Scoutcast Episode 300 – Spartans

After around a decade of shows the Scoutcast has reached the momentous 300 episode mark.

From its origins, when Mark and Granville used to find time to podcast during their lunch break at work, to the live stream video version of today, the Scoutcast has long been a staple part of Fantasy manager’s lives.

But while the cast and technology has changed the issues remain the same.

One of these recurring themes has been the arguments that greet any cast member’s decision to Wildcard. This week’s show, ahead of Gameweek 5, is no different.

Knowing full well what may happen Joe tentatively presents his team overhaul to co-hosts Az and Neale. In Scoutcast tradition he then has defend his decisions, like one of the 300 Spartans who famously took on an army more than 2,000 years ago.

Elsewhere, the crew take a look back at some of the many mistakes and small successes of Gameweek 4 and how they plan to turn their fortunes around this coming weekend.

Kevin De Bruyne’s captaincy credentials, the best clean sheet prospects and Arsenal’s fixtures are among issues on the bill.

The crew also reveal what factors they use when making decisions, which covers everything from the growth of expected stats to the eye and even ‘ear test’.

Meanwhile, Neale’s differential shout for September and October ensures the arguments continue.

This episode wraps up with a tribute to an unlikely Scoutcast star over the years and details of how to help the charity that originally looked after him.

    I have been doing some research on expected goals and expected goals against for different teams. Very interesting viewing and I would love to hear some of your thoughts.

    Pretty standard for expected goals, Man City are by far top and West Ham, Liverpool and Chelsea fill the top 4.

    However, more interesting is the expected goals against, with top meaning they have the least expected goals against:
    1) Man U (by a long way, actually, were expected only 2.85 GA, but have conceded 4 and been unlucky to not get more clean sheets)
    2) Leicester
    3) Wolves
    4) Burnley
    and then it is City and Liverpool.

    What are people's thoughts on this? Any of those top 4 GA looking a good choice now in defence? Everybody had ruled united defenders out...

      Thanks for this, I think it's an eye test thing. I don't like the look of Utd at the minute but good to know that there's reason to hold onto AWB

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Depends where you want to spend the money - united defenders are 5.5+ with little attacking return potential. AWB is the only viable one really as he should get a lot of baps if they keep a clean sheet.

      1. FantasyFootballFanatic
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Very good point. People like Pope, Pieters, Chilwell, Soyuncu etc. look nice now, though!

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      at this point in the season its better looking at shots conceded (+ from where?) and chances created. one tap in either way can skew xg massively with only a few weeks worth of data.

      there is some correlation though anyway and its one reason ive been advising keeping mufc def (even though i have none) and monitoring emerson

    4. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      The United Palace game has skewed things a bit imo. Palace specialise in against the odds wins away from home with consistently bizarre XG and XGC. That said it’s still a really small sample size.

  2. TheDragon

    4 years, 6 months ago

    How bad is my team looking?

    1 FT & Wildcard available but thinking of rolling FT provided AWB, Martial & Robinson are fit.

    Ryan (Button)
    Digne, AWB, VVD Lundstram (Söyüncü)
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Martial, Robinson
    Jota (Pukki, Greenwood)

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty bad given Martial is not a definite starter. Don't like Jota atm either.

      1. Jonesfromthere
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Martial due to injury**

      2. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I’m too committed to Jota now - surely he has to come good.

        If just martial is out he is an easy 1 FT to Mount

      3. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Martial starts when he’s fit

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      looks good to me mate

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        im having to start soy and pukki :/

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          The way my season has started I fully expect them to both score 10+ points each on my bench.

          I benched Robinson last week 🙁

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not bad imo

      Jota could (finally) prove his worth this week - really like he look of that fixture.

      Think I’d play Pukki over AWB.

      (Fellow Martial AWB owner who kept Jota in his week 2 WC!!!)

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks 🙂

        Jota simply has to come good at some point so hard to sell now.

        AWB is frustrating me massively

        Hopefully we have a good week!

    4. Babit1967
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Jota last chance saloon for me this week, hope he comes good

  3. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    (Bottomed)

    Thoughts on this WC draft? Can just afford with 0 ITB

    Pope, (Button)
    Digne, Maitland-N, Otamendi, (Kelly, Lundstrum)
    Sterling, KDB, Salah, Cantwell, Wilson
    Tammy, Haller, Barnes

    Current team:

    Pope, (Button)
    VVD, Robertson, Lundstram, (Kelly, KWP)
    Salah, Sterling, David Silva, Mount, Fraser
    Haller, Pukki, (Greenwood)

    Go for the WC or hold? Pulling my hair out on this one lads.....

