A trio of Josh Kings saved the Gameweek for the ScoutCast regulars, steering Jonty, Andy and myself to respectability, despite a scattering of ill-fated transfer hits. Meanwhile, AZ drops in with his own unique solution to the curtailed Gameweek 28, as he deals a controversial early Wildcard to help prepare for the choppy waters.

The Wildcard is a key focus of this week’s episode, as we extend our recent Hot Topic to the ScoutCast airwaves, arguing the optimum time to activate the most precious of chips.

Elsewhere, we spare a moment to weigh up the “essential” status of the aforementioned Cherries midfielder, consider the recent unrest surrounding Sanchez and Lukaku and discuss the fall-out from Kane’s twanged ankle.

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

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

    Morning all, really in a pickle! Did Kun -> Kane as my early transfer and now I'm kinda screwed..

    Front 8 is:

    Hazard, Mane, Coutinho, Siggy, King
    Lukaku, Banes, Kane*

    0FT, 3.4ITB. Do I take a hit and get rid of Kane? Or play Barnes and hope for a lucky goal, like he did v Pool.

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Barnes to Deeney worth a hit. Deeney has been very good lately

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Not sure I can trust Deeney after he burned me early season. Also I like Barnes as a cheap 3rd forward in a 3-5-2.

        If I take a hit it should probably be for a non-starter. Have Ake too.

    2. Oven Glover

      Barnes and trust your mids

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah leaning this way. Then ditch Kane and Cout next week for Costa and Sanchez, or something.

    3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Lesson learnt. No point making early transfers at this time of year. I'm doing mine couple of hours before deadline.

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks, mum.

        1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
          • 9 Years

          My boy, you're welcome.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Hit for Lukaku

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Oops meant to say Costa

  2. AK ⭐
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Coutinho to Sanchez or Save?

    Both options have pros and cons and it's tough to make a decision atm.

    1. Winners900
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Sanchez easy

      Hi stranger. You know my recommendation. 😛

    Should this cause concern for those who are planning on giving Alexis the armband?

      Surely you can see that piece is pure click bait

        I beg your pardon mate. I'm hardly on here anymore, so why would i want any attention? Just trying to give back something to a site that has given alot to me.

            LOL. Actually read that article earlier today. I sometimes think Wenger just talks out his arse to the press, cause he knows they'll come up with a sensational headline and it amuses him. I don't think there's anything to their story

            1. Rhinos
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Wenger said he has a chance to start. Perfect try reasonable, afterall no one should be guaranteed to play. Article extrapolating to try create drama where there is none

    Capoue flagged - wtf. Anyone know why?

    Yes, I still have him.....

    Pointless reminder of the results in the equivalent league matches last year

    West Brom 2-1 Arsenal (Morrison, Arteta og) (Giroud)
    Crystal Palace 1-2 Watford (Adebayor) (Deeney x2)
    Stoke 1-0 Chelsea (Arnautovic)
    West Ham 1-2 Leicester (Payet) (Okazaki, Mahrez)
    Bournemouth 3-2 Swansea (Gradel, King, Cook) (Barrow, Sigurdsson)
    Tottenham 1-2 Southampton (Son) (Davis x2)
    Man City 1-4 Liverpool (Aguero) (Mangala og, Coutinho, Firmino, Skrtel)

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years

      Was Arteta still playing last year? Must've signed for City early.

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        He left at the end of the season.

      2. Abel Xavier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        retired from playing at the end of last season. Joined City after that, same time as Pep

    2. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Spurs, Chelsea,arsenal should win this time
      Pool city could be similar

      Fernando Llorente [dead leg] and Kyle Naughton [hamstring] are fit for the trip to Bournemouth. MartinOlsson"unlikely to play." #Swans

      Jaku!

  8. janowsc
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Would you bench Llorente or King?

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

      Yuck. Bench whoever you think loses the game.

      1. janowsc
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Rest of my attack is, Eriksen, Siggy, Sterling, Aguero and Lukaku...

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Sterling/Aguero

        2. sammy777
          • 8 Years

          Have you played your AoA chip yet?

