The ScoutCast – Episode 161 – Kahunas

This week’s episode of the ScoutCast certainly doesn’t lack “Kahunas” but it does go without my nasal tones.

Another bout of man-flu got the better of me this week but, rather than can the episode, I allowed the lunatics to take over the asylum and run this nonsense without me. Granville and Jonty rise to the occasion, ably abetted by this week’s star guest, Jack Wain – previously number two in the world and still part of the pack giving chase to former guest, Simon March.

Jack makes his appearance just as his gutsy gamble to ignore the sure-fire Sergio Aguero captaincy backfires. Granville and Jonty analyse his brave fall from grace, while quizzing our FPL luminary on the Gameweek 37 double and the great Eden Hazard dilemma, all courtesy of another round of questions from you, the community.

This week’s episode was beamed live via the magic of Google Hangouts on Tuesday evening. You can view that webcam wonder via the larger player below.

For the polished, directors cut audio version, you’ll be needing this link or the smaller player below.

    How is this for a plan?

    GW 37) Hazard ---> Cazorla
    GW 38) Sanchez/Silva ----> Hazard

    Another option is:

    GW 37) Silva ----> Cazorla, and potentially bench Hazard for Alderweirald ((AVL) - I have Benteke)
    GW 38) Take a punt.

    Which option would be better?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm stumped, don't know

    2. Zh0u

      First one. Hard to see Silva not doing anything this week.

      1. Skokym
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Dont be so sure...

    3. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      The first option as Haz won't play and you keep Silvastreak.

    4. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I prefer the second

    Jose Mourinho will be speaking to the media today at Cobham at around 2 pm.

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Who cares. Elland Rd is where it's at.

    Utd to sign Kane? Oh god no

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I've just googled it.

      Don't worry it's the Daily Mail. It's completely false 😉

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Doesn't the Daily Hate usually get this stuff right?

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes.. Kane, Bale, Hummels, Gundagon, Muller etcc

    3. Tomeister
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Why don't you want kane?

  4. Skokym

    Hello FFS,

    Have Ramsey, Ozil, Gru ... Is Ramsey to Caz for free pointless? Scared of Ramsey game time :-/

    Thanks

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      You must have other bigger transfers to do?

      1. Skokym
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Not really

        Pants
        Skrtl Toby Jags
        Haz Ramsey Ozil Silva
        Tekke Kun Gru

        I can go fo PVA but not sure. Maybe I will save the FT

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Gw 38 is a lottery anyway. A lot will get rested perhaps. So you may as well use it this week. Good team for this week btw

          1. Skokym
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Cheers!

      Dont think its worth it tbh

      1. Skokym
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

    3. bitm2007

      Use FT on best 1st sub you can get, to cover for either Rambo or Hazard rotation.

      1. Skokym
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        yeah thats the most likely thing I will do. Cheers!

  5. Doctor X
    • 13 Years

    Repost. Hit bottom. Need some help picking one of these. Have Sanchez and Ramsey. All the moves for a (-4)

    [A] Skrtel, Cazorla, Gomez ...............(Bench Hazard and keep for 38)

    [B] Koscielny, Henderson, Gomez......(Bench Hazard and keep for 38)

    [C] Koscielny, Silva, Hazard...............(Risk a Hazard cameo in 37)

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years

      A

    hey guys, can any of you link me to those hilarious press conferences for the ffs wc tourny? I think it was by team south Africa but I may be wrong though.

    Thanks in advance. Needed kinda urgently

  7. istanbul05
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Migs,
    Ivan, Kosc, Rose,
    Haz, Silva, Ozil, Gomez,
    Kun, Benteke, Kane,

    Myhill, Hendo, Alder, Schlupp. £1.1m and 1FT

    A) Silva and Alder > Sanchez and *cheap 3.9 DF*

    OR

    B) Kane and Hendo > Giroud and *cheap 4.9 MF*

    Cheers guys!!

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B, and i'd play Alder over Rose

      1. istanbul05
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks!!

      2. 11 Angry Men
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly this! Why keep Rose?

