Myself, Granville and Jonty welcomed Fantasy Premier League royalty for this week’s episode, as reigning champion, Tom Fenley, made his belated ScoutCast debut.

Tom joined us to talk us through his difficult post-championship season, whilst lending his informed view the situation facing the current Fantasy Football Scout league leader, and FPL number one, Simon March, aka “Dufflinks”.

Of course, we were also glad to have Tom’s expertise on board to help us grapple with the latest round of topics fed to us by the community. Amongst the many issues tackled, we attempt to explain the withering form of Sergio Aguero, discussing the merits or otherwise of an Argentine exit strategy.

This episode was recorded on Tuesday evening with a live Hangout broadcast. If you missed that and you really want to catch up on the latest beard developments (Tom abstains from this), you can view the Hangout in full via the movie below.

If you prefer to have your ScoutCast slip down that little bit easier, you’ll be wanting the rather more slick and refined audio version via this link or the first player below.

Be sure to subscribe to our Youtube channel if you want to be kept informed of future live ScoutCasts.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Evening chaps. So a good GW coming up on paper: most of my squad face Bur, QPR, Hull, Lei, AVL

    It's a challenge who to bench. Would it be madness to bench Aguero or Silva in a week like this?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      What's your team?

      1. Dugout
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        sorry been away from laptop.

        my team is:

        Pants
        Terry, Bert, Clyne, Kos, Dawson
        Haz, Silv, Erik, Mane, Boyd
        Kane, Giroud, Aguero

        would bench Dawson, Boyd, and one other...

  2. Pringle
    • 12 Years

    Who do you prefer this week? Cazorla or Ramsey?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Caz

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Ramsey till the end

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Interesting that you have a goalkeeper version of Austin

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Stone Cold Steve Austin 😎

      2. martyhan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah it is isn't it.

  4. Elijah's Wood
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Best mid for under £5m?

    Would only be played for GW 33 and 34, thinking of punting on Cambiasso unless there are better options?

    1. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Would prefer Matty James to Cambiasso.

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Shhhh....

        1. Ludo
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Sorry, meant to say go for Cambiasso.

          4 goals this season is a decent return.

          *whistles innocently*

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • 11 Years

        Im not familiar with Leicester players at all so if this isnt a joke then i may do it lol

  5. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    right I'm off, done thinking about the wc for the day

  6. Numb
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Seeing Gnu mentioning Yahoo on the last page was a blast from the past and reminded me of other search engines I used to use like Hotbot, Alta Vista and Web Crawler.

    Out of interest, does anyone on here NOT use Google as their default search engine now?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I use http://zlaaatan.com/

      1. Numb
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I am reluctant to even click on that!

        1. Gooner97
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          🙁

        2. Numb
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          That is so random! Looks suspiciously based on Google though!

      2. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years

        Damn I was just about to post that 😆

      3. Lallana_
        • 11 Years

        Jokes on him. I typed "Ibrahimovic is bad" and got results.

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'll blast from the past you..... Google but still use Yahoo mail.

      1. Numb
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Ha ha. I'll look you up on MySpace.

    3. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I have a mate who swears by Bing.

      He works for Microsoft though, so go figure.

      1. Numb
        • 10 Years

        That doesn't count!

          • 16 Years

          🙁
          You do realise that Numb is almost an annogram of Bum!

          1. Numb

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          It makes every page of FFS so much better.

        Fantasy Footbizzle Tips is a wonderful site.

        1. Numb
          • 10 Years

          How does that even work???

          1. Somalion
            • 15 Years

            Magic.

      DuckDuckGo ; the search engine that doesn't track you

  7. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Who is keeping Austin?

    1. tetters
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I will. QPR love playing Chelsea, as good a day as any for him to score.

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Not me . Remy or Murray

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Already have Punch so don't think double Palace is a nice idea.
        Probably going Remy

      2. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Either likely to be top picks. Can't get Remy myself.

    3. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Don't think i will, not with the blank

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        This ^. Gomis, Murray or remy, but with two ft, a WC, a Chelsea opponent, and then a blank, Austin has to go on my team.

  8. tetters
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Any help for my Motley Crew?

    Myhill

    Dawson Ivan Kosc Aldi
    Eriksen Hazard Sanchez
    Kane Aguero Austin

    Panti Pva Mane JWP

    1FT 0itb

    1. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Play Mane, and save.

    2. Cousin Greg
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Play Mane. He is playing at home sweet home.
      Kosc is injured too.

  9. mad_beer ✅
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    This will be the week Aguero scores and ruins my plan of getting rid of him.

