The ScoutCast – Episode 168 – Casual

What makes a “casual” ScoutCast host? Perhaps one who takes to his bed even after a table topping 60-point return?

Despite bringing in his biggest haul of the season, leaving both Jonty and myself in his wake, Granville’s man-flu gets the better of him. Not to worry, Luke, aka “D1sable”, drops in to fill his evening slippers, helping steading the ScoutCast ship as we prepare to cross the choppy waters of another community fueled episode.

Luke and I look on enviously while Jonty gets dewy eyed about Dimiti Payet’s Monday night returns, before we switch attention to the fortunes of the Fantasy Football Scout crowd, scanning their Gameweek tallies in another bout of “Rough with the Smooth”, which this week includes a precautionary tail of a Fantasy Football rage injury.

We round off, as always, with another bout of community questions, assessing the lure of the five-man midfield, strikers and their desperate quest for bonus points, the great “casual” debate, whilst entertaining the idea of making Kolarov our captain. The season could hardly be more bizarre.

    Anyone here play Mondogoal?

      Very Few I guess

        There are so many people playing that don't seem to have a clue. Easy money.

      I play and I'm amazed more from here don't

      Might give it a try soon. Guys in my minileague are printing money there, one GW they finished top 3 in the 10k. One of them got 1st and twice 2nd in the 10k in the first 4 GWs.

    What to do with Pedro?

    Stick and play Cedric (MUN)
    or
    Switch to Sanchez / Walcott / Payet / Coutinho

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

      Take a 2 week punt on Shaqiri (LEI, BOU) and then after that get Pedro back in based on Performance...

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

        or a 2 week punt on Coutinho is also not bad

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          This

        2. Koflok
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Cheers Moin. Considered that actually

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

      I have him, and I am going to stick with him.

    3. conorbon
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sanchez as he will start firing soon and has looked good in last few games, just missing that first goal to kickstart his season.

      Chelsea arnt great defensively so Arsenal should score.

  3. athleticbilbobaggins
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Walcott for Arsenal cover? Sanchez isn't performing.

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

      Ozil.

    2. EMILE FOR ONE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      He is performing. He has just been unlucky not to convert his chances into goals

    3. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      his stats say otherwise. Wally a choice if you have decent bench cover.

      1. athleticbilbobaggins
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Goddammit. On my WC and really unsure.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Read the posts and you will see your problem is common.
          Alexis or wally is not really a problem; especially this week even with a WC. Both easy to move on a normal tfr.

          1. athleticbilbobaggins
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Cheers man. Really tempted to go with Walcott as no one in my ML has him.

            1. Eze Really?
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Just Remember Wally will need bench cover in the Mids/Forwards. The money you save on him will be spent on a productive mid/forward. Just like Kolarov/Gomez

  4. Jazz!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I took out Sanchez for Silva (c), hopefully that doesn't bite me 🙁

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

      Brave!

    2. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I have Tekkers skip and Silva vice.

  5. merin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 years, 9 months ago

    Pick a captain for this week:

    Butland
    Kolarov Darmian Gomez
    Yaya Sanchez Payet Mahrez
    Aguero Gomis Wilson

    Mahrez? Aguero? Yaya? Kolarov? or maybe Wilson?

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

      Wilson as im not sure if Aguero will start

      1. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        There won't be a harder captain pick than this week.

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

          There will be 1 in GW 38 ......when you know it is impossible to win FPL

          1. Eze Really?
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            good point. People chasing the ace in mini leagues.

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

      Kolarov a decent bet..but West Ham has performed well against Big Teams this year...I like Wilson(c) option...Sunderland will definitely concede..

    3. Dogba
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Aguero.

  6. conorbon
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Hi Guys,

    Who should i take Pedro out for?

    My other midfielders are Sanchez, Silva, Montero and Albrighton. I have 0.2 ITB.

    Thanks!

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

      Mahrez

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

      Coutinho or Shaqiri

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

    What the consensus on Gomez's starting prospects for the weekend after last night?

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

      Many people saying Sakho and Moreno might start this GW...

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

        Is there anything concrete about him being dropped? Probably best to get rid if on a wc then?

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

          on a WC better to go for a fully nailed on option..but nothing Concrete now....

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

            cheers, will ditch probably

    2. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Only Rogers can answer that question. Liverpool played well against the French and Gomez and Sakho were both good. Gomez at CB though!

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

    Play richards (home to wba) or darmain (away to soton) ?

    tnks

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

      WBA Attacking wise haven't done well this season...Richards might pay off..I am playing him..

    2. sleecc
      • 8 Years

      Richards

  9. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Thinking of getting rid of Depay - he's done nothing!

