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.

    How am I looking for this game week?

    De Gea
    Clyne / Baines / Bertrand
    Fabregas / Sanchez / Hazard (VC) / Downing
    Costa / Kane (C) / Austin

    (McCarthy, Boyd / Hutton / Duff)

    Going to wild card next week.

    1. MMN
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Good, no hits?

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

        Not this week, swapped out Taylor for Clyne.

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

    Pick any striker other than Aguero as a 1-2 GW punt before WC.

    Who would you rather out of Rooney and Falcao?

    1. LOCO ABREU
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      rooney

      1. boogle
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeh - you think he could drop though? Need all the funds I can get! Benteke dropping so need to act..

        1. LOCO ABREU
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          rooney seems close to drop yep 🙁

          1. boogle
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Bugger - will Falcao def start you think? Could be huge differemtial

            1. LOCO ABREU
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              don't think falcao will start, maybe lukaku?

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

      Bojan 🙂

      and Rooney

      1. boogle
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I was looking at crouch actually.. So hard to pick one

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

          its tough alright, reckon bojan will probably do more though. might supply crouch even if he doesnt finish himself

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

    I see Torres scored twice against Real...

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Best striker in world football

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

        😀

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Diego Forlan springs to mind...

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

    Please RMWCT (to be played after this GW):

    Pants Foster
    Terry Clyne Fonte Wisdom Wasilewski
    Sanchez Hazard ADM Siggy Puncheon
    Aguero Austin Kane

    Will play Chelsea and double saints most weeks, but the cheapies sub in nicely for one or both of Clyne/Fonte for their hard fixtures.

    Siggy and Puncheon rotate well home /away too.

    Thoughts?

    1. MMN
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Very nice

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Personally. Siggy has to go... I don't think he'll score well now that Bony is no more

  5. proczell
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    This WC thing is so hard.

    A) Forster-Bert-PVA
    B) Panti-Gardos-Cahill

    Have Hamer-Duff-Cameron-Wisdome as rest of DEF

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

      A

    2. Cousin Greg
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A by miles.

    3. proczell
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks, not concerned by not having a Chelsea DEF at all?

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

        Yes, that's a concern!

        1. proczell
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          So, whats your advice if I may ask?

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

            I'd probably go Panti+Terry+SOT defender (not Gardos), and downgrade Cameron to find the funds.

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

        you could get rid of bertrand and just have Forster for soton cover then buy chels? depends on how much money you have over...

  6. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Forster (McCarthy)
    Hutton Clyne Cresswell (Clichy Wisdom)
    Haz Sanchez Silva Downing (Siggy)
    Kane Costa Austin

    2FT, 1.2ITB

    Suggested moves?

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

      Could downgrade Siggy to Boyd to free up some funds.

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Funds for what exactly what did you have in mind?

    2. LOCO ABREU
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      when are you wildcarding?

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        No clue, should I WC this week?

        1. LOCO ABREU
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          nah, only one move if you are wildcarding gw 24. hutton/clichy out if only one move imo

          1. Nice to Finally Michu
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Hmm okay thanks for this

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

      I would dump Cresswell and Downing after this week, fixtures turn horrendous.

      Maybe Clichy out this week? To another saint perhaps.

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

        Actually I notice you have no Chelski defence! Clichy to Terry?

        1. Nice to Finally Michu
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Hmm I could afford that, would you take a chelsea defender over a Southampton one?

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

            Yes!

  7. Richd

    1. Rhinos

      not sure if i should wildcard or what now 😐

      1. Ando
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think you need to IMO.

        1. LOCO ABREU
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          -4 and tripier a doubt now

    3. Ando
      • 12 Years

      You're in very good stead.

    4. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Gtg.

      1. Cousin Greg
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Hey Doosra
        who will be starting this gw between Collins and Tomkins ( assuming Reid is fit)

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Difficult. It should be Tomkins, but we are having a spot of bother with BFS.

