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.

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

    Hang on? Gary Neville is head coach of Valencia? Has the world gone mad?

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      His MNF work has been great self-promotion, a footballer who can actual talk sense about football! I'd really like to see it work.

      1. Cheeseoid

        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Of course it would be great to see a successful young English manager coming through and he is a good pundit. But it is a pretty high profile job to start with it will be a tough one.

        1. Lallana_
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          He's put in an awkward position - if he rejects it he doesn't look confident

        But I am not Diva? My brain hurts.

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          I know 😳

          Don't have a clue why I wrote Diva.

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            It must be the Sychellian connection.

    2. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Will be interesting to see how he fares. He's more intelligent than most football managers, has a good understanding of football and has a reputation for being an incredibly hard worker.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        True. Just don't expect to see news like that. I have been out Christmas shopping all day and am catching up.

      2. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        +1. I think he is fantastic. Hope he succeeds over there. I never let LFC bias overtake my gut feelings on people,
        I hated him for a decade and I fully expect that I will respect him for another decade.

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          +1

    3. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I think he will do very well . young , intelligent , winning mentality. I'd hate to see united take him on

    4. Hyperion
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      They are owned by Peter Lim who is a big Man Utd fan and has a 50% stake in Salford City so it's mostly nepotism.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Nepotism. Networking. Whatever. Getting yourself onwards and upwards. That's how life and careers work.
        GNev has obviously been working behind the scenes with the likes of Lim and others to manufacture this move and fair play to him.

        1. Hyperion
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Perhaps nepotism is a bit harsh because I do think highly of Gary. Just pointing out that it's not as surprising an appointment once you know the Lim connection.

  2. Lallana_

    No goals from Hazard in his last 24 games for Chelsea

    1. SonOfSteven
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Surely it isn't 24 games since Arsenal?

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Didn't get credit for that goal

  3. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Hiya lads, thought i'd ask for advice now from you wise ones now as it'll be pandamonium as usual tomorrow on here 🙂

    Do i look GTG? And who on earth do i captain?! i just cannot decide.

    Butland
    Bellerin - Alderweireld - Coleman
    Mahrez - De Bruyne - Ozil - Coutinho
    Lukaku - Aguero - Kane
    _____________________________
    McCarthy: Alli, Simpson, Oxford

    Has to be Coutinho, doesn't it?

    Any help here would be much appreciated.

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Looks amazing Mannioni
      And yes Coutinho(c) if declared fit.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers RCA, cool, Coutinho it is then, fingers crossed he's declared fit. Thanks again.

        Oh! and enjoy your Spa break mate 🙂

    2. Hyperion
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      If I had either I'd probably go Aguero or Kane. I'm on Lukaku.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah it does bother me not captaining Aguero, a player brought in for 13m! but i just can't see City scoring a hatful against Stoke, and with Coutinho there up against dier Newcastle, if fit i have to captain him i suppose. I expect Kane to do wel lthough if spurs come out of the blocks fast.

  4. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Bolasie -> Barkley
    Sanchez -> Coutinho

    Are these worth a -4?

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Well Yes. You really need to do something with Sanchez at least.

    2. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      What happened to Bolasie? Not worth taking a hit to get rid of him.

    3. Hyperion
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely wouldn't take Bolasie out. I've done Sanchez to Coutinho.

    4. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Only the Sanchez trade

  5. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Who should I play this GW - Dawson (TOT) or Morgan (swa)?

    Or Rojo -> Zouma for -4?

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Morgan

    2. Hyperion
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Not worth a hit, I'd probably play Morgan of those two.

    3. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks guys

    4. sleecc
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Morgan. I am in similar situation, and I will play Simpson.

  6. Scratch
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    I really ought to know this, but can a player fall .4m in a week?

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Nope.

      1. ringwraith
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez has just fallen another .1. That makes .3 since last week. I was transferring him out and hit the transfer button but, it did not go through as Alexis had fallen. I still made the switch to Hazard. That's the 3rd time that's happened this season for me. A little PO'd

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hey mate. Which league are you referring to?
      I run 2. FFS Old Farts Club (5 seasons running) and a 2 million rank club from GW5 this season.

        I was told regarding the former, but didn't know you own another league as well. Just trying to join some leagues run by FFS members here.

    Best pick up to gwk 19...Mata or Deulofeu?

    1. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      The one that doesn't play for United

    2. Eye of the Schweinsteiger
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Deulofeu

    3. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Deulofeu 🙁

  9. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Captaining Firmino too bold a move or play it safe with Kane for a draft league?

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      play it safe

  10. A-VB
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Marcos Rojo > Danny Rose

    I know Rose is a slight rotation threat over Chrtistmas, while Dier is most probably nailed to the wall anytime at the same price, but Rose's point potential in terms of attack and bonus over Dier is much higher imo.

    Sound move ?

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Just pick Walker.

      1. A-VB
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        On 4YC

        But I think he is nailed, though he lacks attacking threat and certainly is way off in BP threat compared to his defensive partners.

    2. sleecc
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, if you have proper backup.

      1. A-VB
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        The other four are Monreal, Moreno, Evans and Bennett

        1. sleecc
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          If you can maintain all starters then why not.

    3. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Can you get Toby?

      1. A-VB
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Yea, I can.

        But at 5.5 he is a tad bit expensive for me, especially when I have the likes of Walker, Rose, Dier in the same team at a cheaper price.

