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.

      VVD over Monreal. How’s your wildcard looking?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Nice idea perhaps.

        Ryan
        Otamendi - Davies - Monreal/VVD - Ward
        Sterling - Hazard - Richarlison
        Vardy - Kane - Jesus

        (Elliot / Choupo-M / RLC / Mbemba)

        My plan is to rotate between Choupo-M and Ward 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 😎

  3. Lumberjack
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    WC draft...any good?

    Still trying to decide a couple of players:
    A - Abraham or Joselu
    B - Luiz or Otamendi

    Fab/ Elliot
    Luiz/ Davies/ jones/ Ward/ Mbemba
    Hazard/ Cout/ Silva/ Gross/ Carrol
    Kane/ Jesus/ Abraham

    0.2 ITB.

    Cheers!

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Otemendi I think, then switch to the Chelsea one in a couple of weeks

      1. Lumberjack
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Sounds like a plan. Thanks.

  4. Viprin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Kane,Richarlison or Jesus,Coutinho?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A, by some distance.

    2. Johqvist
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely A

    3. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A

  5. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Mhki worth holding until after HUD fixture?

    I was all set on him to a sterling but hesitant now. Would be for a hit probably give it a miss now.

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Not for a hit

    2. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Not for a hit

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks, didn't think it was!

      1. On The Up
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Was about to exact same thing. Don't take a hit

    4. Gommy
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I had 2FT this week and have been mulling over making the same transfer myself, having already swapped Morata out for Jesus.

      I’ve now decided to stick and roll the second transfer over.

      I already have Silva and now Jesus and felt Sterling too would be overkill. I do not believe Sterling is nailed in any way and with Champs League next week, I can see him see reduced minutes in the League. There’s also every chance Mkhitaryan could score just as well over the next couple of GW’s.

      Overall, sticking and not taking a hit is the sensible decision in my opinion.

    Morning all. A sneaky RMT while I'm at work

    Triple City too much? WC team

    ----------------De Gea-------------------
    Otemendi - Davies - Alonso - Ward
    -----Sterling - Silva - Choupo-------
    -------Kane - Lukaku - Vardy--------

    Subs: Elliot - Carroll - Loftas-Cheek - Mbemba

    1. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Nice team

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      5 rotation risks

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Only 1 from my starting 11

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Otamendi Bavies 30%
          Alonso 20%
          Sterling 30%
          Silva 20%

          1. You've got red on you.
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Lol

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't say too much. Otamendi and Silva won't be affected by the Sergio news and Sterling should be a good buy for the short term at least, and then reasses.

      I've only managed to fit in on Man City player (Sterling) on my wildcard unfortunately.

    4. Pauntley
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      really like this team BUT if you get injuries or players rotated your bench sucks. I would lose Alonso and have a slightly better bench.

    5. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Same as me but I have Coutinho for Choupo and no Alonso. Prefer yours in honesty

    6. PDM TOP 1,000 any Season Le…
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I have 7
      Ward Davies
      Sterling Silva Cho-Mo
      Kane Lukaku

      So looks good 🙂

      1. PDM TOP 1,000 any Season Le…
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Plus Elliott Carroll Mbemba on the bench !

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

    Thank fully the Jesus rise allowed me to make the 0.1m I needed to finish my wildcard.

    Pope
    Azpilicueta / Cedric / Cresswell / Simpson
    Hazard / Eriksen / Coutinho / Sterling (vc)
    Kane (c) / Vardy

    Elliot / RLC / Mbemba / Quaner

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I likes it...that midfield is lush

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks Heaton. My bench is week, but I'm happy to ride it out and upgrade it in the future.

    2. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Coutinho to Silva for 2 weeks and play the fixtures ? Nice team though

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I'm not too concerned on playing the fixtures. I don't think Silva is explosive enough to justify planning a transfer especially with Cout playing well, he could easily grab some points. Thanks for the suggestion though.

