Scoutcast Episode 288 – Missing

Undaunted by a heavily reduced fixture list, the Scoutcast crew deliver one of their longest episodes of the season.

There may be only five matches taking place in Gameweek 31 but Joe, Luke, Az and David discover there is a wealth of different player options and strategies to deploy.

Discarding their usual player, team and talking point format for the community questions section, they focus in detail on the best assets to own position by position this weekend. 

While there is a consensus around goalkeepers, our Scoutcast regulars find plenty to disagree about among defenders, midfielders and strikers.

Luke is packing his team with differential ‘swords’ to attack the fixtures, while David is making sure he uses his two free transfers to include some ‘shields’ to keep up with the pack. 

Az is on the search for low-owned assets too and is even considering a notorious Scoutcast ‘magic bean’. Unsurprisingly, Joe is not keen.

The number of hits to take in a Blank Gameweek also get an airing, as does advice for those deploying a Free Hit chip to cope with player reduction. 

Regular features are also included, with the round-up of the previous Gameweek giving Az a rare chance this season to boast about a good score.

Best differentials, top clean sheet shouts and transfer and captaincy plans for the Gameweek ahead are also revealed.

    Messi has now scored 35 or more goals in a season for 11 seasons in a row.

    1. Peter Ouch

      11 seasons wonder

    2. pjomara
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      I'm trying to think (unsuccessfully) of someone in English football who has even scored 10 or more goals in 11 successive seasons???

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        kane will do that

      2. Peter Ouch

        5 years, 16 days ago

        Don't compare Messi and CR with anyone. Pure class.

        1. pjomara
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Jimmy Greaves is the only one who can come anywhere near to their stats.

        Rooney

        1. pjomara
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Good shout, Rooney hit double figures 12 seasons in a row at Man U. One season getting 14 stops him from 12 seasons of 15+.

          Lampard managed double figures 10 seasons in a row.

            • 5 Years
            5 years, 16 days ago

            Shearer was also prolific however he had 2 slips over 17 years

          2. DeathoftheParty
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 16 days ago

            Lampard stat is impressive for a mid... 35 a year though... Even in Spain... Is simply untouchable.

      4. fantasyxprt11
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Frank Lampard

      5. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Not sure I buy into this comparison to be honest. 11 seasons in a row needs a lot of luck with injuries and the premier league is way way more physical than La Liga.

        1. pjomara
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          There's some right butchers in Spain though most if them out for his blood. Lampard averaged 35 pl games over one spell of 9 seasons .

      6. JT11fc
        • 5 Years

        Super franky lampard

        1. DeathoftheParty
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Possibly one of the most underrated footballers. Always preferred him to Gerrard.

    3. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      he's scored 50 or more goals 5 times!!!!

  2. Peter Ouch

    C'mon pipita it's not that cold in London mate, take off this yellow flag

    1. Surfeit of Lampteys

      'pipita'

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Will he play? Currently have him on a FH...

  3. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Is there a table to compare teams defences?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      1 Members
      2 Team stats
      3 Defending

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Thanks

  4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    This is probably how my team will look like after making transfers.

    Lössl (Speroni)
    Robbo TAA Tarkowski Lascelles (Bednarek)
    Salah Hazard Fraser Barnes (Pogba)
    Wilson Barnes (Jimenez)

    10.5m ITB. Any hits worth considering?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Speroni to Boruc or Lascelles to Luiz?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Lössl to Boruc I'm not sure it's worth a hit. Been considering Lascelles to Luiz/Azpi.

    2. semiconductor
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      I am not keen on Hazard at all personally. Are you?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        He's a good pick for the blanks, no doubt

  5. semiconductor
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Who to lose till end of the season probably
    1. Doherty
    2. WB
    3. Bendarek

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Number 3 so he doesn’t get offended by the spelling

      1. semiconductor
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        I'm sure he will let it go

  6. hawkeyes
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Help please. Using my FH and don't know who to pick as staring 11. Currently on:

    Fabianski
    Alexander-Arnold Digne David Luiz
    Hazard Salah(c) Fraser Mané Lanzini
    Vardy Wilson

    SUB: Hamer Rondón Aké Rice

    I'm doubtful about starting Lanzini over Rondon (Just have a feeling that Lanzini will do better)
    Also since the bench might not be used, is there anyone in my starting 11 who needs to be upgraded.

