Rarely during the 180-episode history of the ScoutCast have I felt so under fire; forced to curl up in a ball and defend myself by any means necessary.

Reeling from the first dramatic failing of my no-Aguero policy, I recruit Luke to join myself, Andy and Jonty, only to find that I’ve set up an unwanted 3 vs 1 scenario.

A ten-minute tirade, during which I desperately clutch at every tangible straw, has me desperately trying to justify my Aguero stance, while my trio of co-hosts listen on, jab and prod and allow me to tie myself in knots.

Eventually I manage to deflect the blows and switch attentions to another round of community questions. We review failing heavy-hitters, a blossoming Baines and a resurgent Rooney, before the traditional preview of the Gameweek to come.

    I have Two transfers what is the best way to get Agureo in?
    A. Kane/Lukaku and Kolarov > Agureo and Daniels
    B. Ighalo and KDB> Agureo and Alli
    C. Kolarov KDB Ighalo > Agureo Dier and Wijnaldum/Barkley (-4)
    D. Kolarov KDB Ighalo > Agureo Simpson and Erikson/Ramsey (-4)
    E. Kolarov > downgrade and wait until next week to get Agureo and a decent midfielder

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐

      A or E.

      I'd ship Kane and Kolarov for Kun and Daniels.

      1. boombaba

        10 years, 1 month ago

        This

    2. Prøphet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A seems like a decent choice, but would actually do E

    3. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A with kane probably, but you'll be without spurs attacking cover, good luck with that, i'm sweating over no everton attack

  2. The Red Devil
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    starting fuchs & daniels

    benching moreno & nyom

    yay or nay?

    1. Prøphet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      For me thats a good decision honestly

      1. The Red Devil
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        couldn't decide between fuchs & moreno then decided on home/away, hope it pays off

  3. Costa's Counsellor
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ozil Payet Mahrez Alli KDB

    Who would you bench?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same MID, and benching Alli, since got Toby and Kane from Spurs.
      Else would be Mahrez

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        this

    2. Sadio come here often?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez. Stoke are solid and Leicester are fading

    3. cruzex
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Alli, easy decision

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Really?

      2. boombaba
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        this

    4. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      i think i'm going to play Alli - bulk of his goals & assists are away from home and Palace are leaking goals.

    5. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I thought people would say Ozil...

      1. Filthbomb
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        KDB

        1. Costa's Counsellor
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Nah, Kun's back so I think City's away form will improve.

  4. Sadio come here often?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I'm really stumped as to why lukaku would now be top of the captain poll? I get that he's at home, but swans have been good defensively.
    I understand Aguero captainers.
    But is Kane being overlooked when he had 8 shots last week and now playing a rubbish palace?
    What am I missing here?
    (Disclaimer - I have all 3)

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years

      LOL @ your grav. That was absolutely hilarious event 😀

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Made me wish it was somebody meaner than Hazard, somebody who would have actually kicked that kid's ass. Like Barton, or M'Vila, or who other crazy b**tards are there? Vardy. That would have been something to see.

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Its just a game. No one deserves to be kicked to ribs for wasting time.

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            To be fair, 1) he deserved at least to be taken out of the game (the kid that is) and 2) he wasn't kicked to ribs, but play acted that he was.

            1. Camp No No
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              And at that point, that was just so disgusting that I wished it was somebody meaner there. Even at Chelsea there would have been Terry and now even Costa (not back then though), who might have kicked that brat's ass when he was pretending to be injured for having the ball kicked away from his hands.

          2. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Sorry Kuqi but you're fooling nobody with your "just a game" point..

            It's one of the biggest industries in the world.

            1. Camp No No
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              😆

              That's true too. It's also maybe the biggest religion in the world, and has a law of its own and everything. But in this case maybe there's also a point that nobody should get beaten for wasting time. But the refs definitely should have sent that ball boy off the stadium for his antics. His sole duty is to get the ball back to the field as fast as possible, not to steal the ball and run away with it.

              1. Irish Madridista ⭐
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                Nothing wrong with kicking a little scumbag trying to steal 15 minutes of fame.
                Footballers in Middle East, South America, Russia and Africa have to deal with a lot worse.

