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.

    Hutton > Skrtel (I have Migs already) and bench Cresswell (vs QPR) for a hit?...

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Nah.

  2. Demí

    Picture the scene.

    It's gameweek 38, and you've saved up 2 free transfers. Things are getting desperate in your main mini-league and you're 10 points behind the leader.

    You anticipate many mangers making changes to their usual XI's, giving players on the periphery all season starts in the final week, with their positions in the table all but secured. You can use one of your free transfers to pick that 1 obscure differential, that 1 player your ML leader wouldn't even think of considering, let alone owning. You put your hopes and dreams on him, you need him to be that guy who bridges the gap and wins it for you.

    Who do you pick?

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Balotelli. Such a reliable player.

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Whoever is in 2nd place for the Golden Boot and then Captain.

    3. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Costa.

      Chelsea will go to town on Sunderland in that last game.

    4. d1sable

      Sissoko!

    5. ellelelle
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I can't even see who I'm going to captain for GW34.. I can't even...

    6. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Tony fecking Hibbert of course

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        No idea really. I've been having a look at GW 38. I was thinking Benteke but I guess he might get rested now.

        1. Spencer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Why rested Timbo?

          1. GreenWindmill
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            If they're safe from relegation he may get saved for the cup final. Just a possibility but worth fretting about.

            1. Spencer
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 9 months ago

              My mind's all over the place. I forgot Villa were in the final!

              Cheers Windmill.

          2. A.T
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            Cup final. But hang on, haven't they changed the date now or is that next year? 😳

            1. GreenWindmill
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

              Nope, final on 30 May, weekend after the last league games.

    Kane Murray

    (Berahino Bellerín PvA Howard)

    Already taken a hit this week, but willing to take another. Any transfer tips well recieved. 🙂
    Got 1.7 in bank.

    1. Point Magnets

      Waltes and Kane 》 Vardy and Henderson

      Panti
      Skrtel Ivan Bertrand
      Sterling Hendo Silva Hazard Sanchez
      Vardy Murray

  4. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Biggest pickle of the season. Who the hell do I replace Sturridge with? And it is for a hit.

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Giroud.

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Can't you bench him and switch to Giroud for next week?

    2. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      aguero vardy or giroud

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Well I have Aguero already. I just wish there were better options with a DGW than Vardy. Giroud may just make sense at least I would be lined up better for next week. So depressing

        1. mgilbert86
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          wouldn't trade out for a hit unless for a dgw, bench him

          1. Lallana_
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            Sturridge might be back for QPR which is pretty decent 🙂

            1. Ruth_NZ
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 9 months ago

              Nah. Sicknote is not to be relied upon.

    3. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Costa if Mourinho even hints he's fit.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        It is tempting. The only differential which could make the difference. This bad punt on Sturridge a few weeks ago was stupid from the outset. Grrr

  5. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    How's this look for my Wildcard team:

    Schmeichel
    Ivan, Terry, Skrtel. Schlupp
    Coutinho, Sterling, Hazard (c)
    Vardy, Murray, Aguero
    (Ospina, Sanchez, PVA, Grealish)

    Money in the bank to get either Benteke or Giroud for Murray next week.

    Anything need changing?
    Too much in defence?
    Need more Hendo?

    Thoughts?

    1. ellelelle
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I like everything except that I'd consider replacing Ospina.. because I think it would be more lucrative to have 3 Arsenal outfield.

      1. ellelelle
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        And I think Pants is the replacement most have gone with.. should get you some save points in GW37!

      2. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        This is a good point. Thanks.

        The only thing is, given the FA cup final won't be far away after the dgw, which Arsenal forwards would be nailed on for 2 games?

        I'd like Sanchez and Giroud, but would Ramsey or Ozil definitely get two starts?

        1. ellelelle
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Well you'll have some time to figure that out, but I imagine so!

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      The team has a good 4-4-2 structure.

      Henderson for Coutinho
      Elmohamady for Grealish and play him
      Giroud for Murray and bench him

      Save yourself a FT.

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks for the tips.
        That's also very tempting.

        Would you prefer Giroud over Benteke?

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Giroud will be a must for 37 so yes. Has good fixtures from next week too.

          I disagree slightly with Elle. Ospina, Sanchez, Giroud is about perfect for your 3 Arsenal in my view.

          1. Chenku╰☆╮
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            Is he? I am thinking going 3 arsenal mids instead.

            1. Ruth_NZ
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 9 months ago

              I think so. Others may differ. But at a similar price to Cazorla, Ramsey and Ozil I'd much rather have Giroud.

  6. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Ryan Taylor worth a punt on WC? Good fixtures and on corners...

    1. gers23
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Not for me.Newcastle are in free fall

    2. Phillips
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      You've been looking at it too long 🙂

      Start again tomorrow!

  7. smash
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Grealish or JWP for 5th mid on wildcard?

