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.

    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..

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Payet to someone

      Well done on rank. Yes as you have used bench boost already so don't need to consider 15 for a dgw. I would say Cresswell to Kompany

    1. Bench one: A) Alderweireld, B) van Dijk, C) Simpson, D) Daniels
    2. A) Alli to Eriksen B) Arnautovic to Yaya C) Save

    • 16 Years

    Have 11 decent starters but also a transfer to burn. Team at the moment for GW30 (BANK = £3.6m, 2 FTs):

    Butland
    Daniels Rangel Fuchs
    Arnautovic Mahrez Payet Alli
    Vardy Kane Aguero

    subs - Hennessey, Azpilicueta, Moreno, Sanchez

    Thoughts gents? Sanchez out for one of the Citeh mids (Silva/Yaya) maybe, then bench Rangel and play AOA chip? Or maybe just stash someone for the DGW(s)?

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Sanchez to City/Ozil
      or
      Upgrade Moreno

      1. Kered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        Might be tempted to keep Moreno with dgw and fixture in 35

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 28 days ago

          Yup

        2. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 28 days ago

          That's still quite a while away and you don't have any value tied up in him so getting back is simple

    2. mikess
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      I actually think this week might be an excellent week for an AOA chip.

      It can be somewhat a let down but with a lot of players fielding a 433 or not even an 11 it might be a great chance to earn some extra points

  4. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    If you could only have one for the next three weeks...

    A) Eriksen - avl, BOU, liv
    B) Yaya - nor, MUN, bou

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      A

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      B

    3. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      I have A and I'm not currently planning to swap for B, but I would quite like B too.

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Thanks, was leaning towards A myself.

  5. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Hey DZ. If you are considering WC in GW33, is there a case for WC in GW32?

    - 2 week international break
    - GW30 planning means we don't have enough CHE for avl
    - ARS v WAT and mci v bou good too
    - LIV has a tough fixture with TOT at home, but maybe right week to sell TOT player
    - Carry 2 FTs into GW34 potentially allowing us to keep Mahrez one more week

    What do you think?

    1. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Interesting idea. Will need to give it more thought.

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Draft your potential GW33 WC team, and see how it looks for GW32 compared to your current team.

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        Yes will do that right after this weekend when we know FA Cup results

  6. Diva
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Asked a few days ago, but interested in hearing more views: Would you use your FT to bring in a reserve outfielder this week if you can already field 11?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Depends on your 11 I guess. Also if the player you bring in will be useful beyond this week.

      1. Diva
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        Thanks. I'm talking about if you have pretty certain starters, not outside bets like Targett.

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 28 days ago

          In that case I'd look at whether you're likely to use them over the next three weeks or so. Spending a ft on someone who is just going to sit on your bench seems a bit wasteful if you're pretty sure you'll get 11 out anyway.

    2. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Save - whoever you have already is probably nailed on anyway

    3. Teddy Brewski
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Only a Man City player seems worth it

    4. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Yes, if there is a chance that your one of starting eleven players might get rotated/doubt

    5. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Depends. If WC soon then yes. If saving WC for 36 then every FT is precious.

    6. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Thanks for the responses everyone.

  7. Trovsmash
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Pick 3 defenders to play, Kompany, toby, daniels, fuchs

    My plan is Kane in, but as a result i have to drop a defender

    1. Teddy Brewski
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Bench Kompany.

    2. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Ohh tough one. Pass

    3. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Komp, Toby, Fuchs

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        Leave the penalty taker on the bench? tut tut tut

        Daniels-Fuchs-Toby

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 28 days ago

          Alright., this

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Bench Daniels I guess? The other three are playing terrible teams and are less reliant on attacking returns is my logic.

  8. Kane Toads
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Is it worth using my second FT to do Moreno > Kompany I already have a staring 11 by doing Sanchez > Yaya (and I have Aguero, Daniels, Toby and Williams). Getting Kompany will give me Williams on the bench. I will probably WC GW33 for GW34.

    cheers...

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Do it if you're definitely WCing soon

      1. Kane Toads
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        Thanks

  9. Gatsby
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Bit of a predicament with my team.

    Hart
    Alder, Williams, Huth, Wolly (Targett)
    Ali Mahrez (Payet*, Firmino* Sanchez*)
    Aguero, Vardy, Kane

    Only 10 players (11 if Targett actually plays)

    Money is no option but i have no FT left.. Anyone worth shipping out for -4?
    I'm thinking Firmino, but to who?!

    Help appreciated, thanks guys.

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Payet to Yaya

      1. Gatsby
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        Why Payet?

        I like having him as differential and hes explosive.

        Firmino or Sanchez more i was thinking.. hmm

        1. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 28 days ago

          Fixtures aren't great and he definitely has another blank coming up. Sanchez is also definitely an option to get rid of

          1. Gatsby
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 28 days ago

            Cool, cheers for your reply 🙂

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Drop Sanchez, I think.

    3. Kane Toads
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      I'm going with Sanchez > Yaya. I will bring Ozil in for an Arsenal mid.

