The ScoutCast – Episode 159 – Inactive

Only one FPL manager could withstand a 52-point hit and walk away with a smile on their face. In this week’s ScoutCast episode we tell the extraordinary tale of the FPL champion’s “inactive” Wildcard, whilst looking back on Granville’s own, rather more successful squad refresh.

We tackle all the usual regulars, as Jonty arrives armed with another array of quizzical requests from you, the community. We look forward to the Gameweek 37 double Gameweek, assess the role of end of season motivation and recall the moment that Jamie Vardy’s girlfriend turned our world upside down. No really.

This week’s episode was published live on Monday via Google Hangouts. You can view the full, uncut footage in the larger player below or via our YouTube channel.

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

        Nor me, it'll make the CSs merrier.

        He was a nice price for those switching to Liverpool players last week and to Jagielka this week.

      God Damn Murray! Worst transfer of the season for me 😡

        Ditto ... stayed away for the 5 amazing weeks and got him for a 2 and a 1.

        Lucky I didn't bring him in...although Remy wasn't a lot better...

        1. Santi sensei

          I can feel that Remy pain .. tough luck

    My dog's team took an -8 hit last week and still managed a green arrow ... up to 169k.

    So proud of him

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Well he won't be bitching about that.

      1. Test Eagles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He'd give his left gonad to finish top 100k ... he'd give them both up for a top 50k finish.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          he'd give it all up for a sniff a bitch

            missing an of in there. Sounds like a lick-a-prize

            Sadly i think you're correct ... although the poodle next door brought in Grioud whilst he's holding with Kane in a "winner takes all league" - so he might have some incentive to stick with it for a while.

            1. Get up ya bum
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Nice well go Giroud then! Hope he still has his test eagles

    Would you like to help with my team fellas ?

    Schmeichel
    Ivan Terry Skrtel
    Hazard Sanchez Sterling Hendo
    Kun Kane Murray

    Subs: Panti , Rose , Wolls , Moses
    1FT, 0.1 to spend ..

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would bench Murray and play Wollsheid, save the FT and then next week you can do:

      1) Murray & Ivanovic > Giroud & Koscielny
      2) Murray & Sterling > Giroud / Benteke & Ramsey / Siggy
      3) Other transfers involving the riddance of Murray and the accumulation of Arsenal players

      1. Diva
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I like your suggestion 1 - if he can afford it.

    2. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Gotta save and pray. I would for sure start Murray over Wolly though, after reading TE's comment 🙂

      1. Test Eagles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Bwahaha ... and for good reason 😉

  6. Nickofoz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Play Clyne or Bertrand this week?

    On Bertrand at the moment, he seems to be slightly more attacking. Watching the Spurs game that was definitely the case although that could have been because he was up against Dier, whereas Clyne was against Rose. Thoughts?

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Honestly think it's a coin flip, either could snag a cheeky assist, or flop completely.

      Clyne maybe, just to stick by the lad through his price drop.

      1. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate.

    2. Diva
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Clyne, based on the assumption Saints will try to exploit PvA's defensive abilities.

      1. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers Diva, good call that.

  8. troller

    moreno to bellerin and murray to giroud -4 or play lennon and get bellerin for free

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years

      Not sure you want Bellerin. He isn't nailed on

      1. Diva
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Debuchy has a little hamstring strain apparently. There is the matter of Chambers though...

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          We all need to look ahead to GW37 when we consider Arsenal assets. Debuchy might be fine by then and of course there is still Chambers as you say.

          1. Diva
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Good point.

    2. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would be happy to take that hit, although there is a bit of uncertainty around Bellerin at the moment with his gametime so maybe hold off and save the FT?

    3. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bellerin is one of those players worth holding if you own but not worth a transfer in if you don't. If you can do Murray -> Giroud for free go for it, if not play Lennon.

  9. troller
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    then play lennon or bring in giroud

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      50/50 could do either or really.

    Captain this week?

    Aguero

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years

      Aguero. Just a gut feeling I had earlier in the week before checking out any details on FFS.

    2. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard ... i think the opportunity to win in style and secure the trophy will put Chelsea on the front foot this week and Crystal Palace will be looking to be aggressive also. Could be a bloodbath!

