The ScoutCast – Episode 195 – Zlatan

Inevitably, Zlatan Ibrahimovic stalks Episode 195 of the ScoutCast. Lauding over us like a Eric Cantona wannabe, the big Swede has wasted know time in getting Granville, Jonty, Andy and myself all in a tizzy.

Do you dare go without the Zlatan/Aguero double act? How do you adapt your midfield to accommodate the pricey pair? Will a wolf enter the Scout hut and interrupt the broadcast?

These questions and more are all answered over the course of another 70 minutes, as Jonty serves up our first “Rough with the Smooth” Gameweek tales from the community, before throwing us the best of your questions gathered throughout the week.

In other news, we’re still 100 episodes short of Last of the Summer Wine’s 295. Stick with us guys, we’re nearly almost there. Coincidentally, we also stopped being funny back in episode three.

This episode was first broadcast via YouTube on Tuesday evening. Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to get the heads up on future live episodes.

    Bottomed.

    Which would you prefer this week?

    A) Gray
    B) Benteke -4

    1. BB-8
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A. No one's seen Benteke play for his new team yet so gawddd knows why people are picking him.

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        A

      2. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. Yeah, but easy enough to assume/guess he will flourish

        1. Jafalad
          • 14 Years

          ASSUME = Makes an ASS out of U and ME.

            Indeed. But then this whole game is prediction based

      3. OzilFozzil
        • 10 Years

        This!

    3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      So if you went B) that means you need Benteke to start and score/assist to save the -4. Is it worth it?

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        That is my question 🙂

        I'm 50/50, but the overriding opinion on here is to stick. Still, a little of that is due to the risk averse nature too.

        I'll probably stick. Cheers all

    WC team gtg?

    Foster
    Shaw Stones Friend
    Hazard Özil Ramírez Mirallas
    Agüero Ibrahimovic Benteke

    Jakupovic Capoue Amat Pieters

    1. I am 42

      7 years, 8 months ago

      understand that coutinho negredo barkley is more popular here

      imo ozil benteke mirallas will get more points in the next 3 weeks

      i need to build a team for near future

    2. Rich_20

      Friend a doubt apparently

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Nice. I think I'd go for Djibodji over Pieters. And Snodgrass/Redmond (funds depending) over Ramirez

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Actually, I'd go for Redmond over Mirallas too

    4. Pavsboot
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Reckon your on the money about that trio.

      I'd be a little worried about picking Ramirez on a WC but apart from that looks good.

    5. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      thanks all

      any mid to replace Ramírez?

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Snodgrass is usually a decent fpl pick.

    6. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Like it except for Gaston.

    7. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      noted thanks all

      will do some minor changes

  3. BB-8
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Oscar -> Mirallas worth a hit?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not for me

      1. BB-8
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Barkley worth the hit you think?

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          No. Oscar isn't worth selling for a hit with his fixture. Only for a free

          1. BB-8
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Doesn't look like he'll start though 😐

            1. Respect My Authoritah
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              Based on what? No way to no at all. 50/50

              1. Respect My Authoritah
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 8 months ago

                *know. Team News is a guess

              2. BB-8
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 8 months ago

                Chelsea forums, fans opinions on here, fab/ Bats form. Can't know for sure though

                1. Camp No No
                  • 10 Years
                  7 years, 8 months ago

                  Fans don't select the lineup though.

                2. Respect My Authoritah
                  • 10 Years
                  7 years, 8 months ago

                  Personally, I think Matic will drop out for Cesc due to the fixture

                  1. BB-8
                    • 8 Years
                    7 years, 8 months ago

                    So keep Oscar ? 🙂

    2. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      you think mirallas will score at least a goal?

      1. BB-8
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I think he'll be involved in the goals. Only problem is the number of wingers Everton have. Del Mirallas Bolasie Lennon for 2 spots

        1. I am 42
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          an assist is just 3 points, and most likely no bonus

          not worth a hit

    3. Rich_20
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No way

      1. BB-8
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        How about Oscar to Barkley?

    4. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No. Too lightweight for ff. Then again, so is Oscar.

