Scoutcast Episode 281 – Buzzing

Harry Kane’s ankle injury, which is set to keep him out of action until March, tops the bill during an action-packed show that bizarrely also takes in James Bond and Toy Story.

After taking great pleasure in looking back on their excellent Gameweek 22 scores, the Scoutcast crew tuck into the key questions from the community ahead of the next set of matches.

Kane’s absence sees David, Joe, Az and Luke discuss the best forward options, with Manchester United’s talismanic striker topping their lists. Moving money into midfield is also considered as the crew look at Dele Alli’s Buzz Lightyear-esque ability to step up whenever his Spurs’ team-mate is absent.

Whether to ditch disappointing players from the ranks of Chelsea, Everton and West Ham is another issue tackled.

Meanwhile, there are some words of warning for those looking to deploy their second wildcard now rather than save it to help navigate the double and blank Gameweeks to come.

Elsewhere, Az’s round-up of the community’s recent moves showcases a high-flying manager with a licence to thrill in the overall rankings.

The crew finish off with a look at their transfer and captaincy plans as well as the best differentials and defences in Gameweek 23.

      FPL statistics has been inaccurate for a while. Cheers!

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha

        Yeah, it's getting a bit comical

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          It was never exact, nor was Fiso in it's pomp.
          Inaccurate - of course.
          Comical - come on, bit harsh.

          1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Alright, alright, just seems more inaccurate this year than years past.

            1. Gnu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Maybe so, never treated as gospel but like most other folk it's caught me out when I least expect it...or want it and that always a pain.

        2. DAZZ

          Wildcards. A lot will have Wildcarded this week due to injuries IMO.

        Show me a better site...

          Hint, hint

        2. Ragabolly
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I think actually fix has been doing a better job factoring in wildcards etc in the past month or so. They require you to give them your fpl login details though which is both unfair and wrong.

          1. G-Whizz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Even if you think FFF doing a better job in factoring WCs, their accuracy in comparison with FPLStatistics is shockingly bad, both for rises and falls imho...

            1. Ragabolly
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              agreed

                While I've got you here, thanks for your site too, I like the improvements with regards to the way it looks and the little additions you've added along the way since it's inception.

                Great stuff, and thanks for making my FPL life easier 🙂

                  Thanks mate! appreciate the support, and congrats on the massive green arrow last week!

                    Thanks! It was well needed!!! I'm not the only one making moves though. Someone's done quite well over the last 5 GWs... 😉

            "... They require you to give them your fpl login details though which is both unfair and wrong...". And, I would suggest, one exploit away from disaster ...

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

            Hey, just wanted to ask : if you can calculate exact live ranks with your site and possibly a non-professional servee(?), why does it take hour for the official fpl to update league ranks. Forget league ranks, they even need half an hour to update the game at the start of every gameweek.

            Is it because their servers are old, or just not good enough optimizer code?

            5 years, 3 months ago

            Actually they don’t. Their home page no longer offers the option, but if you google “FFFix login by FPL ID” you get to a page where you can log in with separate username and password and the only FPL info you give is your ID number. I don’t know if you can set up new login details as I have been doing this since it was offered as an option on their home page.

        5 years, 3 months ago

        FPL Stats have been great this season, pre the 2nd Wildcard becoming available. Accuracy has been as good as I can remember excluding the last 2-3 GWs.
        FFFix are dreadful at predicting thresholds, only ever use them for rate of transfers per hour to give an idea of just how fast the market direction is flowing.

    5. jia you
      • 7 Years

      no surprise, a couple of million of us on wildcards 😉

      Don't get why people confirm wildcard until Saturday morning. Counter productive if you want rises/falls to happen. Yeah I know the risk of forgetting, but hell, if you are on this site, then surely you aren't going to forget.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I would never do that, it's not worth the 'risk' at all

    16. Alpharius

      Forget about the price tag??

      So now we near the business end of the season how are people planning on making use of any extra funds they have over ML rivals?

      I currently have a TV of 106.3m (SV of 104m) and my two main rivals are 2.5m & 4m behind me, but 40pts & 74pts ahead of me. We all have Salah, and similar defenders and my money seems to allow me to keep both Auba/Hazard over mid price options, but as I’m captaining Salah each week it doesn’t feel like the extra money is doing much (except enabling a future pricey team on free hit).

      How are the rest of you with good TV/SVs leveraging the extra money?

  4. barton fc

    patricio (hamer)
    robbo doherty Bednarek (kolo, AWB)
    salah hazard pogba richarlison (brooks)
    aubba rashford jimenez

    is the bench right and is this gtg ?

    1. Alpharius
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      You may as well play Kola. Is it likely Southampton keep a cleanie against Everton, and/or Bednarek gets an attacking return?

      Arsenal/Chelsea could be 0-0, there was a 0-0 last year, and if not at least Kola has attacking threat. Plus Bednarek loves a yellow card.

    Current front 7 of

    Richarlison Hazard Salah F.Anderson Brooks
    Kane Rashford Kamara

    Who to bring in for Kane is the dilemma? Also I want to use the cash left over to upgrade Brooks to play 352. I have two free transfers also. Thoughts please lads???

