The ScoutCast – Episode 221 – Spurred

2,483 Comments

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.

    A) Aguero -> Kane (c) and Antonio -> Zaha 4pt hit

    B) Aguero -> Kane (c) and play Bally vs Chelsea

    C) Benteke -> Kane (c) and Sanchez -> Zaha 4pt hit

        A looks by far the best and least riskiest.

              Of course he'll start. Pochettino will want him to have had a start under his belt before the Cup semi-final.

        State of my team, I need a wildcard to fix my wildcard that I used 2 weeks ago.

        DDG (!) Cabellero (!)
        Alonso Valencia (!) Mustafi Yoshida Holgate
        Sanchez Alli Eriksen Zaha Ward-Prowse
        Kane Lukaku Negredo (!)

        0 FT, 3.2 ITB. Feel like I'm gonna die slowly with that lot. What to do?

        A) Just sit tight and see out gw33 and gw34.
        B) Just take one big hit, amputate the gangrene and hope I somehow survive.

          Front 7 GTG. Defence bearable.
          Maybe take a hit on either defence or keeper if DDG is out. Think he'll start.

            I'd sit tight this week. With Caballero, Alonso, Mustafi, Holgate, Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Zaha, Kane, and Lukaku, you have ten solid starters this week. So just decide between Valencia, JWP and Negredo for your 11th spot this week and you'll be fine. (I'd start Negredo. He's been decent-ish lately, and Arsenal don't look to be getting cleans anytime soon, but a good case can be made for Valencia and ManU parking a bus this week.)

                    Lots given the time frame you'll be working with. I had a premium defense pre WC and now have gone almost ultra cheap to accommodate elsewhere. Southampton double up, Holgate, Gibson and Vert made everything else work although if I choose not to go Luk to Ibra for next week I can afford to upgrade my D a bit more. Not sure really, I'll probably keep the option open for Ibra next week even though he doesn't look dangerous at all.

                  I don't understand how the flagging system works regarding price changed - Valencia was flagged and close to a drop prior to the game, then the flag was taken off when he played and fpl stats reset him on 0,0. Now when he is a doubt again, surely he should go back to -90 again?

                  I am in a big dilemma here:

                  This is my target team for dgw34, the players in parentheses have doubles:

                  (Valdes)
                  Alonso, (Valencia), (x)
                  Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, (Zaha)
                  (Ibra), Lukaku, Kane

                  A) x=Ward
                  B) x=Gibson
                  C) x=Rojo
                  D) x=?

                  What I like about A is having all doubling teams covered but I don't like CPs fixtures LIV and TOT...
