The ScoutCast – Episode 219 – Evicted

Expelled and evicted from the Scout Hut, the show must go on as I host this week’s Cast from the in-laws, their best china providing the backdrop to our Fantasy Football chatterings.

While building work gets underway back home, we consider the reconstruction required on our line-ups ahead of Gameweek 30 following the cruel injury to Seamus Coleman.

Assessment of the likely replacements dominates the opening section, before we embark on another round of community questions, as we scan Manchester United’s packed schedule, flirt with Leicester City assets and vote on when to move for Alexis Sanchez.

Transfer hits also bookend this episode, as we begin the show with a conservative approach to the weekend, only to end with talk of eight points aplenty.

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

    Hi all

    Most of my team are playing against each other.

    Do you think I'm good to go or can anyone suggest anything?

    Pickford
    Valencia Brunt Holebas
    Sanchez Mane Firmino Siggy(C)
    Defoe Lukaku(V) Carrol

    (Grant Barry Robertson Amat)

    3.4ITB

    Have used my FT for Coleman > Valencia

    Any help would be great!

      Nothing that's worth a hit I don't think. Carroll to Deeney could be tempting, or Brunt to Bertrand or Walker, but I wouldn't say they are pressing.

      1. Fine Chinas.
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Giving Carroll another chance, West Ham can be alright on the road. Thanks for the advice JJ.

      I would play Robertson over Holebas, not sure Holebas will play

      1. DJ1000
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I agree! Carroll has 4 good fixtures coming up. The only thing I don't like is Antonio being out as West Ham seriously lack pace then

  2. Jimjam

    Planning next few transfers. Which is the better front 8 of these two options?

    Playing a 3-5-2:
    Sanchez, Mane, Alli, Sigurdsson, KING
    Ibrahimovic, Lukaku (Barnes)

    Playing a 3-4-3:
    Sanchez, Mane, Alli, Sigurdsson (Carroll)
    Ibrahimovic, Lukaku, DEENEY / GABBIADINI

    1. Fine Chinas.
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'd be going 3-4-3

    2. SH
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Deeney for short term

    3. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      3-4-3 all day long

    Evening all...interesting FPL show tonight. We had some footage of Chelsea's open training session. Hazard took part but, from the footage, he was definitely not getting involved to the same level as the rest - including Costa and Courtois. Very interested to hear Conte tomorrow on him.

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If confirmed, would Hazard's potential absence be a factor against captaining Costa, do you think?

      1. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe. Palace might be a tough nut to crack if Hazard isn't risked. Interesting to see Conte's reaction when quizzed on the injuries tomorrow.

    2. Smoky Johnson
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      @Mark - Armband still on siggy?

      @darth - On the contrary, Costa on pens then.

      1. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Good point on pens.

        Dunno on captaincy - tempted to leave it on Siggy but also still weighing up Sanchez and Lukaku. Very tough decision. Even if I had Vardy and/or Costa, I'd still be torn I think.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Same position mate. Siggy not that explosive and mane and kaku have early game. Currently on Siggy but not comfortable

      2. I Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Costa missed the last pen he took. Chelsea definitely less dangerous without Hazard.

        1. Lord.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Is nt there an PL rule that Chelsea don't get pens?

      3. Darth_Newdar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        They have to get a penalty though, and Hazard is their most creative player - they need him against a packed defence.

    3. Slam
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      So Costa and Hazard weren't training 100%?
      Worrying 🙁

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Costa was, Hazard wasn't.

      2. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Costa looked fine. Hazard was out there just seemed his involvement was more "managed".

        1. Slam
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Ah ok, cheers.
          Makes the armband decision tougher

  4. GE
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Pedro or Tadic long term?
    (have Costa, but will soon doCosta -> Ibra)

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Tadic (just)

    2. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'd probably gamble on Tadic. Just wonder if Moses is out, whether Pedro will get played at wing-back. Also just fancy Tadic with the doubles and his two home fixtures.

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Good point about the chance of being played as wing-back.
        Think I will do Antonio -> Tadic (-4) then.
        Will wait for tomorrow 🙂

        1. Mark
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, wait on Moses news looks wise.

          1. GE
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Would you prefer Tadic anyway?

            1. Mark
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 17 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              I would but then I'm in a maverick mood.

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure about Tadic. Like him as a player, but there seems to be unrest between him and Puel.

      3. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        What's the reasoning for picking Tadic ahead of Redmond Mark?

        1. GE
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He had 16 matches in a row before his haul with no more than 5 points! Good underlying stats, but many of his chances are from difficult angels.

