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.

      Rojo is crocked and Saints have not been very solid at the back so Rojo n Bertie could both go

      guess your'e keeping money for Aguero

      What is the actual diameter of Berbinho's forehead?

      Rojo out for how long?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Last time he had this injury he was out for 4 weeks. So that's my guess

      If you had nothing to eat in the kitchen, would you choose:

      A) Peas and Toast
      B) Toast sandwich - Basically involves 2 pieces of bread and a slice of toast in between(no butter)

        B

        1. BadgersBoys

          Thought so. Thanks.

      Why is Milner not nailed for Liverpool

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Henderson & Can are better. Lucas sits deepest until Klopp signs a midfielder.

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

          Problem is, neither of them does what Blaszczykowski used to do at Borussia, which is exactly what Klopp wants from Milner. And also, isn't Can suspended?

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Klopp seems to be using a 4321 at the minute. Henderson could be used as the midfielder runner on the right, he's far more rounded than Milner anyway

            Yes, Can is suspended. Milner is just not nailed when all midfielders are available, imo

      With money on the line, who is more likely to be involved multiple goals this weekend?

      Vardy, Kane, Hazard or Giroud?

      How would you rank Liverpool's managers since Evans in terms of quality?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Great question

        Rafa, Houllier, Dalglish, Rodgers, Hodgson.

        Pretty sure Klopp will top them without a problem

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

          When Benitez is at the top of the list you know the club has some problems.

    Kane(c) anyone? West brom seem to concede all of their goals at home. Shipped three to man city, chelsea, everton and leicester.

    1. Slam
      • 8 Years

      He's my captain

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

        I'm strongly considering it. West Brom only kept two CSs at home and four out of their seven home games they've shipped three goals.

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

          Aye,
          + Kane's blank vs Chelsea doesn't mean he's out of form.

          1. Sess!

        Haven't seen it mentioned much around here but appreciate it's only a small percentage of the total FPL player.

    3. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Will probably go Lukaku instead but tempting.

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

        Yeah MNF is tempting but palace don't seem to concede more than one goal a game and are usually better away (albeit everton have been scoring well at home). Check Palace's history this season.

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        More popular than I thought. Nice.

  6. reekster
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Oh gawd, I've got transfer paralysis. And bad.
    Any, and I mean ANY, suggestions would be most welcome.

    Currently...

    Ruddy (McCarthy)
    Simpson Azpi Kolarov Moreno Francis
    Mané Sanchez KDB Özil Mahrez
    Vardy Ighalo Lukaku

    2ft and 1.6 itb

    Keepers obviously need sorted. I'm happy to keep Ruddy but need a reliable first choice.
    Lloris? Courtois?

    Francis and probably Kolarov too will need addressed.
    A spurs defender plus perhaps a Sunderland regular. Or wait for Kompany?

    Most pressing, Sanchez has to go but for who?!

    Do I go for a cheapie to rotate with Mahrez ie - Alli or Morrison?
    That allows me to look ahead for when Chelsea/ManU pick up offensively.
    Or go bigger now ie - Erikson or Coutinho?

    Looking further ahead Mané will go after this week and Ighalo once Watford's fixtures stiffen.
    So another midfield slot will open up!

    Plus, I'd hope to end up with Kane and/or Sturridge and/or Kun in there.

    My head's burst...

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

      Your defence is fine for the moment. Francis needs to go but not a priority.

      Get mccarthy out this week. Lloris not a bad shout.

      Next week sort sanchez and mane out. I'd get coutinho and a cheap 5th mid like gosling, stanilas, king, and then upgrade vardy/ighalo to kane/aguero in a week or two.

      1. reekster
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers, Sess.
        Calm, reasoned counsel.
        Just what I needed.

    What are people making of the Sanchez situation..
    Those who still have him..

    Are ye still going to hold ?

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

      They're all selling.

    2. Efan Ekoku Pops
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Selling for either Hazard or Coutinho. Need another day to decide.

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

      Didn't really plan to.
      But unfortunately am losing 0.2 SV and benching him this week.

      I just couldn't bench any of my 7 playing attackers this week + I could re-assess after the weekend for a replacement

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Just after selling for hazard.

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

      Sanchez -91.9 FPL Stats .......... So selling is better

    6. Super Tim Cahill
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      he's obviously a sell, just need to decide who to.

      I've decided losing .1 is better than gambling on Coutinho being fit (my 5th mid is Westwood) so I'm waiting for now.

      Fingers crossed he doesn't drop in 90 minutes time of course..

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

        3808 more transfer outs to drop 0.1

  8. FrankieTheGent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Will Firmino start?

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

      Likely.

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

      Tough one. I'd say yes.

  9. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Bench one
    Azpi Moreno vvd kolarov or mahrez

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Moreno

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years

      Ouch. Maybe Azpi.

