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.

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, plates and all, via the second player below.

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

    Is there much to choose from between Stephens and Yoshida? Is one more under threat of losing their place? i know nothing about Soton

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

      Stephens is more at threat from Caceres imo. Yoshida more safe

        Long flight Japan to the UK.

          True, didn't think of this. Generally though, I think this is the case, long-term.

      Martin Caceres is fit to play. One of them might lose his place

        I think Yoshida gets the rest this weekend but will be first choice from then on.

      Saw the Van Dijk news and was keen on sticking with Stephens before i remembered about Cáceres. Tricky to decide who to get.

      Speculation from a poster on a Saints forum re: 3 fixtures in the next week:

      "Guessing that JWP/Davis/Clasie will be rotated, and possible the full backs. Boufal/Tadic also rotated. Would expect all Stephens/Caceres/Yoshida will play twice each."

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

        Sounds about right.

      2. Back on the horse
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I've gone for Yoshida

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

    Morrison> JWP Tadic or Redmond? JWP would be nice 5th mid at price

    Whose who are considering Southampton FC players, do you expect them to start every match? They are scheduled to play 6 matches in the next month.

    01 April: Bournemouth (H)
    05 April: Crystal Palace (H)
    08 April: West Brom (A)
    15 April: Man City (H)
    25 April: Chelsea (A)
    29 April: Hull (H)

    The last time they had such a busy schedule was in December, where they played 6 league matches along with a Europa League tie. In that period (GW14-19), only three players started all 6 matches: Forster, van Dijk & Boufal. While the later one was subbed out in all but two matches.

    Minutes of some Saints players over GW14-19 (cry, MID, stk, bou, TOT, WBA):

    Tadic: 0 + 45 + 25 + 29 + 19 +73
    JWP: 90 + 90 + 90 + 0 + 90 + 16
    Bertrand: 90 + 0 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 0
    Cedric: 90 + 0 + 0 + 90 + 90 + 0
    Yoshida: 0 + 0 + 0 + 90 + 0 + 90
    VVD: 90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 88
    Fonte: 90 + 90 + 90 + 0 + 90 + 0

    Be prepared to see some changes, especially in easy matches!

      good to know thanks
      i just had to put wardP in for antonio because of costa and funes M flags. for 5m hes a reasonable asset i think .

  4. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Someone with an uglier defence than mine?

    Jones - crock
    Coleman - 🙁
    Baines - will be the only fit Everton defender at this rate
    Brunt - woeful fixtures

    Waiting on Conte in the morning to tell that Alonso has put in a transfer request so that he can move to China.

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

      What's the plan?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Coleman to anyone and play Baines I reckon. He's due a pen.

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

          Hopefully

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

          ... assuming Lukaku let's him take it.

          1. Team Cruel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Pretty sure Baines is on pens unless they are up by like 4 goals. No room for sentiments, Baines is the better pen taker.

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

              ... but with your luck

  5. Gnu

    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    This weeks quandary.

    A) Play Defoe (wat) and save transfer for Sanchez next week
    B) Antonio > Redmond/Tadic
    Any thoughts?

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      A.

    2. Viper

      A definitely

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years

      Reckon I'd go with A

    4. Lawrø

      A

    5. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I am in the Tadic camp

    6. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Play Defoe

    7. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

    8. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Cheers folks, thought it would have been closer but very little love for Saints midfielder.

  6. A Betting Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Would you still get Valencia if already have 2 premium defs? (Walker & Alonso)

    Team:

    Heaton / Robinson
    Walker / Alonso / Coleman* / McAuley / Mawson
    Sanchez / Mane / Sterling / Sig / Carroll
    Lukaku / Vardy / Barnes

    £1.5m ITB

    Thinking Coleman > Cedric, Sterling > Alli.

    Could afford Valencia but I'm just wary of having Carroll and Barnes and needing some money ITB for future moves...

    1. A Betting Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nah, I should play it safe and do Valencia shouldn't I, especially with WC in hand.

      Can't believe he's risen 0.2, that's what's annoying me.

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Might as well wait for the presser now

        1. A Betting Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Can't, Coleman falling. Last fall didn't hurt me as I bought for 5.6m.