        1. GE
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks, so much rotation 🙁 Now I'm not so sure.
          JWP maybe the best asset?

    3. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Tadic

    4. SH
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Pedro. I think Tadic will be rotated more in the next month.

  5. Darth_Newdar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    This set of transfers for -8?

    Coleman --> Stephens / Britos
    Antonio --> Sánchez
    Aguero --> Vardy

    Heaton, Pickford
    Alonso, *Coleman, Baines, McAuley, Amat
    Mané, Alli, Coutinho, *Antonio, Carroll
    *Aguero, Lukaku, Llorente

    1. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I would probably leave Sanchez for midweek match then Captn Him for that. Minus 8 a heavy hit

  6. Team Bobcat
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Which going forward next week on

    Sanchez King Gabbiandini
    Sanchez Siggy Barnes

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Wait for news on Gabbiadini's injury.

  7. istanbul05
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    A) Cedric and Siggy
    B) Davies and Siggy
    C) Yoshida and Coutinho

    Own Baines, Siggy and Coutinho but need to sell 2 of them to afford my Sanchez and Ibra moves next week...

    1. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Bit confused...if you're asking which pair to have, I'd say Davies and Siggy.

      1. istanbul05
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks - I'm leaning towards B after hearing Rose isn't near fitness.

        I am looking to take a -4 this week for Baines to one of the above defenders in order to allow me to make Siggy/Coutinho to Sanchez and Kun to Ibra moves next week.

    2. Smoky Johnson
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B

    3. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B

      1. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Looks like B is the favoured option.

        1. istanbul05
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          indeed. Thanks all

    4. Legomane
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Keep siggy this week then sell? Baines out now

      1. istanbul05
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        This would be for next week too as Sanchez and Ibra will hopefully be my two next week...

      Almost 42k players in total. Will probably reach 50k by the deadline so this will be a competitive game!

        Good work pushing this. Really tempted but just don't have the time and headspace to do the research. Loving that we have folk involved - would be great to see a winner.

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Would have been lovely seeing you have a crack, if not only for the banter. Hopefully a few more regulars join in so that this place doesn't go into a complete hibernation during the summer!

          Thought it was cool that a Norwegian journo tweeted about the community article earlier.

  9. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Who do you prefer?

    A) Mawson

    B) Maguire

    Surely Mawson cant keep on scoring no ?

    I think his boat has sailed and may get Maguire who maybe due a couple of goals

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Of course he can with Siggy on sps

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mawson

  10. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Ben Davies or Toby A?

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Bavies

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Toby A if money isnt a problem

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Davies seems like too much of a gift to ignore. He seems to be creating chances at will, too.

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Thats exactly what he is a gift cheapie into Spurs. Annoyed as a Walker owner that people dont need to pay top dollar now

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Not tempted to cash in on Walker?

            1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              nah ive had him since gw3. likely season keeper

              1. FPL Virgin
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                You won't be losing a Spurs wing back. I'd release the funds.

                1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
                  • 10 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  ok for cash and need the transfer elsewhere tbh

            2. Hurricane Gilbert
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Rose is "weeks away" and Dinnery & Co thinks he won't return until the end of April. If you got your WC left Bavies is a no brainer for me.

    3. Smoky Johnson
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Like a Bavies touch by the very first time

    4. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I was debating that but today's noise on Rose swayed me. I'm going Davies just to see what the extra funds will get me later. Davies' numbers are impressive and wing-backs will likely oust Toby for bonus. I still think he has a goal or two in him, though.

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not worried about Rose returning soon? I have Davies btw

        1. Mark
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Rose is meant to be behind Kane in the road to recovery. I think I'll get at least four matches from Davies which takes me to the doubles.

          1. Ryan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Better value than his team mates thats for sure. Rose seems to be a bit soft when it comes to injuries as well.

            1. Mark
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 17 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Surely they have to save him for the semi-final - they won't risk before that.

              1. Hurricane Gilbert
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Agreed

              2. Van der Faart
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                He should get minutes hopefully v Bournemouth. Kane I would estimate to be back for Watford. 4 games out of Davies actually is a great option to free up the cash.

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        This is what I'm worried about. Toby A is more likely than not to get 3 to 4 goals this season and they could all come in relatively quick succession.

        It does look like Rose has a niggling Philips/Butland/Baines-type injury which has legs, though.

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          a spurs fan was saying they look a lot less likely from set pieces this season. which is odd with eriks delivery

    5. Slam
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Bavies if you still got WC
      Walker if not

    6. Legomane
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Bavies too good to ignore with WC in hand. Easy switch to MID defender for DGW should Rose time his return.