      1. BB-8
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Jaffa. Would love you advice on this one. Barkley, Mirallas or Tadic for Oscar ? Have Redmond. Oh, and did you get in Ibra?

        1. Jafalad
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Probably Barclay, BB. Yes, I ended up with Kubra. 60 benched points from the first two gameweeks though is a real downer.

          How are you getting on?

          1. BB-8
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Fell to about 950k but not too disheartened, still early days. Yup, benched 40 points myself. Real bummer

      2. super zlatan

        Nope

  4. DAV087
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Would love some opinions. Currently on wc.

    A) Valencia Sterling Lamela Barkley Diomande(8th attacker)
    B) Valencia Ozil Barkley Januzaj Diomande(8th attacker)
    C) Stones Sterling Barkley Benteke Capoue(8th attacker)
    D) Stones Mane Bolasie Sterling

    1. DAV087
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      D) Stones Mane Bolasie Sterling Diomande(8th attacker)

    2. Rich_20
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Too much City if you have kun and stones. D but Barkley over Sterling.

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Sorry to be a pain - I'd go:

      Valencia Ozil Lamela Redmond Diomande

    4. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      B because:
      C & D include Stones and Man City have never been a side for CS's
      and I prefer Ozil and Jan over Sterling & Lamela

    5. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Ouch...some undesirable picks there. There must be better options available to you?

  5. George James
    • 9 Years

    Am I good to go for weekend guys?

    Foster
    Shaw/Morgan/Stones/Friend
    Hazard/Redmond/Firminio/Bolasie
    Aguero(c)/Ibrahimovic

    Heaton/Gray/Capoue/Amat

    1. BB-8
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Gray over Friend

    2. George James
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You think? Got a 0-0 feeling from the Brom Boro game

      1. BB-8
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Valdes is out I think. Can see Brom scoring

  6. bsjackson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    1. Play Capoue over Sigurdsson?
    2. Transfer out Gray for Rondon?
    3. Keep Gray, transfer Siggy out for someone? Current mid Barkley, Siggy, Tadic, Townsend, Capoue

    1FT, 0.8m ITB

  7. Ready Manager One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Simple question:

    Gray or Capoue?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Gray

    2. makaveli123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Gray

    3. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Brown Capoue in Hoilett

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

      Easy pick.

    5. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Neither have a great fixture. Gray.

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Gray

    Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish, ""We had a bid from Spurs but £12m - it's ridiculous. I can't imagine that they're serious, There's no chance whatsoever of Wilfried Zaha leaving the club in this transfer window. I can absolutely reassure every Palace fan he is an integral part of our plans."

    Haz Firmino Lamela Redmond Capoue
    Kun Ibra Negredo

    0.4M ITB. I'll need cash soon for that Firmino upgrade. Ozil on my radar. So is Ollie Gru. Where can i find the dosh? Lamela -> starting cheap everton mid?

    Where else?

      2. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Yes. Really tough call. But SUN(H) is a great fixture and i just remembered how i ignored Mahrez last year only because he was so obvious. Get the same feeling with Redmond.

        I still hope DelBoy does will. Don't mind buying him back soon.

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Lamela to Townsend, and hope he keeps up with tekkers.

          1. Lateriser 12
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

            Will still leave me 0.1M off Ozil. Unless Townsend drops. Which he might.

      Will that give you the funds?

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        To Bolasie yes it will.

    3. Chucky
      • 10 Years

      Bojan,Bolasie and Townsend.

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Bojan has my interest yes. I almost went Townsend isntead of Redmond.

    4. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Lamela is the only route I can spot but Saints yesterday signed another Striker...so Redmond days might be over as well.

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

        Doubt that one. I just got him in yesterday btw.

      2. FPL Hitman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Boufal can play on the wings as well. He is injured currently so m assuming he will b fully fit to start only by end of next month or the month after.

