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.

      That would be lovely, Bemba, given his ownership 🙂

      He's one of their most important players. Great for FPL and allows for that upgrade in midfield. Only problem is he's too good to bench.

        this. on a WC and if i get him i'm stuck picking between decent options every week.

      doubt it, RM more likely to rest him for the easy game at Anfield. 😉

      • 11 Years

      I will start following the results once I listen to the scoutcast. important things first and all that

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        they reckon we wont have a good idea until 5 in the morning Vougie.

        Unreal, Mirallas, Naismith & Baines owner here, This hurts watching this

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

          i have stacked my PLay on team with Baines, Howard and Coleman. I need to review that urgently

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Lol at the suggestion anyone south of the border gives a shit 😉

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Wait... Will whisky cost me more? 😐

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

          everything will 🙁

          1. GREENDREAMS11
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            the cost of Union Jack flags outside Ibrox might come down.

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

          yes but whiskey will cost the same 🙂

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Easy transfer 😉

    3. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Except that it's Twitter and in real life the No vote will win comfortably.

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

        this. people with money will vote no and they are less likely to be users of social media

        1. GREENDREAMS11
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Young people could be what swings the vote, 16 year old upwards can vote.

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

            bookies are giving 1/6 on a no vote. pretty safe I think

            1. GREENDREAMS11
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              really, i would have thought it was a lot closer than that.

            2. GREENDREAMS11
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              just read that because the bookies had taken a large amount of money on a no vote they were basically covering their asses by shortening the odds, nothing really to do with expectations, more about cover. also, going back a few weeks the no vote thought it was a foregone conclusion so that all makes sense.

          2. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Lol, have you seen how many young people registered to vote?

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

          the margin is pretty big there.

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

      Interesting, should be a fairly reliable indicator i reckon

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

      that's pretty cool. looks like the polls were right. younger people tweet more than older people 🙂

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

        Which is why the NO campaign shouldn't have allowed under 18's to vote.

    6. Evans
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Have to admit envious of the scots deciding on the union.

  10. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Play Chester (away to Newcastle) incase Hull play 3 at the back or start Hutton (ARS)?

    1. World XI
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Chester. Hutton on the bench as back up.

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

      Agree
      what you doing after with chester? > Chambers? Moreno? Moore?

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

    On WC:
    De Gea > Howard (permanently)
    Dier > Vertonghen (probably just for the next game)

    Would that be a smart move (money is not important)?

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

      Something isn't quite right with Vertonghen. Would avoid.

  12. Kuqi Monster
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    FFS predicts mata not starting, agree or disagree?

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

      Disagree. Same team as last week.

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

        This. And same subs too.

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

          As in during the game.

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

      Mata to start

      RvP to be benched

      1. Ser Football 42
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Falcao start on bench again

    3. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Disagree

    4. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Disagree.

    5. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Disagree. It's based on Mata making way for that new guy. It will be RVP in my opinion

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

        I agree.

        Don't forget to update the spreadsheet when you have finalised your team, which I assume will be tomorrow

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Will do, although I expect and deserve to be benched 🙂

    6. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks for the responses, reassuring for a mata owner.

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I wouldn't be too reassured. I think Mata should be pretty okay but, when push came to shove, LVG took him off instead of an abysmal RVP.

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        You realise we are all also Mata owners right? 😛

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

          I'm not

          1. MJ6987
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Nor me

  13. VougieDipond
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Micah richards assist lol

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

    For those with the choice: Rooney or Ade for captain?

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

      Ade - higher potential this GW I feel

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

        High risk high reward (hopefully)!

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

          Don't think that the risk is that high this GW - Costa and Rooney not at odds to score more than one this GW me thinks

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

    piennar looks like a school kid. Does that mean I'm old?

  16. Evans
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Evening Lads

    I'm on the hunt on a playing mid for 6.1 not Chadli or Siggy

    Is Henderson any good ? And what about Downing ?

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

      Downing has the stats, but it's Downing

      Also consider Schneiderlin, Dyer or Arfield

  17. jurgenizer | TRIPEIROS
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Mirallas \o/

  18. Fergies fledgling
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Evening all. Who should I get in for Chester?

    a) NTaylor
    b) Duff
    c) PVA
    d) Chambers
    e) Keep my FT

    Rest of defence is Ivan - Clyne - Pieters - Moore

    Thanks!

    1. World XI
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      All good options. I would lean towards D

    1. World XI
      • 11 Years

  24. Somalion
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Chadli looks like he's still flying relatively under the radar.

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

      Just 5.6% ownership

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        WBA at the weekend and a rest in Europa (I believe?) so I think he's in my WC team...

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

          yup, didn't travel today, well rested

          coming in for Hazard for me

          1. Somalion
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Now there's a switch!! Fabs in for Haz for me.

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

              it's all about living the dream

              Rooney, Costa, Aguero

              1. Somalion
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 9 months ago

                Similar here, Falcao, Costa, Aguero. Can't resist (even if Falcao takes a week or two.)

  25. Prince of Persia
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I want to do Debuchy to Rafael now. Yes or no?

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

      No

      1. Prince of Persia
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Why not???

    2. World XI
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I would look at a different player

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

      Chambers is a better option, he's the cheapest player of top clubs with a guaranteed starting spot.
      Elswhere Alderweireld, Bertrand, Duff or a Stoke defender are all good options.

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Engrossed in watching my angry Scottish neighbour tonight. Amazing scenes.

    Planning my WC but not quite there yet

  28. Epic Fail
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