  8. GuillermoDickero
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Think I've finally decided!
    Would appreciate any advice

    Wildcard Team
    Schmeichel (Davis)
    Terry Moreno Schlupp (Duff Toby)
    Hazard Sterling Hendo Fabregas (Sanchez)
    Vardy Aguero Kane

    What do people think? I'm worried that I might have too much value tied up in Sanchez

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I think Southampton are done.
      Other than that, I like it.

      1. GuillermoDickero
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Not sure who I would realistically want to put in instead of Southampton Defenders.
        They still have one of the best defensive records in the league.
        Plus I can hardly imagine them giving up on a Europa League spot (aren't there 2 places available since Chelsea won the Capital One Cup?)

    2. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      U dont ask advice once u decided 🙂 go skertel over moreno if u have funds or ivan over terry?

  9. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    1. Erikson > Fab/Sterling/Coutinho (pick 1)
    2. Should I Get two for a hit (for silva or Sanchez)?

    1. ellelelle
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      1. Fab
      2. Nah..

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I'd did Eriksen and Silva for both however I'm chasing ML leader I've gotta take some risks running out of games

  10. datamunkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    A) Kos > Skrtel -4pts
    B) Silva > Stirling -4pts
    C) Both -8pts
    D) Don't be greedy

    Have Ivan, Terry, Haz, Hendo

    1. JaydenLFC87
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      A

  11. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Cesc false 9? Could be awesome, could be crap.

    1. ellelelle
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      hopefully awesome..

    2. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      There're too many uncertainties surrounding this DGW. Especially in the Chelsea camp. I don't like it.

    3. Planet Jo
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Coutinho also false 9

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Or sterling

    4. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      He's great there.

      1. mgilbert86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        spain, barcelona

        think i may punt on him for ozil as i don't want ozil for arsenal, want ramsey and sanchez

  12. JaydenLFC87
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    GtG? ?

    Mignolet
    Fonte/Ivan/Bertrand
    Haz(C)/Sterling/Fab/Cout
    Vardy/Aguero/Kane

    Myhil/Eriksen/Bellerin/PVA

    1. JaydenLFC87
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Anyone???

    2. No Luck
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I'd play Bellerin over Fonte

    3. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      🙄

  13. 1zverGGademN
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Is it likely for Mahrez to start in both DGW games? Any Leicester fans?

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I'm not a Leicester fan, but I don't think he'll start either game.
      They've won 3 on the bounce since he got dropped to the bench.

      1. 1zverGGademN
        • 11 Years

    2. mgilbert86

      So what are the prospects on Silva? I

      1. mgilbert86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        sorry, but to your question, doubt it

    3. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Looks pretty doubtful I'm afraid.

      1. 1zverGGademN
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Well that means JWP>Cambiasso for a -4 hit

  14. Littlebitwizardoföz
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    (WRONG THREAD) Want to get rid of Silva, Remy, Toby, Clyne, Foster + Naughton

    Team is:
    Foster Myhill
    Clyne Toby Terry Naughton Wasilewski
    Hazard Sanchez Silva Henderson Boyd
    Aguero Kane Remy

    Any ideas as to priority? 1.2m, 1FT.

    Cheers, appreciated

    1. ellelelle
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      My main dilemma with your team is how to turn Remy into Giroud.. which ideally you'd be able to do for GW35. This week you could go Naughton to Lovren.. that'd deal with the injury problem and add a DGW player.. but then you'd have Lovren on your team. I think it's a good time to sell Clyne and that might be the best solution. Maybe get Moreno.. Then next week you'll have enough for Remy to become Giroud.

      You could also switch Silva to Sterling for a hit to free up some cash.. Liverpool have QPR next week which could be fortuitous.

  15. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Any news on Remy?

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Loic they'd tell us..

      1. Reedy
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Presser tomorrow but you know what Mou is like. I don't expect much clarity

    2. Lallana_

      I'd Cech tomorrow.

    Does anyone know what Silva's chances of starting are?

    1. Spectre_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      he's back in training so should start

    2. Planet Jo

      10 years, 9 months ago

      99%

  17. Planet Jo
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Which feels better?

    A. Courtois + Skrtel
    B. Mignolet + Terry

    Any chance that Diame will start both games for Hull?

    1. No Luck
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      50/50 for me

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Yes. But he's not match fit and it can't be relied on.

    3. MMN
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Any chance? Yes.

      Is the large enough to invest? No.

    Hey gang,

    WC Team, I would love some advice.

    Hamer Krul
    Skrtel Schlupp Ivanovic Shackell Bellerin
    Boyd Hazard Sterling Fabregas Sanchez
    Austin Rooney Kane

    Thoughts?

    I think I could leave Krul in goals for every remaining game, and hopefully he would pick up save points or cleans.
    Skrtel and Ivanovic are the big budget at the back and the others have the good fixtures
    Hazard Sterling Fabregas and Sanchez is hard to argue with and a cheaper 4.6 mid in Boyd. Any better options?

    Austin and Kane for this week anyway, maybe move kane out next week.

    Im not sure about rooney, but feel united are in good form and he is the only player really worth having but can he score from deep A toughie.

    Help much appreciated ,as always.
