“All this taking hits, it gets a bit moreish.”

One of my favourite all-time quotes from the ScoutCast arrives in this week’s episode, as Jonty does his best to explain another abject Gamework return.

Struggling with misfortune and misfiring moves, our former resident “dullard” is now resigned to chasing memories from his season – those maverick move successes he can store and take with him for future campaigns.

There’s nothing maverick about my season right now, as I furiously back-peddle on my exit plans and watch Andy and Jonty jump and fall into the no-Aguero abyss without me. Granville tries to talk me over the edge, but I’m not budging.

Elsewhere in this week’s episode, we tackle the Philippe Coutinho injury fall-out head-on, chase our tails on “essential” assets and attempt to settle the Walcott vs Sanchez and Hazard vs Pedro arguments.

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

        What is your bench?

        Can't really see where your money is placed to be honest.

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Pickford, Capoue, VVD, Kingsley. £3.6 itb

          1. Licious Lizard

              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Or take another hit and do Kun > Kane! Muuuahhhahahaha

              1. Licious Lizard
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                No wouldn't do it for a hit. Maybe not even for free.
                I like going without a pool mid as a differential, as I believe they can't keep up their value with everything going on. I know it is not popular 😉

          2. Hy liverpool
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Now it looks better and kane is affordable ... any fts left ?

            1. ILOVEBAPS
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Nope. what you see is a -4 already.

            2. Hy liverpool
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Ouch my bad ... next week may be
              NOthing worth another hit although I like kane v.much this week

              1. ILOVEBAPS
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                So do I. 🙁

  5. The FPL Gods Must Be Crazy
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I told myself no hits this season and yet the last month has forced my hand a little. At the moment i have Lukaku and Ozil wasting my money. I already did Coutinho>Pedro this week and am wondering whether it's worth -8 to also do Lukaku & Ozil >Kane & Walcott. Is this madness? Kane is a great captaincy choice this week so could repay that investment straight away. Rest of my attack is Siggy, Hazard, Pedro, Capoue, Aguero, Benteke. We shall not mention my defence as it is dire. So to take the hit, or not to take the hit. That is the question...

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Do it.

    2. Fergietime
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ive been wise all season regarding no hits and its got me to a near 1 million rank, done a -12 this week and feels good.

      1. The FPL Gods Must Be Crazy
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I think that's all the encouragement i need. Come Kane

        1. The FPL Gods Must Be Crazy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Come *on Kane even

          1. Hooky
            • 10 Years

            Fnar

  6. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My ideal scenario.
    Aguero blanks
    Kane hatricks.

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      My ideal scenario.
      Everyone on my team scores hat-tricks and saves 10 penalties.
      Every other player in the league misses 10 penalties and gets sent off.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That's a great scenario .

  7. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Take a -8 to get Sigurdsson in now (otherwise I can't afford him)
    B) Sell Firmino for Lallana and then upgrade Allen to Sigurdsson with the leftover money

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. Not this week.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        If I don't do it tonight, it is not happening ever without selling big hitters to find the cash.

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Don't like your proposal. Take each week as it comes. Who knows, a big hitter may get crocked this week and you have to sell. Problem solved.

          1. The Big Fella
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            But he may not and then I miss out completely.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't sell Firmino.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So you're advising me to take the -8 hit then? If I don't do it tonight, it means selling a "big hitter" to fund the transfer and the run is good.

        1. Jakarta
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Take the hit. Hits are fun.

  8. Fergietime
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Milner rising tonight, Ive had him since W7, no points bar last weekend. I dont really think he is worthy of my 5th midfielder spot. Sure its great hes on Penos but hes not going to get a penalty every GW.

    Stones surviving AGAIN? Wonder what kind of information he has on the FPL towers

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I was a bit miffed today when my brother popped round to see me and said he's sold him...I was enjoying him picking him every week...like playing against ten men.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sold him on Sunday evening myself. Can't say I enjoyed those 13 weeks. Now watch him get a double digit score vs Chelsea

  10. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Try again on the current post and being as FPLVIRGIN gave it a try...