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    So my wildcard consists of 8 major changes and a couple of minor bench ones. Chances of my old team killing my WC team?

    WC team v Old team

    Alisson v Fabianski
    Robertson v Alonso
    Shaw v Pereira
    VVD V AWB
    Alli v Felipe
    Eriksen v Camarasa
    Sterling v Sane
    Rashford v Kane (Jimenez)

        Cheers mate, looks it on paper but who knows eh!

    3. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      You seem to have cherry-picked the match-ups to favour the new team - who's Aubameyang up against? 😉

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        haha, great minds think alike, see below!

      2. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        been swapping Auba/Eriksen/Sane constantly!

        1. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Haha, that's what wildcards are for - as long as you don't lose 0.1 in the process like I did with Fabianski 😀

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I did it with Jimenez actually...in one of my drafts I put him back in then realised I lost a heap of cash getting rid initially!

            1. Pierce34
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Well now you have to get rid of him for good. Will save me my weekly moan about how I spend an extra 4m on Lacazette only for him to be outscored by Jimenez.

              (the moan will soon be about Lacazette being outscored by Rondon...)

              1. jia you
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Haha, are you sticking with Laca?

                1. Pierce34
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  Not so much sticking - more like I'm stuck with him 😀

                  Since Kane got injured I transferred him out instead of Lacazette so now I'm not making any more transfers. And then of course Arsenal have Cardiff at home so I'll think "I might as well keep one more week". And after that I'll be thinking that it's worth keeping for the blank...

                  1. jia you
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 3 months ago

                    hear that haha, you werent at all tempted to wildcard?

                    1. Pierce34
                      • 8 Years
                      5 years, 3 months ago

                      Not at all - I don't see any serious issues with my team. I don't want to play Kolasinac this week but that's hardly wildcard-worthy.

                      1. jia you
                        • 7 Years
                        5 years, 3 months ago

                        one of the reason that I did it was that I'm stuck at work with nothing to do Wed-Fri this week haha, could really come back to bite me but will enjoy the challenge of navigating the blanks and doubles without the wc and bb chips. And Salahless to boot...top 10k will be a miracle!

                      2. Pierce34
                        • 8 Years
                        5 years, 3 months ago

                        You nailed it there - since there's no BB chip for you it makes less sense to save the WC. You only have the TC chip to play and you don't need to wildcard for that.

                        Basically you'll be hoping that the DGWs end up like last year's, whereas I'll be hoping that they're like the year before.

    4. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Whoops, wish it was that good...should be Eriksen v Auba!

    5. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen and alli is an interesting one

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        interesting and punty, hoping they will both step up in Kane's absence!

      Why dont you have Kane and TAA?

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Plenty holding TAA i’d imagine.

          you're a star

    5. Arctic monkeys

      Yeah a player like Wan Bissaka

      if you're ever going to take a hit, this week is the week

  9. Tsparkes10

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Dzers?

    Fab
    Digne Doh Shaw Anderson Rich Sane Salah Pererya
    Rash Aubam
    (Button, Jimi, Alonso, AWB)

    Bench correct or would you play Jimi over someone? :/ not too worried about Alonso as none in my ML own him... Jiminez however is different, feel he may blank and Pererya is a differential... difficult one

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Going with 8 atb, could be an interesting differential!

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Whoops... serious thoughts though?

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I'd play Jimenez this week if I still owned him

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Over Pererya?

            1. jia you
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              I'd favour him slightly over both him and Rich but not a lot in it tbf! No way I'd bench Alonso either but can understand it!

              1. Tsparkes10
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Yup. Difficult... cheers

                • 9 Years

                Alonso biggest score this season was vs Arsenal

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Odds on Rich 4th blank in a row?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        V high but had bigger problems and his next 2 fixtures are enough reasons to keep I guess for now. He got one cleared off line by about 5cms last game

  10. ZAWAd25
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    TAA + Paterson + Kane >>> VVD + Pogba + Rashford for (-8) ??

    1. Tsparkes10

      Noicee

    Be great if you could edit your own posts on here after posting?

      Indeed

      It used be that way before but they got rid of it probably because it was abused.

      I would like to be able to fix my frequent typos and would like to see the feature come back and maybe if people were abusing it they could have their editing rights stripped or something.

      1. Where has all the rum gone?
        • 5 Years

        Edit once will suffice.

        Don't think there was ever an edit function.

          Are you sure I thought their was something like that when I first came here or it might have been tried at some stage?

            Nah, downvote was about it.

              I must be getting mixed with some other place so.

      Can of worms, just flag and it can be removed.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        guess there are a lot of cons to it also

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah you could see how it could cause problems but maybe it could work if done the right way.

          I like the suggestion above of only one edit.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years

            Hazard goal then edit?

            1. jia you
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              would make life tough for the mods I guess, on matchdays in particular when it's crazy with random upset and/or crazy posters lol

            2. Ógie
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Maybe only have 3/5 edits a day and if anyone took the piss have the right removed or only to give it to people that have been around a few years and have an idea of the site etitic.

