The ScoutCast – Episode 143 – Yellow

3,015 Comments
Share

Far from a tribute to Chris Martin’s middle of the road act, this week’s ScoutCast reflects on the sea of yellow flags that have flooded our Fantasy Premier League squads over the past week. You’re nobody unless you’ve collected at least four by Saturday morning.

The uncertainty caused by phantom international break injuries dominates proceedings as Granville and I mark a return to the studio. Whilst I start praying for Georgie Boyd to step up, my co-host begins his campaign to hypnotise me into getting rid of Branislav Ivanovic before he starts putting further daylight between our teams. I’m refusing to gaze into Granville’s eyes.

Elsewhere this week, we catch “Cup Fever” and resurrect the ScoutCast team. Sign up and you could soon have the pleasure of knocking Granville and I out of our own cup competition. Providing we qualify of course – that’s far from a given.

“Look at the stars” via this link or “look at how the shine for you” via the handy player below…

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

                Comparing styles really. I was a fan of Berbatov, thought he got unfair stick. But Eriksen appears to be utterly useless and lazy on his bad days.

        as far as i know many people have more pressing injuries problems than selling saints assets. selling soton players certainly is not my priority and even if i have a FT with no injury doubt i would rather save it as we never know how many injuries we will get at the end of the week.

        downgrade baines or hazard..your team cannot support them imo..u need to upgrade wanyama and triple new def is no good.

        a more balanced team will benefit u more especially u have used your wildcard.

            baines is injuried..and have average fixtures after this..i would take a risk to get him out as your other areas need cash. U might want to try cresswell at 5.4? which save u around 1.7m.

            oscar is a good alternative to hazard..which save u another 1.6m.

            using the 3m extra u could get siggy instead of wanyama...and maybe N.taylor instead of S.taylor? he's on 4th yc but i can see u riding it out with yun and dummett on bench.

            costa kun sanchez are the players that will likely score a lot of points in the coming fixtures..build your team around them.

      Thanks, mate. I've Tadic too so waiting for the update on him today. If he's out I may do Tadic & Welbeck ➡ Siggy/Barkley & Costa for a hit. I know Costa may get YC this GW but it'll be same concern next GW so don't think we should read too much on it. He's a Striker so if he wishes he can easily avoid it until GW 16 by not doing stupid things. I'll see what I can do. I'll wait for the Tadic news. Cheers. 🙂

        would rather punt with Ayoze but in general agreed with all: better to do Welbz--> Austin straight away, NEW DEF without Colo cannot be trusted and Austin can easliy outscore Diouf/Ayoze/Kane or whoever

      One simple question to all you gorgeous and generous, kind hearted folks out there:
      Need to rid myself of Williamson since due to circumstances beyond my comprehension I now have three Toon defenders.
      So for one week only, I need a cheaper replacement who stands a reasonable chance of a clean sheet.
      Would you go with Duff or someone else?
      Nobody's grabbing me right now (Not in a literal sense, anyway).

              I've had Williamson for a while, even when he scored his first goal for about a billion years.
              Dummet and Krul came in because I was sick of Begovic's poor scores and needed Dummet to afford Sanchez.
              I realise thanks to the replies below that he probably will play due to Colo and Saylor being out, but in my position would you want to triple up on Toon's defence against the mighty Austin?

            I'd rather a sideways/crablike/horizontal/lateral/ move than rely on triple Toon defence.
