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.

        Just catching up with #bbcqt What the heck is wrong with Ruth Davidson this week & this aggressive & quite frankly nasty attitude of hers?

        @glasgowcathcart 51m51 minutes ago

        I'm a bit confused but did someone make Ruth Lord of the Universe? I'm utterly amazed at her attitude on the @bbcquestiontime panel. #bbcqt

          I was quite impressed by the Labour bird that was on there tonight

    I really fancy getting Tadic in but worried about game time. Even without too many fixtures he's subbed early but with so many games in April I just can't see him starting all the games, especially with Puel being renowned for rotation.

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      hes not fantasy gold that for sure but he does have 2 extra fixtures so likely to make that time up

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

        Not fantasy gold? Get Tadic at the right time = boom

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

          indeed, like the triple captain Grey gw19 no-one would do ever

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

        Yeah potentially bu with City and Chelsea before his double(s) I'm not sure if he's a wait and reevaluate at this stage.

        I'm not sure wether to double up on Spurs and get Eriksen in alongside Ali rather than Tadic.

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

          Double up!

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

            Think I may have to.

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

          probably best for now

      I think JWP will represent better value. I'll be looking at him down the line when I need to free up Ibra cash.

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

        Thanks Jarvish.

        How does this work? Do I have to join a league on the FPL site? I don't share with my ML rivals who I am on here etc. so wouldn't want to make it clear on FPL.

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Just post your FPL ID on the article - all updates are done on here - nothing will show up on FPL.

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

            Thanks and thanks for arranging.

          2. Lawrø
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            So we can't see our opponent's teams?

            1. Now I'm Panicking
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              You'll know their FPL ID

              1. Lawrø
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Okay cool. I think Smurf may have been concerned about this too (although I may happily be mistaken)

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

    Are price changes not back to happening at ten past midnight ish now?

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

      Around 2:30am these days I think.

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

      Why would they be? Did you set the clock an hour back?

  4. Magic Bean
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    So when are Southamptons DGW's? 37 and....

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

      35 or 36

      1. Magic Bean
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      We don't know yet, I think the concensous is 35 or 36, but could be wrong about those weeks.

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

    Anyone at all think getting Bavies for a hit is a better idea than playing Zaha?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'd play Zaha

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

        Aren't you captaining Alonso? Ha

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

      I'm thinking getting Bavies for a hit is better than keeping Baines 😆 Not sure that answers your question but the Rose news does make him look value.

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

        Im keeping baines. He may shine without coleman, who knows

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

        I have Baines too... :/

  6. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Correct subs/bench order?

    Jaku
    Alonso, Valencia, Vertonghen
    Mane, Eriksen, Siggy, Lanzini
    Costa, Lukaku, Llorente

    Grant, Yoshida, Baines, T.Carroll

    I guess Yoshida won't start due to travel, Grant v Jaku is a little tricky. No idea who to captain.... tempted by Alonso.

    1. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Line up is right imo. Alonso captain choice is ballsy

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      *Tries to hide the jealousy*

      Personally would go for Costa or Siggy. Bench order fine IMO - probably won't matter in the end.

  7. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Need to get rid of the bench driftwood. Feel like a premium defender for Coleman will be too much $ in DEF - thinking Bavies? Looking towards Sterling --> Sanchez next GW too...?

    Foster
    Alonso - Valencia - Coleman
    Sterling - Eriksen - Mané - Sigurdsson - King
    Lukaku - Llorente

    Jakupovic - Robertson - Friend - Anichebe --- 1 FT + 6.4m ITB

  8. general_franco
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is Aguero to Vardy for a 4pt hit worth it?

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

      no

    2. Cracked Egg
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say even money

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

    suggestion for this team?

    Grant (Jaku)
    Valencia Baines Brunt (Robertson Chambers)
    Sanchez Alli Siggy King (Zaha)
    Lukaku Llorente Costa

    1 FT, 3.7m ITB

    1. Cracked Egg
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Baines for Cedric/Bertrand?

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

      save ft. or Brunt to walker

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

        Brunt to Bavies to free up extra fund for King/Zaha to Make next week. Is it right?

