Overthinking? It’s what we do – don’t dare ask us to stop.

Particularly now that our heads are swimming with thoughts of blank and double Gameweeks. All those variables, all that planning and strategising: we’re in our element.

Once again, thanks to another bout of community questions, Jonty and Andy join me for another ScoutCast dominated by chatter surrounding our tactics and transfers approaching the missing fixtures.

We break off to nominate the new Premier League whipping boys, while we ponder whether to proclaim Sigurdsson as “essential”, revisit Coleman vs Baines and assess whether the blanks are reason enough to be rid of Alexis Sanchez.

For my money, that’s one decision that requires very little thinking.

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

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

  1. GE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    What to do?

    Def (playing 3-5-2):

    Rose/Baines/Brunt
    (Chambers, Amat)

    Amat or Rose out and who in? (1.8 itb, 2FT)

    1. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Wait for team news on Rose.

  2. The Head-Ake
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Henessey
    Holgate - McAuley - Alonso - Rose
    Eriksen - Alli - Philips - Sanchez
    Costa - Ibra

    (Jakupovic/Pedro/Barnes/Chambers - 1FT , 0.4 ITB)

    Am I GTG? Who do I kick out and get in? What are some suggestions? Thanks.

    1. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Sigurdsson in place of Pedro.

      1. DRYACID
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        My next move. Would have been this g/w other than the Jones injury!

  3. willgriggsonfire
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Sorry, bottomed, reposting!
    Heaton Grant
    Alonso Baines Brunt Jones McAuley
    Sanchez Eriksen Stanislas Philips Snodgrass
    Gray Kane Ibrahimovich

    After that horror GW, contemplating next moves.

    A. McAuley+Stanislas -> Holebas+Zaha
    B. Grant+Stanislas -> Jaku+Zaha

    Anything else you can suggest?

    1. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      5-2-3?

      1. Legomane
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        I'd prioritise jones out ahead of mcauley. Mac will play both bgw, jones will likely play neither and could be rested. Downgrade for funds, yoshida or holgate (risky, but could play gw28) perhaps? I'd be more tempted to do gray>tekkers I think than Stan out

      2. willgriggsonfire
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        No funds for Tekkers.
        Stan has bad fixtures in next 4.
        Also, Zaha had as many attempts on goal as Tekkers last match, was unlucky as he hit the post twice.

    2. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Too risky imo.
      Was thinking of playing 4 def. with Philips as the third mid.
      Zaha has good fixtures coming up.

  4. Vlekz
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Grant(jaku)
      Baines Coleman brunt walker (chambers)
      Pogba Philips alli (Sanchez Stanislas)
      Ibra lukaku Carroll
      Sanchez on the bench or someone else instead of him. Pogba has lei so wanna play.

      1. willgriggsonfire
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        I'd play Sanchez over Carroll.

        1. Musicholic
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          With him ^
          I would always play sanchez.

        2. Vlekz
            9 years, 6 days ago

            Sou have a makeshift defense with virgil out. Still not a good idea?

            1. willgriggsonfire
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              If you're looking for a differential, might as well go with him but I have a gut feeling that Sanchez is going to play up top this GW.

        3. Paul
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          Bench Stan easy

          1. Vlekz
              9 years, 6 days ago

              Stan sanchez and chambers on the bench

          2. TokyoRisingSun
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 days ago

            Sanchez has delivered attacking returns in 10 out of his last 11 gameweeks. Benching him is risky to say the least.

          3. Vlekz
              9 years, 6 days ago

              So bench Philips pogba or Carroll?

          4. Judas
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 days ago

            Striker headaces!!!?!??

            A: Aguero + Giroud ---> Kane + Lukaku
            B: Aguero + Giroud ---> Costa + Lukaku
            C: Aguero + Giroud ---> Costa + Kane
            D: Giroud ---> Benteke/Llorente

            1. NilSatisNisiOptimum78
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              A is the move is just made mate

            2. Legomane
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              D could be shroud

              I'm in similar position Aguero/Rondon > Kane/Jesus is tempting me but (-8) is a fair price to pay if Sergio(c) pops up with a 2x20pointer...

