Having spent the season clutching to the coattails of both Granville and Jonty, finally, like a magnificent phoenix rising from the flames, I’ve caught and surpassed them both.

In truth, my season is anything but “magnificent” and the recent struggles of my ScoutCast co-hosts, as they plunge to my depths, is the main reason behind the recent mini-league manoeuvrings.

With a level playing field established, the three of us skim through another set of “Rough with the Smooth” Gameweek tales from the community, before bracing ourselves for another batch of topics steered by your good selves.

You have us talking Sanchez exit plans, discussing the “desperate” route back to Hazard and contemplating Christmas rearguards. Plus we’ve a couple of old ScoutCast favourites who, like my season, rise up from the ashes to discover a new lease of life.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first aired via our YouTube channel on Tuesday evening. You can view the full Google Hangout version via the larger player below, or treat yourself to the more cultured audio cut via this link or the smaller player below.

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

    Whether Hazard blanks or scores highly, I think he will be the main topic of conversation throughout the next week

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      2nd person that's asked this lol - and as I said to 1st I made mistake in GW10 but I didn't have too many good alternatives. Surely you got better options?

  6. DV8R

    Sanchez to survive the price drop tonight?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Unlikely.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Torresmagic seems very keen for people to sell tonight

        1. Zizoulicious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 26 days ago

          He's playing dirty. 😉

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 26 days ago

            Yes. There is a flow chart to prove it too.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years

        3. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 26 days ago

          Today or tomorrow. Hardly matters.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 26 days ago

            0.1 difference though.

            1. Woy of the Wovers
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 26 days ago

              Only if he falls today and you sell tomorrow.

  7. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    I wonder if Sanchez dropping tonight has been mentioned?

  8. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    how can sanchez be dropped if he's injured?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Fpl illuminati

  9. Hyperion
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Sanchez to Coutinho or Deulofeu? I'm panicking!

    1. BearHug
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Coutinho coutinho! Take the gamble. Pull the trigger.

      1. Hyperion
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        I've done it! Couldn't resist the Newcastle fixture.

        1. BearHug
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 26 days ago

    2. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Hazard.

      1. Hyperion
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Too expensive

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

    1. Spike ⚽️
      • 14 Years

    2. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Ozil

    • 12 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    1. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Ramsey has potential this weekend but just not sure going forward a long term opt

  14. SMOOTH
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    should survive the drop

  15. Diva
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Which will be the prevailing view on here next week?

    A) Why *didn't* I buy Hazard?!
    B) Hazard scored 5/6 points, that's OK
    C) Why *did* I buy Hazard?!

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      D) How the hell did Memphis Depay end up in my squad.

      1. Diva
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Because you didn't read my rebuttal of Balders' propaganda? 🙂

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 26 days ago

          Link?

          1. Diva
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 26 days ago

            It was back in August I think. I doubt I'd find it now.

            1. tm245
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 26 days ago

              No worries, thought you meant tonight.

              1. Diva
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 26 days ago

                If you have Depay this week then you don't need to wait until next week to say D! 😀

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 26 days ago

          I still tell myself my propaganda staved off a price fall 😛

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      B or C more likely

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      B

  16. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    HOLD!

  17. tm245
    • 14 Years

    Feels like a match day waiting for lineups...

  18. Davido989
    • 15 Years

    SELL

  19. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Liverpool have only one 1 from their last 5 away encounters at Newcastle. Hopefully Newcastle can keep them out 🙂

    1. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Hopefully not 😆

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        That one victory was 6-0.

        I think that means that a smashing isn't due 😉

    2. BearHug
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Way Klopp's team been playing, vs how Newcastle is defending, chance is slim.

  20. Lallana_
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    SANCHEZ>SILVA DONE

    lol jk...did that 5 hours ago 🙂

    1. TorresMagic™

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      At least you have time to make another transfer.

      1. Lallana_
        • 11 Years

        Begovic>De Gea is coming soon if Courtois is back!

  21. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years

    I Can't ever remember a week so difficult to choose a captain

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Lukaku

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        See. It's easy. 🙂

    2. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      I haven't even figured out my Sanchez replacement, let alone my captain.

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        hazar?

    3. Super Tim Cahill
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      it's great isn't it. As much as Suarez was awesome, it was a 10 man game each week with him playing..

    4. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Me neither... help.

      Firmino, Mahrez, Willian, Ozil, Lukaku, Kane, Deeney.

      I'm going with Firmino right now *gulp*

  22. Hy liverpool

    2. Diva

  23. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Who to play this week out of:

    A) Deulofeu (PALACE)
    B) Mahrez (swansea)

    Currently leaning towards A, factors for:

    1) Deulofeu's form in all comps has been under-represented in the league, feel he could be "due" a big score
    2) Vardy will likely be on pens if he's not already scored

    Factors against:

    1) Palace are better than swansea defensively atm (especially away)
    2) Deulofeu played 81 mins on tuesday, meaning more fatigued and minutes under threat

    Any thoughts appreciated

    1. MMN
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Mahrez

    3. F_Ivanovic

      You have Vardy or Lukaku?

  24. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    If Wenger says that Walcott if fit I'm probably going to captain him.

    Alright dude. Couldn't sleep so thought I would drop in. Any exciting news from pressers today?
