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.

    Now that you got your confirmation, who did you end bringing in for Sanchez and why?

    1. Gazpilicueta
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I brought in Ozil, last weekend for Sanchez, cos he is the King, and I waited too long already

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Can't go wrong with Ozil

        1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I think you can.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Silva, on Tuesday

      - I didn't want to lose value, as my TV is poor
      - All rivals have KDB and I'm chasing so thought I'd go for a differential
      - Good PPG, 6 assists in a few appearances, he has FPL track record

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Solid pick.

      2. Slam
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Fantastic pick BF.
        That will be my replacement for Alexis next week
        but unfortunately can't see myself bringing him in now, I just can't bench one of these this week:

        Firmino Barkley Mané Özil
        Vardy Kane Lukaku

        …just for Silva 😕

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          That is a huge benching headache SM. I went with Lanzini as a 5th mid and plan to rotate during Xmas. Are you going to stick to that+

      3. bennyp
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Good pick there. I think KDB & Silva might even be worth a double up. As we have Kane - Vardy - Lukaku covering the forward points

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Agreed

    3. SweeSwee
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard, just for the remote possibility he might score points when everyone says he won't.

      1. Still Unsure
        10 years, 7 months ago

        This.

      2. gannyali
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I second that

      3. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        High ownership still, not much of a differential.

        1. gannyali
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Differential in my private league 😉

    4. Bobbydhino - ⚒ Saint Slav…
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I cut Sanchez 2 weeks ago for Ozil.

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

      Walcott.

      Because I wanted a punt, and he's a much better punt than Hazard.

      Plus I love Theo

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Unlikely to start this weekend though..

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Only needs 20minutes at the end of the game to lash one in against tiring Sunderland.

          Also, I think he will start. Wenger doesn't really have a lot of option anymore does he.

    6. DickieRay the Dullard
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Barkley on Sunday night. Cheaper than Coutinho.

  2. Gazpilicueta
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    little help?

    how do I find my FPL ID?

    Nice to know there's a few of us 'tuning in'!

  4. JaydenLFC87
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez > ??

    Haz

    Ozil

    Firmino

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Coutinho if fit. Otherwise Firmino

  5. zotter
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Currently have....

    Begovic. McCarthy
    Dier. Kolarov. Moreno. Bellerin. Simpson
    Lingaard. Ozil. Coutinho. Kdb. Tadic
    Igalo. Aguero. Lukaku

    0.2 itb. One Ft

    What should be the plan this week???

    At the moment thinking beg to Courtious

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Have concerns over Begovic. Lingard. Coutinho. Aguero this week

    2. Bobbydhino - ⚒ Saint Slav…
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Beg and Lingaard.

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Really depends on Aguero Coutinho fitness news. And if Jose gives any hints about the keeper.

        Lingaard is last of my worries. But important in case others are injured

        1. Bobbydhino - ⚒ Saint Slav…
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Interesting thoughts, thanks for sharing.

          Augero and Coutinho are so intrical to their teams I dont see them not playing.

          Good luck on your weekend.

  9. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Other than Hazard should I be looking towards some Chelsea attacking cover?

    Willian?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      1 is more than the quota

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He scores free kicks and that's it. And won't keep it up.

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I brought in Willian. Only one with any value IMO plus couldn't afford Hazard anyway

  10. rekyaren
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    When Watford goes into those awful christmas fixtures, would you downgrade KDB to Coutinho in order to upgrade Ighalo to Kane?

    Aguero and Lukaku other strikers.

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Imo invest in a good fifth mid

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Not for me, that move could backfire

    3. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      However. Those are good transfers regardless

    4. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I'm looking at upgrading ighalo to kane as well, but it will hurt the rest of my team. Don't know what to do yet

      1. rekyaren
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Same boat here. Need to free up some funds, but dont know where to start.

        Butland/Myhill
        Darmian, Moreno, Bellerin, Richards, Francis.
        Mahrez, Barkley, KDB, Hazard, King
        Aguero, Lukaku, Ighalo

        1.3 ITB. i can afford Darmian, Richards, Ighalo,KDB -> Rose, Simpson, Kane, Coutinho.
        It will take some time, not willing to do many hits for it, and things may change over time..

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Its the newc game I'm afraid of, dont have any time. I'm going to chance it with iggy pop

        2. DickieRay the Dullard
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Don't think I can afford the big strike line of Aguero, Kane & Lukaku and fill out the rest of the team.

    5. Bobbydhino - ⚒ Saint Slav…
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I keep him personally. I think he can produce an assist/goal or two against any club. Over the last 10 gw he had a goal or assist in 7 and 4 of those multiple-goal/assist matches. He has not gone more than a week without a return in the same time frame.

