The ScoutCast – Episode 204 – Flagging

Frustrated by the international hiatus and with Granville tied up in political red tape, Jonty and Andy tag along as we go hunting for our Fantasy Football mojo.

Andy dons his Zlatan mask in celebration of a belated brace, as we talk flags – for far too long – tackling the lively break “Hazard controversy” head on.

Premium strikers, price drop bargains, Christmas shopping and the baby imminent table all earn oxygen, as we desperately attempt to brush away the ring-rust and look ahead to Gameweek 12.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first beamed live on Wednesday via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

      You're actually putting Alonso in that list? Mods please ban.

      1. Squires FC

      Wow you have a choice who to bench.

      1. Squires FC
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Chadli and costa owner so the choice may prove to be pointless

  2. Annie

    Play Lovren or Bellerin to Alonso for a hit?

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Lovren will get you 2 points minimum... Alonso will get you 6 points maximum... factor in the hit and the math says stick

      1. SweepaKeepa
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Agreed

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Take the hit, you dont buy Alonsojust for one week...

      1. David Brains - OH NO!
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Get Alonso next week for not hit

      Gate crashing a wedding takes some balls in fairness.

      Especially in an England polo shirt.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)

        In Ireland it would be anyway.
        Having said that we would be all pissed and probably not even notice him.Until he took granny out for a dance of course.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          He could dance with my granny if he wanted.

          He would have to dig her up first but he's more than welcome.

      You have to go to http://www.ffscaptainpoll.com they switched over to that last week lad.

    What is wrong with Coutinho?

        What colour are you flagged when you die.
        Black I guess.

    Coutinho news proves again how pointless the Thursday press conferences are. All pressers should be no more than 24 hours before the game

  8. rjcv177
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    With Austin and Redmond:

    A) Play Redmond
    B) -4 for Shaqiri
    C) -4 for Allen
    D) -4 for Gundogan
    E) -4 for Chadli

    Thkx in advance

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Play redmond

      1. rjcv177
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        doubleup didn't work against Hull, u think is worth it against L'Pool?
        I'm tempted 2 go Shaqiri

    2. SweepaKeepa
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      A

      1. rjcv177

        thkx, 2 votes for Red! he's gaining momentum

    New article so we go again....

    Ibra to Kane for -4 okay?

    Should I stop ignoring Costa or are the fixtures/yellow card situation enough to warrant going Kane instead?

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Get ahead of the curve

      1. David Brains - OH NO!
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        (and get Kane)

      2. UCL Fantasy
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        That is definitely part of the appeal

      3. James H
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        I agree - think as you're in the position to do it, get in first before Lukaku owners start to consider their options after this GW.

    2. Pochecinno
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Posted this on the previous article:

      Ibra to Kane is a no-brainer for you, mate. I wanted to scream at you in the scoutcast when you expressed reluctance. For a lot of us getting Kane means getting rid of either Aguero or Lukaku which is why it's a difficult one this week. I'm actually contemplating Lukaku to Kane(c) for -4 but if it was for a suspended Ibra I wouldn't blink.

      1. UCL Fantasy
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        I just replied 🙂

        Not captain matertial just yet for me, I want to see how he goes in the next 2.

        GW14 is Swansea (h) though - will be tempted by that

        1. Pochecinno
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          London Derby. Kane's favourite type of game. He got a brace in the same fixture last season 🙂

          Aguero's fixture and potential EO, though, so I can understand.

          1. UCL Fantasy
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 12 months ago

            Aguero has scored in 5 games and 3 of those were braces all away - can't resist. I do need to get braver when it comes to captaincy though, driven by too much Aguero fear.

            This week though I think it's justified

      2. JB12345
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Lukaku to Kane on a -4? Please don't do that

    3. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I would yes.

    4. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      You haven't made a transfer yet Andy.

      1. UCL Fantasy
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        No prices changes tonight that will affect me so I can wait until tomorrow

        Mustafi + Sterling to Hazard + McAuley is already lined up though

    5. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Thinking Ibra out for Kaku here.

      Kane is an interesting one, haven't got Costa either so I'll have a lot to mull over before Saturday.

