The ScoutCast – Episode 176 – Phoenix

Having spent the season clutching to the coattails of both Granville and Jonty, finally, like a magnificent phoenix rising from the flames, I’ve caught and surpassed them both.

In truth, my season is anything but “magnificent” and the recent struggles of my ScoutCast co-hosts, as they plunge to my depths, is the main reason behind the recent mini-league manoeuvrings.

With a level playing field established, the three of us skim through another set of “Rough with the Smooth” Gameweek tales from the community, before bracing ourselves for another batch of topics steered by your good selves.

You have us talking Sanchez exit plans, discussing the “desperate” route back to Hazard and contemplating Christmas rearguards. Plus we’ve a couple of old ScoutCast favourites who, like my season, rise up from the ashes to discover a new lease of life.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first aired via our YouTube channel on Tuesday evening. You can view the full Google Hangout version via the larger player below, or treat yourself to the more cultured audio cut via this link or the smaller player below.

    God, I don't log on here all week and then find everybody after Hazard? WTF?

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Bournemouth and Sanchez are to blame for it

    2. Backup Dancer

      Don't join the train, it'll only end in tears. Can't say I wasn't tempted though.

      1. Four Four Boyz
        • 11 Years

        Sage advice!

      Crazy isn't it

      1. Four Four Boyz

        8 years, 6 months ago

        Completely bonkers. I will not be touching him with a barge pole until Chelsea look even a shadow of their former selves.

    Who to bench?

    Moreno (new)
    VVD (AVL)
    Zouma (BOU)
    Darmian (WHU)

    Thanks.

    1. Helia
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      darmian or zouma

    2. gannyali
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Zouma (BOU are in form and cant see a CS)

      1. DOG GOD IT - KEANE 15
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        The question is are you willing to take a 1/2/3* week punt before he inevitably gets injured again

        * delete where applicable

        1. gannyali
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          I strongly feel Chelsea will conceed

    3. MedC
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers. Yeah, planned to bench Darmian but I can see a CS against West Ham and Bournemouth do look more likely to score...

  3. Helia
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    so is Sturridge fit now? would anyone bring him in?

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      People are, I wouldn't touch him yet though.

    2. TorresMagic™

      Sturridge and fit 😆

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        oxymoron

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      If you want to have a heart attack an hour before every pool match

    4. Bobbydhino - ⚒ Saint Slav…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Didnt he just limp off yesterday?

  4. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Coutinho is fit?

    Sterling to Coutinho and captain him

    Yes or No?

    1. gannyali
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Wait till Liverpool Press Conference tomorrow

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, it´s better, thanks. 🙂

  5. That Fantasy Guy

    Sanchez likely to drop tonight or can I hold off another day?

    1. gannyali
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He has already dropped 0.2 and can drop 0.1........ All it needs is 6235 transfer outs

      1. gannyali
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Now it is at 4933 transfers out........ 1302 have transferred him out in 17 mins....

    2. TorresMagic™

            • 9 Years

            Still deciding I guess? lol

    3. Still Unsure
        8 years, 6 months ago

        He'll probably drop tonight

      • Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        You can always wait. But he'll still probably drop.

      • RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        what are you waiting for, exactly?

        1. BadgersBoys
          • 10 Years

          This

        2. Frank Black
          • 11 Years

          Coutinho.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Ahh ok

      • Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        He is - 89.7 at the min . Anything about 90 and you are taking a big risk . The deadline is at 01:12

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Tbf, it's 0.1m so not a big risk.

      Reposting

      What do you think of the team http://imgur.com/wYhctBm

      Done with 1 FT. Planning to go for Willian + Giroud ----------- > Deeney + Hazard

      Any suggestions

        Posting your team over a screenshot will get more replies.
        I'd stay with that side.

          Thanks Mate !!!

      2. Tansey
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Wij and Giroud -> Barkley and Kane/Ighalo

        1. gannyali
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Hmmm............ Interesting............ !!!

      3. I Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Not a big fan of those moves unless you REALLY want to captain Hazard. Willian and Giroud could both score well this weekend while Deeney's fixtures take a turn for the worse soon.

        1. gannyali
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Hoping this is the turn around for Hazard (c)

      FPLStats is now quite annoying. Why did they mess up their site?

      1. Ziro Becomes One
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        It is fine. Anything wrong?

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Prices and ownership now less obvious. Can't sort by ownership.

    7. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Ayew > Couthino (if fit) for a hit?

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Not this week

      2. Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Don't know if it's worth a hit.

