It’s not often that we get to spend a good portion of the ScoutCast discussing Leicester City’s rich array of Fantasy talent.

That’s how this week’s episode pans out, as Luke aka “D1sable” does his George Boyd act to come off the bench and join myself, Granville and Jonty to analyse the impending double Gameweek.

We tackle the usual ScoutCast regulars, whilst deflecting the latest round of questions from the community, assessing the great Foxes hunt, the Hazard versus Sterling gamble and even how we can possibly eek out a valid target amongst the Hull City squad. Meanwhile, Granville is dreaming of a three-digit points bonanza as he joins the world’s number one in activating his belated FPL Wildcard.

This week’s episode was beamed out live on Monday evening via Google Hangouts. You can catch the full fat version via the player below.

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

    On wildcard.

    Midfield at the moment is

    Haz. Fab. Sterling. Henderson. Boyd

    No silva or Sanchez worries me.

    With doing fab > Sanchez and having terry as my third Chelsea player along with haz and ivanovic?

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'd rather have Silva then turn Sterling into Sanchez GW36.

      2. super zlatan
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Is silva likely to play this week?

        I assume everyone waiting for the pressers before making a decision

        1. Mílanista
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah, wait for pressers of course but it sounds like he's fine.

          1. super zlatan
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers milanista.

            Thoughts on this potential WC team?

            Kasper
            Ivan. Terry. Skrtel
            Hazard. Silva. Sterling. Henderson. Cambiasso
            Aguero. Kane

            Subs. Panti. Giroud. PvA. Duff

            1. Mílanista

              Looks good SZ, seems to have everything covered.

    When is The Machine making an appearance on the Scoutcast?

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Never mind the machine.

      Any word on zlatan making an appearance in scoutcast?

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

      The Machine/s will take over this site, careful what you wish for..

  5. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    What is the general consensus on Silva starting? Yes/no

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    2. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      See above. I need to know this also

    3. andy85wsm

      Reckon he will (and hope he will!)

    4. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Don't see any reason why he wouldn't much to my annoyance.

    5. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers all. I think he will start, hope so.

  6. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Is Skrtel's goal threat as good as they say?

    There's two things that people will tell you when considering Liverpool defence, and that is Skrtel is the main man because of goal threat and bonus. I won't argue the bonus point of view but I feel the goal threat is potentially being over valued.

    I took a look earlier and found some interesting stats

    Goal attempts in the box this season:

    Ivanovic - 26
    Terry - 16
    Skrtel - 14
    Moreno - 13

    Moreno only has 1 less goal attempt in 300 less minutes. Ivanovic is a bit of a unique one when it comes to attempts but Terry also has similar to Skrtel.

    It doesn't mean Skrtel has less threat but he's certainly not head and shoulders above the other popular DGW defenders, even in the Liverpool team.

    Additionally I looked at last year where Skrtel managed a very awesome 7 goals! He managed to do that with only 15 goal attempts in the box scoring nearly 1 in every 2 goal attempts in the box. He's only 1 attempt behind last season and 6 goals less.

    It's also worth noting that prior to last season Skrtel had never scored more than 2 goals in the premier league in one season so last season is a bit of an anomaly.

    All that being said Skrtel is probably the one I'll go for but not really because of his goal threat 🙂

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

      He's as big a goal threat as any CB in the Premier League. He just scored a lot last season because of Stevie G's beautiful set-plays.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Well he's only scored one this season and at least 2 in the last 4 seasons so he's certainly due 🙂

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I think it's more to do with baps than goal threat

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah probably.

        Moreno is certainly a nice option though - if I get priced out of the Skrtel move I won't be too bothered I don't think.

        1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah I wouldn't be too concerned either on that score, a decent alternative

        2. Ziegler1988
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Moreno would have taken three baps against Newcastle if not for the yellow card. He's no slouch in terms of BPS and will only be helped by no Sakho

    3. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I have always said BAPs is the reason for Skrtel.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        BPs aren't everything 🙂 Although Fonte is doing alright!

