Visuals returned to the ScoutCast this week, as Granville and I cuddled up in a Google Hangout, with Jonty crashing in to form a ménage à trois.

Those of you who were on the site on Monday evening got the opportunity to join the sausage party via our You Tube channel. If you missed out, you can view the entire uncut version of the Hangout via the Hangout movie below.

If you prefer your ScoutCast in the regular, edited and polished audio format, you can of course get the goodness via this link or via the player below.

We’ll be looking to book ourselves in for future Hangouts every Monday evening – cropping up again next week prior to Tuesday’s deadline. Subscribe to our You Tube channel to get prior warning and look out for the dedicated Hot Topic on Monday.

The Hangout

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    10 years, 11 months ago

    How I'm looking this week: Save FT?

    Krul
    Kosc, Clyne, Dawson, Naughton
    Sanchez, ADM, Cazorla, Boyd
    Aguero (C), Defoe

    Panti, Hazard, Kane, Terry

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, next week it will be valuable

    2. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      defintely save

    3. Kuda
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Gewwwd

    4. davies
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Thanks all. I was thinking about Defoe > Cisse?

      1. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Could be a good move, I'd save though. Cisse still a risky option with his knee.

    5. TuttiFrutti
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Definately

  2. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Do we have news on Lucas injury?

    1. mookie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe later today, after Rodgers presser.

    2. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I don't think even Liverpool care.

      But no

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Of course they care, he's one of our most important players.

        1. Nickofoz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          this

        2. Test Eagles
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Fantasy managers haven't used the word "Lucas" in over 5 years.

          Apologies, as Liverpool fans I'm sure he means a great deal more than I right now.

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Lucas has ever been used by fantasy managers? 😯

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      April is what they say

  3. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Bottomed..

    Any help would be appreciated

    PVA is my 11th, wisdom on bench
    Wisdom to Bertrand for a hit?

    If I do it, do I
    A) bench Forster for Foster
    B) go double southhampton

    I'm thinking B

    1. mookie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      i'd play Foster

    2. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Spread the risk

    3. davies
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      A

    4. Kuda
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Of course everybody would predict Soton will score, maybe bagging CS. If punty, double Soton. If not, eggs in different basket

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Everyone would NOT predict Southampton will score. Otherwise Pelle would not be falling in price week after week.

    5. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      But yes, hit for sure?

  4. jbenny1107
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Best defender 6.0 or less that doesn't play for Southampton, West Ham, Arsenal.

    1. davies
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Dawson?

    2. Gazj11
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      WBA defender

    3. Gr3g
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Lolarov? 😉

  5. Denis Tueart on the wing
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Is any defender worth a -2 point hit?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Southampton or West Ham's defender

      1. Denis Tueart on the wing
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers, Is Yoshida worth a punt>

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Good for this week but probably wont start once Alder return.

          1. Denis Tueart on the wing
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 11 months ago

            that could be a plan - thanks

    2. Kuda
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Is there any -2? I'll take it

      1. Denis Tueart on the wing
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I figure that when you have only 10 starters, that -4 = -2

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          exactly. I took out Wasi and Wisdom for Lescott and Berty... effectively 1 each between them as I would be getting 0 from both Wisdom and Wasi anyway

          1. Denis Tueart on the wing
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 11 months ago

            Lescott, that is interesting. Not had him in since he played for Everton 😀

  6. Toonzie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Foster
    Clyne - Pva, Wasi*, Baird*
    Alexis - Silva - ADM - Boyd
    Aguero - Defoe

    Bench: Hamer, Kane, Hazard, Terry

    2FT, 1.9m itb

    Any idea?

    1. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Wasi -> Naughton, Baird -> Dawson?

      1. mookie
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        ^^this looks good

      2. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I wish I had of considered Naughton in stead of Lescott 😐 oh well.. .wait til my WC now!

    2. Kuda
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Terry and Wasi/Baird out. Kosc and Dawson.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      🙂

  7. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Any Newcastle fan around? Chances of Amoebi starting? 😐

  8. mookie
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    How does Hazard -> Moses; N'Doye -> Rooney(C) for free sound?

    A) good
    B) bad
    C) punty
    D) mental

    My team would look like this:

    Foster
    Naughton, Wollscheid, *BELLERIN*
    Moses, Silva, Sanchez(VC), Boyd, *WALCOTT*
    Rooney(C), Aguero

    Myhill, *PVA*, Kane, Terry

    1. davies
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      A mixture of B and C.