    1. Ojpsan1
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      I'd ditch digne for rice or ake

      1. hawkeyes
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Thanks,

        Would you then downgrade Digne and use the money to change any of the starting 11?

        1. Ojpsan1
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Nope looks good otherwise

    2. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Looks a nice team but you do know the F/Hitters in Gw32 are going to hurt anyone who hasn't a FH for that week.

      1. hawkeyes
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        But GW 32 only has United and Wolves with DGW...and I have that covered. Or am I missing something?

        I also still have my WC available

        1. Shineonme
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          If man city beat Swansea the weekend in the cup man city will probably have a dgw in gw 32 also against Cardiff & Fulham

          1. hawkeyes
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 16 days ago

            Oopppsss,

            Okay I didn't know that and unfortunately can't cancel my FH.......might need to take a hit in GW32 or use my WC

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Ake over Digne for sure

    4. Yoshimiwinz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Lanzini? I'd go Almiron.

    5. FPL Laurenzo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Other than Digne, consider comparing Lanzini vs one of Barnes, Higuain or Arni up top. Having the same debate myself. Rest looks great.

      1. hawkeyes
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Thanks everyone 🙂

  7. Ojpsan1
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    A) Mane + azpi/Luiz + Rice + wilson

    B) Mane + Clyne + Diop + Vardy

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      A with Clyne over Rice?

      1. Ojpsan1
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Just that I would like westham cover against lowest scoring team in the league. Only 8 away goals this season.

  8. tbhogal
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    FH or not guys? ML leader 47 points ahead has played his one. Have 7 BGW players and 1FT..

    FAB (Hamer)
    ROBBO, TAA, DIGNE (Bennett, awb).
    Pogba, Son, SALAH, ANDERSON (Hojberg).
    RONDON, Aguero, Jimenez

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Defo not. Save FH for 32 and take 2 or 3 hits to field 10/11. Pogba, Son, Jimenez, Aguero to Haz, Fraser, Vardy, Wilson imo.

      1. tbhogal
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        thanks mate, that's so helpful.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Complete waste of FH. It's not an attractive set of games and you're better off taking hit or 2 than FH to cover 3 spots

      1. tbhogal
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        cheers Kiwivillan

  9. Peter Ouch

    TC Salah and already praying

    1. Coaly

      RIP

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Hmm not so sure

  10. Yoshioka
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Rashford >> Wilson worth a -8 to field a full 11, or is that overkill?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Definately. Think about the it

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      If FH 32 you getting Wilson vs Newcastle and Burney at home for -4. Do it

    3. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Rash with play in 31 and 33
      Wilson will have to home games he will score more points than 4 points

  11. BigBillyBass
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    I would honestly rather captain Origi than Salah this weekend

    1. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      too far

  12. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    31 and 33:

    A) VVD Ake
    B) VVD Maddison
    C) Clyne Mane (-4)

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Lol, what are these choices.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        2 final players to complete my 31 and 33 team? Don't see whats hard to understand

        1. fedolefan
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Maybe look harder.

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 16 days ago

            ?? Explain. If you mean by players in dif positions then its called changing formation

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      B seems the most obvious to me

    3. FPL Laurenzo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      B

  13. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Sterling, Doherty ->. Hazard, Luiz (-4)

    Then I will have 11

  14. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    I currently have 3 utd and 2 city in my team. By 32 i could have 3 city.

    Is it worth me using my FH in 32?

    Could TC a city player.

    1. Tsparkes10

      What's full team? What you doing for this week

          1. Weasel Boy

    Salah’s mask has finally fully slipped to reveal the joke donkey player that he really is

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Almost scored a nice goal but great tackle stopped him. Also got a lovely assist :).

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Could have teed up Mane yet again but selfishly held on and fluffed it. No confidence. Awful decision making. Donkey.

