The ScoutCast – Episode 236 – Pepped

Restored to a five-strong squad, this week’s ScoutCast is still resonating from the shock of Man City’s seven-slice goal pie, served up by Pep at the expense of Stoke City.

That avalanche of goals and points fell into the laps of two of the ScoutCast crew, as Jonty and Andy bask in their post-Pep Wildcard success.

Others weren’t so fortunate, as we tell the tale of an unfortunate 11-point refresh and Az’s 32-point Gameweek misery that has since sparked his own Wildcard activity.

City dominate the community questions driving this 90-minute episode, while we also revisit the Harry Kane debate, fuelled by his latest Wembley misfire.

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

    Play Gross or T Carroll?

    Rest of the mid are Hazard, Salah, KDB.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Tommy

    2. Beavis

      Gross.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        This - had involvement in 5/6 of BHA goals. TC has had 1 assist all season

    3. RIDZ
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Gross plays more attacking

      or who is your 4th defender?

      1. dansen
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        My defence is weak.
        Suttner & TAA on the bench right now.
        Playing a 3-4-3

        1. RIDZ
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          then play Gross, good luck

    4. dansen

      Thanks all.
      Agree that Gross is more attacking.
      Another consideration I have is because 1 of my starting defender is Cresswell.

    5. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years

      Groß

  7. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Morning lads.
    Thinking Davies Brady and Lacazette to Moreno Sterling and Morata for a -4 .
    Yes or no ?
    I've no city or Chelsea cover.

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Could work. Not sure on Moreno tho but slim pickings in that price range

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Can't be any worse . Moreno seems nailed and has good fixtures.

  8. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Captain Lukaku, Sterling or Jesus?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on pressers, at the moment Lukaku.

  9. Takedog1
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Need to sell vardy. But who for??

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Upgrade only. His form when his manager gets sacked is impressive but the way

      1. Takedog1
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I was thinking possibly rashford? But u make a good point

        1. mikess
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Rash is canny player. Think Marital will play this week tho

  10. eamonhegg
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Please choose one to sub for MORATA

    A - Kane

    B - Lukaku

    1. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      B

    2. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A if you must

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A

      Then B to Kun next week

    4. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kaku out of the two but I wouldn't make the move at all..

    5. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kane given his next 4

  11. My Name Is Pepu
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Please advise lads..

    Elliot
    Ben Davies, Stones, Jones
    Salah, David Silva, Mkhitariyan, Martial, Atsu
    Kane, Jesus

    Bench: Hegazi, Wimmer, Quaner
    FT used, 1.1m in the bank.

    Starting XI looks decent? Anything worth a hit? Whom to captain? Considering a punt on Martial, or should I play safe with one of Jesus or Kane?
    Thanks.

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You need to ditch Mkhitaryan at some point but I'd leave it for now

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, he will be a goner after Huddersfield.
        Whom would you captain out of that lot?

        1. mikess
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Jesus

          1. My Name Is Pepu
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks Mikess 🙂

    2. Michelle Davin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Do you actually make any decision by yourself?

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, I do exactly the opposite of what the community advises. Always works. 😆

  12. West Hammered
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Captain?
    A) Lukaku
    B) Kane
    C) Jesus
    D) Sterling

    Currently going with Lukaku

  13. Sharkytect
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Rate my team tool is telling me to play ben davies ahead of both groß and T Carroll in a 442. Surely a midfielder is better than a defender playing Liverpool?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Tbf he's very attacking, why can't he get returns Vs Liverpool

      • Reuser
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        But Davies has plenty of assist (and even goal) potential against that Liverpool defence.....

      • FPLzebub
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Bavies is a wing back facing Liverpool. He may concede but has as much chance of attacking points as the others.

    2. HD7
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Really cant understand Kane sellers... you will ditch him and then want him back after his first brace? Did it once... wont do it again. 12.4 is a season keeper if not injured 🙂

      1. Sharkytect
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I know. One less thing to worry about is whether kane will play, and he can score against anyone. Just leave him in

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Sounds like you can understand them

        • HALFSPACE
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Kane sellers are braindead

          1. My Name Is Pepu
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            I'm not selling him but wouldn't mock the ones who are. He hasn't justified his price tag yet (this season).

        • RIDZ
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          always be my rule, not gonna buyback premium forward.

          even though Kane get blank, he still makes many shoot on target.

        • Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          You keep telling yourself that.

      3. Reuser
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Which one to start?

        Carroll (LEI)
        Naughton (LEI)
        RLC (cry)

        Immediate thought was Naughton for potential clean sheet points - but also tempted by Carroll's assist potential whilst Abrahams is in form.....

        1. KUNingas
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          RLC

          1. Reuser
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks - but is he going to start for a Palace side who beat Chelsea? Can see Roy naming an unchanged side, with RLC on the bench.....

        2. Sharkytect
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          RLC.

        1FT, 0m ITB.

        Elliot (Pope)
        Davies Otamendi Simpson (Ward Hunemeier)
        Sterling Coutinho Hazard Richarlison (T.Carroll)
        Kane Lukaku Joselu

        Which move?
        (A) Davies out (to who??)
        (B) Kun/Jesus in
        (C) Save FT

      5. RIDZ
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Davies out for -4? Who's in if so?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Chillllll

          • My Name Is Pepu
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Zapacosta? Just because I find that name fancy.

            1. RIDZ
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              same price, could be work 🙂

              1. My Name Is Pepu
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                I honestly fancy him in the coming weeks with Moses ruled out but don't have the balls to bring him in yet; considering Chelsea's dreadful defending in recent games.

                1. RIDZ
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 8 months ago

                  be brave mate, I know you're a real risk taker 🙂

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

            Kane + Ritchie -> Morata + Silva (-4)? Would WC Kane back in GW11.

            Would leave me this line up

            DDG
            Cedric, Cresswell, Monreal
            Salah, Silva, Sterling, RLC
            Lukaku, Morata, Vardy

            1. Ajax Hamsterdam
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              Good team

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              Looks great - although selling Vardy would be my priority.

            1. My Name Is Pepu
              • 7 Years

              Very likely

          4. H-Over United
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Think of these three questions...

            1) Fabianski or Elliot?
            2) Carroll or RLC as 4. MF?
            3) Captain Kaku, Jesus or Sterling?

            1. Woy_is_back

              1 fab for gk I think
              2 same dilemma for midfield - going Carrol for guaranteed minutes
              3 difficult one, I'm going kaku but tempted by sterling

            line up and bench order gtg? or would you swap Carrol and RLC?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              Would play Carrol as rlc only just back and Swansea could be starting a run of good form

          6. Joggers Nipple

            A vardy and Davies to morata and 5.2 def (-4)
            B vardy and Davies to morata and 4.5 ( -4 and leaves some cash to sort mbemba later)
            C mbemba to 4.5
            D save

            Over thinking? Help appreciated!

              • 7 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              I would keep Vardy for this GW, and wait on news for Davies. I think Mbemba is a bigger issue for you so C

              save, morata just coming back from injury, not for a hit this week, would definitely consider option A next week for free

            Who to captain?

            Jesus, Kane, Vardy, David Silva or Erikson?

                Jesus has the armband at the moment, debating him and Vardy... (have a feeling Vardy's gonna score a few)

            Every one looking forward to the Pep press conference? oh the scenes if he doesn't comment on aguero playing time

                Whatever he says will be inconclusive anyway, as always. It's all just guess work, so I'm not making any moves just holding Sterling and Jesus. Won't even risk captaining em

                      Kane, at least Liverpool will attack

                      I like Stones, have a feeling he's due a goal in the Prem.
