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 one mod thinks my lol post should be removed. Another mod thinks it shouldn't have been.

    And now they lock the post where I was discussing it so I can't discuss further. Why? Was I starting to make sense?

    Nice site these days. The mods themselves aren't clear about the rule. Nor are we.

    If no other site bans users for this and you are, what do you think that's a sign of?

    1. A.T
      • 13 Years

      The times

    2. Lord Flashheart

      Oh give it a rest

      Time for you to chat about matches and fpl, instead of seeking attention like a ... ?!?

      Don't mind the 'lol' posts getting removed. Means there is less crap on here. Wouldn't mind RMTs and similar questions parked somewhere else too.

      I didn’t say it shouldn’t have been banned, I said I wasn’t the one who did it. There’s a very easy solution to the problem and that’s just not doing it. It’s not like anyone is sitting there laughing at a witty ‘lolnaldo’ post in the first place

      You wouldn't last 2 mins on most sites spouting that childish lol bile pal. Come on, you don't need to resort to the level of some on here. Be better

    City so lucky they are only 2 down. Still half a chance of getting something,

    1. The Jackal
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      he says 5 seconds before a goal

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

    How much confidence does this give you in a Kun (c) with a 30 minute cameo

    1. A.T
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Quite a bit

    2. MafioSol
      • 10 Years

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

  12. diesel001
    • 7 Years

    Sane A

    Both nailed to start in the PL this weekend now?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Why would it mean that? How does anything mean a player is nailed on?

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, Pep confirmed that anyone who scores or assists starts the next game.

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Sane maybe. God knows about Bilva.

    1. mdm
      • 12 Years

      Not for a hit

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years

    2. Baps hunter

  17. FPL Ultras
    • 6 Years

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years

      No

  18. Zladan

    Mkhi out Pogba in.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Won't face black and yellow teams every week.

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        He has a nice run of fixtures though.

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

        Will face Wolves
        Yellow and black

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      Old boys 😀

    3. mdm
      • 12 Years

      I would

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Waiting for Pogba price fall. Hopefully goes down tonight.

  19. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Sane just buy place in starting 11 for weekend. Goodbye Mendy.

  20. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Bilva playing centrally and far mot effective

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

      Hopefully gets that role this gw. On wing back he is non existing.

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

    Well done Bilva owners!

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      What for! I'm taking him out!

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

        Heard that anyone who scores or assists tonight is starting vs Cardiff.

        1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          If only it were true!

  22. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years

    Macca commentating on consecutive nights on my match of choice.

    Silence is golden.

      • 9 Years

      Hope you don't have any dogs

  23. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Was just about to post who is the best replacement for B.Silva at that price or below. Ha.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Richarlison

      1. 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Considering him but I like the look of Maddison's fixtures, especially the next 3 before the international break.

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

      I'd still look to replace him - he is either rotated, or played in a negative OOP.

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        This. I'm toying with Pogba at the mo

  24. 1569Tippins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Bilva troll. Just sold him for Fraser... better he scores in the Champions League though!

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      He prob won't play at weekend , considering who they have. Hardly going to be a rest

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        * test

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

      Like Eriksen. Scoring his goals in non-PL games.

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

    Mendy been very good!

  26. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Sane is a better player than Sterling isn’t he?

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Sterling's been slowing momentum down every time he gets it today.

      • Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        When both are on form they are both good options. Sane is technically better tho

      • A.T
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Oh yes

      • Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Completely different players. But yes Sane brings more to the team when they are struggling.

      • Rainer
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        As long as he's playing against a defender who can't defend.

      • RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Sane is a sensational player. Much better than Sterling imo

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

        City's fourth best player, if that's a thing

      • Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yer , but I think sterling is more important to Peps style

    2. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Serious question, what are owners of B.Silva doing?

      He's looked lively all season, was unlucky not score last game and has Cardiff & Brighton up next yet I'm still contemplating swapping him out for someone like Maddison.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Selling for Rich most likely.

      2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Selling, but don't know who for yet. Its between Pogba, Maddy and Rich

      3. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Sold for Dilva last week. Many are doing it later.

      4. fattfattygavgav
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Keeping for now, he's been one of the sharpest players for City this season.

      5. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Thinking of selling for Pogba but when DSilva moved inside one of City’s best and threatening players. DSilva looks tired and I can see getting rested with City starting with with Aguero Sané Mahrez/Sterling up front with BSilva playing behind Aguero

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          * BSilva moved inside

    3. Bring Back Caldwell
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      1. Salah and C Wilson
      Or
      2. Mane and Lacazette
      ??

      1. fattfattygavgav
        • 7 Years

    4. el polako
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I hope the game week starts sooner, at this rate I will enter it with atleast -16 points.

      Salah to Fraser, Fraser to Hazard, Hazard to Pogba and now Pogba to Bernardo Silva... I mean c'mon....

    5. Mackans
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      What about Pogba as an FPL option?

      1. Ain't No Holebas Girl
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I like him personally, and being on pens is a massive bonus

        1. Ain't No Holebas Girl
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          (apart from the one he missed!)

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        So much better for less
