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.

    Which players are you going with for the DGW? I'm not a wildcard and only have Terry, Hazard.

    List to pick from?
    Schemical
    Schlupp

    Terry/Iva
    Cesc
    Hazard
    Remy

    Coutinho
    Hendo
    Sterling
    Skrtel/Moreno

    I'm not sure how many I'm going to buy...

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      McShane

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Schmeichel offers the best potential cause of saves
      Terry/Ivan, Hazard and Remy if fit
      Hendo, Sterling, Moreno

    3. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling, Moreno, Cesc

  2. Sid07
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Current team for gw 33
    Heaton
    Terry bertand dawson toby
    Haz mane silva boyd
    Aguero kane
    (panti - sanchz - naughtn -giroud)

    2ft and wc in gw 34
    Which two transfer to make

    1) giroud to murray/vardy
    2) boyd to bolasie
    3) naugtn to baines

  3. Dr. Agabuse
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone watched the LPool vs NCastle game?

    How did Ibe perform?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Subbed off, not good

      1. 32chickens
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        yup

    2. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He's not up to full fitness right now so he didn't look sharp. He was also playing wide which is not good in terms of FPL.

  4. Phillips
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Looks like Bolasie is going to rise.

    Lose Erisken or Siggy to make room for him?

    WCing next week.

    1. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen

  5. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Oezil to silva
    Or
    Giroud to vardy?

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Ozil>Silva because you'd probably want Giroud for that DGW coming soon

      1. ralfb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, but probably also would get ozil back and maybe ramsey

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      A IMO

  6. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Was last week the first time Bolasie played the number 10 role?

    1. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure but it surprised me how well he did!

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Same here (as did many). But it's rather good news it it was his first time. If not, then it's not really appealing to get him in for a one week punt to be honest.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      No...GW29 as well...Two assists.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Oh. This is good. Cheers.

    3. WoodsyOwl
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Looking at the average positions (not sure how good a guide it is) of their last few matches, he was wide left vs City and Stoke but central vs QPR and Southampton.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Interesting. Cheers!

  7. Torres76
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Best strikeforce for GW34

    Ageuro, Kane and Vardy??

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Remy would be better.

  8. WoodsyOwl
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    a) Bolasie in for Boyd (bench Berahino in GW34)
    b) Murray in Berahino (bench Boyd in GW34)

    TIA

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      B IMO.

      1. WoodsyOwl
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks for the reply LB42, I was leaning towards B.

        Only worry is whether I've missed the boat with both Bolasie and Murray.

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          I got Murray in this week so I hope not 😉

          1. WoodsyOwl
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            He seems to be heavily involved whenever I've watched Palace (live and highlights). He on penalties too I think. Let's hope he delivers 😀

  9. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez > Fab

    and

    Naughton > Schlupp

    Thoughts?

    1. Declan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Will you want Sanchez back?

    2. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe. Its either him or Giroud that has to give way.

      And Remy/Costa don't look like they'll be fit

  10. Declan
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    How many DGWers will you have GW34? Thinking 5 here.

    1. WoodsyOwl
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Currently have Schlupp, Terry, Ivanovic, Henderson and Hazard
      Will be adding Mignolet and Sterling for a 4 point hit so 7 is the plan.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Probably 7 or 8 (WC)

    3. Jönny
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      hazard, ivanovic, remy (probably), Coutinho, Hendo, schlupp... Maybe Vardy.

    4. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Currently have Terry Hazard Remy Henderson and will have Migs and Sterling and maybe a Leicester punt so 7...ish with Remy

  11. Sid07
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Current team for gw 33
    Heaton Terry bertand dawson toby
    Haz mane silva boyd
    Aguero kane
    (panti - sanchz - naughtn -giroud)

    2ft and wc in gw 34
    Which two transfer to make
    1) giroud to murray
    2) giroud to vardy
    3) boyd to bolasie
    4) naugtn to baines

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      1 and 4. I think those two are who I'm getting in as well.

      1. Denis Tueart on the wing
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        2&4

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          No. Murray over Vardy for this week.

  12. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Naughton, Eriksen, Giroud to...Baines, Fabregas, Murray for -4 ?

    Worth it or not ?

    For DGW have 3 Chelsea players, but would need to bring in 2-3 Liverpool players for -4 or for -8...

    Too many hits ?

    Thanks!

    1. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      ..or should I just start preparing for DGW and save the transfers for that?

    2. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      go for dgw on dgw &
      do baines and murray for no hit

  13. Jönny
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Transfer done. Stick with this or have a flutter on a Boyd-upgrade for -4?

    Myhill
    Ivan Clyne Schlupp Trippier (Dawson)
    Hazard Eriksen Boyd (Sanchez Coutinho)
    Aguero (c) Kane Remy

    1. Declan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Stick

      1. Jönny
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I think I shall. Georgie Boy is "due" 😉

        1. Declan
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          fingers crossed 🙂

  14. Pea Soup
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    So Clyne is back for the Stoke game ... that's good news!

    Any news on Remy?

    What would you rather for DGW? Other players Terry, Haz, Schlupp...