    5. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I went Mirallas LR

      You could get bolasie to save more coin?

    6. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Stones to Djibodji. Mid/Sun/Swa rotation is fantastic

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

        Thanks for this. Will have a look. Don't rate that Sunderland defence though. Think we'll see our first Stones cleanie this weekend.

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Yep agreed. Sun defence will be leaky until injuries return - you won't play him until gw6 though.

          And yes, I reckon Stones will get a cleanie this week too. So not one I'd do this week, but just future plans for cash raising

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

      As most said LR, has to be a Lamela downgrade. Stones is a long term pick, keep the faith and he'll bring home the points.

    8. The Darkest Knight
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I have done REDMOND+RAMIREZ >>> BOLASIE+JANuJAZ

          • 13 Years

          Dropped redmond because I think Austin will share his gametime... and Southampton fixtures not great.

            • 12 Years

            Irrespective..dropping Redmond before SUN isn't a move i'd recommend. Good luck.

      Hi Laterz,

      May have to go Lamela->Ramirez if you want the cash.

      I'm hoping Long and Townsend will deliver the goods this week.

        I think Townsend will. (As Long as Long is assisting Redmond)

      Look up.
      From the BBC site:

  12. I am 42

    7 years, 8 months ago

    someone enlighten me please

    shaw is not even in top 10 when Valencia is top in defender watch list

    this is madness lol

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Valencia haul incoming

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Think they don't do more than one from same team

      1. I am 42
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        i guess you are right

        but surely there are exception

        like suarez and sturridge combo

        1. A.T
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          It'll probably happen if they carry on. Still only 2 games in though.

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Have Valencia but completely agree..
      If Valencia is there, Shaw should be too

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

      Stats. Watch the game. Position map.

    5. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Shaw is an injury prone player and the evidence from the stats/heat map suggests that Valencia is more likelier to deliver more attacking returns.

      Keep this quiet though.

  13. Indian_Ronaldo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Mane or Pogba

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years

      Mane

    2. Moin

    Play Musa This week as well and go to the international break with 2 Fts or Remove him now for someone?

    Is Musa likely to fall in price again before Monday/Tuesday?

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Get rid.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thanks TFF 🙂

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Musa -> Tekkers/Luka when you find the dosh. Gots to be.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I can do Musa to Tekkers, only thing I am looking at is that West Ham are out of Europa and after GW3 they have some good fixtures...So that's why I was considering keeping Musa for another week.

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

          Ah Remy tempting you. Tekkers has a great fixture..

          1. Moin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            They are linked with Zaza, Bony, Remy...If Bony joins..I think he will get many points..hence the wait..

    3. HNI
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Cant you bench Musa and Play 4-3-3? or maybe 3-5-2...Next week after internationals it will be more clear who to go for from Luka/Benteke...Can help me on my query below bro?

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I will play Musa..no point benching against Swans and 3 of my defenders are in doubt to start..

    4. A.T
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Remove

  15. Live Lad
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    How can I fit in Ozil/ Payet? Which mid'er to let go?

    Foster, Jaku
    Ivanovic, Shaw, Stones, Friend, Amat
    Hazard, Redmond, Barkley, Lamela, Capoue
    Aguero, Zlatan, Gray

    Wouldn't do yet but:

    Ivanovic + Redmond + Barkley to Smith 4.5 + Ozil + Snodgrass

    Doing only when Ozil/ Payet starts doing something. Any suggestions?

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Wait till they start getting points
      Obviously it's tough having Haz, Ozil and Payet, but if in theory if you're willing to part with Haz (which Im not), then you can have both.

      If wanting Haz and 1 of Ozil/Payet, get rid of Redmon/Lamela

  16. The Silent Assassin
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Tadic or Redmond?

    1. makaveli123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Tadic. But Redmond is a great pick if you want to spend the extra cash someplace else.

