different for everyone.

          However, if you plan on playing a 4.0 every game it might be a little different, but few people do that.

            Duff, Hutton, Moore.

            Burnley look set for a good amount of home cleanies. Save with Villa but fixtures poor atm.

      2. Not Irish
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        That's an even mil on my WC now. Made .6 in selling value and avoided Rooney's drop. Studge, Jove and now Albrighton's drops avoided. And I imagine more to come.

          People on WC's weren't the only ones to make profits. I made 0.8 in gw4 without making a single transfer 🙂

          1. Not Irish
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            As did I but I'm not including them. 😛

            1. rickardinho
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              In anycase most profits are on players like fab and Costa who I'll keep for a long time so it makes no difference. What hurts are price drops on players that are highly transferable. I took a hit a few weeks back to get rid of Davis when he fell, and although it hasn't paid off points wise te 0.1 drop effectively saved me 0.5 in spending power at the time and even now I have 0.5iyb instead of a significantly less useful 0.4 because of it.

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

            Let them. They are still trying to justify their wildcard decision..for every 0.1 they avoided. The fact is that u avoided a drop for this player in your original team blah blah u will always have a new player to drop price which u bring in on wc

        Should I play Krul (HUL) or Mannone (bur) this week?

        Given Newcastle's form, Away fixture option looks more likely for a cleanie this week.

        1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Mannone imo

      4. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Anyone think putting the C on Falcao this week might pay off gangbusters? I mean everyone is so high on Rooney for C that I don't see how it could be a bad thing when Falcao starts this weekend. If you think Rooney will be great , just wait until you see how Falcao rips the back of the nets open.

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Not for a 20min show
          Not when Leicester 1 United 1 will be the score
          Not when I don't have Falcao

          1. Costa Nostra
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            What makes you think he won't be a starter ? Everything I've read is pointing to him starting for sure. I'd be shocked if he wasn't in the lineup. Time for RVP to take a seat and see how it's done.

            1. PhoggyRatherGroggy
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              Agreed, RVP should take a seat. The only problem is that him and LVG are BFFs!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          No way. Too risky for captain

          Hey costa - what did you think of falcao last year? I thought he was average to say the least... And that was in france!

          1. Costa Nostra
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            He played only 20 games and scored 11 goals because of an injury, so if your grading on a curve, then maybe he's average!

            2011-2013 on Atletico Madrid 68 games........52 goals.
            2009-2011 on Porto 51 games......41 goals.

            The guy is a goal scoring machine period. If he is healthy, he will score and score them in bunches.

            On another note, I don't exactly get how anyone can be so high on Rooney and not on Falcao. Rooney will be moved to the hole and Falcao will be up front hammering in crosses from DiMaria and Herrera and possibly Mata all game long.

            Time will tell, but I'd be willing to bet that there will be a mad dash to add him to people's teams as fast as possible just as soon as he puts one or two away. The dash begins this weekend after the game. Cheers!

        Decided to sell terry. Never liked the man and now he is trolling me in ffs.
        Biggest mistake this season.
        Also Chester has to go. Thinking
        A) Bertrand trippier
        B) Manquillo Bertrand
        C) duff Bertrand/Manquillo
        D) Williams? Taylor shakwell
        E) baines duff

        Any opinions e is nice but most expensive by far

          Rafael & chambers... Circumstances have conspired to leave them both seriously underpriced... 9.8 for the pair

        Just been on a United forum and they're pretty much all in agreement with what team will play on Sunday.

        -----------De Gea
        Rafael Evans Rojo Shaw
        ------------Blind
        ------Herrera Di Maria
        -------------Mata
        ------Rooney Falcao

          They wrong.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Looks pretty powerful to me. Even if they decide to bench Mata instead of RVP, well....it's still powerful. Either way Falcao is about to open his account in a big way in the next couple of fixtures.

          1. Weasel Boy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          • 10 Years

          On current form, that would be my preferred line up.

        Naismith captain anyone?

        1. Mull
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I'm benching him 🙂

          1. Weasel Boy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Hmm interesting
            I would expect a few goals in that game

        2. rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I might make him VC but there's a risk that he's benched for Osman or Eto'o who didn't start the EL game, so captaincy is out of the question.

          1. Weasel Boy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Benched?
            He's got 4 goals in all comps so far why would he be benched?

