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.

    My Payet C punt is going to work wonders when he bags a haul and everyone has him on their bench. He's the hub of the Hammers attack and playing support striker. Playing Everton defense too

    1. HammersFan
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      And can potentially see Mahrez blanking against a good watford defence now everyone has put him in the lineup and like you say payet on the bench.

      Ugh captains choice is so hard this week. Was on sanchez, then kane after Arse got all the injuries at the back,then sterling cause he looked good and plays villa, now back to sanchez. Have payet also and kdb. Might just have to roll a dice and be done with it haha

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years

      so who would you bench from this lot?

      Sanchez KDB Payet Mane Mahrez
      Lukaku Pelle Vardy

      fyi my GK is Howard who's playing Payet

      1. Your Mum Zohore
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Same here, not confident with Howard at all, only other option is Hennessey, and he plays Liverpool.

    3. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm playing Payet...but a part of me wants to play Coleman too.

    4. JasonG123
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      So many other good captain options though. Just playing him is enough I feel.

    5. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Payet is my vice. Ighalo is my captain

    Who is the guy who posts Liverpool's lineup regularly? Dave-something?

    Is everyone decided on their captain already? I am pretty unsure myself

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty much set. Going with Lukaku.

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

      Set. Sticking with Bony.

    3. ST United
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      KDB

    4. Pochecinno
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm pretty sure I'm sticking with Mahrez

    5. HammersFan
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Changed mine every day so far this week haha Sanchez, kane, sterling, kdb just cant decide

    Hi Folks,

    Is this front 8 strong enough to use the AOA chip for this weekend??

    Sanchez / Ayew / Payet / Winaldjum / KDB
    Pelle / Vardy / Lukaku

    FYI: Williams and Alderweirld would be the 2 defenders sitting it out!!

    Seems everyone's going AoA this week

    Here's my team: Butland (Ruddy)
    Cedric, Kolarov (Bellerin, Jenkinson, deadwood)
    Sanchez, Payet, DeBruyne, Mahrez and a 4.4 deadwood
    Pelle, Ighalo and Vardy

    2FT, 5.2ITB. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Since my AOA is gone, hoping for lots of CS.

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

        not excatly helpful but okay

    2. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      This week: Butland>De Gea

      Next week: Pelle>Aguero
      Jenkinson>Nyom

      perhaps

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

        so just one transfer this week then? Butland to Dave is a waste of transfer btw.

    3. Zasa
      • 9 Years

      Jenkinson to Moreno/Rojo, imo. Roll the other FT.

      1. wulffricc

        thanks

    4. JasonG123

      Get Moreno for Jenkinson/deadwood.

        I think Ozil's % goal involvement is a worthy stat too...65% or something

    3. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      What I learned:

      Debuchy is really, really bad.
      I should play Dawson over the more attractive defenders like Coleman.
      Eriksen is a great choice.
      Playing Begovic is 50/50. Could work with Stoke being poor.
      Newcastle are still awful.
      Liverpool have improved.
      Pelle is hard to bench. Using AOA instead.
      Bench Williams.
      Watford v Leicester will be close.
      Bellerin is a decent player to start.
      Kane is back?
      Koscielny the BAP man is back...gets too injured though
      Pelle is poor away but Sunderland are awful so he should be fine
      Lucas has massively improved Liverpool's defence
      Giroud is a decent option up front

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Leicester games have seen the most goals in the PL this season (42), while Watford games have seen the fewest (20).

        How does this conclude a close game? Could go either way.

        1. Klopp's Kids
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Close in score.

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

        Agree with most takeaways, Cap (bar the Lei vs Wat one) 🙂

        Btw, Kane's been back, his xG's been high all season nearly.

        1. Klopp's Kids
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yup. He's finishing his chances now though! He's been a bit unlucky up until now.

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

            Indeed!

            Also take a look at this, most open play passes in the danger zone. Arsenal dominate - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CS4AkoiXIAABR-_.png

            ManUnited have been involved in 3 out of 6 of the lowest totals for xG in games this season so far - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CS9RJHYWcAELlEq.png

            Chelsea's map of SoT conceded in the PL - 19th for xGA (expected goals against) - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CSuFEJ7WcAEWCFt.jpg

            Ighalo's sexy SoT map - 3.2 xG, 7 goals - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CS51yqPXIAEXVdZ.jpg:large

            1. Klopp's Kids
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Damn. Chelsea being 19th for xGA is mad.

              • 10 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              That Ighalo map is huge cause for concern

                • 9 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                We shall see 😉 I woudn't be so sure äbout that, I've been playing around with a long term xG simulator, looking at shots by probability, where you input xG values: Very interesting findings mate, I'll send you a text weón.

                  8 years, 7 months ago

                  could someone please explain what we can interpret about ighalo from this chart?

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

                    In the most basic interpretation, you can say 7 goals from 3.7 xG (expected goals) is over performing.

    4. Your Mum Zohore

    Going to repost this with a different audience. 1FT, 5.2m ITB. Team is:

    Myhill (Hennessey)
    Bellerin Janmaat VVD (Francis Mariappa)
    Sanchez KDB Payet Mahrez (Wanyama)
    Lukaka Pelle Vardy

    Which move?
    (A) Francis to Moreno (leaves me 0 playing bench players)
    (B) Francis to Rojo (leaves not enough in the bank to get Kun with 1FT + no playing bench players this week).
    (C) Mariappa to Simpson
    (D) Save (leaves me 0 bench playing players)

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      When in big doubt, save

    2. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      save imo

    3. TK74
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A

  9. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Guys this is my defence--->nyom,cresswell,alderweireld,francis,naughton.

    have a FT...whom should i bring as a 1 week punt in def?...right now i am thinking either of moreno/janmaat/berty..

