The ScoutCast – Episode 235 – Swingers

Careering out of the international break at speed, the ScoutCast returns in anticipation of a turning point in our seasons.

We’ve been chattering for several weeks on the much anticipated “fixture swing”, and now we’re all set to put ourselves at its mercy.

What does it mean for our Fantasy line-ups?

In truth, with multiple transfers and Wildcards at our disposal, Jonty, Andy, Luke and myself started this latest episode still seeking our own answers. Over almost 90 minutes and with your community questions providing the steer, we do our best to reach some conclusions.

We weigh up Manchester United exit plans, Liverpool’s blunted attack and Jamie Vardy’s recuperation techniques, before previewing Gameweek 8 in the usual hap-hazard style.

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 on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

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

      Your team is really good. Sad to see you have 2 frees. I honestly don't know what you can change with 0.0m in the bank.

      Maybe, Salah + Mbemba to Sterling + 5.1m def.

      Either that or a useless 5th mid swap is all I can see unfortunately.

    People considered Kane too expensive at 12.5 at the beginning of the season but with his form picking up and should he return at home he really becomes near essential. What I would like to know then is;

    1. At what price would you refuse to invest in Kane if you didn't have him already?

    2. If you bought him at 12.4 and he gets a red card or three game injury, would you sell seeing as he wouldn't drop by more than 0.2 with the new algorithm?

      1. No price, he's the best captaincy option in the game but most will have him that want to buy him soonish

      2. Sell him, can't have that kind of money on your bench with other options firing

      1. There is no price is refuse to get him. Lots of things factor, not least how good the alternatives are.
      2. Seriously? I'd sell him in a flash. Don't care how much he rises or falls you don't give your team a 12.5 handicap for three games.

        Agree with this. Besides if you bought at 12.4 you would sell for 12.6 now, meaning you'd probably be able to buy back at the same price later.

      Interesting views but

      1. 13.5 would be too rich for me

      2. It might be stupid but I wouldn't sell if the pp and sp were 0.5 or more apart. But this would also depend on my team being able to absorb the handicap

      If you have a playing 5th defender you keep.

      Don't have a playing 5th defender which makes things harder for me. Had him from GW1 and so it'll only cost me an extra 0.1m to get him back. He may get cleans but I'll always have that nagging doubt about playing him in 3 of the next 4. He gets no attacking returns too, though is decent on bonus.

          Are Watford not a decent team though? We were happy to get King from Bournemouth last year, I'd argue Watford are similar in that respect (and probably better defensively but that's a different issue)

              Having said all that - I'm not against the Siggy punt, he has the stats to back it up in the past couple of weeks.

              I prefer Richarlison to Choupo-Moting, but having said that I have both in a cheap midfield!

          I think he looks really good but some bad fixtures on the way
          Btw my suggestion was absolute fodder for the Siggy spot and go 523. It's risky but might work.
          If going the 6.1 mill or less route I don't think there are any better options than Richarlison

    Can see Choupo-Moting putting himself about a bit more and nicking a goal or assist here and there. Brady could benefit from Burnley being a solid team. Richarlison a bit expensive for his fixtures.

    Went with my head and against the flow, sold Salah for Sterling (-4) kept Mikhi.

    Mikhi now has Liverpool and Huddersfield before he leaves or stays, still think 8m for a United mid is a gift, 43 points for 8m is not to be sniffed at.

    Now have two weeks to see if Liverpool implode without Mane or pick the best option after they play United and Spurs, have 2.6 in the bank so can also fund Eriksen to Hazard and Jesus to Lukaku/Aguero as a plan B.

    G2G?

    Elliot
    Alonso Davies Jones Cedric Naughton
    Eriksen Sterling Mkhitaryan
    Kane (c) Jesus

    Foster TCaroll RLC Hemed

    2.6 in the bank.

        Not this week, want to see how it plays out now and already taken a -4.

        Naughton and Hemed rotate nicely for Hemed's nicer games so won't to keep those to pump money elsewhere, 2.6 gives a lot of options now so can sit on this and do what's best now.

      No point having any money on the bench with the free hit chip IMO unless you have any doubts over your starting 11, saying that, I had no doubts about Bailly and he got benched when I used mine.

      Your team looks fantastic for this week, I wouldn't worry about your bench, good luck with it, would love to know how you get on with it.

          You could have attacking points in your defence this week, looks good for it.
