ScoutCast Episode 264 – FPL bandwagons to jump on or avoid

Buoyed by some impressive scores from the opening day, the Scoutcast crew are in optimistic mood as they tackle the key issues facing Fantasy managers ahead of Gameweek 2.

I’m joined by Andy, Az and new Scoutcast face Neale (aka Skonto Rigga) to separate the wheat from the chaff in the Fantasy Premier League’s transfer market.

We ponder whether reports of the demise of forwards have been greatly exaggerated and list the under-performing players from Gameweek 1 who may well punish their sellers.

Our rough with the smooth round-up features a tale of two benches.

While later in the show I come under attack from my colleagues, and even a moth, as we search for this season’s budget midfield gem.

We end by revealing our Captain choices when Neale unleashes one of the most surprising armband selections the Scoutcast has ever seen. It caps an impressive debut to remember for both him and the moth.

    Mahez to sterling or keep Mahez for another week to see how he does? i had 2.5m ready to pull the trigger on bilva to KDB luckly i delayed

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Quite early to be 2nd guessing Pep. Go with nailed big 6 options.

      1. Chockky
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        thank you, my other option was Eriksen but Spurs fixtures looked average

    2. rhysmd
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Hold for one more week to see where everyone fits into the KDB-less puzzle

      1. Chockky
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        thank you. can never guess Pep

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Think I’m going Sanchez to sterling so yeah

      1. Chockky
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        i would do same as i think sanchez is a price drop waiting to happen

  2. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Folks, is anyone stuck with Hudson Adoi?

    I have a good team this week and wasn’t going to make any channges, but maybe now is the time to just replace him with a playing 4.5 mid.

    Sort of feels like a wasted transfer though..
    What should I do?

    1. rhysmd
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      If you have two other subs who will get minutes I would hold fire

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      No 4.5 mids are worth having but some 5.0 are.

    3. mysteryDave
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      You have two choices. Swap out before price drops - or keep all season and hope you never need your 3rd sub.

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        All season ? Behave. Just move on wildcard or use as part of your 2FT next week with great flexibility.

        1. mysteryDave
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Fair, but there is a price drop risk. If you are only getting 4.4 next week...

          1. Richd
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah understood.

            Unfortunately the 4.5 area is barren id rather do two or three transfers next week and find someone more exciting in a higher price bracket else just stick with him.

    4. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I have him and bednarek. AWB my other.

      I contemplated the same as you but it seems a waste. I’d rather have 2 FT Next week. Any move will be boring and I’ll regret.

    5. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Save if you're happy with your XI and first sub.

    6. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Waste of a transfer. Just keep as bench fodder for third sub. Get rid whenever you wildcard in first part of the season.

    7. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      You are not alone. I also took this actually brilliant idea ;). I'm going to hold until I would be burning a transfer (not be able to roll over another).
      I think he's also only an injury away from the squad.

    8. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He's in my team. Plan for GW3 is to move from 3-4-3 to 3-5-2 so that will solve the problem for me.

  3. Pumpkinhead
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Controversial opinion but I'm only interesting in the scout cast if Luke or Granville are on. Az as well if he's taking his shots.

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      You don't need to be interesting in the scoutcast, they can't hear you.

      1. Pumpkinhead
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        k

  4. Salarrivederci
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Play Cedric or PVA?

    Rest of the team:

    DDG
    Mendy - Robertson - (PVA/Cedric)
    Salah - Mané - B. Silva - Richarlison - Maddison
    Agüero - Ings

    (Hamer, PVA/Cedric, Wan-Bissaka, Kamara)

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Always PVA imo - don't trust southamton to keep a cleanie.

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks 😉

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      PVA

  5. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years

    Why is mark not a permanent fixture on the ScoutCast team this season ?

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers TM, i respect that

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Says he quit the FPL show as he’s been having family problems and it was taking up a lot of his life or something along those lines..
      May be the reason for him leaving the Scoutcast but not sure.