          Just done Valencia 🙂

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hard to comment without being in your situation but yeah I think going that heavy in defense might hurt you in the long run

    3. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      if youve got your wc valencias a good option for now

    Bottomed:
    Any advice on what to do with this lot?
    1ft and 1.0 ITB
    Pickford
    Alonso, Valencia, baines
    Coutinho, Alli, siggy, mane, hazard
    Carroll, lukaku

    Heaton, negredo, pieters, Robertson.

    All advice appreciated, Cheers

    1. Moves like Dejagah
      • 7 Years

      Gtg in my opinion. Are you chasing in Mini League?

      1. Dazzler365
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        40 points off the top of the one I care about most. Top of all the rest. Still have BB and wildcard while rivals have used all chips. Really want vardy this week

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

      only the double pool stands out, not a fan

  9. bring_on _the_fantasy
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anything mentioned in pressers about walker being rested or is he all good, about to transfer him in?

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

      Can't see that happening - Trippier back at his old club but I think Walker plays.

    2. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No but there's a chance of a rest midweek. Played 180mins over the IB and there's not much between him and Trippier

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Go Bavies then?

      2. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I would of thought walker was much better player than trippier?

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

          I can afford both and I'm going Davies for that reason. If you still have your WC I would.

          Walker has no end product at all and Trippier can't half whip a ball.

    3. John t penguin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      All the experts on here claimed it would happen last time as well

  10. Batir19
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Who to bench? Thanks
    Team:
    Heaton, Grant
    Brunt, Dann, Maguire, Baines, Lovren
    Siggy, Cout, Mane, Alli, Lanzini
    Deeney, Vardy, Llorente

    Leaning towards benching:
    Grant, Lovren, Dann, Lanzini.
    Thoughts?

    In a week where captaincy is so open, I can't help but be tempted by Alonso.

    On that note, I'm off to bed!

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      This is the week to have a go.

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Alonso has done nothing for weeks, not even a clean sheet, crazy pick!!

        1. BRFC1883
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He got an assist last time out, no?

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

      (ive got it on him currently )

  12. Team Cruel

    Surely Leicester are nailed on for 2 CS? Surely?

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

      I can see Stoke maybe nicking a goal, but it's anyone's guess

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I'm just bored of doing the same moves as the masses. Time to go differential.

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

          Sure, Huth was mentioned in the Scoutcast

      2. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Stoke could easily score against them! Everyone thinks Leicester are the best team in the league again. Stoke could beat them easily!

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

          I still see Leicester winnning the next 2, but like I said, it's anyone's guess what's going to happen

      3. BadgersBoys
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Fancy Stoke and Sunderland to bag at least one against them

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Haven't had one since GW20, 2nd of January.

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

      Can't see why they would be. 1 CS in 8.

  13. AF90
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Grant/Heaton
    Walker, Mawson, Robertson (McCauley, Coleman)
    Alli, Coutinho, Siggy (C) King, Sane
    Aguero, Lukaku (Gabbiadini)

    Plan is Coleman -> Bertrand for free this week. Want to keep Gabbiadini & hope he plays midweek.

    Aguero -> Ibra next week, then Sane & Coutinho for Zaha/Sanchez in following weeks.

    Already used WC so need to plan DGW players, any thoughts appreciated 🙂

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

      looks like a good plan

  14. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Should set up a lurkers league to counteract the frequent posters cup that Jervish done
    How many pages of comments if any to qualify?

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

      Half a page and they must have entered the FFS cup, so we know they are true lurkers

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

        ... someone's off their meds.

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

      A lot of animosity for lurkers today.

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        They are off to a bad start the day is only 15 minutes old
        No fear they will come out and defend themselves anyway 🙂

        1. BadgersBoys

  15. bring_on _the_fantasy
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Coleman to Bavies or Walker?

    I have gut feeling walker is going to have a big haul soon.....clean sheet, goal & assist type of haul.

    I know burnley are tough to beat but so are Chelsea and Spurs demolished them so they are capable.

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

      Walker

  16. Isboo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Shift Gabi for a -4 or play Davies (Everton)?

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

      Gabi could be back midweek.

  17. Dazzler365
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy or deeney for the next few weeks?

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

      Vardy imo

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy

    3. Bggz

      • 13 Years

      vardy

    Question for fellow Wild carders! Are we
    A) Feeling good?
    B) Convinced your old team will out score your new team? or
    C) Just wishing you could change your mind?

