The ScoutCast – Episode 166 – Patsy

It’s Jonty’s time to curry sympathy this week and he’s on the receiving end of a barrage of cyber-bullying from co-host Granville.

Determined to the belittle Jonty’s Wildcard performance following Callum Wilson’s hat-trick, Granville takes to Twitter before roasting him live on air on the ScoutCast. He seems to have totally missed the fact that I too sold on Wilson as part of my own Wildcard; I’m quite happy for Jonty to play Patsy on this one.

Jonty rolls with the virtual punches to join us as we look back on the Gameweek that saw all three of us refresh our squads. We score our Wildcards out of ten, before scanning the community for Gameweek tales in “Rough with the Smooth”.

We then take on your questions, as we assess Pedro’s pedigree, the lure of Aleks Kolarov and the merits of a well-rounded squad in the light of the FPL chips.

This ScoutCast was first broadcast live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday. Be sure to subscribe to our channel for news of upcoming live Casts. You can view the broadcast in full via the larger player below but, if you prefer the edited audio version, you’ll need this link or the smaller player.

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

    What do you guys think de Bruynne will cost and who loses their place or does he sit on bench?

      63 million quids

      1. Tommy Wiseau

        8 years, 9 months ago

        In fantasy price

    2. Taffer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Navas out and will be 10.0 in Fantasy

      1. Azathoth
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        More than Pedro?I don't think so.

    3. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      10m

    4. Business Dog
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      9.5

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Same as Pedro? Highly unlikely

    5. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Navas out,KDB left,Sterling right,price 9.0-9.5

    6. 11bigboy11
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Navas, 10m

    7. Tadic is the new Eriksen
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      9.5

    8. Kno
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      9,5 minimum. Probably closer to 10-10.5

      Jesus for the bench.

    9. Doolittle
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      9.5 I reckon, and Navas.

  2. Pooodle
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    On my WC, would you go:

    A - Coutinho and Gomis
    B - Ayew and Benteke
    C - Coutinho and Benteke (ditch Migs)

    Current team is below, 1.4 ITB:

    Migs, Ruddy
    Kolarov, Cedric, Gomez, Nyom, Targett
    Sanchez, Silva, Coutinho, Mahrez, Westwood
    Aguero, Gomis, Wilson

    1. Lucy.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'd go B, I think, despite having just bought Coutinho 😛

      1. l@sp0
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Who did you sell? I'm thinking about doing Payet --> Coutinho. But it'll be for a hit.

    2. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      C for me

    3. Tommy Wiseau
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Gotta be b

      1. Pooodle
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I'm leaning towards B because Benteke has such high ownership, but A might be a way to catch up

    4. RustyBz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      B

    5. Trae44
      • 8 Years

  3. 50shades of o'shea

    Who to bench out of this lot:

    Mahrez
    Wilson
    Diouf
    Shaqiri

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Shaqiri if you must

      1. 50shades of o'shea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        He was my differential, the others cannot be benched, i wildcarded so i have quite a strong team. If people have a strong non wc team id advise them using the bench boost

        1. RustyBz
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          This is why I don't like having 8 options in MID/ATT

    2. NorwichCityLad
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Not any of them

    3. pompeyfan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      none of them, AOA or someone else

      1. 50shades of o'shea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Front 8: sanchez, pedro, yaya, mahrez, shaqiri
        Wilson, Diouf, Aguero (c)

        1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          AOA

          1. 50shades of o'shea
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            AOA?

            1. Mr Sarcastic
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              All out attack

                • 10 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                Wildcarded team ...

                1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 9 months ago

                  fek it then

                2. Mr Sarcastic
                  • 13 Years
                  8 years, 9 months ago

                  I know, but AOA still means all out attack 🙂

            2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              • 9 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Downgrade Shaq to Westwood and udgrade defense, but I guess you really wanna keep him.

  4. NorwichCityLad
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    2. nn11

      Defoe

    3. Tadic is the new Eriksen
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Defoe. Targett/Darmian too tough to call, pick the one with the shortest betting odds for a cleanie

  9. PF7
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    I am considering using my bench boost this week.

    My current starting 11 are

    Myhill

    Darmian Kolorov Richards

    Silva Ritchie Sanchez Depay Mahrez

    Gomis Aguero

    Subs
    McCarthy(che) Targett (NOR) Francis (LEI) Watmore

    I have 1 free transfer not used yet. I could sell Watmore and buy Wilson (LEI) as I have some funds itb

    I usually play 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 so 2 defenders are usually on my bench. I do not think I will have fixtures as kind for my 3 outfield players again.

