This week’s ScoutCast is a throwback – a return to the days when Granville moaned about his team of red flags and names like Robin van Persie and Yaya Toure dominated our thinking.

Granville and I slip into such subject matter like it’s a pair of old slippers, whilst assessing the Aguero fall-out, the Dzeko option, Ivanovic versus “Dave” Azpi and how I’ve modelled my Fantasy Football management style on Roy Hodgson.

We roll out the regulars and lament the demise of the ScoutCast team – eliminated in the opening round of our own cup competition. Some things never change.

Swim in nostalgia via this link or roll back the years via the player below…

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

    okay guys I need help, last week was a major blow for me, fabianski and austin got red and Kun is injured!!

    Fabianski*/jaku
    Clyne Azpi Wisdom Baines / Moore
    Fab Siggy Oscar Eriksen Boyd
    Pelle Kun* / Austin

    1 FT 0.1 itb, I obviously need to take a hit. What are the suggestion lads? Fabi and Kun gotta be replaced

    Cheers

    1. Fplnooob
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Kun > Dzeko, Fab > Hart/Panti

      1. Ne0
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        This, with Hart imo

    2. kiwi_pool
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Fab > Haz
      Kun > Dzeko

      or

      Fab > Yaya
      Kun > Diego.

      Take your pick.

      1. kiwi_pool
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        My bad you mean Fabianski, not Fabregas.

        1. SirBruno
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          That's why I wrote 'Fabi" hahaa and can't do Diego, already have three chelsea players

  2. Luffytaro
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    I like how Mark and Granville end their Scoutcast, "blablabla, goodnight, night". *music plays.

    1. nedfoo
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      what's the alternative

      1. Luffytaro
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        I expect something like "alright, this is all for this week's Scoutcast, see you again next week" kind of thing, but what they did, i just find it funny, and I enjoy it a lot. haha

  3. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Till when do we expect Bartley to be nailed on?

  4. Nickofoz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Did anyone else expect this weeks scout cast to be a bit longer?

    It was actually shorter than usual, and since the last one was 3 game weeks ago I expected a little more discussion about them.

    It was still a good one though 🙂

  5. King Huth
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Will ramsey play???

    Wtf wenger changin his word???

    1. Goodnight Kiwi
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      To be assessed. I think he will play from what I have heard but maybe don't bring him in if that's what you're thinking...

  6. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Hey fourth time asking Is Bartley nailed on?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Until Fernandez comes back I believe.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Till Fernandez is injured 🙂

    3. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Just look at Swansea team. Fernandez is out till December 13th. Bartley will be nailed on till then.

  7. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    start

    A. O'Shea vs WHU (H)
    (or)
    B. Taylor vs TOT (H)

    Thanks!

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Taylor, good record at home 🙂

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Hutton or naylor ??

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          Still Taylor, both are good picks though 😉

    1. Jebus Saves
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      I'm enjoying the murderation skills.

  9. Joga Bonito®
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Morning folks.

    What have you all been doing with Aguero?

    Still doing my head in.

    Also whether to make a keeper transfer with Fab only out for one game?

    Dzeko, Carroll, Bony, Lukaku, Rooney, Costa... The list goes on.

    1. Retrosynth
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Bottom line? Go with your gut and make a massive punt. That's what I'm doing...:)

    2. Ne0
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      This has been the second biggest topic of discussion all week. Everyone's done something different.

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Costa
      And yes, do a GK transfer if you dont have a playing one

    4. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      done to costa this morning before aguero's price dropped..keep fab

  10. DF
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Play Taylor or Kane?

    1. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      kane

  11. keotes
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Baines or Zabaleta?

    1. Ne0
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Baines.

    2. Retrosynth
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Good question. Both if you can! If not I'd say Zab at the moment.

    3. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      baines..zaba next week

    4. Jebus Saves
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Baines

  12. davies

    The story got removed !!!

    1. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Ludicrous!

  13. TyrannosavrvsPvlis
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    I currently own Costa and Austin and want to get Bony for Agüero but can you recommend me other good options? I'm not totally sure about this move! Thanks!

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Bony Benteke Dzeko. Flip a coin at this point mate. Hard to choose between them

    2. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      I'd narrow it down to Bony & Dzeko imo
      Bony based on form alone
      Dzeko if you like your whiskey rye

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Do it

      1. TyrannosavrvsPvlis
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Nice, thanks!

  14. Zasa

    We may just go a full page without a RMT, this is history in the making folks.

    "Please leave the personal attacks out of comments".

  18. davies

    What's with all these FPL questions?

    Wrong time/place.

