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.

    The only way I see Klopp going to Liverpool is if Bayern have definitively told him that Pep won't be leaving in the summer or they said they don't want him regardless. I can't see anyone choosing Liverpool in their current state over Bayern.

                  I must say I agree. FIFA is more realistic and polished and everything, but PES is simply more fun. And isn't that kinda the point of video games?

                Fifa 16 gameplay is better than Pes this year. The arcade feel is gone, Fifa 16 does everything that is important better, I know UT is glitchy and isn't perfect but it's pretty fun to trade and play games to try and afford better players!

                  Players don't come to the ball, they're lethargic turning, they're lethargic defending dribblers.

                  If you're playing better, your players are made weaker and slower than your opponent's in a bid to keep bad players interested in the game and keep them as repeat customers.

                  Players on mediocre or bad clubs are physically weaker and slower than players at good clubs.

                  It's a bad game and I only buy it because I have more friends who buy FIFA because they don't know about PES and I'd still like to play with them.

                  The only thing about FIFA that is better is they have more money to invest in graphics and licenses. That's it.

      And how about this season's eternally disappointing Sergio Aguero?

      and perhaps the goals conceded by Spurs in the fewest matches before each haul?

        The assists column for the second one is ok though. He may actually grind a few good pts out.

      I dont think the history means much. Spurs have got a disciplined DM now (Dier), an able CB partner for Vert (Toby), and Kun is woefully out of form.

      I would never sell Kun, but don't see the sense in captaining him this week.

          Npoe, that's reserved for an Aguero DGW, so he can get me 12 points rather than 6.

      Certainly did, but thinks change. Wilson and Martial have taken over in those price ranges. Even Gomis owners are looking at Martial at this stage (which, fwiw, I think is a little knee jerky)

          Good point. I don't think Diouf is a transfer-out-now player at all. Still have hope.

      I had Diouf, swapped him for Benteke. So peeved that Diouf got injured, I honestly think he would have raked in the points over these fixtures if he'd have been fit.

    I have Gomez and Targett, with only two playing defenders. Looks like a -4 this week unless people think one of these two will start?

      Get rid of one and settle for three playing defenders, going with a 3-5-2 / 3-4-3. Don't take a hit for two defenders

          I'd play it, AOA chip is garbage anyway and if it means you can avoid a hit to get a playing XI out, I'd do it.
