Scoutcast Episode 275 – Floored

Points ceilings and floors dominate proceedings on our latest Scoutcast as Joe, Az, Luke and Neale look over the key issues facing managers ahead of Gameweek 13.

A chief concern is who to replace red-flagged Benjamin Mendy with, after the Frenchmen underwent surgery last week. The enticing points floor of clean sheet returns offered by the full-back’s Manchester City team mates, John Stones and Aymeric Laporte, appeals to Luke.

Meanwhile, Joe prefers the higher ceiling offered by the likes of Everton left-back Lucas Digne, who has been posting some impressive underlying statistics lately to suggest attacking returns are on the way.

As well as defensive issues our community questions section also cover the value offered by Toffees assets across the pitch, and whether 12.4m priced Harry Kane is worth the outlay when Spurs fixtures turn.

Whether Anthony Martial’s six goals in his last five matches is a sign the Manchester United attacker is  in form, or merely overperforming, is also discussed.

We also find time to look back at the previous set of matches and ahead in detail to Gameweek 13, including the best differentials, strongest clean sheet prospects and our transfer plans.

Captaincy options are also considered, with the maverick selections of Az, Luke and Neale leaving dullard Joe stunned.

    Advice please chaps, What to do with Mr Hips don't lie?

    Patricio
    Robertson | Alonso | Dunk
    Shaqiri | Salah | Hazard | Richarlison
    Jiminez | Arnautovic | Aguero

    Foster | WB | Balbuena | Stephens

    0.2ITB 1 FT.

    Took a one week punt last week on Shaq, given bench of WB Flagged and away to Man U, Balbuena home to Man City and Stephens suspended for 3 games.

    Do I:
    A) Roll Transfer and gamble on Shaq starting / Cameo
    B) Shaq -> Fraser
    C) Shaq -> Moura
    D) Shaq -> Kenedy
    E) Something else?

    1. Snooze ya lose

      Save

    2. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Eh? I also transferred Shaq in last week and I'm very happy to keep him. As a Liverpool fan I'm certain he's one of the first name on the team sheet now

      1. The_Bar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        He looked great last week and played a major role in the Switzerland win over Belgium, everything in me says keep. Just concerned over starts, do you think Klopp will give him an extended run?

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

      Keep Shaq for this one. Not guaranteed starter but the 4231 looks in favour Vs non top 6.

      1. The_Bar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I've seen Klopp play the 4231 mostly at home so didn't know if he'd risk it away at Watford though they have been a mixed bag thus far. It wouldn't hurt to keep 1 more week.

    4. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A out of those

    5. Bagheri Arce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Keep Shaq...I just transferred him to Rich and feel dirty. Wish I could have them both but prefer Rich

  2. Egg noodle

    Why is Digne so overrated? Keane eats him on stats

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      The sheep effect.

    2. luke25
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Eye test mainly

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A FFS bandwagon spreads like wildfire.

    4. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Digne's stats are better according to what I see. More chance of an assist than Keane's chances of a goal. I'll take that.

      1. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Factor in BPs that favor Keane

      2. All de Gea no iDier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        You see wrong. Keane's stats are better. 49 / 33 and PPG 4.9 / 3.3

        Digne puts in a lot of crosses and takes corners. Keane is the target. Digne has one assist. Keane has one goal and two assists. Both have played 10 games, Keane has more minutes; 900 / 799.

        Now, why is everybody gagging for Digne? He's the Cédric of this season.

        1. toystory2wasok
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          keane’s stats take a sharp downturn when he returned from injury. digne’s current underlying stats look better.

          this issue is discussed at some length in the linked podcast.

        2. Sterling Malory
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Those two Keane assists are irrelevant. They're both fluke. One of them was a clearance for goodness sake.

          Digne is an attacking full back with decent delivery and playing in a system which allows him freedom to get forward.

          Nothing wrong with either pick, I personally would always choose full back over centre back. Regardless.

