This week’s episode of the ScoutCast certainly doesn’t lack “Kahunas” but it does go without my nasal tones.

Another bout of man-flu got the better of me this week but, rather than can the episode, I allowed the lunatics to take over the asylum and run this nonsense without me. Granville and Jonty rise to the occasion, ably abetted by this week’s star guest, Jack Wain – previously number two in the world and still part of the pack giving chase to former guest, Simon March.

Jack makes his appearance just as his gutsy gamble to ignore the sure-fire Sergio Aguero captaincy backfires. Granville and Jonty analyse his brave fall from grace, while quizzing our FPL luminary on the Gameweek 37 double and the great Eden Hazard dilemma, all courtesy of another round of questions from you, the community.

This week’s episode was beamed live via the magic of Google Hangouts on Tuesday evening. You can view that webcam wonder via the larger player below.

For the polished, directors cut audio version, you’ll be needing this link or the smaller player below.

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

  1. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    How is this for a plan?

    GW 37) Hazard ---> Cazorla
    GW 38) Sanchez/Silva ----> Hazard

    Another option is:

    GW 37) Silva ----> Cazorla, and potentially bench Hazard for Alderweirald ((AVL) - I have Benteke)
    GW 38) Take a punt.

    Which option would be better?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'm stumped, don't know

    2. Zh0u
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      First one. Hard to see Silva not doing anything this week.

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

        Dont be so sure...

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

      The first option as Haz won't play and you keep Silvastreak.

    4. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I prefer the second

  2. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Jose Mourinho will be speaking to the media today at Cobham at around 2 pm.

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

      Who cares. Elland Rd is where it's at.

  3. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Utd to sign Kane? Oh god no

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I've just googled it.

      Don't worry it's the Daily Mail. It's completely false 😉

      1. 11 Angry Men
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Doesn't the Daily Hate usually get this stuff right?

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yes.. Kane, Bale, Hummels, Gundagon, Muller etcc

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

      Why don't you want kane?

  4. Skokym
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Hello FFS,

    Have Ramsey, Ozil, Gru ... Is Ramsey to Caz for free pointless? Scared of Ramsey game time :-/

    Thanks

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      You must have other bigger transfers to do?

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

        Not really

        Pants
        Skrtl Toby Jags
        Haz Ramsey Ozil Silva
        Tekke Kun Gru

        I can go fo PVA but not sure. Maybe I will save the FT

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Gw 38 is a lottery anyway. A lot will get rested perhaps. So you may as well use it this week. Good team for this week btw

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

            Cheers!

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

      Dont think its worth it tbh

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

        Cheers

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Use FT on best 1st sub you can get, to cover for either Rambo or Hazard rotation.

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

        yeah thats the most likely thing I will do. Cheers!

  5. Doctor X
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Repost. Hit bottom. Need some help picking one of these. Have Sanchez and Ramsey. All the moves for a (-4)

    [A] Skrtel, Cazorla, Gomez ...............(Bench Hazard and keep for 38)

    [B] Koscielny, Henderson, Gomez......(Bench Hazard and keep for 38)

    [C] Koscielny, Silva, Hazard...............(Risk a Hazard cameo in 37)

    1. Jafalad
      • 16 Years

      A

    2. Tommytour

    hey guys, can any of you link me to those hilarious press conferences for the ffs wc tourny? I think it was by team south Africa but I may be wrong though.

    Thanks in advance. Needed kinda urgently

  7. istanbul05
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Migs,
    Ivan, Kosc, Rose,
    Haz, Silva, Ozil, Gomez,
    Kun, Benteke, Kane,

    Myhill, Hendo, Alder, Schlupp. £1.1m and 1FT

    A) Silva and Alder > Sanchez and *cheap 3.9 DF*

    OR

    B) Kane and Hendo > Giroud and *cheap 4.9 MF*

    Cheers guys!!

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      B, and i'd play Alder over Rose

      1. istanbul05
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks!!