  10. Ready Manager One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Davies or Valencia for Coleman?

    Leaning towards Davies as he has better fixtures

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

      Davies

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

    Who do ye think will be the face of this weeks kneejerk article?

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

      Jermain Defoe

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

      Firmino

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

      Alli

    4. Pique boo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ozil

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

        I messed that up sorry

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

      Tony V

    6. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez?

      I don't know if they go for the obvious ones - barely read the articles 😆

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

      Mahrez.

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

      Vardy or Aguero

    9. dark91
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Tadic or Redmond

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

    Surely walker won't be rested for Trippier? Played 13 mins all season?? Cant possibly be match fit!

  13. Pique boo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Would you captain Siggy?

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

      Seems to be a safe choice but he's hardly explosive is he. Might as well captain Costa

      1. Pique boo
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Is costa gonna be fit? He is still flagged

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

          Seems to always play, he's an animal.

    2. Cracked Egg
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not this week with so many options

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

      i'm on Siggy atm, may well chamge my mind after Captain Sensible

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

    Feels kind of weird being on a wildcard and including two players who are flagged - PVA and Anichebe.

  15. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Randolph
    Baines Mawson Alonso
    Mane Siggy Sanchez Eriksen King
    Lukaku Carroll
    Jaku Brunt Crouch Chambers
    £4.3itb
    A). Anything for a hit?
    B). Who to captain?

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

    Is there anyway Bavies won't start. Who else can play??

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

      Vertonghen is a natural enough LB but not very good tbh. It would involve 4 at the back, probably Son LW and Janssen up front. Not great, not great at all.

    2. Gruu
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Why Babies won't start?

  17. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on Mane and other Liverpool assets going forward?

    1. Pique boo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Big gamble

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

      I think Mane will become Sanchez for me next week. I think I willl go without liverpool players altogether after that...

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        This. This is my plan now, hence I feel Coleman --> Davies is the best move to free up some extra funds which I'm bound to need.

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

      No DGW and inconsistent. Easy to avoid Liverpool players at the moment.

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

      Their fixtures are tasty, i am keeping Mane and Coutinho for the next 2 then planning to sell one (almost certainly Coutinho) for Alli in GW32

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

      Lallana is a big miss as he's integral to Liverpools play. He starts so many attacks for them.

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

    Any soul without Vardy/Costa here?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Half the site.

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

      No Party for me. Costa, though.

    3. UnitedFan

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

      Wh are you call capping?

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

        Mane at the moment

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

          Am thinking about him as well. Everton's defence is crocked and although Holgate might prove to be more defensive than Coleman (assuming he replaces him at RB), it's Schneiderlin's fitness concern that is key. If he is out, I'd be very tempted.

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

            Yeah, also his home record and Liverpool's record against big teams

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

        Alexis or Defoe

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

          Both good shouts, would be inclined towards Sanchez more, Sunderland look terrible going forward atm.

    6. TopMarx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      neither yet, considering Vardy....

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

        For a hit?

        Rondon to Vardy is appealing tbf for you, just don't know who'd go on the bench if you do go ahead with that.

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

          yeah thanks, it is tempting, and yes would be for a hit. getting nervous Stoke will defend well...

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

    Is Tadic over Alli that bad of a move? I have no Spurs cover.

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

      Like Alli a lot more than Tadic.

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

      Get Alli

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

      I'd personally want Spurs.

      I've just decided on going for Eriksen over Tadic and I already have Ali, for what it's worth.

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

      Thanks. Was all for Alli, but getting niggling thoughts to go Tadic..

  20. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    When are you planning on getting Ibra back?

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

      31/32

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

      Probably 34.

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

      When his suspension is over.

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

      Whenever it fits to be honest. No big rush for me really. Although purely based on fixtures I'll likely consider GW32 (sun) as I'll be ditching Vardy (eve).

