Regrets come hand-in-hand with Fantasy Football – if you get through the season without one, you’re either extremely fortunate or you just don’t care enough. Either way, you’re unlikely to be reading this.

Most of us of come to terms with them, have learnt to ride them out and plough on regardless but, even I’ve got to admit, Alexis Sanchez’ Gameweek 14 stung a bit.

Thankfully, with Sergio Aguero harbouring his own regrets, my path to sheepishly welcome Sanchez back into the fold is signposted rather clearly.

The Sanchez wounds and the Aguero fall-out dominate this week’s ScoutCast, which also marks a debut for moderator and long-time community member AZ. He steps in with Granville tangled in political red tape to join Jonty, Andy and myself for a lengthy and lively episode.

We gripe about the volatile market, quiver in fear at the idea of the “Titan teams” and, of course, preview the weekend with a scattering of statistics, speculation and pure guesswork.

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

      Wash your mouth out with soap! Some of us are praying for Amat CS

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Amat and CS should never be used in the same sentence.

    2. :

      Swansea will beat Sunderland. Hope this helps.

    4. Moosie the Staggie
      • 14 Years

      Firmino or Costa

  3. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Captain Hazard or Defoe?

    1. Skyarm
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard surely

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Is this a trick question?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Swansea makes no tricks.

        1. RubeRx
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Defoe still plays for Sunderland though, they won't thrash anyone

          1. Sharpe Shuffle
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Does 3-0 v Hull count?

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm currently on Hazard. I don't own Defoe but that wouldn't change anything.

      1. CREAM
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        WBA are on form, Swansea are shocking and defoe on form...

        1. Spg76
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          They might on form but have struggled with clean sheets. We all have at least one gk or defender from West Brom and we know defenders can score but clean sheets they have struggled

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Unfortunately they always to to let in that single late goal. Have been unlucky at times.

            If you can bench/rotate for GW 15, 17-19 and 21 long term fixtures are pretty decent until gw 27.

            McAuley for example isn't even the worst to play in the tough games, as I would assume Pulis will continue to try and get any goals primarily froms set pieces.

    4. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Alexis

    5. James101

    Iheanacho or Origi

    1. Canary_Kid
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Have Can and no City players if that matters.

    2. CREAM
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I was torn, went nacho purely because he plays for city

      1. Canary_Kid
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks! Might go Origi just cause of Pep's rotation.

        1. CREAM
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          yeah but you have Sturridge rotation at the cop

          1. Canary_Kid
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I guess but when is he back?

  6. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is -16 for the season bad so far? Took a -4 this week & GW 7 along with a -8 in GW 13. Just above the 100k mark for a rank.

        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Same. Unreal. I sold him last gw for cedric as it looked like Fuchs was dropping and cedric rising. 8/9 days later and he's still holding on.

      Damn. Had the trigger on Defore but stalled.

    8. Misery Loves Kompany
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling now 7.7? Scary cheap if he can find some form again and nail down some back to back starts. I wonder if the next 4 weeks could see more of him...

    9. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks. Everyone is going to get a nice 0.3 tomorrow night.

        Oh woops, didn't see Alonso already went up. Cool.

      Some erstwhile popular picks in freefall.

      Shifting sands.

      1. Misery Loves Kompany
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Erstwhile has always been a somewhat favourite word of mine, one I nowadays seldom use, to my discredit.

        Bravo, squire.

        Ahh Diomande. Might need to trade you next week man. 🙂

      • Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years

        Who is buying Hendo? Come on, admit it

    12. James101
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Does Ake keep his place now?

    13. Spg76
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Joe Allen is not nailed right?

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Correct

      2. :
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Not "nailed" as such but will play the vast majority of games. He may be many things but Hughes isn't blind.

        1. Spg76
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          He's first sub this GW

      3. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        He is very nailed

    14. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin ! 🙁

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Already taken a hit this week , so early thoughts are bench him this week and maybe have a Carroll punt next GW
        Can see how bad Austin injury is and gives the ponytailed one time to get match fit

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Just when I though I had dodged Coleman and Heaton injuries and could transfer. I am thinking the ponytail now. Was going to go -4 for him next week anyway.