        1. istanbul05
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Had him since the DGW and just not been able to get rid due to other transfers!!

  8. RubeRx

    Did you guys hear about the Boca Juniors fans pepper spraying the River Plate players in the Copa Libertadores ? Hahah

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      That's not funny

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Not for players just funny they let it happen in the tunnel..

  9. weaver93
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    morning guys

    Bench one of these

    A: Schlupp (SUN)
    B: Alderweireld (AVL)
    C: Fellaini (ARS)

    Cheers

    1. The Generalator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      tricky, i think there will be goals both ends in the SUN match though

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B is your bench option to play

      1. weaver93
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        thanks guys..

        my bench consists one of the above and Boyd & Baird..

    3. 11 Angry Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I am benching Schlupp. He has been great but I think Sunderland will score this week.

  10. The Generalator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Chances of Monreal playing both DGW matches?

    17th, Utd
    20th, Sunderland

    24th, West Brom (I think Monreal rested here?)

    30th FA Cup Final

    Do I get rid for -4

    Many thanks

    1. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Don't get rid just pray

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        this

    2. The Generalator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      thanks

      I can FT him for another Arsenal Def, but then I will have no Sunderland players

  11. Tommytour
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy or Henderson?

    1. The Generalator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Henderson. Vardy could be taken off early depending on the score

      1. Tommytour
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Still a sore foot?.

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I think so

    3. OzilFozzil
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hendo

    4. bar low tell me
      • 10 Years

      fancy liverpool going crazy on this game

  12. BIG TONES
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What's the consensus on here for Sunderland strikers?

    Currently on Defore but ehhhhhhhh duno

    1. Zh0u
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wickham

    2. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Thought you'd be an expert on rubbish strikers

      1. BIG TONES
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I know right!

    3. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No thanks. I'd stay away from SUN mids and fwds as they barely score and when they do it's a lottery.

      Just get 2 SUN defs and Pantz like me.

  13. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Rank these three out of the best to have if you want double Arsenal MF alongside Sanchez

    Ozil
    Ramsey
    Cazorla

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Zh0u
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Caz and Ozil

      1. The Generalator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I think Ramsey is a risk for DGW, looks like he's quite injury prone.
        FA CUP approaching also!

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      caz, ozil, ramsey ( but ramsey first if he plays both games)

    3. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      1st Rambo
      2nd Rambo
      3rd Rambo.

      1. Acquafresca
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Injured Rambo

        1. Jafalad
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Okay. Rambo then.

    4. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ozil due to game time but it is a lottery. Roll the dice

    5. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Caz
      Ozil
      Ramsey (injury and rotation risk)

    6. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Cazorla, by a huge margin.

      1. meerlight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        you'd better be right 🙂

      There are quite a few articles that literally do what you're requesting

  14. The Generalator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I'm 60 points off the 1000 club, I have 3 Arsenal players, would having PVA help my cause???

    I load of peeps around me have him

    many thanks

    1. The Generalator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      *so I have no sunderland players

    2. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      For free yes

      1. The Generalator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        -4

        1. Skokym
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Not worth for a hit

    3. Skokym
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It wont hurt

      1. The Generalator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        thanks Skokym

    4. Siva Mohan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      everyone has 3 + 1/2 DGW players..

      depends on the players you own..

      1. The Generalator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Siva
        I can do PVA for free and risk Monreal playing DGW
        or upgrade Monreal and get PVA -4

        ??

    5. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I was watching that goal he missed v EVR last week in the penalty box. Great skill, poor finish. He's worth having I suspect though.

  15. MISTAOM
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Pick two to start out of: Morgan Cahill Azpi Henderson

    Note I'm already starting Schmeichel

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think either chelsea players will play, so the other two

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hendo, Morgan

    3. jernej93
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hendo and Morgan ... other two are rotation risk 🙂

    4. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Azpi and Hendo

  16. jernej93
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Hendo or Albrighton?

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hendo.