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      It is a lot better than your current team, but your current team isn't even bad. Don't think it's worth it.

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Why getting rid of Pukki? Because he blanked 1 game? Same for Mount?

      I wouldn’t Wildcard - but I would move David Silva on

    3. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No reason for wc mate

  4. BlzE_94
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Captain Sterling or Mane?

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Raz

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling

  5. Thomas M.
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Need help fellas... Currently have
    1FT and 1ITB
    My concern is Cantwell / Donker
    Pukki / Rash / Greenwood.

    Rash to who?
    1. Abraham
    2. Haller
    3. Barnes

    Worth taking a hit to then upgrade the third attacker or one of the mids?

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      haller

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Haller but it’s a rash move imo

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      id just keep him

  6. Trippier Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Play Pukki or Lundstram this GW?

    1. MrDurden
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pukki

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lundstram the might mighty Lundstram

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lundstram

  7. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Kane > Aguero worth a -4? Or wait until next GW?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      What will you do when Jesus rises?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Start going to church

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      not worth it

    3. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I did it last week for -4 and couldn't have been happier.

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Unfortunately he can’t buy a time machine for a -4 now though

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Well thanks for that Sherlock. He can buy him this week though, I did it last week and don't regret it one bit. Against Norwich I'd do it again.

  8. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Early game for Pool and lots of defensive problems for Norwich makes me wanna captain Sterling or KDB over Salah.

    Opinions?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Safe solid choice = Salah

      If you want to live a little and be frantically refreshing to get team news = Sterling / KDB

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm going Salah and hoping for 1-point cameos with help from Pep, I don't really expect them to miss out but you never know

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I'd rather see all my players score, even if I pick the wrong captain.

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I wouldn't

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I like points.. doesn't matter if theyre owned or captained by everyone else.

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              well it does matter, but whatever

    3. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Strangely haven't considered Salah this week. Keep switching between Sterling and Aguero though. Currently on Aguero but can't decide!

  9. infamousprob
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I've activated my wildcard. Can you help if this team needs something different?

    Pope
    TAA-Digne-Pieters
    Salah-Sterling-KDB-Iwobi
    Abraham-Haller-Barnes

    SUB:Button,Lundstram,Cantwell

    Basically thinking if Iwobi is suited for 4th spot at midfield. Alternatives would be Mcginn,Ceballos, Robinson. James is 6.1 , so would need 0.2 from somewhere. I could downgrade Pieters 4.6 to Guilbert 4.4...

    Forwards are pretty much locked in. Don't want Pukki against ManC (H) or Burnely (A).

    Anything come to mind?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      whos your third sub ?

      1. infamousprob
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Rico

    2. FPL Ron Manager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Dan James would certainly be a good alternative I would say. He looked by far the most attacking, and effective player in their last televised match. I'd love to have Ceballos, but I think he's still susceptible to rotation at the moment.

      I think not having Pukki is a bit of a risk in view of high his ownership is, and how high in the stats charts he is. He's going to carry on shooting, and while he may not do much against Man City this weekend, against most other teams he's a good threat. If you were thinking of bringing him in, he might fall foul of the casual players dropping him after the City game, should be draw a blank, which could then provoke a price fall.

      Is Greenwood your third outfield sub?

      1. infamousprob
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Rico is my third sub...

        I May sell barnes/Abraham and go back to pukki. Ideal scenario would be, that pukki blanks against ManC and drops in price for 0.1. Then after burnley away, I could get him in

        1. FPL Ron Manager
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          There's a decent chance of Abraham going up in value again in the next 24 hours or so, which could be very useful to your strategy.

      2. infamousprob
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        How nailed is Daniel James when united start to play twice a week? I also saw him play against southampton and he really was a handful.. But where can I get those 0.2 to upgrade iwobi - > james

        1. FPL Ron Manager
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I wonder if United might prioritise the league which I feel would benefit James in fpl terms were that to happen. As their current main attacking threat, I'm hoping that makes him harder to drop.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Iwobi is an interesting call - pretty medium on him but don’t really know a lot about him.

      I’d be tempted to get funds from a 5.5 type at the back from Digne - City probs - to get a Mount type as 4th mid. I’m eyeing Mount CHO Trossard James as the area I’d want there. Think that extra 0.5 or so buys quite a lot.

      (Have McGinn but really as holding measure unless he does something special)

      1. infamousprob

    Which combo do you like best?

    A) Zink(5.5ish def) + JAyew - JAyew will rotated with Cantwell, Soy, Lund depending on fixtures
    B) 4.4 or less Def + Barnes

    Pope Button
    TAA Digne Soy Lund ??
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
    Pukki Haller ???

