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.

        yaya because of mini league issues

    I like how ppl are praising Liverpool right now. It's not like they just beat Dortmund or any other team with quality.

      • 10 Years

      You can only beat who is put in front of you and they did that.. well

    I don't think I'm so happy to be going to the Liverpool United secind leg after tonight 🙁

    1. Fifa las vegas

      My first ever game to go to, and I don't think I am going to be able to enjoy it really...

    Trying to decide who to start between Butland and Forster this week

    I'm playing Arnie so gotta start Butland right?

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

      If you didn't own Arnie, I'd still start Butland.

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

        Cheers. Due to home Advantage or just being the better keeper? I don't trust Stoke without Shawcross. (not sure if he's back)

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I don't trust S'ton much atm plus no Fonte.

    Great team performance tonight. I was awesome. Thanks to the fans. #YNWA 😎

      • 10 Years

      First time with this sort of post:-

      Butland
      Fuchs / Kompany/ Toby
      Mahrez / Arny / Alli
      Aguero / Kane / Vardy

      (Bellerin / Smalling / Ozil / Payet)

      1FT 0.0ITB Need to make 1 move to field 11:-

      A) Smalling > Daniels (play 4-3-3)
      B) Ozil/Payet > Siggy (play 3-4-3)
      C) Something else??

      1. Sepp Blattered

          How do you post without "replying" to someone elses - is there a separate tab??

          thanks

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Still think PL clubs will do well in Europa League? 😉

  5. the axolotl

    9 years, 9 months ago

    simon francis has cost me an awful lot this season. he's been benched most of the time, especially when he's kept cleanies, but he's basically stopped me from buying daniels into the bargain. simpson has done the same as a fuchs point blocker. very annoying 🙁

    1. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Understand fully, as a Simpson, Mahrez and Vardy owner... switching between defenders of the same team (Simpson to Fuchs or Huth) has always seemed a luxury move I've never been able to justify this season - definitely cost me points.

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

        yeah, i know they're the better option, but for a transfer? turns out yes is the answer.

    Scholes was not only slating utd but he also had a dig at arsenal

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

      Pretty mild compared to this from last season https://youtu.be/LLGUrLXAjA0

  7. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Stumped as to what transfer to do. Any thoughts?

    Butland
    Williams Alderweireld Daniels Fuchs
    Mahrez Silva Alli
    Agüero Kane Vardy
    Subs: Hennessey Arnautovic Targett Özil
    2FT 3.6m

    I have 11 starters and 2 subs who may well play. So I can afford to transfer in a DGWer. I might try to keep the WC for after 34

    A) Arnie to firminio?
    B) Targett to someone/city defender/Azpil? He is so cheap though could be an enabler?
    C) Hennessey to [Robles?]

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

      May as well do A if you don't rate Arnie this week.

      1. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, it's tight between starting him or Alli

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

          Say you forgot to make a transfer this week, what's the plan next week?

          1. Back on the horse
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            If prob start all my spurs and lei players. Would prob play firmino at sou

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

              The order of the transfers isn't too important. Firmino could get injured in Europa etc. You could always sell Arnie next week.

    2. Fowler23
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      C for me.

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

      A looks good

    4. 1zverGGademN
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Targett > Azpi/Funes Mori

    5. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Cheers for the replies. For for thought

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

    Repost as missed out players

    Butland
    Toby A Fuchs Williams
    Mahrez alli
    Kane Aguero Vardy

    Hennessey firminho Jagelika Cresswell Payet ozil

    Used my transfer already and no funds spare, worth taking a hit? Sitting at 4k overall

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

    what are the chances Sagna starts this weekend?

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

      49.8%

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

      Thought he was a first choice defender?

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

    Is it even worth it to transfer out a player likely getting a DGW in 34 in order to field 11 this week?

    We're talking something along the lines of Dann -> Van Dijk

    1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Nonesense.

  11. Fowler23
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Only 10 players this week.
    Is Payet to Yaya or Silva worth a -4 ?

