The ScoutCast – Episode 157 – Hipsters

Three middle-aged beards collide to talk Fantasy Football. Hipsters? Sadly, as Jonty so rightly points out, we bear a closer resemblance to a trio of David Brents.

A clean-shaven Ryan joins us to complete the quartet and boost the credibility: the Kiwi contributor wakes fresh and ready for action to mull over the Gameweek gone, the week’s transfer bandwagons and to look forward to the weekend’s action.

Around those regulars, we brace ourselves for the latest bout of quizzing from you, the community. We tackle the potential of the Palace form guys and the unlikely contribution from Hull and Leicester, as we cast an early eye on the looming double Gameweek.

The ScoutCast was beamed out live on Wednesday via a Google Hangout and you can view the full video recording on the player below.

Alternatively, for the polished, low-fat audio version can be found via this link or the first player.

Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel and Google Plus page to keep informed of when future ScoutCast hit the screen.

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

    For this week only ( wildcarding next week) which would you rather have?

    a. Vertonghen and Barkley
    b. Baines and Mane

    I've got Clyne on the bench.

        I've got Vert and Mane, but will only sell 1 of them.
        The question is, which one?!

          In that case, can you not sell Mane for someone better? A Palace midfielder maybe?

            Already got Punch and Murray.

            Team is:

            Howard
            Vertonghen, Clichy, Terry
            Mane, silva, hazard, puncheon
            Aguero, kane, Murray
            (Clyne)

            Got 1 more FT, and wildcarding next week.
            Baines is the obvious choice, but the doubts over Mane are making me look elsewhere...

        Ah, see the issue now. Probably Mane to Lennon for me, Newcastle are pretty toothless and Vertonghen has a fair chance of a clean sheet. Whereas Southampton really don't score many.

        Lennon is a better option than Barkley in my opinion.

    Anyone considering getting Murray in just for this week and then get Remy to replace him? Remy is way better than Vardy to start the DGW IMO. Also I don't think getting Kane out to start both Remy and Vardy for the DGW isn't too sensible. Thoughts?

      Its also not really a good reflection of the whole season though, its a small window at short period earlier in the season.

      Also I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the players don't necessarily vote for the player they think is the best, more likely there would be tactical voting for team mates etc. The same can be seen with managers and players voting for the Balon D'Or

          I just think in this day of technology I don't understand why they base it off half a season as everything is done on paper?! Leave it until a week before with an online process (they have agents that can explain the big confusing keyboard and mouse to them) and we would get a better representation.

          I think every player has right to vote for who they want but not sure that translates to who is the best. I can't really imagine anyone who voted for Coutinho honestly telling me Silva has not been better this season.

    He would make a great fifth mid and could bench smn like Ramsey or Giroud for the GW.
    Played a lot before his injury and just recovered to immediately start ahead of the likes of Markovic as a right strikter in a 443.
    If he was only taken of because of fatigue, he could be good for 120-160 mins in the DGW

      No.

      Think about it - a 0-0 would be acceptable for both sides. Usually there are goals in Chelsea-United games but I expect this one to be tight. Paddy Power give Chelsea a 40% chance of a clean sheet and United a 25% chance.

      If Southampton away at Stoke were a nailed on clean sheet it might be worth it. But it really isn't.

      I'd agree that 50% is probably a good estimate. Really is shaping up to be risky, and I'm about to eat 4 points to get him out. Sometimes in life, you just have to cut your losses and get on with it. Might be time for me, and other owners, to do so.

    Are you going with 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 for the big doubler?

    Cheers

    So does anyone know who's leading the line for Swansea this week, looking for a big differential one week punt and given Leicesters flat out attack I reckon this could be worth investing in. Is Emnes the automatic choice or could Siggy or even Shelvey be pushed up, I remember Shelvey playing the role for L-Pool in cup competitions in years gone by, any advice gladly appreciated!

      Emnes, perhaps? Not sure, but good shout.

        Good shout to lead the line, I mean. Not so sure about his fantasy prospects.

      Emnes played out wide on the left. The played without a real striker. Routledge on the right and I think Shelvey the furtherst forward. Not a bad punt. Also on pens

      Looks good given they are pretty tight at the back and Burnley look to be aiming for 1 pointers till the end of the season, best choice going this week for sure.
