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.

    Bottom of the page repost, sorry

    Begovic / Gilks
    Cahill, Caulker, van Aanholt / Chester, Wisdom
    Fabregas, Sterling, Ramsey, Sigurdsson / S. Davies
    Rooney, Costa, Pelle

    2 FT, 0.6 ITB

    a) Cahill out, Coleman/Baines in only for next week (then to Bertrand)
    b) Chester out, Naylor/Duff in
    c) Ramsey out, Chadli in

    Any opinions ?
    Thanks

    1. FPL Bargain
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      a) if just to Bertrand or b) for Duff

  3. n-doggg

    9 years, 9 months ago

    I quite like dzeko to pelle. Would just do that and save FT for next week. Baines will be cream crackered after tonight

  4. Kerz
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Baines would be on 18pts right now.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Over exerted himself. I was thinking about captaining him until he started tonight.

  5. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
    • 10 Years

    Michu on for Higuain.

  6. FPL Bargain
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Will Chambers play at the weekend? Anyone else heard a tonsillitis rumor? Think he's worth moving in for Chester?

    Lukaku getting a bit of a rest, everton look tired

    How we managed to sign Eto'o I have no idea! Get very excited when I see him!

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      😯

    2. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Great signing indeed, too bad he is getting old

    3. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      how excited?

      More excited than Tina when seeing my grav?

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

        Not that excited 😉

    4. Ghost Ship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      signing on fee and £75k a week for two years probably sorted it.

  9. 420king
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    keseru 3rd hattrick of the day

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

      I recommended him to someone but didn't follow my own advice 🙁

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I recommended captaining Soudani or Athanasiadis to someone.

    2. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      OH yeahh... 😀

    3. 420king
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      adds an assist few min later before being subbed off

  10. lequipebleu1314
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Ivonifish --> Baines
    Baloteli--> Rooney for a -4 hit???

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      First one maybe. Second one no. He just scored in midweek.

    3. A guy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      That's not smart at all 🙂

  11. Ghost Ship
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    great ball from bendtner.

  12. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Baines is seriously tempting.

    1. lequipebleu1314
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Ivonifish --> Baines
      Baloteli--> Rooney for a -4 hit???

      Should I go for it??

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

        I wouldn't be getting rid of Balotelli, let alone for a minus 4.

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

    Baines (c) anyone?

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

      never captain, never bench

    2. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      someone posted before deadline a team with baines c and coleman

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I mightn't if he didn't start today.

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

        I rarely for feedback (never posted a RMT) bit any thoughts on my dilemma would be helpful. I need to pick 3 of the following 4 for this week:

        Terry / Naylor / Chambers / Lovren

        I have Fabregas and Costa so was thinking of benching Terry. feels wrong benching a premium defender.

        My overall rank is 620th so I'm trying to keep pace with the big guns. thanks for any feedback

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I think bench Terry. Tough though.

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

            Thanks - as you can tell I don't post on here much. I haven't updated my link through to my team since last season (just clicked it and it appears to have changed...).

            I always keep an eye on your posts along with the usual suspects EVS / Triggerlips / Nate etc. The thing I've done differently this season is follow my gut a tiny bit more. Seems to be paying off so far.

            Terry is on my bench at the moment... we'll see what happens. Good luck for the rest of the season.

    4. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Decent option.

  14. lequipebleu1314
    • 10 Years

    Make any transfers or hold the line?

    1. mod33
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Bojan should of gone weeks ago don't rate him.
      Straight swap for Naismith

    2. A guy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      If there was ever a time to keep Bojan in for 1 more GW, it's probably now...Wait for the QPR game and ship him out unless he gets a hattrick.

  17. Epic Fail

    4. Ghost Ship

  24. lequipebleu1314
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Clyne Lovern Mirallas . pick two to start please?

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

      Clyne, Mirallas

  25. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Guys is mariappa nailed on for palace ??

    1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Couldn't be any further from nailed mate.

    2. Ghost Ship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      he has started under warnock so far.

    3. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      would yoo have marriapa over duff

  26. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Chambers is incredible value but Arsenal look terrible atm

    Great fixtures in a few though

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      GW 8

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

      I think you'll be purchasing him for the team more than anything else. Still though 4.5m doesn't buy you much elsewhere.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I think maybe he can wait till GW8 (after Spurs and Chelsea) will want rid of Caulker then

        Can get Shackell in this week

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Bellerin only played ad Chambers was ill

    3. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      is chambers guaranteed with bellerin lurking about? thought bellerin looked a bit inexperienced vs dortmund

  27. Ice
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    A dilemma either Rooney or Falcao this week? I'm planning on getting Kun in next week on my FT. Is this a good idea?

    Thanks!!

    1. mod33
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Defo rooney nailed on to start being captain.
      Falcao will take a bit of time, looked sluggish when he came on

  28. mod33
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    And Naismith scoring form continues.... People saying it won't last might be putting him in their team in a few Gws

    1. seanie3
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      he didn't score tonight?

      1. mod33
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Skysports news says he did 🙂

  29. Bellerinmondo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    howard on 11 saves, would be racking up the fpl points

  30. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Just seen Mirallas started tonight, ffs he isn't going to start at the weekend is he?