    5. ROLLING THE DICE

    Thinking of doing barkley + success > richalison + jimenez - 4. Should I make it - 8 and do Mendy > laporte? (will be play Brooks if I don't)

    1. Snooze ya lose

  4. RoysCallerAnne

    Can someone just un-invent international breaks and Christmas ads please. Thanks.

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years

      That would be fantastic.

    2. stooshermadness

  5. Snooze ya lose

    Mendy to laporte or Digne?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. toystory2wasok
      • 10 Years

      it depends if you have plans for the cash or not.

  6. jdogg

    What are the chances of a 3.9 keeper befpre the deadline?x

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Speroni is on -98.7

  7. liiusions
    • 8 Years

    Shocked by the lack of Mina love on here

    1. luke25
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Why? Played one game because Zouma was ineligible, would be a good option if we knew he was going to play but we don't

    2. RoysCallerAnne

      Winona Ryder was hot back then too .

        He’s not Yerry good mate.

    3. A.T

      I might get him this week.

  8. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    35k rank.

    Should I captain Aguero or Salah and stay safe OR go a bit "risky" and go Richarlison ?

    Thanks guys.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Only you can decide if you are a risk taker or not.

    2. barton fc
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Richalison

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Captain the one who you think will score the most points.

    4. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Richarlison so I can go past you with my Salah captain

    5. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      im on mo

    6. The_Bar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Salah or Aguero are your safer bets. People edge with Salah due to more points for goal and clean sheet though Aguero wins on the baps front. Guess it depends on how much of a gambler you are?

  9. Failed Bandwagons
    Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Can't imagine the Digne wagon will fail as badly as the Barkley one did.

    What other terrible bandwagons can you remember, from any season?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I don’t trust the Everton defence.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yet still look likely to bring one in

    2. The_Bar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Gabbiadini got to be up there.

    3. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years

      Triple captain Negredo

      1. StoichkovFPL

        Dont even remind me

      2. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        That was bloody ridiculous, I fell into that trap too.

        Mainly because I was chasing ML leader.

    4. Epic Fail

      Arise sir Boselli

      Mauro the king Boselli. Kept the muppet for 9 gameweeks...

    6. how now brown cow

      Walcott from any season

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years

        I distinctly remember right after he moved to EVE and hauled last season. Cue everyone buying, cue blanks.

      2. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        This. I think it's the third time I fell into that trap. Not learning from those mistakes, no

      Royston Drenthe

      1. A.T
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        He was once fined for turning up for training with 2 hookers and asked them to wait in the dressing room. I forgave him after that 🙂

      • 8 Years

      Rondon....hattrick followed by 2 million blanks. Was worth holding onto him for those 10 fruitless games of course for his 1 pt in the blank GW

      Royston Drenthe. I am shuddering even typing the name.
      Moreno in the front 3 under BR.
      Gabbiadini. Zigic. Wolves striker with double barrel name.
      A guy called Formica for Blackburn.
      Gundogan.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Eurgh, Gundogan sucked me in last season. What could've been...

        TM will remember my sadness at that.

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

          and then tell you to wait until midweek games are completed and/ or press conferences.

          1. Top Lad Dakes.
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            No I mean he'll remember because I complained about the fact that Gundo blanked for the 6 or so weeks I had him, but scored on the GWs before and after I had him

      My wife was in the top 1k in the world in March. She went away for a couple of weeks and asked me to mind her team. I brought in Shorey & Le Fondre for a -8 (dgw). Her rank crashed. She didn't forgive me for a long time.

      • 6 Years

      This season managed to avoid Wally, but got sucked into Pedro (again, ok not a huge bandwagon but felt stupid in hindsight) and Barkles 🙄

      Last season, Pogba, Morata and Daniels were probably the worst traps I laid myself. Wilson was also a majasive disappointment.

