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.

    I'm sure this is sacrilege to be considering moves and transfers beyond the DGW, but currently have Bertrand and Clyne - am looking to replace Clyne with either:

    A) Stones

    or

    B) Jagielka

    Essentially, is Jags worth the extra outlay?

    1. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Top-of-the-page sacrilege and everything.

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      A for me

      1. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Obliged.

    3. Trigg ⭐️
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      No, I don't think he is. Use the difference elsewhere.

      1. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Yer, I was gonna write "...is Jags worth the extra outlay? Or would I be better off saving the cash to use elsewhere if the need arises" but assumed people would get the implication (!)

        Ta 🙂

    Andy Robertson OUT Hulls game v Palace

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

      Which team does he play for out of those?

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Hull

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

          Does anyone care about this player I've not heard of?

          1. Business Dog
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            No

          2. Trigg ⭐️
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Does he mean McShane or Bruce are more nailed on? Is he a defender?

            1. ADucksBehind
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              Ah lads! Come on, how do you not know Robertsen? Scotland left back

  3. jernej93
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Who are you captaining this GW?

    I am currently on Hazard vs Sterling 🙂

    Hazard: better form, more consistent, best FPL player, but playing versus Arsenal (bus)

    Sterling: playing upfront, better fixtures than Hazard, but unreliable

    1. Norfolk&Chance
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Ivan (C)

    2. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah one of those.

    3. @ImpressiveTackl
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling not necessarily playing up front.

    4. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Gut is telling me Sterling, but Hazard is just so good. I think I'll end up on Sterling though.

  4. Kings of Lyon ★
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    I had dream last night where I woke up at 12:30 on Saturday with Ibe Gardos Fletcher Song and Cattermole in my WC starting 11. I need to reevaluate my life

    1. @ImpressiveTackl
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Was it a wet one?

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        If it was Giroud Pelle and Fabregas then it might have been

        1. @ImpressiveTackl
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Not having Fabregas in there. Aguero is better looking.

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

            Daley Blind does not like this.

            1. Kings of Lyon ★
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              Blind is a decent shout.

              1. @ImpressiveTackl
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 8 months ago

                Nice hair.

              2. Beavis
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 8 months ago

                Saw him at M&S the other day and got a photo with him! Very attractive man.

                Also asked him if he'd be back for the weekend so Rooney can go up front but all he said is that he 'hoped' so.

                1. @ImpressiveTackl
                  • 15 Years
                  10 years, 8 months ago

                  These are wonderful lies. 😛

                    Lol I have a photo if you want to see. I'll show you on Twitter!

                    1. @ImpressiveTackl

                      That shiznit should be up on Twitter already my brother!

                  DB: why would you ask?
                  Beavis: I own you in FPL 😀

            Na hes too small

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No Mata 😯

  5. Trigg ⭐️
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Keep taking hits, people. I'll be top 10k before a ball is kicked 😀

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

      And after all games are played...?

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I'd be pretty disappointed if I used my WC this week and dropped 😆

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

          Ahh.. touche. I would too 😀

    2. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      not even top 10k at this stage? wow

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Outside the top 0.3 percent is pretty shoddy, I know.

        1. The Gambler.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          just joking mate, good luck!

          1. Trigg ⭐️
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Top 10k is actually an achievement in my eyes, it's harder than it looks!

            Good luck to you too - aiming for top 10, I presume? 😉

  6. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years

    Battle of cheapie def/fodder:

    Duff or Yoshida?

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

      Duff because he's against crappy Leicester. Yoshida only plays when others are injured.

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

      Yoshida, provided he plays.

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

    Bench Kane or Giroud?

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Kane

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

      Or Silva...

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

      Can I go with neither?

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

        Well, yeah, but then I'd have to bench Silva against Villa.

  8. U-jin King™
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    I've used 3 Transfers for Sturridge, he's been in my team for 7 weeks cummilative, he has scored 0 points. FML

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

      Bad decision. :/

    2. @ImpressiveTackl

      1. SPorting

        Please don't use that word mate. Not even with the 3 and @.

