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.

    Welcome thoughts on my FH draft please guys?! Also, what’s the situ re: Higuain? Serious or back in time to play?

    Fabianski
    VVD - Azpi - Rice
    Salah(c) - Mane(vc) - Hazard - Maddison
    Vardy - Higuain* - Wilson

    Boruc - Digne - Ogbonna - Surman

      Could get Firmino for Hig and swap VVD to Luiz/Emerson??

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

      Is it crazy that I'd be tempted to go Salah, Hig for Firminho, Fraser?

    3. pressdpm

      5 years, 16 days ago

      Wait until the press conference to hear about Higuain. I don't think it'll be too serious.

      Think that's about as strong a FH team as you can get.

      Sarri: "He had a fever after the league match for two days. Yesterday in the evening with the doctor we decided to leave him at home in order to recover him for the next match."

      As far as I know the next match is Sunday. 😉

    Hey deadzoners. Appreciate some help here.
    Should I use me Free Hit with this team?
    Currently have 1FT. All other chips are intact.
    30 points ahead in my league, rival is using his Free Hit this week.

    Fabianski
    TAA - Robertson - Digne
    Salah - F.Anderson - Biling
    Higuain

    (Speroni - Kolasinac - Wan Bissaka - Pogba - Sterling - Jiminez - Rashford)

    1. i am jose mourinho
      • 5 Years

      Freehit mate.you have no other choice

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

        Can field 9 players. 10 with a -4.

        You could be right but I'm not sure if it's that clean cut.

        1. the dom 1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          10 should be plenty lad

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

      Defo not. FH in 32 so you can triple City, Chelsea and United when he can't. Pogba, Sterling, Rashford to Haz, Fraser, Vardy/Wilson imo. Hits will easy cover themselves and sets you up nicely for 33 also if you FH 32

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

        Like the look of those moves mate. You really reckon the -8 is worth it though?

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

          Why not? FH in 32 and I'd prefer Lukaku over Rash anyways tbh. - 8 is basically over 2 weeks so yh. Players you get rid of will score 0, Wilson and Haz for example will get that in 2 gws from appearances alone

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

            Yeah, makes sense. I'm hoping to not lose too many points and capitalise on him not having FH for the gameweek after.

            Sterling/Rash > Hazard/Wilson is a no brainer.

            Thing with Pogba though is I bought him at his cheapest. Always hate doing that!

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

      If you FH this week, you'll likely have the same problem in GW33. I reckon Luiz in for Kolasinac and fielding 9 players is enough. Team looks nicely set up for TC32 FH33 WC34 BB35.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      FH32, sell Sterling Pogba & Rashford for -8

  3. Mattymo23
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Aguero to Wilson for a -4 to complete my starting 11? Very worried Wilson will score heavily.

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

      Yup. If you are FH 32

  4. Sergeant Slaughter
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    I believe this is the week for Arnoutovic. This belief is based on no scientific evidence or research, nor is it founded on inside information. I just believe he will start and haul. Any other like minded believers?

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

      He's been good to me in the past. You reckon he'll definitely start?

      1. Sergeant Slaughter
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        I do. His punishment seems complete. He came on at half last week, which I think tips the gaffers thinking.

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

      Nah, he's not at it, head is someplace else.

      1. Sergeant Slaughter
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Therein lies the risk. Yes, his head has been elsewhere. Time to find out if he can get it screwed back on correctly. No better time than this week imo

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          There's also the issue of the niggly injuries he's had all season which were a problem even before he wanted the transfer. I'd love him in my team but it's too risky for me and I normally don't have a problem taking them.

    5 years, 16 days ago

    Anyone got a nice, simple diagram or something that sums up the upcoming DGW/BGW circumstances? I know Ben Crellin is the go-to guy but he almost has too much spreadsheets on the go, I never know which is the latest.

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years

      Would you like a Venn diagram and a Tree map?

    2. Hotdogs for Tea

    1. Hotdogs for Tea

      Very possibly

  7. Forza Papac

    • 8 Years

    Boruc or Fab?

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      For 31 and 33

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Boruc for the value

  8. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    How does the below look in order to get 10 out?

    Aguero, Rashford, Kamara and Bednarek to Vardy, Wilson, Barnes and Luiz -8

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Forgot to count Fab so that will actually get me a full 11.

      1. FCSB

        not fancy rondon?

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years

          Looking at players with guaranteed GW33, already have Hayden too.

