The ScoutCast – Episode 199 – Buttons

Jonty knows just what buttons to press.

When he slyly accuses me of adopting the template midfield, I’m visibly rattled. Leaping to defend myself, Jonty claims victory in this bout of Fantasy manager mind games and may have forced me into a hasty transfer I will come to regret.

Andy and Luke watch on, but it’s not long before they earn our attention, having pressed significant buttons of their own – both are post-Wildcard.

We analyse their Gameweeks, move to recite tales from the community and then take on another round of your questions, which finds us looking into yet another player relationship theory that will have Roberto Firmino owners rather concerned.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

        Stoke's defend is decent last week as given was not playing. Grant gives more confidence in goal but heaton way better,

        If Lukaku bags a brace this weekend (and I think he will) he will give me a headache. Him or Ibra needs to go, but I feel Ibra will prove more consistent over the rest of the season. But I need to decide whether the points differce may be worth the price difference....It's a tough one?

            Yes the only justification I can think of against Sanchez is that Burnley are pretty good at home and don't concede much. Not sure they can stifle an in form Arsenal though who on their day can score 4 past anyone

        actually I'm really happy with Williams. I think he could turn out to be great value for 5.0 which is a difficult price point in defenders this year. I've seen from highlights he's been very close to scoring a couple of times. But yes I am 0.2 short of Antonio>Wally but that's not a given for me. I may downgrade to Snoddy and do double Arsenal defence instead

          Yeah Williams is a nice player to have but it'll always be case of adding only a few more $$ to get Baines/Coleman, just like what Belle/Kos did to Monreal and Cresswell to Reid.

          Same here, Snoddy is the next player for me to target after Wally. Would give me a chance to land an ARS defender finally too

      Let's leave (C) out initially. Between the other two it's a resounding (B). Those that had Capoue got their rewards and now's the time to take the profit, otherwise you have minimum 0.4 sitting on your bench that could be in your team.

      Fletcher will average around 3 points per week if fit. Capoue probably won't beat that by much from here on in and who is to say he will get anything more in the week he is subbed in?

      At the same time, Mané is absoutely the 'right' Liverpool mid to get in my view. He's probably the most nailed because he offers a directness and pace that none of the others have. And those qualities should also help him in Liverpool's upcoming run against weaker opposition. I plan to bring him in for GW9 myself.

      Now to (C). Well, this is trickier. Sanchez is very desirable. Do you have Walcott? He may well be involved alongside Sanchez so that when one does well the other will also tend to. If you have Walcott I'd still say (B) given you get Mané and also save a hit. If not then maybe (C).

      But there is also a 4th option (which is what I am planning actually). Migrate to a 3-5-2, take Diomande as 1st sub (a better prospect of points even than Capoue) and then you'll probably find that having both Mané and Sanchez is quite doable.

      With Baines confirmed to be out I just did it. Probably not wise with the break coming up but I don't want to hold him. Losing him against CPL means its going to be at least 2 weeks before its worth playing him again. In that time he'll lose value and I'll lose any points a different defender would have gotten me.

      Can't see Burnley scoring vs Arsenal so I got Bellerin in.

      might as well hold on to Baines if he is just a week away, surely will be back after the fifa break

      Masuaku, on the other hand, will have to be transferred out regardless if you do it this week or next (due to the extent of his injury)

      I'd prob just sit tight and wait unti next gameweek, where a CS might be more predictable than this week's crapshoot

      We will also have much more information regarding injuries and/or possible suspensions

        The thing is Baines is away to City after the break so will he even get points? Its likely that City give Everton a beating. During that time he's sure to drop since its a long break and he's got that flag on.

        So you lose an expensive defender for two weeks basically and lose value. Then Everton's run becomes more difficult as well so is he even a long term keeper at that point?

        All signs point to me selling Baines.

        That said Masuaku is definitely the higher priority sale to make.

          1 counter arguement for you is that City is still not that solid at the back and he might be in the points against them despite a potential beating. If I'm so sure about selling Baines, I might just do it this week but my other prob is I'm reaching to get an ARS defender.

          How about this move this week?

          A. Baines & Antonio -> Bellerin & Snoddy (-4), or
          B. Masuaku & Antonio -> Kos & Snoddy (-4)

          and deal with the remaining defender next week. Any good?

          While I do agree that Baines fixture in GW8 is not favorable, my response was based on the assumption that he's on your team for the long run if you dished out the money for him

          In your case, however, it was probably wiser to sell Baines if it frees up some cash to upgrade elsewhere etc

      If you're playing set on playing AoA just save the FT, that's what i'd do.

      Would defensive swaps are you lining up? Any upgrades or just downgrades?

        Yeah this is true. Nobody really appeals defensively this week though that I'd want long term. Not sure LIV will get that many clean sheets. Baines -> Lovren does enable Barry & Ibra -> Son & Lukaku over the next couple of weeks though

          I think Liverpool will do alright for clean sheets given the fixtures. That said, I think I'd either go for Clyne or stick with Baines, especially if you're not convinced on Liverpool's CS potential. I know the extra money would be handy, but I can't see Lovren being worth taking the hit long-term even with the future transfers it would enable