                I agree with ya 🙂

          imagine if it was Costa 😆

    2. Prøphet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Well, Lukaku is purely based on the fixture. Most of us believe he will be good for a goal at least this GW.

      Aguero - i think they will want revenge for the loss they had to WHU earlier in the season.

      Kane is a decent choice, but he isnt that strong away. His shots on target where not such big chances tho.

      Thats about it i believe

        Thanks for the detailed response Prophet.

          Here to help (as much as i can at least! 🙂 )

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kane can only score penalties 😉

    4. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hmmm....fair point. Haven't even considered Kane. He looked very lively against Sunderland

    5. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Swansea were absolute rubbish against Watford.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This.

        Jurado is the only reason that Swansea kept a CS.

        1. Prøphet
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          God, that is so true. He has been the worst player on the pitch by miles

    Aguero vs Lukaku

    Lukaku will have a important game against Man City next week.

    So, Aguero (C)...easy decision!!!

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If Lukaku has Man City next, how does that affect Lukaku for captaincy?
      Kun has Everton next!

      1. cruzex
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Everton dont have a pressure to win against swansea. So, Lukaku can be thinking more on next game against City.

        1. boombaba
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Why does he have more pressure when playing City? Hardly in a title race or a relegation battle are they!

        2. Doolittle
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Why on earth would there be more pressure to beat City than Swansea? 3 points is 3 points, it's not like City are our competitors. In fact, there's probably more pressure to beat Swansea.

          1. Esraj
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I think he is talking of C1C semifinal against City.

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I have the same front line La Roja

        Unsure about the Kane > Lukaku move. Might backfire.

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

          Then maybe option D?

          1. super zlatan
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            If you really want Lukaku I would do D

    4. Prøphet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I would ship Zouma, but not sure i would be picking Jags at all. Would be looking at Cresswell or someone like that.

      Option D is pretty nice, but i wouldnt do it in all honesty.

    5. AK ⭐
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd leave it as is. Maybe D. But I don't think Targett will keep Tadic out all the time.

    6. Messi & fabregas

    Aguero(C), Kane, Ighalo

    McCarthy, Bellerin, Surman, Williams

    1 FT, 1.8 ITB

    A) Kane ---> Lukaku (C)
    B) Ighalo + KdB ----> Lukaku(C) + 8.7 (Firmino/Mirallas/Barkley/etc) (-4)
    C) Ighalo + Bellerin----> Lukaku(C) + 4.2 (-4)
    D) Something else?
    E) Save FT

    Cheers 🙂

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐

  8. asif316uk

    best defender for 4.5m not wolly or targett

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Daniels..

      1. asif316uk
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        he's 4.6!

    2. Hasselbaink Forever
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Simpson perhaps

  9. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So, Emmanuel Emenike in West Ham.
    I really hoped it would have been Gignac.

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Much prefer Emenike in Fifa to Gignac 😉

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Aha, well I don't play fifa or any manager games(since 2001 I think)

      2. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        The thing is everyone will have him. Not just you.

        Would rather he stays away from the EPL tbh.

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Haha I play vs the CPU cause I like to keep my TV screens intact 🙂

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I hope they get Gignac, hate playing Emenike on fifa..

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        They wont, it is Emenike.

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hmm. I think it may be difficult to get Gignac out of Mexico now that he appears to be able to even get to the NT while playing there (which was unexpected, as he seemed to be terminally dropped before his move there). He doesn't look like he's missing Europe much.

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I would not miss Europe either from Mexico, if the footy goes well as it seems to be.
        Though from a spectators view I'd love to get him back on this side of the pond.

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Me too. But on the other hand, I can watch the highlights from matches there and it looks good. The football culture looks crazily passionate there. It's easy to understand he enjoys it, and Tigres are playing some quite nice football (at least in the highlights, lol).

          To be honest, after his brilliant last season at Marseille, I was surprised there were no serious takers for him in Europe, ones that would have competed with Tigres. I always thought he would have been a great player for Southampton, a serious upgrade from Pellè for free. Because Southampton is the one club in PL that has been crying for a good CF for ages. And they like to make good business.

    4. pompeyfan
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      never really thought that Gignac would be the one. He's not been there long and he's just won the league there. Also it's not like he's not earning great money already.