  17. Acquafresca
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    SO nobody joining me with Ohhhzil(c)?

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Just Christina by the looks of things 🙁

      1. Acquafresca
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Refused.

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I don't see why you would want to. If ozil gets loads of assists it means someone else is scoring like sanchez, ramsey or giroud. So you may as well captain one of them

          1. Acquafresca
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            True. Who do you fancy?

            1. Bolivian Seaman
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Boringly sanchez. Though I have a suspicion giroud will do well. He might not be marked as tightly, and he's playing against teams who aren't good in the air

    2. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes for my draft league side. Not holding out much hope.

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, enjoy your 5(10) points.

      1. Acquafresca
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Fortune teller?

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 10 Years

          😉

  18. Jafalad

    Anyone else want the season to go on for a bit longer?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, I want to start again.

      1. Jafalad
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        What's your rank PP?

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          7k.

    2. Mr Sarcastic
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Lol no, it's too long already (fantasy season I mean).

    3. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Can't wait till it ends, will miss watching it but can't stop getting reds at the moment

  19. Red Reddington ⚽
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Graham/Wickham/Defoe?

    Taking a hit to replace Sterling with Gomez?

  20. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Looking at doing Cahill+N'Doye-->Kolarov+Defoe (-4). Makes sense right?

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah I guess.

  21. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Morning lads

    What time are the press conferences? Can't find any sticky

    1. Acquafresca
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Morning LR. No clue.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        How's DGW team shaping up fella?

        1. Acquafresca
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Can't decide captain.

          Pants
          Ivan PVA Moreno(Berty)
          Alexis Ozil Gerrard Gomez
          Aguero Giroud Kane

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            If you're chasing, then Ozil.

            1. Acquafresca
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Planning that currently, cheers.

  22. The Gambler.
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    OSPINA
    PVA - Skrtel - Schlupp
    Silva - SANCHEZ (c) - RAMSEY - Sterling
    Aguero - Vardy - Kane

    Bench : Schmeichel - Hendo - Ivanovic - Toby

    A) Vardy > Defoe (4 pt hit)
    B) Ramsey > Cazorla (4 pt hit)
    C) Play Hendo over Vardy
    D) Leave as it is

    1. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      C

    2. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'd play Ivan over Schlupp

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Play Ivan, don't be that guy.

    Morning lads

  26. Rhinos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Looks like Ryan Taylor gets the nod over Wes Morgan. Can see a 0-0 in the sun-leics game but having someone in free kicks is so much sexier

    1. The Gambler.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Taylor could be one of my first picks next season. Should be cheap.

    2. Shane H
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A 0-0? Both teams need the 3 points to make that last day less stressful, I reckon there's more chance of a 3-3 than a 0-0.

      1. Rhinos
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Sunderland will look to keep it toght, that is pretty much a guarantee

        1. Shane H
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I'm sure they would but unfortunately for them a 0-0 going into games against Arsenal and Chelsea means they could go down, unfortunately for them also is that keeping it tight is not in their hands when they play an inform attacking Leicester side scoring plenty of goals.

          They haven't turned into a side that dictates games overnight, they are still a very poor side and will do well to stay in the league.

    Kane and Bale to united? o.O

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Suarez and Messi too

      1. Acquafresca
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I hear Neymar will be joining them in a swap deal for Falcao Rooney and RVP 😆

    Thoughts about doing Kane -> Wickham for a hit?

    Planning to do Wickham -> Benteke in gw38

    I'm chasing 35 point lead and need to things bit differently

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't. How about you just captain an arsenal player your rival doesn't own. That in itself could be enough if you get lucky.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Its huge risk not to captain Sanchez. I might slip from top 3 (get paid) if Cazorla (c) fails.

        Cheers.

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          OK well you need to choose if you're going for first or holding 3rd. Pretty difficult to do both

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Silly IMO.

    3. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Not kane.

    4. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Def not

    5. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'd keep Kane do that trade next week.

      Go for Defoe if you must though, Wickham stats are a bit shie

    Who thinks Gerard will score a brace this weekend?

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Benched. Will come on for the second half

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I think he'll start, it's the best way for liverpool to avoid the europa league

    2. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Very much doubt it unless he gets some penalties
