Rarely during the 180-episode history of the ScoutCast have I felt so under fire; forced to curl up in a ball and defend myself by any means necessary.

Reeling from the first dramatic failing of my no-Aguero policy, I recruit Luke to join myself, Andy and Jonty, only to find that I’ve set up an unwanted 3 vs 1 scenario.

A ten-minute tirade, during which I desperately clutch at every tangible straw, has me desperately trying to justify my Aguero stance, while my trio of co-hosts listen on, jab and prod and allow me to tie myself in knots.

Eventually I manage to deflect the blows and switch attentions to another round of community questions. We review failing heavy-hitters, a blossoming Baines and a resurgent Rooney, before the traditional preview of the Gameweek to come.

          Lukaku for now. According to FPL Statistico he also has the highest points average of the players I've captained before. (Lukaku (3 times - 64 points - average 21.3 points)

        Good.. who do you captain this week?

    11. meerlight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      (c) points: 276 (surprised it's that high)
      rank: 120K

      doesn't seem that there's much correlation, does there?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        I'm quite surprised by the results.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          It's not you (c) choice that matters (though we agonise over it every week), it's the overall squad and 11 players that counts.

          I thought that there would be more of a correspondence, all the same.

      Interesting site. Turns out I've actually benched more goalkeeper points than I've played... Mainly due to benching Butland for his difficult fixtures (City, Arsenal etc) I guess.

    Agüero / Lukaku (C) / Kane

    GTG?

    Benching headache in defence though, and Stanislas faces Sunderland. Could play Bench Boost, but there will be a better time for it, won't it?

    It's amazing how many cheap keepers we have this season.

    Hennessey (for now), Bunn, Elliot and Rudd. We'd be lucky to have one in a season in the past

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Well, yes - but we had none of them when the season started.

    2. JAC THE CAT

      Yes, it's great!

    3. Esraj

      10 years, 20 days ago

      Yeah, but I still can't fathom how Aston Villa's back up keeper is 4.3. He should be 3.8 or less.

      1. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    What to do with this team?

    Lloris(Elliot)
    Daniels - Moreno - Bellerin - Dawson - Soaure
    Özil - Arna - Mahrez - KDB - Hoolahan
    Kane - Aguero - Iggy

    2FT nothing in the bank

  5. ManTree(v2!) or just JAY!
    • 15 Years

    Hi guys

    Here is my team, any ideas as I have 2FT?!

    Butland
    Bellerin / Huth / Dawson
    Alli / KDB / Mahrez / Ozil
    Kane / Aguero / Ighalo

    (Antonio / Dier / Evans)

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Kane to Lukaku

      1. ManTree(v2!) or just JAY!
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Have you seen Spurs next 3 fixtures? Not sure that is a wise move

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Bellering -> Kos

      I'd double up on WBA

      1. ManTree(v2!) or just JAY!
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        and bench bellerin?

  6. ShaunGoater123

    • 11 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Pretty stumped this week as nothing in particular i want to do. However I have 2FT's so feel it would be a waste not to do one, any suggestions?

    DDG / McCarthy

    Bellerin / Vertonghen / Moreno / Simpson / Francis

    Mahrez / Willian / SIlva / Payet / Stanislas

    Kane / Lukaku / Aguero

    1.3 ITB.

    Cheers

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years

      Get Targett.

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        good suggestion. although fear he could be dropped at any moment and all the ones i currently have are nailed.

        if i was to get him would you suggest for simpson or francis?

        1. Costa's Counsellor
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          Francis probably. Looks like Targett will rise in price so worst case you will make some money out of him.

    2. Nexus
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Francis -> Daniels

    Mahrez to Mirallas is really starting to tempt me...

        I'm also thinking that 2 frees next week could be really handy. Not sure, should probably start taking more risks but I suck at that.

        1. Costa's Counsellor
          • 10 Years

          I would save.

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years

      As someone who loves punts, I'm not even remotely tempted by Mirallas!

        10 years, 20 days ago

        Me too!

        Andy I've fallen for a lot of the same traps as you in the last few months, but I really wouldn't make that transfer 😛

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 12 Years

          1. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            Did well on his return to the side last week, differential, decent history, great fixtures.

            I'm not pushed at all.

          • 15 Years

          I'm probably going to save and reassess but it's mighty tempting 🙂

    3. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Don't get the Mirallas love

      He breaks the #1 rule in FPL as he is far from nailed

      Also, he has played 90 mins ONCE this season. ONCE.

      Not to mention he is injury prone and has a history of throwing tantrums

      No thank you.

    4. Arvin-ation

      I'm waiting for DGW information. Will then probably get rid for Everton/City/Liverpool mids

    6. meerlight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mirallas is way too streaky. Myself, I can't drum up any enthusiasm for anyone other than lukaku,

  9. Doolittle
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    I notice that Wijnaldum's been further forward in GWs 1, 6, 9, 17, and the last 2 - and unsurprisingly his threat has been far higher. These were all home games. After his success in the last 2 games, are we expecting him to maintain an advanced role, or be shifted back into a deeper position?

      He actually was advanced in GWs 5 and 20, which were away, but these appear to be anomalies.

      Bosses in a long meeting?

