The ScoutCast – Episode 137 – Precious

Every little point counts. With the mini-league gap between myself and co-host Granville widening by the week, my Mancunian friend can ill-afford to throw points aside in his bid to follow up last season’s victorious campaign.

In and around the usual ScoutCast regulars, Granville recalls the dilemma that saw him get away with benching Cesc Fabregas to the tune of just a single point. Will that prove costly?

We then join forces to run the rule over the accelerating Di Maria bandwagon, assess Rooney’s re-positioning and decide whether those steering away from Ramsey Street need to re-programme their sat navs.

Treasure this nonsense via this link or cling to these worldly goods via the handy player below…

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

        nothing bold about it.. think we all know who will have that little (C) beside their name come saturdays deadline and it wont be cesc 🙂

          it'll be either Cesc or ADM.

      Ballsy pick there for your captain. I like it. Risks need to be taken in order to win big in this game.

    Tadic and welbeck with 2 mil

    Or

    Ramsey and pelle

    1. Falcao92
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tadic and Welbeck even if you didn't have the 2mil saved

    2. Geordienufc1
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mm I'd go for A - think tadic's time is soon and Welbeck looks a better investment than Ramsey at the moment (could change quickly). But it's the 2 extra mil that entices me.

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I have B so I'll say B. Pelle is leading that potent Soton attack and they are against QPR this weekend. As for Ramsey, the goals are not yet there but he still has been involved in those Arsenal attacks so I'd say be patient.

      Pretty good. Are you looking for advice on transfers or something if so give some and no transfers available

      1. CCaddy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yer thinking of pelle instead of dzeko but won't have any city coverage then?

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I would stick.

          1. CCaddy
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I could swap pelle for dzeko and then tadic for Yaya? What do you think?

            1. Cheeseoid
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Is this a WC then? I was assuming transfers were involved. If WC I would have Pelle and Tadic out of those 2.

              1. CCaddy
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                No I have 1 ft and have tadic and dzeko, but could go dzeko to pelle and next week tadic to Yaya/silva.

        2. Geordienufc1
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I wouldn't worry about "coverage" - Pelle looks the better option atm. For a free transfer I would do it.

  6. Geordienufc1
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Interesting point of speculation:

    What, in your opinion, is the lowest current OR from which somebody could end up winning FPL?
    Similarly, by GW 10, how high up (OR-wise) would you have to be to win it?

    Bearing in mind - it's pure speculation - but isn't that what we folk do best? 😛

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I think you wouldn't want to be more than around 50 points behind in GW 10.

        Seems a fair estimation. Counting yourself out then TM? 😛

          • Has Moderation Rights

          I gave up before the season started.
          I can easily be top 5K in 5 GWs though.

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Never give up!

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              I'm realistic. I will never win FPL.

              1. Cheeseoid
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                I am unrealistic and I will win it. Probably this year and every year after until I die

                Well, they say that whether you think you can or you can't, you're usually right.

    Anything worth a hit?

    DDG/Gilks

    Cahill/Chester/Clyne/Duff/Dummet

    Sterling/Ramsey/Di Maria/Siggy/Marney

    Pelle/Costa/Rooney

    Thanks.

    1. Geordienufc1
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I don't like DDG in there, but nothing worth a bit. Looks good 🙂

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I don't like him to. I hate him so much that I'm considering DDG to Forster for -4 😯

        1. Geordienufc1
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          That's a hefty amount of hate. But I'd encourage you to stick. I certainly don't anticipate that DDG will get more than 2 pts, and while I do expect a Saints CS (therefore a likely 6 pts for Forster), if you were to do that for a hit, you're still only getting the same score.

          There's surely a far higher chance that you will lose out on that transfer this week. With Spurs next week (poor as they are), I'd try and hold til GW 8, at which time that transfer seems like it would pay more significant dividends.

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Convinced.

            Thanks 😀

    Ryder Cup starts in 5 hours.. What a day of sport there is tomorrow!

    7am - 6pm Ryder Cup
    12:45 Merseyside Derby
    3pm - West Ham beat United, Saints thrash QPR
    5:30pm North London Derby

    Should probably get to sleep soonish if I'm gonna catch all of that!