        1. @ImpressiveTackl
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Cool. Just a quote from a well known film but can see how it may be offensive.

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            No...not "cool"...You knew it wou.d cause offence and that's why you tried to disguise it. Not cool at all...offensive and you intended to offend.

            1. @ImpressiveTackl
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              Honestly I didn't but whatever.

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Why do you use that word...?...It's disgusting to see that used in that way when you have a child with special needs.

        1. @ImpressiveTackl
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Apologies. Lesson learned.

    Favourite cheap defender ever in FPL?

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

      Ryan taylor.x

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

      Wardinho for me

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

        Actually forget that.....Bale when he was classed as a defender early in his career, followed by early Colman (4.5 I think)

    3. Trigg ⭐️
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      John Pantsil!

    4. pompeyfan
      • 16 Years

      Bale

    5. The Gambler.

      Mariappa

    6. SPorting

      Demel.

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

        Don't think I ever owned him.

        1. SPorting
          • 14 Years

          Then you missed out on one of the FPL wonders of the 21st century.

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

      Barry Ferguson . He was the darling of the old bonus points system

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

        Except that he was a midfielder wasn't he?

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

      Cuellar was another favourite of mine

    I love the variation in peoples spelling of Skrtel's name 😀

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

      I have noticed this. In fairness not the easiest...

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

    Fabregas or Sterling?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling.. cannot afford both?

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

        On a -8 atm, could get both but -12 seems a bit silly.

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          I would do it..

          could easily score 12+ points with 5+ players

    2. @ImpressiveTackl
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling.

  16. mojoindojo
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    If you do not play your WC then end of season 30 points should be added to your final score.
    Will make it more interesting.

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Would love this rule

    2. Jabba12
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Interesting

      But theoretically you could keep your wildcard

      Save 2fts then take a 28 point hit

      You'd be able to make 9 transfers and still be net +2 points in effect

    3. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      30 isn't a lot though. 50-60 to make it worth while.

    4. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      If you can't use a WC to return more than 30 points then you don't deserve a WC.

      Seriously, where's the skill in doing nothing all season?

  17. fishnil
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    How does my WC team look? Also what do you think of the starting 11 for GW34? Bench players in brackets (). ITB 3.8

    Mignolet (Panti)
    Terry, Azpi, PvA, (Jagielka, Wasil)
    Hazard, Sterling, Hendo, Sanchez, Cambiasso
    Verdy, Kun, (Kane)

    Plan to make Sterling -> Caz, Vardy -> Giroud in the coming 2 weeks.
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Jabba12
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'd change Vasil to someone else (Maybe Schlupp) and Bench PVA

  18. The Gambler.
    • 16 Years

    only Mignolet has risen in value!

    wtf are they playing at?

        That's actually pretty good.

  19. For Fuchs Sake
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Sterling over Hendo because he'll play up top with Sturridge out right?

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

      He might, but no-one knows.

      1. @ImpressiveTackl

        ^^^

    2. SPorting
      • 14 Years

      Something like that, yeah.

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

      Coutinho might, like against Newcastle. Or Balotelli.

    All this talk of Sterling has got me worried.

    Panti

    JT Skrtel Bruce

    Hazard Cesc Henderson Silva

    Kane Kun Giroud

    Hamer, Toby, Boyd, Baird

    Should I be doing Silva->Sterling for a hit?

    Terry -> Ivan on WC a waste of 1.0? Ivan offers much more attacking threat, but I bought Terry at 6.5. Selling value 6.7, so yeah, it'll cost me 1.0. Was set on keeping Terry but not sure.

    1. Jebiga

      keep terry

    2. sminkypinky

      At this part of the season I wouldn't. Chelsea will be tight and Terry likes a set piece goal.

    I need a cheap midfielder for my wildcard team.
    Won’t play this week, but will definitely need him to do something in gw 36.

    Is Jack Grealish a decent option?
    He should start every game now shouldn’t he?

    1. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Lucas.

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

      He'll be high on hippy crack so no

    3. sminkypinky

      Albrighton? Against Sou @ home in gw36.
