Rarely has the ScoutCast witnessed the collision of such contrary forces. With the radical “Andy G” dropping in alongside the self-proclaimed “dullard” Fantasy Manager, Jonty, we were always going to be in for an entertaining ride.

Foxes fan Andy arrives to express his emotions with both Leicester and his Fantasy Premier League lineup riding high. We look back on his implausible captaincy of Riyad Mahrez back in Gameweek 1, whilst picking out the highlights of Andy’s rip-roaring “maverick” season.

Another round of questions from you, the community, has us attempting to unpick the looming double Gameweek scenarios, whilst “Andy M” takes time to dispel the template myth. The four of us then turn our attentions to Gameweek 30, with beatnik boss Andy G revealing his rebellious streak with some crazy transfer talk.

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

    Who to play this week Daniels (SWA) or Wolly (SOU) ?

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

      Daniels

    Incredible that Spurs rested so many top players. They are getting paid enough to play a thursday and a sunday.

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      The leagues the priority, they haven't won it since 1961 double team.

  3. Hy liverpool

    ffs Optimus you still don't have Firmino till now ..
    I would get him this week and (c) him

    1. Optimus.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      As I said before I would rather sacrifice my rank than get him in and sacrifice his scoring and our title chase

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        our title chase
        😆

      2. Firminooooo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        +1

  4. jpdyolf
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I'm almost sure LVG apologized for fellaini and then added 'not that i saw it happen'

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Fellaini was responsible for 10% drop in possession! that is huge! Schweini improves it on average by 10% everygame...

      1. Jonesfromthere
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Schweini is vastly overrated.

        1. HNI
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Look at his ball distribution...And look at Manutd possesion stats with w/o Schweini ..It is for good reason he was part of some of the best teams of the decade

        2. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Schweinsteiger is right out of the top drawer but he's overweight to me and been sluggish because of that pretty much since we signed him.. disappointing

  5. edfiasco
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Play Lloris AVL (A) over Hart NOR (A) right?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      yep

    2. Jonesfromthere
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      yes

      1. edfiasco
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Ta

  6. HNI
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Rooney can actually get himself upto speed for Euros directly now as season objectives all accomplised by Van Gaal.

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      England would play better stuff without him.

  7. Here's the manager
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Evening. Still staring at 433 unless anyone likes Payet to Yaya.

    Butland
    Williams VVD Kompany Huth
    Ayew Mahrez Alli
    Kane Aguero Vardy
    ( Hennessy Ozil Payet Francis)

    Have 2FT so would be a shame not to use one surely?

    1. edfiasco
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Any money ITB?

      1. Here's the manager
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        0.3 so not enough for Silva!

        1. edfiasco
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I was wondering if you could do Ayew - Siggy but you can't afford it. Team looks good, unless you're desperate to hang on to Payet I'd go for it.

          1. Here's the manager
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Thanks, yep I could only do that with a downgrade - like the idea though

    2. Jonesfromthere
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Payet to Yaya looks good

    3. fitzy
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Francis or Hennessy our for slight upgrades?

      1. Here's the manager
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I do want to ship Francis but not much cash

        1. edfiasco
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Your defence is pretty strong, maybe Francis to Smith to free up cash?

          1. Here's the manager
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Thanks for that yep, I hadn't thought of him

            1. edfiasco
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              I'm an idiot they are the same price!

              1. Here's the manager
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 9 months ago

                Me too for not checking, thanks tho!

    4. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      ayew →Siggy or henn→Migs

      1. All de Gea
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Would go Butland, Fabianski, Hart or Schmeicel before Mignolet

    5. madame shelly
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      do it. Payet has che next. 343 gives you a player on bench should you need it and another attacking player. nothing's irreversible either

  8. jpdyolf
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Scholes is almost crying bless

    1. fickle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      he looks like he's about to turn into a mass murderer

  9. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I'm genuinely disheartened by United it's unreal. I don't care if we lose (and don't get me wrong Liverpool dominated), but where is the passion and desire?! We're not trying anything at all! These guys know absolutely nothing about throwing the kitchen sink at times. We'd have done anything to secure an away goal 2-0 down before.

    Van Gaal has sucked the life out of our players, and from many United fans like me. Our players don't even express themselves out there.

    At least I'm out in town tomorrow night, beware Manchester. I'll be nothing near sober after feeling this disheartened.

    1. jpdyolf
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Do you require scholes' piece of rope?

    2. Jonesfromthere
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      As bad as LVG has been, it's a really poor team on paper. Spent so poorly.

      1. Bazzalona
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        have to say I love the name

    3. Bazzalona
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      no one used to 'feel' wins and defeats more than I did, but now its just a case of 'oh well never mind'.

      now whether that's a case of getting older, having a family (priorities etc) or simply not being interested any more I don't know but you're right......paint dry viewing

    4. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Problem is deeper than Van Gaal. He's one, maybe the main one, but not the only one.

