Our latest ScoutCast episode is dedicated to the memory of long-time community member Simon Humber, aka “Absinthe”, who sadly passed away last week.

Granville, Jonty and myself pay our respects by going about our business – just as Absinthe would have wanted.

We overcome Granville’s late arrival to analyse Gameweek 36, while deflecting the latest bout of community posers that have us assess the likelihood of Chelsea rotation, run the rule over Arsenal assets and lament the demise of Sir Leighton Baines. We also take time out to reflect on our season’s biggest errors, while Granville is given the unenviable task of selecting the best Fantasy manager from Jonty and myself – like a sultry temptress choosing between a pair of doting admirers.

This episode was aired on Tuesday evening via the magic of Google Hangouts. You can witness Granville’s unceremonious crash landing in all its glory via the full fat YouTube version below. Alternatively, if you prefer your ScoutCast more refined, you’ll require the edited audio mp3 via this link or the first player below.

Don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel for alerts on new episodes and to get involved in the Hangout live discussion next week.

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

    I got Ramsey's points last week is it worth switching to Ozil or Caz this GW? at this stage I have no other pressing issues with my team.

    Thanks

      tough. with 3gw left..1 week out for ramsey is significant.

      i would say swap him out if he is declared out

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Wasn't Arsenals press conference yesterday? Will we hear anymore on Ramsey? Befo

        1. CBC
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Press Conference today., I think The rest is just from their website.

    2. Ziro Becomes One
      • 10 Years

      Hold till next week's deadline if you can afford it. He might still play.

      you 3 arses ay? so you could switch and then switch back if you want. unless there's another player you'd like to get

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Yep I held Bellerin and Sanchez back in GW33 and brought in Rambo for Sterling last gw

    4. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Or if Rambo ruled out Rambo >> Walcott just got interesting

      1. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        haha never ever go there. tt walcott over carzola decision earlier cause a huge dent to my rank

  2. Nobodinho
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    My friend is 18 points behind in my ML, who should be his captain?

    A) Aguero
    B) Giroud
    C) Ozil
    D) Silva
    E) Kane

    1. TorresMagic™

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A, if he had Sanchez or Tekkers imay have answered differently

      1. Nobodinho
        • 11 Years

        Cheers.

  3. Get up ya bum

    zan i'd play krul

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks champ. I'm feeling that.

      But I felt Pva over schlupp last week. Luckily I listened to all the advice on here and played schlupp in the end 🙂

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Is Kolarov nailed on?

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I think Clichy is back this week, otherwise he'd be a great option for the rest of the season.

      Trollarov ...

      1. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        the presence of guys like kolarov/remy/dzeko are important for conservative FF managers like me 🙂

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      no but get him

    3. PhoggyRatherGroggy
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Picked him up for 3 good hauls in a row and now I'm thinking of putting the armband on him!!

      1. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        The kolorov captain choice. The ultimate Hail Mary. Love it 🙂

    4. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He has been on a run of good form so based on his usual patterns he is due a benching and a run of 1 pters

      Still great punt home to qpr

    5. Grumpy Camel
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      clichy on the bench last game so its anyones guess who starts this week

  4. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Who will get more points in final 3 GWs?

    A) Terry
    B) Ivanovic

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Should be B, but don't know

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      should be ivanovic..but its too short (3gw) to really show the difference between terry and ivan.

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        "Should be" is enough for me to sell Terry over Ivan. I dint need the cash and will most likely have some in the bank either way

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          then ivan should be better. especially if u consider that chelsea might rotate squad and will affect the defense..so CS chance should decrease imo (which affect terry BAP potential). while ivan's attacking threat is always there.

          1. Scoredelario
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            The only thing playing on my mind is Terry's excitement about playing every minute.

            1. money face bandwagon
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              haha until now i am still surprised terry played every minute of the season. good luck anyway..and hope ivan will outscore terry since i own him 😀

            2. CBC
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              Cue Terry scoring 2 weeks in a row, and Ivan being benched for one game.... 🙁

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Ivan more likely to benefit from a more attacking Chelsea than terry.

