The ScoutCast – Episode 192 – Swansong

There’s emotion in the air as we prepare to bid goodbye to another season in tonight’s ScoutCast.

I’m joined by Jonty, Andy and Luke as we take the opportunity to look back on our campaigns, dwelling on our successes and regrets and recalling our favourite moments from a most testing Fantasy Football season.

We also take time to identify out lessons learned and appraise the Fantasy Premier League season, carrying out a “Chips Post Mortem”, whilst discussing the likely impact of next season’s Friday night kick-offs.

Finally, for one last time this term, we look forward to the weekend and attempt to identify the final day heroes who could yet make an impression on ranks and mini-leagues.

The ScoutCast is first aired live on our YouTube channel on Wednesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get a heads up on future broadcasts.

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

    Current team for GW 38

    DDG
    Bellerin, Smalling, Gabriel
    Sanchez, Payet, Firmino, Hazard
    Aguero, Carroll, Defoe

    Darlow, Lanzini, PVA, Simpson

    1FT, 0.5 ITB

    Any Ideas?

      Firmino probably won't play so lose him. Tadic would be the obvious replacement.

    2. Shipstontrev
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Carroll to Deeney?

    3. AFC49
      • 10 Years

      Still have my AOA as well

    4. Ten Season Wonder
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino > Mane / Tadic

  2. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A) Play both Defoe and PVA
    B) Defoe > Giroud (-4)

    OK guys, I have patiently saved it until the final gameweek of the season and this week I will be unleashing the mighty ALL OUT ATTACK chip.

    here's the team:

    de Gea
    PVA Smalling
    Tadic Mahrez Sánchez Payet Hazard
    Kane Defoe Giroud
    Subs: Gomes Azpilicueta Cresswell Moreno

    GTG? Attttaaaaaaaaaaack!

        Though Defoe might not start, at which point AOA is wasted.

        1. Back on the horse
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Ha, yeah. Honestly haven't needed to use it yet. Kind of forgot about it.

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Defoe and PvA may very well not start.

      Gtg, wish I did. Used it on Alli vs Pool and Simpson kept a CS 🙁

      1. Back on the horse

        Same could happen here. Gw 38 is a bit of a lottery

      Thus paving the way for Reus and Lewandowski ?

    3 points to the deficit in my ML. I feel I have the 'better' of the two teams but what is the consensus and if pressed, which free transfer would you consider??

      Maybe lose Kane for Long? Long could do well, less sure about Kane and even if it goes wrong he still doesn't own Kane anyway so it's a relatively safe move.

      1. bantamdave
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Certainly a consideration, as is Tadic/Mane at Southampton. Rashford certainly a thought.

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Which mid would you lose for Mane/Tadic though?

          1. Kingmasson
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Classic case of who dares wins. If he's a player you're in trouble.

            If he loses milner and ozil/barkley for Mane AND Tadic, i think bellerin will then haunt you.

            Unfortunately, inertia will lose it you in my view. You will need to show some balls.

            1. Kingmasson
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              *drop the Ozil bit !!!

    1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 10 Years

      Did you see your new CB as of next season Joël Matip's assist in the Bundesliga the other week?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty good assist. 😛

        He'll be a good squad player, I think he's had a good season but still prone to a mistake or 2.

        1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          It weren't bad at all. Morphed into Iniesta for a moment. 😛

          He's only decent but still a slight improvement on every Pool CB for me, and would give some much needed aerial ability on crosses, which they lack.

  6. Prison Mike

    Milner & Defoe > Tadic & Long (-4)

    Yay or nay?

    Firstly, not a knock on Andy and Luke when I say this Mark, but the banter between yourself and Granville being two mates playing fantasy football against one another was the major appeal for me (and a lot of others) when I first started listening.

    As it stands, the Scoutcasts are very stat driven now and as a result lost the magic of what made the Scoutcasts as good as they were.

    Maybe a removal of a certain dullard might tempt Granville back into the fold. I'd certainly welcome it.

    Secondly, while I can understand that it's probably a lot easier to rip the mp3 from the Googlecast and load that as an MP3 to use, the Scoutcasts in their current format are in terrible quality.

    Is there any chance that it could go back to an audio only format?

    If not and you're going to continue using the video format then can I ask that a bit of money gets given to the others and upgrade the audio equipment they use like you seemingly have done - watching people use headphones from an iPhone screams second rate.

    1. Ziegler1988
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I stopped watching/listening midway through the season. Not the same without a miffed Granny

    2. GS456
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Does granville not like jonty then?

    3. Fi_fpl addict
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I only started watching them this season , I personally have found the scoutcasts very useful mix is stars and 'feelings ' on players helped loads as the season has come to a close . Has made a difference to my FPL.

    4. Just A Hat
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      +1 Haven't listened to a scoutcast since Granville left, just not the same without him

      1. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Don't want this to sound like I'm having a go or anything but if you haven't listened since he left then how do you know that?

