Scoutcast Episode 287 – Battling

After a bruising Gameweek 29, the Scoutcast soldiers are ready to wage war on the remaining fixtures of 2018/19.

Helping them out is regular listener FPL Reuser, who has come up with a cunning plan for Fantasy Premier League success that involves collecting a strong armoury of sturdy shields and razor-sharp swords. 

Joe, David, Luke and Andy discuss the best shields, which are high-owned players needed for protection against red arrows. Also covered are the finest swords, which refers to low-owned players with the perfect combination of points potential and solid fixtures.  

Getting the right combination in place may well be the Holy Grail of Fantasy management that the Scoutcast has been searching for over the last decade. 

Our merry band of podcast pugilists also find time to look ahead to the upcoming blank fixtures in Gameweeks 31 and 33 with a focus on the best Liverpool and Bournemouth assets to own. 

While Az couldn’t attend due to other commitments, he did find time to drop by in the YouTube chat during this episode’s live streaming to set us straight about the Everton defence. 

Elsewhere, David lays into Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo and reveals how a discarded plastic bag is now dictating his transfer decisions. 

The Scoutcast troops also mull over the key decisions facing them in Gameweek 30, including the best differential ‘swords’ to acquire, the likeliest clean sheets and their transfer and captaincy plans.

Finally, this episode ends by flagging up the work of the charity Anthony Nolan, which carries out fantastic work saving the lives of people with blood cancer. 

This follows the news from community member FPL Poker Player that his daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia last year. Although in remission, she still needs a bone marrow transplant. People can help support the work of Anthony Nolan by making a donation or signing up to be a bone marrow donor via their website

    Players who are better than Neymar:

    Messi
    Ronaldo
    Salah
    Mbappe
    Van Dijk
    Ramos
    De Bruyne
    D. Silva
    Aguero
    Pogba
    Modric
    Suarez
    Hazard
    Lewandowski
    Griezmann
    Kante

    Add in ~5 players from Germany and Italy that I dont watch so I cant rate them accurately. Neymar is not top 20 in the world.

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years

      I forgot Fernandinho

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I hate him but surely he is one of the best... At least top 10.

    3. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      you cant rate him next to defenders and defensive midfielders... thats just ridiculous

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Defenders and defensive midfielders arent players now?

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          In fact I probably have too few defenders and defensive players in there. I also left out goalkeeper. Neymar might break into the top 25

        2. @fpl_phenom
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          you cant compare them is why its ridiculous... do a list of attacking players and see where he holds up.... im not a massive fan of him btw....

          Its like saying Pogba is better than De Gea... like seriously !

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years

            Give the Ballon D'Or and FIFA and Player Of The Year committees a call and tell them that their awards are ridiculous.

              nah ill just tell you

                You're just not intelligent enough to think logically, are you?

                You can't compare defensive and offensive players against each other as they perform intrinsically different roles for their teams.

                I'd go a step further and say you can't compare De Gea, Ederson and Alisson against one another as they are all GK's who perform different roles for their clubs due to their style of play.

                This whole 'who is the better such and such' mentality that seems to envelope journalists and ridiculous forum frequenters is bizarre. It's so pointless it's laughable. Yaaaaaawn.

                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  You are laughable mate. Get a brain

                  I saw Neymar takes reps as a keeper at a Futsal tournament - he was awful.

      2. Party time
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I am starting to think, you look like your dp in real life but I may not be wrong

        • Penang Sandman
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Salah should be on top of the list

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            😆

          2. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Its not in order.

        • McEwan
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          40 mins to get maybe 5 at a push. A plus one for the effort and showing your working

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Compiling that list took literally 2 minutes.

            1. McEwan
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I ridicule it a bit but football is all about opinions. Guess it’s what you like

          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Honestly, I absolutely despise the guy, but that doesn't make him a poor player. He's not up there with Messi/Ronaldo but he's at the top end of the following group.

          Same goes for Ramos - hideous human but unfortunately still a brilliant foorballer.

          1. Calderano FC
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Rudi Skacel worth a mention?

        • JohnnyMagrinho
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Comparing Neymar to a player like Ramos is like saying the colour red is better than a teapot.

            Completely nonsensical and ridiculous.

            1. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Nah its pretty easy if you dont have a limited brain only able to compare within rigid categories.

              For instance: What players would be an improvement to most teams? What players would be first on the team sheet if you were to build a team from the bottom up with an unlimited budget?
              Neymar would be far down both lists

        • dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Pick 2 you would want most for weeks 30-33 ( plan to FH in 32,and WC 34)

          My own pick is AC but one of E or F could be great differential

          A Brooks
          B Fraser
          C Maddison
          D H Barnes
          E Lanzini
          F Antonio

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I would pick siggy over most of those options tbh

            1. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Agreed. Siggy is a great option.

              Unless I go without Hazard which I'm only getting for rank protection

        • jia you

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 10 Years

            And without this result he desrves the job.

              would agree but if there were any nagging doubts at board level, they are gone now surely

            oh id say he has it now... doubt it will be announced until after the season finishes

              yup, best not to annouce it until then...could be an unnecessary momentum breaker

                    some serious injuries over the int break to players that GW31 free hitters had brought in for the doubles could be a huge win also

                Would you rather have double LIV defence or double LIV ATT (i.e would TAA or Mane be more necessary. Currently have Salah and Robbo)?