      1. UCL Fantasy
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Lukaku looks great for this week but after that I'm not so sure. Would make Hazard in easier...

        1. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          See, that is my thinking as well. Quite the conundrum. If Lukaku manages to keep scoring he's very tough to ignore. Costa could keep going but at least with Hazard you might not feel the sting as much. Then Kane, who going by last year also started quite slow and then went on an absolutely ridiculous streak... Very tough 😕

    6. SweepaKeepa
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Yep

    7. In Bale We Trust
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Good move imo.

    8. A.T
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Too early imo. I'd let him get a run of games first.

      1. UCL Fantasy
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        -8 and Kane too early?

        That's me benched for our game then 😀

        1. A.T
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          I'm on a -8 too probably so you'll be sitting next to me 🙂

    9. Squires FC
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I'd go for kane in your position

      1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen

        This

    10. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I'm worried about Kane's fitness. An international friendly would have been perfect for him to gain match fitness and yet he was sent back to Spurs. I think I might wait a week. I had Kane at the start of the season and he did nothing.

  10. claretdownunder
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Evening!!!!!
    Quick question - how likely is it that Payet will drop tonight?

    1. UCL Fantasy
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Looking quite likely

  11. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Janmaat or Holebas (after suspension) ?

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Holebas for me - he saved my gameweek a few weeks back - I owe him

    2. SweepaKeepa
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Holebas

    3. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Holebas

    4. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Janmaat

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Why would Janmaat be your preference ?

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Great attacking full back and this season he plays for a team that isn't Newcastle.

          1. TLF
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 12 months ago

            Good point ! Ok, I'll watch him on Sat before making decision, cheers

            1. FPL Virgin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 12 months ago

              Great stuff.

  12. In Bale We Trust
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Coutinho owners concerned?

    1. UCL Fantasy
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      As an owner I'm not too worried.

      Glad that I'm not in a position where I'm potentially buying though

    2. Pochecinno
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      No.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      No as will transfer him to Firmino if not fit to play on Saturday.

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I couldn't give a toss about flags these days because they are so trivial.

      1. In Bale We Trust
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Cheers guys. Just saw the news there and was wonder should I be worried.

      2. Dino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Sadly this is the way most are going to view them now. Once when I logged on to fpl and saw a flag I knew there was a good chance he'd be doubtful. Now it just means there was a rumour on twitter somewhere

  13. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    How fitting is that Scoutcast title right now.

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Only just got it 😀

  15. Granville

    I have 7 flags if you include Walcott. I also have non playing Amat.

    1. KingNidge
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      And a WC... big chance to make up some serious ground this week and set yourself up for the coming weeks too..

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        I will have to play. It's still fairly tricky with so many doubts.

        Just trying some wildcard shopping with KDB instead of Aguero.

        1. KingNidge
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Madness not to imo

          Funny you should say that as i went that way with mine.. didn't last long as KDB was crocked the same week though.. it's doable.. if you can bring yourself to commit to no Aguero so many other doors are open for you..

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 12 Years

      Wow that's colourful.must be pretty to look at.

    3. In Bale We Trust

      When it rains, it pours.

  16. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Would you play Kaboul or de Roon ?
    Leicester really haven't been scoring away from home and de Roon doesn't really offer much goal threat and he is playing Chelsea . So I think Kaboul .

    1. SweepaKeepa
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I agree with Adam West. Go Kaboul.

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Cheers . How are things looking for you ?

        1. SweepaKeepa
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Fine, thanks. Think transfer will be used to get a defence out. Smith (suspended, then tough fixtures) to der Hoorn (cheap, goal threat, good fixtures). Approved?

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 12 months ago

            Yeah cheap and if he does start he will offer something other than clean sheets which might be hard to come by .

            1. SweepaKeepa
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 12 months ago

              Thanks!

  17. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Im still struggling with my decision to opt for Smith over Holebas 5 weeks ago and missing his points haul ! I shall be keeping a close eye on Janmaat this weekend, leaning towards Holebas but like the idea of getting Janmaat as a differential....

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Holebas is only owned by 8.6% of the game I would consider that to be a differential .

