The ScoutCast – Episode 173 – Howler

Following on from Halloween, it’s time to revisit a horror show Gameweek from Granville.

Having gathered an array of green arrows in recent weeks, my ScoutCast co-host produced a pair of transfer howlers, watching on from behind the sofa as both Philippe Coutinho and Riyad Mahrez banged nails into his Gameweek coffin.

Jonty and I do our best to dwell on Granville’s misery for as long as possible, before attempting to cheer him up with similarly scary tales from the community in “Rough with the Smooth”.

We then take on your questions, debating Leicester’s legs, United’s decline and whether we can actually tame the Fantasy Football troll that is Romelu Lukaku.

This episode of the ScoutCast was broadcast live on Tuesday evening (before the news on Hector Bellerin’s injury) via our YouTube channel.

You can catch the full un-edited version of this episode via the larger player below, or take in the “polished” audio effort via this link or the smaller player.

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

    Being the last game of the GW, I really hope the NLD is a thriller.
    Got Sán{c}hez that game; as well as, Kane.

    My team is set, good luck to you all! 🙂

      You filthy weasel Huth, I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. You are a technicolor yawn.

      And did I mention that you smell?

    Who do I drop this week from this front 8. AOA is not an option.

    Sanchez / Mahrez /Mata /De Bruyne /Ozil

    Lukaku / Ighalo / Benteke

    1. gruffyboy
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Mata

    2. sleecc
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Mata

      1. Townsends Tactics Truck
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'm surprised you say Mata. I feel like he's due a score. See Utd winning 3-0 against Wba

        1. gruffyboy
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          WBA fairly organized defence - and have you seen Man U's attack recently?

          1. Townsends Tactics Truck
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I hear you, it's just my gut feeling. I was swaying towards Ighalo or Lukaku tbh

            1. gruffyboy
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              They're both showing good form - but I know what you mean. Out of the 3 Mata's just shown the least recently that's all. Trust your gut though - I had Lukaku (c) last week until the last minute and went with Mane due to FFS feedback!

              1. Townsends Tactics Truck
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                I agree with what you're saying. Might be clutching at straws, but was hoping for a Mata goal, & maybe an assist aswell. I can see Leicester & Watford being 2-2, so Ighalo could be amongst the goals. Lukaku or Benteke imo will get a 1pter, it's just a matter of figuring out which.

    3. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Quite a simple decision you've got, then.

    4. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Mata imo.

      No Mata 😯

  6. gruffyboy

    Still got my WC - I guess the right time to play it is after Week 12 right?

    1. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes imo, no point in playing it now with the break coming up & Agüero still out. Unless your team is extremely dire & you can't put out an XI. Gw13-15 look good for the WC barring Agüero's injury being longer term.

      Mané ahead of Payet imo, if you don't feel comfortable, then ahead of Pellè considering his away form since he came to the PL tbh.

    Any one considering Wollsheid as a cheap bench fodder ?

    Started last 5 games and has 3 cs for only 4.3m (rotates will with Ward)

      Can't keep clean sheets though.

        Plus tough fixtures

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years

        Bench fodder, but if he's called to duty he should get more than Targett!

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

    Hi everyone, looking to settle my nerves a bit and get general opinion on my team, for this week and my proposed plans for the next few weeks.

    Current Team is:
    Cech / Ruddy (just cant justify using transfer to remove him though he never plays)
    Bellerin / Kolarov / VVD / Dier / Prodl
    Mahrez / DBruyne / Sanchez / Payet / Wijnaldum
    Bony / Pelle / Vardy

    Thinking of using AOA chip for this week, as Bellerin is likely out and dont fancy a tottenham cleanie against arsenal, and to be honest no idea who to bench from my attack after got burnt by Mahrez sitting there last week - Sound good to people?

    Then thinking of swapping Bellerin > Ward and Bony > Giroud with 2FT after international break.

    Longer term will be movign Kolarov out for Moreno/5m def and Sanchez -> Ozil (still dont feel good about this but need cash) to be able to do Pelle -> Aguero.

    Does this sound good or am I missing some more obvious changes that need to happen sooner, leaving Prodl and Ruddy to ride the bench at the minute while i work on my starters and hope the s*** doesnt hit the fan.

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Fine with using the chip. Get back to us during international break with proposed changes 🙂

      1. rookie manager
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers, I think I just needed to dump all of that stuff on paper to give my mind a rest - already planning my long term catch up on my leagues, but want to save FT but didnt want to miss any tricks this week.