    1. 420king
      • 9 Years

      not sure about the Ryder Cup but Merseyside Derby is like 35 hours from now

      1. rickardinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Oh woops, I got a little bit carried away there! 😀

        At least there's golf on tomorrow 😛 (i'll save this post for this time tomorrow instead)

  9. Leight Arrival
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Crazy to consider giving the armband to Clyne?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. Only because there are so many better (C) options this week.

      1. Leight Arrival
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Guess I was getting a bit carried away..

    2. rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You won't know until after the games have been played! If he scores and gets a CS then he'd probably be the top pick, and that isn't that unlikely!

      1. Leight Arrival
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, my initial thoughts. Still thinking about it.

        1. rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          It could pay off handsomely but I would only do it if there was a distinct lack of clear captaincy options. This is probably one of the worst weeks to risk something like that though given how many of the top players have home games in derby's or against weaker teams.

          1. Leight Arrival
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            You're right about that, no need for me to complicate things. 'Preciate it

            1. rickardinho
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              No worries. I also flirted with captaining Lovren a few weeks ago on a hunch just for the fun of it before I came to my senses

  10. SirBruno
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Should I WC or not?

    Bego / Gilks
    Rojo Clyne cahil / Moore colo
    ADM Cesc Rambo Siggy / Wanyama
    Roo Costa Naismith

    I have 1FT and 0.3 itb

    any of these players should I get rid off? Naismith? and I am still giving Roo a chance as a captain!

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Do not wildcard. Funnily enough, I would save your FT and see how the GW goes.
      If United keep it clean, you will be delighted with Rojo.
      Stranger things have happened.

      1. SirBruno
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        How about Rambo to Sterling? Rambo has been so quiet lately..

    2. testmat-20210805.8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Probably replace Rojo and Naismith. United defense is really leaky and Naismith's attacking returns have dried up after that amazing run.

  11. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    This has been a difficult week.
    The temptation to do 3 RMTs every hour of every day has been tortuous.
    Because I know I'm hitting 80+ this week.

    Don't even ask me 😉 I won't type it out because when I did type it out before it made me cry tears of FFSness ness .

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Actually, just ask and I will type it out 😉

          because in truth I'm worried about mine 😥

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would WC if I was you

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I did a bold word 🙁 and now it's all stuck 🙁
      Probably a good thing, you would all be crying with jealousy anyway 😉

  12. Twelve years a slave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Think i will risk waiting a day on the Evans to Chambers transfer, they look very unlikely to change prices today

    1. rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Are you basing that on TFPL/Fiso/fplstatistics?

      1. Geordienufc1
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Based on his immense FPL intuition 😛

        1. rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Haha, true, he does seem like a smart fella, not least from his wise-man-looking avatar 😉

          Fwiw, I think Lovren looks like the most nailed-on fallers tonight (unfortunately). I've also been predicting Caulker falling every day for a week now, so maybe tonight is the night!

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why wait? Evans has an ouchy ankle. It's not as if he's going to make a trip to Lourdes and suddenly recover.

    3. Diva
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I think you'll be safe with Chambers and probably Evans too (although that is slightly harder to judge).

  13. Puyol Pants Up

    DDG to Forster for -4?

    Discuss.

    1. theloveburglar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      put it this way.. it aint gunna take long to get that 4 back with uniteds current defensive troubles

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        How about this GW?

        1. theloveburglar
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          pains me to say it but yeah probably

        2. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          No, a -4 for a GK switch when your GK is at home.
          Deep breath time.

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Well. Its not like United are going to keep CS. Home or away it doesn't matter

            1. RoysCallerAnne
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              No prob, your team, your decision.
              A -4 for a GK isn't my cup of tea. I will leave it at that 😉

    Good morning DZ.

    Good to go?

    Krul
    Caulker Moore Clyne
    Fabregas Ramey Sterling(vc) Sigurdsson
    Rooney Costa(c) Pelle
    McCarthy Boyd Chambers Hutton

    Thanks.

    1. Geordienufc1
      • 10 Years

      Not a fan of that defence, but not worth a hit to fix - good to go.

    2. Captain Peacock
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ew, Caulker. I suppose he's a far bigger goal threat than Chambers though. Rest of the team is good.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers guys. It's obvious that the defense needs fixing. Have 3.0m saved for Baines in a couple of weeks. Caulker will be gone then, barring some miracle 🙂

  17. Captain Peacock
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I know the Baines rule (don't captain, don't bench) but I am seriously considering benching him for Duff. The Burnley game looks like an obvious 0-0 while Liverpool will tear apart that leaky Everton defence. Do I hope for another penalty?