        1. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Then Walker

  11. Littlefish92
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Who to captain?
    1.Ozil
    2.coutinho if fit
    3.Aguero
    4.Silva

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      2

      1. Littlefish92

        Thanks

    2. Eye of the Schweinsteiger
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      2 if he's sure to start or else 1

      1. Littlefish92
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks was thinking between one of them 2 myself but could not pick

    3. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Coutinho but don't expect to get any definitive team news from Klopp

      1. Littlefish92
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I know yea he said last week he should be ok turns out was not Evan in the team but if he don't play think I may put VC on Ozil

        1. Gloria Kanchelskis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          That should work.

          1. Littlefish92
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            🙂 thanks

    Best Rojo replacement if you had a FT?

    Butland Hennessey
    Rojo* Toby Moreno Dawson Morgan

    1. sleecc
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Zouma?

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Yes thinking Zouma.

        Other options are Bellerin (but Cow out), Kolarov (rotation, City conceding), Smalling (too expensive), Dann (double up on Hennessey)...

        1. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          *Coq

        2. sleecc
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Agreed with your concern, not many good options that I can think of.

  13. goodday there mate

                  Yup has played the full 90 for the last 3 games. only 4.3 has to be a bargain

                    Not convinced with Norwich defence, but 4.3 is very cheap.

        5th isn't bad when FPL is the national sport 🙂

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Ooo-err, hit to sort it out?

  16. mbrucie
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    If Lloris had not have pulled off that save, Hazard probably would have had a goal and max bonus on his way to an 11-point haul and then would likely be considered a no-brainer option for Sanchez this week with his fixtures.

    1. Jape
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      True, but Lloris did make that save

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        A save that not many keepers could make, especially Bournemouth's 3rd keeper.

    2. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      0 goals in 24 games.

      1. mbrucie
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        It is how many goals he scores in his next 24 games which holds greater interest to me.

  17. Eye of the Schweinsteiger
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Which move would you make:
    1)Take Rojo out for a hit (Who for?)
    2) Play J Evans TOT (H)

    Begovic (Butland)
    VVD Bellerin Dann (Williams Targett)
    Ozil Hazard Mahrez KDB (Lingard)
    Kun Ighalo Lukaku

    Dann - Moreno for a hit?

    1. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      With no other transfer needs pressing you can afford to wait until next week and avoid the hit

  19. Jape
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    What do we think of KDB as a captain option?

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      A lot of better options IMO

      1. Jape
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Thought so. Waiting on Cout news first.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Not convinced personally, go with Ozil or a striker.

      1. Jape
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Thinking more as a differential. He looked great in C1C. I know it's the C1C, but still

  20. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Best midfielder to replace Alexis?

    A) KDB
    B) Silva
    C) Hazard
    D) Coutinho

    Have Aguero, but no Liverpool or Chelsea cover.

    Second question,
    Sagna to...
    Moreno, Zouma or Toby?

    Cheers.

    1. edfiasco
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I went Hazard, but I'd be tempted by Coutinho

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I'm tempted by Hazard. I feel over the next 3 games Hazard will outscore him.

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      KDB and Zouma for me.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers Walsh. You think KDB will score more often now that Silva has taken over the creative dept?

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          I do, and in reality, he had scored perfectly fine before his latest explosion. Two blanks and everyone on here treats a player as if their head has fallen off. He will be a steady stream of points all season as long as he is fit I think.

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah, consistent and potentially explosive. Great combination.

    Came across this interview of Sherwood from the Telegraph, he makes some solid points regarding scouting lower league players & recent successes that have been the result of doing so (Vardy, Alli, Stones, CWilson, etc). I find his argument regarding statistical analysis in football completely off-base though 😉

      Interesting article. It is true that lower league players can do well if given a chance. Re statistics, I guess it is hard to compare players stats from different leagues, but things like quality of passes, through balls, big chances created, cross conversion, shot conversion etc have to be good dust compared to watching one single game of a player who may be good or bad on that given day

      1. Zasa
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Fair points, Scored. I find this whole old school mentality of 'old football men' so dumbfounded tbh. The game evolves every generation, like every sport, the utilization of statistical analysis, tactics writing & scouting in tandem is all prevalent now. Some people fail to embrace change & adapt to it.

    KDB or Silva?

    I can't decide...

    1. Littlefish92
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I would say KDB but I went Silva

      1. thunder_mike
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I had KDB and got rid last week, I am thinking Silva just because I don't want to go back. 😛

        1. Littlefish92
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Well there is that but I can not see silva getting the full 90 as not long been back and they may not want to rush him back so fast like they are not doing with aguero at the moment

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      KDB for me. Less concern over minutes with the pile up coming hedges it for me.

  27. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    How nailed is Ryan Bennett?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't feel comfortable getting him.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Even after 5 straight 90 minute games? In which they have only conceded 5 goals?

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah. Not going to pretend I follow Norwich's back line too closely but seems they have several movable parts. I've never really rated Bennett, and I had a pop on their fan forum a couple days ago to see and he wasn't included in everyone's lineup projection for the Watford game so that never bodes well to me as I was looking at him too.

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Fair enough 🙂 Thanks!

    2. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He played great vs Arsenal & he's had chemistry with Bassong, he should play next game imo.

    3. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Fwiw, Bassong and Martin as a pair conceded 10 in three matches before the switch to Bennett conceding 5 in 5. Wisdom has also improved their backline

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Change in tactics also helped that...and more so I think than the inclusion of Bennett..

        1. Zasa
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Could be that as well, there's nothing but praise for young Bennett over on the fan forums though.