  10. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Team check

    Butland
    Bellerin. Toby. Daniels
    KDB. Ozil. Payet. Mahrez
    Kun. Kane. Ighalo

    Subs. Alli. Moreno. Ward

    1ft.
    1.5 in bank.

    G2G?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Start Alli over Mahrez.

      Why Bellerin over Moreno?

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Liverpool will concede IMO.

        I think Bellerin offers more attacking threat.

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          *switch Moreno back to bench

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Moreno over Bellerin imo.

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Innsie.

        Thoughts on the following for -4?

        Bellerin > 4.6
        Ighalo > Lukaku ?

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

          I'd keep Bellerin

        2. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Hmmm I would be tempted. I'd probably lean towards no. Ighalo could do well this week and I like the idea of having an Arsenal defender long term.

          1. super zlatan
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            But, but but its Lukaku!!!!!!

            Unless I shipped Toby instead of Bellerin.

            1. President John F. Keninnsie
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              I actually don't have high hopes for Lukaku this week. Can't really see him getting more than 1 goal.

              If you really want him in then why not sell Mahrez to a cheapie instead and promote Alli to 4th mid?

              1. super zlatan
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                I like Mahrez. Scared to lose him!! 🙁

                1. President John F. Keninnsie
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  Tricky situation then. Go with your gut 🙂

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Moreno over Bellerin.

      Alli over Mahrez

      Good to go.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        *switch Bellerin back to bench

    AoA?

    Cech
    Moreno - Alderweireld
    KdB - Payet - Ramsey - Alli - Wijnaldum
    Lukaku - Kane - Giroud

    Hennessey/Sagna/Simpson/Wollscheid

    Thoughts?

      Not bad.
      Might be more handy when the bgw come.

  12. snoppo

    Want to put Baines in who gets the chop Bellerin or Alderweireld?

    Arsenal got 4 home games in 6 but Spurs the better fixtures. Toby is frustrating me keep benching him when he gets points and blanks when I play him so veering towards him.

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Neither preferably but if you have to pick one of them.... I'd probably ship Toby.. Bellerin has his Coq back in front of him soon.

        Thanks lads 3 different opinions there so hasn't really helped but good to see peoples thoughts.

        3 plum home fixtures in the next 4 so think it's worth the risk even though they can't keep a clean sheet.

    2. denial

      10 years, 1 month ago

      I was going to lose Bellerin for Baines and buy Merte later for Arse defence.

      Not sure now

    3. Saint-Dutchie
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I do not own Toby...but I would keep him, especially for his attacking threat. I would ship put Bellerin, find him worse than Toby.

    4. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd keep both ahead of Baines.

    Good to go next week?

    Butland

    Daniels Aldy Bellerin

    Ozil Mahrez Wij KDB

    Vardy Lukaku Aguero

    Just listening to a Dutch radio interview with Ronald Koeman (Southampton manager) seems there is interest from Chelsea in his services.....did not see that coming I must admit.

  15. hillbillypete
    • 16 Years

    who are people rotating Butland with these days? currently have Bunn but not sure if best option.

    1. denial

      No-one

        why not........loads of options

          Had McCarthy for ages. Not been able to get rid and haven't lost out really.

          On WC I would probably be looking at Bunn

          1. hillbillypete
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            that has been exactly my situation

      Not with an extended barge pole.

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐

      Iggy has Toon first... THEN we'll talk.

    3. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He is talking to me. So tempting. Will be on the team this weekend. Not sure if he starts. I think he will be fired up to score.

    4. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Good option

    5. Saint-Dutchie

      Wait and see...but yes he is on my radar...

    6. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

  20. karvs155
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku or Aguero (C)?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That's the question of the week my friend.

      Going Kun here as I've paid for the privilege of doing so... but it's quite close.

    2. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I was set on Lukaku, but changed to Aguero yesterday as West Ham's 'shots conceded in central areas' is very high.

      And yes, that may well be the geekiest FPL sentence I have ever typed.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        No way is that the geekiest FPL sentence you've ever typed...
        Not even in your top 5 this week 😉 hehe

        1. Doolittle
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Hahaha, my cousin asked me who I was captaining and why, there was a deafening silence when I revealed the detail behind my reasoning.

