The ScoutCast – Episode 169 – Inferno

The time comes when every Fantasy Football manager has to react quickly to douse some fires in their squad. The problem is, my team is currently a blazing inferno, without a disco in sight.

At least that’s Granville’s opinion. Buoyed from seeing his canny capture of Anthony Martial deliver a brace at St Mary’s, my cocky co-host is quick to dish out a whipping to my ailing lineup.

We discuss the merits of United’s new teenage sensation as part of another round of community questions, served up once again by Jonty. The three of us also ponder the Chelsea revival, David Silva’s fragile ankles and just how our Fantasy Football managerial styles translate to the dog world: a crunch question that’s been brewing unanswered for many episodes.

This ScoutCast was broadcast live on our YouTube channel via Google Hangouts. You can view the full version with visuals via the larger player below.

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

    Will be using WC after GW8. Do either of these moves for a hit?
    A) Silva to de Bruyne? (-4)
    B) J.Gomez to Moreno? (-4)

    Replies appreciated!

      Trying to weigh up if A is worth it as would give me .1 to allow me to bring in Evans for Gomis next week. Won't be able to afford it with the imminent KDB price rise

                Studge has left foot syndrome on the game and its really frustrating. I haven't checked Markovic on the game but I assume he has some decent potential. Probably around 85 onwards.

    my team. 1 FT and 0.8m itb.

    Butland - McCarthy
    Kolarov - Darmian - Williams - Gomez - Richards
    Sanchez - Silva* - Payet - Mahrez - Sinclair
    Aguero - Martial - Wilson

    If Silva is out this weekend, should I just hold tight and start both Williams and Richards next to Kola and Darm?

    If he happens to be out long-term (which is probably not the case) it should be an easy swap to KDB..

          I would have got Rondon had West Brom not been such a defensive team

            Yeh but if you seen his stats and avg position, then he far from defensive minded, Ighalo doesn't exactly play in an attacking team, Rondon beats everyone below his price bar Vardy.

      As a Martial buyer, I am kinda regretting not plumping for Pelle instead. I think he's the best choice.

      Sunderland are so bad. Get Martial in! You can always ship him out again. (Is what I've being telling myself having just made the transfer)

      I'm keeping but not captaining. Once he and Aguero start firing, the temptation will be to captain one of them every week. Let's have some fun with the armband in the meantime!

      I can't see me ever selling him. Barkley's good fixtures start a bit before this run so he'll be a prime candidate for anyone replacing him though.

      There's always a time to hop on and off players.

      Although purchase price and pens/player position should be kept in mind for Mahrez he could keep ticking over relatively good for a £5.6m purchased 4th mid.

        Indeed, but I'm not averse top jumping of the train and jumping back on later. Jumping off Siggy in week 12 last year paid off hugely doing the fixture switch with Downing.

      Interesting - I think picking the right point to sell Mahrez will be an extremely important part of our FPL seasons. Gotta get the timing right.