    A) Cahill + Sterling
    B) Skrtel + Fabregas
    C) Skrtel + Cout + Hendo -4
    D) Skrtel + Fabregas + Vardy -4

    1. Declan

        Thanks, was thinking that

  17. Skruffy
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Giroud -> Remy?

  18. icywrists23
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    do you guys think its worthing doing sanchez>sterling or cou for week 34?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      More Basingstoke than Worthing

      1. icywrists23
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        what?

  19. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Who do you prefer this gameweek? Yaya or Puncheon?

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Puncheon. Looks like he actually wants to play football, unlike Yaya.

    2. Shota Coco
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yaya for me cause West Ham are appalling at the minute. A 5-0 wouldn't shock me!

  20. Lucy.
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    If I get Sterling in now, ready for the DGW (to sit on my bench this week), he's going to get injured in the FA Cup, isn't he?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      No I don't believe there's a correlation between the 2.

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Perhaps not logically. But you know, deep down, the FPL gods will make sure of it.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      😀

      That's the way FPL works obviously 😉

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        And yet I'm probably still going to do it...

    3. Declan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Inevitable

    4. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I can't say for certain. Would guess not, tho.

    5. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Probably. I got Skrtel in early so he'll get injured too 😛

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Oh good. We can weep together.

        1. Lallana_
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          I'll weep more since I'm a Liverpool fan 🙁

          1. Lucy.
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Ah yes. Whereas for me, at least there would be a silver lining in it for Southampton 😉 (not that I want it to happen - I prefer Sterling's health and FPL returns)

  21. boogle
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Any Spurs fans know if vert will be back this weekend?

  22. ASR11
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Team ATM

    Pants
    Ivanovic Dawson Clyne
    Eriksen Hazard Mane Silva
    Kane Aguero Remy

    Hamer Wasil Kos Ibe

    1FT, 1.2m No WC

    A or B?

    A
    GW33 Hamer -> K Davis
    GW34 Kos, Eriksen -> Skrtel, Coutinho (4pt hit)

    B
    GW33 Save FT
    GW34 Kos, Eriksen, Ibe -> Schlupp, Coutinho, Henderson (4pt hit)

  23. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    These stats are mind boggling 🙂

    - Walters + Bolasie + Ki + Boyd + JWP + Fer = 28 goals, 30 assists

    - Yaya + Ramsey + Oscar + Coutinho + Lallana + Barkley = 29 goals, 24 assists

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Unboggled mind here.

    2. Declan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      If both groups played the same minutes it would be, but as they haven't..........

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        yeap but still who would have predicted at the start of the season that after gw 33 the stats would look like this

    3. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Selective stats.

    4. Shota Coco
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      That's pretty wild.

    5. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Not really...

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Why not ? Just look at the differences in their prices.

        1. Pea Soup
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          And the difference in minutes on the pitch

  24. DHWizzo
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    For the first time today I listened to the Fantasy a Football Fix podcast as the scoutcast wasn't available yet. Can I just say what utter tosh it was. The 'pundits' were shocking and it almost seemed like they were giving garbage advice to protect their own position.

    Scoutcast is leagues better and far more valuable.

  25. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    If I sell Sanchez or Giroud I won't be able to get them back until GW37.

    A) Sanchez to Fabregas
    B) Giroud to Murray

    Fab has the extra game and decent fixtures apart from United whereas Murray has two great games then I would be stuck with him for some tough ones.

    Thoughts? Murray for the next two is highly tempting I have to say.

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      A.

    2. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I prefer Vardy over Murray for non-WCers.
      But A sounds the best to me.

    3. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Did A this week myself. Sanchez is too expensive IMO

  26. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    I still have Albrighton .worth playing him for the double gameweek. He seems to be getting a start again.

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on your single week options?

  27. Lallana_
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Davis
    Bertrand Wollscheid Lescott
    Fabregas Eriksen Hazard Silva
    Remy Aguero (C) Kane (v)

    Bench: Fonte, Skrtel (!), Lucas (!).
    1.5M ITB, 0FT.

    Good to go, bench in order? Not confident with triple Southampton as they are playing away.

    1. Shota Coco
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah looks about right.

    2. Rains of Castamere
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Fonte over Lescott for me, just think Soton have more chance of a clean sheet. Look at the players in isolation. Cannot see WBA keeping out a buoyant Palace.

      1. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers! Was thinking that but thought spreading it might be better.

        1. Shota Coco
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          West Brom will be very deep with probably 3 CBs so Palace's pace and crossing on the wings should be negated. A 0-1 wouldn't shock me.

  28. tbhogal
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Help needed guys I have two FT's!

    Krul (Heaton)
    Dawson, Terry, Bertrand (PVA, Wasil)
    Mane, Hazard, Eriksen, Sanchez, (Phillips)
    Aguero, Kane (Giroud)

    1. Shota Coco
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Any cash ITB? I'd get Fabregas in for Sanchez ready for the double GW34 but I've already done that myself! Maybe get Krul or Dawson out too.

  29. Will - Fantasy Football Hub
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Who will score more points?

    A. Bolassi (WBA, HULL)
    B. Cambiasso (SWA bur che)

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Bolasie for me.

    2. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Bolasie

  30. Pea Soup
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    So I need a bit of advice...

    Krul (Myhill)
    Clyne Terry Dawson (Naughton PVA)