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                5 years, 3 months ago

                The majority don't care about spelling. Next you could limit daily posts. In a way mods have that option by removing. Even 1 a day can cause trouble.

                  I understand.it would probably be a nightmare for ye lot.

          2. jia you
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            That would be great, all the times that I've posted with typos or a silly error that can be amended very easily with one quick edit!

              I live in daily fear of the grammar police on here they are always ready to pounce.

    Players I don't have and fear:

    A. Hazard
    B. Sterling
    C. Pogba
    D. Aguero/Jesus

    This list is usually a lot longer

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      thats pretty scary... but you have Salah!!

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years

      my list is sligtly longer;
      A. Salah
      B. Salah
      C. Salah
      D. Salah
      E. Salah

    3. Pierce34

      Pretty much everyone from City for me.

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I've got hazard,Salah,Auba,pogba.
      Not thinking about City atm. They are very unpredictable in terms of scoring & points sharing as well as starting. Will get Sterling if gets into form

      So I don't have a single player on Sunday 😀
      Saturday night football & end of gw for me.

      1. Pierce34

      This week its mainly sterling/Aguero for me

  17. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking Pep probably gives Aguero Huddersfield game to keep him motivated. Wouldn't be worst gamble for Kane?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Then the next game?

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Auba 😆

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Rather give kun next 3 fully as city will smash arsenal

    2. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Honestly I think Rashford is a better option than Aguero right now, with Jesus bang in form. I’d use the money for a City midfielder if you really want one, you can’t even be sure Pep will give Aguero the Huddersfield game, Jesus has 7 in 3 games, against similar poor opposition to Huddersfield

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Already have Rash and Jimi

    3. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I've done it... Also wondering if Lukaku's gonna get a game for Utd sooner or later. Now the question is do I fully commit to the differential and captain him, or just keep in on Salah...

      1. Alpharius
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        If I were Chelsea I’d be going all in to sign Lukaku. Man U would probably take there money back on him, and he and hazard link up well for Belgium. Higuian is old/out of shape/and unproven in the prem

    4. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      still slightly consider both him and Sterling on WC for the next two!
      A. Eriksen + Rondon(bench)
      B. Aguero + Hojberg(bench) + non-playing third forward

    5. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I will sign a City player if he gets into massive form or another injury situation.
      Couldn't afford supposed heavy hitters to troll.

      1. Kiwivillan

    Other than TAA (Already -4)....GTG?

    Fab
    Digne Doherty Kiko

    which is best striker to bring in for Kane?--Aguero or Firmino? have Auba, but was planning to transfer him out given Arsenal's tough fixtures; I already have Rashford

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

      Firmino?

    2. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I’d avoid Kun because of Jesus form. Why not bring in a cheap 3rd and upgrade a midfielder?

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

        Probably -4 pts

    1. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      sterling

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie

    Planned transfers for gw 27:

    1. Auba
    2. Pereira

    Anyone else worth taking a look?

      Some of the smaller clubs could provide interesting budget options such as :

      Anderson, Rondon, Locadia

    2. Kiwivillan

      Auba gw26 too maybe for me.Digne to Pereira 27

    Right, my draft team isnt great - not a lot to choose from anymore.

    Ive kept hold of Morata and Ozil - plus Arnie and Sanchez.

    Shall I do;
    A. Ozil > Iwobi
    B. Morata > Chicarito
    C. Arnie > Llorente

    Any of these look good?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A

    have Auba and Rashford; who to bring in for 3rd spot--Firmino or Jimenez? or another player?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Depends what you'll do with the money, jimenez a popular option, personally not on this whole firmino wagon

    Gave the Kun/Auba hokey cokey some thought on WC but think it could prove very frustrating! Best to load up the midfield and defence me thinks!!

      This kind of thing is bound to catch up with you - you basically need everything else to go perfectly, otherwise it'll inevitably lead to a hit if someone else gets injured/suspended etc. (see my Lacazette situation!)

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Kun unil 27 then swap to Auba does appeal to me though as an alternative to double Spurs mids! If I knew Kun would be back firing it would be a no-brainer haha

    2. Holmes

      Try a 4-4-2 draft, likely to get better balance team with not much compromise, especially with your high TV...

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        you mean get both Kun + Auba? Could have done that without WC by swapping Kane to Kun...far too stubborn to swallow my pride and revert back to that!

      It's not hokeycokey.Its a swap.Hokeycokey is u get get kun on wc get auba back and again get kun y would u do that?

          Haha loll.So what's the problem with that then ha

  30. Skhstanley

    A. TAA -> Shaw for a -4
    B. Kane -> Auba for a -4

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No to both

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Who do you have to play otherwise?

      1. Skhstanley
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Have to play with A 352 formation if neither changes
        Fab
        Digne / Trippier / Doherty
        Pogba Salah(C) Fraser Pereyra & Richa
        Rashford Kamara

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Kamara doesn't play so that's out. Who's other defender?
