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.

            • 11 Years

            I agree

          Please start this gw, my rival got Rooney

      3. Chuckie

        Nice.

  2. AWESOME-O
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Play Chadli (SUN) or Ings (PAL)?

    Any input appreciated

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Chadli I'd say

      1. AWESOME-O
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        any reason why? 🙂

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'd really want both.

    3. Villan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Play Ings. Sunderland have 4 clean sheets out of the last five away from home (the one they didn't was City)

      1. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I'm (probably) not captaining Kane for this reason

      2. AWESOME-O
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        thanks. Got Ings in the line up at the moment for that reason, Sunderland love to park the bus away from home, plus I'll be playing Mannone. My only worry is what Spurs did against a supposedly defensive Chelsea at home. That and Chadli averages 6ppg.

    4. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Ings, I assume you got Kane already

      1. AWESOME-O
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        yup got Kane. A good logic as any I guess.

  3. Leeroy Jenkyns
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Get a Southampton Defender.

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Ok

    2. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No. two

    3. Leeroy Jenkyns
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe 3.

    4. Robben Mee Blind

    Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you @Alexis_Sanchez & @MesutOzil1088, and that's pretty f*cking close.

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I decided prior to last gameweek on Ings for the next 4, then Austin until the end of the season. So far, it's Ings 9 Austin 8. That's helpful...

      1. Chuckie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Now Ings 16 Austin 10.

      See above

      1. Chuckie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I vote for this.

  14. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Three into two won't go...With Duff fit again who misses out between Shackell Duff and Keane...or are we not really sure yet ?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      We're not sure yet, but I suspect Duff.

      I certainly don't think Burnley can afford to spend £3m on a reserve CB.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Oh yeah..good point actually. That would take a lot of explaining in the boardroom...

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Duff

    3. Demí
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      It's definitely Duff who misses out

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        So Keane at 4.4 is a good pick instead of Toby...for now...

    4. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      not sure if boomshack is fit ,if so he must play as club mascot (and decent player)
      keane as new purchase will play
      duff=duffer

    5. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Should I do Debuchy to Keane or save FT?

    6. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      duff is a cup player now

  15. mozza
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Contemplating playing my WC but would need to do it now has this team leaves me with 0.0 itb.

    thoughts on this lot?

    Foster (Myhill)
    Terry Fonte Wasilewski (Baird PVA)
    Sanchez Hazard Silva Chaldi (Boyd)
    Aguero Costa Kane

    1. Chuckie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Reckon it looks pretty good. Should get a good WC 'bounce' from it and some long-term bank as well.

    2. Shanan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Good team but try Di Maria for Silva

      1. Chuckie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Suspect he'll be 0.2 short for that, and no wriggle room on defence.

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

          exactly... would have to ditch costa if ADM becomes essential and Silva goes quiet

  16. 32chickens
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    carroll as differential captain against a depleted hull?-I feel it in my waters....
    comments please
    other alternatives-a rested harry and pulis enhanced hino

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely..He was a right old handful in midweek, despite not scoring.

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      no need to cap him... owning him is differential enough... good luck to you and me 😉

    3. chocolove
      • 15 Years

      very good captain punt

  17. Niemi
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Bench Sterling (avl) or Austin (MUN)?

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      too hard

    2. Chuckie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      This Liverpool fan says Sterling.

  18. Kshitiz Basnet
    • 12 Years

    The most cheap Burnley defender who is nailed on...
    Who would that be?

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      keane

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      in order
      shack ,if fit,club captain
      trippy,if fit,assist machine to be
      mee,
      keane,transfer purchase
      you look up the prices

      1. Kshitiz Basnet
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Will transfer in mee if he is nailed on...

        1. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          probably wisest
          they had a had cup match last night-i dont believe shackell played and trippier left early with a tight hammy but should play w/e

          1. Kshitiz Basnet
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            With Duff fit againt, who is likely to be dropped?
            Duff itself or other

  19. Don CR7
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Bench fabregas or austin?

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Austin.

    2. Syd.

      too hard

  20. Fabregasm
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    What would you do?
    a) Austin, Silva and Downing ( switching to either Tadic or AJ soon )
    b) Falcao, Mirallas and Puncheon
    c) Berahino, Silva and Sterling/Ramsey
    I'd appreciate you help!

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      obviously a

      1. Fabregasm
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Alright thanks, should I get Berahino instead of Austin though? His fixtures aren't good at all...

    2. Shanan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      A and keep Austin

  21. Ando

    Azpilicueta out for this weekend?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Nothing confirmed

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  22. flippetyflop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    How many minutes do we think Aguero will get this weekend? Guessing it mainly depends on how the games going?

    Tied betweem Aguero, Kane and Di Maria for captain

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      if start 60ish, if off the bench 30ish

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I don't think you'll see him play any more than 60 mins..either winning or not.

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      In fact I don't think you'll see him play many games over sixty mins this side of Easter.

    First year playing, and in the midst of my wc. I like my team, but I am now freaking out a bit based on the excellent Cup thread that Kol started below as I have 7 vulnerable players. It seems like I should be prudent a move a few Chelsea, Spurs players out, no? Maybe Austin, too? Or, is this something that is handled through prudent transfers in February?

      My gut says to downgrade Ivan to Clyne, and move Chadli to someone else unaffected by possible GW27 conflicts. I need some affirmation.

      You are agree or disagree, I promise to provide you with as much NYC restaurant tips as you may desire if you come across the pond one day on holiday.

    Chelsea at Swansea and City v Arsenal are tough games, right to consider benching players from either side in these games?

    Currently deliberating Oscar, Sigurdsson, Sanchez and Demichelis, and whether cheapie defenders and mids (with kinder fixtures) are worth playing?

    Mighty risky though

          Probs in a good way as it's very solid - on WC too and had same defence, but thinking of changing as I don't like Wisdom/PVA rotation the more I look at it, so maybe an upgrade in def would be the only tweak

      Similar to my team posted above, and looks good (otherwise, I'd have a lot of cognitive dissonance!). I see your proposal as splitting hairs. Leave as-is (unless tells me above we are both fecked due to Cup blank gw issues).

    On WC. Opinions please Aguero or Rooney for this gw only

    Think Rooney will be upfront

    if Rooney would you captain over Kane.

    Thanks