  10. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years

    Bench one...

    a) Arnie (MCI)
    b) Fraser (ARS)
    c) Duffy (LEI)

    3. The_Bar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'd probably bench Duffy. Only because Fraser looks in great form even over international break and Arsenal haven't exactly been watertight. Arnie can always nick one...

    4. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      C

      LEI COULD score, and I'd rather play the attacking players anyway. Can see BOU ARS being a goalfest (hopefully), and never know, Ederson has given away pens the last 2 weeks

    5. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks all - fairly clear cut. Doherty no show might make it all irrelevant.

          yes good team

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

      Digne. 3 good games in the next 4. Can't see Jiminez making up the -4 over the next few games.

  15. MattysFantasyFooty

    What are people thoughts on Bournemouth assets finally time to ditch due to bad run of fixtures? Currently contemplating Wilson to Jimenez for free

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I don't own Wilson, but I'm keeping Fraser at least for this week. Great form and ARS are leaky.

      That move could work though

      1. MattysFantasyFooty
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I know I’m looking at long term wolves over the next 5 have got way better fixtures just if they can find their winning form again he’ll surely be a good pick. Only thing is I’d prefer to keep Wilson but there’s no good replacements under 7m for Fraser (already have rich)

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I just see no reason to at the moment.

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I’m holding them both. At the moment I’m rotating Fraser and Jimenez in a 343/352 rotation. Although this week I’m tempted to play Fraser over Arnie.

    4. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ditching after a spell of good points scoring at the right time ahead of others is a key skill in the game.
      I would do it.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I agree.

        I just don’t see either of them drying up yet, they both still look excellent to me.

        Arsenal is a good fixture for them imho.

      2. MattysFantasyFooty
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I’m very tempted I can see Wilson scoring low in these tough fixtures aside arsenal as they are notorious I think the risk of 2 Bournemouth going into arsenal pool and city as the three of their next 4 is dangerous. I initially a few weeks back thought they’d be fine but I just can’t see them scoring 4/5 goals (combined) in those 3 games. Where as wolves look like they’ve got a bit of form back should have beaten arsenal and unlucky v spurs and can see Jimenez doing well in the coming weeks.

    5. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Im holding them, bournemouth has proven to be quite attacking this year so i fancy them to score vs everyone except maybe pool,chelsea and man city. Will bench fraser in those games and that's it, playing in rest of 'em

    6. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      holding fraser for the next few weeks can bench if needed and i have a lot of value tied in but will probably get rid on wc though he is still a really good enabler (bought at 5.6)

    7. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Interesting and varying opinions thanks all will be something I will have to mull over until the deadline

    8. Mo Mané No Problems
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I have both Fraser and Wilson. Keeping Wilson but shipping Fraser to get Martial. Martial should outscore Fraser over the upcoming run even if he gets a couple of returns.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        This but not this week. Figure they both have a good shot with that arsenal high line. Then city is awful but Huddersfield follows that so might just hang on for the next 3

        1. Mo Mané No Problems
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          The problem is I don't have players on my bench that could start instead of Fraser and Wilson for the City game. Another reason is the fixtures after the Huddersfield game aren't great either, that's too long to just keep two Bou assets when you could get someone else who would outscore them in that period.

          1. Eat my goal!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Only time will tell. If I had a extra ft I might be tempted to do Fraser martial. Next week who knows. But I think they have good prospects this week.

    9. A.T
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'm flogging Fraser this week.

    10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Got Fraser and Wilson for 11.5m, I wouldnt care if Bournemouth were playing Man City every week from now until end of season - those two are going nowhere at those prices.

      They’ll be at least 15.0 next year if not more

  16. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Who to play this weekend:

    a) Arnie
    b) Bennett
    c) Brooks

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A and C

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        A and C

    2. child of God
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Many won't agree but B for me

      1. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        It would be a Wolves double up, but I'm tempted to go there as well.

    3. ROLLING THE DICE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Bennet currently my #1 bench spot, hoping he plays but currently starting Arnie.