    Any Thoughts?

    Thanks Guys

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      buy wilson then use the bench boost

      1. PF7

        Thanks 50 Shades.

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          My team was in a state so i wildcarded. But if you have a decent team like yourself the bench boost looks very appetizing considering the fixtures this week.

          1. PF7
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Mine was in a state so I wildcarded last week. The fixtures are favorable for the 3 outfielders once I buy Wilson. Thanks for your help

  10. SuryaXO
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    So here's my situation:

    I have in my MF Silva-Mahrez-Depay-Fab-Wanyama

    I want to ship out Fab. Would you triple up on City with YYT-Silva-Aguerro?

    Or should I go for a mid priced mid and next week ship out Depay to get in Sanches with the money in the bank? If yes, who is a good mid priced mid to go for?

    Thanks, guys!

    1. HearMeRoar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Chadli? Shaquiri?

    2. Tadic is the new Eriksen
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Xherdan Shaqiri

  11. Tadic is the new Eriksen
    • 11 Years

    G2G? Bench order okay? Thanks!

    Butland
    Kompany, Muniesa, Richards
    YYT(vc), Sanchez, Ayew, Mahrez

    Myhill; Westwood, Darmian, Proedl

    1. Trae44

      looks good

    2. Neo-Viper

      Yes and Yes

  12. Big4FPL
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on my team for this GW? Giving Depay one last chance as there's noone worth bringing in for a hit in place of him.

    Courtois
    Sagna Darmian Gomez (Williams Oxford)
    Hazard(VC) Silva Depay Mahrez (Westwood)
    Aguero(C) Diouf Gomis

    1. Tadic is the new Eriksen
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sweet, should do very well - kudos for keeping faith with Hazard, think it could pay off big time this GW

      1. Big4FPL
        • 9 Years

        Cheers! I hope so anyway!!

    So last nights result is good for Southampton in the league I guess.

    Did Mané come on? I'm desperately hoping for something from him this weekend having taken the drops on the chin.

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      He didn't, which is really odd as to why he was even named on the bench!

      Kind of glad I ditched him now.

    2. HearMeRoar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No Mane I'm afraid. Was on the bench, so maybe he'll get some game time this weekend.

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 9 Years

  20. boc610

    so with markovich gone to Fenerbace pretty much all of rodgers signing from last season have been either sold, loaned out or dropped (some not even making the match squad).

    Guys having trouble looking back at my team (Wildcarded this week) Diouf is too expensive just to sit on the bench so im thinking of reconsidering. Any feedback would be heavily appreciated.

    Butland (McCarthy)
    Lovren, Cedric, Kolorav (Richards/Francis)
    Mahrez, Sanchez, Shaqiri, Pedro, Yaya
    Wilson, Aguero (Diouf)

    Please Help, Thank you Guys

      Downgrade Shak to 4.5, upgrade Diouf to Tekkers.

      Template, but for good reason 😉

        shaqiri was my differential though, you dont rate it?

        1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          You have Diouf from Stoke,that is enough from them

          I do rate him, just not 8 attackers that give you a benching headache every week. Invariably you'll bench the wrong one which will break your will eventually.

      Get a cheaper 5th midfielder and then you don't have a benching dilemma? Otherwise, jump on the Wilson bandwagon as he is cheaper and also has great fixtures and you have Shaqiri to take advantage of Stoke's fixtures.

      Tough but i would say one of Diouf/Willson on the bench,or play Diouf and Shaq on the bench.

      Diouf is on form and has WBA at home. Im currently on him in my wildcard with cash in bank to jump on best Arsenal player as it becomes clearer.

    Now that Soton is out of Europa, is it right to leave in Cedric on a WC?

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yes....especially if SOT play 3-5-2

        ta Hazardous. Is it right to keep Haz instead of going for Pedro?

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Keep Hazard......forsee a goal tomorrow
