FFScoutcast Episode 268 – Hazardous

Eden Hazard’s 20-point haul in Gameweek 5 has left the Scoutcast team in shock.

For David and Joe, the Chelsea man’s fine early-season form has seen them fire up their Wildcards as they look to rip up their teams to accommodate him.

Az is still without the Belgian but is more than a little concerned he will miss out on another monster score.

Andy, meanwhile, has been left reeling from a fine score of his own, having already swooped for the winger prior to his hat-trick against Cardiff.

In this gimmick-free Scoutcast, the team go back to basics as they ponder the “essential” status of Hazard as well as the other key Fantasy issues of the week posed by the community.

This includes a look at the array of talent in the Wolves defence, the exceptional value offered by Bournemouth’s midfield sensation Ryan Fraser and pinpointing teams’ vulnerabilities.

Elsewhere, benching issues take centre stage in our “rough with the smooth” round-up and the team also find time to consider the best differentials and likeliest clean sheets in Gameweek 6.

    A), B), C) or D)?

    A) Hennessey & Hamer, Bennet, Trippier
    B) Hennessey & Patricio, Doherty, Shaw
    C) Hennessey & Patricio, Doherty, Gomez
    C) Hennessey & Patricio, Doherty, TAA

    Rest of the defence would be AWB, Mendy & Alonso
    Thinking A) but less flexible on the keeper as Hamer isn't getting a game any more...

    Thanks.

      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Stopped putting shorties in now. Just not good value. Utd, Bayern and Real Madrid not winning either yet.

  13. Pooodle
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    The more I look at my team the more I want to wildcard - yes or no?

    Current team:

    Fabianski, Foster
    Alonso, Mendy, Robertson, Bennett, Wan-Bissaka
    Salah, Mane, B Silva, Pedro, Stephens
    Aguero, Arnie, Ings

    Going to something like:

    Patricio, Foster,
    Alonso, Walker, Tomkins, Bennett, Wan-Bissaka
    Salah, Hazard, Maddison, Richarlison, Fraser
    Aguero, Zaha/Mitro, Jimenez

    1. mr messi
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      You don't need to wc

  14. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    People saying Delph going to give Mendy competition... lol

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

      Tbf, Mendy wouldn't have stopped that either, he'd have been up the other end of the pitch.

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

        Don't need to give much competition either when the other player is injured.

      2. Bielsa's Bucket
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        True. But City would of already been up 2-0 with Mendy assist and goal 😉

  15. C'mon the Fylde
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I have Salah.

    Would you...

    A) Mane -> Fraser
    B) Mane -> Richarlison
    C) LEAVE.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      LOG OFF

    2. C'mon the Fylde
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I have Mane, Salah, Hazard, Billing (Neves) in midfield

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I'd be looking to turn Neves into Fraser

  16. #FPLBhuna

    1. Woy of the Wovers

  17. Woy of the Wovers
    • 13 Years

    City are learning from Liverpool. Trying to make Euro-nights exciting.

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Ronaldo red

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      OMG!

  19. el polako
    • 6 Years

    Ronaldo red card.

  20. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Violent conduct? Will he miss the United game?

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

      Can't play parent club anyway.

  21. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Ronaldo 😆

  22. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Has there been any more news on Mendy? Not even on the bench for this game and injury tab has him expected to miss the next 2 gameweeks?

    1. MrFlibbles
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      It doesn't look good considering he missed the entirety of last season with injury. The question is he worth transferring out for 2 GW's for someone like Trippier?

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        can always get him back in and Trippier has a good run of fixtures now anyways. Could be worth it.

  23. MrFlibbles
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Maddison or Richarlison? Is richarlison going to rip it up again for Everton or is Maddison the more reliable pick with the betetr fixtures?

    1. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Asking myself the same questions. Was set on Maddison but his points have been 'lucky', Richarlison in form and playing in an attacking team...

  24. Uncle John from Jamaica
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Chaps. Could I have some help please. on a WC. Anything I am missing?

    Bego (Boruc)
    Robertson Mendy Alonso (AWB Peltier)
    Hazard Mane Moura Fraser (Stephens)
    Aguero Zaha Firmino

    0.1m in the bank?

    Unsure on Bego but combo at 8.5m seems too good to turn down?

    1. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Peltier to Bennett the obvious one

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I am 0.1m short

  25. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years

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

    Ronaldo getting as many games ban as Messi got goals last night.

  27. Dannyb
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Tempted to do Mendy to Trippier now tbh.

    1. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Anything I've missed or because of injury doubt?

    2. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Injury doubt.

  28. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    1. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 12 Years