      1. Doolittle
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Friday - they're pretty much out the entire day.

        1. Robe Wan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          what do you do in the city Doolittle?

          1. Doolittle
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            Recruitment for financial services. Looking at moving abroad though so hopefully won't be doing this for much longer!

            1. Robe Wan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 20 days ago

              you'll be in the DZ...

            2. Camp No No
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 20 days ago

              You know, you should start to write here more often, get caught and fired so that they have to pay you for firing you despite doing a decent job. That way you're much better off to start your Asian travelling.

              Unless, of course, you want a good reference from your boss.

              1. Doolittle
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 20 days ago

                Ahaha yes, the reference issue is preventing me from going out in a blaze of glory.

    3. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Good stats 😉

      I think he will remain more advanced now Shelvey is in

      1. Esraj
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Shelvey is a perfect fit for newcastle. Enormous talent, but inconsistent.

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          True

          Wijnaldum should benifit the most from the transfer

          1. Esraj
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            Just as Gomis benefitted from those eye-of-the-needle passes in the first few games. But, he couldn't continue it.

    4. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Newcastle's form coincides with him moving to a central position

    5. Yome
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      He is playing now in the centre behind Mitrovic and form a good attacking duo.
      I expect he will keep that spot unless there is injuries in midfield he may have to cover

    6. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Thanks all.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Hey, Doolittle. Did you intentionally left my question before unanswered? If yes, I'm absolutely fine with that. just checking if just happened to miss it.

        1. Doolittle
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          Sorry Mou, which question was that?

            1. Doolittle
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 20 days ago

              Ahh I missed that one. He is a few years older than me, but grew up in the Midlands and is a Doctor.

              1. Camp No No
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 20 days ago

                Oh, I didn't mean that particular one. just in general, if you have a cousin matching my description.

                1. Doolittle
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 20 days ago

                  I have one who vaguely matches that description, she grew up in Northampton, is a few months older than me and also did an English degree. Why, do you think you know someone who may be my cousin?

                  1. Camp No No
                    • 12 Years
                    10 years, 20 days ago

                    No, not the one. It's a he.

                    Yeah. Although I do expect that your family name is not uncommon, it's just that the guy has a bit of same looks as your twitter account pic. It was when I saw your twitter account that I started to think that there might be a small world phenomenon here. But apparently not.

                    1. Doolittle
                      • 13 Years
                      10 years, 20 days ago

                      Ha, O'Connor is an exceptionally common name, there is only one male cousin I have on my Dad's side - that's the Doctor. Could be a distant relative though!

                      1. Camp No No
                        • 12 Years
                        10 years, 20 days ago

                        Yeah, but as you said, there are plenty of O'Connor families. I wouldn't ask if Sinead is your aunt, for example. There was the reason of a distant resemblance. To be honest, on a new glance at your twitter pic, the resemblance is indeed distant, not close. Just not so distant that you _couldn't_ be cousins (who often do not very closely resemble each other, I have cousins that nobody would imagine are related to me) and that combined with the same family name made me think of that possibility. Which would have been a fun occurrence.

      Wish he would 100% nailed to start.

  14. crazyassbitch
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    In a dgw some players might get rotated who would you avoid beacause of rotation?

    1. RustyBz
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Depends which teams

      1. crazyassbitch
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        thinking mostly of city who can pretty much rest all players
        but also the other possible teams

    2. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      We dopnt know anything about a dgw, so pointless asking.

      1. crazyassbitch
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        not if you are trying to plan ahead

        1. Kings of Lyon ★
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          What if they dgw isnt until GW35? Would you go without KdB for all that time just because he may be rotated?

        2. crazyassbitch
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          im going to have some city players anyway so is de bruyne better than silva or yaya in that respect and is otamendi better than sagna kolarov glichy zaballeta when it comes to rotation in a double gameweek

          1. Kings of Lyon ★
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            Again, its difficult to say. If City are out of the FA cup and the cL by the time the DGW comes around there could be no rotation

            1. crazyassbitch
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 20 days ago

              but when the decision is close its still something to considder

  15. StayClasie
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Would you play Alli or Payet this GW?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years

    1. Nexus
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Im not sure - he gets rotated now as hes old.
      Could get rested for the carling cup, difficult to tell to be honest.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years

      He had better not.

    1. Camp No No

      If they knew that you're typing on this forum while you're having the skype meeting, though. 😉

              Busted! There's no such thing as a quick cigar.

        Ugh those people are the worst... It's like they're eating a centimeter away from my ear..

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          You should just loudly and angrily yell them to stop it on the mic.

            • 15 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            I was thinking more along the lines of eating a louder and more annoying food type...

            Like a bag of prawn crackers..

            ..through a straw..

            covered in popping candy.

              • 12 Years
              10 years, 20 days ago

              That popping candy! 😀 +1 for imaginative ways of causing pain to others!

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years

      That could work out nicely.

    2. Kings of Lyon ★

  24. kingbails
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Similar to above, is Vardy to Aguero (-4) worth it? I have Mahrez.
    Or Vardy to Kane straight swap?

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Either is good to me.

  25. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    captain Aguero right, not Lukaku?

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years

      Your choice. Pros and Cons to either.

    2. FPL Mentor

      Either or. Same as the Aguero/Kane debate last week really.