    5. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      why the hell didn't he get sacked till now? tell me one reason

      1. the axolotl
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        building his own team isn't he?

        too bad the team he's building are rubbish

      2. Bazzalona
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        the board don't want to admit to another mistake after appointing the wrong bloke in moyes.

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          what a logic !

          1. Bazzalona
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            that's basically what it looks like - they made a monumental mistake in moyes and (supposedly) took their time in finding lvg.
            they sack him and that's 4 managers in 4 seasons and they don't want that.
            lets face it results aren't good enough to keep him in the job so there has to be a reason.

            1. All de Gea
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              L o n g term plan.... LVG to Giggs after next year. Not popular with fans but at least it's a plan!?

              1. Bazzalona
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 9 months ago

                giggs is doing himself no favours being the assistant.

                yes he's utd through and through but they're basically risking the lot on an untried manager

    6. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Well atleast we have oppurtunity to waste money on wrong players again next season thanks to 30 new marketing deals by 'Lord' Woodward worth 400mn extra revenue

    7. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Man Utd fan in Manchester. No-one's going to believe it.

    8. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      LVG doesn't understand fully that it's not enough for United to win a few, they have to win them well and with style. It's what the fans expect.

      1. Bazzalona
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        have to confess I didn't know lvg's style was all about (zzzzzz) possession. after moyes and his awful football you'd think the board would have researched the lvg philosophee a bit more

    9. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      The manager, Rooney & Fellaini out would be a pretty good day for the club, then moving on.

      Of course, about 4/5 big signings are also needed too as the current squad is overflowing with players who are 5 out of 10s at best. 🙁

    10. Boo Ya Ka Sha
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      LVG is a great talent scout, and club rebuilder; however, he is terrible at motivating his players.

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Cant argue with this after all the extent of his motivational skills is getting his bollocks out

  10. HNI
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    How the hell did Netherlands reach the semis! Gues it makes Robben a balllon d'or nominee

    The saddest part is that what has happend to Manutd and Chelsea this season isnt even a joke anymore

  11. jpdyolf
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    BT need to cut this post mortem short

  12. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    De Gea will surely be off this summer. What a keeper.

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He could have but now as he has 3 yrs left still Manutd will tell him to bleed on bench or play mouthshut...His value is only gonna increase in next couple of years for Manutd to capitalize

      1. Clump
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Nah. It's a Suarez situation. Sign a new contract to increase market value for club. Player gets a wage increase on a contract buy out clause of silly money.
        What's the weather like in Madrid ATM?

    2. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Couldn't blame him he deserves better.. Maybe a change of manager will help who knows

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Doubt it mate. He deserves medals and trophies

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          He does.. i still think we have the talent in certain areas to compete under new management.. im just a bit disillusioned after that performance im going to bed to stick on my 99 treble season dvd and remember happier times

  13. Release The Ox
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Currently can put out 9 (including Kolorov). Surely a hit can be justified this week.

    Waiting until the end of tonights matches but thinking of Bellerin and Stanislas to Walker and Alli.
    couple of questions:
    Do we think both will play???
    Any other suggestions?

    Team is
    Butland
    Daniels Fuchs Kolorov
    Mahrez Siggy
    Kane Vardy Aguero

    McCarthy Bellerin Evans Ozil Stanislas Payet

  14. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Spurs form a bit naff of late in all comps..

    Their last 6 games..

    LWWLDL

    Wow. Concerning.

    1. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      don't look like champions elect

  15. Richd
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Watson and Ozil to Eriksen and Yaya. There is no reason not to do it!!! HERE WE GO LADZ

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      i'm about to click the button..

    2. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      i think i was there encouraging you when you bought watson. sorry.

      but yeah i'd do that

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I'd almost forgotten.. he's just been sat on my bench for 3 or 4 months haha

        I only 'lose' 0.4 on Ozil, and it's 0.3 if I wait overnight, so may as well just do it.

        1. the axolotl
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          if you can afford to wait a night, i probably would. that 0.1 won't go too far at this stage.

          1. Richd
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            You are very right actually, thank you..

            I think I will do it, but tomorrow. Plus I can listen to the Scoutcast now and ponder.

            Appreciate the help!

            Whats your transfer(s) this week?

            1. the axolotl
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              to field 11 i need to sell someone, probably fonte or watson actually. DGW news tomorrow may swing who. not a lot of cash for watson, thinking either wimmer for fonte, or holahan or redmond for watson.

  16. Clump
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Battered United tonight. Barr DDG, it's four or five. The big daft Belgian could have been sent off twice. Fancy Klopp to go balls out for the Europa now.

