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.

    Going into GW27 with...

    Courtois(whu)
    Pieters(MID), McAuley(CRY), Olsson(BUR)
    Mane(ARS), Pedro(whu), Siggy (BUR), Phillips(cry)
    Lukaku(tot), Kane(EVE), Ibra(BOU)(c)
    // Subs: Jaku, Baines, Stanislas, Amat

    Have 1FT and 0.7ITB.

    How on earth do I get Aguero/Sterling into that team?
    Do I keep an eye on the team I can field in GW28 when looking at these transfers?

      Have to keep an eye on 28, guess you have to bin either Mane or take a -8. I'd go with the latter.

        Would keep Lukaku and Ibra too, bin Kane, perhaps Pedro, and someone to enable the Aguero and Sterling transfers.

          Just seen I can do Kane + Courtois > Aguero + Grant for -4pts.

          Gives me DGW for Grant, Pieters and Aguero, and not completely ruining my team for GW28.

          Thoughts?

        Just spotted this. Cheers!

        Feel like getting rid of those three just tear's my team apart.

        Would preferably like to find a way of getting rid of Phillips + Stanislas as a way of getting in a City player. Might just need some playing with today.

      Plenty for Joe to aim at so.
      Not that he necessarily needs teammates.

      This gives me a wee bit more optimism about Crouch starting against Middlesborough.What you reckon Timbo.

    Grant
    Pieters Luiz Brunt
    Sterling Phillips Zaha Mane
    Ibra Kun Kane
    (Pickford Baines Fletcher Lenihan)

    No hits taken thus far, 0.1 ITB:

    a) Stick
    b) Luiz & Zaha > Robertson & Sane (-8)
    c) Luiz & Zaha > Robertson & Siggy (-8)

    I will be bringing Lukaku back next week and probably Siggy in for Zaha anyway so maybe an 8 pointer isn't so crazy?