    3. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      glorious

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thanks 😉

    4. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Like it, but bench is rather threadbare

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, as above. I always like to have an ultra cheap bench. Once my TV increases I'll upgrade Mbemba to a regular starter.

        1. Robben Mee Blind
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Fair enough. Sounds good

    5. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      best team that I have seen here so far

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Nice 😉

        I know it's rather different to most people's set-ups on here so I wasn't sure how well it would go down. I've been playing four at the back all season and I just think there are some great midfield picks to be had right now.

        1. G-Whizz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          You mean I'm actually supposed to take notice of what people say?

          1. Smurf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Not if you want to do well 😉

            1. G-Whizz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              I hear you 😆

              Hope it works out for you, I'm trying 523 this year but I wouldn't advise posting an RMT for it lol 😆

              Seriously though, when it comes to advice on here it's up to you if you take it or not...

              1. Smurf
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                6 years, 5 months ago

                Yeah for sure. I like reading the info on here but I rarely take the advice that comes with it.

                I managed a top 400 finish on my own advice last season and intend to stick to my own thoughts again this season

                The post was more of a 'let me show you something different' than any form of RMT as my team is locked and loaded now.

                  6 years, 5 months ago

                  Top 400 finish OMFDayz :O

                  As you can see I'm nowhere near that standard previous seasons I've just competed in MLs and done just enough to win them.

                  This is the first season I've taken any notice of OR and I'm looking (fingers crossed) to break into the 5 figure bracket as I feel that's a realistic target to set.

                  Your team looks decent, wish you all the best with it!

                  1. Smurf
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 14 Years
                    6 years, 5 months ago

                    Yeah I'm sure with more thought on OR you may end up getting a better one, it worked that way for me after usually just playing for ML victories.

                    Good luck with whatever you are rolling out this weekend too.

                    .... unless it's Lukaku captain 😉

                      Cheers mate!

                      Lukaku did you say? 😆

      Morning Guys. I need your help.....can someone tell me why people think that Cedric is a price drop for this wknd.....?? looking at most WC predictions he appears in the vast majority of them, yet people are waiting a price drop. I see his current score is 96 on FPL but that's lower than it was on Tuesday.....??? and surely to low to have an effect by tomorrow morning ???

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I think most people (me at least) realise he's not dropping before the deadline. And hopefully with a cleansheet this weekend he won't drop in the near future.

    "Jamie Vardy has fully recovered from his hip problem. He had the injections straight after the Bournemouth game, he was given time away because he wasn't allowed to do anything but he has trained fully this week.

    "He has looked sharp and I'm really pleased to report there are no ill effects from that. He's back."

    1. French Gooner

    Vardy to have a party this GW?

    1. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      its his party and he'll score if he wants to

        So la da di da di
        Vardy like to party
        Dancing with Molly
        Doing whatever he want
        This is his house
        This is his rules

        And he can't stop
        And he won't stop
        Can't you see it's he who own the night?
        Can't you see it's he who 'bout that life?

      Accepted my invite last night

  10. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Luiz or Otamendi? A city defender would leave me with three city players and no Jesus/Kun though

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Luiz in that case. Don't shut the door on Kun (might hurt his ribs!)

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years

      Surely you've just answered this for yourself lol

  11. Gw287
    • 7 Years

    Bench Naughton or Abraham against Huddersfield?

    Swansea have had the fewest shots in the whole league but if they do score I think Abraham will be involved

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Abraham unless you feel he will start

    2. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Abraham

    What is your opinion on DCL ( Dominic Calvert-Lewin )?

    Is this a player that will get his 90min and hopefully get a goal now and then?

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      90 mins- no. Goal now and then- yes

    I think something got lost in translation from the Argentine doctor. Does the Spanish for rib sound anything like the Spanish for fingernail?

    My only reason keeping him just because Mou is the special in parking bus, good chance for clean sheet.

    Tempting to swap with Courtois due to good fixtures for GK until week 27 (only have 3 big matches against UNITED,pool,arsenal).