            1. Weasel Boy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              3 goals and an assist 😀

            2. rickardinho
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              He's not that young so Thursday-Sunday will take it's toll. Someone has to be rotated and it might be him, just as it could be mirallas (in fact I think Pienaar will take either his or mcgeadys place... And then there's Atsu as well)

        3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          not for me - not convinced of his potential for double digits 🙂

        4. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Will start him but C is on Rooney for me

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Hmm
            Maybe DiMaria or Falcso then for me instead

        Hi All

        After some advice on this team, have decided to stick it out with Hazard and also Mata (for now), have 1 FT, having been toying with downgrading Cahill this week with an aim to upgrade Larsson next with an aim of moving to a 3-5-2, would love to hear some thoughts.....cheers

        Krul (Foster)

        Cahill Chambers Bertrand (Wisdom Rio)

        Ramsay Hazard Mata Siggy (Larsson)

        Costa Rooney Naismith

        1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          save ft and reassess later imo 🙂

          1. waldo666
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Cheers mate......would be nice to head into a GW with 2 FT for a change that's for sure!

      12. rickardinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Why do people keep saying that Rafael is such a good option?

        Sure, he's an attacking fullback at 5.3 in a top side, but - he's injury prone, rotation risk (young, Valencia, smelling) and isn't on form, not to mention that Uniteds fixtures will get tougher soon and their defense overall is pretty poor. Bertrand and Clyne are miles better, even together.

        1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          plus we cant judge too much from that qpr game...agreed

        2. Not Irish
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Smalling's days on the right are done. His only real threats are Jones and Valencia. But of course the real issue is fitness.

          The cool kids are going with Blackett.

          1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            i guess you are the only cool kid around, then... 😉

            1. Not Irish
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              Visionary. 😎

        3. Joggers Nipple
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Agree Rick, too much being judged on one game and a formation that was dictated by injuries in other areas. He may well be a good shout but a bit of calm for now imo

      13. rickardinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Bench one of each:

        - Siggy / Tadic
        - Taylor / Clyne

        Leaning towards both Swansea players as I want to avoid having attack vs defense. Clyne could get attacking returns though so might be worth it over naylor... What do you think?

        1. Not Irish
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Tadic Clyne

        2. laGan1n1
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          play Soton's boys

        3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Tadic and Naylor - you can take this safe route or go for the more risky double up

          1. rickardinho
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Benching Siggy at home just doesn't sit right

            1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              no I meant bench Tadic and Naylor 😳 🙂

              1. rickardinho
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 9 months ago

                Oh sorry, I forgot what my original question was!!

                Yeah Siggy-Clyne seems like the options with least risk and most offensive upside. Clyne scored at anfield and has 5+ Points in every game so far afterall

      14. Turtlepower
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Anyone keen on Chadli?

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Anyone else desperately hoping that Baines stays quiet in the next 3 games to keep his price at 6.9 until gw8? That's gonna be a massive bandwagon regardless of what he does in the next 3 but it would be nice to get on that wagon at 6.9 still 🙂

        1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          aye, fingers crossed! 🙂

          1. rickardinho
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Working my way towards this team:

            Bego
            Baines Clyne chambers naylor Moore
            Siggy fab Tadic Ramsey Sterling
            Costa Rooney Naismith

            Just 2 more trades before doing Lovren>Baines gw8. Praying that Lovren doesn't drop before then 🙂

        who to bench this week?

        Fabs (city), sterling (whu), ramsey (av), silva (CHE), siggy (SOU)
        rooney (lei), costa (city), naismith (CRY)

        currently have siggy on the bench with southampton playing well... but not convinced. surely cant bench ramsey, rooney or naismith??

        1. ★FLiPsKiLLz★
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I wouldnt bench Siggy specially at home. I would bench Sterling tbh out of all the choices you mentioned.

        2. Hog Roast Junkie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Silva

        3. Chelsea Dagger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Silva

      17. Mull
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I've got to avoid hauls from ADM, Sterling and Fabregas whilst hoping I bench the correct one from Naismith, Tadic and Sigurdsson. Got a feeling I'm going to have a very bad week.

        1. laGan1n1
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          just play Tadic and everything will be ok

          1. Mull
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            99% sure I'm benching Naismith.

        2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          we all have players that we are scared of not owning 🙂

          benching attacking players is always a nightmare - one of the annoying things about owning naismith 🙁

          1. Mull
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            At least I'll get his price rise if he scores. Couldn't show my face on here if I bench Tadic and he scores.

            1. laGan1n1
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              i have Tadic shirt, he gave me about one year ago

              but Serbia shit, i want Soutampton first kit 😀

          2. rickardinho
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            I see it differently from seemingly everyone...

            If I bench an attacker who scores well that game I'm not pissed but actually happy. It shows I have a good asset who will rise in value.

            Case in point Naismith himself- I haven't caught most of his points as he's been benched, but I have earned 0.6 on his rise.

            1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              i know what you mean - but for me thats like small compensation for missing out on points, especially when you see more fancied players blank! 🙁

              but yes, thats a good way to look at it - i like your thinking, i should probably try it! 😀

        3. Joggers Nipple
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I would bench Tadic

      18. andres
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Major risk in my team:
        -5 players from swa sot game.. Benching clyne?
        -3 players from pool.. Offload balo?
