Scoutcast Episode 267 – Lucky

Do we make our own luck? Or are there unforeseen events that can conspire to ruin even the best Fantasy managers’ seasons?

In this week’s Scoutcast, David, Andy and Az join me to discuss the role of fortune in Fantasy football as we look to introduce a ‘luck league’.

This is one of a number of new and revamped features we trialled following the international break.

This saw the return of old favourites, including Rough with the Smooth and clean sheet predictions, as well as a new version of Fantasy Island Risks that focuses purely on low-owned gems.

Our Community section has undergone a late spring clean too, focusing on the week’s key teams, players and talking point to allow us to have more in-depth discussions.

But as with all trials, some things don’t quite go as planned.

The introduction of forfeits for the Scoutcaster with the lowest monthly score and an unexpectedly controversial quiz proved to be more works in progress, which will be put back on the shelf for the time being.

Among all the upheaval we also find time to ponder going without Liverpool’s pricey talisman Mohamed Salah and frisk the fixtures to analyse the teams with the best upcoming run of games.

      Maddison has come out on top, in 5 rounds of the comparison tool today. Over all stats summar.
      Pereyra, Lingard,Richarlison, Gray. Closer with Moura, But still better. In the end i guess its the output that counts. And i dont have Maddison my self. Any tf i do now is -4.

      Giving serious thought to a leic def as my 3rd also and have considered this.

      Like the look of both full backs to be fair.

      Almost flip a coin between them, and with £0.1m I would just go with Chilwell.

      Am also seriously considering Maguire for set piece threat though at 5.5

        Having one of the two with Alonso and Wendy seems ideal to me. I'm also on Chilwell for the same reason, was just seeing if anyone had strong opinions on one over the other.

        Maguire does seem better but I can't afford.

      W Hughes also plays quite high up pitch for 5m

      Presumably you can’t stretch to 5.6 for Fraser, or you already have him (again press conference update pending)

                  I just don't think you understand the game well enough. Who cares about 6 fixtures for keepers. You plan to change your keepers in 6 weeks? He has no backup keeper in case Patricio gets injured and Hamer doesn't look first choice and this is his wildcard. You are dismissing 146 points and 10 clean sheets last season based on 4 games? Just stop running your mouth off every chance you get.

                    So much this. The fixtures from GW8 through GW16 alone are enough not to be dismissive of Ryan as a solid choice. Being so categorically dismissive about some players (e.g., Richarlison) and glowing about others (e.g., Jota) just makes no sense.

              4 gameweek's sample size?

              He's a quality keeper (I'd be in a decent position to judge, he's the Aussie starting keeper so I've seen a lot of him), Brighton are a decent defensive side.

                  Each to their own, I suppose. Look at it this way, if they stay up (as most predict they will), it will most likely be on the back of a typically solid Hughton defence, as evidenced by a number of years of data (both in the Championship, and last year in the Prem, where they managed double-digit clean sheets).

      As a Newcastle fan, can say I'd be going nowhere near Joselu. Obviously price is the key factor, but I'd be looking to find the extra 0.5 or so to afford a sure starter. To be fair, Joselu has actually started this season surprisingly well, but he's fundamentally not a great striker and I would anticipate that Rondon will start most games this season.

      Would put AWB first sub with Kamara then Stephens.

      Clearly with Bilva and Walcott there is every chance you will need at least one one the subs without a hit

    Stephens stubbornly refusing to drop for 2 weeks now. Could really do with it happening, as may need the extra 0.1 to afford an ideal WC team. He's not an attractive option but he's a guaranteed 2 points every week.

    In case Stephens avoids the drop, any Southampton fans (or otherwise) around that could give me some info about Hoijberg as an alternative? How likely is he to see rotation or get dropped?

        For me he was just such an uninspiring choice.

        On WC made changes and was able to go up to W Hughes, but making a few more tweaks and may yet go back to him for his customary 2 points and occasional 3.

        Also on fpl stats he looked set to drop 1 week ago and he is still in the -99s!

    Pedro out of reach.
    Already own Maddison.
    Schurrle showing good form, one bad fixture then a decent run. Good value.
    Richarlison only one week away and as close to a must as you can get at that price range?

    Mkhitaryan to Richarlison and Silva to Silva (for -4) next week.

      Some dodgy ads on the side for me along the lines of “You’re the 1,000,000th site visitor congrats blah blah blah”, but so long as you avoid those the site is fine.

    Thoughts on my wc with 0.1 bank:

    Patricio (Boruc)
    Alonso, Medy, Robertson (Bennett, WB)
    Salah, Hazard, Pedro, Maddison (Billing)
    Aguero (c), Mitrovic, Wilson

    My issues are my 2nd non playing gk & not sure Bennett is a good 4th defender as he may not be 100% nailed.
    My question = should I downgrade Maddison to upgrade Boruc & Bennett.

    Thoughts & thanks.

      Personally I would rather Doherty and Maddison downgrade. I don't think Hamer gets back in ahead of Lossl but still more likely than Boruc. You can play Patricio next 6 with Wolves fixtures

        Yeah mate I've seen a few articles on Doherty & his attacking stats are very impressive.

      Downgrading Maddison isn't a huge risk I don't think. Suppose it would depend on whom you shift to. Probably better to have two playing keepers if one of them's Patricio (whom I also have)

      I have McCarthy/Fab since start sold Doherty for hit to get Alonso few weeks ago before price rise/fall got Bennett in last week FT for Peltier. I could leave all as is on WC but think Fab+Bennett>Patricio+Doherty could pay dividends next 6

    Patricio
    Cedric Mendy Robertson AWB
    Salah Mane Hazard Mkhi Pedro
    Kun (C)

    Foster. Kamara Success Peltier

    1 FT 0 ITB

    WC still intact
    Bench is a bit of an issue with Rotation imminent.

    Mkhi> Gray (This week)
    Kamara > Deeney (Coming week)

    And Have Cedric on the bench.

    Thoughts?