    15. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      First hits of the season and I feel fine.

    16. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Damn. Alonso up again. Think I'm going to rue not bringing him in.

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Kind of feel we are too late to the party with that one now... Scary not having him though.

        1. Lizard Lips
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I'm considering a -8 to bring him in and Anichibe! Means playing those 2 instead of Pieters and Fletcher so could recoup the hits straight away only thing stopping me is how long would I want Anichibe for!

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Just not that fond of having Anichebe up front. I know it is "just" a hit or two to get him out, but at that price you don't have a lot of flexibility.

            Alonso is a great option yes, but 6.3m for a defender is a lot. 1.5m-ish more than other good long term options as Cedric, McAuley etc.

            Could be a big mistake, but I am trying to go without him.

            1. Lizard Lips
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              I'm going without as well, I think! For the same reasons. Can't bring Anichibe in as he could turn sour at anytime! Just hope Chelsea conceed. Concerned Alonso has a few double digit scores in him over Christmas 🙁 !

              1. Licious Lizard
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                Exactly.

                Yeah they probably will although West Brom, Sunderland and Palace all pretty good attacking form at the moment, so hopefully it won't another run of back to back clean sheets for them.

                I basically decided to go without him until GW 25 if I ever want to bring him in.

      2. Shultan
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Me too, i just couldn't bring myself to do koscielny to alonso for a hit!
        Knowing my luck arsenal will concede whilst alonso gets clean sheet & assist/goal

        1. bigbudgie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          could easily be the other way around. Defo not worth a hit this week
          I just know if I sell Kos Arsenal go on a run of clean sheets and Chelsea start to look less solid. Still think it's worth it for Alonso attacking potential.

      3. bigbudgie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Kos > Alonso for me next week

      4. Misery Loves Kompany
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Still time to get on board... he's 6.3... look what that gets you in comparative Arsenal or Spurs cover and you'll see he's still good value.

        Also I don't quite know how but he's still owned by less than 7%?!?

        Barring injury he'll be nudging >7.0m by the end of the season and possibly the highest scoring DEF in the game, imo.

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I agree he will be one of the top scoring defenders if he keeps this up.

          Just thinking if you can spend the money better elsewhere with two good rotating 4.5m defs. It is almost a Zaha -> Siggy for example.

          Not saying it will pay off, but I think a lot of people who missed the 6 straight CSs have a feeling they missed the boat. Illogical, but finding the money to bring him in is tough - especially for people like me who have had Coutinho, Aguero and Austin replacements to deal with.

        2. Misery Loves Kompany
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          One goal (and he has been close on more than one occasion!) and with associated bonus, he'll more than likely top the DEF rankings...

          Once that happens and he ends up on the casual radar... you just watch that price go into orbit. THEN it will be too late.

          Season keeper for me.

        Latavius Murray is my main man tonight.

        1. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Those short yard TDs are really good for my fantasy team, seems like he's getting way more touches recently too.

          1. Jay_
              9 years, 4 months ago

              I've got him first TD 7/1 and anytime TD/Raiders win 4/1.

              1. Jay_
                  9 years, 4 months ago

                  Don't play Fantasy, will defo make a team next year.

                  Would be great if he rips off a 70 yarder right here.

                I am thinking Defoe for the long term for Austin. This mean it will be harder to shoehorn Sanchez into my team.

                Heaton
                Alonso / Cedric / Pieters
                Hazard / Sigurðsson / Snodgrass / Firmino
                Costa / 10.5** / Kane

                Pickford / McAuley / De Roon / Friend

                Right-o, here's my WC team as it stands now, please bear in mind my TV/SV was atrocious so have had to make sacrifices.

                Have 0.2 ITB and contemplating further moves, being that I now have Anichebe should I get Can in for a my fifth mid instead of Capoue? Any thoughts most welcome.

                Foster Jaku

                    Would 100% get Can in for Capoue. Nice team, maybe get rid of Foster? Nice team.