  17. marquinhos
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    So with Kane being rested, think he will do really well this weekend?

    1. Shipstontrev
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      They're playing Villa, so yes.

      1. Nespinha
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Carefull....Villa could put a Dortmund move and beat spurs 😛

        1. Shipstontrev
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Let's just say it's unlikely!

          1. Nespinha
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Also unlikely Leicester would be top of the league!!

            1. Shipstontrev
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              Good point well made!

  18. Nespinha
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Team for this week (the rest are blanks). 1FT 1.0£. Out: Henny, Ward, Dawson, Sanchez, Payet

    Forster
    Francis, Huth, Williams
    Eriksen, Alli, Arnautovic
    Afobe, Aguero, Paloschi

    A) Ward ---- Morgan
    B) Ward ---- Wimmer
    C) Sanchez --- Yaya

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Oh my!! No Kane, Mahrez, Vardy!!!

      1. Nespinha
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Some of us play the game differently 🙂

  19. HNI
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Just started to think what this Liverpool team would have achieved with Suarez managed by Klopp...Hope Liverpool get their UCL seat even though I am Manutd fan...atleast one tradiotional English club is keeping the torch high now

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Suarez under Klopp would be ridiculous. I'm going to bed thinking about it.

      Night! 🙂

    2. Bazzalona
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I don't think klopp would have got suarez playing any better than Rodgers did.....

  20. white lightning
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    So I have 11 players this week but need a bit of advice:
    Elliott (DDG)
    Simpson, Kompany, VVD, Dier (Dawson)
    Mahrez, Alli, Arnautovic (Ozil, Payet)
    Aguero, Kane (c), Vardy

    Which do you like:
    (a) Dawson out - Williams in (bench VVD) or
    (b) Elliott out - Fabianski in or
    (c) Another option I haven't considered.

    Thoughts & thanks

    1. Nespinha
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      play 11 players and save transfer 🙂

    A) smith (SWA)
    B) Bertrand (sto)

    1. Shipstontrev
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Smith for me, although I am biased!

      1. Nespinha
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

  22. che

    I really feel sorry for all the Man U fans when they lose. Better get used to it like the rest of us I'm afraid!

    1. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      • 16 Years

      Probably a 10% starter and 30% sub.

      1. Nespinha
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        60% on the stands? lol

  24. A.T

      Cresswell/Jags to Kompany maybe?

      1. Reddonkeyham 42
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Should of said no spare funds!

      Yes as you can't play 11.

      Payet to Siggy?

      1. Reddonkeyham 42
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Did think about this, but unsure any Swansea player for a hit

      Payer to silva if the funds are there!

      Who's "A" ?? Unless you have a player missing you have only squad of 14?

      1. Reddonkeyham 42
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Sorry Ozil is missing

    Willian dropping tonight. 🙁

    May have to do Willian to Siggy tonight then?

    1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years

      I'd go for it.

      Yes, do it

    I still don't really understand ... what are the teams that are sort of likely to have a DGW in GW34?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      The 10 blanking this week.

      1. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        thanks

      2. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Are they sort of likely or very likely, though?

        1. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Very. If not played on 34 have to be played in 37

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Very likely in 34

      3. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Plus MCity and Newcastle

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          That could easily go to GW37

            • 15 Years

            As could some of the others depending on Cup results this weekend?

    Bench 2 defs, chaps!

    A) Kompany
    B) Alderweireld
    C) Fuchs
    D) Francis

          Cheers guys! I'm 900k OR ranked and having nightmare season so far trying to climb the ranks in all my ML leagues, so I guess it's time to risk atm, isn't it? Or just play it safe this week when most of the teams can't field 11 fit players? Hard decisions to be made here >:

          1. 1zverGGademN
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Thinking about doubling on Swansea def this week (Fabianski is my playing GK) and benching Kompany just because City's defence is still shaky and Norwich are more attacking than Villa imo..

            1. VS10_
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              Swansea play Bournemouth who usually score.

                • 10 Years
                9 years, 9 months ago

                I can't disagree, but what you gonna do if you just bought Siggy for Ozil this week? Is it better to play Francis instead of Fernandez and Kompany then? I guess most of the people will start with Spurs/City/Leicester deffenders this week 🙂

                1. VS10_
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 9 months ago

                  Just bench DE, stop overthinking.

                  1. 1zverGGademN
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 9 months ago

                    U'r right! Looks like this GW there is no point to risk too much 🙂 Good Luck, mate!

    Who would transfer out for siggy?

      You shouldn't even contemplate B.

        • 12 Years

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Whoever you don't want to buy back?

      Payet, West Ham have some tough fixtures