    2. TheDragon

      Not looked at prices ... can you have Haller, Salah & KDB instead of Kun, Mane & James/ Mount?

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yes I can have Haller, Salah and KDB instead of Kun, Mane and James. Reckon that is better?

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Personally yes I think it’s way better

          Why is everyone going for Button when he hasn't played any minutes yet?

          1. Bruno Commando
            • 9 Years

            Cheapest GK around! Most ppl are just going for 1 playing GK..

            1. Big W
              • 5 Years

                Only if people sell him and why would they when they never planned to play him?

                  What if your Keeper is playing your striker then surely that just cancels out the goals/Clean sheets?

            i've gone for iwobi... but really don't have money for over 6.1..

            Lanzini is also a great option! under 6.4 you could argue for Ceballos also...

          3. TheDragon

            • 5 Years

            Tielemans for sure needs to be considered.

            Trossard? I know he’s out but he’s still on my radar.

          5. KDB4PREZ
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Trossard for sure imo, if he played for better team everyone would own him! (Maybe they will by end of season)
            Also ppl forgetting James will be on the right wing soon again where his output diminishes

        • WALOR
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Digne + Guendouzi
          or
          4.8 def (Soyuncu?) + Mount?

          1. Markus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I've gone for latter (soyuncu/lundstram+1 rotation) but is close call

            1. WALOR
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

              Cheers Markus, leaning Mount

                • 14 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                It feels more exciting somehow. Digne is really popular and I can see why, I'm just a bit wary of clean sheets for everton which is the staple of any defender. An option is the first for the next two and then reassess after then by which time soyuncu/mount fixtures better or other options may have emerged

        • FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Looks like majority have Salah, Sterling KDB.

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yup

          2. infamousprob
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            this is why i am thinking of switching salah and sterling to Aguero and Mane... could also upgrade 7+ forward/midfielder to 9.5 Pepe/Son/Firmino

            1. TheDragon
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              What’s the logic?

              1. infamousprob
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                as so much people have Sterling and Salah, it's hard to climb trough overall rankings.... feels a bit dull to go with Sterling and Salah.

                Firmino and Aguero are in a great form and there is lot of potential to get massive point hauls from pepe/son.

            2. Bobby Digital
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              That would take 3 transfers though?

              1. infamousprob
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                not if you are on a wildcard...

            3. FOO FIGHTER
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I would never get rid of Salah but definitely going with something different to try climb the ranks GW5.

          3. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            As with most situations, there are a few players that everyone will have soon. What will define whether you go up or down are the remaining players/differentials.

            I'm expecting everyone soon to have:
            Pope, TAA, Digne, Salah, Sterling, KdB, Pukki. So that leaves 4 slots for the rest of your team to change it up and get ahead.

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I have those bar Pope (got Ederson), lets hope thats a good thing

              The FFS template takes you up the ranks, not down

              Except if you're expecting to be in top 100

              The template here over time tends to be the top 10k or 50k template (NOT the general FPL 6M+ template), and that should win my minileagues

              I lurk in the comments here to learn from the template "owned" players and also template "considered" players, then combine this with my personal research to choose who I get or sell. An important skill is knowing what biases are usually at play in the comments and avoiding those biases in my own team though

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Surely the best way to go about it is simply to pick the players you think will do well and then learn from your successes and failures?

                Looking at other people's teams and trying to learn from their mistakes doesn't seem nearly as productive or as fun to me.

          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Don't understand people picking wood in their WC teams presumably since they can't afford Barnes...his underlying stats have been bad, and the logic that they always end up with similar goals is flawed as well..I'd rather have Wesley over him or an additional midfielder in the same price bracket

          1. Peter Ouch
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Wood is a bad pick.
            Simply can't cover Barnes

            • 5 Years

            i certainly wouldnt rather have wesley but dont think wood is particularly good value either. worth shelling out a bit more for barnes

          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          We always thought that Pukki would have a hard time in the beginning of the season because of hard fixtures. But now the fixtures soften and the only tough fixture in the next 7 is Everton away. I would keep him or get him if I was on my WC.

        • Bruno Commando
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          So...I have this WC team with 0.7 ITB. Should I go...

          A) Abraham -> Haller + 0.4 ITB
          B) Dunk -> Maitland-Niles + 0.1 ITB
          C) Keep 0.7 ITB

          Pope // Skeletenburg

            Taa C this week, against all!

            Not the question you are asking but I’d be very tempted to play Lundstram over Dunk this week

            1. Bruno Commando
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I have both of them playing...because benching Pukki! Probably an unpopular choice...
