The ScoutCast – Episode 245 – Conjury

1,840 Comments
Share

The first ScoutCast of 2018 is sprinkled with a festive catch-up, an assessment of the latest transfer bandwagons and even some logic-defying magic.

YouTube viewers will need to pay close attention to Granville and Jonty about 1 minute and 56 seconds in to catch their conjuring trick; others will just have to use their imagination and be content with the rest of this 90-minute marathon episode.

We explore the lure of Aguero, the clamour for Lingard and the Fantasy freak of nature that is Marcos Alonso. Third striker options are assessed, we conduct a post-mortem on Liverpool following Coutinho’s exit and we start hatching plans for February’s forthcoming blank before the usual Gameweek preview ends proceedings.

Next week Granville saws Jonty in half and Az pulls a rabbit out of his hipster beard.

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

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

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

    Hey why has Salah not dropped in price? This has kind of scuppered my plans to get him back in

        Is there a reason though? I remember some players get flagged when they return from injury or something but I don't understand why he has not dropped at least 0.2.

      Because the very many people who kept him realised that he wouldn't be out for very long. He had such huge ownership, so even the high number of sales was relatively no big thing.

        Can you define 'no big thing'? How many sales does it take for a drop then? It used to be a certain % of his overall ownership isnt it? Hard to imagine that that % wasn't reached. FPL stats have him at 400% to drop.

            I actually was looking at fantasyfootballfix. It s showing 400% so its obviously not reliable. I may start using fpl stats again.

            Ill just buy him again anyway, hes gold

              Someone mentioned (TM) that FFFix is broken.
              It does appear that the FPL algorithm is not a linear calculation. Players with a huge ownership appear to be "relatively" immune to sales. Didn't Lukaku have a similar story earlier in the season? (But he was playing like a donkey and not producing so he kept falling)
              I'm not totally unsympathetic to your plight, but it's just part of this crazy FPL world we live in.

      It's beyond belief that he's not dropped 0.1-0.2 minimum. It will be interesting to see the percentage ownership he reverts to, once the free hits are discounted from last wk. Even if 220k out of the 700k are WC/FH'ers, he's dropped more than enough owners to warrant a drop in price...all ''tis is doing is stoking the likelihood of him reaching 10.5 by February...

      If you follow price changes regularly it won't be long before you notice there's no consistency in the changes. Some players rise/drop quickly, others don't. This is why no one has ever been able to crack the 'secret' formula FPL use. Also, I don't believe the wildcard/free hit argument is the answer every time.

        FPL is all about preparation. We need a week or two to decide how to set teams up.
        City is more than likely a banker to miss GW28. So I am already 2/3 players down. Especially if I get Aguero in for next week.

      I'd say Lingard over Arnautovic, he's in red hot form and the fixtures wouldn't matter much. Arnautovic can make reckless challenges at times, so there's always the risk of him getting booked.

          Could have only Pope Ogbonna Salah Son and Kane as starters in 28 .... never too early to plan imho

    When will FFS put out a guide or an article on the blanks? Is it too early or do we need to start planning?

      The first one is gw28. Imo it would be unwise to drop good players now because they miss one game later. Just carry on as normal for at least a couple more weeks.

          This is exactly the point - side ways transfers involving bringing in City or Utd players of say, Son to Lingard are a risk, especially for a hit, this week.

          If you have Liverpool and Spurs hold them this week, even Arnie etc., certainly don’t swap them this week for players that may blank in 28

              The midweek is for FA replays, Arsenal out helps.

                Ok, just checked and neither Southampton nor Man U had fixtures during the midweek after their 2017 League Cup Final and were not asked to play their cancelled PL games during the mid week thereafter.

                No matter what happens there will be one blank involving either Arsenal & City or Utd & Chelsea, and a good chance of all 4 teams having a blank ... all will be revealed next week and let’s hope for the worst 🙂

                  Man Utd's postponed game was Man City, and they had a re-arranged cup-tie v Huddersfield, so that wouldn't have gone ahead anyway. Soton could have played Arsenal, though.

                    I think the PL pretty much wait until GW 36 and GW37 to mop up these postponed fixtures - don’t think I have ever seen them rescheduled for the midweek?

                    Seems unfair on the players, fans, clubs and just about every one involved

                    Do you think the game(s) will be played mid week ?

                      I think the reason they don't schedule them for this particular midweek is that there's always the possibility that both clubs involved could be knocked out of the FA Cup - making FACR5 day the obvious choice. For revenue purposes the clubs involved would much rather reschedule the game on a free Saturday than shoehorn it in midweek later in the season. Better for the fans, better for the players too.

        Agree that Dunk has the biggest goal threat. I’d say all three fixtures are the same, it’s tough.

        Mee - plays in the best defensive unit of the three in my opinion

        Dunk - biggest goal threat, second best defence of the three

        Ogbonna - bookies have West Ham as the most likely of the three to keep a clean sheet, already scored this season whereas the other two haven’t

      I this situation I'd go for the biggest upside. If they all kept clean sheets who would be most likely to score/assist/get bonus. The order for me is
      Dunk > Mee > Ogbonna
      (where > means greater than)

      I agree that Dunk would be a logical choice and the best out of all the options because of his attacking threat.
      Mee faces a Crystal Palace team high on confidence, so there's every chance of conceding a goal even though Palace have some injuries.
      Ogbonna doesn't look as good on paper because of Huddersfield playing so well at home.
