The ScoutCast – Episode 139 – Essential

Don’t get us wrong – we’re not labelling this latest droning session as “essential” listening. However, there’s no getting away from the fact that the concept of essential players has dominated the airwaves at Scout towers over the past week.

In this latest episode, Granville and I take on this meaty subject, whilst chewing over the importance of ownership and spit out the semblance of an opinion on both. Around that main course, we take on the usual bevvy of regulars with the usual haphazard panache.

Essential? Not quite, not even on a rainy Thursday night.

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

    Ramsey + Ulloa > Obertan + Aguero confirmed

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Probably close to 20 million transfers so far this season, plus more than 100 million last season.
      Not once was Ramsey to obertan even considered,

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Don't even know what that means.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years

      Wildcard Active 😉

    Any more news about Lloris? If he is out I will captain Aguero for sure but doubt we get more news before dead line.

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

      You should captain him regardless. 🙂

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years

        😀

    With Mirallas out & Everton's fixtures, Ross Barkley will be a steal at £6.7mil...

    1. The Finnisher
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nah.

      1. The Finnisher
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Actually maybe. Had a look and his FPL form last season seems underrated looking at the numbers..

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

          Exactly... exactly.
          If he can put it together & turn those stats into points then it's a great run of games.

        2. Podge
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          He had huge ownership preseason, casuals favourite he is.

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      But when will he be back to play 90 minutes?

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

        Late fit test this week so, I'd expect he'd start the week following, maybe two?
        Everton have one of the softer runs up to Xmas now.

        1. Lord Flashheart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Agreed

  4. xSJG
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I'm not sure if I should get Aguero before this matchweek or not. I heard rumours that he might rise as well... but I'm rather happy with my team for this week (playing 3-5-2)

    Forster (Heaton)
    Baines Clyne Duff (Wisdom, Chambers)
    ADM Fabregas Downing Sterling Siggy
    Costa Pelle (Ulloa)

    2FT 2.4 ITB

    Should I do Ulloa + Fabregas --> Aguero + Boyd? A little hesitant in getting rid of Fab.

    1. Los Pollos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Def No

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

      Dont think so either mate

  5. The Finnisher
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Tossing up the Pochettino effect vs the Kaboul effect. Hmm.

    Spurs saying the 11-1 score last season isn't a worry but they said that regarding how they lost 9-0 on aggregate to Liverpool last season as well and it continued on this season.

    Aguero (c) then?

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      im leaning this way, mate

      1. The Finnisher
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Made your A-League changes?

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          yeah man, saving ft, Villa(c) 😀

          yourself?

          1. The Finnisher
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Same here, probs need 2 next week with Roux and Kim out.

            Villa (c) here too. Should manage at least 6 goals against Newcastle.

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              😆 😆 😆

              i'll be shipping kim next week due to the blank,i avoided wsw players (except hamill) because they have consecutive blanks

              1. The Finnisher
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                yep, had Gallagher and McGlinchey lined up and they both bloody rose in price. 🙄

                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  Lived in Brisbane for three years (Canadian) how are the Lions doing?

                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    Terribly. Have been for most of the last decade since their heyday.

                    1. OShaughnessy

                      • 11 Years
                      9 years, 8 months ago

                      They won it all last year didn't they?

                      1. Billy Gilmore
                        • 12 Years
                        9 years, 8 months ago

                        You mean the Roar? Yeah, they did. Thought you were talking about the AFL team (the Lions)

                      2. OShaughnessy

                        9 years, 8 months ago

                        My mistake. Got the names mixed up...
                        How are the Roar doing?

                      3. Billy Gilmore
                        • 12 Years
                        9 years, 8 months ago

                        Won it 3 out of the last 4 years, so pretty good 😉

                        9 years, 8 months ago

                        Nice. I left in '10 so they'd stated to turn it around by then.

                        Actually saw Robbie Fowler when he came to town.

                        Almost more Liverpool red in the stands than Roar Orange...

      1. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Probably more expensive than )

    2. Wishdom Teeth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      PVA + Silva ----> 6.5 mid + Ivanovic ? (already had baines and 2 FT)

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

          Didnt know you were doubling up... Not sure I would do that tbh..

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            lol

            It worked a treat in GW 5.

            Don't worry, I have balls.

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

              Think swa and bur have the same chance of conceding, if so I would spread the risk.
              Bur at home tho which made me pick duff in the first place

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      hi christina lol

      duffy boi

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, Burnley def stats(h) much better then Swans def(a).

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          yeah swans have been lucky not to concede more goals.

          any trannies this week?

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            2 FT's to burn.

            Dunno what to do. I guess just playing it safe and doing the boring Welbeck in trade.

            Really not inspiring. I'm not a fan of him.