          Not one bit

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

      Not keen on Barnes or Luiz tbh

      The midweek with games in Europe always slows things down, we had the post gameweek storm and are now in the calm of the ‘eye of the storm’ before getting battered again on Friday when the masses wake up to their 4 man teams for GW31 .... imho 🙂

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

        Between 70 and 90 if I had to pull a number out of my backside. He's on the back end of a fever and is being rested as his team's 3-0 up. I don't own him, but I expect him to play.

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

          Nice

    2. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Without a FH and trying to work things out. Have WC left, so really just weighing my decisions on GW31-33.

      Seems like a (-4) out for a player blanking in 31 & 33 means that its (-4) vs an extra game.

      I.e. Mane would get 3 games, Pogba would get 2 (+4)

      Obviously have 3FTs to burn so those have to be considered, but I’m starting to think I just need to go with 8ish for each blank GW, and that hits aren’t nearly as worthwhile to me as those with the FH?

      Any thoughts would be great, best rank ever and not trying to crumble too far.

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

        Sorry but inevitable you fall without FH imo. GL though. Think 8 in bgws is right way to go. I'd want atleast 1 City and Chelsea big hitter for 32 though

        1. That Was Easy!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Think Chelsea is probably key for me, as I’d be getting 2 extra games on my GW31+33 blankers.

          I know I’ll fall, but just going for damage limitation here.

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

        depending on WC use, you could have 9 or 10 for 33? A hit for a player with both gw's could get you a few extra points.

        I've already crumbled more than I should have. So....

        1. That Was Easy!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          WC34 BB35 is the plan, don’t think that changes without the FH

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Still pondering over which of Azpi/Luiz/Ake for a hit, it's a tough one.

      1. Party time
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Not worth it for a hit to me

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 16 days ago

            Whoever I get will also be playing 33, Bednarek is gonna be the only defender with a fixture who doesn't play 31, I kinda want the transfer that week for something else if it comes up.

        • Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          If for 2 gws then Ake

        • Pilgrim62
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          I will hit for Ake

        • I Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Azpi for me.

      2. Pilgrim62
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        People lost interest for Brooks? Any reason?

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

          Simple as Fraser outscored probably. Money not an issue for lots and Brooks likely to not play full 90

        2. HurriKane
          • 11 Years

          Minuites being managed

      3. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Is it crazy to captain Salah if you own Mane?

        Have a feeling salah is fed up by being outshone by mane in recent weeks and will bang in a hatty outta no where to come in to limelight again

          If that's the way you feel then no...

        2. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years

          I am captaining Mane. Will be foolish not to go with him in this form

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

        I've FH this week because I could only field 4... Does that mean I'll be in great shape for GW32 DGW? I know it's not that cut and dry just thinking out loud... After a wine or 7...

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

          have to recheck whether who is leftover there before you clicked FH here.

          If you have any cheap MAC and MAN would be worth it.

          • 8 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          You should be ok in 32 unless you have 3 Liverpool who play Spurs and don’t have a double

      5. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        So Salah still has no goals from open play away from home since December 20th

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years

          No better fixture than fulham to turn his fortunes around dont you think?

          His poor form wont last forever being a top player. Class is permanent

            • 5 Years
            5 years, 16 days ago

            It'll probably end up Fulham 1-0 Liverpool after we're all thinking deciding between Salah and Mane for captaincy will define the GW.

              Nah!

              would be a classic comedown after the away win at Bayern

                • 6 Years
                5 years, 16 days ago

                You could argue CL hangover, but it's Fulham so you can't.

                4-0 the Pool.

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

          Wilson (c) over Salah then

            o/

            Same here probably.

            Him or Robertson

          9 playing this week and 2 FT? Wouldn't take any hits to be honest.

          Certainly wouldn't drop Salah against Fulham. That's crazy.

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

            i am planning to ship Mane in.. but have to sacrifice one.
            Probably option A? drop Aguero + TAA?

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

            if no ship Mane in, would be easier.

            thanks. any reason Barnes over Wilson?

        2. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Pogba & Jimenez to Fraser & Wilson if you still have your FH for 32

      8. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Assuming no injury issues in the pressers today/tomorrow, it has to be Ings -> Wilson for my lot this week, right? Planning to FH32 and WC34.

        Fabianski
        TAA, Pereira, Chilwell
        Salah, Mane, Siggy, FAnderson
        Vardy, Higuain, Ings

        Steele, Doherty, Holebas, Camarasa

        1. Numbuster
          • 7 Years

          i would prefer Barnes than Wilson

        • 14 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Any mids worth an Anderson out hit when including FH32, WC34?