    @Mark if you're still lurking. As you are now somewhat a part of the furniture at FPL towers....We've had many conversations over the years on here as to why FPL choose not to have a "beat the price rise" section on their website.

    They must be well aware how many "serious" players use places like FFFix and how much it adds to the game for them. They must be equally aware of the potential for increased traffic on their own website from making it all public.

    I can't for the life of me understand why they still choose to keep it secret. Do you know why?...is there an official line?

    1. FPL Panda
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd love to know the answer to this too if @Mark or any of the moderators are about ?

      Cheers

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think they acknowledge that there are potential consequences if they made all that info public. Everyone including the casuals will start chasing the risers and basically everyone would end up with the same teams.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        On the flip side, and as a game developer...it increases the interest in the game massively....and the footfall.

    3. Elvy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      In a similar vein I wonder why the rule - if it is a rule - that a player cannot rise or fall more than £0.3m in a week is not made explicit. It adds to the point Wakey makes: yer average casual who has not followed the price change sites drops in to FPL, finds a player has moved £0.3m, assumes it can only get worse and makes a transfer - takes a hit even - to avoid further loss.

    4. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      FFFix?

  11. GHB
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone with decent squads thinking of taking a gamble and benching Hazard this week?

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Against a city defence?

      1. GHB
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I know, just thinking of taking a gamble with it as his away form is inconsistent.

        I know for his price should be playing him every week, just fancy a gamble with it.

        It's him Siggy or chadli for me

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd like to have a squad with 10 players more likely to score points than Hazard. 😕

      1. GHB
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What dreams are made of

    3. Schwarzer
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No chance.

  12. MiguelAngel
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bit of help for a brother please...

    Pickford
    McAuley Alonso Clyne Pieters
    Firmino Wally Hazard
    Kun Kane(c) Austin

    Heaton Shaq Capoue Amat

    A) GTG
    B) Play Shaq

    1. ILOVEBAPS

      B. Bench Alonso

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        +1

      2. Schwarzer
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed

  13. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Truth is, the more you play this game for safety and the less hits you take, the more likely you are to do okay but the less fun you will have.

    Either way you will never finish as number one so relax and stop stressing 😀

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed. Tbh if I had only one transfer a week I think i'd probably end up packing it in.

    2. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fun is overrated!

    3. Liastro ⭐️
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I haven't taken a hit for 3 seasons and think how many RMTs I post!

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I haven't NOT taken a hit for three seasons...and i'm serious...

        Well apart from when I can't due to doing other stuff...in which case I take an extra hit later on...

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Why post then? Are you ignoring anyone suggesting a hit?

      3. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm going to take a hit now because I read this comment
        Welcome wally(--) to my team

    4. Jay_
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Amen to that. The majority of times I haven't taken a hit this year, and every other season, I get a big red. Taken 2x -12's and got greens. On a -16 this week and love the buzz of it 🙂

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ooooh. -16.....tell us more...

          1. Jay_
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Stones, Morgan, Snodgrass, Coutinho, Lukaku out
              Alonso, Cedric, deRoon, Siggy, Kane (c) in

              Was fed up of 0's and 1's in my defence. Cout and Lukaku were dropping 0.6 between them plus Kane will be captain 3 times in the next 4.

              Took over 200 points worth of hits the last 2 seasons and finished top 20k. Took a -24 last season and got a big green 🙂

              1. Dr Dream
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                I'd have gone for Rose over Alonso for now...other than that...I hope you get your green. I'll certainly bet money your new team will beat your old team.

                1. Jay_
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    Got Rose pencilled in for gw16 after they play UTD away. Will get that one for free as part of 2ft. That's the beauty of taking a big hit, wether you make 1 transfer or 4, you start with a clean slate the next week and get to roll over a 2nd FT in 2 weeks time. Had to go Alonso this week as he was rising, wouldn't have had the cash in 2 weeks, luckily Rose is price locked (suspension)

                    1. Dr Dream
                      • 13 Years
                      9 years, 1 month ago

                      I'm on the wrong horse with Walker...