    2. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      He’s a fraud mate. An incredibly expensive fraud

        • 14 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Underlying stats - and all that 😀
        To me there are two types of players in fpl -

        1) the player who needs lots of shots to score - but has lots of touches in the box - has wild shots when he is in front of goal - that player is Salah

        2) A player who needs few chances rarely touches the ball but when he does it is a goal/assist - that player is Vardy.

        I know which I prefer.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      I wouldn't call him a donkey, but I think he is a one trick pony.
      Very dependant on his pace, not very accurate with his shots, has a tendenacy to run into traffic.

      In saying that though, He is still on pens and could do well against Fuham because they are so poor

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Defo no confidence at mo.
      The chances he has missed over his last 6 or 7 games, he would have finished no problem last season.

  16. Olee
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Whats better?
    A: Kamara, Jota, Doherty (-8) -> Wilson, Brooks, Diop/Rice (field 11)
    B: Kamara, Jota (-4) -> Wilson, McNeil/Westwood (field 10)

  17. Kabayan
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    A. TAA + Fraser + 4
    Or
    B. Luiz + Mane

    Have Salah and Robbo, FH32

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Considered the change myself but holding onto my same Triple pool and no Mane. Would hurt so much if either defender hauled

  18. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Non-salah owner- but have Mane- VVD-Robertson.
    I could not help thinking when watching the CL Bayern win - 'oh no they have scored a week too early.'
    I

    1. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      You don’t own Salah. You will have a great week

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        I did in the last two gameweeks.
        Hopefully he won't sting me again like during last Christmas with a massive score.
        I think there is a 'cult of salah' that has developed in a lot of the fpl community and they are afraid to look elsewhere.
        To me that is a great chance to take advantage of that and try to rise up the rankings.

  19. BigBillyBass
    • 5 Years

    I wonder how many banjos Mo Salah’s broken recently trying to hit his barn door

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Does he play 'Walk like an Egyptian' on it?

  20. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Looking at player price rise/fall websites strong evidence that fpl managers selling Salah and buying Mané in big numbers

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Don't have salah - but that is a mad move unless they really require the cash for other players.

  21. the dom 1

    Do in light of CL result. Would you do Pogba > Mane for a -4?

    Got 0.4 value tied up in Pogba. Using FH32.

      Think I was really waiting to make sure mane didn’t get injured but it was on the cards. Playing 10 fir GW31 now.

  22. Tsparkes10

    5 years, 16 days ago

    Salah to Mane extremely tempting. ML Rival has Mane and no Salah. He also has no Freehit and only 7 for GW 31.

    FH32 and WC34, already have Salah and Robbo
    A) Son >> Hazard
    B) Son >> Mane

    Hazard carries Chelsea, no other coverage, BPS magnet, definitely won't be rested/recovering from midweek
    vs
    Mane in form, LIV better team, Fulham allergic to defending

    Thoughts?

    Is anyone worried of Klopp rotating players for the fulham game to give them a rest after the European exploits?
    If I was Klopp I would rest players.

      Lol. Yes,he will rest cause he have 20 points more than City.

      Not a chance. Irrelevant international break coming up, he’ll be on the phone to national managers telling them to go easy but he’s not gonna let them take their foot off the gas. Fulham could get battered

        Oh yeah completely forgot about the Internationals - tight hamstrings will appear beforehand.
        No rests needed at Fulham so.

    Ok fellas i have 2 FT and 0.8 ITB so tell me which 3 transfers to do here.

    Arnie

    Ederson

    Sterling-Guendozi-Pogba
    Jimenez-Rash

    Sterling,Rash and Guendozi OUT
    Mane,Wilson,Maddison IN

    Any better sugestion????

      Good moves

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Maybe Fraser instead Maddy but i will bring Wilson anyway and have good feeling about Maddison. He could be great diferential

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Doh to Luiz aswell imo

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Dont want to use hit for defender.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Why? Doh doesn't play so he gets 0. Luiz plays in both. Appearances alone will get you the 4 points back never mind a cleansheet or goal etc

          1. Niho992
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 16 days ago

            I fancy to use hit for mid/att and keeping Doherty for DGW 32 (bought for 4.4) and that will help me with FH.

