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.

          1. Falcao

            I agree

          Please start this gw, my rival got Rooney

      3. Chuckie
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Nice.

  2. AWESOME-O
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Play Chadli (SUN) or Ings (PAL)?

    Any input appreciated

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Chadli I'd say

      1. AWESOME-O
        11 years, 9 months ago

        any reason why? 🙂

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I'd really want both.

    3. Villan
      11 years, 9 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, 9 months ago

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

      2. AWESOME-O
        11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Ings, I assume you got Kane already

      1. AWESOME-O
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

  3. Leeroy Jenkyns
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Get a Southampton Defender.

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Ok

    2. chocolove
      11 years, 9 months ago

      No. two

    3. Leeroy Jenkyns
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Maybe 3.

    4. Robben Mee Blind

      If you're so inclyned!

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

    4. Chuckie

      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
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Now Ings 16 Austin 10.

  13. asif316uk

    Austin or ings

    1. Sess!

      See above

      1. Chuckie
        11 years, 9 months ago

        I vote for this.

  14. Dr Dream
    11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 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
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

    2. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Duff

    3. Demí
      11 years, 9 months ago

      It's definitely Duff who misses out

      1. Dr Dream
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

    4. 32chickens
      11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Should I do Debuchy to Keane or save FT?

    6. chocolove
      11 years, 9 months ago

      duff is a cup player now

  15. mozza
    11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 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, 9 months ago

      Good team but try Di Maria for Silva

      1. Chuckie
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

        1. mozza
          11 years, 9 months ago

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

  16. 32chickens
    11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 months ago

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

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

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

    3. chocolove
      11 years, 9 months ago

      very good captain punt

      1. 32chickens
        11 years, 9 months ago

        thanks fellas-confidence felt

  17. Niemi
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Bench Sterling (avl) or Austin (MUN)?

    1. chocolove
      11 years, 9 months ago

      too hard

    2. Chuckie
      11 years, 9 months ago

      This Liverpool fan says Sterling.

  18. Kshitiz Basnet
    11 years, 9 months ago

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

    1. chocolove
      11 years, 9 months ago

      keane

    2. 32chickens
      11 years, 9 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
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

        1. 32chickens
          11 years, 9 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
            11 years, 9 months ago

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

  19. Don CR7
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Bench fabregas or austin?

    1. The Nuttmxn

      Austin.

    2. Syd.

      too hard

  20. Fabregasm
    11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 months ago

      obviously a

      1. Fabregasm
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

    2. Shanan
      11 years, 9 months ago

      A and keep Austin

  21. Ando
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Azpilicueta out for this weekend?

    1. Syd.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Nothing confirmed

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

  22. flippetyflop
    11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 months ago

      if start 60ish, if off the bench 30ish

    2. Dr Dream
      11 years, 9 months ago

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

    3. Dr Dream
      11 years, 9 months ago

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

  23. walkman666

    11 years, 9 months ago

    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.

  27. IndyStarJack
    11 years, 9 months ago

    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

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 9 months ago

          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).

  30. The Non Flying Dutchman
    11 years, 9 months ago

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

    Think Rooney will be upfront

    if Rooney would you captain over Kane.

    Thanks

    1. Caesar Salahd
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Aguero!

    2. Davido989
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Aguero every single time

    3. MadridistaRants
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Aguero