                        And Surely Pickford over Jaku? If that means you can't get Can though, just go Pickford and Grant and forget Foster

                          I had toyed with that combo a few times during the week, could be the way to go, thanks again

                        Thanks Jay, yeah WBA's upcoming fixtures aren't the best, could move to Heaton

                      Capoue to De Roon for extra $$$

                      Don't go with Anichebe he is a disaster waiting to happen.

                      Jaku won't be playing much and is a good idea to have a good back up keeper.

                        Just did Austin to Anichiebe right now, was my only viable avenue to Hazard

                      Can for Capoue defo

                      Looks very decent.
                      Personally I would just get De Roon for 4.3 instead of Capoue and bank the cash

                        Allows for a possible switch from Siggy/lallana to the 8m mids should the need arise

                          That too.....a big watch on Mkhitaryan over the next couple

                        Yeah could be handy and would leave enough ITB to transfer Costa to Ibra if he gets a 5th YC, that would probably mean playing Anichebe every week though

                      Looks good.

                      Lose Jaku and Capoue for Pickford + De Roon/Fer/Matic/Can.
                      Also not sure if Amat + Ake is too much of a risk at the back.

                        Yeah defintely a bit of a risk there, Amat seemingly nailed again but who really knows

                              The commentator on BT (not sure who) said he played with him in a game once when it happened, he popped it back in and carried on.

                            Ha bigbudgie I don't even own Austin, it will be fun what people do. If they take another hit, I will surely rise with no hits .

                          Austin could miss 5+. Based on his history, he's likely to be out for a few weeks, and fixture congestion is heavy now.

                        Why do I still think Firmino(C) could be grand? Flipping between him and Costa.

                          I have a feeling about Firmino this week but I'm not brave enough. Going with Defoe instead.

                          After everyone buying him in, Sanchez blank is almost inevitable

                            Goals imminent table, free scoring attack v terrible defence. Top 3 on the poll up against tight defences. Everything logically would say Firmino, except the main thing, form. Could be a massive green if Stoke and WBA shut out. Imagine the buzz on the last game Sunday watching him get a haul as your Cap, after all the favourites already failed.

                              Cheers Jay. On a -8 so not sure a maverick C is prudent But no one in top 5 of ML own him so it's a massive differential for me

                          So, all you unlucky Austin owners, who are you getting to replace him? Origi? Iheanacho? Defoe? Switching to 3-5-2? And what's the long-term plan if you go 'Nacho or Origi?

                            Actually thinking Carroll 🙂

                              Would be a nice differential if it works out. I was thinking that if I owned Austin the injury would be a nice excuse to punt on someone else - he hasn't exactly been lighting it up.

                                Yep. Feels like a big punt, but I think it couldd pay of with those fixtures is he starts regularly. and at 6.1m .

                                Austin has been a bit disappointing, but I was expecting him to flourish a bit with the upcoming fixtures. Probably not relevant now though :/

                            I went Anichebe but mainly as an enabler for Hazard otherwise I probably would have went for 'Nacho

                          I bring Nacho in! He won't score any goals. I'm pretty sure about it.

                          A) Diomande>Iheanacho for free
                          B) Save transfer for next week?

                          Pickford [Boruc]
                          Koscielny Walker Lovren [Smith Amat]
                          Sanchez Firmino Pedro Allen [Marney]
                          Kane Costa Iheanacho

                          I have 2.1 to spend, probably to replace Allen

                          Ideas?

                            I'd actually go Kos->Alonso

                            Antonio or Lallana could be decent with their fixtures.
                            I would maybe save and reassess next week as we don't really know how nailed Pedro is

                          Best defender up to £5.2m?

                            Horrible price range.
                            Cedric/Lovren at around 5.0
                            Phil Jones at 4.7

                            Cedric by far imo

                          It's either Defoe (C) or firmino (C) over costa,sanchez,hazard for me

                            I went Defoe last week. Did ok. Horrible GW for me tho! 🙁

                          Origi vs Nacho. Both are lottery? Correct?

                            Yep both could be boom or bust.

                            I would if you can play a decent defence without him for the next few weeks.

                            The way Mid defend I'd say yes