        1. Walsh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Fair enough. Looks an easy save.

    2. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'd get rid of Kolarov before considering taking out Bellerin imo. He's arguably the best defnder right now, has great fixtures, is extrémely attacking & is under way less threat than Kolarov with Clichy in the midst. Bellerin's injury doesn't seem too serious & he still has the break to recover, unless Wenger states he's missing multiple GW's in his presser, then I don't see why you'd get rid tbh. Is it to afford Agüero?

      Good week to use AoA for your team though, I agree.

  16. Irish Madridista ⭐
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Would it be an idea to play AOA, benching Koscielny and playing Pelle?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      (other defenders are Francis and Coleman)

      1. Zasa
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hmm it's tough, two FB's with decent-ish defensive fixtures, but have better attacking fixtures mo facing (NEW) & (whu). Though both their respective team's defenses have been pretty abysmal, so playing Pelle vs an even worse defense is probably the more sensible with the higher ceiling.

        AoA sounds good, IM.

    2. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes that qualifies as an idea in my book.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Would it qualify as a good one? Or would ya just play the Frenchman?

        1. Walsh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I think it's a good one.

    3. rookie manager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty sure Im going for AOA, and Pelle is one of mine too, they did Sunderland over last year and Im hoping they will repeat the feat.

      Not sure would start Francis over Kosc though, think it will be similar situation to Bellerin, if he doesnt start he just wont play, but if he does he has better chance of points than Francis does.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        True, and I expect Southampton to win, but I think Mané is better suited to playing away at Sunderland than Pelle with his abysmal away form.

        Kosc vs Francis is a tough one but yeah I see Kosc playin 0 or 90, not a cameo.

        Still don't know about Kosc vs Pelle though.. Is the chip useful to hold onto?

    4. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm playing it this week, although Bellerin likely wont play! Sounds like a sensible idea to me!

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Would you do it if Bellerin was playing?

    Do you wish the premier league had more world class strikers?

    Lukaku, Pelle, Giroud, Benteke, Kane, Sakho.

    Even Vardy. Vardy?!

    Good players sure but wouldnt it be awesome to have Lewandowski at Liverpool or Zlatan at Spurs?

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Grass will always be greener...

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If I was a world class striker I would sack my agent if he suggested a move to Liverpool or Spurs.

    3. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Martial, Lukaku, Aguero, Benteke could all improve over the next 3 years if they stay fit (Kun)

    4. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Agreed, Aguero doesn't have enough competition

    5. 123thro
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, there doesn't seem to be all that many world class players in the Premier league nowadays. There's maybe 4 or 5?

      I'd say there's

      Aguero
      Sanchez
      Hazard
      Ozil
      Silva

      And then it's pretty thin on the ground. And, Bayern, Real Madrid and Barcelona all have around 5 world class players in their starting 11! It's crazy. Think a lot of Premier League clubs are now buying on potential rather than pedigree and experience.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        that's 1 striker

        1. 123thro
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, there's not may World class strikers in the Premier league, and in my opinion the premier league doesn't have many world class players in it nowadays either 🙂

    6. rookie manager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'd say there are only a handful of teams that have got better strikers than the ones in the PL, it is just they have a few of them each - but then look at the money they are throwing around for those players, and just the rougher ride they get in English league than they would in French/German/Spanish - not sure how many world class are in Italy at the moment, thats where we sending ones we dont want (Ballo/Jovetic/Dzeko/Gervinho)

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Higuain is immense, as is Dybala.

    7. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      not one person has even mentioned Diego Costa. Sure, he is my most hated player in the league and terribly out of form but there is no doubting his skill.

  19. Judas
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Im playing my AOA Chip this week and have 1 FT to optimise my defence, which combo is best?

    A: Butland + Monreal (save transfer)
    B: Butland + Van Dijk
    C: De Gea + Monreal

    (Would be dropping Muniesa for Van Dijk, Butland for DDG)

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      C

      1. Judas
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        this is what my gut is telling me

    2. rookie manager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Personally I would go for A and save the FT so you have 2 to play with after the international break, and the build up to Aguero match fitness starts.

      Sunderland are leaky at the moment but not bad attacking so no guarentee of a cleanie and DDG has got Wat/Lec/WHU next three after this week who are all on good form for a goal or two, so butland worth keeping for price difference. Add to the fact never know what will happen in a derby (especially north london one) and Monreal could come very good for you.