  11. Numb
    • 11 Years

    Captain Ozil or Lukaku?
    ...and why?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Neither

      1. Numb

        Who then?

          You got Ighalo?

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        OK I will. He picks Ozil or Vardy every week. Which is pretty good.

      not ozil, big sam's bus could be an aircraft carrier

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years

        Good point

  12. justmatt
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Thinking of leaving Sanchez on the bench, saving FT for next week and then swapping Sanchez & Vardy to Coutinho & Kane (just in time for the Newcastle game). Sound reasonable? Rest of team is...

    Cech
    VVD Sagna Moreno
    Ozil KDB Mahrez Barkley
    Ighalo Vardy Lukaku(c)

    Hennessey Sanchez Dawson Dann

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Bring in Coutinho for this week and have Barkley on the bench.

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I would have mahrez on bench though transfer makes sense

      2. justmatt
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Not sure Coutinho will start and didn't want a 20 minute cameo for a point.

  13. zotter
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Captain currently on igalo

    Other options are Coutinho Aguero KdB Ozil Lukaku

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Good GW on the way.

  14. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Listening to the scoutcast not helping me recover from the that I sold KDB for a hit last week to get in Aguero

  15. sneif4
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez to Coutinho or Mane
    Rojo to Moreno (already have Migs) or Toby

    Any thoughts on these moves?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Is Coutinho fit ? and I own Mane so I am not sure why you want to buy Mane beyond the next fixture ?

      1. sneif4
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I'm leaning towards Coutinho but worried about his fitness.

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      as long as you have defensive cover i'd do the sanchez move

    3. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Coutinho. And Toby. However would rather have lloris and Moreno

  16. Slam
    • 11 Years

    Am I GTG?

    Butland
    Rose Bellerín Moreno

      Very good. In fact of Coutinho injured switch captain to firmino

      1. Slam
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Not sure what you mean.
        It seems like them two compliment each other… they have some sort of Brazilian chemistry if you know what I mean.

        Still not 100% sure Firmino will play the full 90, I want my captain to play the whole match

        1. zotter
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Liverpool will destroy Newcastle regardless. If Coutinho doesnt play. Firmino definitely starts

  17. Bainesill
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Rojo > Zouma

    Easy transfer? Means I've got no Man U but I can't afford Smalling.

      He's one of my captain options 😮

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Form is putting me off

        1. Zizoulicious
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          True, both him and the team. I'm probably leaning more towards Ighalo/Vardy

      2. pit creature
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I don't want to bench, particularly as Villa are awful, but it's between him and Kane and Deulofeu and I think he's the weakest of the 3.

        1. Zizoulicious
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I'd go Deulo out of those three. Palace very strong away and he's not a big goal threat, especially compared to Mané

          1. pit creature
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Maybe yeah. He's brilliant though!

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Southampton might start being more defensive, mane seems to have more space to attack when they setup like that

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah?

    Ooh Gilesy is a tad annoyed

    Jimmy Dunne netted in 12 consecutive matches for Sheffield United between October of 1931 and January 1932. It is a record that seems to be forgotten given the rise of the Premier League. Johnny Giles believes Sky are to blame for rewriting history to suit themselves.

    "The way Sky go on, the records only started in 1992. It’s very disrespectful to the players who have records like Jimmy Dunne." Giles said on tonight's Off the Ball.

    There has been plaudits aplenty for Vardy, who scored in 11 games including his most recent effort that earned his side a point against Manchester United last weekend. Dunne scored in 12 and Giles believes it is wrong to discount him just because he played before Sky even existed, "Just because he was playing a long time ago doesn’t mean the records don’t count, but that’s Sky."

    Likewise, Alan Shearer in the Premier League was the first player to score 100 goals for two different clubs, according to Sky but Giles points out that "Jimmy Greaves did that in the 60's and 70's. He scored over 100 goals for Chelsea and then scored over 100 goals for Tottenham and he doesn't get a mention. That's wrong."

    Giles believes "the history of football is there, Sky didn't create football."

      Read a great piece on Jimmy Dunne during the week.

      Fascinating to say the least.

      1. Somalion

        10 years, 7 months ago

        If interested, and haven't already come across it, I might suggest looking up Patrick O'Connell, an Irish player who managed Barcelona and was almost entirely forgotten about. Some fascinating characters/stories out there.

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Yeah I love that stuff.

          Read great stuff about an Irish man connected with founding Boca Juniors in Argentina and adopting Tipperary colours for that reason.

          I'll check out O'Connell.

      It's been like that forever, you'd think Everton winning the league in the 1980s happened before the vikings invaded

        Aye, it was more the Normans around then.

    Butland

    Who to captain? GTG?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I'd captain Lukaku or Hazard. Good to go!