          1. janowsc
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Yes

            1. sammy777
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              I'd bench eriksen. I know it sounds strange, but trust me. Spurs average only 1 goal per game without kane as opposed to 2.09 with him on the team.

              1. janowsc
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                Interesting, cheers

    2. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Llorente reluctantly

      1. janowsc
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Might be leaning to sterling...

    3. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Actually, I'd bench Erikssen.

  9. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Pickford
    Baines | Alonso | Coleman
    Mane | Siggy | Eriksen | Coutinho
    Llorente | Lukaku | Carroll
    Randolph | Evans | Gibson | Capoue

    1 FT & 4.7 ITB

    A. save FT
    B. Coutinho >> Sanchez
    C. Llorente >> Costa
    D. Carroll >> Costa

    Please suggest, thanks.

    1. Mr Q

      B

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 11 Years

      D for me

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      E. Save. I don't see what the urgency is on Costa. Am I missing something?

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        E? coz selecting A is mainstream 🙂

    4. n-doggg

      B

  10. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Get a Spurs mid?

    Bolster defense?

    Save trade and mini WC after international break?

    Heaton
    Alonso / Baines / Funes Mori
    Mane / Firmino / Sterling / Sigurdsson
    Aguero / Lukaku / Llorente.

    Jaku / McAuley / Maguire / T. Carroll

      Are you fine with Firminho ?
      Looking to ship myself.

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

        Financially he can become anyone except Sanchez.

    2. Jayv807
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      If Liv/City is high scoring, you could rake in the points with your current team. Funes Mori is a worry since he didn't start last game though. You could save and still get a haul this week though.

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

        Good call but if it's 1-1 with Sane and Can scoring and no assists im stuffed.

        1. Jayv807
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          based on history, I'd have more faith in Liv showing up for a big game like this. Could lose Sterling to Alli if you don't like having all your eggs in one basket.

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

            Very big possibility I'll make that move. Cheers for your feedback.

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'm in very similar shape and sticking, will be nice to have 2 frees for after the international break and get Sanchez in without a hit.

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

        That's true. Doing well in ML so no need to make rash decisions

    4. minges
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      ideally a spurs mid for such good fixtures. losing either Liverpool mid is a lucky dip tho since they all like to explode in alternating weeks. Dammed if u do... dammed if u don't I guess!

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

        Sterling to Alli?

  11. ol3andre

    Is this team GTG?

    DeGea

    Luiz - Walker - Azpi

    Sanchez - Eriksen - Son - King - Siggy

    Defoe - Costa (c)

    Pickford, Gabbiadini, Britos, Yoshida.

      Attack looks fine. Up to Stoke for defence.

      1. ol3andre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        The WC is active for massive red arrows last week. Anything you might wanted to change or miss in there?

        1. TorresMagic™

          • 16 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Missed no Lukaku, would have him over Costa tbh. Would spread the defence and have Alonso over those 2 if you want Chelsea defence.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No Kaku no fun lol, hide behind the biggest sofa in your house, it could get very very bad ;(

      1. ol3andre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Haha true. That could really hurt.

  12. Geevious
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    RMT please! (WC active)

    de Gea (Pickford)
    Valencia - Alonso - Davies (Mawson - Bertrand)
    Son - Siggy - Sanchez - King - Pedro
    Vardy - Kun (Gabbi)

    Opinions much appreciated!

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Nice team, I wouldnt get Aguero on WC. Get Luka/Costa instead and you are set

      1. Geevious
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. I'm taking a pun on Kun (given Costa's lack of explosiveness and Lukaku's bad run of fixture). I'm hoping MC will do well domestically now that they are out of CL

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          "A pun on Kun" - well, let's have it! 😉

      cedric over bertrand

      1. Geevious
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Bertrand is in better form at the moment, no? Haven't really watched SOT games lately

        1. liiusions
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          As a former Cedric owner, don't listen to him

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Kaku is a very dangerous player not to have right now. Benching nightmare every week with that lot, don't be frightened of holding a cheaper bench and lots of cash, you may need it down the line.