        1. Just A Hat
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          well you know what I mean, I've tuned in for a few episodes - I think it's also because the video version runs too long and then I forget about the audio version

    5. Back on the horse
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The Gaffer tapes seem quite good for banter, only heard a few though

    6. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I hear you and take on board the points about how the casts have changed.

      The problem is that Granville couldn't commit to evenings with other stuff going on (he's now a councillor having been elected) and I couldn't spare the afternoons because of running the site and business at that time.

      I guess things have transitioned without our rivalry playing a part.

      Would love to get that back but I can't force Granville to find time to play next season and be about in the evenings when he's now got another major interest going on. Hopefully we can sort something out.

      On the issue of sound quality, I've bought everyone decent Blue USB mics so I reckon it's Bandwidth causing the issue. We will try to improve that. Perhaps we will do some tests with audio only, although the YouTube version gets I've 5k views so I doubt we will abandon that.

    7. 1NVINCIBLES
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I agree that a better audio version of the ScoutCast is needed in order for FFS to "provide an experience that works well for all."

      I assume "all" includes non-natives from other continents who listen to the audio version while on the road or at work. 😀

      1. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        What's the main issue with the sound? Volume distortion and variance?

        Like I say, we all have decent mics now. We will do some tests over the summer and see how it can improve.

        1. GS456
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          First year on the site, really enjoyed the various articles and the scoutcast. Think ive spent more time on here than on my uni work.

  10. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    8 points behind my ML leader.

    Thinking Carroll > Defoe or Sturr > Kane for - 4.

    Thoughts?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't bring in either Defoe or Kane.

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Why not Kane?

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          As Jonty keeps pointing out, Spurs aren't the same team without Dembele + Alli is out too. Also not convinced they're over the disappointment of losing the league in the way they did. Newcastle aren't terrible defensively either. Think there are better options this week.

          1. KLOPPTOMANIA
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers mate. V tempted with martial those he has burned me once

            1. Yank Revolution
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              He's the way Im leaning too...(Martial)

    2. Prison Mike
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't get Defoe many are getting rid. Sturridge > Kane sounds good, giroud is also an option.

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        already have 3 gunners 🙁

        1. Prison Mike
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Shane long then?

  11. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    With Simpson out and defence as follows:

    Fosu-Mensah PVA Monreal (Delaney)

    Do I use FT on defence or hope those 3 start and cop Delaney auto

    Really want punt on forward like Giroud but can't afford unless I find 0.3m which I could if I gambled on CBJ

    1. GS456
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why is simpson out?

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        House arrest?

        1. GS456
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Thought his curfew was 22-6am. why would that affect him playing? I'll be benching him anyway

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      My mistake. He only has to stay inside between 10pm and 6am and wear an electronic tag. Still think he won't play

  12. DaveZubie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What do people think the % chance of the following starting

    1) Moreno
    2) Firmino
    3) Carroll
    4) Gabriel

    Thanks all

    Got this front 8 with 6.6 in the bank:

    Payet, Firmino, Mahrez, Hazard, Sanchez

    Defoe, Martial, Carrrol

    A Martial to Aguero

    B Defoe to Giroud

    C Carrol to Giroud

    D Defoe to Giroud and Firmino to KDB (-4)

    E Other?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Tough. Aguero is obviously a better pick than Giroud but Martial is in form and United need to win...

      1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yup, exactly my quandary . . .

    2. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Who are you benching? Taking any hits would be madness imo

      1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Well obviously I would rather not take hits--I will bench Firmino unless I transfer him out. But my main interest is in the strikers.

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Think you gotta have Kun for this week.

          1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            That's the sense I'm getting, but do you care to elaborate on why he is a better bet than, say, Giroud?

            1. Yank Revolution
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Do I really have to explain that? Besides, Gru's supposed expected pts could easily be shared or hogged by Sanchez, Ozil.

              1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Yes, you do. Aguero is great, but he blanks sometimes, and more often than not away. He has no Silva, and has not exploded recently. I completely get that he is very good, but he is away to a team that has the potential to play well (athought they often don't). I just want someone to make a good argument that he is going to explode in this particular match.

  14. KLOPPTOMANIA
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Went from rival catching up to 10 pts behind last wk to 70 behind this wk! So for the final nail...

    Ddg
    Bellerin Kos pva (simpson Reid)
    Hazard Payet Mahrez Sanchez (Firmino)
    Carroll Defoe Kun

    1.1m in bank

    Thoughts? Thinking Carroll to Kane but selling Firmino (will be rotated) for funds will only allow Noble...

    1. Cathal Cantona
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      that sucks bro, id look at mane or tadic

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe martial I stead of Kane then?

    2. Ten Season Wonder
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Identical team as me. except Mahrez - Andros. whah!

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Then you are sir a man of taste and discretion

    3. GS456
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Jealous of the double arse defence.

  15. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who to play of;

    Defoe
    Andros

    1. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Defoe

  16. BB-8
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone considering Arnautovic? Good home record, on pens and against a leaky W'ham defense. Could he be a better option than say, doubling up on Soton attack?