    4. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks all.

    5. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Ivanovic scored the bulk of his points in the first half of the year when he was given license to roam forward, and was effective. In the last two months they've shifted more defensively trying to grind out 1-0 wins. As to what happens now, who only knows ... he might even get rested periodically.

      Terry should play the rest of the season.

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah you've brought up the factor I was worried about.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          moureen said they will both play every game I think

          1. Grumpy Camel
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            he said they both want to play every game

    6. OneTwo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      One would think Ivan will be given more freedom to bomb forward.

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I hope so, as an owner. Would be nice, as he's curtailed that quite a bit in the last quarter of the season here.

  5. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Who do you prefer? Ozil or Cazorla

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Ozil

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Ozil

    3. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Caz

    5. OneTwo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Özil

  6. Test Eagles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Now if LVG could snare Sneijder, Fer, van Ginkel and van Aanholt he'd have his own little national team playing in the premier league.

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Wenger goes for french players. I wonder if an english manager will make an english team in the premiership

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Already happening mate.

        All over league 1 🙁

      2. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        would take a lot of money to make that team since some players are over priced

    2. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Aldeweireld would be the best Dutch player for their team

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        he is top shelf. would love him at pool. he's just on loan right?

      2. Tex
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Isn't he Belgian?

        1. CBC
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Yes

        2. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          yes 🙂

    3. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      interested to see how van ginkel goes. I heard lots of good things about him. wonder if he'll get a run next to matic and behind fab next season.
      I like fer. would be happy to have him at pool actually with gerrard gone and lucas getting on/always injured

      1. Test Eagles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I'd expect him to get loaned out again ...

    What's Welbecks current state?

    1. CBC
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Physical or Mental? 😉

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years

    So what changed Ramsey's injury status from 75% to 50%

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      not training yet

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        He is? N'mind, MNF is still far away

    2. New Ghost
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      hasn't trained yet.

      IMO...won't feature against swansea in prep for the game at OT

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I got him early because of prices. not phased though that's what benches are for 🙂

  10. New Ghost

      2. Get up ya bum

        if you are gonna be a kolarov denialist then please leave

          • 13 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          lol

          you think he starts this weekend? city's been playing great with him featuring.

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            yeah I think he will. spewing I haven't been able to find a ft for him these last few weeks. bloody dgw's

        2. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          😆

          You've been warned. But as a respect, I'll leave in less than 30 minutes 😉

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      :mrgreen:

  11. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    A. Bellerin & Sanchez

    B. Kos & Cazorla

    1. Nobodinho
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. New Ghost
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A, but only because of sanchez.

      I think hector and chambers will split the DGW.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        this.

        I think B is more nailed on to start and finish 90 minutes

      2. Test Eagles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        As long as Bell-end gets the CS please 🙂

    3. tokara
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A but either A or B would do fine.

      Cazo stats is quite good when u compare his and Rambo for last 2 weeks

  12. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Am I the only one seriously considering Santi over Ozil?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Not at all. Santi has his stremghts definately. His shooting is poor but one of them could go in, and he is still involved in assists. +pens

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        good to hear.

        Not that poor imho, at least not as bad as "100k-a-week" Raheem. DGW means moer opportunity for set pieces especially PK, I'm really tempted. As long as Arteta is still out though.

        1. Test Eagles
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I can't see Arteta playing for the rest of the season ... they'd be silly to test his fickle body when they can give him another 3 months of training and strengthening.

          Santi FTW

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            *DGW37 😉

    2. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Nope. Just within the past few days, I've started shifting towards Santi and away from Ozil. I have Ramsey and Sanchez already. It's basically down to Santi and Ozil for the third spot for the DGW. Still gonna mull it over, but if I had to decide today, I think I'd go Santi.

      1. Test Eagles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Wouldn't consider Giroud!

        1. The Enlightener
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Giroud is still in there in the back of my mind. But, I'm kinda diggin' the idea of keeping Remy, Kane and Aguero. Yeah, I still own Remy. But it could finally pay off! (God help me!)

