The ScoutCast – Episode 216 – Confessional

I am a Fantasy Football manager, and I’m addicted to double Gameweeks. It’s a confession that the ScoutCast team are all too eager to admit in this latest ScoutCast episode.

Recorded prior to the confirmation of the first double Gameweek of the season, we were nonetheless correctly counting our chickens and allowing your multitude of community questions on Manchester City assets to steer the chatter.

Granville rejoined Jonty, Andy and myself to reinforce our investigation in Pep’s charges and to add his views to the heated Triple Captain debate surrounding Sergio Aguero. Yes, him again.

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

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link or the first player below, or take in the full visual experience, pastry and all, via the second player below.

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

    IF Phillips doesnt play would you do

    a) Eriksen, Phillips to Sterling, Sané

    b) Eriksen, Phillips to Sterling, Siggy (keeping eye on next week)

    a) Just Eriksen to Sterling

    Already have Aguero.

          I think he'll do OK. Just not sure he'll do better than Alli/Siggy +4 and an extra gw28 player.

            Yeah I'm really considering going straight for Siggy and binning the Sterling move.

            I know I won't but waiting for the pressers just in case Sterlings legs have turned into chicken nuggets.....

              I think it might just balance out in the end, but there is a high points potential for Sane and Sterling that we'd be kicking ourselves about if we missed it

        This. I had both, but shipped Hazard and Alli (Hazard to fund Kun). Plan to double up Eriksen and Kane after BGW.

      Not worth it.
      Sane has very low ownership, even if he performs, won't affect much.

          Conversely, if Sane gets 15 pts for you, nice differential.

          Half empty or half full?

          Would still stick though

            Yeah true. Thinking about it that 15 would be 11 after the -4 though. Eriksen will get at least 2 so that's only a 9 point gain if Sane gets 15 points and Eriksen does nothing.

      Neither appealing for me but it's time for one of them to go, prob amat. I'd be picking someone with better long term potential than stones

    The more and more I think about it, the more I think TC Aguero is a good idea.

    Last year all 3 of my chips ended up being useless. A chance to Triple captain Aguero (in potentially his last PL season) vs sun/STO when in red hot form (and others around him in form) seems irresistable.

    Even if he only play a total of 120mins, I can see 2 goals easily, if not 3-4

        I'd be hoping for at least 15 points from both games - gives a nice 45 points as TC. Praying for a hatrick though
