With gremlins in the machine, the clock was ticking on this week’s ScoutCast as Granville and I are hurried into service.

Displaying all the urgency and determination of Ade Akinfenwa at the end of season buffet, we waste no time in driving through the ScoutCast regulars, whilst weighing the merits of when to swoop for a certain “essential” Argentine.

While this week’s low fat episode may come as a treat for some, we’re working towards a return to the full fat, high cholesterol live Hangout from next week. Keep ‘em peeled for news on that.

For now, grab this rapid recording via this link or stream the swiftness via the player below…

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

    Just for this week:

    A)Azpi > FLuis/DRose (else I'll have to play Zaba)
    B)Silva > ADM/Zaha

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Play zaba?

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        But his last returns are 0,0,0,2

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          He must be due 😉

          Nah if you have him I'd definitely play

  3. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    On WC.

    A. Siggy (already own, bought at 6.0)
    B. Puncheon

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        What's your reasoning behind this?

        1. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Well, I've been watching some palace games recently, and I just think that some of his skills are ridiculous and with the amount of times he runs into the box from the wing, he's bound to get some points, but if your worried then puncheon

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Puncheon

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Punch punch punch a ball
      Punchings really fun

    4. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A

    5. danishdynamite
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd stick with Siggy. his next two suck but after that he has a decent run, and I'd be surprised if they did not sign someone else upfront

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Funny feeling Gomis after 2 weeks.

        1. danishdynamite
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Leap of faith, but the fixtures are there

    6. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I jus shipped soggy this morning on my WC. There's no getting him back for me!

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Who did you replace him with

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          On Chadli ATM but tempted by punch

          1. Oz lotto
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            I need make up 30 on my ML leader and he has eriksen and sig assuming he doesn't WC so punch would be a massive diffo

            1. Venom Snake
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              I'm very tempted by punch with those fixtures but haven't watched him play enough to make my mind up

    7. chronuso
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      if you have siggy at 6.0, keep him.. even when he drops maybe once this gw, he'll still be better value than most at that price.

      henderson
      johnson
      walters
      ward-prowse
      puncheon if defoe is firing

      are all decent options that can be brought in if needed change

    8. Clump
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Who can you replace Siggy with for 6? Keep.

    9. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy. On set pieces, Gomis should grow into the role, stats on the up, i personally feel he's more reliable than other players in his price bracket.

    10. The Kolarov Mane ⚔
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Punch or Moses (*ssshhhh)

  4. rogsmith
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Just been advised to sell siggy for Chadli.I had siggy at 6.4,would people still advise to do that. I dont understand how the values work as they go up in price but you dont get that price when you sell. cheers.

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It's all in the rules. Basically you keep half of any profit.

      1. rogsmith
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        ok thanks mate.

    2. chronuso
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      if you had him at 6.4, you will now be able to sell for 6.6, as he has rose to 6.8 and you rise 0.1 for every 0.2

      he will go down in price soon, so def worth changing to chadi, who for me is a must

      1. rogsmith
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Top stuff cheers mate.

  5. President John F. Keninnsie
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Fonte is a baps machine. Can't wait to own the big fella.

    1. mozza
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Only if they don't score 🙂

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Bonus points in EVERY match they've kept a clean sheet in this season apart from 2 high scoring wins suggests otherwise 🙂

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Great stat. I've got a good stat on captaincy which I'll share in a bit

        2. mozza
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Hmmm.... Good job I have him then 🙂

    2. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted double on him and berty

    3. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      true that. 0g 0a and still almost double the bnus than betrand with 2g 2a

  6. King Huth

    a. toure --> shawcross/jones/rose/moreno?
    b. austin --> kane

    am in top 400 now... and leadin mini league... want to hold on to WC as soon as possible... any idea? or should i take -4 and bring in aguero to not risk if he explode??

    TIA

    1. danishdynamite
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Can you afford Fikipe Luis until you WC?

      1. King Huth
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        is he guaruntee to start? zouma?

        1. danishdynamite
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          He'll certainly start this week, and I'm pretty sure Zouma won't

          1. King Huth
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            very good idea actually... but am planning for a 2 wk def... mancity isn't the best...

            but definitely try consider as this week punt..

            thanks!

    2. danishdynamite
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      FWIW I'd have WC'd that lot this week

  7. danishdynamite
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Am on WC and had planned to use Clichy for one last week before switching to Chambers , but am thinking another defender could get better returns this week.

    Max budget 5.8

    Cresswell seems the obvious choice - or does anyone else appeal ?

    (Back 5: JT / Bertrand / Wasilewski / Baird)

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Cresswell or maybe a punt on Spurs defender?

      1. danishdynamite
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thx

    2. Ranaperro
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Skrtel?

      1. danishdynamite
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Not bad, was wondering about him or the Moreno fella, but I just don't trust liverpool away from home, even at Villa

    3. King Huth
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      shawcross as 2 wk punt... maybe jones/evan

  8. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you captain out of kane,downing,silva,kun and hazard?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard

    2. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I am leaning towards a punt on Silva. Many will go with Kun but I'd be ok with just having him. Silva will get more minutes.

    3. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Haz or kun

    4. danishdynamite
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Kun

    5. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Tough. Kane if playing safe. Kun/Silva if after a punt to gain serious ground.

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Sunderland will make it very hard. They will defend with 10 players.

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          It's just based off what most will do... IF he does score well and you don't captain him then you will slide down a big dark hole.

      2. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Gone for Kane. Chadli vice.

    6. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      How many minutes are we expecting Kun to get?