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        That's a fair point, so much chatter about Holebas (for good reason) it feels like his ownership would be higher, thanks.

    Not much substance to it but both the Mirror and the Telegraph reporting Costa is winning his battle to be fit...

      1. Dr Dream

        I wouldn't like to be the one telling him he's not playing.

    Walcott owners, how are you feeling about him atm?

      Worried about him missing the game due to babygate and kinda wishing I ditched him a couple of weeks ago before his price plummeted

      Concerned, have Hazard and Costa but sounds like both will play, however, with Coutinho injury rumours starting to circulate and Capoue the only other player on my bench that could come on (Smith and Amat are other subs), Walcott disappearing could leave me 1 man short. Still think he is a good pick going forward though as long as he retains his spot.

    I can see benteke causing city problems on saturday. If I had any balls I'd captain. But I don't. .. so kun (c) it is.

    Andy, your Coutinho scenario contained a massive hole in it. I answered on the last article.

          As soon as you posted I was like.....great point.

          For me it would put me off doing the transfer a little bit, although I'd probably still do it. So there's slight doubt but not enough to put me off entirely.

    Damn. FPL a bit quick off the mark with that flag.

    Had they not done that I don't think it would have mattered too much whether he played or not. The highest owned player in the game not playing isn't really too bad (not sure what his ownership is amongst active teams...but very high)

    He may well drop like a stone tomorrow now.

      Matters to people buying. Yellow flags are just a warning compared to a red one.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Oh aye. It'll stop them for sure. Probably divert them to Firmino maybe.

        Yes wakey what you need to realise is that a flag means there may have been a rumour started by some young lad on twitter for a bit of craic that has been picked up by the papers.

        What people are just going to have to do is waste hours of their lives trying to discern reliable sources for these flags before deciding whether to move the player on or not.

        It's for the best for the Joe public player though as he spends hours doing this kind of validation anyway and loves the game for it.

      All stemmed from a Twitter pic from a guy nobody's ever heard of it seems 😆

      Madness. I don't even own Coutinho, but still.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        I'd find it hard to believe he made it up. Without the pic maybe...but with it?

    Just got a email from Man City.

    30% off first team shirt

    You can now get it for the bargain price of £63

    Absolute joke and rip off

    1. Pochecinno
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I saw a percentage and thought it was another flagged player

      1. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        It says on the email that the full price is £90. When you actually click on the link it's actually £60 less 30%. Still a rip off

        1. Pochecinno
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Of course it's rip off. I decided a while ago not to feed the football industry. Don't buy any merchandise.

            Exactly - if people are willing to pay that for it, they are going to charge that for it. Fundamental rule of any business.

      3. Syd.
        • 15 Years

        £40 for the United junior top but surely you wouldn't inflict that on your child 😉

          Already has one of those, albeit last years.

          It's Barcelona and "Neymar Jr" now apparently

      4. Pochecinno
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        You can probably get last seasons kit for a tenner or even less. Depending on how old your kid is, he won't even know the difference.

  29. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 9 Years

    If im considering playing a wildcard, would it be best to look at players for next 2-3 weeks after wildcard or more longer term say 6-8 weeks

    1. UCL Fantasy
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Bit of both

      Don't have to plan for everyone 6-8 weeks in advance as you'll have a transfer every week but also don't go too short term.

      One thing to remember is we're coming up to Christmas which usually sees a bit of rotation so a good squad could be key

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Thanks Andy, im struggling with when to play mt WC, everytime i consider playing playing i talk myself out of it. Think with no chelsea cover and no Kane maybe i need to play it soon.

        Current Team:

        Heaton (Valdes)

        Morgan, Stones, Evans, Williams (VanDijk)

        Sanchez, Firmino, KDB, Gundogan (Redmond)

        Lukaku (c), Austin (Wilson)

    2. Dr Dream
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Both. Pick a few Sanchez's and Firmino's that you're happy to keep come what may. The cheaper ones you'll probably be thinking of changing even before the end of GW1.

      Despite our best efforts WC teams seldom last more than a couple of weeks before the first change or two.