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          But there's so little difference in attacking threat that BAPs can make the difference if neither get attacking returns

          1. andy85wsm
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah you're probably right.

            I'm still waiting for that goal, assist and clean sheet match from Moreno after watching the Spurs game so early on 🙂

    4. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Could be a bit rusty, not match fit.

  7. roghippo
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Defo Silva will start

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      How do you know this?

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

        Like to know this also ?

  8. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    The communities opinion of the below team would be appreciated, any suggestions of a hit or stick? Would ideally like to keep 1.5mil for Remy >Giroud next gw

    Panti Mannone
    Fonte Alderwiereld Morgan Baird Bellerin
    Hendo Fabs Hazard Boyd Sanchez
    Kane Remy Aguero
    £1.5ITB and 0FT

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Defence needs some work.
      Remy is a headache. I would ship him

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

      Think Giroud can wait. I ( and The Machine ) will Cpt Sterling , so would go Sanchez to Sterling -4

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

        I'm probably going to captain Hazard so maybe Alderweireld to Moreno, though prefer Lovren's budget!

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

          Ok , yeah, then liking Moreno myself . See him getting something to QPR the following gw also ?

  9. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Play Sanchez or Kane this week?

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Kane given his ownership.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Kane

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      sanchez probably

  10. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Mario Gomez goal

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

      Hit the button.
      Got that grav yet ?

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

        hit

  11. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    First film I see at the Odean in Liverpool and I get a picture with Balotelli. For some reason he went to Nandos only for five minutes but he's quite a nice guy. Shame Rodgers is useless and can't get the best out of him.

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He must be a fast eater

  12. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Dawson and silva to Terry and Henderson for - 8 gives me

    Krul
    Ivan skrtel Terry (fonte baird )
    Hazard sterling Henderson Albrighton ( Ramsey )
    Kane aguero vardy

    Is it worth doing.cheers fellas

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Can you afford Migs and Fabregas instead? 1 Che defender enough methinks - poor away record vis a vis cleanies.

  13. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    So if Remy is declared fit I'm probably going -8 including a Leicester defender.

    Who we thinking - still Schlupp?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      may as well, tho i prefer morgan/huth

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I'd briefly forgotten about Huth actually, probably who I'll go for

  14. http.naypex
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    G2G?

    Davis K
    Skrtel ivan wolly
    Hazzard (C) silva bolasie sterling
    Kun kane murray

  15. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Don't want to take any more hits this week and happy with my DGW players, but struggling with choosing my eleven.

    Need to choose 2 from Bertie, Toby, Wolly or Zouma.

    Need to choose 2 from Kane, Sanchez or Walters.

    I'm torn as think Stoke will beat Sunderland and Wolly and Walters could be differentials.

  16. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Any1 not going with hazard captain?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Getting very tempted by Sterling.

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Tempted by Skrtel more tbh!

        1. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Not worth the risk for me

      2. Bojaninho
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        whats the temptation? Fixtures, positioning?

        1. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Pretty much. Just a gut feeling too.

          I think I'll probably end up on Hazard though

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

    Good to go? -4 point hit.

    Krul

    Terry Schlupp Skrtel (Bruce, PVA)

    Sterling Hazard(c) Silva Fabregas (Boyd)

    Aguero Vardy Kane

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      You have done very well to get 7 DGWers with just a -4. Good work.

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

        Cheers. Hoping this can be the week I can pull away from rivals

  18. Rui
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Henderson or Coutinho? Money no issue.

    Cheers.

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

      Coutinho

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

      Coutinho for me

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Coutinho

    4. Rui
      • 14 Years

  19. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    • 11 Years

    Fab (DGW) or Silva (Aston Villa HOME)??

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      fab

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Ok, thanks. 🙂

  20. t4thomas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    ALL DONE.

