The ScoutCast – Episode 221 – Spurred

Despite reeling from shedding Son Heung-min prior to his 19-point haul, I can’t avoid acknowledging that Spurs are currently the go-to source for Fantasy talent – particularly now that Harry Kane is back in our lives.

Jonty, Andy and Az join me for this week’s ScoutCast, which transforms into a tribute to Kane’s Gameweek 33 potential, with the striker enjoying a far different appraisal to his rival across north London – Alexis Sanchez.

With three successive blanks, the Chilean is burning many a Fantasy manager, and, once again we use the airwaves to vent our frustration.

Elsewhere, on the eve of the double Gameweek announcement, we chew over the offerings on show at Palace and Southampton, before rinsing through the weekend preview, with GreenWindmill keeping score.

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

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

    Gtg?
    Should I change and play Jaku?
    Rest of bench order ok?

    Heaton
    Alonso Valencia Davies
    Hazard Alli Siggy Zaha
    Kane (VC) Kaku (C) Deeney

    Jaku Sane Stones Lenihan

    Thanks

    1. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Might be tempted to play Sane over Deeney. Just not a fan of that guy.

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

        Yeah on he piss all night tends to lead to fatigue I have found myself 🙂

        Deeney is definitely more of a punt. Thanks.

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I would play Sane Stones Ahead of Deeney Valencia

      Thanks I got a bit confused with the fixtures. Sane might be better alright.

    Need a defender for next 2 weeks

    Can't decide between Wardinho or Gibson

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Both?

    2. Son of Rambo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ward

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

    Gibson or Barragan ? Worth it to keep some cash handy ?

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Gibson for sure out of those

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

        This

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

      Fabio should be back after concussion protocol. 'Should be'. Can't understand why he's still flagged.

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

        I agree with this. I have him and he's red flagged yet due back 17th April. All very vague.

  4. Son of Rambo
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone considered a Lukaku- Benteke- Kane frontline? And no Ibra for DGW 34

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ibra should outscore tekkers plus he will be most captained so Going for Ibra -Kane- Lukaku

    2. SUPER MOKH
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Here!

      Grant
      Alonso - Valencia - McAuley
      Hazard - Alli - Zaha - Siggy
      Benteke - Kane - Kaku

      Foster, Gibson, Maguire, DeRoon

      But it will be based on this GW performance. It will be either of those:

      A. Kaku - Ibra (Ibra scoring and Kaku otherwise)
      B. Foster - Valdes (Ibra not scoring)
      C - Both for -4

      A - Will have 6 DGW players in GW34 with Ibra
      B - Also 6 DGW players GW34 with Valdes
      C - 7 DGW players in GW34

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

    Is Crouch & Sanchez > Kane & Millojevic worth the -4?

  6. Pierce34
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Should I give Brunt a last hurrah this week before I ship him out for his blank, or play AOA?

    (no weak links in front 8, cheapest will be Zaha/King)

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      brunt to Ward and bench King I think without seeing the whole team

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Would be for a -4 after I bring in Zaha for Carroll.

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          yep I know. could work OK imo

          1. Pierce34
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks.

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

      So, it's Brunt v King. Would play Brunt. Fair chance of getting points against Pool.

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. I guess it's partly because I want to play the AOA chip just for the sake of it, can't let a chip (even a rubbish one) go to waste!

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

          GW38 for the AOA. Always loads of goals and defenders are often on their holidays already.

          Wish I had mine still for it.

          1. Pierce34
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. Only reason I wasn't considering it was the inevitable rotation for teams already on their holidays, so I wouldn't necessarily expect all front 8 to play.

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

          Play it in GW 38. I regret wasting it. Gained 1 point from it. Could come useful in 38, if there are rotations.

          1. Pierce34
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks - still 1 point gained is more than the points I lost when I played it last year!

            1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Someone in my ml lost 14 points as he benched Dawson vs Arsenal 😛

              1. Pierce34
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Yup, that chip is a complete lottery.

                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  We need a two captain chip or a free transfer and 0.1 million free with it

  7. pls

    hey guys bit of a dilemma need to get rid of mahrez and llorente and also want kane but already have all 3 spurs which would you do?