      3. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        A bit of a risk given that he wasn't even on the bench last night

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks! I'll probably wait and see what happens. Leicester has conceded plenty. Who knows maybe Haz turns out to be the one to get after all.

      4. Frank Black
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Keep Ayew against Leicester.

      5. Özilla Firefox
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yes Hattrick imminent

    8. Amarea
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Evening all :D!

      Help a lass out with a benching headache?

      Monreal, Kolarov, Toby, VVD (Martin)

      I usually play 3 at the back, but this is the first week I've had a feasible backplane to choose from (previously had Francis rather than Toby). I've been going round in les for days trying to decide. Front 8 of:

      Ozil, Mahrez, KDB, Barkley (Alli)
      Aguero, Vardy, Ighalo

      All suggestions very much appreciated! I'm trying to climb out of the bottom half of my ML, due to a slow start.

      1. Amarea
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Goddamn autocorrect "reasonable back line"

        1. DOG GOD IT - KEANE 15
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Play mon kol and vvd with toby as 1st sub ...

          If aguero doesnt play, he comes in

      2. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I would bench Mahrez

      3. BadgersBoys
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Probably have to go with Toby.. No wait.. VVD!.. no wait.. Kolarov.......
        I see what you mean.

        1. Amarea
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Indeed, and if I'm honest, decision making is really not my strongest attribute!

      4. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe drop Kolarov, you csnt bench those attackers

      5. A.T
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I'd bench Kolorov myself.

      6. Ayew Serious
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        You're that newbie from the other night, aren't you

        Hello 🙂

        I'd bench VvD

        1. Amarea
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Indeed, we'll remembered :D! Trying to make an effort to post rather than just sitting back and watching!

          1. Ayew Serious
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Good stuff, as I'm sure you know from your lurking I love to be involved

            Good luck climbing the ML

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

        Mahrez for me from a game theory perspective

        1. Amarea
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          I know very little of game theory. My current tactic Is pretty much going with what appears to be majority opinion on here! I should probably do better at research.

      8. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I'd bench Kolarov.

      9. Amarea
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks all! I was leaning that way, but Arsenal's injury issues were making me have second thoughts.

        1. Amarea
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Kolarov, I mean. Although I'll still probably be spinning g on the spot until deadline. Did that with my captain last week, so now it's defences turn!

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

      I keep thinking my season can't get any worse then I realise I could well be playing 2 Newcastle defenders this week.
      Skills

      1. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Oh dear

        Was there drink involved

        1. Rhinos
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Nope. Janmaat was a good pick at the time and Elliot my reserve but have Begovic and Aguero

          1. Syd.
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            When is Courtois due back

            1. Rhinos
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              This week apparently

              1. Syd.
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                Oh dear I have Begovic and McCarthy

                Will need to get that one sorted out

      2. LouieM97
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Sounds rough pal!
        On a RL basis though, what do you think about your business so far, think you will struggle without Sir Kev and Peacock! (Wire fan) I'm not too convinced we have done enough to be challenging! Seems like no real ambition with the type of signings we are making!

        1. Rhinos
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Not really kept up to date with off season stuff to be honest, we will surely struggle losing all those players though, need to find a kicker for a start

    10. Lizard Lips
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Ronka is in no rush to get Kane or Aguero this week or ditch YYT, Some lessons to be learnt from the GOAT.

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Who?

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Not in a rush to chase 1 and 2 points from last GW.

        1. Lizard Lips
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Fair point!!!

      3. Zasa
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        He has enough funds ITB now to do Pellè to Agüero next week, other FT would need to be used to takeout a City player.

        1. Lizard Lips
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Looks like he is primed to go Kun, he might just go Kane, time will tell! Gone with a strong 5 man midfield too. Food for thought!

          1. Zasa
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Aye, he probably has some war scars from Christmas rotation 😉 Wondering how the Ritchie pick will turn out.

    11. DwarfKing
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Will Aguero play?

      1. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Most likely but we should find out tomorrow

      2. Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        "Yes" - Pellè

    12. Four Four Boyz
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Best Bournemouth midfielder? King?

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Stanislas on set pieces from left flank if that floats your boat

        1. Four Four Boyz
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Reckon he starts most games? 4.2 is slightly ridiculous cost wise

          1. RubeRx
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            tough to bench someone who just scored a brace for you....

        2. A.T
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          But is he nailed on?

          1. Sess!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Came in when pugh got injured so will have competition when he's back.