          1. Test Eagles
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            If the Ozil emoticon still worked I would insert that here.

            Remy ... :8

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers for that!

        Same here, Sanchez and Rambo already in. Still torn between Santi, Ozil and Giroud, but currently Santi edges it.

        I might go all in and gamble with Santi and Defoe instead of Giroud and Albrighton. I'm serious.

    3. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I think Ozil more consistent, Santi more explosive.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Santi more explosive, first time reading it 🙂

        Ozil has lots of upside playing at home, but his composure and style of play means lack of scoring touch. FPL wise I think Santi has great chance for points. People tend to forget that.

    4. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      No. I've seen plenty of posts considering it

      Agree with all except Sto-Tot. No way 0-0, 2-2 more likely.

      Che-Liv: 1-1? as long as Skrtel on the score sheet 😉

    2. Joggers Nipple

      Would personally only change these 3 from your picks

      i like most of these, southampton havnt been doing much and i think leicester will to stay up will get them a win, and i think chelsea will beat liverpool, purely because liverpools attack looks awful lately

  14. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Is Bellerin a good option now? Seems pretty nailed?

    1. Grumpy Camel
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Will only play 1 of the DGW it seems. Kos or ospina if you want a defender

  15. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Best option here lads?

    Pants Schmeichel
    Ivan Berty Moreno PVA Wasilewski
    Alexis Hazard Sterling Cout Boyd
    Aguero Kane Vardy

    A) Sterling Cout Vardy > Ozil Gomez Giroud (-4)
    B) Sterling Cout > Ozil Santi
    C) Sterling Berty > Ozil Kos

    Cheers.

      I like C

      Kos is one of my favorite FPL assets

      1. Acquafresca
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Interesting. Since Welbz not even training I'm really favouring Giroud for the DGW.

        Think CS will be hard for us against United and even Sunderland fighting for their lives.

        Kos better than Giroud you think SJ?

        1. New Ghost
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I think Arsenal-ManU will be extremely tight; will probably be decided by one goal. we might even get a CS.

          arsenal-sunderland is a nailed-on CS imo, especially with our form.

          if Welbeck's out long term, definitely go Giroud.

          kos is fun to own though. 🙂

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            arsenal-sunderland is a nailed-on CS

            that's what they said before we played HUL

            1. New Ghost
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              true, but arsenal's pretty damn good defensively at home

              sunderland are ridiculously horrible

            2. Acquafresca
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              Sunderland fighting for their lives will be going all out attack too..

          2. Acquafresca
            • 14 Years

                      I actually found I did better when the babies were born. Nothing like being up at 230am warming bottles and working on defensive rotations.

      C

      Despite not trusting Arsenal D atm and thinking Santi is a better player to get than Kos, I think Cout is still worth holding till the end.

    I wonder if anyone has ever called Mourinho that people from Australia on football blogging sites call him Maureen. I'm sure they would have dropped a few more games if he knew.

  18. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years

    Head and heart say Giroud and Albrighton

    Gut say Santi and Defoe.

              Sj, I can see some other posters showing some interest in the NBA.. namely La Roja, Enlightener, TM and of course, Acqua. It'd be great if these people can join our league too. Please do your part, Mr. Commish

                acqua was supposed to join but stopped replying before the draft.

                I'll invite the others before next season begins.

      What's it say?

      1. Sebbo29
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I mean the one on homepage:
        "..he is getting slowly better. He could be back in training soon".

        Does not sound too good for this GW imho

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I guess we will find out today. The fact that game is on Monday, could well be ready by then.

  20. athreya
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Most of us will be having 3 Aesenal pamyers for the DGW37. But Arsenal team might see lot of changes in GW38. There are couple of players on way out - Rosicky, Flamini who deserve a farewell. Players coming back from injury - Wilshere, Wellbz, who need match time prior to the FA final. There is also theo whose future is uncertain. So I think there will be host of changes plus substitutions in GW38. It will be prudent to have a plan to deal with such a scenario. Essentially if you have 2 chelsea plus 3 Arsenal in GW38, better to ship out one or two of those to ensure a playing 11.