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

      Dont think so

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

      Yes - you need 11 (get 2 points back just for playing)

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

      Norwich v City will be high scoring

  12. djenzio
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    what a game tonight! delighted!!

    have to say that without DDG Utd could be a mid-table team

  13. Japan Boy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Hoping for a Norwich and City goal fest, got Aguero Sterling and Redmond

  14. the axolotl

    A woman just dropped a £10 note next to me. I thought, 'What would Jesus do?', so I turned it into wine. I bought wine.

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

      I think he would have given it to Caesar. Did you give it to Caesar?

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

        jesus could do a lot of things apparently, but pretty sure he didn't own his own time machine

    Evening guys. G2G?

    Forster
    Dier / Williams / Daniels / Fuchs
    Alli / Siggy / Mahrez

    @pug life. I was being sarcastic. You were bigging Firmino to me in the summer. You said he would be a success

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

      I can't wait to see Firm next season, seems to be really settling into England now and is looking a seriously good player

        I cant wait to see who we sign and how good the current mob are when they have a pre season under klopp

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

          I know, really exciting time to be a Pool fan it's great to see that Klopp is building something that will last.

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

      Ah, gotcha. Dunno if I said he'll be a success, just that I rated him at Hoffenheim and wanted him at United.

      It didn't seem like obvious sarcasm tbf. 😛

      1. internal error

        I thought you would remember our numerous convos about him. Obviously meant more to me than it did to you **cries into pillow**

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

          I do, but I didn't think you were being sarcastic. I had put it down to you having a poor memory. 😆

          Nice grav by the way. I was going to put El Cucuy as my grav once but decided not to because he's quite ugly.

  20. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 13 Years

    With sturridge back Firmino is no longer OOP. Right?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No such thing as Sturridge being back.

  21. janowsc
    • 11 Years

    What are the chances of Gosling starting? He'll make an appearance at the least yeah?

  22. Rupert The Horse

    God I'm drunk. What were the results tonight?

    Okay to Save FT this week? I think Walker starts as Trippier played tonight and Alli should be fine after a weeks rest.

    1. Chelsea Dagger

      seems very unlikely

  25. Dutchboy

    9 years, 9 months ago

    Who do you think would partner Matip next season? Sakho or Lovren?
    Sakho a bit inconsistent, and Lovren looked very solid under Klopp so far..

    1. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I didn't see the Spurs game, how was Eriksen? He got subbed early, so did he just have a poor game or look knackered? I am cooling on the idea of getting him for Villa.

      1. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Reply fail.

        Skrtel 🙂

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

          Skittle isn't good enough.

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

          haha. naaah Skrtel is a fraud. About time Klopp realized that.

          1. Bouncebackability
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            I didn't say I rated him overly highly, but he's been injured so guess he has a chance at least.

    2. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      be very surprised if Lovren isn't sold. he has been good for his standard, which isn't much, Sakho is far far better.

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

        If Lovren keeps putting in solid performances this season, I'll doubt he'll be sold. But yes I think Sakho has a better chance of starting next season.

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

      i really rate sakho. looks so ungainly but he's a great passer and a decent enough defender

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

        agreed

  26. CHANCING PUNT
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Any word on the Danny Rose injury?

    Not enough cash for Alderweireld so looking to bring in Wimmer or Davies instead for next 2 GW's (injuries dependent)

  27. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Sorry for RP, looking for some more opinions? Ighalo to ...

    A) Paloschi - bou, AVL, sto, CHE, new
    B) Afobe - SWA, tot, MCI, avl, LIV

    Comparison tool shows the Bournemouth edging the team stats, but individual comparison favours Paloschi.

    Evening all...

    Butland (Elliot)

    Toby / Daniels / Huth (Van Dijk, Francis)

    Arnie / Mahrez / Sanchez / Siggy (Alli)

    Kun / Costa / Vardy

    2 FT's 1.0 ITB

    Sanchez and Costa > Silva and Kane?

    Silva over Yaya mainly because of the 6 players above me in mini-league i am chasing none have Silva so huge differential, 2 have Yaya and if others do decide to bring in City mid Yaya is much more likely due to price diff...am i making right move?

    Thanks 😉

  29. Ten Season Wonder
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    If everything all goes to plan regarding the DGW34 situation and blank GW35... what midfield quintuplets will be the best to go with / or to aim for?

    I'm thinking this;

    Firmino - Yaya/Silva - Mahrez - Payet - Ozil