    Already have Mahrez, Ayew, Silva, Kouyate.

    Any suggestions?

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

      Depay to Coutinho (if you don't have Benteke) or Shaqiri even..

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Snachez? You have been lucky so far with him avoiding to get points.

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years

        Snach 😆

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years

      Sanchez, he has been quite unlucky so far

  10. Demel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Would you play...

    Darmian - Southampton away
    Francis- Sunderland home

    1. sleecc

      Francis

    1. Moin

      Go for Mcarthy // Krul instead of Butland...

      and Upgrade Gomez to Skrtle...

      Reset looks good in B

      1. Moin

          till now he has been decent..I think Yes

  12. La Roja
    • 12 Years

    Not sure what to do with Pedro

    Myhill
    Darmian Kolarov Gomez
    Sanchez Silva Mahrez Pedro
    Kun Gomis Wilson

    McCarthy Bellerin Targett Surman

    0.2 ITB & 1 FT

    A) Pedro out for Coutinho
    B) Pedro out for Mata
    C) Pedro out for Ayew
    D) keep Pedro, play Bellerin

    1. sleecc

    Hazard YYT Cazorla Ayew Shaqiri
    Aguero(C) Vardy Wilson

    Leaning towards Cazorla......

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Caz for me too

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Caz...be brave and captain Shaqiri 😉

    3. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Vardy

  14. 2 Girls 1 Schlupp

    guys, to whom does your (c) armband go this GW??

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

      aguero if confirmed fit today

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

      If pell says kun starts then kun

      If he is more ambiguous (which he will 've, I'll go mahrez I reckon...form player in league)

      You?

      1. 2 Girls 1 Schlupp
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Going with Mahrez right now.

    3. sleecc
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Kun

      1. 2 Girls 1 Schlupp
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        even though he hasn't found the net lately??

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

          I am patiently waiting for him, he is explosive.

        2. The Man Pastore
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          1 assist and 1 goal in 15min with Argentina

    4. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I don't see aguero playing more than 60 odd min.

      It's a tough one cos he could do the damage within an hour anyway

      I'm on Silva at the moment

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

      Coutinho or Kun, Can't decide...

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Kun. Or else Wilson

        1. Dogba
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Wilson. Cheeky. I'll be going Kun.

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

          Wilson also could be a great punt..

    6. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Benteke

      Pool will go mental

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Can't see pool going mental at all

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

          BR is seriously on the verge of getting sacked - fans lost patience - a big performance incoming

          1. andy85wsm
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            If he's really on the verge of getting sacked (which I'm not convinced by) then it's for poor performances. Not sure why that suddenly makes Liverpool players good captain optons.

    7. Spatburgunder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sanchez for me

  15. Stannage
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Morning all.....still really stuck with what to do here....think I'll bench Pedro....but who is best Shaw replacement for me....naughton, bellerin or someone else?...Team is below...

    McCarthy Begovic
    Kolarov shaw Dawson Francis oshea
    Pedro sterling Sanchez mahrez Westwood
    Kun Wilson gomis

    Thanks!

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

      Skrtle...Naughton also not a bad option..

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Bellerin

  16. jsborgen
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    What do you guys reckon of my WC-team? I've been holding on to the WC until now... Couldn't manage to see all the points fall out of my team.

    Myhill Gomes
    Kolarov Darmian Bellerin Huth Targett
    Ayew Barkley Payet Silva Mahrez
    Aguero Benteke Wilson

    Bit unsure of Barkley as Everton has tough fixtures. I'm also a bit keen on having Hoolahan. I'm also considering Mata/Oscar/Ozil.

    Thoughts?

    1. Dogba
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Uhm, who's the bench player in this team?

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

        I currently have Gomes, Huth, Targett and Payet on bench for this GW.

        Or is your point that I should invest more in a starting 11 and have the cheapest possible on 5th def and mid? I would like a starting 15 and as it is now, I don't need the money to have the bighitters as they're not performing

              I assume.

              It was always Jordan but now he is out pool have no other regular confident penalty taker.
              I will be shocked if someone else took it.

                I expect Milner to take them

      Latter.

    Was all set on bringing in silva for pedro.

    But if I opted for yaya or sterling instead it means I have funds to upgrade gomis to costa the week after.

    Thoughts on this?

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

      Sterling will score more goals I guess

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Who do u get rid Gomis though?

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Those Chelsea fixtures..

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          That form though..

          1. super zlatan
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            They can only improve. It's Chelsea.

            1. Royal5
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Sure, but no Chelsea player is worth their pricetag atm

              1. super zlatan
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                Hmm. Good point.