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Play him

      1. Geordienufc1
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This.

    2. Diva
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      The reason you don't bench him is you never know when he'll deliver the offensive points he is great at delivering. And, given Everton's defensive solidity so far this season, I'm guessing you have him in for his offensive returns.

    3. 1314
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Let's hope Liverpool players are exhausted,Clean sheet + penalty 😉

      1. rickardinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Everton have had 1 penalty at Anfield in 135 years. Good luck with that

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Baines is always good for an assist or two. And in the derby games, you can expect a penalty. Play him.

  18. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I'm vexed again, so am asking for suggestions since I'm running out of ideas.
    My current team after using my two free transfers:
    Begovic, Hamer
    Clyne, Terry, Chambers, PVA, Williamson
    ADM, Fab, Larsson, Zaha, Marney
    Costa, Rooney, Ulloa
    5.3M in the bank.
    Zaha seems to have lost favour so could go for Sterling, Schneiderlin, Tadic, Siggy or Dyer for a 4pt hit.
    Any strong opinions or other choices that I may have missed?
    Your input would be very much appreciated.

    1. Captain Peacock
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez

      1. Horizontal
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        With Sanchez's fixtures then I'm reticent to jump on that very small bandwagon.
        Do you really think that he'll tear it up over the next three weeks?

    2. crteer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Surprised you don't already have one of Sterling/Siggy at least in the team, especially with 5.3 ITB!

      I'd suggest getting Tadic/Siggy this game week (unsure how well Sterling will play in the derby), but then aim to bring in Sterling also over the coming game weeks as he has good fixtures.

      1. Horizontal
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'm very tempted by both of those two, Crteer, but Tadic has caught my eye so I'll probably go for him, especially since JWP is injured. He'll be on set pieces and possibly penalties too.
        Not much of a punt, and I don't want a template team if I can help it.
        Thanks, Will.

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      5.3 in the bank after 2 FTs 😳

      Take a step back, no hits this week and see how things pan out.

      1. Horizontal
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'm not a great believer in the "Upgrade X to Y" simply because Y costs more than X.
        Look at the top GK. Heaton from Burnley.
        If anyone had suggested that I changed from De Gea to him then they'd have been laughed off the site, but he's turned out to be a better bet.
        That's the way things are going this season, as far as I can see.

    4. rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I like your Avatar. Very direct.

      1. Horizontal

        9 years, 8 months ago

        🙂 Most people here don't remember the horizontal blue arrow.
        It reminds me of when I was struggling to match my opening GW rank three seasons ago and all I wanted was a blue arrow.

  20. crteer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Should I play Clyne if I have Forster as GK?

    Got Wilson / Moreno as a back up?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Clyne, look at his scores.

      1. crteer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I know he's been a beast, but am I throwing too much into the Saints defensive basket?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Everyone has at least one defender. Clyne doesn't need the CS to score well.

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      play both

    3. 1314
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Clyne is a good pick this week imo..i went for Heaton instead of Forster,knowing that i would always start Clyne (except may be against big guns) and do not want this dilemma of doubling up the defence to bother me..

      1. crteer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Well I have McCarthy as other keeper, so not playing him.

        Other defensive options that I am going to play were Naylor and Duff, with Moreno / Wilson as sub, assuming I play Clyne?

        1. 1314
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          yup Clyne should play then..

      2. rickardinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Why would you bench Clyne against big guns? He already scored at Anfield and at the Emirates... When he doesn't get a CS he gets a goal or assist to make up for it...

        I was considering benching him for the Spurs game but the way they're playing there is no way I'm doing that. He'll play every game apart from maybe City or Chelsea away, depending on my options.

        1. 1314
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          *may be*

      Clyne, PVA, Duff

      Not for Ivan, but Fab.

  24. SirBruno

    Would you go from Ramsey to Sterling?

    I am currently on Ramsey but he's been so quiet lately.. I also have Cesc ADM Siggy and Wanyama on my mid.

    Or I should get rid off Naismith? but I only have 0.3 itb and not sure there is a 5.6 better forward than him.