      2. 11 Angry Men
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        1. istanbul05
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Had him since the DGW and just not been able to get rid due to other transfers!!

  8. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Did you guys hear about the Boca Juniors fans pepper spraying the River Plate players in the Copa Libertadores ? Hahah

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      That's not funny

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Not for players just funny they let it happen in the tunnel..

  9. weaver93
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    morning guys

    Bench one of these

    A: Schlupp (SUN)
    B: Alderweireld (AVL)
    C: Fellaini (ARS)

    Cheers

    1. The Generalator
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      tricky, i think there will be goals both ends in the SUN match though

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      B is your bench option to play

      1. weaver93
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        thanks guys..

        my bench consists one of the above and Boyd & Baird..

    3. 11 Angry Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I am benching Schlupp. He has been great but I think Sunderland will score this week.

  10. The Generalator
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Chances of Monreal playing both DGW matches?

    17th, Utd
    20th, Sunderland

    24th, West Brom (I think Monreal rested here?)

    30th FA Cup Final

    Do I get rid for -4

    Many thanks

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

      Don't get rid just pray

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        this

    2. The Generalator
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      thanks

      I can FT him for another Arsenal Def, but then I will have no Sunderland players

  11. Tommytour
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy or Henderson?

    1. The Generalator
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Vardy

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Henderson. Vardy could be taken off early depending on the score

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

        Still a sore foot?.

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          I think so

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

      Hendo

    4. bar low tell me
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      fancy liverpool going crazy on this game

  12. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    What's the consensus on here for Sunderland strikers?

    Currently on Defore but ehhhhhhhh duno

    1. Zh0u
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Wickham

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

      Thought you'd be an expert on rubbish strikers

      1. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I know right!

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

      No thanks. I'd stay away from SUN mids and fwds as they barely score and when they do it's a lottery.

      Just get 2 SUN defs and Pantz like me.

  13. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Rank these three out of the best to have if you want double Arsenal MF alongside Sanchez

    Ozil
    Ramsey
    Cazorla

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Zh0u
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Caz and Ozil

      1. The Generalator
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I think Ramsey is a risk for DGW, looks like he's quite injury prone.
        FA CUP approaching also!

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      caz, ozil, ramsey ( but ramsey first if he plays both games)

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

      1st Rambo
      2nd Rambo
      3rd Rambo.

      1. Acquafresca
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Injured Rambo

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

          Okay. Rambo then.

    4. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Ozil due to game time but it is a lottery. Roll the dice

    5. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Caz
      Ozil
      Ramsey (injury and rotation risk)

    6. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Cazorla, by a huge margin.

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

        you'd better be right 🙂

    7. Dre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      There are quite a few articles that literally do what you're requesting

  14. The Generalator
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    I'm 60 points off the 1000 club, I have 3 Arsenal players, would having PVA help my cause???

    I load of peeps around me have him

    many thanks

    1. The Generalator
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      *so I have no sunderland players

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

      For free yes

      1. The Generalator
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        -4

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

          Not worth for a hit

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

      It wont hurt

      1. The Generalator
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        thanks Skokym

    4. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      everyone has 3 + 1/2 DGW players..

      depends on the players you own..

      1. The Generalator
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Siva
        I can do PVA for free and risk Monreal playing DGW
        or upgrade Monreal and get PVA -4

        ??

    5. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I was watching that goal he missed v EVR last week in the penalty box. Great skill, poor finish. He's worth having I suspect though.

  15. MISTAOM
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Pick two to start out of: Morgan Cahill Azpi Henderson

    Note I'm already starting Schmeichel

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I don't think either chelsea players will play, so the other two

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Hendo, Morgan

    3. jernej93
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Hendo and Morgan ... other two are rotation risk 🙂

    4. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Azpi and Hendo

  16. jernej93
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Hendo or Albrighton?

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

      Hendo.

  17. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    SO nobody joining me with Ohhhzil(c)?

