The ScoutCast – Episode 186 – Contrary

Rarely has the ScoutCast witnessed the collision of such contrary forces. With the radical “Andy G” dropping in alongside the self-proclaimed “dullard” Fantasy Manager, Jonty, we were always going to be in for an entertaining ride.

Foxes fan Andy arrives to express his emotions with both Leicester and his Fantasy Premier League lineup riding high. We look back on his implausible captaincy of Riyad Mahrez back in Gameweek 1, whilst picking out the highlights of Andy’s rip-roaring “maverick” season.

Another round of questions from you, the community, has us attempting to unpick the looming double Gameweek scenarios, whilst “Andy M” takes time to dispel the template myth. The four of us then turn our attentions to Gameweek 30, with beatnik boss Andy G revealing his rebellious streak with some crazy transfer talk.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first shown live via our YouTube channel on Wednesday. Be sure to subscribe for details of future episodes.

You can view the full “Hangout” movie via the larger player below, or suck up the edited audio mix via this link or the smaller player.

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

    One minor point occurs to me about using your WC in GW33. Lots of managers, including those who are not using their wild cards, are going to be loading up on DGW players. That means their prices will rise, so there might be a slight TV advantage for those managers who have made their transfers in GW33 - which might make the difference between, say for example, Silva and KDB later on.

    Thoughts?

      Well, if you activate your WC before doing a transfer, it doesn't count towards the threshold of price changes.

      hey SS 🙂

      How's your team shaping up?

      Tough one - if it's just for the one week, could definitely be goals between Swansea and Bournemouth so I'd probably plump for Ritchie.

      If it's for a 5th mid you'd seriously play in a few games going forward, Frisking said that Norwich do have a decent run - they are playing for their lives so if you're looking to make a mid-term choice Redmond would be cool, too.

      tl;dr - Ritchie if it's just for this week, Redmond if it's for mid-term!

    Hey all! Sorry if this is really obvious, but how is this for a plan on using my remaining chips DGW-wise:
    - Find out a dgw at least a few weeks in advance (when they announce after this weekend)
    - Wildcard 2 weeks before the dgw, with a team totally stocked up on players who should all play twice in the dgw. Obviously try and make these decent players too (payet etc)
    - Bench boost on the actual dgw, hopefully giving you 15 players playing twice!
    - Triple captain somewhere later in the season (e.g. last day or something fun like that)

    Is that most people's general plan now that chips are involved this year?
    Obviously the team would potentially need a rebuild after, but depends on the teams with a dgw I suppose (e.g. If city have a DGW then you are left with Aguero afterwards anyway so happy days)

        Just saw that, my options are limited by my funds available!.

        Could be wortth ditching Bellerin for a cheaper double option in order to upgrade gosling

        Thanks for the advice!

      J King is a doubt now, I was all set to bring him in as well. Just got enough ITB for Ritchie so going him for security of starts.

        Im a bit short on Ritchie otherwise I'd be getting him in too.

        Seems like a good option for the next few.

      Yeah I think King scored last week, right? So not bad. I'd be guessing you'd be benching him next weekend, so a decent shout for the fixtures this gameweek

    Any mileage in a 1 week punt on Shaqiri to fill out my midfield? I've seen a couple are looking at / have brought him in.

    Was thinking of Alli or Yaya, but neither really excite me I guess, unlike Shaqiri who's hips don't lie.

    Any thoughts?

          Pro's Last stoke game I watched was STO vs NEW match, Stoke basically played terrible yet both Arnie (v close to goal) and Shaqiri (goal) can make something from nothing.

          Con's Southampton though are much more sound defensively even when they had just 10 men.

          I agree Yaya too inconsistent
          Alli + Eriksen unnecessary (especially (C)Kane too)
          Other mids I like are all blanking so if you need another mid for this week I would go with Stoke so Shaqiri could be a well reasoned choice
