The ScoutCast – Episode 204 – Flagging

Frustrated by the international hiatus and with Granville tied up in political red tape, Jonty and Andy tag along as we go hunting for our Fantasy Football mojo.

Andy dons his Zlatan mask in celebration of a belated brace, as we talk flags – for far too long – tackling the lively break “Hazard controversy” head on.

Premium strikers, price drop bargains, Christmas shopping and the baby imminent table all earn oxygen, as we desperately attempt to brush away the ring-rust and look ahead to Gameweek 12.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first beamed live on Wednesday via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

    Morning guys.

    a) Deeney ---> 7.1 or below striker. Rondon?

    So happy seeing the love for Lukaku here.
    I have him since GW3 on WC and was wondering if I should be shipping him for Kane now that the fixtures are turning.

    But to my great astonishment, people are actually still drafting him IN.
    Wouldn't mind a price hike! 🙂

      Shush. Touchy subject. I had him and benteke on my wildcard for two weeks. With the wisdom of a beer or six in the final hour I swapped them to Kane and gray. Kane did f all then got injured. Gray did f all then got banned. Fukaku never stopped scoring

      Most owners got so lucky with Lukaku, when Aguero had his suspension, Lukaku was the easy transfer. I am one of them and I intended to swap him back out for Aguero but binned Ibra instead.

    Morning guys. With flags on Costa and Hazard, is it worth upgrading my bench fodder to someone who actually plays?

    With 0.9 in the bank and 1 FT, my team is as follows:

    Grant (Jaku)
    Kosc Walker Alonso (Amat Wilson)
    Hazard Gundogan Allen Coutinho (Hojbjerg)
    Costa Lukaku(C) Aguero(V)

    Can't decide how to spend my transfers. Already did Payet -> Hazard right after the Chelsea game. I have 1FT left, but i'm not worried about a -4 hit.

    Cech
    Stones - Rose - Holebas(!) (Amat, Love)
    Sanchez - Hazard - Firmino - Allen - Gundogan
    Austin - Aguero - Deeney

    A: Amat -> Brunt/Cedric/Lei/Everton defender + Deeney -> Defoe.
    B: Deeney -> Lukaku, Sanchez -> Ozil/Walcott/Manè/?
    C: ?

    As it stands i only have 2 defenders to play, Rose and Stones. I'm eager to get both Coutinho and Lukaku but it will be near impossible to have them both and keep Hazard and Sanchez. I don't have a clue, pretty much..

    Hi guys, still trying to get my head around fielding a good xi without making more than 1 more change.
    Team;

    Pickford Jaku
    Walker Fuchs Pieters Amat 3.9
    Firmino Lallana Allen Hazard Fletcher
    Kun Kaku Costa
    2.5 itb

    Assuming Costa and Haz are alright, is it best to:
    A) Conservative option: get Brunt/WBA def in for Amat, play 4-3-3 if Lallana is ruled out
    B) Sadio option: replace Lallana with anyone up to 9.0... Maybe Mane now Coutinho is doubtful
    C) Leave it, no need for a -4

    Thanks!!

    Thanks!

        Thanks mate, yeah I'm gravitating towards that I think, if Lallana is alright next week - seems like it's a 1 week lay off from what Klopp is saying - then it's all good.

        Just wondering whether I should bring the cover in now I guess. Probably right though I should just do the sensible move 🙂

          Should be fine considering everything.

          Youre going to need some cover over the festive period but I wouldnt do it for a hit, as long as youve got 3 playable defenders. Id also look for a new GK in the future. Dont know how much longer you can get away with two 4.0s.

            Yeah exactly that's part of the reason why i am considering getting Brunty or something in now as a long term move.

            And yeah I know about the gks... Not much i can do atm, but in future I expect Boruc or someone will come jn for Jaku

      Player v old club is always mouth watering - Lallana and Mane both tempting. However, Your front 3 is so strong, it's diluting the Lallana risk and steers me towards C) hang on to Lallana, Avoid hit.

    DEFENSIVE HORROR!! I've scrapped myself to 831st in Scout League / 87th in Members League but made a bad bed and am in Defensive pickle. Used ft on Alonso; playing Daniels - have suspended Holebas, Smith and er.. Not suspended Collins WH ... Yes, I know it's sketchier than Banksy at a Bus Stop - Just don't ask! meagre budget max 4.6 - would love McAuley but am 0.1 off, dammit. Have a non playing Striker so cannot use AOA either. Sigh.
    Options:
    A) Avoid hit, suck it up like a man who's made mistakes- play Alonso(Che), Daniels (Bou) & er Collins(WH) DON'T ASK!
    B) Buy Evans (WBA) -4 squint and pretend he could be McAulay
    C) Buy oop Zuniga (Wat) -4 based on a faint gut feeling and blind hope
    D) bend over and take -8, create cash elsewhere, buy a proper regular Defender to play for next few weeks
