I can’t deny it – right now my luck is in. Following on from Sadio Mane’s three-minute explosion of points, I’m finding it hard to mask my “smug face” in this week’s ScoutCast episode. You’re advised to stick to the audio version rather than suffer it in full effect via the Google Hangout recording.

Whilst resisting the temptation to revel in my Gameweek 37 glory, I do my best to invite both Granville and Jonty into the conversation to cycle through the ScoutCast regulars. We also tackle another batch of community questions, as you quiz us on final day punts, our Fantasy Football Scout moment of the season and on the state of the Fantasy Premier League game that we know and love.

This episode was recorded on Wednesday evening (prior to Eden Hazard’s visit from the tooth fairy) and beamed live on Google Hangouts.

As mentioned, if you’re a glutton for punishment, you can view witness my battle to hide my grin via the movie below. Alternatively, you can sample the edited audio version of this episode via this link or the smaller player above it.

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

    Schmeichel
    Kosc, Terry, Skrtel
    Sanchez, Cazorla, Silva, Hazard
    Aguero, Kane, Vardy

    Krul, Grealish, PVA, Alder

    1FT, 0 ITB

    Any Ideas?

    1. Gazj11
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Hazard > Yaya

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        That's probably the sensible option!

        I'm tempted by Kane & Hazard - > Bolasie & Lukaku for a hit though..

      2. InvernessChris

        Where's the yaya love coming from?

    2. brianutd-why always we? 20

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      They don't have guests every week.

        I know but at this stage of the season it's good entertainment

  4. GummiG
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Trailing by 12 points in my ML
    1,2m in bank. and 1 ft. Any ideas on transfers? I have thought of bringing in Silva and Ulloa for Kane and Hazard.

    My team:
    Schmeichel
    PVA - Iva - Alderw - Kosc - Duff
    Alexis - Santi - Hazard - Hendo - Cambi
    Kane - Tekkers - Aguero

    His squad:
    Ospina
    Bellerin - Clyne - Schlupp - Moreno - Hutton
    Hendo - Alexis - Hazard - Sterling - Philips
    Kane - Tekkers - Aguero

    1. RVP fc
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Have to consider he will prob do hazard to silva. I would go hazard to yaya and captain him, he will probably captain aguero, so could get silva and captain him.

      1. GummiG
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        I dont really think that he'll bring in Silva as he just shipped him out before this gw. Taking a punt on Ulloa (c) not a good idea?

        1. RVP fc
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          I wouldnt as he could play kramaric or nugent, I would captain tekkers if i was you

  5. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Repost from last post that was finished

    Take a hit and do haz to yaya
    Or play either mcshane boyd or clyne from bench?

    1. Gazj11
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Take the hit

      1. ralfb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Ta

      2. RVP fc
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        hit

  6. d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Bony and Walcott
    Or
    Bolasie and Ulloa

    The two options I'm looking at. Super risk for the first but big potential imo

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Walcott and Ulloa

      1. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Means I would play play Defoe that way 🙁

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          ah bugger

          go with your gut

          second one safer, 1st one puntier

  7. Viper

    10 years, 9 months ago

    Evening all! Here's my situation. I've my 2 important mini leagues wrapped up and I sit 1 point outside the top 10k (which was/is my target). Which move should I go for? I personally would love to do A but do I jeprodise a top 10k spot?

    A. Kane & Hazard - > Lukaku & Bolasie

    B. Hazard - > Yaya
    C. Hazard - > Bolasie

    1. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years

      B

      1. RVP fc
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        B, i assume you have silva?

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah I have Silva & Aguero

          1. RVP fc
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            Possibly would go A then, can see city get more than 3 and if they did lose you would be in trouble with 3. Fortune favours the brave, like bolasie or lukaku could explode and if city do well you have aguero and silva as cover(probably one as captain

  8. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Only 56 outside the top 10k

    *believe

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I'm 1 point outside top 10k and not overly convinced 🙂

    2. John t penguin

      What is number

    3. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      That's my mini league lead. Let's hope it's not possible 🙂

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Mine is 60, I don't believe it's do-able, that post was very much tongue in cheek

        that being said, with Schneiderlin out I may take a cheeky (c) punt on Yaya

      2. Ziegler1988
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        56 on one person is improbable but takes a very poor week and very good week. 56 on the top 10k average is nigh on impossible

      Harry on being in everyone's FPL 😆

  10. F5jason
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Hi guys, can I get some advice on my team... I know it needs wirk, but just don't know what to prioritise.

    Mignolet (Pants)
    Terry, Koscielny, Clyne (fonte, alderwiereld)
    Sanchez, Ozil, Hazard, Fabregas, Henderson
    Kane, Austin (Murray)

    2FT 0.1 ITB

    1. F5jason
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      26 points clear in my ML

    2. InvernessChris
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Fab to silva, play it safe

    3. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Kane or Murray -> Lukaku

      Fabregas -> Bolasie/Adam/Milner or whoever u fancy

    4. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      3 Soton defs. Omg, are u normal?