    5. Caleb's Kitties
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      32

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

      GW34 for Lukaku.

    7. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      GW31

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

      34

    9. TopMarx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      34

      1. dark91
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        34, unless Lukaku or Costa are injured/suspended before that

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

      Most likely 32

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

    Who should I start?
    A) Pieters (lei)
    B) Brunt (mun)
    C) Robertson (WHU)

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

      C

    2. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years

      C

  22. Lawrø
    • 12 Years

    I wish the scoutcast labelled themselves as "Season X - GWY'' instead of ''Episode - ABC"... This way we actually garner some useful information 🙂

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

      +1

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      That is a good idea Lawro
      But who the hell is going back watching retro scoutcasts anyway?

    Good to go?

    Heaton
    Alonso / Valencia / Baines
    Mane / Alli / Sterling / Sigurdsson
    Kun (vc) / Lukaku (c) / Llorente

    Jakupovic / McAuley / Maguire / T. Carroll

    1ft, .5 itb, WC and BB available

    1. Smurf

      I'd play Jaku over Heaton other than that it looks good.

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

        Infact with a FT I'd go Baines to Davies.

        1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Penalty incoming. Going to save for his nice upcoming fixtures. Why Davies? Isn't rose back soon?

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

            McAuley to Davies?

            Rose seems a fair bit off following from Poch's comments.

            1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              This is the likely move. What did Pochettino say?

                • 14 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Just that Rose was behind Kane in terms of recovering.

                  Cheers mate. McAuley to Davies looks like a nice move. Who to bench? Baines?

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

                    Yeah for sure. Bring in Davies and bench Baines seems a sound move to me.

                    Just hopefully he won't get a penalty 😉

  24. Ghost86

    Brunt to Davies for a hit?

    Other defenders Alonso Valencia Friend Amat

    No spurs mids this transfer enables siggy to Alli next gameweek

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

      I think that's a fair shout. You do have a WC left, yeah?

    2. Ghost86
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Still got WC and chips

      It's either a hit this week or next want Davies and Alli

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

        I'd do it this week. Friend and Amat will give you zilch. Brunt has difficult fixtures and a blank in 34. Davies' fixtures look really good.

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

      Brunt has Watford away next week

    4. Ghost86
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Don't like taking hits for defenders but that 0.2 by selling brunt gets me Alli is tempting me

  25. joersherman
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Baines to Davies for a hit?

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

      What's your defence?

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

        Currently Alonso Valencia Baines Brunt Yoshi

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

          No way I'd make that move with that defence.

          Can easily play Alonso Valencia and Yoshi this week

    2. Moose™
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nope imo

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

      This is what I'm thinking too. Have wedge for Walker but that 1.6m can be so useful.

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

      I wouldn't do it for a hit

    5. TopMarx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      not for a hit

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

      Here's my thinking. With Coleman sadly injured, FM out too, the defence must have Jags and Holgate imho. It's too weak, way too weak v better teams. Chuck in a hunch, I think Kaku will grab the next pen and it all stacks up to a big sell for Baines. Quite why he's being bought so verily is puzzling.

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

        There's nothing to back that claim on Lukaku's net penalty though, is there?

        1. dark91
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Only the race for the golden boot i assume

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

          It's a hunch, "Chuck in a hunch". The interview on EVE's lack of ambition, the not signing new contract extension... Golden Boot? Gone next season? Does he follow penalty order instructions now? Does he even care about the order? Hmmm...

      2. joersherman
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I agree. I don't see much benefit in keeping Baines and Davies looks a great pick. It also allows me to fund moves next week.

        Only reservation is I am already starting Alonso Valencia and Yoshi this week

  26. TopMarx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    should i take a hit?

    Pickford
    Alonso / Valencia / Olsson
    Eriksen / Siggy / King / Mane / Coutinho
    Lukaku / Llorente

    Baines 1st Sub. 6.0 ITB

    Rondon > Vardy (bench Cout)?

    or save and perhaps to King to Sanchez next week?

    thank you

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

      I think Sanchez is important next week and it'll take a lot of your cash away.