    2. MysticMac17
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Question has been asked many times. He took a step back this year because of family reasons. He commented on one of the forums here saying so.

    3. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Semi retired.

  6. Union_Jacks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Jota > Bernardo Silva

    DONE! 😀

    1. Punty
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Just watched highlights from Wolves - Everton.. Not happy with owning Jota myself after that but will wait one more GW to see..

      I already have B.Silva though

      1. RIOmybuddy777
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        think jota will be good, but not as good as Maddison.... Mad for it Maddison...corners, free kicks, and shoots on site.. think he will be great for £6.5 mill.....get on it

  7. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    If you had both Kane and Aguero this week which one would you captain?

    1. rhysmd
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Kun

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero.

    3. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      aguero

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Kane.

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Kun...we know that Man City will dominate and have about 80% of the possession

    6. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Kane.

    7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      The one who is not at risk of being benched

    8. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Kane

    9. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Its August

  8. Cornholi0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez to Bernardo Silva done, and it feels awesome!

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I feel you man!

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Fair play. Sanchez’s 10.5m is burning a hole in my team and my “placeholder for KDB” is up in flames. Think I’m going to give him Brighton though, and with 2FT’s maybe look at a double involving downgrading King to Ings and then Alexis to either Sterling, Haz or Eriksen.

  9. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    'Spurs can't move the City game to Wembley because there is an NFL game between Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars that afternoon.'

    Perfect, football can't be played on the most footballic stadium in the world because of the most stupid sport in the world.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Money talks, it's still a football game.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Football for some...

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Footballic

      That is a new one

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        How do you like it?

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I think it is a load of old ballics

    3. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      The FA said spurs wouldn’t be allowed to play at home in 2 different stadiums in the same season a few years ago. Seems as though they’ve gone back on that...

    4. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      TBF Spurs should’ve had their stadium ready in time

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      What are the options? Hope new stadium is tested and ready or postpone to a later date?

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Spurs to forfeit the game

        Aguero and Mahrez both to be awarded double hat tricks in FPL

      2. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Seems like they could search for 3rd venue this sesaon.

    6. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      DGW!!!

      1. banskt
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        More like a blank gameweek. The match will be forfeited to City. 3 points.

        No FPL points from any Spurs / City players.

    7. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      It’s not the NFL’s fault that Spurs couldn’t build their stadium in time. It’s not Spurs stadium, and it’s not just for football. So pipe down and worry about Serbia.

  10. Totalfootball
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    King + Lucas Moura to Bilva + WIlson for -4

    Yes or no

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes for me

      1. Totalfootball
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Has to be done today because of price rise
        Pull the trigger ?

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I believe most people will say no but I say do it.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      No

      1. Totalfootball
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Why ?
        Any reasons

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Lucas vs fulham
          And King is better pick than Wilson
          I wouldn't do it for free

          1. Totalfootball
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks !

  11. Gazzpfc

    5 years, 8 months ago

    Fabianski
    Mendy/Alexander Arthur/ Shaw
    Neves/Richarlison/B Silva/ Salah
    Aguerro/Firmino/Tosun

    Foster/Cedric/Wan/Masuka

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Who is Alexander Arthur?

      Looks good if that is what you wanted to know

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Awful team, you should stop playing!

  12. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Is that new guy on the cast Scotty B or FPL Virgin.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He didn't ask a lot of questions so my best guess is FPL Virgin

      1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Very true.

  13. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Jonty reacted to that Moth like it was Zombie Hornet on meths!

    Moths are lovely creatures.

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      The moths want Mark back

      Jonty was a good host last night though I thought

    2. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Who.

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Who's Jonty?

      1. wander
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Has Granville been sacked

        1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Granville is in bonus points and assists now.

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            And Mark on assists.

    4. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      Did he open his wallet?

  14. OLLY G
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    What bench order please, ABC?

    (A) Stephens
    (B) Wan-Bissaka
    (C) Tomkins.