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

      Just Christina by the looks of things 🙁

      1. Acquafresca
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Refused.

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          I don't see why you would want to. If ozil gets loads of assists it means someone else is scoring like sanchez, ramsey or giroud. So you may as well captain one of them

          1. Acquafresca
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            True. Who do you fancy?

            1. Bolivian Seaman
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              Boringly sanchez. Though I have a suspicion giroud will do well. He might not be marked as tightly, and he's playing against teams who aren't good in the air

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

      Yes for my draft league side. Not holding out much hope.

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Nope, enjoy your 5(10) points.

      1. Acquafresca
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Fortune teller?

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          😉

  18. Jafalad
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else want the season to go on for a bit longer?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Nope, I want to start again.

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

        What's your rank PP?

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          7k.

    2. Mr Sarcastic
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Lol no, it's too long already (fantasy season I mean).

    3. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Can't wait till it ends, will miss watching it but can't stop getting reds at the moment

  19. Red Reddington ⚽
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Graham/Wickham/Defoe?

    Taking a hit to replace Sterling with Gomez?

  20. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Looking at doing Cahill+N'Doye-->Kolarov+Defoe (-4). Makes sense right?

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah I guess.

  21. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Morning lads

    What time are the press conferences? Can't find any sticky

    1. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Morning LR. No clue.

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        How's DGW team shaping up fella?

        1. Acquafresca
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Can't decide captain.

          Pants
          Ivan PVA Moreno(Berty)
          Alexis Ozil Gerrard Gomez
          Aguero Giroud Kane

          1. La Roja
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            If you're chasing, then Ozil.

            1. Acquafresca
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              Planning that currently, cheers.

    OSPINA
    PVA - Skrtel - Schlupp
    Silva - SANCHEZ (c) - RAMSEY - Sterling
    Aguero - Vardy - Kane

    Bench : Schmeichel - Hendo - Ivanovic - Toby

    A) Vardy > Defoe (4 pt hit)
    B) Ramsey > Cazorla (4 pt hit)
    C) Play Hendo over Vardy
    D) Leave as it is

    1. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      C

    Morning lads

  26. Rhinos

    Looks like Ryan Taylor gets the nod over Wes Morgan. Can see a 0-0 in the sun-leics game but having someone in free kicks is so much sexier

    1. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Taylor could be one of my first picks next season. Should be cheap.

    2. Shane H
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      A 0-0? Both teams need the 3 points to make that last day less stressful, I reckon there's more chance of a 3-3 than a 0-0.

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

        Sunderland will look to keep it toght, that is pretty much a guarantee

        1. Shane H
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          I'm sure they would but unfortunately for them a 0-0 going into games against Arsenal and Chelsea means they could go down, unfortunately for them also is that keeping it tight is not in their hands when they play an inform attacking Leicester side scoring plenty of goals.

          They haven't turned into a side that dictates games overnight, they are still a very poor side and will do well to stay in the league.

  27. BlzE_94

    Kane and Bale to united? o.O

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Suarez and Messi too

      1. Acquafresca
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I hear Neymar will be joining them in a swap deal for Falcao Rooney and RVP 😆

  28. S.Kuqi

    Thoughts about doing Kane -> Wickham for a hit?

    Planning to do Wickham -> Benteke in gw38

    I'm chasing 35 point lead and need to things bit differently

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

      I wouldn't. How about you just captain an arsenal player your rival doesn't own. That in itself could be enough if you get lucky.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Its huge risk not to captain Sanchez. I might slip from top 3 (get paid) if Cazorla (c) fails.

        Cheers.

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

          OK well you need to choose if you're going for first or holding 3rd. Pretty difficult to do both

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Silly IMO.

    3. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Not kane.

    4. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Def not

    5. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'd keep Kane do that trade next week.

      Go for Defoe if you must though, Wickham stats are a bit shie

      • 13 Years

      Thanks all!

    Who thinks Gerard will score a brace this weekend?

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Benched. Will come on for the second half

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I think he'll start, it's the best way for liverpool to avoid the europa league

    2. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Very much doubt it unless he gets some penalties
