Our latest ScoutCast episode is dedicated to the memory of long-time community member Simon Humber, aka “Absinthe”, who sadly passed away last week.

Granville, Jonty and myself pay our respects by going about our business – just as Absinthe would have wanted.

We overcome Granville’s late arrival to analyse Gameweek 36, while deflecting the latest bout of community posers that have us assess the likelihood of Chelsea rotation, run the rule over Arsenal assets and lament the demise of Sir Leighton Baines. We also take time out to reflect on our season’s biggest errors, while Granville is given the unenviable task of selecting the best Fantasy manager from Jonty and myself – like a sultry temptress choosing between a pair of doting admirers.

This episode was aired on Tuesday evening via the magic of Google Hangouts. You can witness Granville’s unceremonious crash landing in all its glory via the full fat YouTube version below. Alternatively, if you prefer your ScoutCast more refined, you’ll require the edited audio mp3 via this link or the first player below.

Don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel for alerts on new episodes and to get involved in the Hangout live discussion next week.

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

          I might play Schmeichel over him because I feel they have a shot at a cleansheet, but it's close

    Hazard / Sánchez / Hendo / Boyd / _____
    Vardy / AUSTIN / Aguero

    A) Keep Fàbregas
    B) Fàbregas >>>>> Mata, Herrera, Fernandinho, McCarthy or Mirallas (-4) and who??

    I would have to do a -4 this week and a -4 next week to downgrade Fab (or his replacement) to Gomez and do Austin to Giroud.

    A or B??

  4. The Bandit

    It doesn't matter what comes out of their mouths.. Miliband doesn't look the part, he will never be PM

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      In the UK you are voting for an MP / Party not a PM, different to US

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      That's a sad indictment of UK politics there.

      In my lifetime I've seen at least 3 PMs who look like total c@nts, and 1 PM who looked like like an evil crazy old b@tch.

      Is that what PMs should look like?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Image is everything and it's naive to suggest otherwise.

        1. The Machine
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Looool

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            First election? Maybe you think the lies they all tell are more important? They all tell lies but some just look more honest. Miliband looks like the shifty stamp collector your mum told you stay away from

        2. Boss Hogg
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I agree with you.

          Just saying that it's a shame that looking like a total c@nt is seen an a desirable quality to be Prime Minister.

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Probably because if you're not a c@nt, you'll be pushed around by some other c@nt.

        3. Numb
          • 10 Years

          Sadly you're right

  10. Your Man With The Hair
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling is getting the boot tonight but who should I bring in?

    a) Silva (and transfer him out for Carzola for DGW next week)
    b) Carzola

    I already have Giroud and Rambo

    1. DAN DARE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Tough call. I'd say Silva if you haven't got Aguero. Otherwise Caz

  11. JaydenLFC87
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    How much of a contribution will Wilshire make in the DGW do ppl think??

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He probably doesn't have the fitness to start a game, so I wouldn't worry too much. Theoretically he could play anywhere in the midfield 5, but I think on the right is most likely whilst he looks for sharpness.

    2. JaydenLFC87
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks for the in depth reply. points from the wing you say..

    Right more help is needed from the lovely ffs community more than ever.

    I am currently 2place in my mini league and chasing down a bitter rival. They are 45pts ahead, and is beginning to put the brakes on by transferring the same players as me to prevent any damage. I won the league last year from a similar position so I believe I can still do this. Just need some strong advice on what to do with my team next.

    My team now:

    Pantilimon
    Terry Ivanovic Bellerin
    Hazard Ramsey Silva Fellaini
    Aguero Giroud Vardy

    (Heaton, Alderweireld, Cambiasso, PVA) 0.4m itb

    Rival's Team: (he just took -8pt hit to get Silva n Rambo to block me)

    Schemichael
    Okore Koscielny Terry
    Sanchez Hazard Silva Ramsey
    Aguero Vardy Ndoye

    (Given, Henderson, Alderweireld, Bruce)

    So...

    3 game weeks.. 45pts.. What can I do?

    Get in Kane n (c) him? Berahino vs Newcastle? Need some tips to try and close this gap.

    1. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Get Benteke and C him. Stay clear of Berahino

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      How about get Berahino this week, and cap him, then cap Giroud next week and bring in Kane for Hull?