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              beharino?

                • 14 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                I haven't considered him.

                I prefer Cisse this week.

            2. andres
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Who are you selling for welb?

              1. Christina.
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Prob Ulloa. Just a "stop gap" trade, as I want Walcott.

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

                        ADM is all you need from ManU.

                        Do the first one I think.

          • 12 Years

          You Wally 😉

  11. Les Bleus
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I currently have Moreno(qpr) Duff(WHU) Clyne(SUN) as a back three.

    Would you transfer in Baines knowing that you'd have to bench one of Moreno or Duff?

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      probably not

    2. Los Pollos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      im in the same dilemma moreno to baines... unsure ..

      1. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Same here. Hmm...

  12. Los Pollos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Begovic (McCarthy)
    Ivanovic Clyne Moreno (Wisdom) (Duff)
    Di María Fábregas Sterling Sigurdsson (Zaha)
    Costa Ulloa Pellè

    What would you do with this team?

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

      Maybe ulloa and sesc out for welbeck and eriksen/tadic...also you need ti get rid of zaha for boyd or albrighton

  13. Microeconomics
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who to play:

    Eriksen (mci) or Downing (bur)

    Naylor (stk) or Duff (WHU)

    Is playing both Downing and Duff silly as they verse each other? thanks for your help

    1. Los Pollos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Downing (form)

      1. Microeconomics
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Then should I play Duff or Naylor? I'm conflicted to play Duff if I play Downing

        1. Los Pollos
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          always try to be maximising your teams potential

          1. Microeconomics
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah, that's why I had Duff benched initially. It's just gonna hurt if Burnley keep a clean sheet

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

      Downing and Naylor for me.

      Burnley have to start getting points somewhere and their previously renowned defensive strength will most likely dissipate into multiple goals conceded each week, as was signalled by their last result. Meanwhile, WHU have looked strong going forward and Downing has been in good form.

      1. Microeconomics
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        That's what I had originally had. I didn't see Burnley keeping out WHU

        Alright, thanks, I'm just gonna leave it!

    3. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm playing Taylor, and Duff on the bench. West Ham look to have more goals in them than Stoke

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

    Afternoon lads! Dutifully waited on using my FT through the international break and all appears to be in order.

    Krul
    Terry Bertrand Naylor
    ADM Sterling Fab Siggy
    Costa Welbeck Pelle

    Bench: Elliot - Chester, Marney, Wisdom

    1 FT, 3.3 itb.

    Chester to Baines has been the plan all week, and now that he appears to have escaped the international break unscathed, now seems to be as reasonable as any time to make the move. Any problems with that lads, or do I hit confirm and g2g?

    1. Microeconomics
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Baines all the way. If he's fit and playing, you're good to go!

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

        Cheers, first-time Baines owner 😀

        1. Microeconomics
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Haha, I hope for your sake nothing bad happens to Baines!

          1. Geordienufc1
            • 10 Years

    I am on WC and don't know what to do with Chadli (doubtful, and play City):

    Guzan
    Azpi Baines Bertrand
    Chadli Hazard ADM Siggy
    Costa Aguero Naismith

    Bench: Foster Hutton Moore Boyd

    Shoud I bring Ox in for 1 game and change him to Chadli next GW?

    What would you do?

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

    When Walcott comes back (which is a week or two away), is Ox gonna back to the bench?

    ----------Welbeck----------
    Sanchez-Cazorla-Wally
    ----Ramsey-Wilshere----

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

      It seems likely. I'm not an arsenal fan though, so I can only speculate, based on the calibre of the players you have listed.

    2. andres
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Or santi

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

        Surely Santi is higher in the pecking order vs Ox?

        Ox as 1 week punt is interesting tho.

        1. Microeconomics
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          You'd think Sanchez would be high on the pecking order too but that hasn't stopped him from being benched 😉

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

            True true..

        2. Billy Gilmore
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Could easily be both Ox and Santi benched, with them playing that 4-1-4-1 like they did at the start of the season. A week or two is very optimistic regarding Wally too.

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

            Interesting..

            I think I'll go have fun with Ox this week. Worst case if he doesn't play I'll swap him for free to Chadli next week.

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

    Currently viewing Costa as my third best option for captaincy this week.

    1. Di maria
    2. Welbeck
    3. Costa

    Costa has looked poor in his last few games, think he will continue in this vein as that's how form works.

    1. ChampionoftheWorld
      • 9 Years

      Excuse me, he has been scoring?

  18. Tony Hibbert's Shootin…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anybody round these parts been doing any analysis on keeper options recently?

    I've been stuck with DDG since the start of the season and I'm keen to ship him following this GW. So far Guzan seems the best option considering price and fixtures, but I'm not completely sold on him.