          5. MOZIL
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 days ago

            Coutinho or Mane for this Gw?

            1. willgriggsonfire
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              Firmino. He'll get good assists with both Cou and Mane playing.

          6. Live Lad
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 days ago

            Still early I know but TC GW 34, WC 36, BB 37 for most of you?

            1. Paul
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              yupp and AOA 38... cause i can't find use for it and defense is very decent

            2. willgriggsonfire
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              I'd wait for the fixtures, but yeah, looks likely!

            3. TokyoRisingSun
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              Pretty much yeah

            4. *sigh*
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              Looks that way.Sanchez has SUN plus one other in 34

            5. FPL Virgin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              It's a shame to use the WC and BB so late in the season

              1. Dre
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 6 days ago

                Why?

            6. Demel
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              WC 29. BB 34 TC 37

          7. Grand Thibauto
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 days ago

            Would you do with 2 FTs
            A. Hazard+Gru to Lukaku+Alli
            B. Lallana+Gru to Lukaku+Zaha
            C. Gru to Rondon/Carroll and bank the other FT

            1. FPLtfs
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              A or B.

              1. Grand Thibauto
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 6 days ago

                There's an alternate in Kane+Siggy in for A. But opting for B for the Zaha differential.

            Morning gents. Anything further needed?

            Courtois
            Jones - McAuley - RFM
            Sanchez - Alli - Coutinho - Phillips
            Lukaku (V) - Kane (c) - Ibra

            (Jaku - Carroll - Yoshida - Pieters)

              Jones may b out?
              Cout to Siggy next week

              1. Going Home
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 6 days ago

                Cout to Siggy definitely happening. Not too unhappy with Yoshida off the bench but don't see Jones getting 15 mins so rather start him and hope for the best

                1. Joggers Nipple
                  • 16 Years
                  9 years, 6 days ago

                    • 9 Years
                    9 years, 6 days ago

                    Why take out coutinho? He's playing against hull this gw, might score huge this gw

                    1. Joggers Nipple
                      • 16 Years
                      9 years, 6 days ago

                      Next week

                      1. MOZIL
                        • 9 Years
                        9 years, 6 days ago

                        But hes playing against leicester the week after tho, maybe keep?

                      • 11 Years
                      9 years, 6 days ago

                      I think the plan is to do it after the hull game

            1. Paul

                Alonso - Evans - Holgate - Pieters - Chambers
                Alli - Hazard - Sanchez - Antonio - Phillips

              • 11 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              dépends on your team, I'd say Everton Baines/Coleman or Lukaku

              1. timPgoodwin

                Thank you, I have Giroud currently so a straight swap out with the blanks coming up.

              • 13 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              It'd be little easier if you'd tell who you already have

              1. timPgoodwin
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 6 days ago

              • 14 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              Lukaku is the obvious choice.

              1. timPgoodwin
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 6 days ago

                Cheers, I currently have Giroud currently so a straight swap out with the blanks coming up fro ARS.

          11. FPLAdmiral
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 days ago

            Worth taking Giroud out for -4 or play Stanislas? 0.4m ITB.

            Heaton
            Coleman, Brunt, Baines
            Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Stanislas, Phillips
            Ibra (vc), Lukaku (c)

            (Jakup)(Giroud, Daniels, Wilson).

            1. The Man Pastore
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              Who would you get in for Giroud?

              1. The Man Pastore
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 6 days ago

                i think you should save and play Stan

          12. Karan_G14
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 days ago

            Choose:

            A) Carroll

            B) Benteke

            Appreciate your thoughts!

            1. Joggers Nipple
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              Think im in the minority but Iike A

            2. Make United Great Again
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              B

              Personally don't like both as options.

            3. Demel
              • 14 Years

            Sanchez Alli Siggy Stanislas Capoue
            Ibra Costa Rondon

            1 FT 2.7 ITB

            A) Rondon->Carroll
            B) Downgrade Alonson, Rondon-> Lukaku -4
            C) Downgrade another defender, Rondon->Lukaku -4
            D) Save

            1. The Man Pastore
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              How much more do you need to do Rondon --> Lukaku?