          1. Cousin Greg
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Can Tomkins be benched for his fight with Noble?
            And Collins is bang on form for past few games.

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              What have you been watching? Collins is a disaster. 😕

              1. Cousin Greg
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                No he is not. at least for last 3 - 4 games.

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

      Having both. Potential highest scorers for the remainder of the season for mine.

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

        Costa isn't highest scorer so far so why should that change?

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

          Best fixtures, best team, best forward. Obviously can't know for sure, can only hope!

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

            Gonna miss lots of games from now till the end of the season. Capital one cup final, FA cup run, rotation after Champions League (tougher fixtures in knockout phase) and costs nearly twice Austin! Doesn't get any BAPS and too many YCs for me. Got his points covered with Haz.

    3. proczell
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping both

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Both

    5. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      think i will have them both after my wc but for now i think i will pick aguero

    6. droginexile
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I shipped rooney so have both at the moment. will see what the wildcard brings.

    3. Ando

  16. NapalmDeath (Northern Chaos…

    Austin > Crouch 2-game punt. Thoughts?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie

      Could work, with diouf away he'll be there main threat

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I am very sorry. I am doing that. 🙁

      1. Le Limpar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        You've eaten your words on Sanchez, Doos? And celebrating with a captaincy. A noble act.

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

          Pun intended?

          1. Le Limpar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Yep!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Well, he seems to be over his tiredness. His pass completion is still crap, though.

          1. Le Limpar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Will happen when you are trying to thread the defence unlocking pass. And he's creating more chances than anyone else because of it.

    2. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      did it last week but going to leave him off this week

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Tempting. Very tempting.

    4. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      So last week!

      Nah, he could score well, surely gonna be goals in that game.

      ADM at the moment for me, his record against poor sides is great.

    5. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No but decent choice, likely to be goals in this one

    6. chrisjdgrady
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Very close to doing it myself! Him, Costa, or crazy punt on Terry maybe

  18. Aussie_Toon_Lad
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Who to play?
    A) Hart (ARS)
    B) Guzan (LIV)

    1. LOCO ABREU
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      B for saves

  19. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Kane will be the most captained player in the top 10k and top 1k right?

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

      No

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      They'll all bottle it and get Aguero. Assuming they are not lying in the first place 😉

        • 16 Years

          top 1k are very conservative with their heavy hitters

          Same. Judging by this forum it's probably somewhere near 50/50 that have got him early,no?

          No idea, I just think Kane will be captained by as many who say they will

        I reckon Kane will be more captained than Aguero tbh.

      Doesn't look like it

    2. ILOVEBAPS

      Auger possibly. At 75% but they are known for not being too accurate.

    Fab or hazard, already have costa and terry?

    1. LOCO ABREU
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      haz no doubt

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

      Hazard is the more attacking player, so will likely out score Fab in most weeks, but also has the tendency to go missing during games, which is where Fabregas (Mr. Consistent) is likely to pull back the points.

      I've got both, but probably would stay with Hazard this week if I had to choose.

    Baines or Cresswell for a 1 week punt

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years

      Crosswell

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

      As a Baines and Jenkinson owner, I'd say the latter ... he's even on free kicks and better chance of a cleanie

      Unless you plan on buying two of Aguero, Terry, Chadli or Wasi you should be fine.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        only 1

    Any one worried about no man u cover this week?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not me

    2. Bojaninho
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      no

    3. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      They have easy game, so yes. Di Maria my main worry. The rest, not so much.

  29. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years

    To Granville and Mark.

    MIrralas and Chadli especially aren't fantasy island risks. Just classic players that anyone could transfer them in . ..

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Surely FIR should be people with no recent form hence risk, Bojan Moses etc

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        agree

    2. Oz lotto

      Mirallas is absolutely a fantasy risk I reckon! He's made of glass

  30. Nice to Finally Michu

    A) Austin, Silva, Clichy > Puncheon, Kun and that new German stoke defender -4?

    1. crteer

      B - Terry or Bertrand.