  10. Teddy Brewski
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Bench Kompany imo

    1. Teddy Brewski
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Reply fail

  11. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Is it safe to transfer in Eriksen this week knowing he played around 60 mins last night? Or do you think he might be rested?

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      He was probably taken off early with the weekend in mind. Alongside Dier he is our most nailed on midfielder

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      How likely are Spurs to rest key players when they're going for the league?

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        Thats the question.

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 28 days ago

          Not very, I'd have thought.

      2. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        This. This evening's selection shows Poch is prioritising the league

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 28 days ago

          So you confident Eriksen starts Poch? If so would you prefer Eriksen over Alli. Need to draft in one of them.

          1. Pochecinno
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 28 days ago

            I'd be very surprised if Eriksen doesn't start. Eriksen has the goals/assists underlying stats but Alli plays like a forward - I went with Eriksen a few weeks ago and he has only outscored Alli by 6 points. The trick is to have them both I think

            1. Rolls-Royce
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 28 days ago

              Hmm tough one then 😐

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Doubt he will be rested. Spurs need to get back winning again

  12. che
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Do we think Arsenal will hold the WBA fixture till GW37 if they beat Watford in the cup? Or will they play it in GW34 if/when they get beat by Barcelona?

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      If they beat Watford they'll have GW30 and GW35 games to rearrange, so will probably end up with DGWs in 34 and 37.

  13. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    If Swansea get cleansheets Williams is the bonus God.

    Out of all the cleans sheets, Williams has got three bonus points in all except one where he got two bpd

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Only 1 of their 7 clean sheets has been away though.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      One of my favourite FPL players. Dull as hell though.

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        I wouldn't say dull necessarily when he's usually a leader for headers on goal

    3. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      big troll. benched him for his two goals

  14. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    If you had to pick one (primarily for this week)...

    A) Arnie
    B) Shaqiri
    C) Ritchie

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      A

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      B

    3. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      C

    4. oghash
      • 10 Years

      b

  15. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Been a lot adventurous this season in attack. Apart from the usual template guys ive taken punts on these guys(5 or less games)

    Walcott/Ramsey,Ayew/Gomis,Depay/Rooney/Martial,Benteke/Coutinho,Silva/Yaya, Mane/Pelle, Barkley,Hazard,Ighalo

    Some worked. some failed but atleast wasn't a complete dullard. Siggy would be my next short term punt

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Does Siggy count as a punt? Seems a nailed on great pick atm.

  16. Pochecinno
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    I have 1FT. Is Arnie to Alli a waste of the FT seeing as Alli does not have a DGW?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      A little bit too sideways, especially if you already have Eriksen.

    2. oghash
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      I wouldn't imo. Who is your grav?

  17. Alittude
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Do I do sancheZ to silva even if I want Sanchez back in the next two weeks?

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      No. If you're buying him back

      1. Alittude
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        Only other option is ozil who I have a lot of value in, or Dawson to a playing defender this week. Any idea who?

        1. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 28 days ago

          Don't see the appeal in Sanchez. Keep Ozil. Dawson's fixtures turn nicely

          1. Alittude
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 28 days ago

            Thanks mate your right Dawson will be handy in he next two after this week

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Nah, not if you're sure you'll want him back.

      1. Alittude
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        I held him for his dry spell so don't want to miss out on his explosions which I feel will come soon

  18. Colonel Klink
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Need one defender for draft league:

    Danny Rose (will he be fit? Davies played at Dortmund)
    Ben Davies
    Angel Rangel
    Janmaat

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Rose

      1. Colonel Klink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        Cheers. That's actually who I've picked, but I keep checking news sites to see if he's been given the all-clear. I think he'll play...

  19. kumast

    Costa not dropping tonight is he?

      Cheers Puppy, gee Ozil held on for so long, I spose it was inevitable though

      • 12 Years

      Daniels, son of Baines rises again 🙂

      1. Diva

        Will drop back again in GW31 I wonder with tot and MCI up next?

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 28 days ago

          Maybe, he could still bag a penalty against City.

      Daniels is the one that got away for me this year. I blame Francis and my unwillingness to double up

    B) save ft and play targett with no subs and hope they all play

    Alright., my options are down to these to this GW. Which one would you prefer keeping in mind i'm chasing a big lead.

    Payet+ Khazri->

    A) Siggy + Alli (Most have Alli in my ML)

    B) Eriksen + Ritche/5.7

    Cheers.

      Considering B myself but I have Siggy already. If I didn't then I would definitely be going with A.

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Hard to look past A.
      Ali and Erik both good options but sight well ahead of Ritchie

        True, but Ritche in form too. But seriously need to find some light in the darkness.

    This weeks captain choice is the hardest of the season for me

    Kane , Aguero , Vardy all have their merits and worries

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      True, all can easily explode, up against three of the worst defence in the league.

    Ozil and Lukaku out

    Kane and Silva in

    Final team for gw30:

    Forster
    Toby Fuchs Kompany
    Silva Mahrez Alli Siggy
    Kane Kun Vardy

    A bit hesitant with 9 players in only 3 teams but Im hoping to make up some ground (70 pts) on my ML leader.
    First guy has 6 players out and third guy, only 10 pts behind has 7 players out. I see hope