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        60-70 i think.

      2. Caine & Co.
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        90

  9. Oz lotto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    So part of my decision to activate my WC was to ship naylor, siggy and downing and to get a budget defender, Boyd and some mid priced mid to avoid rotation nightmares and have some left ITB to play with...

    Now I'm onsidering Chadli and puncheon and wollscheid or PVA hence making more rotation nightmares and more decisions to make on goal scoring mids.
    This is to go with haz Sanchez and fab! Any advice much appreciated

  10. hagop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Any thoughts?

    Krul (Hammer)
    Baines - Terry - Koscielny (Baird, Wasyl)
    Hazard - Sanchez - ADM - Silva (lord Boyd)
    Kane-Austin-Aguero

    I'm not sure about single goalkeeper and Baird. I could change Baines to Fonte/Bertrand and then upgrade second keeper and Baird.

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      BAines out for Soton defender. Kos injury prone. Otherwise good. Prepare to be patient with Silva.

  11. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Used wc and got rid of Baines Fab Downing Rooney Austin for Terry ADM Chadli Aguero Kane

    Feeling nervous This could be a season deciding change for good or worse 🙂

    1. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I did almost the same changes. Scary stuff.

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Would have only sold Fabs out of that list. Best of luck Huurikane.

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Sold fab? He's so consistent !

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          But not explosive. Prefer Haz as my Che attacker and others like Chadli, Downing, ADM, Silva.

          1. Oz lotto
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Fair enough. Personal preference really

            1. ILOVEBAPS
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              🙂 Exactamundo

    3. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      The only one I wouldn't have done was fab out but assuming you needed the funds it's probably all for the best

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        😆

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          He's on 7 YC that's the only reason I would sell!

        2. ILOVEBAPS
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          This laughter was directed at our different opinions not at you ok? 🙂

          1. Oz lotto
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Haha got that mate all good

  12. mipola
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Play Hamer or Panti this week?

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Panti. Spurs can screw up at home.

    2. A.T
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hamer

  13. Mahesh_Kumar
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is Lucas still nailed on at Liverpool even when Joe Allen is back next week?

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He's not a fantasy option for me. And no he's not nailed anyway

      1. Mahesh_Kumar
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        So very cheap tho for bench fodder. And has played almost every game since GW 13 .

  14. athreya
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    On WC.

    Panti/foster
    Terry/Bert/Wisdom/x/x
    Haz/Alexis/Adm/x/Puncheon
    Kun/Kane/Ings

    Thinking Cameron, Duff and Sterling for the three spots.

    Any obvious flaws? Suggested improvements? Thanks.

    1. danishdynamite
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Duff > Baird.

      Neither are exactly nailed on, but I'd rather go with the Pulis potential for CS

      How much dosh do you have after Cameron and baird?

  15. smithmarv
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    chadli or downing?

    1. danishdynamite
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Chadli after this GW

    2. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      could go either way. chadli has slightly better fixtures imo. but downing has been awesome

  16. Judas
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Baines or Terry for a one week free punt?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Baines. Haven't you done this move already? 😉

    2. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      baines!

      1. asif316uk
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        1. Caine & Co.
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          for wildcard i would go for ivanovic but one week punt baines

    3. A.T
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Terry

  17. jogabonito191
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Guzan (Schmelcel)
    Ivanovic Zabaleta Trippier (Wisdom PVA)
    Hazard Eriksen Sigurdsson Downing Sanchez
    Kane Costa (Austin)

    Got 2 FT and 2.8, is Eriksen->ADM and Costa->Kun the right moves? Kinda want to wait with Eriksen considering their decent fixture...thoughts?

  18. dush64
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know where to find detailed stats / history of a player that can be filtered by opposition?

    eg. I want to know what Aguero's goalscoring record versus Arsenal is, and see his breakdown for each game.

    1. Shifty

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sterling

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Not a bad shout. Fresh after a break

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Just as a 1 weeker. Wouldn't be wild carding him in

      We have got two weeks, you know?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Needs a Chelski defender. Needs Sánchez.

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Sanchez of course if wallcot is not ready.
        Chelski defender? Fear of rotation, schedule too busy, don't know.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          I will have Ivanovic.

      Not a fan

  26. asif316uk

    Double up on chelsea defence..

    Ivan + Terry

    or Baines for Ivan

    1. The Blind Badger
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Double

    2. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Why the need to ditch Ivan when he's just got you 11 points?

    I am interested to see how low Hazard is ranking on the captain poll and popular opinion... He has only drawn blank 9 times this season, and interestingly one two of these have come in succession -

    Of note, after each of his other 7 blanks he has gone: 9,7,11,10,11,9,14

    I know this doesn't take into account home and away fixtures but I, still massively impressed by those numbers and all it really does is confirm one thing - you can't hold the man down for long

    1. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Exactly why he is my captain this week

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not to mention Swansea can't defend. I'm actually thinking Costa though

      1. Mahesh_Kumar
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        lol . Swansea have one of the best defenses at Home

    3. The Blind Badger
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He always gets himself into dangerous positions and can beat a man with the ball. Hard to stop, but just because he dosen't blank twice in a row is a star dependent on so many variables.

  28. Munchen KFC
    • 12 Years

    A] Di Maria and Chester or
    B] Oscar and Clyne.

    1. La Roja

    Sanchez Hazard ADM Siggy Boyd
    Aguero Costa Kane - 0ITB

    Question is: Would you do this:

    Costa>Austin
    Boyd> Chadli
    6.3m remaining to upgrade defence somewhat