      2. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yes

      3. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Gosling stats are surprisingly impressive.

    13. Manani
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      sanchez>coutinho/barkley,
      francis/bassong>moreno

      2FT

      which one should I choose?

      @Andy.

      Food for thought re UFPL (c) pick and the need for Aguero...or not...This week is a good example.

      MD1 you can have (c) Kane away to WBA or Ozil (c) at home to Sunderland
      if that fails
      MD2 you can move (c) > Coutinho away to Newcastle
      if that fails
      MD3 you can move (c) > Lukaku at home to CPL

        Ive gone without aguero in my december selection. Looking at something like the above for week 1 captains although maybe Sturridge MD2!

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Aye. He looks primed to return for that fixture. All the city picks could be a problem in Dec with so many games.

            • 9 Years

            allows so much better balanced team and multi day options if you dont stick him in. Probably miss a 60 point c haul at some point though......

            1. Dr Dream
              • 11 Years

              That's the danger. In UFPL we need to aim for 80-100pts per week. That's a big ask with reduced quality subs in...even if Aguero does get good pts.

      This Hazard thing, I don't get it. Can anybody convince me that he's a good pick?

      I mean obviously he's a proven excellent player with great fixtures. I can also afford to take a punt on him for a few weeks, so in theory I'd love to bring him in.

      I just don't see it though. He is playing better but he's still not back to his best. The rest of his teammates still look weak in attack and he's depending on them to put away whatever he creates. He has good fixtures but his fixtures over the last few weeks haven't exactly been terrible either. So why think he's suddenly going to explode now?

      When Sanchez exploded he really was due in terms of the shots he had been getting away, when Aguero exploded it was a case of a brilliant player suddenly hitting form in a team that had been playing well anyway. I don't see anything to suggest Hazard is in a similar position.

      Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

      2. Still Unsure
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Can't give you much more than what you've said. I just like him as an option. Call it a gut feel.
          He's improved hugely last three games. Chelsea are improving. Bournemouth at home is a great fixture.

          That's it, really. You have to ignore the stats in this one, I'm afraid.

          Good points. May have solved my dilemma. I think it's just some hope for players like me trying to climb leagues and hoping he explodes as a differential to what the mainstream will be picking to replace sanchez with

        • Bøwstring The Carp
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          KDB, Sanchez, King, Stanislas, Ighalo, Bolasie, Deulofeu were all due last week and delivered. Of these, Cabaye, Gosling, Willian and Hazard were also due but failed to deliver

          Hazard is due in both goals and assists, playing in a possible OOP role.

          Bournemouth are a shambles, Hazard is a differential. I expect him to deliver but on the flip side he could fail.

          It's a calculated risk

          1. sully29
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            A) The OOP thing was temporary afaik?

            B) If I was buying him I'd certainly hope to see him moved back into his normal position as I strongly suspect he's more effective there.

            C) I haven't looked at the stats myself but from what others have said it doesn't sound like an explosion is imminent? I know he's on Jonty's assists imminent table but that relies on his teammates actually finding the form to put those opportunities away and from what I've read his shooting stats are ordinary?

            1. Still Unsure
                8 years, 6 months ago

                As I said above though, you have to ignore the stats on this one. Sometimes watching the games and seeing players is worth more, and he's looked good enough last couple to be worth a punt at home to Bournemouth. Of course he could fail, but that's the risk. Could be a huge green though if it pays off.

              • Still Unsure
                  8 years, 6 months ago

                  Plus, if Lloris doesn't make that wonder save last week, everyone on here would be buying Hazard in droves.

              "I mean obviously he's a proven excellent player with great fixtures"

              You're not missing anything. You just need to re-read again your own post.

                This isn't the first time this season he's been a proven excellent player with quality fixtures though, it's not like his fixtures have been awful the whole time up to now. All that's changed is a few glimmers of form and the fact that people suddenly have 11m to burn on someone.

                Fixtures weren't the cause of Hazard's struggles so why would they suddenly be the solution?

                  Because he actually played better in last few games & finally looking like scoring some points. Is there any theory that if a player fails to impress in 1st 14 weeks he's doomed for rest of the season? Players/teams lose and gain form all the time.. He & his team are finally putting up some decent performances. People who are buying Hazard are aware of the fact he hasn't been very good this season, they are simply predicting that fortunes will change over the next set of fixtures which are obviously quite easy on paper & perfect plethora for out-of form classy players to come into life.

              you're not missing anything.. basically there are people who see the next 4 fixtures for chelsea as a possible time for them to get some wins goals and better performances under their belt.. those same people i assume are attempting to anticipate returns from Hazard rather than wait til he explodes then jump on the bandwagon at the same time as every other tom dick and harry.. there are another and much larger group of people who dont have the balls to take the punt and will instead bash the idea of a player who has scored 200 odd points the last 3 seasons scoring a goal or 2 against bournemouth..