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      C b a

  15. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Is there any chance Kun doesn't play?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      Yes

    2. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…

      No

    3. Qaiss

      Are you trolling when you ask some of these questions?

        Maybe not a troll just plain stupid ?

        1. Syd.

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Better than watching Matt White

    6. el polako

      You asking this question is an answer itself.

    7. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
      • 5 Years

      No

    8. banskt
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, still I would captain Kun.

    9. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He will certaintly be expected to start and be in every predicted line-up but with Pep we can never be 100% certain.

      Is it not exhausting asking all these inane questions

    11. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      You’ve asked 20+ questions today (gave up counting at 20).

      Can’t you make any decisions for yourself, or do any of your own research?

  16. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Any reason not to sell willian for Bilva now other than that i won't have any players to watch in the london derby ???

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Do it!

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years

        But but ... The london derby.. Set pieces.
        Lol

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Arsenal are grim and as for their defence

          Could be a few goals for Chelsea in that game

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            But but Bilva is on fire.... 😀

  17. Borisalandoris

    Would anyone take out Sanchez for a City mid this gw? I'll do it very soon I didn't rate his performance in the first fixture but can see the swine scoring a brace if I take him out now

    1. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Itching to bring Sterling in for Sanchez tonight. Most likely bring him in tomorrow to be on the safe side.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years

        Where are you getting the 0.5?

          Have to take a -4 hit (Original plan was KDB)

          I'm torn between downgrading King to Ings, or Janmaat to 4.5 defender.

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Hmmmm... if Sanchez sneaks a goal v Brighton it could sting when taking hits... then again, if sterling hattricks it looks a good move.

            King>Ings & Sanchez>Sterling/Haz/Eriksen are the same moves I’m considering... but probably post, rather than pre-deadline

        Man citys fixtures are sexual and I have the 0.5 itb for this too. Hmmmmmm

  19. FPLzebub
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    If you have nothing else that needs doing is it worth using a transfer on a bench player simply to avoid a 0.1m loss?

    1. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, your GW30+ wildcard will thank you for it

    2. No Luck
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes if you think the player you are getting will rise 0.2m or if you have 2 FT.

  20. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ

    Shoutcast not the same without Mark. There is no knowledge to be gained with the current cast unfortunate.

    1. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      *unfortunately

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years

        Jonty still there though 🙂

    2. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Totally disagree

      1. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Why is that?

        1. Kryten
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          There constant mangers with great records and is why there in the show and mark probably picks them. The show has improved alot since Mark and grannville days and jonty, az and Andy were introduced. The opinions are similar but there there's a small pool of players to give advice look at community comments there all the same questions. Sure there could be more completion and rivalry in the discussion but to say they offer no knowledge is narrow minded

          1. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            This is a fair comment, maybe I am being narrow minded.

    3. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Agree the Cast is not the same without Mark.

      Disagree with the rest.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        All the best Mark btw. 🙂

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      It’s not the same without mark understandably. But still great to listen to imo, the guys do a great job.

  21. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Hate to say it but one of the most common questions over the next few weeks will be: "Shall I downgrade Auba to Laca and use the extra 1.5m on (Insert player here)"

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I just wonder whether Ozil & Ramsey will rival them both for value

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Good shout, I do like the look of Laca & Ramsey.

    2. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Auba and Laca are different class. Auba is well worth the extra 1.5m.

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Agree but Laca will play central against lesser teams. He'll get good service and do well for his price tag.

        1. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Auba gives another captain option besides Salah, I wouldn't trust (c) on Laca due to slight risk of being benched.

    3. shotgunnufc - MANIAC

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        also see mkhi over ramsey for the extra 0.5mil

    4. el polako
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Cool kids own Laca.

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Kun + Cairney -> Laca + Maddison ez

    6. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      You are probably right. I was convinced before pre season that Auba was the obvious pick of the two but I'm not so sure anymore. Laca looked very good when subbed on against City

  22. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez to B silva is tempting but not great right?

