The ScoutCast takes on the role of support group ahead of Gameweek 18, as the four-strong collective attempt to give advice on how to find motivation when the season begins to slide into the abyss.

I go AWOL, though Peter Kouwenberg comes in for a timely debut. The former Hall of Fame number one is one of those suffering an abject season, after an extraordinary run of three successive top 300 finishes. No, really.

For once, Jonty, Andy and Az are in the presence of Fantasy Premier League greatness, then, as the quartet give counsel on those struggling to soldier on after a season of “unnecessary roughness”.

Elsewhere they talk Harry Kane for once, as exit plans are abandoned, while questioning whether Eden Hazard can justify his selection in light of David Silva’s sudden goal spree.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Thursday evening. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

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

    2. Srv210
      • 8 Years

      Looks good man,no need for more hits

    3. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Id prefer Christensen DCL over Kiko and Austin

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        *oops meant Otamendi DCL

  7. sjhuk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who to bench!

    Pope
    Christensen Kolasinac Dunk
    Salah hazard d.silva shaqiri
    Lukaku firmino Murray

    Speroni Richarlison mee 3.9

    1. Goalosaurus
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd start richarlison.

      Hedging your bets with Pope and Murray on, so maybe Murray for richarlison.

      1. sjhuk
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks - I agree. I actually think that the burnley game has 0-0 written all over it!

  8. Zareos
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Courtois (Elliott),
    Otamendi, Mee, Mariappa (Dunk, Zeegalaar),
    Hazard, Salah, Sane, Richarlison (RLC)
    Kane, Morata, DCL

    Which would you go for?

    A. Save FT (with a view to Pogba and a United defender in next week), or
    B. Zeegalaar to Kenny?

    1. Drieet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd save the transfer unless Morata is out

  9. Drieet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Bench Dunk (BUR) or Mee (bha)?

    1. Srv210
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Cant you play Play both??..if I have to choose dunk is benched

    2. Sune
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mee.

  10. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Last 3 meetings btw liverpool and bournemouth

    liv 2-2 bou
    bou 4-3 liv
    bou 1-2 liv

    This fixture has goals written all over it. Currently on hazard(C) but tempted to switch to Salah

    Only problem with that is Salah might not start. Thoughts?

    1. Srv210
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard is a safe choice imo

    2. Goalosaurus
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, I'm expecting goals, going for Coutinho captain.

      Got salah but have same thoughts he might not start. That didn't do any harm against stoke though.

      1. Goalosaurus
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        was also expecting goals against west brom...

        1. HurriKane
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Thing is Westbrom is a team whose sole purpose is to defend against big teams

          However Bournemouth style is totally contrast. they'll have a proper go at Liverpools shaky defence

    3. ljuta zena
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sala played so many matches

      1. tokara
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        u are paid that kind of money and u expect to work only once a week?

        1. ljuta zena
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Pool owner 😀

  11. Bleach †
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So anyone getting rid of Kane for the blank and then getting him back, when no other team issues around? Or is it a daft move..

    1. Srv210
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No, it will be a waste of transfer,bench can cover one week I guess

    2. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No just a waste of a transfer

    3. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Getting rid this week and will get back for double game week

  12. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is Pogba on pens?

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba on ban

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Haha don't worry I do know this.

        He's likely going to be entering my team for the first time after his ban which means the decline will begin 😆

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

      Most likely.

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers TC

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

  13. Srv210
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    DDG
    Christensen,kabasele,ota,ogbonna,zanka
    Pogba,rich,hazard,Salah,sterling
    Kane,chicharito,DCL

    For this I'll be giving up Morata,Courtois,mustafi,Surman

    Any news on Morata?

  16. Distinctly Average
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Morning all!

    Haven't been on here for a while but how's this look?

    Had a torrid few weeks, 150k+ red arrow with 5 (yes, FIVE) consecutive captain blanks.

    DDG
    Kiko, Otamendi, Kenny
    Salah, Hazard(c), Sterling, D.Silva
    Kane, Vardy, DCL

    (Speroni, RLC, Mee, Naughton)

  17. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    If Morata is fit, I’ll captain him. Has rest, so many people sold him and Hazard played a lot of games lately. Could be tired or taken off early.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He only played 68 minutes last game, Hazard...

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Morata played zero mins though

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      same can be said of morata just returning from injury. he could be taken off early for likes of willian/pedro/bats etc

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Personally, I don’t think he was injured at all. It was purely rest imo

    3. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      too risky...saints will be better prepared defensively after that mauling...