      I'll give you a scenario, let's say Vardy blanks this week and you cap him, would you still be optimistic with his next 3 games? Cause you'll only be able to get Sanchez for free if you get rid of Mane in that case.

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

        well exactly, i do like Vardy for the next 3. of course that's the gamble because this week he is a captain option... i'm not totally against Mane to Sanchez despite pools good fixtures, I'm happy with Cout. Also King could well score against Liverpool next week. it's the two after that i really don't fancy him for.... these are the questions i am pondering... thanks!

    2. korbendallas82
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Maby Alexis is more important than Vardy. If u do Vardy move now, can u afford Sanchez next round without a hit? Rondon i think u should get out anyways. Maby King to Sanchez and Rondon to ?

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

        Well i could do Rondon to Barnes to free up cash and play 3-5-2. I mean I'm happy to bench Rondon for now and play 3-5-2. i could upgrade any mid to Sanchez if I keep Rondon this week.

        i agree though Sanchez more important. Thanks!

    Guys I have injured striker, Gabbi. Which player should I choose from my bench to replace him:
    A. Tom Carroll (Home vs MID)
    B. Baines (away vs LIV)
    Or
    C. Replace Gabbi and Mane from my team with Vardy and Tadic (take -8 hits)

    Thank you.

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

      I'd go with A I think, Tom Carroll could get something from that game.

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

    Finally able to replace Rondon. If you were me, for the next four GWs would you go with your head (Deeney) or your gut (Carroll). I'm convinced Carroll is about to hit form and like that he plays on a more attacking side, but I'm worried that his injury history will get him rotated over the next three. I have no such worries with Deeney.

    So:

    A) Deeney (SUN, WBA, tot, SWA)
    B) Carroll (hul, ars, SWA, sun)

    Cheers!

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

      I'm not a fan of either options but I would always say go with your gut.

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

        Thanks, Smurf. Yeah, the mid-price options are shaky, but I've already got Kun and Lukaku, and want to keep money ITB for a move to Sanchez next week...so the mid-price third striker is probably it for me for now.

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

      I like Deeney's fixtures more tbh. Also has a future DGW if you're without your WC

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

        Thanks, AK. I still have my WC and expect to use it around GW35, so that's not an issue, but I agree that Deeney's fixtures are more attractive.

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

          West Ham definitely are more attacking than Watford, but I just don't know about Carroll. I like to favour Home Games a lot personally.

          Then there's also the fact that Deeney's involvement in Watford's goals are really high and he has penalties too, which Carroll doesn't.

          Watch Carroll get a 13 pointer as Deeney gets a 1.

    3. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Do you still have your WC if it all goes pear shaped? I prefer Caroll but I can't help but think you're just replacing Rondon with Rondon in terms of points

      1. Lawrø
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I meant to say I prefer Deeney - Freudian slip

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

        Yep, I still have the WC, and my fifth mid (Grosicki) is at least playable if he regains his spot.

        As I mentioned above, I'm reluctant to alter my price structure due to wanting Sanchez and Ibra shortly. So I'm sort of stuck with these mid-priced options.

        Any better ones out there from your point of view, Lawro?

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

      If it were me, I would go with Carroll. Also a git feeling though 🙂

    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    what you all think about getting rid of auger, mane and Coleman this week and replacing them for vardy, Sanchez and Valencia, taking a hit of -8?? also captaining vardy???

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

      Why sell Mane?

    2. ryan mata
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      because I think that Sanchez is a much better option at getting points than mane. I think he is having an inconsistent season while Sanchez gives u a Goa and or assist every game plus they have two double game weeks to come, while Liverpool don't have any. its also a way of prepping my team for the double game weeks to come

    3. ryan mata
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      that ought to be Aguero sorry.