    1. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I would do it. Both Sanchez and United are poor and B Silva will rise tonight. If I owned Sanchez I would jump off as fast as I could although I would rather do Sanchez to Hazard or if you have the extra funds, Sterling as a differential.

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Hazard interesting, not sure it’s worth it this week

        1. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          If you are set on B Silva then make the move tonight because that 0.1 in value will burn you so early when you have to spend the banked money. Otherwise hold.

          1. Lord Flashheart
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I actually think Maddison could outscore b silva but that’s a punt I guess

            1. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Certainly, my midfield is; Salah, Mane, B Silva, Richarlison, Maddison.

              1. Lord Flashheart
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years

                Nice!

      I did it. Feels great!! 3m ITB feels great to 🙂 🙂

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Keeping Sanchez for sure !

  23. No Luck
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Best keeper until GW8? Thinking Hart but not sure if he's gonna keep his place. Other options are Hennessey (again not sure if he's secure) or Schmeichel.

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Ederson

      1. No Luck
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Won't be using a City slot on the keeper though

    2. fantasykid
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Hart IMO. Burnley's fixtures are quite decent and i'm guessing that Dyche would probably play Lindegaard/Heaton in the domestic cup games.

      1. No Luck
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah I hope so. A Burnley keeper for £4.5m would be ideal. Might take the gamble and hope it pays off, Hart's been doing well since coming in.

  24. Bruno Bruno!!

    Am I crazy to want to captain Mendy ?

    2. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Very maverick not got the cohonas myself goodluck if you do

    3. No Luck
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      No but we've seen the heartbreak before with Alonso (c), Kolarov (c), Baines (c) and so on...

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not at all, but if you own Aguero or Salah you really need to be captaining one of them as they take up nearly a quarter of your total budget.

    5. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      No but after Pep's comments I do feel Mendy will adjust his role somewhat.

    6. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I want to do that aswell and I'm not crazy I think. So I don't think you are crazy. Not based only on that anyways

  25. Vamos Los Celeste
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    I decided to bring Hazard in for Sanchez GW3
    but i have a feeling that getting him now is better
    What do you think ?

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I think willian will be better value assuming he will be a regular starter

      1. Vamos Los Celeste
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Hazard is on another level i reckon

        1. Lord Flashheart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          He is
          But is he 3m more?

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard may not even start

      1. Vamos Los Celeste
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        why is that ? Madrid rumours again ?

    3. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard will score this week, Sanchez will not.

  26. bitars

    Who is most nailed in Burnleys defense?
    I mean Gibson must be a threat to Mee and Tarkowskis positions?

    I think the scoutcast was brilliant. Breathe of fresh air.

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Agreed

  28. pukunui
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Swap Jota and Hughes for Richarlison and Jorginho? Or carry over the FT?

  29. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…

    A new feature FFS could introduce is tell us how many posts are on the current page. That way we can avoid getting bottomed

    1. Punty
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      What about moving the bottom 3 posts on each page to the new page so noone is bottomed

  30. WE ARE RANGERS
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Not liking the new Scoutcast, Jonty is better in the background with his funny style. When he is the presenter it sounds like a children's programme "lets look behind the square window" style. Give Andy the presenter job, he is more suited to it as he has his own streams.
    Or else just give it to that other new (boring) guy

    1. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years

      Give the guys a break. I bet you complained when the no backpass rule was introduced. Move with the times

          If a community member was on every week that would be great but the mods refuse to give it a try

          1. Niemi
            • 9 Years

            Most of the mods are not involved in the scoutcast 😉

      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I did not enjoy it either, first shoutcast in a while I didn't watch all the way through. I will give it another chance next week though.

      How can you possibly judge that the new guy is "boring" when it's his first time on and has only had a few minutes. This is a Fantasy Football Podcast which most of the country would find inherently "boring" if not sharing the hobby.