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

          i guess FH and WC would allow you to reset a new player in beside to hold GW31 MF.

          but if hold from 31 - 34 i guess Barnes would be worth to gamble him.

        2. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years

          No, only in 33 with a FT

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Yep, I'm considering Fraser, haven't made my mind up yet though.

          1. panda07

            What are your thoughts? Anderson has been terrible lately and got subbed at HT last week. It's looking like 2/3 potential points each GW for Anderson or the potential of more from someone else over 2 GW's. Who are you thinking of going for and it would be easier to answer the question?

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              5 years, 16 days ago

              Would be getting Mane. Not really worried about the 33 part, would want an instant gain. Scary time to sell vs Hudds at home but I expect changes vs Hudds at the very least.

                • 11 Years
                5 years, 16 days ago

                For Mane I'd defo do it. Anderson has showed no reason that he will do well in the last while. GL

          • 9 Years

          Do we expect Anderson not to start vs Fulham? He's my planned FT on 33.

          I’m just keeping and hoping the bugger starts. Him and Pereira worst buys this season lol. Can’t wait to sell on WC34 (well, and FH32)

        Hello dzers! Anything worth a hit? 10 players now and 4.5m itb.

        Quite wary of Wilson & Mane tbh

        Fab
        TAA, Robbo, Luiz, Pereira

          • 7 Years

          Hola.

          I too had Jimenez and lot of value tied up in him, but decided to sell for Wilson - feel free to yell at me if it fails, but he does have NEW BUR while Jim has blank blank..

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

            I have the same thought, but I think I may do it for free instead after GW32?

            But I don't know if I should do Jimenez to Wilson, or just replace Gunnarson for someone who plays in gw33

      11. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Did Sterling to Mane tonight for a -4. Is Camarasa to Fraser worth one more hit? FH32, WC34 🙂

        Fabianski (Boruc)
        Robertson Pereira // Doherty AWB Bednarek
        Salah Mane(c) Anderson // Pogba Camarasa
        Higuain Vardy Wilson

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

          If you currently have 9, i think it's worth it.

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

          Tough but I think so. Should give you the option to bench Bednarek in GW33, and worst case scenario is that you have a luxury transfer to spend that week

      12. JasonG123
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Which combo?
        (A) Hazard and TAA
        (B) Mane and Luiz +4

        1. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Has to be B with the form Mane is in. I have A but I would trade if I could

        Anyone watched the match can tell about Salah & Mane performance ??
        Did Salah looked dangerous at all??

        1. Moorinho
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Salah looked ok-ish. Mane looked great... And more importantly showed he can score away

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

            That's insightful 🙂

        2. Lav

          Mane class. Salah still struggling by his standards.

        Fabs
        Robbo, Luiz
        Salah, Mane, Brooks,
        Vardy, Rondon

        A) Son to Fraser for free(is there other enticing sub 10.4 that's not from LEI?)
        B) Son and Kola to Hazard and Diop for a hit?

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

          A
          Double WH defense is asking for trouble.
          Who are you © ??

          1. JustPark
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 16 days ago

            Leaning towards Mane. Don't have much option for sub 4.4 def that isn't from Huddersfield. Clyne maybe but he isn't nailed though is he?

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

              Nope.
              I have Clyne & I'm hopeful Smith stays unfit for weekend match to give me 11.
              I think you should not take a hit for defender other than pool personally.
              Mane/Salah will be the gw defining decision.
              I don't know why but I'm leaning towards Salah.
              Will see
              Cheers mate

                5 years, 16 days ago

                One eye on GW33 as well so that might balance out the hit(provided he'll play).

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

                  I would say keep tabs on Smith hammy injury. If out for a month get Clyne as Bournemouth are surprisingly good defense@ home

        2. Lav
          • 7 Years

          A

      16. jbenny1107
        • 9 Years

        Mane okay? Looked iffy after the game

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

          Probably fine.

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

        All chips available. Take a hit, or just move Son? Currently have 8 playing (9 if Crouch sees minutes)
        1 FT 0.3m ITB

        Boruc / Etheridge*
        Robbo / TAA / Rice / Schar* / AWB*
        Salah / Eden / Felipe / Son* / Pogba*
        Vardy / Jimenez* / Crouch

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

          Son + Crouch/Jimenez >> Fraser + Wilson/Barnes ??

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

            That worth a -4 to you?

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

              Yes

                • 7 Years
                5 years, 16 days ago

                Would probably go Barnes then. Unsure on dropping Jimenez despite blank to be honest,.