    3. Sess!

    the art of do nothing?
    this season i've looked at reducing my transfers to a minimum-13 so far
    previously i've been keen on following trends and taking hits
    i'm @ 50 k which is good for me -still have a front 8 of
    ozil mahrez barkley mata tadic
    luka vardy kane

    Anyone else having a good season doing nothing?

    5. Super Tim Cahill
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      That's always my plan, don't make a transfer unless it improves the team. It is always amusing holding onto a good player who has had a couple of blanks, then watching the fire sales and then the mad scramble to get him back. Eg KDB lately, Payet earlier in the year.

      A lot of injuries this season has meant I have made 15 transfers once I transfer out Sanchez this week. 6 for injuries/suspension though.

      OR 8k

      Aye..Gathering pace.

      Do you use just the one team Innsie or are you gambling with a new team each month ?

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Been using the one team so far but I've just made another team which I'll use to go for the monthly prizes.

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

          Same as me then. May as well if you can spare the fiver.

          Not quite so many injuries to the highest % picks this month makes it a tad harder though.

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            I think the fact that there are 5 GWs in December works in our favour.

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      You joining Tony's league?

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Aye, I'll join now.

    3. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I wish they would let me play.

      Long time no see

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Howdy Ruberx.

      With 8 red flagged players I have no choice than to make loans to get a team out

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

        Yeah, they really need to sort out that missing piece of the jigsaw. My son packed up because it became a non starter due to injuries.

        Not sure what they change but they run the risk of people packing up and not playing again.

        1. Spike ⚽️
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          I keep going because I like to compete but it is difficult when you run out of top players. Great news about your son's 18th. Love a happy story like that 🙂

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

            Thanks Spike.

            The loans are actually a great idea but they only work as long as your squad is manageable...in fact they improve your score dramatically if you get them right. As soon as you get to the number of injuries you have (or indeed out of favour players) then you have no chance. Too much luck involved in that part to make it a viable game for everybody who started in GW1.

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          International break transfer windows would be great IMO! Maybe 4 transfers per break or something.

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

            They have to do something. I'm sure they shouldn't be wanting players to be in Spikes position.

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

    All these long posts debating Sanchez replacements, I just went who sucks? Villa. Who they playing? Saints. Mane it is then.
    Mind I am just clinging on to the top 2million

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      nah mane is way too inconsistent, much better options out there

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

      And after Villa...

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

        Hopefully he'll have too many points to drop

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

      Mane will score big only when I sell him.

    4. Eoin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not Mane. Ozil, KDB and Coutinho should be first choice. Have all three? Ignore price bracket and go Barkley.

    I want to get lukaku next week but out of theses 2 who to take out ?
    1.Vardy
    2.Kane

      vards-the party's over

    2. Richd

      Kane obviously!!

      1. Slam

        … explain

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Vardy plays for the more attacking team and in the best form in the league !

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kane

    4. Slam
      • 8 Years

      None atm

    5. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Of the two, definitely Vardy.

      1. Littlefish92

    Mmmmmmm. Toast sandwich

    1. Zizoulicious

      Only with tomato sauce

      1. BadgersBoys
        • 10 Years

        Have none Zidane. Don't even have butter

        1. Zizoulicious
          • 8 Years

          Nightmare! Gues nothing like a banana then to go in the sarnie either

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

            I wish! 2xpieces of dry bread and a piece of toast in between. Washed down with a nice glass of tap water though.

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

      A slice of toast in two slices of bread? Student?

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

        Correct. Former student.. And extremely lazy.

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

          Was that or peas on toast. Had to wash a bowl to heat the peas though.

          1. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years

            Mushy peas on toast actually sounds quite nice

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

              works with a bit of gravy.. but that's a lot of effort. Might as well go and get some chips

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

            Peas on toast. Like the cold war version of beans on toast.

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

              yep. You should try it. Its stinkin.

            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            You need to keep a few tins of sainsbury's basics rice pudding in the cupboard. Eat straight from the tin and then discard.

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

              Noted! Stockpile for the weekend..

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Lolly sandwich?

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

        Too late. Would play havoc with my stomach overnight.. 🙂

    4. Super Tim Cahill
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I used to just go with plain old bread sandwiches back in the day when I was a student. Those were the days..

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

        Nearly stooped to that level a few times. Couldn't bring myself to do it.
        Kept telling myself it was just a piece of bread really.

        1. Super Tim Cahill
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          the key for me was to rip the crusts off, roll it up into a ball and eat it in one bite.

          strangely, I always had money for beer though...

  16. Mr.Bojangoals
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone know if Courtois is coming in this weekend? Cant' seem to find any definite news.

  17. Aleks Krosserov
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Will Memphis and Yaya start and who be best choice out of the 2?