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      His next 2 games after United will stop people from getting rid of him

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Just like Sanchez last GW?
      I hope so

    3. Viper
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He has actually become a differential for me so I'll probably keep until the end unless Sturridge makes a strong case..

  10. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    I wonder if this would ever happen in the PL

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32242750

  11. Viper
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    How does this tentative plan look for the upcoming weeks

    This week: Austin -> Gomis, save 2nd FT

    Gwk 33: Naughton -> Schlupp, save 2nd FT

    Gwk 34: Bertrand, Eriksen & Sanchez -> Skrtel, Henderson & Coutinho/Fabregas, -4.

    It gives me: Skrtel, Schlupp, Terry, Hazard, Henderson, Coutinho/Fabregas for -4.

    Decent provisional plan? Anything obvious I'm overlooking?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Surely you want 3 Che now?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I know quite amazing. I posted a link above 🙂

      1. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Just saw it! Such a strange situation haha
        I know there was a shootout so long they had to carry it over to the next day

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          She did extremely well to hold her nerve and score the spot kick.

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Poor Graziano

    2. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Not even close... to needing Hawkeye

  12. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Do u also can't resist sometimes to use your transfer and get player before team news on Friday or Saturday just to be sure that your player is completely fit and haven't got some injury in midweek? 😀

    That's me right now with Gomis.

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Easy to resist. Gomis isn't THAT crucial!!

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        But his face is so smooth.

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          😆

      2. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I don't have any player at 12:45 😀

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Fair enough. But you can buy one 76mins beforehand.

  13. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Hmm. Its actually only against the big teams that Sturridge hasn't started. Has also not yet blanked when in the starting XI since his return from injury.

    The more I think about it, the more he seems like the outstanding captaincy option for GW34, given its against West Brom and Hull...

    1. Egg noodle
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'm going to (C)Hazard. Rather safe than sorry.

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, I think hazard capt in gw34 is low risk, high reward.

    2. 11 Angry Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yes I am tossing up between them both as well. Need to get this right as I captained Aguero last week when I had Austin in the team! Epic epic epic fail.

  14. DrunkPhilosophy
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Panti Hamer
    Ivan Terry Rose Naughton Biard
    Mane Eriksen Silva Hazard Boyd
    Augero Kane Giroud

    1.4 itb , 2 FT

    GW32: Panti + Naughton --> Davis + Bertrand
    GW33: Giroud --> Gomis
    GW34: WC

    How does that sound? Any other 2 week punts you would recommend?

    Thanks!

    1. Shipstontrev

      10 years, 8 months ago

      Palace have sun/WBA/HUL as their next three. Puncheon or Murray could be worth having.

        Look at Pringle's question. I have a good mind to report that!

  16. Numb

    10 years, 8 months ago

    Forget FPL, who is the better player - Sterling or Coutinho?

    1. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Coutinho far more talented imo, has always been about consistency with him.

      1. Numb

    Any players you would bring in if you were wild carding?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, quite a few

    2. Numb
      • 10 Years

      Definitely

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

      i'd bring in a few, take a few out too

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Oh you guys. That was too easy....

  19. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    I already have Terry Hazard and Moreno for the DGW:

    gw 33: Sanchez --> Fabregas
    gw 34: Eriksen --> Coutinho

    I also have Myhill and Given as my gk, but wba's fixtures aren't that great after gw 34, so the original plan was to do Given --> Davis but I feel that 5 dgw players isn't enough so which one:

    A) Moses (5th middfielder) --> Henderson
    B) Given --> Mignolet instead of Davis (already have Clyne as Saints cover)

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Fabregas is a poor choice

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Any suggestions? Maybe Sterling the week after and play Moses instead of Sanchez in that week?

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          You're looking at transfers that are a week away.

            It's always good to have a little plan in mind, to avoid some hits

        A 5th middfielder with a price tag of 6.5 or something will indeed limit my options elsewhere, leaning towards B myself considering Pool's fixtures

  23. FF Dirtbag

    I have panti and Mannone. So no goalkeeper to start for gw33 at the moment. Is it necessary to get a gk in? Especially with the dgw is it worth the free transfer?

    1. Planet Jo
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      No really. Who would you get? No-one cheap worth getting. Speroni maybe

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Possibly Schmeichel?

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Probably not for a hit

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        But for free? X

        1. FF Dirtbag

          Woops don't know where that x came

    D. Aguero

    Wilcard owners.

    Best to use it for GW34 yeah?

    1. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'd say so. Chelsea and Liverpool together is good.

      1. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Or if you have enough LFC/Chelsea players just wildcard later.