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Kane in for Bera*

    3. seanie3
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      How do you find out what transfers he made? thought we could only do this once deadline had passed

      1. DAN DARE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        If its a case of make up 45 points or bust I'd suggest Giroud (c), save the transfer, double up on Sunderland next week. Wickham and Defoe for Vardy and Aguero. Benteke in and (c) if Villa not safe wk38

      2. DAN DARE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Assume he meant last week

  14. Manani
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    1FT, 1.3m in bank

    play one of
    Hendo, Cambiasso, Clyne, Moreno

    should I go for FT and change out hendo to someone else?
    or just save that FT and play hendo?

  15. Numb

    2-0 Sunderland!

    1. Syd.

        yeah it's not as if a professional footballer could lose weight over TWELVE months 🙄

        1. Gooner97
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Rooney for example

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Rooney hasn't been 'skinny' since Everton 😉

        2. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I think it's more likely he lost his belly after 9 months... 😉

    1. ralfb
      • 11 Years

      Gundogan also might go to bayern

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I think Bayern are preparing a bid for the entire city of Dortmund.
        People, buildings, the lot.

    2. Numb
      • 10 Years

      The Metro are clueless although they say "according to reports" so they are obviously parroting someone else.

      1. ellelelle
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I feel like some journalists don't even need reports to cite reports, though..

      2. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        think I covered that in the opening line 😉

        1. Numb
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Indeed, I was just supporting your point!

    All the boxing experts from Saturday have become political experts today

    1. The Bandit

      Who will get knocked out in the first?

    Does sterling and Baines to sanchez and pva look ok for -4. Have henderson who I'd like to get rid of, and hazard if he is still on holiday!

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I'm probably keeping Hendo..gut says Gerrard doesn't play and then he's on all set pieces

  19. Spencer

    • 14 Years

    15 points behind my ML rival. Copy him and (c) Aguero, or (c) Benteke?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Captain the one you think will score the most. 😉

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        This is a frequent and dumb answer when applicable to a one v one question

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      15 isn't that much. Assuming your teams have 4 or 5 different players, just go for whoever you think will score most.

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Has he got Benteke? If not (c) Aguero

    4. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      15 is nothing. I'd go Kun if you're confident in the rest of your team.

    5. BlzE_94

      benteke is going to blank this weekend.

      1. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I doubt that.

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        With Burke in defence? I'm not convinced.

        He looks like a schoolboy, and Zamora physically dominated him, so just imagine what Benteke will do! 😉

      3. BlzE_94
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        i'm almost certain benteke will blank, anyways lets just wait till saturday to see that i was i right.

      4. BlzE_94
        • 11 Years

        what did i say haha

      Thanks guys. I thought I'd taken the lead, but he brought Benteke in last week. And had Coutinho.

  20. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Just for this week:

    Sánchez(c) / _____ / Hendo / Hazard

    Fàbregas to Mata/HerreraHerrera/Fernandinho/Mirallas/McCarthy (-4)

    Yes (which of them) or No??

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I'm no fan of Fabregas, but none of those option are particularly appealing. Can you afford Silva?

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        NO, just for 0.1, damn... 🙁

        Keep Fàbregas??

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Are you maxed out on Arsenal?

        2. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Can you get Ozil or Ramsey?

        3. ellelelle
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Keep fab and hazard to silva? if not this week .. then next?

        4. Ibracadabra´s Spell
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I already have Koscielny and Sánchez.

          I´m thinking Fàbregas and Vardy/Austin to Gomez and Giroud next week for -4.

          I can do Fàbregas to Ramsey/Ozil this week for -4 and keep Austin next week or even do Hazard (maybe rested) and Austin/Vardy to Silva and Benteke next week.

          What do you guys think.

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      None of those.

  21. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    FFP restrictions means PSG will have just €48m (£35.6m) to spend (pre-sales) this summer.

    Looks like Pogba to City is a no brainer.

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Yeap not like Real Madrid, Bayern, United, Barcelona or Chelsea can afford him.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Barca can't buy him, Bayern wont spend that much, Real Madrid are maxed out in CM, United is too much history, Chelsea will be looking at more defensive players, City probably cant afford him.

        Pogba to Arsenal. 😎

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Forgot about Barca but all others are easily viable options. PoP is just a City fan. 😉

        2. pundit of punts
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Rumours that Arsenal have already moved for Schneiderlin.

          City don't have any FFP restrictions. We sure can afford him.

        Of course they can but they don't need him atm.