    Any other useful options around, or is there a rotating pair I should be considering up to the January WC?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      Hart?

      1. Tony Hibbert's Shootin…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Not a bad shout, but I really don't have the funds to do the upgrade. I'm also keen to avoid investing too much in a keeper as they don't really provide too much value.

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Aah, thought DDG was around 6m.

          I only have Heaton(burn). They play 6/9 at home with 2 of the other 3 being qpr/stoke.

          Might be an option.

          1. Tony Hibbert's Shootin…
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Ah, I didn't really notice how many home games he had leading into Jan. Definitely rising in my estimations now. Cheers.

      2. Tony Hibbert's Shootin…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Foster is another of the main options I've been considering. It does annoy me that there's cheaper options in defence for both Villa and WBA though.

  19. Holmes

    I guess, my captain will score 1st goal of the season for me 🙁 😐 🙂

    1. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Your captains haven't scored for you yet? 😯

      Who're you captaining this week?

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Hibbert probably...

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

        Aguero 😐

        1. pundit of punts
          • 11 Years

          Think you'll get lucky this week. Good luck. 🙂

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

            Hopefully, thanks! 🙂 My captains have scored 32pts(out of 352pts) till date with Adebayor 5pointer being highest 😡

        2. And we all have legs
          • 9 Years

          Nooooooo. Don't do it!

  20. The Blackadder
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Next 3 gameweeks, what points do you think these pairings will muster?

    Baines + Sakho
    Vs
    Rafael + Pelle?

    1. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't get a United defender just yet

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You'd have to say A will do better on paper.

      Baines and Pelle should be similar but Sakho beats Rafael

    3. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      First two to score more

    4. OzilFozzil
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

  21. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Looking at Everton 's fixtures and the fact they must surely improve defensively, is doubling Baines and Coleman too insane? They're Evertons main attacking threats it seems

    1. The Blackadder
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, one of those two is plenty I'd say, just gotta pick the right one!

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

      Lol

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Half joking, but then thinking of 433 with them in... Why do I do this to myself?!!?

    3. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If you double, then Baines and Howard of jags

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Double would be for the attacking threat though. So Coleman or Howard 😉

    4. Tony Hibbert's Shootin…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd look to get Baines in, but Coleman's worth monitoring. Overall getting both of them sounds a bit too insane a plan 😛

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

        Not insane at all. Great fixtures and great attacking stats. Easy to transfer out if goes wrong too

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

    Falcao (C)

    😎

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It's spelt "Aguero"

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

        There wouldn't be spelling error if I had him

        1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

    How many CS do you guys think West Ham will keep in next 5? (bur, MCI, sto, AVL, eve)

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

      1

      1. Venom Snake
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This is what I thought, so why are so many convinced that their good run is starting?

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Attacking wise its not so bad, but not that great either. Id rather have Milner than Downing

    2. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not enough.

      1. Venom Snake
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Think I'm just gonna settle for Jags. Evertons run is just too good

  25. Respect My Authoritah

    What time is the Liverpool press conference?

  26. adnangri
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    RMT

    In bank : 0.8m
    Bego (Myhill)
    Ivanovic, Duff, Van Bertrand, (Lovren, Distin )
    Fab, Siggy, ADM, Sterling ( Mirallas )
    Costa, Ulloa, Naismith

    Both Lovren and Mirallas is out for this GW at least.

    Should I do both out for Baines and one more mid, who would I play.?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mirallas is out, Lovren maybe not

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

      Is Distin out? I'd play him over Duff.

        Sturridge I suppose, if fit and you win him.

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Not at all.

        Do you then ?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years

          They have a few defensive players out. I fancy it.

          1. Evs
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Who's out?

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              No one.

              Walker hasn't played this season and Nauhgton only has 149min under his belt.

              Lloris/Chadli "doubts"...

              1. Ryan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                The key is Lloris. If he's out then I'm not sure their defensive organisation will be the same.

                1. Christina.
                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  We might get some news today.

                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    It will all but confirm Aguero (c) for me if he is confirmed out.

                    1. Evs
                      • Has Moderation Rights
                      • 14 Years

                      Interesting that.

                      I wouldn't have thought that many would veer away from Diego v Palace

        I've got Hazard (C) and you've scared the pants off me now. Do you mean you would or wouldn't?!?!?

        1. Venom Snake

    Sorry to repost:

    I am on WC and don't know what to do with Chadli (doubtful, and play City):

    Guzan
    Azpi Baines Bertrand
    Chadli Hazard ADM Siggy
    Costa Aguero Naismith

    Bench: Foster Hutton Moore Boyd

    Shoud I bring Ox in for 1 game and change him to Chadli next GW?

    What would you do?

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Get Sterling v QPR
