The ScoutCast – Episode 159 – Inactive

1,585 Comments

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.

If you prefer the slick, slimline audio edition, you’ll need this link or the first player below.

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

          That's confusing post your full compliment of mids and proposed Transfer, sorry if I'm annoying.
          In order I'd play:
          Ramsey / Ozil
          Fab
          He do
          But Fab does release funds if needed.
          Hope that helps

        Problem is if he doesn't play this week then I'm missing out on Giroud and next week he'll be more likely to play so I'll want to keep anyway!

              Vardy - form is great; has the absolute best fixture possible in the PL right now
              Sterling - form not great but a very good fixture and likely plays upfront
              Silva - form not great, recently injured and a toughish fixture

              Balance of probablities says bench Silva, especially as you probably have Aguero.

          It's a tough one but having watched City and Silva the past few weeks I think Hendo

          City are half bothered playing in 3rd gear. Only concern would be that Spurs will prob attack and afford us space so Silva and Aguero could be dangerous but I'd still go Hendo v QPR

    Basically need to downgrade either Coutinho or Clyne to afford Sanchez, so which is better?

    a) Young, Clyne, Dawson and Rose

    b) Coutinho, Huth/Morgan, Dawson and Rose

    Leaning towards B, which would give me:

    Panti - Schmeichel

    Terry - Ivan - Huth/Morgan - Dawson - Rose

    Hazard - Sanchez - Cazorla - Coutinho - Boyd

    Giroud - Aguero - Kane

    I had convinced myself that the best move was to be patient and hold off on Sterling to Sanchez for another week, but...

    I just spotted that Sanchez has scored 1 goal and 1 assist against Hull on both of the two prior occasions they played this season -- 4 Jan in FA Cup and 18 Oct in league,

    and

    Sterling didn't score against QPR in their earlier meeting on 19 Oct.

    I've also still got Coutinho, and am not wild about doubling up on Liverpool after these last two games even though that had been the original plan, and I'm inclined now seeing the earlier results in this weekend's matchups not to delay. Anyone want to try to talk me off the ledge?

      Decent points there. But now towards the end of the season, the game is completely different. Hull are brimming with confidence and have super-effing-tight at the back. And they're playing at home as well.

      Makes me a little less confident of loading up with Arsenal players.

      On the other hand, the QPR defence is really sh*t all the time.

      I was aware of that and had planned the same move.

      However I am still not convinced that I really want Sanchez rather than Ozil. Plus Ozil allows me cash for another transfer I'd like to make.

      Sterling has a great fixture and will probably be upfront so there really is no harm in waiting. Plus Hull are in better form now. I have decided to save FT.

        If you haven't decided on Sanchez, then I totally understand waiting. But, I'm not in that boat. And, not taking anything away from what Hull has done in the last two games, but did they really transform into a different team overnight? If they hold through the first half, then things could be tight, but it could open up quickly once Arsenal gets that first goal.

        Thanks for your input.

          No, Hull didn't transform (though confidence makes a big difference). But they have always been defensively well organised, I saw them play at Chelsea earlier in the season and was quite impressed with them. Their problem has been in terms of lack of goals rather than at the back.

            I agree with this, though to be honest they weren't that great defensively vs liverpool, they allowed a lot of shots, harper had a great night and pool were wasteful..

            that being said - considering bringing giroud in for ndoye this week, have cambiasso 1st sub but not v impressed with his attacking potential in the last game.
