The ScoutCast – Episode 175 – Rivals

It’s time to turn up the heat on Granville. After Harry Kane obliged with a 26-point armband return, I’ve clawed back the gap on my mancunian rival, who now sits just three points ahead in our “very personal” battle.

With the flame lit on our age-old duel, the ScoutCast is revived to resemble the days gone by, with Granville wriggling uncomfortably as we spar throughout. Jonty is on hand to mediate, taking a few blows of his own, with Granville lashing out blindly.

Around the melee, we take in another round of “rough with the smooth” and digest a slew of community questions. We chat Aguero Vs Kane, consider the merits of showing Sanchez and De Bruyne the door, and scribe our Christmas Fantasy Football wishlist.

This episode was first aired via our YouTube channel on Tuesday evening. You can view the unedited Google Hangout in the larger player below, or treat yourself to the buffed-up audio version via this link or the smaller player.

          At least last season DDG was getting a lot of saves but this season ? Not so much...much rather have Rojo who has Bonus Points Potential . Also , I would prefer Hennesey over Darlow because -

          1.Darlow is not nailed

                Yeah I'm pleased to say we've been very good, the issue is that, unlike Lukaku, attacks can bypass Barkley from an FPL perspective (as we saw against Sunderland - 6 goals and no involvement).

            Well I also have Moreno, Alde and Bellerin. My thinking is GW17 onwards for WBA, which is also when Bellerin's fixtures turn. I could just do Bellerin to Dawson then I suppose.

                The problem is that I'm not sure where to boost. Coutinho is the only midfielder I can see that's better than Lanzini/Barkley, and he'd still be out of reach. Rest of my team (ignoring slots above):

                Alde/Moreno/Nyom
                Sanchez/Ozil/Mahrez/Gosling
                Aguero/Kane/Lukaku

        Cool, I'll keep an ear out in the presesrs then, but Klopp doesn't seem to be saying much about Cout.. We shall see.

        Sanchez has amazing fixtures, but so does Coutinho and he's so much cheaper..
        Allows Vardy -> Kane if needed too.

    The core of my team is:
    3 Arsenal
    3 Man City
    3 Leicester
    (Stoke/Swans/Pool/AV/Everton)

    I know we talk a lot about 'coverage' on here but does anyone feel 2 of any team is enough as if a result does go pear shaped it's highly likely you are looking at a drop in rank,
    Compounded if say Leicester/Arsenal were to lose and not score this week is be in real trouble,

    What are players thoughts on 'overloading' or do guys really even factor it in?

      I do it, it leads to some very disappointing weeks, especially when City / Arsenal blank and you've loaded up on them, but it can also lead to some amazing weeks, I think it works out for the best providing you pick the right players from those teams.

      I don't really worry about overloading if the team has good fixtures. But when the fixtures turn I would likely lose 1 or even 2 from a team.

      I feel like coverage is a bit of a cloud castle. As in, it shouldn't be a goal in itself. It should be an indirect effect of dipping into the cheaper options, who often aren't on the most expensive teams. With the added bonus of increasing the BP potential. And having guys in more TV games

      One result going badly means nothing; that's always going to be the consequence of having more from the same team (high variance). The problem is when form is lost, and you may have to make many transfers to accomodate. For example, doubling up on Chelsea defence at the beginning of the season would have taken some work to fix

    For a two week punt Benteke interests me, with Sturridge and Coutinho doubts surely he'll start this week and done his chances no harm with the goal last night?

        fornaroli is immense, probably same way brattan goes, City signs him and he goes on loan to the championship

          Mooy is better than brattan IMO. better than luongo too. He is more classy and has that x factor.

            100% agree, luongo is a few years younger and i think he will be really good for socceroos longterm as well though

    Biggest coach moment this GW?
    A White Hart Line without Kane
    B Etihad without Kun

    Chelsea better shape up, is what I'm saying

        I have Kane/Vardy, hoping Luk burns out at some point on the goal front..

    Did anyone watch Tottenham last night How did Kane look?

    I assume he didn't pick up any visible knocks or anything?
