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.

      Am I actually worth taking a -4 for Grant to replace Foster?Easy fixture v boro and then city, Jaku to play week after against Swansea. Foster's fixtures turn really bad soon and this could be the time to replace with little to no risk. Really having a dilemma with this

        No. Not worth it IMO. Grant doesn't have great fixtures in the future and Butland is on his way back.

        Much better keepers about rather than going for Grant who will likely score little against City.

        Risky yes, but depends on how much of a fall you can handle and if you are well set to bounce back in Gw 28. I'm going in with just one too and I'll have 11 in GW 28. Crappy players, but I'm hoping to get a few points back then and with transfers saved.

          I don't want to load up with too many as I don't want them long term. Happy to go without Stoke.

          Only other option is to go Alli/Eriksen to Sane or Sterling for a hit, as I need to go Defoe to Llorente to generate Kun funds.

        Sterling also subbed off in cup match I think?

        Pep is a mystery but has actually been pretty consistent for a while, he'll prioritise the League so both will get enough minutes for it not to be an issue

      Heaton / Robinson
      Alonso / Walker / Coleman / McAuley / Amat
      Mane / Eriksen / Sig / Snodgrass / Phillips
      Ibra / Lukaku / Barnes

      £4.2m ITB, 1 FT

      Original plan was A) Lukaku & Eriksen > Aguero & Sterling

      But now fancy going all out on 3 city by doing B) Lukaku & Eriksen & Phillips > Aguero & Sterling & Sane. Issue is getting rid of someone with a GW 28 fix.

      Also want to do Amat > Mawson, would it make sense doing that this week?

        King(midfield in the game), Carroll, and Llorente. Wouldn´t call them "good" but decent for 28.

      What makes Aguero liable for TC so early. If he blanks then your season over due to ibra ans Sanchez doubles possible happening. Do we really all think TC is the right time? Silva could out score everything or Nacho could start the Sunderland Game.