      1. Geevious
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. Thanks for the advice!

    4. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      It's different! Not sure about Davies, Rose should be back soon

      1. Geevious
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I have enough itb to bring in Rose when he comes back

  13. premierglaser
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this lot? Clearly gotta beef up the midfield. Tons ITB, 1 FT

    Pickford - Foster

    Terry - Alonso - Coleman - Mawson - Brunt

    Mane - Siggy - Allen - 4.3 - 4.3

    Carroll - Lukaku - Costa

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

      Terry?

    2. Kavorka
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      terry ? :/

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sanchez and Alli for the 2x 4.3s

    4. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Alonso->Ivanovic?

      1. My Name Is Pepu

        This

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

    Ideas on this lot?

    Heaton Jaku
    Coleman Brunt Holebas Mawson FM
    Coutinho Mane Siggy Sane Fletcher
    Aguero Lukaku Llorente

    1 FT, 5.2 in bank

    a) Brunt to Valencia/Spurs def
    b) Cout/Sane to Spurs mid
    c) Cout/Sane to Sanchez
    d) combo of the 3 above for -4/-8
    e) something else

    Cheers for any replies.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Save FT or B with Alli

    2. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Would you not look at moving Holebas to Valencia/Walker?

      I'd probably go with that. B or C can wait. I think there will go goals in that game.

      If you have a good feeling on Sanchez, it has to Cout that makes way on current form

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

        I would just be holding Brunt if I don't play him for more dead money. Watford have some nice fixtures some especially at home.

        1. Viper
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah, that's true.

          I'd go with A to Walker I think

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years

            Cheers.

    3. Jayv807
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'd go A to Valencia or Walker, you'll keep them for the rest of the year health permitting I would imagine.

      1. Jayv807
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I'd say Valencia this week as well, better chance of a CS this week against MID. SOU could score against spurs.

    6. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Cout to Alli for sure. Then i would be thinking on Brunt/FM to Spurs defender (if that leaves enough for Sane to Sanchez 31)

      A to Walker for me, although not a certain CS this week. I plan to get him in 31.

    LMS league updated
    305 teams left
    At least 55 out this GW.

      I feel this could be my last week

        • Has Moderation Rights

        8 years, 9 months ago

        Same depending on what transfers I make.

        1. liiusions
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          What you got on your mind? I'm puzzled this week, too much money ITB I think

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

            Maybe a defender transfer and various mid options.

      Morning TM! How's it going?

    3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

      8 years, 9 months ago

      Nice. Still hanging in.

      Can you tell me how you calculate who gets the boot please, TM?

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

          So % of teams on the bottom get eliminated? This percentage rises every week until there is 4 for the last gameweek?

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

            4 or equal in score. Need massive green arrows to survive in a few weeks.

            8 years, 9 months ago

            If there was no spillage, exactly 55 out this week, it would go something like :
            305, 250, 200, 150, 105, 67 after GW33. Will be less with the extras.

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

              Ok cool. Better get the C on Kun straight away 😉

  16. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Scary to see how many top managers own King.
    Something like 50% in the top 1K.

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

      Hopefully he blanks.

        • Has Moderation Rights

        For sure, might buy him as Swansea are terrible.

    2. Delhidynamo

      You should be scared of the ones who own Afobe

    1. FPL Virgin

      How about a 48 hour, tongue in cheek grav change to "blue Az" in homage to this brilliant moment of the scoutcast! 🙂

    2. AK ⭐

    4. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Money not an issue, would you do Coutinho out for a hit to:

      A) Sanchez
      B) Alli
      C) Keep

      Really doing my head in.

      1. MOUMU
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Get Alii if no spurs cover

      2. Rajveer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I would say both A and B are good options but since it is for a hit I would suggest hold...and coutinho and liv enjoy these sort of games...coutinho and Sanchez owner myself

        1. Meltens
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah really tricky, would imagine Coutinho gets rested after the internationals though, Alli would seem like a better pick in that way. However, if I keep I can assess during the weeks off, someone might get injured.

      3. SweepaKeepa
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        C.
        Would be B if it was free,

    5. Boozername
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Front 8 are

      Mane - King - Siggy - Mirallas - Antonio
      Luk - Kun - Costa

      Thinking of using my ft to do Mane>Eriksen. Am I barmy? should I just save the ft??