                      1. Jay_
                          9 years, 1 month ago

                          Yep, it was actually one of your tables that alerted me to Rose last week

                  • The Bandit
                    • 15 Years
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    Nice 🙂

            • ILOVEBAPS
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Took my first hit last GW which worked out. Took another this week due to Coutinho and Giroud.

              Hits can be the best thing for your team and get you in title contention.

            • Hy liverpool

              TM and Villa Ronka are playing like that ... but hey hoo heyhayho they are doing very well every season .
              It's not easy tbh

            • Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Should we start that "hit a weel league" that I keep banging on about?...we could start it mid season couldn't we?

              Maybe some of the disillusioned folk might get reinvigorated....including Doosra...

              1. Hy liverpool
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Jay will win it easily

                1. Dr Dream
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Aye...he's good...so is WR....

              2. Back on the horse
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                oh yeah, just realised I;ve not seen him this season. Has he packed it in or just FFS?

                1. Dr Dream
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  He's having a shocker. Down towards the 3 mill mark the last time I looked.

                  1. Back on the horse
                    • 15 Years
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    Oh OK. He was never really about rank though was he. I thought he just liked the chat and a few punts.

                    1. Dr Dream
                      • 13 Years
                      9 years, 1 month ago

                      Yeah, I know. It's only a damned game and he always has a good team. It's just not happened for him though for week after week...

                      It really doesn't matter that much.

                      If this game, and indeed this site, has a problem it's the fact that we don't learn to love throwing our shoe at the TV for our failures.

                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  There's an inversly proportional between scoring bad and coming on here .. may be because of that .
                  Really need him to back again

            • Rossamous
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I brought in Kane, Austin, Siggy, and Eriksen this week. When who you're replacing have tough fixtures coming up and no form, and you're replacing them with players with form and good fixtures, it's worth it to me. Logically, you'd want them right away at the beginning of their fantastic runs instead of four weeks from now when you have a spare FT

                Did you just say that Eriksen was in form?

                  At least he has strong underlying statistics. His returns will be there I have reason to believe

            GTG? Going to ship Coutinho next week after I have made my mine up about a replacement - only lost 0.1 on SV so no rush

            Foster

            Alonso Brunt Holebas

            Sanchez Hazard Siggy Snodgrass

            Kane Giroud Austin

            Pickford Coutinho! Mee Amat

            1. Licious Lizard
              • 13 Years

              Yes. Although tough bench this week with Coutinho out. Is Giroud fit to even be a sub?

            Kane slowly slipping in the captain poll. Started at over 60% and now barely over 40%

              Bunch of liars.. If they own him they captain him 😉

                Banking on Sanchez doing the business against WH over Kane this week 🙂

              Sanchez with WHam's defensive problems

              1. Dr Dream
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Do you think so?...aye maybe...Damned near guaranteed to play striker again after last week.

                1. Licious Lizard
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  I agree. Also given that giroud small issue this week.

                  1. Dr Dream
                    • 13 Years
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    He was so damned good last week. Not only did he play well I also saw him waving his own players on and shouting instructions a couple of times. The mans starting to take charge as well.

                    1. Licious Lizard
                      • 13 Years
                      9 years, 1 month ago

                      Yes I loved watching him play (yet again) this weekend. But we already had a discussion praising him as a player this week 😉
                      But I agree, I think he is slowly taking on an even bigger role in the team.

                    Oh aye.

          5. Point-one short
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Already taken 2 hits this week and possibly considering another if Morgan looks like he'll fall and cedric rise in order to stem my TV bleeding out.

          6. Point-one short
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Which 2 to bench?

            A) Alonso (mci)
            B) McAuley (WAT)
            C) Holebas (wba)
            D) Morgan (sun)
            E) Daniels (LIV)

            Bench Holebas and Daniels?