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Also I would think that it makes little difference to wenger between finishing 2nd or 3rd.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I know 4th place have to play Champ League qualifiers for sure, not so sure about 3rd? If so that would make difference

        1. athreya
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah 3rd also qualifies automatically.

          1. CBC
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Only difference between 2nd and 3rd, is the pot that you are placed in for the draw.

            1. athreya
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              Yep but anyways Arsenal are screwed in CL from next season with the change In seedings.

                Champions of the top 8 go into Pot 1, the other teams go into pots based on their coefficient, not league ranking right?

          Morning, hot as nuts down here on the islands. I think Wenger will play Sanchez until he snaps, think Sanchez is also the type of player who wants to be on the pitch all the time. Will hold him. I will prob have Ramsey by then and a rest for him before the FA cup final could happen

      I'm more concerned with just getting 3 Arsenal for GW37. If I go into the last week with a good lead in MLs, might take a hit or two and have some fun.

    time to ditch Hazard guys? dont think he'll play 2 out of 3 games left

    1. New Ghost
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I'm really tempted to ditch both hazard and terry and just be done with it.

      but hazard might come back refreshed from the holiday and hit a brace against liverpool lol

      1. Penang Sandman
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        i think Mourinho will put a mixed of second/first team against pool just you know, to rub them faces

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      With Sterling and Fab in my team i need to shift them first. Will stick with Haz, even if gets 2 out of the next 3 ( i think he will) would be ok by me

      1. Penang Sandman
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        i have to ditch sterling myself too, but the options are to Gru or not to Gru for me (DGW37).

        Giroud may be rotated for the cup final

        1. athreya
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          More likely Giroud will play both games and sit out GW38. Wellbz still not fit.

    Quick poll! For this week...

    A) Davis + Schlupp/Morgan

    B) Schmeichel + Aldeweireld

    C) Schmeichel + Schlupp/Morgan

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A with Morgan for me.

      B is the inverse and think Morgan more likely for a goal than Alderw

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers - makes sense. Feel like it's chasing points with Morgan but he's definitely leading the team by example

      2. Nobodinho
        • 11 Years

  24. KLOPPTOMANIA

    1st sub important with ramsey in the balance

    Alderweireld (lei)

    Or

    PvA (eve)?

    1. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Alder for me

    2. Nobodinho
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

    If Rolando Aarons is the answer, what is the question?

    1. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Name 2 PL footballers with surnames starting with "Aa-"

      1. Heels_Over_Head

    I transferred in Jordi Gomez. I feel sick!

    1. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I'll be getting him too. That makes two of us!

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      yeah. good luck with that. I'm more tempted by Rolando Aarons. I need to see a doctor about that.

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Newcastle... Stay away!

          but...
          but...
          surely with those fixtures and their schizophrenic makeup, they will turn it around once more...
          surely you can see that logic?

          their season to-date
          terrible run of form
          great run of form
          terrible run of form
          can't you see what comes next?

            Relegation? 😉

            Stadium name change?

            1. Heels_Over_Head
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              sunderland's stadium already has the appropriate nickname for their relegation

              ; - )

              rhymes with Stadium of Light
              it's the Statidum of...

    For the rest of the season:

    A) Silva and Cambiasso
    B) Hazard and Albrighton

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      a

    Above exchange with Shifty reminds me of

    a) Even Cowgirls Get The Blues

    b) Ye olde joke, what's the difference between Santa Claus & Tiger Woods?

    1. Heels_Over_Head

      ....

      ....

      the difference between Santa Claus & Tiger Woods?

    Who else is planning to bench Albrighton for Henderson for the 3rd week in a row?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I'm playing Cambiasso and Henderson

      and benching Sterling.

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        you're keeping Sterling?!

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I think "keeping" is an overstatement.

          I'm saving my transfer this week to be more adaptable for the double game week next week.

          He's benched now and gone next week.