    1. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      more so wrong place. Totally misguided to want to post sensible questions here on this site

  19. rickardinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    You know what, I'm actually starting to like Triggerlips, in a weird Stockholm-syndromy/if you can't beat 'em join 'em kind of way 😀

    1. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Get a room you two 😉

      1. davies
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Get a bar*

    2. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      We can beat him, though. Just copy his team, I say.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Someone throw him a stick

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          He's still got that leash on, though.

        2. rickardinho
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          Nice job repeating that joke over and over again in the hope that it'll stick TL, you should become a lobbyist or professional for-hire comedian/jester

      2. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Haha, *transfers in Dzeko and Pantilimon* 😀

        1. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          Hey gettin gin Dzeko is just copying me! 😡

          1. Twelve years a slave
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 7 days ago

            Did you get pant in the end?

            I bought him in for a hit, was a bit previous as only on 76% to rise but didnt want to risk a surprise early rise

          2. rickardinho
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 7 days ago

            Don't worry, I got Costa already instead so I can enjoy watching Drogba's hatrick against Hull.

    Risers fallers?

  21. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Shopping for an Aguero replacement.... Dzeko, Jovetic, Sakho, Lukaku? (have Rooney & Austin)

    1. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Dzeko

      1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Hmmm

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      dd Bony to that list too! Think you need Costa

      1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Oh yeahhhh, not sure I'd want to double up with Siggy though

  22. burnt
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    I have gone Aguero to Lukaku leaving me with 4.5. I have no goalie atm but also have Smalling and Chambers to deal with first.
    Clichy or Zabaleta for Smalling?

    There seems to be not a lot of love for Chambers. Surely he will be able to play next round? I think i need to trade Smalling first.

    I will see how Yaya, Nasri, Ramsey and Silva go this week to see which mid I upgrade ( Siggy and Waynama).

    Any comments or insights?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Chambers place under threat from Debucy?

      1. burnt
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        That is speculation right?

  23. Catilo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    A. -4 hit & field 10 players

    B. -8 hit & bring Vergini in

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      -8 to bring in Vergini? Are we still making jokes here?

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years

    2. Zasa

      -8 is a virgin move

      1. Moeda
        • 11 Years

    2. rickardinho

      Haha, nice one. But what's the Januzaj connection? 😛

    3. Nickofoz

      Banta

  26. Compulsive Transfer Policy
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Foster
    Baines, Terry, Clyne
    Sigurdsson, Downing, Hazard (VC), Sánchez, Eriksen
    Benteke, Diego Costa (C)

    Krul, Bertrand, Taylor, Austin

    What do you think?
    Play Bertrand instead of Downing or Benteke?

    1. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      good to go

  27. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    heaton
    baines, wisdom, hutton
    hazard, sanchez, siggy, downing, boyd
    benteke, costa

    subs: schemeical, austin, dummet, mcnair

    0 FT..good to go? or take -4 to do austin -> bony, and bench boyd?

    1. Compulsive Transfer Policy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Leave Austin on bench play Boyd no tranfser.

  28. athreya
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Kos, Monreal, Chambers all out for Arsenal!

    Transfers in Cisse. Perez.

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Plus Krul, Elliot and maybe Coloccini out for Newcaste.

      Goals ahead

    2. Compulsive Transfer Policy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Both have a risk of not playing 90 minutes.

  29. athreya
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Alexis, Haz, Oscar, Siggy, Jedinak
    Aguero, Benteke, Austin.
    2.4 itb.

    Best Aguero options? And who to replace to get in Yaya?
    I am thinking Aguero -> Bony and Siggy-> Yaya.
    Or should I roll the dice and do Aguero -> RVP and Alexis -> Yaya?

    1. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      I did Aguero>Bony and siggy> Yaya, but with the luck I've been having lately you might want to avoid doing the same as me 🙂

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Aguero to Costa this week
      Next week
      Oscar to Yaya

      Does that work cash wise?

  30. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Davies,are you the forum Leicester expert?

    Is Moore back in favour?

    1. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Well, Morgan will be back from suspension, this week. Leaving only one of two positions for Moore and Wasilewski.

      It'll be interesting to see who keeps their spot, but, I think it'll be Moore.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Hope so, although if he makes my starting 11 something has gone badly wrong

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          I brought in Hutton for him, last week.

      2. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        What makes you say this, Davies? Moore finally gets a game due to Morgan's suspension and he promptly is directly responsible for that Clark goal off the set piece by yelling at his line and not marking him.

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          Wasilewski was at fault for the second goal, also. So it really is a coin-toss.

          1. Walsh
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 7 days ago

            Right then.