      1. Oz lotto

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      cheers guys

      fwiw i went 20 GW's without Hazard and N'Doye wouldn't be the first or the second fit player i'd be selling after scoring in his last two(been there, done that)

  9. La Roja

    Morning lads

    As a Turkish person, proud of Besiktas fans last night. What an amazing atmosphere that was.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        No mate, I dont live in Turkey so watched on TV. I have seen so many games with Turkish teams but this was something else, phew.

  13. davies

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      Sakhooooooooo

    3. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 15 Years

      Austin??

    4. Gideons Rolling Another One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I'm considering Cisse myself

  14. Denis Tueart on the wing
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    I think Clichy - nothing but a think though

    1. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      oops - missed

  15. CarelessGenius©
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Start Krul or Ospina?

  16. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Double on Southampton D @wba
    or
    Double on Newcastle D vs AVL

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      The former... will be better in the long run

  17. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Take Sturridge out for a hit? He played 106mins last night..might not start against City..

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Wait for the news

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        yeah will wait for the news

    2. Gr3g
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      The only player I would consider would be Rooney but still I wouldn't take a hot to take Sturridge out.
      Even as a sub he might score 🙂

  18. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    I'd love yaya to start performing as every1 has written him off after silva last gw performance!

  19. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    P. Jones or Rojo for this week only ?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Jones.

  20. Denis Tueart on the wing
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Any chance of Baird starting with Morrison out?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      don't think so

    2. Jonny Sutt
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      No way, yacob fletcher, Gardner and mcmanaman will start. If they don't start he also has mulumbu to come into the team. So if yacob and mulumbu r both injuried then yes he will start.

  21. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Gtg?

    Forster
    Clyne Dawson Bruce bellerin
    Sanchez (c) yaya sterling Ameobi
    Aguero giroud

    Hammer hazard Kane terry

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      No Silva? 😯 😉
      Good to go

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Yaya will get 2 more weeks and I'll switch! If they r both playing well I'm might dropp sterling for silva!

        1. Gr3g
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          And in 3 weeks Yaya will start banging them in and Silva will go empty handed for few weeks 😉

  22. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    6, 4, 4 and its 50 for Mr. 360! Boom!

  23. Perthite
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Have 10 playing atm, (Hazard, Terry, Eriksen & Kane & 3.8m, 1 FT).

    Terry out best option or save FT?

    1. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Terry out and enjoy 11 players

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Wonderful advice. You repetitively advise people to keep PvA who has been dropped but they should transfer out Terry who is nailed on for the best defensive team in the PL.

        Were you on the Titanic by any chance?

  24. Gideons Rolling Another One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Saints double up? Yay or Nay?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      Yay

    2. dmhomag
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Pelle and Long?

      1. Gideons Rolling Another One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Ha hell yeah

    3. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Nay - they can't score.

      1. Kevin Twine
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        2 defenders though maybe.

    Can anyone beat this?

    WC defence was; Terry Debuchy* Bertrand* Cameron* PvA*

    Okay, I bought the Cameron business on myself as he was never 100% nailed on, but still.

    Following this I got rid of the Debuchy problem by getting Bellerin who was rested last week and also the Bertrand problem by selling him for Wisdom 2 weeks prior to being dropped.

    lol.

      Terry, Debuchy, Alderweireld, Wisdom, Wasilewski GW21 WC

      where is your aleague fantasy team?

      Afraid so, I can field 11 with a sub this GW along with 2FT. 😯
      I went against the flock on WC and ended up with
      Kos(instead of Bellerin) + Fonte + Yoshida + Wolly + Wisdom (now Haidara)

      Luckily and astonishingly, Yoshida ended up being a better pick than PVA
      Imagine that a few weeks ago during Jan WC? PVA wouldn't be nailed and Yoshida still in the starting 11.

      Nice grav btw

      You bought the PvA business on yourself too. He was never nailed on.

          Indeed. The guy had played every minute of every league match he was fit for until last week and according to a local newspaper he is his club's only specialist left back. (http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/patrick-van-aanholt-rushed-back-8388497)

          "..."Sunderland’s Patrick van Aanholt... offers security of starts". That's the conventional wisdom on here but are you sure?

          PvA is a defensive liability. He lost his place at Vitesse midway through last season because of it. Chelsea sold him because of it. Sunderland's improved defensive resilience came after he became injured and was replaced by new signing Reveillere. On his PL return he was at fault for the Liverpool goal by which they lost.

          I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Reveillere replace PvA at left back once Reveillere is fit again (soon). Meaning PvA would play left midfield or more likely spend a lot of time on the bench. Poyet is more likely to prioritise defensive soundness at left back over the attacking flair which is PvA's strength.

          I'd go for O'Shea if you want a secure Sunderland defender."