    A: walker, mahrez, llorente ----> gibson, zaha, kane (-4 and leaves me with alli eriksen and kane)

    B: mahrez, llorente -------> countinho, gabbiandini

    C: mahrez, llorente -------> zaha, costa

    D: mahrez -------> coutinho (keep llorente)

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years

      A

    2. birdnose

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

        Uh... A

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

    Wilcarded as nearly all of my ML already have so no need to wait:

    Valdes
    Gibson jagielka sakho
    Alli Erikson coutinho king
    Kane ibra lukaku

    Pickford zaha holgate stephens

    0.1 itb so could go sakho -> pva?

    Any suggestions would be welcome, thanks!

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

      Save the transfer if you've used the wc. Team looks decent

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

      Sakho to Ward (Sakho can't play against Liverpool in their DGW).

      Two Everton defenders when they don't have any double game weeks seems unnecessary.

      I'd start Zaha over King this week.

  9. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth an AoA in order to play Llorente instead of Valencia? other defenders are Maguire and Amat

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      35 WC
      36 TC
      37 BB
      38 AOA

      Chips Galore 😛

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

      I think Valencia will play against Chelsea. JM will field his best 11 and won't want to lose to them again.

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He just said 'Valencia can't play every week', seems pretty ominous to me

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

          Well yeah, meaning he might not play other weeks

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

      AoA

    4. Aubaaaaa
      • 7 Years

  10. MrFlibbles
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Whats the deal with Walker - Is he going to play this week ?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He better...

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

      He should, but it's not entirely out of the question that Trippier has usurped him in the lineup. I'm seriously considering cutting him loose for Ward or Gibson to free up funds to get Benteke.

      1. Angin out the Begović
        • 11 Years

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      out of Chambers Fabio and Him he has the least chances to be fit .

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      This! I've been waiting for ages... Would be nice if he could be fit for the DGW

  13. LONG LIVE ZOLA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha in for Siggy a good move?

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

      Doesn't seem necessary this week, to be honest.

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes I did the same thing this week to enable vardy to kane,im not sure If u should do it for a hit but for a ft looks good

      1. LONG LIVE ZOLA
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        no hit just a ft

      Is Walket out?

      1. Corona Macallan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        No have Vertonghen already and walker isn't starting every game

  16. nonprophet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Pictures of Gabriel Jesus at training. It is Easter so can we expect Jesus to rise... Surely not before arsenal semi final

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

    A) Play Valdes over de gea this week?
    B) play yoshida at home to man city or barragan at home to arsenal?

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

      Valdes
      Yoshida

  18. Squashed
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    have Gibson, Alderw, holgate, ake
    looking to move walker out to facilitate kane. have Alli

    walker to Bailly
    or
    walker to PVA. - if PVA doesn't play i have holgate to give me 2 points min.

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

      Bailly

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

      Can you wait til after man utd game? If they lose to Chelsea I can see them resting Valencia and bailly. If they win, or draw and other teams slip up, you'd know for certain that way. Could wait til after the Europa game too

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

        i really dnt think bailly will be rested. gosh he was out for quite abit during the season. i would consider that as a rest. Valencia is over worked, rest came no surprise and so many games has finally taken a toll on his body.

  19. Live Lad
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Already have DDG, Gibson and Zaha. Will take -4 hit to get Ibra +
    (1) PVA
    (2) another Boro defender (maybe Branagan)
    (3) another Man U defender (Rojo/ Bailly)
    (4) Mkhi
    Which one should I get? Thanks!!

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

      im stuck with either 1 or 3 - bailly

      im leaning towards 1.

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

      I'd go 2. It's cheap. I got him in, and he played wing back last week

  20. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Hopefully Chambers, Fabio and Friend are still not fit enough to play, they can get fit for GW35... 😛

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      the thing is With those players back Boro's defence becomes more strong that means more chances of keeping Cleanie and getting points. Current defence not good enough that means Gibson may well be a disappointment afterall. Them coming back is good for all

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

        Well, I want 2 games out of Bernardo... All those players returning means I wont get anything even if they keep double CS 😳

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          fair enough. Apart from Gibson everyone is a risk atm

  21. ady007

    Guys what's the best time to play the WC, bench boost and all out attack ! I have all three left and I am confused which to use when? Pls help