  19. Judas
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Rival is 50 behind me. Has Vardy (C) this week. Do I do the beloe for a -4 hit?

    Aguero ---> Vardy

    1. Flying Nugget
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      definitely not

      1. Judas
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He also has Aguero

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

        Why? Seems logical to me?

        1. v12w12
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I would've said definitely but since he also has Aguero then probably no but go with your gut 🙂

        2. Flying Nugget
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          trust your own instinct. Never base a decision on your rival

      No

  20. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    4th time asking JWP Redmond or Tadic?

    Tadic looks good but just read told off by coach for complaining about being subbed. JWP very handy price

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

      I'm definitely pro Tadic with the set-pieces and pens. Both Redmond and JWP are good options if the savings can be spent wisely elsewhere but I'd say Tadic is worthy of the outlay.

      1. Judas

        Have you done the Aguero ---> Vardy move yet Mark?

        Im considering it

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

          Not yet - probably holding Aguero for GW30.

        Thanks Mark. Not worried about the telling off by Puel?

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

          I think he needs him. Boufal not producing so without Tadic, they lack a spark.

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

            Tadic 2 more through balls (6) than any other player last 4

      3. AK ⭐
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not concerned with his minutes? Never completes full 90.

    2. jimmy.floyd

      JWP best cheap solution. Redmond incosistent.
      Tadic looking to leave this summer.
      JWP

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

        And only 0.4m Morrison>JWP 5th mid upgrade

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Redmond just does not know how to score a goal he is too wasteful he does get himself into great positions but will just have to pass the ball to Tadic more when he gets there to finish the job

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

      I don't think Puel will cut off his nose to spite his face. Tadic is their most creative player, so I'd bank on him playing.

    5. Flying Nugget
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Tadic. I have always had a soft spot for him since his presence in my team after that 8-0 win over Sunderland

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

        Yeah, same here. Such memories. The jump in ranks across FFS during that week with Aguero and Pelle also delivering were huge.

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

        Remember how him and Mane closed out last season with a flourish

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

      I prefer JWP mainly because he's easily benchable at that price and a perfect 5th mid for BB.

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

        Yeah it's him or Tadic

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

      i just did antonio to jwp, couldnt afford tadic otherwise would have done that

  21. jimmy.floyd

    Any news on Costa and Rose?

    1. BadgersBoys
      • 10 Years

      Costa will play. Rose will be another few weeks according to the presser.

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years

        Dail Mail reporting major doubt for FA Cup semi. Speculative but I can't see him returning before that.

        1. Bruno Bruno!!
          • 8 Years

          Mark are you getting Toby as your spurs defender after scoutcast

    Costa --> Vardy for a hit?

    1. Judas

      No

      1. waldo666

        Definitely not

    2. Bggz

      nooo

    3. jimmy.floyd

      No

  23. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    How's this team looking? I know the bench is a fair mess but gunna have to live with it for now, probably do Coutinho to Sanchez next week.

    Pickford
    Alonso Valencia Cedric
    Mane Siggy (VC) Lanzini Coutinho
    Lukaku (C)osta Llorente

    (Grant DeRoon Holebas Amat)

    0 FT and 4.3 ITB

    1. A.
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Looks decent for this week, though no Spurs or Sanchez are the main drawbacks

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers, both slight concerns but not worth taking a hit for mine

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

      GtG and sound plan for next week as well.

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers GNU

    3. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      double pool and no spurs is an issue for me

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I had previously entertained shifting Coutinho to Alli or Eriksen this week but didn't feel it justified a hit

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

          yeah not worth a hit

  24. A.
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Have wildcarded this week, and got a plan in place for the DGWs

    Valdes, Pickford
    Valencia, Vertonghen, Gibson, PVA, Stephens
    Sanchez, Alli, Mane, Zaha, JWP
    Vardy, Lukaku, Deeney

    Minimum of 5 GW34 DGWers (plus Ibra likely to come in a couple of weeks time)
    Min 3 Southampton/Arsenal DGWers
    Min 9 GW37 DGWers, likely to have 13 by then to bench boost.

    Any thoughts?
    Main worries are around United/Southampton rotation and lack of Chelsea and City assets.