      Dropped on wc for Fabianski

      Will get Jones if he isn’t broken by the time their fixtures improve

      1. RIDZ

        dropped by the fixtures?

        1. Coaly

          Yeah and extra funds

    Best 4.4 def?

    Was on Wimmer but just seen Shawcross will be back before long. Is Cameron more secure for Stoke?

    Final wc decision, all and every input is appreciated:
    A)Eriksen, choupo, Fernandez, mbemba(bench)
    B)Silva, richarlison, Fernandez, simpson(bench)
    C)Silva, choupo, Maguire/jones, Fernandez(bench)

      Jeez headache central.Toss a 3 sided coin ! Lol

      1. CFC96
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Eagerly awaiting the press conferences, pep is the bane of my team. Not even confident on Jesus atm

  20. lasmons
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Foster
    Kolasinac - Otamendi - Davies - Jones
    Ramsey - Ritchie - Mhiki
    Kane(C) - Lukaku - Morata

    Elliot - RLC - Tarroll - Hunmeier

    Morata + Mhiki -> Jesus + Silva (-4)

    Go for it?

  21. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Jones likely to start?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I would say so.

    2. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years

      wait for presser

    I'm a Ben Davies owner, but I'll be shocked if he starts this weekend.

    It's a home banker off the back of a very intense international game. He has Real and Pool in the next 6 days after it.

    He is too important to them with Rose still out and I expect him not to start. Spurs to play a 4 2 3 1 with Jan or Trip at left back.

    On a wildcard, with tough fixtures to come and Rose heading back. He's not worth it.

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      lol @ this

        Brilliant

    2. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

      Decent logic but that's FPL for you!

      1. The Hindu Monkey

        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Casuals. Casuals everywhere.

        Obviously as an owner I hope I'm wrong...

          Sorry stopped reading before the WC advice - Thought you were worrying ha

    3. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      totally agree. been saying this for a few days now

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        If we sold every rotation risk player, we wouldn't have much to work with!

        1. The Hindu Monkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Nobody is saying sell. I'm not selling. I'm saying if you've wildcarded and are looking to bring him in you're now probably too late to the party.

          never said id sell him...just talking about new owners and wcers

        Been saying this every week for the past 3-4 gw's you mean 🙄

        1. Sims
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          not really. big difference between asking and making a statement. asking people if he was likely to start a couple of weeks ago doesnt mean im implying he will be benched. got him 3 weeks ago for a reason

          1. Sims
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            however in this case im convinced he'll be rested

            1. Legomané
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              As you were last week, the week before that and all the weeks before that! Just trying desperately to keep Ben to yourself? 🙂

              1. Sims
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 5 months ago

                i dont really care what u think i said. if youre so worried go back and check yourself what i actually said instead of posting shite comments with smiley faces

    4. jia you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'd be shocked if he doesn't play. I think Poch has learned his lesson about needlessly benching Ben Davies!

    5. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. Thankfully I've got a decent bench

    6. Squashed
      • 7 Years

      mind blown....totally...

    Hey guys,
    Any thoughts on this wc team?

    Fab Elliott
    Davies Cedric ward dunk mbemba
    Hazard salah sterling choupo-moting Carroll
    Kane lukaku Abraham

  24. Old Gregg
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Wildcard D-day (after pressers)
    To Haz or not to Haz. That is the question.

    Sorry to ask again. I'm boring myself. But for one last time. What option do is the best?

    (A)
    Ryan
    Alonso-Jones-Mee-Davies-
    Sterling-Haz-Richarlson
    Kane-Jesus-Vardy

    Elliot-Mariappa-Stephens-RLC

    (B)
    Ryan
    Jones-Mee-Simpson-Davies
    Sterling-Silva-Haz
    Kane-Jesus-vardy

    Same subs
    (C)
    Ryan
    Jones-Mee-Simpson-Cedric
    Sterling-Cout-Haz
    Kane-Jesus-vardy

    Same subs.

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Confused. Thought your question was to Haz or not but all these options have him!?

      1. Old Gregg
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        True. That's internal conflict. These are the to Haz options.
        are you going to pick one?