  11. Legomane
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Pickford
    Alonso Valencia Davies
    Mane Alli Eriksen Sigurdsson
    Aguero Lukaku Llorente

    (Heaton TCarroll Pieters ASmith)

    Which Sanchez plan? Need to sell Aguero or Mané for funds (unless anyone can see anything else?). ML rivals are all bringing in Vardy for kun...I'm marginally ahead ATM.

    A
    GW30 Aguero (ars) > Vardy(c)
    GW31 Siggy (TOT) > Sanchez

    B
    GW30 --
    GW31 Mane (BOU) > Sanchez +
    1. Llorente > Negredo
    2. A Smith > 4.3
    3. Heaton > Valdes
    4. Siggy > 7.5

    Leaning toward A though slightly anxious about following Jonty's lead... 🙂
    Thoughts very much appreciated as always. Cheers.

      A.

      Why get rid of Mané at (BOU)?

    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Given my lack of a WC, the future DGWs and Snoddy no longer being nailed on, is Snoddy -> Redmond (-4) worth it this week? Can see a few goals at home to BOU....

    Jaku
    Valencia, Robertson, Brunt
    Sanchez, Eriksen, Firmino, King, Snoddy
    Aguero, Lukaku

    Grant, Barnes, Stones, F Mori

    1. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Redmond is a great punt but I just worry about exiting Snoddy vs his former club. Script is written and I see goals at Hull, too.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        No Antonio this week right? Probably means Snoddy starts but then WHU don't look as dangerous without Antonio.

        Having double HUL defence this week is perhaps muddying the waters for me... 🙂

            Once Antonio and Sahko are back (imminent), it looks quite congested - you see Snoddy starting, Doos?

              It will be tough for him, unless he ups his game immediately. Sorry for bad news.

                All good, that's what I thought. 2 plum home fixtures up next for a nailed on Redmond with 2 DGWs to follow has my interest!

      I dont' see Davies for a hit, when you have Cedric as worth the risk.

          He's on fire, it's meant Snodgrass has looked a bit lost.

      You should get extra points for sticking by Stones. So wanted him to work out for us.

      Lukaku captain is interesting. Definitely tempted.

    3. HurriKane

      boro have decent fixtures but apart from sunderland they are the second worse team in the league

      Valencia

    2. Slam

      Valencia I think.

    3. Smoky Johnson

      Think West Brom will score. Davies to cover 35% walker folks.

  19. Smoky Johnson

    Fegoe (C) option?
    4 straight blanks but scored for England. Sunderland are really desperate atm. or stick to (C)iggy?

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

      Tadic out of the two. I'm not a fan though.

      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure, good moves obviously but since Rose will be out for at least 3 or 4, maybe 5 gameweeks, I think Davies is better price wise. Also think you should not buy Valencia as I was looking to ship him after the Palace game. 0 cs in 6 for Chelsea and a tricky schedule ahead

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Alonso but Valencia instead*

    4. DJ1000

      I would go Davies. And maybe look at Vardy for kun to bring Sanchez in next gw! Depends on your longer term strategy

  24. Viper
    • 14 Years

    Very split ideology on here about the benefits of a WC sooner rather than later.

    My team isn't in great shape, and I'm starting to think that a WC this week to sort things out will have more benefits than pursuing the GW36 WC then GW37 BB. I'd say an early WC could potentially yield 100+ points over the rest of the season, whereas the 36/37 strategy mean she probably 5-6 additional DGW'ers.

    Also allows me a 37 TC, which I quite fancy.

    Thoughts?

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds like an early WC could be the best thing for you. I'm keeping mine until 35/36 but my team is in good shape atm.

    2. Smoky Johnson
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      With early WC - expecting to field 15 dgw players during gw 37?

      1. fedolefan
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He's TCing 37. Only needs 11 DGWers.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah it depends on the state of your current squad and whether you can use transfers now to move towards GW34 double assets. If you've too many fires to put out, then it could make sense to go early.

      Personally, I still look at a few hits as a first option - because the doubles present a potential payback- but then I haven't seen how many it would take to fix your set-up.

    4. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hard to say without visibility of the fires you need to put out. I agree an earlier WC can be a good move, but with more knowledge (ie when the remaining fixtures are announced on 7 Apr), you can plan over the whole period whilst still looking to exploit DGWs.

    Leading my ML by 50pts; all I care about is the next 2 gws; Most of my ML opponents all seem to have went for for the Free Transfer of Valencia. I care more about my ML than the overall ranking in which I currently have my best rank (17k overall). Thx lads ;))