  11. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Is giroud playing?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      He's in bed.

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Not until Sunday!

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Welbeck isn't so I don't think arsenal have much choice

  12. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Panti, Hamer
    Skrtel, Morgan, Dawson, PVA, Naughton
    Puncheon, Cazorla, Ramsey, Sanchez, Hazard
    Benteke, Kane, Kun

    Ramsey/Cazorla & Hazard -> Silva & Mata & -4 (bench Kane)?

    Look good? Cheers

    1. The Generalator
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      and the keeper??

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Took a hit to bring in Panti thinking that he'd break even and got pleasantly surprised by his haul.

        No keeper is worth a hit in last week

  13. InvernessChris
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    13 points behind. Cheeky bugger overtook me last week after I've been top all season (berahino blank against Newcastle hurt me, and trans him out for benteke last week hurt)
    My teams not in good shape I need help.

    Ospina myhill
    Pva Hutton terry Clyde trippier
    Sanchez ki Colback cleverly has
    Giroud aguero Benteke

    1FT 1.2 in the bank
    Need a cap punt and a transfer
    I'm stressed

    1. RVP fc
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Hazard to silva/yaya and captain

      1. InvernessChris
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers, yaya has poor game time recently and my opponent has silva.

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Benteke (C)?

      1. InvernessChris
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Burnley have been pretty solid def recently

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          You were after a punt!

          I'd suggest going for your best differential if you're trying to close a gap

          1. InvernessChris
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            It is a good shout.
            Ha yeah good point, cheers dude

  14. Sarri-ball
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Better combo

    A) yaya/ bentake (treble city attack bentake cover rival)

    B mata/costa

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      A

  15. Mavric Marco
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    So Mata or Young? What's the consensus?

    1. InvernessChris
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Mata

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. I'll have to make my transfers tonight then

        1. InvernessChris
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Are you behind? Could punt herrera

          1. Mavric Marco
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            Na I've already won both my ml's - just for laughs at this stage! And for my best OR

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Both capable on the day. Mata if I had to pick one.

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Nice 1 Epic

    3. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Not worried Di Maria plays in place of one if them this week? Young has a slight injury I think

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Yea I am, but I think we've done well without him in the team so why change it now? Expecting big things from ADM next season though

        1. d1sable
          • Has Moderation Rights
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Yep me to. He's quality I just hope LVG dosent mug him off. I can't help but think Januzaj / Di maria will get a game or at least part this week.

  16. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Is haz def out now!

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      No.

      1. Frank Black
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        No??

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Maureen said he hopes he can play. Looks unlikely though..

        2. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          He's not confirmed out.

  17. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Scout cast would be fun if they didn't pre select the questions and had to just answer any that came up.
    I would pay to get Rohn back just for that

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I think it would be better just answering questions from community and chatting about the weeks footy.

    2. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      where did Rohn go?

  18. PGR
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Is Bony likely to start? Any indication at all from Pellegrini in his press conference?

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Doubt it. I think only Kompany will start ahead of Demichelis.

    2. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I think he might

  19. Wishdom Teeth
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    hazard+ fabregas -> silva + yaya ? too much city given already have aguero

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      They could easily score 6 goals.

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Can't see it against Hampton but hey its the last day of the season and it could be a free for all.

        1. Wishdom Teeth
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          I cant take striker punt because that means hit unless i keep one of these two. Such a difficult decision to make

  20. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Who to get in for Ozil?

    A) Bolasie
    B) Puncheon
    C) Mata
    D) Young
    E) Siggy
    F) Sissoko

  21. PGR
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    12 points behind in my ML. Should I go Costa or Mata captain? Opponent has neither.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Aye, May aswell.

      1. PGR
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Which one?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Whoever you think will score highest.

          Costa for me.

    2. InvernessChris
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Mata imo

  22. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Already have Kun & Silva but...

    Haz to yaya -4

    Hendo to Bolassie/Milner -4 and play Haz with philips1st sub?

    Thanks

  23. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    right, gonna shut down FPL

    Right now I'm set on Hendo or Ramsey and Hazard to Milner and Yaya but I'm under no pressure price wise so might as well wait in case we get any more news on Hazard or possible Arsenal rotation right?

    1. TorresMagic™

      lol

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      My latest flight of fancy is Hazard and Wickham to Lukaka and Willian

    3. Epic Fail

      Always better to wait than to not.

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      still one more training session to go so yes

    5. Viper

      If you wait then do! Probably won't get anything other than rumours at this stage though..

      1. Viper

      • 15 Years

      You know the answer.

      Also you won't shut down FPL and will change your mind before bed! 🙂

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I think so yes. Aarons is just coming back from a long layoff so don't expect him to be ready to start yet.

        It's Yaya last game at City, he might be particularly motivated by that.

    A. Kane & Yaya + 4 points

    B. Lukaku & Bolasie