      1. BigManBakar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Save.

      2. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Id rather have Ali or Son.

    6. Atwood
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      You are not seeing things. I genuinely have Holgate, Amat and Rondon in my squad. Given that I'll be using my wildcard fairly soon I guess it's not a huge deal though.

      1FT, 2.4 in the bank. Any advice? Get Sanchez?

      Grant
      Brunt - Coleman - Alonso
      Mane - Carroll - Eriksen - Sigurdsson
      Lukaku - Costa - Rondon

      Pickford - Holgate - Capoue - Amat

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Play Pickford over Grant for a start.

        Then Brunt to Valencia/Walker.

      2. Morgs
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Rondon to defoe

    7. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Play Mawson(already playing Siggy and Llorente) or Funes Mori(HUL)?

      1. osceola31909
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Do we know if Funes Mori will even play after starting on the bench last week? I say that as Funes Mori owner.

    8. IWR
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Brunt to Valencia or Walker? (For a -4)

      1. Morgs
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Not for a hit, wait til next week. I am benching Brunt but got a nasty feeling he will go back to hauling at home this week

    9. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Pie eating whale eats a pie on the sidelines and is sacked. Rojo eats a banana on the pitch and gets away with it. I feel for the poor whale.

    10. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Thoughts on where to go from here?

      Heaton
      Alonso / Baines / Funes Mori
      Mane / Firmino / Sterling / Sigurdsson
      Aguero / Lukaku / Llorente.

      Jaku / McAuley / Maguire / T. Carroll

      1ft. 1.8itb

      1. AK ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        You can save the FT.

    11. Sickboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Llorente or Coutinho for this week please?

      1. AK ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Could go either way, Llorente for me.

      2. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Flip a coin both equally good and bad

      3. noquarternt
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I'm thinking of AOA

    12. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Are aguero owners hopeful for an explosive return or are you expecting a blank?

      1. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Liverpool def not too solid imo. So, expecting a goal or an assist will be sufficient.

      2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Nothing less that a hatrick will do.

    13. Moose™
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      G2G? AOA this week.

      Jaku

      Coleman Baines

      Sanchez(c) Mane Alli Siggy King

      Kun Lukaku(vc) Llorente

      Sub: Foster Fernandez Robertson Nyom

      Aguero + Mane to Costa + Sanchez -4p?

      This is hard really not sure. If it was Kane instead Costa it had been easy.

      + Sanchez can explode, the scariest to not own
      + Costa the most consistent player
      + I will get them in my team anyway
      * I'm in a chasing position, so maybe its better to risk with Sanchez earlier just incase he explodes when not everyone got him
      + Aguero in bad form
      - Arsenal in bad form, things maybe have happend between Sanchez and Wenger
      - Costa is not explosive
      - Aguero is Aguero and can suddenly score some goals
      - Mane can easily score against City, LFC have been loving these topteams this season
      - Its -4 points

      Thoughts please?

      1. noquarternt
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I'd hold off for a week. Mané and Agüero both excel v open attacking teams. This game could have a huge score.

      2. korbendallas82
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Have both Mane and Sanchez in your squad. I think that is a move not many can replicate u. As long as there is so good mid price forward options like Defoe and Gabbiadini.

    15. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Walcott dumped by England on his birthday, look no further this week for your big haul.

      1. noquarternt
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, think this is good news for him. Was class at the start of the season and everyone seems to have forgotten about him. Giroud holding up play letting Sanchez and Walcott in, could be huge. It's about time Arsenal do really well and secure 4th after the pressure of winning the league etc is off.

    16. Bruno Bruno!!

      Thoughts on my team for GW29. 0.8m itb. -4 taken.

      Transfers made: Phillips to Sanchez, Brunt to Valenica

      Pickford (Valdes)
      Alonso, Coleman, Valencia (Evans, Amat)
      Hazard, Sterling,King, Mane, Sanchez (C)
      Lukaku (VC), Carroll (Anichebe)

      Future Moves:

      GW30: Carroll to Gabbiadini

        Solid 352.

      3. noquarternt
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Looks good. Is captain Lukaku to be safe though.

        1. noquarternt

          I'd