                Just pulled the trigger on Sanchez to Hazard and am happy. Can't explain it... Didn't want another price drop with Sanchez tonight and have analysed the replacements, Coutinho (injury doubt for this weekend), Barkely (already have Lukaku and don't want to double up on Everton), Bolaise etc. Hazard is a better quality player than all of these, yes he/chelse are out of form but he has a proven track record, good fixtures, Chelsea are beginning to improve. Think it is time to get Hazard in before he delivers the points. It is not scientific or stats based, but just going with my FF gut 🙂

              Last dilemma as everyone is probably dealing with sanchez to....
              My team is..
              Myhill - ruddy
              Kompany - Francis - smalling - Williams - van dijk
              Westwood - coutinho - Sánchez - mahrez - bolasie
              Aguero - vardy - Lukaku

              Sanchez and williams to
              A. Hazard and moreno -4
              B. De bruyne and moreno -4
              C. Ozil and moreno -4
              I'm considering hazard for midterm just to catch up a bit in my kdb is on form and possible long term pick. Ozil not 1 to be exciting but he could do well with arsenal a injury situation. Too many thoughts in my head.

                  I would do but also have Hazard and it's on tv

                I think last season is still on your mind..

              Is Ali for Spurs nailed and a decent budget fifth mid in your opinion?

                8 years, 6 months ago

                Yeah.

                  yep if you dont mind spending a little more on your 5th mid than absolute bench fodder. Ive gone for him and think he could come into his own over xmas

                  1. Helia
                    • 8 Years
                    8 years, 6 months ago

                    would rather him over stanislas for bournmouth?

                Not this week.

                8 years, 6 months ago

                No...not nailed at all. Spurs now have choices to make with players returning. Eriksen or Kane are the safest until we know the outcome.

                He seems to be holding down his place in the team

                1. Dr Dream
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 6 months ago

                  Chadli closing in on a return and Son returned last week..I'm not sure who goes where when they are all fit.

                8 years, 6 months ago

                No Spurs have got so many options when everyone fit. Could keep his place though the way he's been playing

                1. Dr Dream
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 6 months ago

                  He's a great player. Chadli is the one I don't like. He's ok going forward but a bit rubbish at the other side of the game. Alli is better, but it's what Poch thinks that matters.

                  1. Zizoulicious
                    • 8 Years
                    8 years, 6 months ago

                    Yup, I also think he should keep his place, but doesn't mean Poch will

                • 9 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                I think he is nailed. He is one of the main reasons Spurs are playing so well this season

              9. Nails on chalkboard
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                How about going Pedro? He was a very popular pick initially, and now down to 8.9. 2 mill cheaper than Hazard, and poses nearly as good stats if you count his time in Barcelona... Crazy? How was he against Spurs?

            12. Iinvin

              Who shall I bring in for Sanchez before his price drop tonight :

              A) Firmino
              B) Mata
              C) Silva
              D) Coutinho
              E) Deulofeo
              F) Hazard

              Already have Barkley, ozil, kdb, mahrez

                That's most people's conundrum this week

                • 9 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                IMO ------ A (in form)

                1. Rhinos
                  • 10 Years
                  8 years, 6 months ago

                  G) Mane

              3. Helia
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                my first pick would be coutinho if fit or Silva

            13. Lizard Lips
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              (A) KDB
              (B) Coutinho
              (C) Barkley
              (D) Hazard

              Tough decision.

              1. Helia
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                thats probably the order id pick them. maybe coutinho first though if fit

                I'm tempted to bench Sanchez myself. He's gonna troll and be back next week...

                    How soon next week would you be able to sell? Have to take into account how much he'll have fallen by the end of next week.

                      I'll have 0.1 spare. Would make the transfer early.

                I would sell as there is big potential points elsewhere. Who are you thinking of bringing in for sanchez?

                Why so hesitant to sell? He is in Chile for crying out loud. Expect 3-4 weeks minimum.

                We will have plenty of FTs over December to bring him back in if necessary and even then I'm not sure I will.

                You know I'm one of the biggest Alexis fans on these boards, but he is just not hitting value this season.