        RM - Kroos and Modric
        Bayern - Alonso,Schweini,Martinez,Thiago
        United - He won't come
        Barcelona - Rakitic,Busquets
        Chelsea - Matic,Fabregas

        Pogba has to sit on the bench at all those clubs.

        1. Davido989

          Chelsea makes sense. Cesc moves to the 10

          That's not true at all.

          They need depth - Ramos is playing mid.
          Again depth, huge problems with injuries, Schweini and Lahm getting on.
          I don't think he will but money talks it's not unfeasible.
          Probably unlikely but Iniesta is getting on, would hardly be surprising.
          Pogba is better than Oscar and Cesc can play number 10.

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years

            Pogba won't join teams to provide depth.

            He will join a team where he gets first team football week in week out.

            1. Beavis

              He can get that at all these clubs. You're in dream land if you think otherwise.

              1. pundit of punts
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 7 months ago

                How does he get week in week out football at all those clubs when they have all those players that i mentioned above fit an firing?

                He'd have to sit on the bench and wait for someone to get injured.

                i'm not in dreamland. Things are falling into place for city.

                1. Beavis
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 14 Years
                  10 years, 7 months ago

                  Because none of those players are fit and firing. These teams play 60 game per season, if Pogba got 35 games it would still be good enough for him as a first season.

                  City will strengthen no doubt about it and they may buy Pogba. But they may not. Don't delude yourself.

                  1. pundit of punts
                    • 12 Years
                    10 years, 7 months ago

                    All I'm saying that things have fallen into place for city as all other big clubs have big names in that position.

                    So other clubs might be very reluctant to fork out such a huge sum for a player to make him sit on the bench at the start of the season and wait for injuries.

                    Such a big signing has to start games right away and at those clubs that'd not be possible.

    2. Davido989

        I think he'll be gone this summer.

        No room at Barca and Real.

        1. Somalion
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Not once has having too many players been an issue for Real. They love their big signing every Summer. Not saying that's where he'll go, but silly to rule it out.

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            James was their last big signing and he has done well, and then Kroos and Modric are probably better than Pogba anway.

            1. Beavis
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

              They've got nobody else though.

                • 12 Years
                10 years, 7 months ago

                Isco, Lucas Silva who they just bought. I can't see Pogba going there, when he simply wouldn't get in the starting lineup. Especially as Ancelotti barely ever changed his team.

                If Real Madrid were to sign players, it would probably be a GK, DM and a striker before another luxury midfielder, imo.

              My point is just that none of that matters, they still want to make a giant signing and Pogba is a name everyone knows much like James last season.

              1. Wilshere Knowledge
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 7 months ago

                Yeh I know what you mean, but James was an improvement on ADM, Pogba isn't an improvement on James, Kroos or Modric, imo.

              Pay anyone enough money and they'll do what you want them to. Real have an impending transfer ban, might mean they need to stock up sooner rather than later. Once again, not saying I expect it!

      ..let's be real, if United want him they can get him. Pogba is a professional and everyone involved in that whole 'debacle' is gone now so there's nothing to say he won't go back.

      That being said, Pogba screams 'journeyman' to me, so whatever fee you're paying it's for a couple years' service before he moves somewhere else.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Pogba has ruled out a United return.

        And even if he leaves, it'd mean his performances were top notch and he 'd enable us win silverware and then we can also make profit on him when he leaves for Barca/RM/Bayern.

          "The truth is that part of me said it was difficult to say no to Barca but I wanted to continue at home for many years at Atletico," he told AS.

          "It wasn’t time to leave. This is my home, where I feel wanted and the club didn’t need to sell. How was I going to leave at the best time for Atletico?

          "It’s not easy to say no to Barca and their interest was appreciated. It means the work I’ve done has paid off. But I’m at home here.

          "I’m just another player at Atletico, a player who gives everything for his team and does what Simeone asks. I’m not the best or the flagship, the banner. The most important thing to me is to make a better Atletico and be a team player, which is ultimately what matters.

          "The new signings are great players, they’re all important and I believe they will all contribute a lot to the team. They hope to do things right and that is something Simeone values highly."

      Someone would have to put in a phenomenal offer. And by someone I mean Madrid.

      Possible. But I hope not as he's my favourite PL player.

      Can't see it happening.

      To be honest, even as an Arsenal fan, I wouldn't like to see him leave. Probably my favourite player outside of Arsenal