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Talk about your cousin, do you have an older cousin or such who was grown in a smaller town in the proximity of London (can't fecking remember the name) and who's also an academic in humanities?

        2. meerlight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Same here. Similar reason, are was muckying around with the stats yesterday. Basically, the stats suggest that aguero will get more chances, and is a better finisher.

      2. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        You still have to work on your football geekiness.

    5. Nomar

      Kun all the way now.

  21. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    On a wildcard. Got Butland and Elliot and 0.6 in the bank. Go with that and just play Butland, so I've got a little bit of leeway for transfers going forward, or spend the money and get a decent second keeper?

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      keep, elliott may have a dgw

      1. Cilly Bonnolly

  22. Doolittle

    Morning all, bench Wijnaldum here?

    Ozil/Mahrez/Alli/Payet/Wijnaldum

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Tough but yes

    2. hillbillypete
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      its tricky........be tempted by ozil or mahrez

    3. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, his away form is shocking!

    4. Messi & fabregas
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    5. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, I reckon so.

      Ozil is worth considering too.

    6. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers guys.

    7. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No chance

      Mahrez

      1. Doolittle
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm, even with Wijnaldum's away form?

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I agree his away returns are poor but his home form in the last two games in a central role has been great, this may carry on against a struggling Watford

          Mahrez has poor form home and away!

          1. Doolittle
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers Jac, it's certainly between the 2.

    8. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      So... you sold KDB, bought Wijnaldum and going to bench him?
      Why did you buy him then?

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I mean this week. Why now.
        Still I would bench Wijnaldum. Mahrez lethargy is unfortunately worrying but Newcastle away is shocking

      2. Doolittle
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        To do Ighalo to Aguero.

        1. Belalugozi78
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I see..

    9. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think Newcastle will beat Watford just not sure if Wijnaldum will be involved (he should)

      Selling KDB is brave, he is a season keeper in my humble opinion

      1. Doolittle
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It was either lose KDB or Kane, I think KDB and Ighalo could really come back to bite me, but more comfortable losing those than Kane.

        1. RubeRx
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I see

          I've gone without Kane thus far and done fairly well

          I might consider benching Mahrez since I'm assuming you are playing Butland

        2. Belalugozi78
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Tough choice but probably better lose KDB. I'm benching him this week, so I recommend to bench his replacement also.

          I know Mahrez has no form and no pens now but Leicester had really hard games except those 2 in which he missed penalties - liv,MCI,tot.

    10. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bench Mahrez, I do.

      1. Doolittle
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks Whazza.

  24. melvinmbabazi

    Play one of Bellerin or Toby?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years

      TobyA

    2. boombaba

      toby

    3. karvs155

    4. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Toby, by miles.

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn't be so sure.
        Spurs 1 CS in last 7 away games and only 2 all the season

    5. MFC86

      I have same dilemma

  25. Messi & fabregas

    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bench ONE

    A) Ozil
    B) Mahrez
    C) Alli
    D) Payet

    i am playing Silva for sure

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez. He's done.

      1. Messi & fabregas
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        is he? we will find out soon 🙂

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Haha. I could be wrong of course but I felt like it was the right time to move on. Sold him this week on my wildcard. It could well bite me on the arse.

    2. Mytteristen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Alli for me

      1. Messi & fabregas
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        most of his points are away from home...this is the only thing holding me back...

    3. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez

    4. Whazza

    Anyone thinking of ditching Ali folks?

    I have the exact money to switch to Firmino but dunno..

    1. The Raging Bull
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      talk to us, why you wish to ditch?

      1. Tinmen
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I believe Firmino will score more points

        1. Costa's Counsellor
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Good start.

          And why do you think that?

    2. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't.

  27. asif316uk
    • 15 Years

    Barkley or Firmino

    1. Mytteristen

    What are people doing with Walker? Could trade to Jags

    Or do Arnie to Barkley?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm keeping

      Think he's still first choice

  30. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anytime goal scorer odds.

    Aguero 1.95
    Lukaku 2.10
    Kane 2.4

    Doesn't help much to do decide 🙁

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      But could be a nice treble 😉

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I think so - they all look quite generous to me.