                  I was one of the peole who said Olé shouldnt get the permanent job, not World Class, not a "real" manager, etc.

                  I bow my head in humble admission that I was wrong.

                  The man deserves to be MUFC manager. What a guy!

                        Almost every manager is guilty of the same stuff, bringing in players they know from before, double connections etc. Just look at Wolves for a glaring example.

                            Seems rather more, but either way that doesn't necessarily make it ok.
                            Just find it interesting how he's preserved the naive baby-face public persona.

                      Worth getting rid of Jiminez who I have 0.7 value saved in just to have King, Higuain and Vardy for GW 31, and 33 or nah?

                      If not then I'll have King and one of- Vardy or Higuain with Mane and Ake or Madisson/Fraser and Robo

                        I will play Jimenez this week and hope Wilson plays decent minutes with a view to bring in for 31/33

                          I'm also extremely tempted to wait until next week and bring in Wilson depending on mins this weekend.

                      Brooks or Maddison in for Jota this week? Will likely bring in the other one next week for Son.

                      Also considering Fraser and HBarnes but kind of settled on the above two at the moment.

                      Ta

                        What's better than another game week to review and make more informed decision

                          Yes I was considering that, but that means I have to play x2 Wolves against Chelsea. I have Jota, Jimi and Doh at the moment. If I get rid of Jota this week it means I can play Brooks or Mad against weak opposition. It might be the smarter move just to wait though, especially as they are not just moves for the short term,

                      this free hit is going to cost me a fortune in team value!

                        Time to lose Wolves players after this week anyway. I'll keep Pogba and Rash for 32 and probably Aguero

                        1. @fpl_phenom

                          5 years, 1 month ago

                          I can take out Aguero and Rashford for Higuain and Vardy for free in GW31...

                          I think this is worth it, ill be free hitting them in and wildcarding them back in of course but I cant leave this much money on the bench at the end of the day...

                            I'm not sure I want Higuain away to Everton home to West Ham. Still looks like a flat track bully. No Leicester for me atm only likely to get Chilwell/Maguire/Pereira or none

                            Leaving lots of money on bench in big blank is not the same as any week

                      Your preferred combo please?

                      A) Maddison + Wilson/King
                      B) Brooks + Higuain

                      Mane or VVD to triple with TAA and Salah? Limited options in midfield I feel for 31 and 33 and gut says I get in Ake

                          You're infectious :). Who in midfield then with Felipe A, Haz and Salah for 31 and 33?

                          I went w Mane 2 weeks ago and it has been a good choice

                            Yhyh, my ML Rival has Robo, Alison and Mane. My fear is that TAA doesn't play every game. Can see him dropped this gw possibly.

                                I hope TAA keeps his place this gw as I have him, Mane & Salah but you're right there is always that rotation risk w TAA however I believe he should keep his place now that the league is going down to the wire( easily one of the best in terms of deliveries at Liverpool)

                            xoxo

                            I'm stuck with midfield of Salah Mane Sterling Pogba Hayden so likely only Sterling to Hazard for protection

                            No forwards atm and leaning Jim>Wilson if back fit and just keep Aguero and Rashford.

                            Boruc
                            Rice TAA Lascelles atm and probably do Doherty to 31 player. 3 trades next week equals -8

                            Getting 2 Newcastle wasn't great idea if they don't play 33

                            Looking forward to FH32

                              5 years, 1 month ago

                              -8 next week will give me 10 for 31 assuming all play no injuries

                              Fair enough. Why not keen on Leicester or brooks/Fraser? I'm doing a - 12 over next 2 gws to field 11 instead of 5 if no injuries 🙂

                            Worth it to get in Kun / sterling for a hit this gw? Have only dsilva at the moment. Gw31 not a concern as already have 8 players or that. Cheers

                            The productivity of Liverpool's defenders in FPL terms is absolutely scary:

                            VVD - 0.75 returns per game: 29 starts / 22 returns (3G, 3A, 16 CS)
                            Robbo - 1.0 returns per game: 26 starts / 26 returns (0G, 9A, 17 CS)
                            TAA - 1.0 returns per game: 19 starts / 19 returns (1G, 6A, 12 CS)

                            We'll be lucky to have any of them at less than 7.0 next year

                              Noiceee, gut says attackers turn these next 3 gws though

                              Next Year:

                              Robertson 7m
                              VVD 6.5m
                              TAA 6m

                                Has a defender ever started at 7.0m before? Doesn't sound excessive when you think Robbo is outscoring every forward regardless of price

                                  Alonso? Ivanovic

                                    Now you mention it I think defs were drastically reduced in price a few years back iIrc

                                      Vidic was 8m once.

                                  Baines finished 10/11 season at 8.1 million

                                  Alonso was 7 last year. Robbo/VVD should be the first 200 point defenders this year. A defensive triple up has got me thinking.... You can't have too much of a good thing, right?

                              If only it was that simple. What chips you have and when you are using them is a huge factor, along with what price you paid.

                              Undecided, right now I'm debating Rash to Bournemouth attacker or Aguero to Higuain.

                              Sold for Vardy 2GW’s ago, proved a good decision so far (15pts to 2pts)

                                So did I but that's not what he is asking

                              Yeah I'm torn, looking at Vardy or King as Rashford's blanks are offputting.

                              Got all my chips still at least.