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

      I think yes. And Memphis may be an exciting punt.

    2. Eoin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Don't like either. Maybe Memphis is the better pick in light of fixture.

      Yes, do you just enter for the month individually?

      1. Zizoulicious
        • 8 Years

        I haven't entered a team at all

        it enters you automatically.

    3. Ziro Becomes One
      • 9 Years

      How do I enter it as I am from India? Need someone to convince them towers that cash awards for fantasy sports games are now allowed here..

        You can't.

  19. 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?

    1. Eoin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Had one decent shot from outside the box - but I only saw MOTD

    2. Spike ⚽️
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Hazard was the stand out Chelsea player

    3. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Pedro isn't a sure starter after that performance against Spurs. Hazard is.

      Pedro/Oscar, Willian, Hazard
      Costa/Remy

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

        Thanks. Will not go there.

    1 FT and 2.4m ITB - bank it?

    Butland - Hennessy

    Bellerin - Dawson - Nyom - Moreno - O'Shea

    Mane - KDB - Ozil - Deulofeu - Mahrez

    Kane - Lukaku - Vardy

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yeah, might as well.

    And here I was thinking I could just have a nice night indulging in alcohol.

    Rojo is incapacitated.

    A) Play one of Dawson (TOT) or Janmaat (LIV)
    B) -4 for >6m def

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

    Spent the night trying to sort out UFPL...and now I'm gonna say it again...

    FPL seems like such a small game once you fall in love with UFPL.

    Loan in whoever you like.
    Knee jerk picks every Saturday and sometimes Sunday nights
    No price rises
    Money to be won
    MD2 and MD3 picks as a priority

    Fantastic game...it just is..

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      Correcting errors.

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

        Yeah but that's what the game is all about TM..and every team does it. The trick is to try to ensure you maximise the best picks over the weekend.

      Yep.
      Just so annoyed I cocked up my transfers this year but the monthly prize keeps you interested.

    4. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Daily fantasy is where its at

      Up thousands this season already

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        How much do you lay down a weekend?

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

      Why are md2 and 3 picks a priority?

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

        That's where your team gets bolstered from the standard 50-60 pts to 80 and above.

        Sort out who you get to sub in and then pick the best team you can from those on MD1 (some of who will fail no matter how good they look).

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

          Right So do you sub in after they've played, or do you have to gamble before the md2 games on who to sub in?

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

            Yes. So you start with a standard Xl and then decide who has a rubbish score and swap them out for the next day.

            The key to it is to make sure you maximise your (quality) swaps. And you can swap your captain.

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

              Get it. You don't want a squad full of Saturday players... Need a Balance between all match days so you can do as many changes as needed. Cheers O'wakey

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

                That's it. You can do a maximum of three transfer at any one time to change your squad to maximise MD2 and MD3 picks...and that's the key to it.

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

                  Completely different strategy to fpl it seems. Just to check, you can do 3 transfers before md2 and another 3 before md3?

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

                    It's just a much bigger game..a lot more to think about.

    6. President John F. Keninnsie

      I love it.

  23. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    We think Coutinho will be fit right? Back training since the start of the week. That will be a full weeks training for him. You cant do that with a still injured hamstring can you?

    1. Eoin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Keep him if you have him, not sure if I'd risk a transfer tbh

    2. Super Tim Cahill
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      that's certainly the expectation but I'm waiting til the press conference before confirming a transfer.

      The other good thing is he's only been out for 2 weeks so will still have the condition to play >60 mins if Klopp wants to start him

  24. Hakuna Juan Mata
    • 8 Years

    Who are you guys captaining?

    1. Eoin

      Lukaku

      Lukaku

      As a dullard I should be duty bound to pick the top option in the poll but I respect Big Sam's defensive acumen a bit too much to captain Ozil this week.

    Hennessey, Butland
    Nyom, Cedric, Simpson, Souare, Monreal

    So Akon is attempting to bring electricity to 600 MILLION homes in Africa yet Kim Kardashian gets nominated for TIME's person of the year.

    Nice world we live in

      I'd love to introduce electricity to all reality stars, directly

      What about the person who first tweeted "is this dress white and gold, or black and blue" - are they nominated?

      Was it this year she got in a bin bag and poured champagne on her arse? Can't really compete with that.

      Anyone who can make electricity out of acorns gets my vote.

    Kane or Hazard for the armband for me..
    Which of these 2 would u go with and why.

    Kane~ Incredible form against a side that concedes a lot.
    Hazard~ Slowly getting back to form against a side that concedes way too much..

    Hazard being a Mid and sure to be centrally involved in everything may just sway it for me.

      No need to be nervous when you brought in one of best players in the league playing for a team sitting in 1st right now.

      Well done.

        Thanks for the vote of confidence guys!
        It's more his injuries I'm nervous about, not so much the player himself