                I guess I should get silva then.

                Silva is life.
                Life is silva

    3. Lord Flashheart

      Go even cheaper and bring shaqiri

    4. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Costa out of form. Would proceed with Silva.

  20. KISSES

    Mourinho says he is going to leave it up to Hazard as to whether he takes the next pen. I really cant see him relinquishing that responsibility.

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Pretty sure Haz will take the next one.

    I have been looking at Mane's stats.

    I said last Season, with reason, that he seemed unable to bend his runs. This Season, coaches have tagged on to that weakness, and he will find life difficult, unless he learns.

      Not consistent or heavy enough for me.

    2. Spatburgunder

      If I had to have a SOU mid it would be Tadic I think

      1. DannyBoy....
        • 9 Years

        What About J Rod as an option?

  22. rocrocodile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Two questions. Would love some response:

    A) Pedro to Mahrez for -4? Right now, I just want to bench him and save me the hit.
    B) I'm trailing badly in my mini league. Just HOW crazy would it be to triple captain Ayew tomorrow? I'm ready to take a gamble at this stage, just to get back in the game. The chances of succeding is slim, but the payoff could be quite big.

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

      Who plays for you if Pedro is benched this week?

      And I'd rather triple captain Benteke than Ayew if that were the case.

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

        Westwood or Cathcart.

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

      Save, but wonder why do you still yet to have Mahrez?
      It is just after 5 GWs, I am bottom and 50pts behind in my ML. Too early to get panic.

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

        I wonder too. I went straight into the Ramsey/Yaya/Kane trap. "He'll soon cool down"/thought other options promised more points. I'm just not very good at this. Ditched Payet on my wildcard as well. This is dark.

  23. tikka mo'salah

    Any pressing issues?

    Begovic

    Kolarov - Gomez - Darmian

    Mahrez(C) - Sánchez - Silva - Payet

    Gomis - Wilson - Agüero(VC)

    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Butland - Westwood, Richards, Williams

    1FT - 1.1M ITB

    Save FT, and reassess next week, or do Williams -> WBA def?

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

      No problem, save.

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

      Save

  24. mina
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Silva + Benteke

    or

    Aguero + Coutinho

    1. athleticbilbobaggins
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Aguero + Silva. Both are essential man.

  25. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    I seem to be a lonely figure with KDB in my team!

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

      I have him too! Took a risk when he turned up, and was disappointed he didn't start, especially considering Silva wasn't playing. Fingers crossed for this week...

      1. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I have a feeling he starts on the bench again

        Pelligrini showing loyalty to Nasri / Navas

  26. The Machine
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    I was gonna captain hazard but now that i think he wont be on penos against arsenal, really running out of ideas

    Costa maybe? Benteke?

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Trekkers from that lot.
      Heist be on pens with Hendo out?

      1. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Maybe, could be milner as well

  27. HVT
    • 13 Years

    @ Dogba-I see your in the 'group of death' alongside Sporting/Kinnear and myself!
    Best of luck mate!

  28. davies

    GTG?

    Myhill
    Kolarov (C) - Gomez - Francis
    Sanchez - Yaya - Mahrez - Sako
    Aguero - Gomis - Wilson

    Butland - Payet - Darmian - Williams

    Cheers.

    1. sleecc

      Yes

  29. Mrd2410

    8 years, 9 months ago

    Triple captain Wilson?

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      God no

  30. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Seeing a lot of people on here saying Pedro will be back next week.. has it been confirmed as short term or is this just speculation?
    Btw.. Mourinho's exact quote on Pedro was "i THINK he is out for sure" . That THINK gives me hope 🙂

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      "For sure" doesn't give me any hope

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        🙂 .. Hope that it's short term. Fully expecting him to miss this GW and i dont mind cause i've got the mighty Shelvey coming off my bench 🙂 .. what hurts is i did Hazard to Pedro last week

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

      The 'lying' one. Do you trust what he said?

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Considering he said both "Think" and "for sure" he has covered both bases 😆 ..

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

          It us upto the people to decide.......optimistic people like me feel that there is a chance that Pedro will play......

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

          I remembered last season Costa was also similar, his price went down quickly, and eventually Costa played. Luckily I did not boot Costa.

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

      Mourinho today will say - "Pedro has surprised us all with his speedy recovery . He is available for selection"

      Imagine the scenes on FFS

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Would not be surprised tbh.. I'm just hoping he confirms it's a minor/major injury. dont mind leaving him on my bench for a week

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

          I am even going to start Pedro from my team.

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

            Makes sense that but what if Pedro is subbed on at the 90th min

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

              He will play if not injured.