    Cheers

  25. NATSTER

    Forster and Fab 😎

      Did Fab rise, too?

      1. NATSTER

        Yes, he did.

    2. rickardinho

      Ah sweet! Got Fab 🙂

      Shame that Forster becomes slightly less attractive as Begovic replacement though.

      Crap. Lost 0.1 on Lovren, but that has been coming for a few weeks now. Lovren>Baines will be slightly more expensive in GW8 now 🙁

    2. Twelve years a slave

      Lovren down, anpother .1 saved with the GW3 wildcard. The gift that keeps opn giving

        fpl statistics nailed it today

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years

          Lovren is only -84.6 there.

            FPL statistics nailed the two obvious risers today*

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

              Made up for Ulloa yesterday.

          2. Twelve years a slave
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Its only good for risers

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Ulloa was 88 yesterday. Much better than the other 2 though.

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

          Great for rises, drops are terrible. Fellaini at -54.5

        3. Diva
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Only the risers. Got them right two days ago too, but didn't get Ulloa yesterday.

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

            It's pretty good regardless.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Ivanovic and Di Maria will rise tomorrow night.

            2. Diva
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              I agree it's been the best of the bunch recently.

        4. rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I've noticed this week that they seem to be the site that is the closest on average. No idea what's going on with TPFL, their numbers seem to be all over the place.

          Nice move getting rid of Lovren already. His price drop has been coming since GW1 basically, I was just hoping he'd hold on until GW8 as I didn't feel like taking a hit already just to save 0.1.

          Btw, how is it possible that Caulker hasn't fallen yet, he's been one of the 10 most transferred-out players for weeks now

  28. tm245
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Evening. Have there been any players whose price rose two nights in a row? Am on Wild Card and want to maximize any double rises.

    1. Sadio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No player will rise two nights in a row all season. Thresholds are too high

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Only 1 rise left.

    3. Diva
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If you haven't already got ADM and Clyne in, you've probably missed the boat on any more double rises this week.

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Have them both. Waiting on Duff.

        1. Diva
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Unless there's a very big uptick in the transfer pattern, I don't think Duff will rise again this week.

    4. tm245
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers. Don't want to get too cute chasing profits if they won't happen. Bought Fabregas when I saw he might rise but can't imagine he will again tomorrow night as well.

  29. Koflok
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Sooo.. thoughts?
    Welbz Baines in my watchlist as Kun Naylor replacement

    Forster
    Duff Naylor Clyne
    Fab Sterling diMaria Siggy
    Costa Kun Pelle

    Chambers Boyd Moore

    1. rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is that a WC team? Looks pretty good.

      1. Koflok
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yes.. as expected of a WC team.

        I dont know why not having Ulloa bothers me so much

        1. rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Probably because he costs less than half as Aguero but has similar stats

    2. Horizontal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't do those moves this week.
      Kun and Naylor both have decent fixtures.

      1. Koflok
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Im on WC btw. Im just afraid of Kun's rotation in the next 3 or so weeks

      2. rickardinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        The way I see it, you want to pick a team that is set up for the medium-to-long term when you're on a WC to minimize the number of FT's you'll HAVE to make, so Baines makes perfect sense.

  30. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Need to use a FT. Who to get rid of? 0.8M ITB

    Begovic
    Clyne Pieters Janmaat
    Sigurdsson Fabregas Sterling Di Maria
    Adebayor Diego Costa Balotelli

    Subs: Gilks, Wisdom, Moore, Marney

    A) Pieters/Begovic
    B) Janmaat
    C) Adebayor

    1. SirBruno
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Pieters to Naylor

    2. rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You should play Wisdom this week instead of janmaat or Pieters.

      I wouldn't want a Newcastle defender but at least he has attacking returns sometimes. Probably better to get rid of Pieters as Muniesa looked good in midweek (scoring two crackers) and you don't want to be doubling up on this inconsistent stoke defense.

      Adebayor and Balotelli aren't the greatest picks either.

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I will be patient on Balotelli. Adebayor could play well against Arsenal as he hates them and their defence is in shambles.

        Not too big on Janmaat or Pieters. Don't want to double up on Stoke defence so I might do:

        Pieters>Duff to free up funds then bench Janmaat