        1. Robben Mee Blind
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          B or C I reckon. Prefer C slightly but no Bavies. Could be worth the gamble of going without now though

          1. Old Gregg
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            thanks.

            Team would look much balanced without.

    2. Pazdannavaro
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I would go A. Dont fancy Liv fixtures in next 2 games.

    3. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      (A) Alonso Davies Richarlson

      (B) Simpson-Davies Silva

      (C) Simpson Cedric Cout

      Simplified to assist 🙂 I'd go A

      1. Old Gregg
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. Yes, much easier!.

      2. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Actually when it's written like that A does look better!

  25. Pazdannavaro
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Hi All,

    Please RMWCT:

    Draft 1 - Going with the gut
    Pope/Elliot
    Bavies, Luiz, Stones, Yoshida, Ward,
    Eriksen, Sterling, Richarlison, Choupo, TC
    Kane, Jesus, Vardy
    0 itb

    Draft 2 - Going safe
    Pope/Elliot
    Trippier, Luiz, Stones, Yoshida, Ward,
    Hazard, Sterling, Richarlison, Choupo, TC
    Kane, Jesus, Batshu
    0 itb

    It's between Hazard-Batshu-Trippier (bunch of differentials) vs Eriksen-Vardy-Davies (high ownership).

    I fancy Chelsea to score more then two vs Palace and better fixtures over next 3 matches (WAT, bou), then TOT (LIV, mun).

    Vardy is against rather defensive teams, so low scoring games are going to be vs wba and eve.

    Davies can be rotated with Son pretty much on the same basis as Trippier with Aurier (who is cheaper 0,4 and has also good form).
    My guess is that Tripps play in PL and Aurier in CL, but we will see.

    Please let me know your thoughts.
    Thank you.

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Draft 1 definitely. Surely that's the safe option though!

      1. Pazdannavaro
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        You are right. Thanks. First is safe ofc, second is what I am thinking right now. Names should be switched 😉

        1. Robben Mee Blind
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Tbf it's only Batman that puts me off the other option. Rest looks good

          1. Pazdannavaro
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            He is a Hazard enabler along with Trippier. Do you think Hazard will outscore Eriksen in next 3 (or at least in next game)?

  26. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I actually didn't use an FT last week with 2FT's, still have wildcard too. Had fancied Alli+Jesus > Silva&Morata but held off after the Aguero injury. This week I'm thinking Mkhi>Silva and roll the second FT to assess the Morata situation next week..?

    Foster
    Davies Bailly Kola
    Brady Alli MKHI Gross
    Kane(c) Jesus Firmino

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      WC it, you could make a lot of changes there that would pay big in next few games

  27. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Mariappa more likely to start than Mbemba? Concerned about my bench with possible restings for Davies, Luiz this weekend

  28. zeepeee
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Who to choose out of these 3?

    A) Atsu (vs soton) 75%
    B) Carroll (vs huddersfield)
    C) Simpson (vs WBA)

    Current selection for GW8

    Elliot
    Naughton | Davies | Cedric
    Atsu | Eriksen | Silva | Sterling
    Lukaku | Kane | Chicharito

    Foster | Carroll | Simpson | Mbemba

  29. SH
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    A) Luiz, 4.7, Mbemba
    B) Jones, Cedric, 4.4

    1. zeepeee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B

      1. SH
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        You reckon Mbemba has lost his place?

        1. zeepeee
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Mbemba has rotation risk while chelsea might find it harder to keep a clean sheet with kante out.

  30. dashdriver
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Pickford / Elliot
    Davies / Kolasinac / Bertrand / Wimmer / Gàmez
    Eriksen / Mkhitaryan / GroB / Can / Carroll
    Kane / Lukaku / Firmino

    1FT / £0.0ITB

    WTFDOIDO?

    1. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      May as well save as you missed the Firmino Vardy straight swap

      1. dashdriver
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        And the Mkhi Silva one too.

        Uncertainties about Kola though.
