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.

    So poor that even after all their success there are still so many empty seats at the Etihad. Shocking really

      Success doesn't get a club instant fans though, it takes time. Man City are a small club and will be for a long time.

      Mancs have curfew's don't they?

      Man City are a small club at the moment because of their history and historic fan base. Big clubs are Liverpool, Utd, Newcastle (always draw a crowd), Leeds (always on Sky Sports because they draw the biggest TV crowd outside the PL) etc.

      If Man City keep it up though and win a CL and a few more titles then their history will be solid and they will no doubt be a 'big' club.

      Got the European infrastructure and ambition, got a UCL winning manager. Hoever have City ever been truly been in love with the competition? ... Miles to go to get bona fide European pedigree and class. Also requires an upgrade in mindset from fans who are just happy to win the EPL. (No bad thing.)

    Saw Mendy on the pitch there and got very confused.

    Turns out, like Leicester, Lyon have one of them too although this one is also #22.

    Aguero can't be in good shape if he's not on yet

    What a pass by Modric!

    Lyon off the post. City are having a mare.

      Yes

      1. MafioSol

        Let down.

    Ucl predicts pretty shity weekend in FPL. Bilva was good the last game but today again as wing back who does not cross (or do anything interesting). Salah worst game on Pool shirt. Mendy certainly out at least this gw. Ings out. Aguero probably ready but a bit uncertain. I guess I am waiting for Fraser's hat.

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Bilva scores haha. But okay, after moving to more central role.

    2. Gommy
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      You’ve had a mare, fella. Not once has Bilva been playing wingback tonight and arguably City’s best player second half, besides getting the goal.

      Absolutely running things.

    Bottomed; Pick a team (WC);

    2.3 ITB;
    Ederson, Patricio
    AWB, Bennett, Alonso, Laporte, Robbo
    Hazard, Pogba*, Moura, Richarlison, Fraser
    Lacazette, Arnautovic, Wilson

    2.3M would be used to upgrade someone at a later date. Toying with Moura/Eriksen however.
    *Had Pogba pending since before his brace.

    0.1 ITB;
    Henny, Hart
    AWB, Bennet, Alonso, Laporte Robbo
    Hazard, Mane, Moura, Richarlison, Fraser
    Aguero, Mitrovic, Wilson

      Really good to see Bale going up a level and shoving it back into the ungrateful Real fans.

        Is there a worse player for a title contending team than Gabriel Jesus?

        1. Oven Glover
          • 8 Years

          Morata

        2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 12 Years

        3. diesel001

          Mignolet is by far the worst

          People that think Ronaldo didn't deserve to get sent off should watch this. First he kicks Murillo on purpose, then he pulls his hair. Well deserved sending off.

          1. Brosstan

            That is clutching at straws. No doubt it will do the rounds on Barca fan pages though...

            Unintentional contact and then touching head of a guy who fell to the ground way too easy....
            Not a red, poor refs decision

            1. Ramboros
              • 12 Years

              Unintentional contact? Ronaldo kicks him with his left leg.