            1. Tsparkes10
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 16 days ago

              You can hit more than once. I'd personally want to play 10 or 11 for 31 and 33. Not bothered about hits to do so as players will cover the hit over 2 gws easily

              1. Niho992
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 16 days ago

                Thx but no thx. I will have 9 players now and probably 10-11 in GW 33 with just one hit. Dont expect points from Che defenders. I have good OR and 100+ points more than 2th in my ML so i dont have to take risk.

                1. Tsparkes10
                  • 5 Years

                  Fair enough. GL mate

                    Thx mate. GL to you too.

    Hit for Salah to Mane is tempting. I have up on my ML Rival these next 3 weeks as he has no FH so will have to chop and change or will not be able to capitalise on dgw32. Only problem is if he capts Mane and I don't then that could lessen my upper hand if makes sense?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Its stupid to use hit to change one player from same team for another.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Maybe but I'd be doing it to match my Rival. And on form it's quite sensible... Idk 🙁

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      You’re hitting out the player who will have the highest EO of any player this season and who still continues to have the better underlying stats of the two? Wow..

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        This.

      2. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Truee just fear I guess and less risky

      3. Nailed Jesus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        1.EO works both ways surely? If Mane hauls & Salah blanks, you shoot up the ranks.
        2.Which underlying stats? For the last 6 game weeks Mane leads on both xA, xG and actual goals.

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Check again.. Salah the better xA, more than double the touches in the box and shots in the box. Mane is over-performing his stats and will inevitably regress

          1. Nailed Jesus
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 16 days ago

            Okay..so Salah has slightly better xA, but Mane's xG (and actual goal) dwarfs Salah's. Mane has more attempts in the box and many more big chances, despite having less touches in the box. All evidence pointing to Mane being the goal scorer and Salah the provider, goals=5pts, assist=3pts. Mane scored in 6 of his last 8 PL matches, and after watching him tonight you think his form is going to regress?

            1. IRBOX ⚽
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 16 days ago

              After watching tonight, I think he may be injured 😉

    3. FPL Laurenzo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Might be more tempting to double up the LP defense rather than hitting out Salah for Mane. Surely a clean sheet for pool this weekend.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Have TAA, Salah and VVd

      Dude, it’s a blank game week ... you need both 🙂

    Arnie or Wilson?

    Rest of the team:
    Fab
    Robbo Luiz Pereira
    Salah Hazard Mane Anderson
    King Rondon

    (Jimenez Doherty Pogba AWB)

    1. FPL Laurenzo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Wilson. I'm trying to avoid that sinking feeling when West Ham twitter announces the starting lineup and Arnie is on the bench.

      1. yakirh
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        He could be an amazing differntial
        I saw some predicted lineups with him starting

        1. FPL Laurenzo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Oh I agree. If he starts and plays, he could run riot. He certainly has something to prove as someone on this board already pointed out.

  28. C-Dawgg
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    I'm so confused, why are people talking about taking hits this game week and free hitting next gameweek? Are we expecting more doubles to be announced for next week?

  29. WE GO FOR IT

    || Foster | Patricio
    Robertson | Digne | Pereira || AWB | Kelly
    Hazard | Felipe | Salah(c) || Sterling | Camarasa
    Arnie* | Rondon | King

    Can field 9 currently. Arnies starred as he is not nailed on to start.
    1FT and 0.1 itb
    Players with no fixtures in 31: Foster; Patricio; AWB; Kelly; Sterling; Camarasa

    A. Arnie to Wilson. 9 players
    B. Sell one of the 5 players and get 10.
    C. Sell two and get 10/11 players.
    D. Save. Get Kun in GW32 and TC him/Sterling.

    After skimming throug the past few pages I've come to the conclusion that this place is bonkers!
    Whilst I'm one of the biggest Salahless advocates on here, taking him out for FUL and some contemplating a hit for this is lunacy. Ripping up your team with -8s and -12s to fit in Mane over LIV defender is also crazy imo.
    Mane Madness!!

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Just fear for myself personally. If Mane hauls then gap between myself and ML Rival gets even bigger

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        can understand the fear with Mane's recent form but it could just as easily be Salah hauling v FUL

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Very true. High risk high reward either way tbh. Probs just keep, want to make it more interesting
