The ScoutCast – Episode 191 – Penultimate

Morning all! I guess the LIV game last night just is messing with our heads to keep. I have both Cout and Firm and thinking of shipping Cout to Hazard and playing Firmino... Not sure what to do, means keeping Kane tho.

Feel very stuck on what to do. Any advice:

DDG / Robles

Monreal / Rose / Delaney / Simps / TMF

Sanchez / KDB / Firm / Townsend / Iwobi

Kun / Kane / Sturridge

Not made a transfer yet.

Who to lose to get Payet?

10 pts ahead of rival.

Me (on AOA):

DDG*
Reid* PvA*
Hazard* Firmino* payet* Mahrez Sanchez
Carroll* Defoe* Kun
*DGW (Kos, Bellerin, Simpson)

Him:
Coleman(Amber) Huth(Red) funes mouri(red) Kos Fonte
Siggy(Red) Alli(Red) Firmino* Manė Mahrez
Kun iheanacho Kane

Should feel pretty confident?!

Time to decide on the last hit forcthe season.

Ignoring other players.
Do I?
A) Sell Mahrez for Fabregas, means I'll play Milner and Fab, benching Alexis.
Reason wouod be, it's a done deal for Lei and Inthink fringe players will get gametime.

B) Sell Milner for Fabregas, means I'll play Alexis and Fab, benching Mahrez.
Reason would be fright of lack of gametime fof Milner as the EL final is THE game for Pool now.

Leaning heavilly towards A.

Who to triple captain this week?

A) Hazard
B) Payet
C) Deeney
D) Defoe
E) Sturridge

Did anyone else get this email below?

Dear *****

I wanted to contact everyone playing our games with an important update.

The end of this season marks 25 years of Fantasy League, and also 25 years for me running the business. It's been quite a journey from a paper-based game started on a shoestring to a concept that has become part of the fabric of football and other sports for millions of fans.

After much soul searching, I've decided its time for me to move on to new challenges and for Fantasy League to find a new owner. As you can imagine, it's not been an easy decision, considering our fantastically loyal audience, the strength of our games and brand, as well as the 25 years of hard work the team and I have put into making Fantasy League. But in the right hands, I'm confident it can go from strength to strength.

The potential acquirer could come from a number of angles; a business with an existing audience that wants to get into a new area, a bookmaker or gaming business. It may be an individual or investors who are looking to develop an established business in an exciting sector.

I very much hope we can find the right partner so that you and the rest of our valued audience can continue to enjoy it for many many more years to come.

Watch this space.

Warm wishes,

Andrew Wainstein
Fantasy League Founder and Managing Director

Why are people shipping out Countinho?

And is Sturridge a good shout, will he play both games?

Sanchez -> Hazard worth a -4?

Will be swapping them back next week if I do it

Final dilemma, Mignolet or Darlow to play?

RMT (on Wildcard)

DDG
Cresswell PVA Baines (Bellerin Fonte)
Hazard Firmino Mahrez Payet (C) (Sanchez)
Carroll Defoe Sturridge
0,3ITB

Firmino -> Mane for gw38.

Any toughts on this team?
Yes, liverpool players gametime is a problem, but pretty sure they get 90min minimum each, and dont see any better options?

City vs Arsenal so tough to predict this weekend. I can see both capitulating or running riot.

Anyone that still has KDB - are you keeping? He should play now that they're out of Europe, right?

Cou out for a hit, yes/no? And if yes, for who?

Can we count on Robles starting both games in the DGW?

For gw37 only :

A) Sanchez (one game + 4 points)
B) Defoe (two games)

Cou out for a hit, yes/no? And if yes, for who?

Best 5.4m Mid to pick?

Cant be from West ham.

Brady/Redmond/Lennon?

Townsend vs Lanzini for GW37 ?

Sturridge captain is tempting. Currently on Kane.

Hows this looking lads? G2G?
Darlow
Cresswell*, PVA*, Rojo
Sanchez, Mahrez, Coutinho, Payet (C)
Aguero, Carrol*, Defoe.

Subs: Hart, Simpson, Bellerin, Stanislas.

Done a -8 for the * players

Pick one;

A) Cresswell + Townsend -4
B) Baines + Lanzini

29 point lead on mini league rival and his only real differences to my team are that he has Martial, Hazard and Barkley, whilst I have Carrol, Sanchez and Mahrez. Should i be worried?

Any of these worth shipping out for a hit?

Mignolet, Coutiniho, Kane?

Doubt the first two will play both games in their DGW and will have restricted minutes until the end of the season probably.

Hi,
I'm currently second in ML and 31 points adrift from top spot!
I've still got AOA chip and TC chip to play.
My team is currently...

Robles Darlow
Bellerin Sakho Smalling Kirchoff Simpson
KDB Sanchez Payet Coutinho Milner
Defoe Carroll Aguero

1.0 mill ITB

Any suggestions on how to improve team to hopefully get to number one in my ML?

Thinking of....

hazard is the top of my list to get in, ideally for Coutinho as he had game time yesterday and are still in Europe and city aren't so KDB may look to be playing more in premiership. Can see him gettin a game.

And I'll triple captain Carroll as a punt

Top spot rival in ML has:

Schmeichel Robles
Simpson Gabriel Rojo Kirchoff lovren
Coutinho Sanchez Payet king alli
Kane martial Aguero

Any ideas?

Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

best of these 3?

a) Ozil > Payet

b) Alli/Kane > Payet/Carroll -4

c) Alli/Kane/Rashford > Payet/Carroll/Defoe -8

First 3 I will go with.

How many minutes for the players below over DGW?

A) Mignolet
B) Robles
C) Rashford

final decision my friends and last time i'll ask, I promise.

A: Play Bellerin (mci)
B: Play Delaney (STO)
C: Delaney --> PvA (-4 as part of a -8)

current backline:

Clyne, Cresswell (Gabriel, Delaney, Bellerin)

Any Liverpool player we feel more than 50% sure will feature in BOTH games of the DGW?

Which of these to do?
At 50k and targetting 20k finish so ready to punt

1) KDB--> Hazard
2) KDB + Kane--> Caroll + Hazard (-4)...Play Simpson vs EVE
3) KDB + Kane + Simpson--» Caroll + Hazard + Smalling (-8)
4) KDB + Kane + Simpson--» Martial + Hazard + Creswell
CANT have both cresswell and Caroll as already 2 Whm players

Afternoon guys.
How does this look for a -8?

TFM > Cresswell
Coutinho > Hazard
Kane > Carroll

I'm chasing in my ML, but only 6 points behind the joint leaders.
Cheers.