    Davis
    Ivanovic | Terry | Moreno
    Sanchez | Hazard | Henderson | Sterling
    Aguero | Giroud | Vardy

    Huth | Phillips | Duff | Gilks

    0.2M.

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

      Play Huth over Sanchez

      1. t4thomas
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Reckon??

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

          Yes! The defender with the most goalthreat lately playing twice va Sanchez one game vs a Mourinho bus. Can't see Arsenal scoring more than one, maybe not even one.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Sweet. I'd downgrade some of those bench players (Huth and Phillips) and get a DGW keeper and bench Davis. But that is close to perfect IMO.

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

      Very nice. I'd also be tempted to play Huth over an Arsenal player

    4. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks All.

      I have been desperate to get Huth on.

      You've given me an excuse now... Sanchez to bench.

    5. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      EVEN MORE ALL DONE

      Davis
      Ivanovic | Terry | Moreno | Huth
      Sanchez | Hazard | Henderson | Sterling
      Aguero | Giroud | Vardy

      Sanchez | Phillips | Duff | Gilks

      0.2M.

      Does feel a bit criminal coming out of a WC with a 4-4-2, but needs must.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Go Phillips to Grealish and get Schmeichel for an extra DGW. Saints are done.

        1. t4thomas
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah, tempting move actually.

          I just fancy Phillips to get a few assists... Not been getting on board with this grealish love. AVs fixtures pretty ropey too.

          I could just do Davis --> Schmeichel.

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah fair enough I suppose. But are you likely to play Phillips over Vardy in any matches. Get Grealish and upgrade Gilks to Panti and do Davis to Schmeichel then you have a DGW37 player and the perfect team (my team).

            1. t4thomas
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              Now you're talking.

              1. t4thomas
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 8 months ago

                Ah wait, then no cash for Sterling --> Giroud.

                Back to Schmeichel only plan.

                1. t4thomas
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 8 months ago

                  * Ramsey.

                  1. Mr. O'Connell
                    • 13 Years
                    10 years, 8 months ago

                    Downgrade Huth and play Sanchez to fund the keepers move

          2. ellelelle
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            I like the Phillips punt.. I think QPR will play aggressively now. Grealish might be better value but I'd fancy Phillips to get more!

        2. t4thomas
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Or Panti?

  21. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Would you go for a GK pairing of Pants/Schmeichel if it meant getting Sanchez/Giroud/Ramsey for the other DGW?

    The other option is Migs/Myhill and getting Kosielny instead of Ramsey.

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      First one

    2. ellelelle
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Pants and Schmeichel works better I think.

  22. Bojaninho
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    mandess to Hutton>Schlupp for -4

    1. wolves_simmo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Do it!!

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

      Nope.
      He should make up the - 4 quite easily imo , over Hutton , over the rest of the season

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years

        even with Costa's imminent return?

          Way I figure it, even if Costa is risked for the Arsenal game - there's no way he'll be risked for the Leicester game.

          Remy would be likely to start that one (if he's fit). I'd rather have Remy vs Leicester than Costa vs Arsenal.

            this, will see what presser says but i agree with WAM, its been a disaster transfer all round unless he scores 3 in the double 🙂

    So it's St George's day in England and In the heart of East Mids, the county so proud of its English football team, and I have not seen one hat, flag, pub with memorabilia or any talk of St George to indicate a celebration of the culture and heritage. Poor show. Explain?

      Not even really sure who St George is to be honest or why we should celebrate him

        Imagine no Guiness in Dublin on St Paddys day = riot

          But that's the only reason everyone likes Paddys Day really!

          An excuse for Guiness

            The English don't need St George's day to get pissed...They have Friday and Saturday night every week...

    Right guys, internet's been cut off since a few days ago. Now using my neighbours wifi, Id like to get a feel for the DGW WC trends:

    How many DGWers are you going with?

    Which non DGW players are you keeping (or even playing)?

    Thanks

          We're all a bit nuts paying for our own Internet connection. We all should share as much as we can and stop filling the pockets of rip off companies.