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        So you’re saying neither Morata or Hazard should be considered as captain then?

  18. Fantasyamateur
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    1FT, 0.2M ITB.

    Foster
    Hegazy - Otamendi - Mee
    Richarlison - Salah - Sterling - Zaha
    Kane - Aguero - Firmino

    Bench: Elliot, Daniels, Carroll, Moreno.

    What do to? Thinking maybe Masuaku in for Daniels or Moreno.. Also hoping for an update on Richarlison.. Want to sell Agüero to be fair. Maybe Lacazette in..?

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Like the sound of Masuaku for Daniels or Moreno

  19. Kloppen Schloppen
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Love the part of the scoutcast at the end, where someone’s trying desperately to close the chat and there’s this moment of pause and frantic clicking noises.

  20. The Mighty Whites
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    1FT, 0.3 ITB:

    Foster, Elliot

    Monreal, Gomez, Lowton, Simpson, Dunk

    Salah, Coutinho, Sterling, Gross, Carroll

    Kane, Lacazette, Vardy

    A - Foster to Gomes
    B - Elliot to Speroni
    C - Carroll to RLC
    D - Gomez to Kenny / Ogbonna / Masuaku

    1. ljuta zena
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Eliot to Adrian

  21. Srv210
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    The way he's racking up points would you say DDG is an essential now???

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. Jones is cheaper, and racks up points just as well.

    2. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    3. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I have Jones and DDG but if money is an issue keep Jones and get Pickford

  22. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Ok this is bit of mad for a -4 hit but feel like it has potential for returns which one would you choose?

    A) Cahill & Ndidi > Grob & Williams

    B) Cahill & Ndidi > Lingard & Williams

    C) Cahill & Ndidi > Albrighton & Williams

    1. DAN DARE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Theyre all mad. Start again

  23. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Morning, thoughts on WC squad? Should I drop Haz for Pog and upgrade Quaner? Can accept Pog on the bench this week.
    Can also change Morata/Rich depending on pressers.

    DDG - Speroni
    Christensen - Jones - Otamendi - Kenny - Kabasele
    Salah - Silva - Haz - Mahrez - Richarlison
    Morata - Rooney - Quaner

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Team looks good. Maybe downgrade De Gea to upgrade as you'll want a full bench that plays over Christmas.

  24. PrincessPorkie
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Got 4 injuries so need to use my wildcard,

    who are the must haves?

    anyone got any dream teams to share...

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No attackers is a must have apart from Salah.

      But i think manunited , chelsea and otamendi are must haves given their fixtures

  25. Zizou
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    sane??

    keep or downgrade to silva/sterling/mahrez

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Give him the Spurs game.

  26. Exxtreme
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Sold Kane. Haul expected, so go C him. Guaranteed!

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      why u do that?

      kane scored agst Marid u think he cant score agst City???

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      expect city spurs to be high scoring

      1. tokara
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        i expect Delph to be responsible for all of spurs goals hehe

  27. Henning
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Need some help. Should i start someone from the bench?

    de Gea

    Jones Christensen Otamendi

    Silva Salah Hazard Richarlison

    Kane Firmino Dcl

    Elliot Gross Kenny Masuaku

  28. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Peter on the scoutcast seems like a nice guy and is obviously a great player, but it feels wrong seeing a beardless man on there.

  29. acidicleo
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    DDG
    Ota / Kola / Alonso / Jones
    Salah (c) / Hazard / Sterling / Richarlison
    Morata / Firmino

    Subs: Elliott / DCL / RLC / Kiko

    Already used FT to get Jones in for Ward.
    0.6 million ITB..

    1) Any hits needed?
    2) Should I play DLC (swa) ? If yes for who?

    I considered Ota and DCL but I feel Ota has goal threat in every match with those teasing KDB setpieces..
    But then DCL shud get in if Morata or Rich doesnt play.. Last thing I want is 10 min or less cameo !!

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      See what silva says about Rich 🙂

  30. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anything worth a hit?

    DDG / Elliot
    Mee / Duffy / Jones
    Salah / Hazard / Sterling / Richarlison
    Kane / Morata / DCL

    Bench: Pereira, Gross, Masuaku, Kiko

    3 flags atm (Kiko, Rich and Morata)

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      How did you manage to get 3 goalies

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        The dark arts. And brain on autopilot!

    2. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wow. 3 goalies. I need this cheat for a 6-man midfield.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I wasted it really getting both Elliot and Pereira!