    1. GS456
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Great Option. 🙂

  17. exammy
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I'm level on points with a guy in my league but i cant see how i can outscore him this week,

    teams as follows
    me v him
    Ming V DDG
    Gabriel v Bellerin
    Simpson v Cresswll
    PVA v Valencia
    Mahrez v Tadic
    Kane v Martial
    Aguero v Carroll
    Defoe v Giroud

    I see his team outscoring mine easily, so what do i do?
    Use my free to get a gk as Ming probably wont play or use it for Fab to Mata/Walcott/Ramsey and bench Mahrez? Possibly captain Aguero as he will captain Sanchez for sure? Ugh feel defeated

      Mate, luck may see you through. Not a lot wrong with team, maybe kill mings

        Thanks, I hope! My options are either

        A. Ming > Forster. Play Mahrez, Bench Fab
        B. Fab > Mane & Ming > Cech -4. Bench Mahrez

      if Aguero has "one of those games" he can win it himself

    GW deadline is 2pm this weekend.

    Will we know most teams before then? Gotta practice my button pushing

    1. GS456
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No way, will you see team news and then make changes before the deadline.

    2. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…

      Only if there are leaked teams. We will officially get teamsheets at the same time as the deadline closes.

      1. DaveZubie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        That's what I was thinking

    3. Ziegler1988
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth the risk of the game updating before the transfer goes through

  19. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Turns out that chap on my flight was Sol Bamba

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Do you reckon he got home and said, "turns out that chap on my flight was Bubz from FFS"?

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        😆

      I was on a flight with Michael Dawson, ar at least someone who looked a lot like him

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Might've been his brother Andy Dawson.

      I went through security with Gomes at city airport once

  20. GS456
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Carrol to
    A) Long (but thinking couts to Tadic)
    B) Martial
    C) Giroud

    Please choose one.

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would definitely do Giroud of those.

    2. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Long

      1. GS456
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        and tadic? need to sell coutinho as well

  21. GS456
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Defoe a rest worry? based on big sams comments.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Have a decent first sub ready-- mine's Cresswell atm...not great but...Lanzini is other choice.

      1. GS456
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah mine will be cresswell as well.

  22. IWR
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    De Gea
    Cresswell, Bellerin, PVA
    Sanchez (C), Mane, Payet, Mahrez, Firminho
    Kun (V), Giroud

    Robles-Defoe-Fuchs-Daniels

    G2G?

  23. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Start Cresswell (sto) or PVA (wat)?

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      PvA could ve rested so leaning towards Cresswell although neither look great for a CS

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Don't expect a clean sheet out of either really

  24. Fi_fpl addict
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I am being drawn to a punt on lakuku , lose Defoe maybe , have aguero and carrol?

    Is it completely crazy to do so?

    Having a debate with my friend - Ronda Rousey vs Mayweather in a street fight ...who wins???

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If Ronda has any sense she just sticks a shiv in him and has done with it.

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Floyd, because Ronda wouldn't get near him.

      Ronda got outclassed and knocked out by a woman world champion boxer. What chance would she have against the best boxer of his generation?

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        And I'm a much bigger fan of UFC than I am of Boxing.

        Ronda's only got good judo.

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mayweather.

    4. KingNidge
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Duncan Ferguson would turn the two of them inside out

  26. BenjaniMwaruwari

    Dumb question alert.

    If you play the all out attack chip and one of your front 8 doesn't play do you get a defender substituted in at the end of a gw?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      yes

      1. BenjaniMwaruwari
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you

    2. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yup.

  27. liiusions

    What are people with Carroll and Defoe doing?

    1. Fi_fpl addict
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Free tfr was tadic , but I may lose Defoe but lack of options , keeping Carroll wh need to win

      1. liiusions
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I'm set on Tadic, thinking of just praying Carroll starts and benching Defoe because no one looks worth a hit

    2. Prison Mike
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably keeping and playing Carroll and shipping Defoe for Long.

      1. GS456
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Keeping defoe, shipping carrol for Martial or Giroud

        1. liiusions
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I'd be getting Giroud in if I didn't have 3 Arsenal already, no other striker appeals to me

    3. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That's a problem for me as well. One of them is becoming Giroud, unless I do Martial to Aguero.

    4. Efan Ekoku Pops
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wondering what to do with Carroll and Defoe...

    5. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping Defoe since I have to get rid of Studge for a hit.

      Have Cresswell as first sub.

  28. d1sable

    Martinez gone then....

    Going to have to keep Lukaku now aren't I?

    Sigh....

    1. BenjaniMwaruwari
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Most definitely, Trollkaku to score a brace.

    2. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think I would keep if I have him, but I think he will find a way to screw both owners and non-owners somehow . . .

  29. GS456
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Rojo starting sunday?

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Most likely

      1. GS456
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Hopefully.