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

      looks good just deeney and vardy who are one bad week from being terrible options as is the way with bandwagons

  25. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Need help guys.

    A) Coleman & Antonio to B.Davies & Alli
    B) Coleman & Antonio to Walker/Valencia & Pedro/Tadic

    A right?

    Thoughts please?

    Cheers

    1. A.
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A

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

      A for me. There's also a convincing case for B also 🙂

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B

    4. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Probably A but not by much

      1. Winners900
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks guys, I have WC.

        Just feel Alli is a better option than other midfielders

  26. bring_on _the_fantasy
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    This Coleman replacement is breaking me 🙁

    Walker or Davies ??

    I still have WC but My concern is everyone behind me has walker. Sensible option as I'm leading is to block walker right??

    1. Demí
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on how set up you are to get Sanchez and Ibra back, i presume you're getting them in before your wildcard. If money is tight, then walker.

      1. Demí
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        *isn't tight

    2. AK ⭐
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If funds aren't an issue until your WC, Walker yeah. But Davies has decent stats and is way cheaper!

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Now that there is a good chance that Rose will be out for another month i think Davies is the best value way into the Spurs defense

      1. Demí
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I don't think value is important now, it's about maximising points. However if getting Walker blocks you from getting other big hitters, then Davies is for sure the way to go.

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Great chance he will outscore Walker in April imo

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

      Davies as you have a WC for when Rose returns.

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Already have Sanchez so not so bad, probably so Costa to ibra.

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

          Yep, you'll need the cash for Ibra

  27. Point-one short
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Evening all, really struggling to decide and would really appreciate some help. I need to get rid of Coleman tonight.

    Current defence is coleman, valencia, bdavies, mcauley, chambers

    A)walker
    B)vertonghen
    C)Alonso
    D) cedric and save some cash
    E) someone else ?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Flying Nugget
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Davies, Yoshida or Alonso. Yoshida if you need the cash as he has 2 dgwk's

  28. @fpl_phenom
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Have to say im struggling to see the merit in Jakupovic

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mainly an enabler tbh, but got some decent fixtures - MDawson back soon might help.

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years

      I've had him since GW1 and been asking myself the same question every week...

    % chance of Hazard starting?

    1. Demí
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Almost certain i would've thought

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

      97.4 according to FPL

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

      He will start but he has a niggle. Not sure whether he will play that well.

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

    Its been a few years since I've done one of these. But here goes.

    RMT

    Pickford
    Cahill Valencia Davies
    Sanchez Walcott Alli(c) Son Sigurdsson
    Costa Lukaku

    Subs: Yoshida Jones* Gabbiadini* Caballero
    1FT
    0.7m

    Keen to save a transfer this week, GTG?/thoughts?/RMT? etc

    1. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Looks GTG to me. No need for any transfers there really. I like the Alli (c) shout too - he seems to have slipped under the captaincy radar a bit with it being so open this week. Most seem to be looking at Agüero, Vardy, Mané and even Alonso.

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

        I think its better to go with the form players, Alli is looking in the mood at the moment.

        1. Football Weekender
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I had it down to Vardy vs Alli and was leaning towards Vardy but you have a good point and Burnley potentially being on the beach plus Alli on pens has me wavering again...

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

      Walcott > Tadic? Nothing else really jumping out.

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

        Nah, sideways at best. Probably better off saving.

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

          Sure not sideways, Ryan. Set pieces and pens. Good fixtures and will be looking to prove a point to the gaffer before he's hauled off again 🙂

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

            *Surely

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

            Walcott probably wants to prove a point as well. Gametime is just as dodgy as Walcotts so that also cancels out.

            Set pieces is a fair reason but is it enough to spend a transfer when there isn't a lot in it otherwise? Walcott certainly has better goal threat.

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Walcott>Tadic and find a better captain
      Burnley at home are not the best team to pit your captain against

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

        Not many good captains out there tbf. Can you see any standouts?

        Burnley look safe so might start their holidays early.

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          None really stand out this week Siggy on your team maybe
          Others that i like are Vardy Aguero and Tadic

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

            See, they aren't in my team. Siggy and Costa are safe bets but Alli is more explosive than both and in form.

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Alli cap @Fortress TM is bold, nice side, good differentials gl.