              1. JamesFG
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 6 days ago

                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 6 days ago

                  What about Capoue to Carroll? But then, i am not sure it is worth -4pts...

            2. JamesFG
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 days ago

              Could also do Capoue->Carroll, Rondon->Lukaku -4

              1. Demel
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 6 days ago

                That looks good ^

          14. The Man Pastore
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 days ago

            What would you do with this team? Should i save FT?

            Heaton l Pickford
            Alonso l Baines l PVA l Friend l Amat
            Sanchez l Lallana l Alli l Phillips l De Roon

            Hello fantasy world! I really need your help. Daniels is a doubt, and Im wondering if a should take a hit to get in Coleman. Have already taken a hit for Lukaku. Everton also have easier fixtures. Whether Daniels starting or not, is it gtg regarding getting in Coleman for a hit ?

                    Don't take him out for a hit either hope he plays or Evans does, if they are both ruled out I'd take a hit for ake as Daniels has a fixture gw28 and ake unlikely to play again this season.

            Considering Allen -> Siggy/Zaha/Stanislas or Rondon/Defoe -> Lukaku, but maybe best move is save.
            I can't decide if i want to go 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 in the future, that's why iv'e kept the 4.1£ ITB for a couple of weeks.

            Scoutcast was excellent this week. If you're unsure about what to do about the blank GWs, give it a watch. They talk a lot of sense.

                  The only thing that made sense was Mark saying maybe everyone is getting their balls in a GW 28 knot. Especially when he talked about Sterling and how he now can't be mentioned in any differential article due to the blank.

                  1. FPL Virgin
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                    That's true. I thought what they said about only getting blank-proof players who you would get normally was spot on. No point ripping your team up for a 2 point player.

                    It's a shame we did get a definitive answer on what they were doing with Sanchez GW26 to 28, though.

                  9 years, 6 days ago

                  Because he is a rotation risk and blanks twice soon. It could really pay off, though. Bold isn't necessarily bad.

                    • 16 Years

                    Soon in GW 26 soon, yes. Where he can be benched easily. Then he has sun(a). I'm not worried about 28 at all. Big points on offer over next 3. Good luck to those ignoring everything in between GW 24-28.

                    Let's see what Pep says. He has already said:

                    "These guys are the future of the club. In Europe no one has strikers as young as Manchester City."

                    1. FPL Virgin

                      9 years, 6 days ago

                      Yeah, he rates them very highly. And Jesus could do some serious damage over the next few GWs.

                      But sadly everyone is a rotation risk under Pep. Such a shame what he has done to Aguero.

                  Like a ballsy pick

                  Aguero plus 4.4 mid is about 17m
                  Jesus plus 8m mid is about 17m

                    I have not up my mind, but Ibra is coming out for either Lukaku or Jesus. If Lukaku, then I might get Sterling as well. Live a little.

              Big Man City press conference today.

              With any luck, Pep will fully back Aguero and say he will start.

              Surely Aguero and Jesus can play together ...?

                I had my worst gw yet this week after being in the top 100k for some time, your team looks fine tbh, just unlucky last gw.

                  About Aguero really. Still holding as can't make up mind on alternative, but that's been obvious mistake 'til now.

                    Sanchez must have hurted you as well... Keep Kun for this week but get rid after and get Lukaku for the coming blanks.

                        Yeah Lukaku likely as Aguero will be gone this week regardless, but all else equal I'd never get him. Sanchez? No his 4pts was my highest scorer.

                  Do we know when Friend will be back?

                      Not really. "Other than George Friend with his calf, I think everyone else will be fit."

                    Anyone else with Aguero, what have you done with him? is it risky to bring in Jesus

                        Possibly no riskier than holding Aguero to be fair.

                        Yes, Kun's going to be fit for the weekend, Jesus came off with a knock against WHU and it looks like City have two blanks looming (GW26 and probably GW28)

                      Went with Baines instead Coleman as my closest ML rival has him (he's trailing by 6 points). F*ked it up, didn't I?

                          Let there be penalties!

                        It will be close between the 2 until the end of the season imo.