            1. Hooky
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I'd bench Morgan before Holebas

              1. Point-one short
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah, Leicester def have been poor, but bookies have better odds on a leicester CS than Watford...

            2. CABAYE4
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Would seem to be the most logical choice.

              Part of me thinks Leicester defensive assets are a total bust now so I'd be tempted to play Holebas over Morgan.

            3. Licious Lizard
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Holebas and Daniels, but wouldn't expect CS from any other than McAuley.

            4. liiusions
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              D+E. Close between C+D as neither are keeping clean sheets but at least Holebas has set pieces

            5. Hy liverpool

          7. CABAYE4
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Would you do either of these moves for a hit?

            A. Bony to Negredo/Llorente

            B. Lukaku to Kane

            1. ILOVEBAPS
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              B. All day long

            2. Hooky
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Definitely not A. B is probably worth it with Spurs and Evertons respective fixtures

            3. Point-one short
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              B is worth it - Tottenhams fixtures are great over xmas and kaku on -80 on fplstats...

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              Ah now, B!!

            5. Hy liverpool
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              B
              And probably a with Negredo if you want another punt imo ..

            6. CABAYE4
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Pushed the button on Kane in!

              Really need to get rid of Bony but not sure I trust any of the alternatives for a hit.

          8. Marquis-Cha-Cha
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Lukaku to Defoe for a hit.

            Yay or nay?

            Other two are Aguero and Austin.

            1. Ginola14
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              No

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Never take out Trollkaku for a hit. I considered taking him out for Costa earlier in the week -8, but didn't do it.

            3. Marquis-Cha-Cha
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Possibly next week then.

          9. Schwarzer
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Who would you start?

            A) Grant (BUR)
            B) Pickford (LEI)

            Pickford racks up the save points and Leicester have been poor away but Grant more likely for a CS?

                    Very good 🙂

                          9 years, 1 month ago

                          Everyone should see Predator. It probably be on the national curriculum.

            Do we think Pedro will rise again before sat, have exact money to get him for Allen but want to avoid a -4 if possible?

              You don't want to play Allen against Burnley? Take the -4 next week if you want Pedro

            • 9 Years

            Play pieters or smith if I'm playing grant?

            Smith (liv)
            Pieters (bur)

            1. liiusions
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Pieters easily, why have Pieters and Grant when you're not gonna play them both at home to Burnley?

            2. Licious Lizard
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Pieters wihtout a doubt.

              Analyse each options separately imo.

            3. Ghost86
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Spreading the risk maybe smith assist potential

              1. Licious Lizard
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                As much as I have been talking down the pool mids this week, the chance of a Pieters CS is much higher than a Smith one. His attacking threat isn't great enough to counter that in my humble opinion.

                That being said, I don't mind doubling up in defence if I believe in the CS.

                  Save FT this week and work on a better forward line next week.
                  Tough benching decision in midfield and not the greatest defence this week.

            Guys what do you think to this for a -4 hit?

            Out: Mustafi / Mane / Rondon
            In: Rose / Zaha / Kane

              I think Rose is the best defensive pick in the game for four weeks. Zaha is no match for Mane's potential and i'd sooner have Costa or Ibra than Kane...even though I got Kane in earlier in the week.

                Oh and I have Zaha as well btw...but only because I like him as a steady pick for now...

                The plan was Kane to Ibra in 4 Gameweeks?

                I have him and firmino, if I kept Mane and sold firmino I'd have to buy Fer instead of Zaha?

            Hi lads,
            Would you do:
            Aguero & Lukaku - Kane & Ibra for a -4
            or
            Lukaku - Austin for free

            I know B is the safer one, but the first one would give me Kane as a stand out captain choice this week, whilst I can see Ibra coming to the fore these next few weeks... Thanks

                    He died on 2 weeks ago and has already been buried but the news has just broke on BBC. So they must have been very private, the article just says he was diagnosed 4 years ago with dementia. Sad, I used to watch Fawlty towers with my dad as a kid, it's actually the 2 years anniversary of my dads death, now, well at 02.23 to be precise.