      Spurs are just so $hite at the back though 🙂

    3. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    best 3 strikers til the end of season?

    planning to ship vardy for giroud but his fixture is so tasty

    1. klass-jan
      • 10 Years

      Aguero Kane Costa

      1. I am 42

        no giroud? dgw mate

        1. klass-jan
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Don't think Giroud will get 180 mins in DG so I'll be having 2 MUDs and 1 def from arsenal. I also feel that these 3 are all going for golden boot so will be more selfish, possibly on pens etc

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

        This

          no kane? he is not going for golden boot?

          1. Amateur Pundit Zan
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Kun is also going for golden boot and has 4 from 3
            Benteke is playing for his teams survival and has lots from some (I'm too lazy to get the stat)
            Giroud also has lots from some and has an extra game

            1. I am 42

      benteke vardy aguero

  13. klass-jan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So I'm one of the few that drafted in Costa last week. Is it logical to captain him on the off chance he's fit and starts this GW? Some differential...Aguero VC if he's injured anyway

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Na I wouldn't. Could get dragged off early even if he does start.

    2. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd be very surprised if he starts. Jose has no need to risk him at all. I'd shift him out.

        More precisely
        Dawson -> Janmaat
        Go 4-3-3
        Bench either Silva or Sterling... benching Sterling more punty and bold

    Does the absence of Agbonlahor negatively affect Bentekke? or does it not matter?

    1. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      With a bit more luck against City, he could have had a brace atleast. Think he'll continue to get chances without Gabby.

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years

        Nice to know. Was looking for reasons for him blanking last week but if he's still getting good chances then thats ok.

    2. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's a great point Ryan, they were working really well with each other recently and were assisting the others' goals a lot. I don't think it will matter too much as they have a slick midfield capable of providing the opportunities ... but I'd definitely be looking at Benteke more seriously if Gabby was on the other side of the box. with him.

  16. I am 42

    choose 2 for this week only

    giroud kane vardy

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years

      I typed out bench kane but then couldn't bring myself to press send on such advice. Your call.

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 10 Years

      benchy vardy

    3. I am 42

      it will make things easier if vardy is not on fire

      1. I am 42

  17. Doctor X
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My plans narrow themselves down to these 2 options lads. Thoughts on the one with the most potential? ?

    A)--- Koscielny (hul - SWA - DGW - WBA)
    ------ Benteke (EVE - WHU - sot - BUR)

    B)--- Stones (avl - SUN - whu - TOT)
    ------ Giroud (hul - SWA - DGW- WBA)

    1. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years

      A does seem better but going without Giroud just feels wrong

    I'm trying really hard to be brave but I'm struggling to push the confirm transfer button (Kane -> Bentekke)

    1. OneTwo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Seems like a sound move...esp if you are chasing

    2. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      get a family member, girlfriend, friend, or stranger to do it.

      then it's not your fault when Kane gets a hatty in the golden boot shootout this weekend.

        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I don't mind blaming myself if I get it wrong. It just kinda sucks thats all.

        1. Shifty
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          in all seriousness, i think it's a good transfer to make. Benteke was fantastic against City and when he's on form, he's fpl gold dust.

          Those one touches and flick ons he's been executing during a competitive game have been audacious.

          1. Ryan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I want to be excited by FPL again and Kane isn't offering that at the moment and I just love it when Benteke's on form as he's a joy to watch. In saying that there is a sensible part to my mind that urges caution with such a move. I think I'll do it anyway though.

      might as well go for it. i m doing it next week too.

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, will wait for the final press conferences and then confirm the move I think

        1. Doctor X
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          It's quite an exciting move tbh Ryan. Id do it in a flash if I had Giroud in my team. But now I cant decide whether to bring in Giroud or Benteke :/

          1. Ryan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Fortunately I already have Giroud so I do believe I'm in a handy position compared to a lot of other people. The boring thing to do is save a transfer but then what good is that next week once Spurs have played a tough game against City. If feel as if if I don't do the move now, I'll never do it.

            1. Doctor X
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Have you considered Everton's upturn in defensive form? Would Benteke find it hard this weekend?

              1. Ryan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah I have and it a big factor in me considering saving a FT. Still a close call.

    4. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't do it, Home game against City this week, Hull in 37, he has dipped but he's still ticking over and still has the potential to score big, they are a different animal at home with their support.

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Benteke has better fixtures between now and the end of the season though when you compare.

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He does, 3 home games in 4 I believe but Kane also has 2 nice homes, you are protecting a rank so it would be really ballsy to dump him now and Villa are still a team near the bottom so those nice fixtures are also nice for opposition teams.