  17. oi no professionals
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Bench two:
    A. Fraser
    B. Wilson
    C. Arnie
    D. Anderson

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

      CD

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I definitely see Bournemouth scoring and one of those two are likely involved. I struggle to see WHM scoring but if they do those guys are also likely involved also. It’s tough but I’d probably bench c & d.

    3. barton fc
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      DA

    4. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      def bench D
      def play C and toss a coin for the other two

      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      fook. reply fail and that was meant to be BD or CD.

      I believe that's what they call an Epic Fail

  19. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Why oh why did I sell Jiminez to get Barkley and Success a couple weeks back.

    Can't complain too much as my rank is fine, but that short term move -sooo- did not work out.

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

      Trap set and fallen into.

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

        I don't necessarily fault my reason for dropping Jiminez - it's just the replacements were gash!

        Humbled 😀

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      God knows mate, terrible moves.

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

        TBF it was all the rage at the time.

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Anybody who knows football knows Barkley and Success are terrible short-term picks. But yeah, they were a bandwagon I guess.

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

            Tell that to thise who got Barkley's 13, 6, 17.

            1. Fantasy Gold
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Meh, hard to call when that’s gonna happen and a constant risk for rotation.

  20. Kurt Cobain
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Тhoughts on Sigurdsson as replacement for Maddison? Already have Richarlison...

    1. barton fc
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      If he's fit

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No.

    3. MTPockets
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Too much Everton for me.

      • ZimZalabim
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        everton have tough away fixtures i wouldnt double up on them yet at least not in attack def plus one of these two is fine if u can bench the def in the away games

      • Kurt Cobain
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        ty all

    4. SomeoneKnows
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Who should I bench out of these 4 players?

      A) Trippier (CHE)
      B) Duffy (LEI)
      C) Wilson (ARS)
      D) Arnautovich (MCI)

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Trippier may not be fit....
        Otherwise Duffy for me only because of ceiling

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Can I feel safe in my thinking that Manè won’t drop and Sterling won’t rise before the gw starts?

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        You can feel safe, but the prices might still change.

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          They are quite a far bit off but I know how hectic the Friday evening transfers get.

      2. StayoutheSpiceZone
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            1. MTPockets
                5 years, 5 months ago

                Perhaps but fairly confident you won't captain him

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Sell a Mendy as he is out long term. Robertson or VVD.

            1. FPL Blow-In
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Or TAA if that leaves you funds to upgrade Kiko to Trippier down the line for his good fixtures.

          2. ZimZalabim

        • dylano21
          • 6 Years

          your thoughts of doherty as Cap if fit ?

          1. MTPockets
              5 years, 5 months ago

              no way

              there are safer picks
              also got to see how jonny being out affects him

            • MattysFantasyFooty
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Got to be better options surely?

              1. dylano21
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 5 months ago

                I got some other options. Salah, aguero, richarlison, doherty and martial are my main options.

            • Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Not the absolute worst. But can easily drop from 6 (+ 3 bonus) to 2 (+ a YC) in an instance.

              The wing-back likely to come in for Jonny is a bit more attacking, so who knows if it affects the defence much.

              Guys for the love of god. Please look at Keane v Digne.......has better point value more of a goal threat and no L Baines to worry about......somehow Digne become a must have ???

            If money was no issue, who would you pick:

              Martial will outscore Richarlison over the next 4 games plus if Siggy is out this will affect Rich.

            Bego/ 4.0
            Laporte/ Robertson/ Alonso/Bennett
            Salah/ hazard/ Schurrle
            Wilson/ Kun/ Arnie

            4.0/ Delofeou/ HojbeRg/ wan b

            1FT 1.5ITB

            thinking i need to replace Bego
            a) Bego to Rui
            b) Bego to Allison
            c) Schurrle to someone so I can bench Arnie
            a) Bego to Rui/ Schurrle to someone for a hit

                Might be worth holding Schurrle in case things change/pick-up with new manager.