    1. JasonG123
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Janmaat is under an injury cloud and his fixtures turn soon. Would probably go Moreno, seems such good value right now.

      1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        cheers mate...really wanted bellerin but maybe after the int. break..

  10. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Chances of Bellerin playing?

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Depends how much Call of Duty he plays tonight. Wenger better tuck him in early.

    2. TK74
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      25%

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'll play him and hope. I have an acceptable sub if not.

  11. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I know they've been in woeful form, but from next week onwards their next 6 games are:

    NOR, tot, BOU, lei, SUN, WAT

    Those teams are pretty woeful defensively as well - anyone considering bringing in a CHE player?

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      For e.g. Costa could be a decent filler prior to Kun's return

      1. TK74
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe Willian

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

      I'd only consider bringing in their best player thus far, Willian. Relatively risk free as well considering he's only 6.8 & is an easy swap to other options in that range if his form drops/injury. Definitely wouldn't consider any of their overpriced attackers yet though.

      1. TK74
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah I am considering Willian to Ayew

      2. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, they all look horribly overpriced at the moment. I do expect CHE to turn it around at some point though, and 5 of those 6 are superb fixtures from an attacking sense.

    3. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping Begovic but they have to show a slight glimpse of form before I consider them

    4. Bare bones
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not until Jose is gone

    5. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I got Willian 2 or 3 GWs back, he seems to be involved in anything good they do atm.

  12. Bare bones
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Start Ruddy (SWNS) or Butland (CHE) ?

    1. Orticker
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Butland

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

      Latter imo.

    3. Burning Plastic
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ruddy

    4. Just A Hat

    so hard to decide!! Need help on
    whom to bench from

    Ozil Sanchez KDB Mahrez Payet
    Vardy Ighalo Pelle

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

      Play All out attack.

      1. Orticker
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Sadly..that has already been used..

        1. Bare bones
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Igalo

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

            Yup Ighalo then. But Lei have not been that tight in defense though.

    2. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      when this situation comes...just bench one of your double ups...in this case bench one out of ozil/sanchez/mahrez/vardy....because this will atleast give you a chance to play other players who have a good fixture..imo..

      1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        play safe and spread the points imo.....

    3. Just A Hat

      which ever player has the lowest ownership

      1. jace_nooch
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        played all out attack last week against a mate he used bench boost.

        I like the idea of benching one of the double ups, which do you suggest? preferably a midfield player. leaning towards Ozil as he is most likely to assist then score and Igalo most likely score then assist and fixture has a lot to do with the decision. Spurs have a great defence this year.

        Thanks lads

    Can only have one this week. Rojo or Moreno.

    Which one to get? I probably end up getting Moreno over next 2-3 gws so should I do it now or wait till their fixtures ease up?

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

      I think Rojo has a higher possibility to get a CS than Moreno for this GW.

        Hi Spud, my back went bonkers and I couldn't sit again for hours. 😆

        Other than that fine thanks, trying to sell loads of my old stock to make space.

        I missed your reply, I trust you are fit and fine?

          The second line was just meant to indicate that I'm busy, nothing to do with comfort in moving the stock. 🙄 Good grief that reads badly.
          I can't even make sense in print now, there is no hope.

              Not anymore. 🙂

              No, pictures, antiques and an odd collectable here and there.
              An old friend was off to do an antique fair for a couple of days this week so I tagged along for it and moved a few bits.
              Nearly killed me, but fun to be out and about amongst it again.

                Oh yes, remember you mentioning you were polishing things. I read about the chipped Chinese Vase that was sold for 100k at an auction!

                  My bits are not in that price bracket. Mores the pity, but then most aren't chipped either, maybe that's the trick I have to break a few.

                  There's my mistake, I usually chuck out anything I break when I should just put the price up. 😉

                      Though sometimes it is just nice to be your own self again.

                      I'm off, another hour's kip with a bit of luck or morning news just to my blood pressure back up to where a nurse makes you sit down while they rush off for a doctor. (Always makes me laugh that).

    Aaaargh, who to bench out of my front 8?

    A - Sanchez
    B - Payet
    C - KDB
    D - Mahrez
    E - Mane
    F - Pelle
    G - Vardy
    H - Lukaku

    Currently thinking Pelle or even Sanchez. I'll check AGS odds later. Need Kun back!

    Cheers

      Lukaku or Payet as you wouldn't know what way that game will go

    Help needed lads...have had a bad few weeks with injuries/bad transfers and ended up with this lot.

    1FT 0.4m ITB
    Begovic (McCarthy)
    Kolarov Naughton Moreno (Evans Targett)
    Sanchez Mahrez KDB Yaya Coutinho
    Gomis Pelle (Sakho)

    Need to sort out frontline, any advice? Want to rid of Gomis & Sakho for weeks but had injuries to address. Should I save the FT this week before the international break or just get rid of one of them?

  26. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    My Rival told me he sold Sanchez. The impatience is unreal.

    He sold Sanchez couple of weeks before his hattrick against leicester then bought him back and now again sold him due to two blanks for Ozil

  27. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    For next GW

    Should I play my AOA chip with this team

    Lloris

    Sagna Naughton

    Mahrez Sanchez KDB Mane Payet

    Pelle Vardy Kane

    or

    3-4-3 with this team

    Lloris

    Sagna Naughton Nyom

    Mahrez Sanchez KDB Mane

    Pelle Vardy Kane

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      What you're really asking is will Payet outpoint Nyom and by how much? Then, is that margin worth the AOA? My guess is it should be valued at 4pts+. After all you wouldn't play an AOA if you thought your 3rd def would get a c/s would you? Will Payet outpoint Nyom by at least 4pts? I think he will.