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

      Wc 36, bb 37, aoa doesn't really matter

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

      WC 35, BB 37 and AOA when necessary

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

      WC whenever team is in mess
      BB when Bench is good
      AOA when not enough defenders to play
      TC in any of the double

  22. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Play 1
    A) Anichebe (WHU)
    B) Brunt (LIV)
    C) Holebas (SWA)
    D) Valencia (CHE)

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

      D

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

      c

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

      A

    4. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      all are 2 pointers at best so doesnt matter probably A or C and hope for attacking returns

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

        Thanks

  23. BilalM
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this wildcard

    Pickford/Valdes
    Jags Mustafi Stones Davies Simpson
    Coutinho Sane Walcott Zaha Redmond
    Ibra Kane Deeney

    (1.1 itb for getting in a chelsea player later if needed)

    XI for this week would be

    Pickford
    Jags Davies Mustafi Stones
    Walcott Coutinho Zaha Sane
    Ibra Kane (c) Deeney

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

      Where are you Spurs mids?

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

        Is Kane fit enough to start this weekend?

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

      I would get Alli/Eriksen over Walcott and Benteke over Deeney if possible

    3. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      yeah I would WC this team

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

        lol you mean this wildcard isn't good enough?

  24. OzilFozzil
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Should I get rid of:
    a) Ben Davis (-4)
    b) Son (-4)

    To get Kane in?

    Or just hold and watch the Spurs game from behind my couch?

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

      I would hold on

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐

    I took both Rashford and JWP on a WC and I've rotated them successfully this past 3 GWs (luck played a major roll as well). Now comes the tricky fixture. Who do you play this week?

    a) Rashford (CHE)
    b) JWP (MCI)

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Rashford to benteke for a hit and Play him

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

        Benteke could do ok but last 5 Palace victories he scored
        2, 1, 2, 10, 2

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          think he can do 4 better than Rashford and JWP for the time being is the logic 😉

      2. b✪mber

        I'm keeping Rashford in case Mou decides to rest Ibra in GW34 (I got a bad feeling for the Burnley game). Gonna play both Ibra and Rashford in 34 and than offload the youngster after 34. So I gotta play 1 of JWP and Rashford this week.

          I think I'll play JWP

          No way Mou rests Ibra... burnley away is a tough fix... you can hope that he starts both

            Yeah, everyone thinks Ibra will play trough it all, but if MUs chances for 4th get damaged by Chelsea this week I think that the probability for Ibra to be rested vs Burnley goes up.

    Kun ---> Kane -4? i have Ali

      If Kun scores 1 goal and max baps you're looking at Kane needing 13pts to break even. I kept Kun and did Ibra>Kane for free and already have Alli and Eriksen

        Navas will get max baps...

      C if you have WC

        7 years, 2 months ago

        No WC 🙁

        Basically decision is whether Kane is essential, and if so - who to drop between Sanchez and Aguero

          • 7 Years

          what is your gut? do that .
          I personally would do A if no other option

            Rival has both Sanchez and Aguero but has Triple Spurs so won't have Kane...I just still expect Kun to get a goal at Soton tho

          I have decided to drop Aguero, not sure if below reason makes sense or not! 😳

          Dont want Aguero for his double anyway whereas I MIGHT want Sanchez for his double if he gets back to his best position. So better to drop Aguero this week, assess Sanchez in next 2 and make the decision on his future, plenty of options in midfield, wont be an issue to find his replacement anyway.

            Valid points.

            I think I'll go with Kun>Kane then.

            Thoughts on Lanzini >Zaha worth (-4)?

              Toughie... Sunderland are in mess and Lanzini is WHM's key player. Think I would keep him.

    Wondering if I should
    A) hold and sort out next week for DGW with 2ft
    B) nyom to Baragan(4.4) and bench Stephens.
    C) any other suggestions
    Plan to WC gw 36
    1ft .1itb
    Jak
    Alsonso-Valencia-Stephens
    Sanchez-Alli-Erikson-Zaha-Coutinho
    Ibra-Lukaku

    Pickford-Nyom-Anichebe-Love

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

      Good enough to save FT

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

        Yeah thanks. Don't really have enough cash to make any major improvements. Will just come down to Lukaku or Alli for captain.