          I'm sure players like Kane and Aguero will want that Golden Boot in a season that delivered little for their teams.

          It's a big call mate, could work but could mess up a great season for you.

          1. Ryan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah its a big call. I'm gambling on the fact that Villa will be more motivated to do well.

            1. _Freddo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I wouldn't do it this week (if it was me) Kane has excelled in the big games at home this season and City ain't the best at the back while Everton have been fairly tight recently are on a bit of form, I'd see how this week goes and if he does poorly you've given him a chance.

              Who you captaining this week?

              Head says Hazard but feel Aguero is the one for me.

              1. Ryan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                I haven't put too much thought into it so my head doesn't say much on that one.

                Gut says Aguero so its on him at the moment and it will probably stay there. I do believe City will smash Tottenham.

              2. Ryan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Kane hasn't had a big game at home since February. Its a totally different situation now so I don't think I can put too much weight on that.

      I like it but you may want to start looking at some arsenal coverage for the double!

        Cheers Buzzedagain. Arsenal coverage is on the cards, just can't afford a direct Remy > Giroud this week, without a points hit. Not sure if it's hit-worthy.

        I'll probably look to draft in Ramsey for Sterling the following GW...

    1. PhoggyRatherGroggy

      Thinking Sanchez but will monitor form leading up!

      I can't decide at the moment. May end up getting a different midfielder to Sanchez yet.

      1. Test Eagles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ramsey!! All the way to the bank!

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Or Ozil, there really isn't that much between them all. Might leave this call till a bit later, happy with Bellerin and Giroud for now.

          1. Test Eagles
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            It's lucky that we've got this week to see how they line up and who's hitting their straps. Swansea at home the following week will be too plumb to ignore a mid!

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 12 Years

              Yeah having seen Hulls performance against Liverpool makes me happier to wait another week.

    Really can't decide whether to do sterling to Sanchez this week or next. Please give me your reliable opinion, deadzone!

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      FT? If so yes, if not then hold another week!

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes ft. I'm just worried because sterling has qpr at home and very high ownership.

        1. Test Eagles
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah good point, perhaps hold and use the 2 FTs next week ... do you have Hendo also?

    2. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Have the same dilemma - it would be so easy if it wasn't QPR at home 😕

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Do it now. Statistically Sterling is in terrible form, as in, really really bad. He's dead weight as far as I'm concerned.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I agree with you Ryan but on the flip side Hull at the back not bad either

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Arsenal are much better than Liverpool. I wouldn't expect them to choke in the same way Liverpool did. I wouldn't triple up on Arsenal for this game but having 1 or 2 should be all good.

    4. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I could give you a list of logical reasons why you should wait. or I could tell you I think alexis will get more points this gw. both would be truthful. 🙂

      1. Test Eagles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You think Hull away might be alright ... they've proven their defensive resolve at home of recent?

    5. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's a tough one because I want to do Sterling out for Rambo too.

      Sterling is awful just like Liverpool but they are playing QPR now and they have to show reaction front of their fans plus he may play up front too

    6. Scoredelario

      This is a tough one, and as a few say it could go either way. There are good reasons for both. I made this transfer today because I was planning on doing it prior to the results of GW34, and GW34 gave me no reason to want to keep Sterling. Sanchez hasn't been in the greatest BPL form, but scored a brace in the FA semi-final. I already have Hendo, along with Haz & Fab, and don't want to have my mid represented by only 2 teams. GW35 is make or break for me in ML because I'm going against #1 team. If I win, likely to win the season, if I lose, then I'm done. He has Sterling, so it will be interesting!

          Not yet. If I get him I might not be able to afford Sanchez, which isn't entirely a bad thing because I might prefer Ramsey or Ozil anyway. Just have to work out my budget between now and GW37 to come up with a few options before making a final call.

          1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
            • 10 Years

            Yep I'm really tempted to get Tekkers in this week for Kane as already own two Arsenal players Sanchez being one of them. Probably bottle it tho

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        See SCOREDELARIO 42 post above, lots of debate on this today. Tough decision, but for me I went Sterling -> Sanchez. With Silva in your squad you got more balance. Can go either way, go with your gut mate.

    re my sterling to Sanchez transfer this week or next, I decided to check the goalscoring odds for this week.

    Sterling: 2.00
    Sanchez: 2.25

    Obviously not reliable but I'd agree there is no big edge in getting Sanchez this week, so I'll just play safe and hold sterling one more week

    1. Ryan

      Fair enough.