      1. Judas
        • 11 Years

        thanks for you help!

        Yes, do two independent ones with a group of friends every season. I'm stuck with the possibility of playing Diouf this week.

    Play Schmeichel(WAT) or Butland(CHE)?

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Butland

    2. Zasa

      Butland imo.

    3. Puyol Pants Up

      I'd actually play Schmeciel if I had the choice out of the two.

      I think both will concede, but think Chelsea have more chance of scoring two than Watford. Either way, I wouldn't be expecting big things from either mate, good luck! 🙂

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I think save points needs to be considered aswell -so far this season

        Butland - 46 saves
        Kasper - 33 saves

        1. 123thro
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, you're right on that one. From what I've seen though, Chelsea haven't really had all that much shots, and haven't been creating much at all (I could be wrong though). Anyways, not much in it at all mate, don't think it makes much difference (watch the goalie you bench save a pen, get a CS and make 16 saves now! haha 🙂 )

      Friday usually has press conferences. Sometimes it reveals injury news which could make a difference.

    Vardinho or Mahressi

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'd back your username. That said, I'd be looking elsewhere altogether..

      1. Vardinho
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Mahrez KDB Payet Sanchez

        Lukaku Pelle Vardinho

        what you reckon of those if not the leicester boys

        1. Walsh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I'd captain any of KDB, Alexis, or Pelle over one of the Leicester boys.

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Why's that?

            1. Walsh
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Mainly because of the feels. Also rate Watford defense.

    2. Dunny
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy for me, Fuchs back means Mahrez might be benched.

      1. Vardinho
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He is the Tinkerman, but still I think Mahrez is good to start, but stranger things have happened...

    3. 123thro
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Tough! Think Vardy has a better chance of scoring than Mahrez, but Mahrez has a better chance of scoring more points than Vardy. Just depends on what you're looking for in a captain, consistency or explosiveness? personally, I look for explosiveness, so out of the two I'd captain Mahrez. Good luck mate 🙂

      1. Vardinho
        • 9 Years

    Switching between Sanchez and Kane, one, then the other, and back again (in regards to captaincy)
    That Hot Topic + Home advantage were making me lean towards Alexis
    However, Diva's well-writen and informative article has changed my mind to captain Kane.

    Thoughts?

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Alexis for me.

    2. Nobodinho
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Neither for me, but if I have to pick one from them I'd say Alexis because I'm a gooner 😆

    3. Vardinho
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy 😉

  26. finchie89
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Current front 8 is

    Mané(sun) Payet(EVE) Sanchez(TOT) De Bruyne (avl) Ayew(nor)
    Ighalo(lei) Pellé(sun) Vardy(WAT)

    Thinking of benching ayew since he is not the inform player but sanchez has blanked in last 2 league games and didnt look good vs. bayern this week..

    any ideas?

    1. Vardinho
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Bench Ayew or transfer for cheaper option for less bench headaches in the future

  27. Dunny
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    With 2 fts in the bank,

    Ruddy > DDG
    Richards > Smalling, Rojo or Van Dijk???

    1. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Just the first one probably, rest of team?

      1. Dunny
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hennessy, Ruddy
        Bellerin, Kolarov, Cedric, Huth, Richards
        Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mahrez, Gosling
        Pelle, Bony, Vardy

        4.1 in the bank, but that's waiting for Aguero on my w/c

        1. Zasa
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I see, guess you could go for it considering your backline. Unless you have an AoA....

          1. Dunny
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

    2. Vardinho
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A double up on DDG and Smalling could be nice, United have looked so comfortable in defending and the style hey play, can;t see this changing much

      1. Dunny
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'm more than likely gunna double up, will just have to close me eyes an pick Smalling or Rojo on Saturday morning haha

    Hey guys,

    Are Simpson and Wollscheid nailed on defenders? Who'd you pick?
    Also, is Hennessy nailed on?

    Thanks in advance

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'd pick Simpson over Wollscheid. Seems to be reasonably nailed over de Laet. Wool shed I don't rate. Hennessey could be dropped after a bad game on any given week.

      1. bvb
        • 10 Years

    2. Nobodinho

      Simpson because he's cheaper

    3. Vardinho
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Who if your first choice keeper, because if you have someone like DDG or Cech then even if he does get dropped you're never even going to need to play him and he's sooo cheap

          Too many forwards firing. Of course if Ighalo is the spare forward you would be doing pretty well.