    2. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Captain Firmino if Coutinho out. Otherwise sod it hazard

      Who is John Nerdlebuam?

      1. John Nerdelbaum

        The fella above.

        For some reason we discuss our FPL teams over the internet yet I have no idea who he really is.

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years

          Genuine lol

            • 13 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            I imagine i'm not speaking to the actual Tony Hibbert either

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      had a benching dilemma with Rojo but that's been solved

      Still got Sanchez, pretty set on Couts but waiting for news. Have to take the drop

      What about you? Good luck on Hazard!

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Gtg John.

        Barring any horror Aguero news I suppose.

        If there is I'll treat I'll like an opportunity more than a hindrance.

        You hitting to lose Rojo or have u cover?

        1. John Nerdelbaum
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Bellerin, Kolarov + Moreno. I was poised to bench Moreno actually so not too bad actually

          Rojo has been ridiculous since buying him in

          Thinking of a downgrade to work towards the Kun fund...

          Either that or go Zouma / Spurs

          1. Hibbo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Have you Kane then?

            Zouma looks good to me or Alderweireld.

            Great you can get by with no hit.

            1. John Nerdelbaum
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              Yeah might captain him. Don't rate Brom at home

              Really like the Zouma pick actually - think people might get stuck in to Chelsea defensive assets if they keep another cleany

              1. Hibbo
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 7 months ago

                Great pick IMO.

                1. John Nerdelbaum
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 7 months ago

                  would mean im still £2 mil short of a Vardy - Kun move if I get Coutinho

                  What's your take on it? Just leave Kun completely and go without for Swansea and the foreseeable?

        2. John Nerdelbaum
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Is there any further Kun news. He should be fine?

          1. Hibbo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Hopefully fine or I'm buying Kane.

    @TM

    Not sure if you saw my question earlier...

    Was just curious - you are in Oz right? Do you get Sky Sports UK over there? Or do you watch PL on an Oz channel?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      No Sky Sports in Australia. It's all Fox Sports etc.

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Ah right!

        It was the comment about who would replace GNev that got me wondering. Have you ever seen him doing his analysis stuff? Have you ever seen Sky Sports coverage?

        If so, how does it compare to Fox?

        1. TorresMagic™

    Took a 72 point hit in UFPL last week to set my team up for December. Going to have a serious go at this manager of the month prize. With City, Arsenal, UTD, Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool and Everton all having great fixtures this week I have loaded up on their assets.

  25. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Ready to do Rojo->Toby. GTG or get Rose instead for greater attacking threat

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Rose IMO. More of a differential too

    2. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Looks like you have 4 other playing defenders so if Rose misses one game over Christmas you won't be in trouble. I have had Toby from the start but at this point I would buy Rose.

    3. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  26. zotter
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Is general consensus on Coutinho. If you have him start but don't captain

    If you don't. Don't buy but don't risk any other Liverpool coverage ?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Klopp's presser tomorrow to give more info.

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Ultimately yes. However if That is vague ?

  27. David Davros
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on Hazard in for Sanchez for a punt?

    Everything about it makes me think bad idea, but Silva or Firmino don't seem much better given I have Coutinho already.

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Silva better

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Good punt this week.

  28. Alittude
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Got rid of kdb for a hit, missed his haul, now got him back in for samcheZ but .5 more expensive than I got him. Still haven't recovered mentally from that horrendous mistake. Hard to look at the game atm.

    1. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Karma for that grav 😉

      1. Alittude

  29. Jimmeh
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Struggling massively with choosing a starting lineup.

    Currently have both Mahrez and Vardy on the bench, despite playing Swansea away which, whilst not great, isn't the worst game ever. But then my team is:

    Moreno/Nyom/Alderweireld/Bellerin/Sagna
    Ozil/Barkley/Coutinho
    Lukaku/Aguero

    Am I mad benching Mahrez + Vardy over Nyom + Coutinho?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Bench sagna and nyom play both

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Would definitely consider benching one of the following: Sagna (City can't stop conceding with no Kompany), Nyom or Barkley (Already got Lukaku and CP isn't the easiest fixture atm)

      Definitely have to play at least one of Mahrez or Vardy

  30. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Butland
    Rose Monreal Moreno
    Özil Silva Mahrez Ayew*
    Kane Vardy Aguero

    (Myhill Dann Gosling Evans)

    Ayew > Coutinho (FT) is my planned transfer tomorrow if Coutinho is fit*

    Good to go? And who'd you captain?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      All good. And captain Coutinho.

      You need to watch out for Aguero news too.

      Otherwise captain Kane

    2. Slam
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Captain Kane/Silva/Coutinho imo.
      You look ready 🙂

    3. Sjaugen

      Coutinho for the armband if you bring him in/he is fit