      1. The Silent Assassin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Can do...

        Tadic > Redmond
        Gray > Ibra

        That's my thinking at the minute

  17. JJO
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Chances of starting this gw?
    Benteke
    Lukaku

    Also is Pardews press today?

    1. faver
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      70%
      100%

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Pressers will tell, I don't anyone has posted the timings yet

    3. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      my guess 90% for both

    4. JJO
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks guys

  18. super zlatan
    • 13 Years

    Mahrez > ozil next gw very likely as one of my ft.

    Anyone else thinking the same?

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yep, I'm eyeing a similar move. To Ozil or Payet.

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I am thinking Firmino to Ozil...Dint start with any Lei cover and most likely wont till GW 38...Can help me select below?

    3. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      As soon as i find my dosh.

    4. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Yeah, good Move!

    5. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Thinking the same, but hoping he won't be injured on intl duty..

    6. Respect My Authoritah

      Just got Ozil this week. Excited about it

    7. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe. Tekkers need to be scouted first...

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Tekkers is an easy switch for me with 2FT

        But would really like ozil

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

          Where are you finding all this dosh.

          1. super zlatan
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            If I go with ozil I can do

            Mahrez > pogba
            Gray > tekkers

            1. super zlatan
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              *go without

                get a room.

        2. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Tekkers is a one trade switch for me, but If I want Ozil as well the cat is among the pigeons.

      2. ViperStripes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Gray > Tekkers is the move I'm eyeing up for Saturday evening (i.e. before price changes mean I can't afford the move)

  19. HNI
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Play which of

    1) Snoddy (MUN)
    2) Capoue (ARS)

    Currently on one for only reason of set pieces...Capoue seems more in form though

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Snotface.

      1. HNI
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks...Snortgrass sounds better 😉

        1. super zlatan
          • 13 Years

          🙂

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      If this was GW1 i'd have said Snoddy, but Capoue is in the best form of his last 2/3 years

    3. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Snoddy!

    Wow, Swansea really have horrendous fixtures the next six gameweeks. Can't get much worse than that.

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

      Yep. Amat is pretty much going to be stuck on my bench all the way it seems..

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

      Tell me about it! Never seen anything worse than that haha! Bottom three in 6 weeks

  21. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Valencia or Shaw

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

      Valencia. Cheaper. Better.

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        have Shaw in there at the moment (at 5.5) so no difference on price. Would you still go Valencia?

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

          No. Keep.

          1. Francescoli
            • 9 Years

            cheers

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    RMT for this GW pls. 0.5M in bank 1 FT...

    Foster
    Shaw Stones Morgan
    Hazard Redmond Townsend Gaston
    Aguero (VC) Zlatan (C) Costa

    Bench: Heaton Friend Capoue Amat

    Was thinking of either dropping Gaston for Bolasie? Other options is to save to have 2FT with International break coming.... Thoughts?

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Costa makes you front line awesome
      Nah, your team is good enough to save that FT tbh

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Save FT

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks... Will save this week and then look from next gw on what to do....

        Cpt? Kun or Zlatan- only thing i m unsure about

        1. ViperStripes
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          If in doubt, then always Aguero

  23. Moin

    7 years, 8 months ago

    Lucas Perez will sign a four-year deal with Arsenal today, reports Marca in Spain.
    Arsenal have triggered the Deportivo striker's £17m buyout clause.
    Marca claim he will have his medical later today.

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

      As with anything to do with Wenger, it ain't confirmed till you see it on arsenal.com

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Anything on that 35m mustafi signing?

  24. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Might need my bench this weekend:
    Friend - doubtful which means...
    Evans drops in, but he's also doubtful which means
    Lenihan drops in (vs ManU) and Capoue stays on the bench.

  25. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    A) Lukaku and Bolasie/other 6.0 mid (already have Redmond)
    B) Rondon and Barkley

    1. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      with B have 1.1 in the bank

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      So hard...
      B probably

    3. BigManBakar

      B).

    1. BigManBakar

      No.

    2. George James

      No way

    3. DevilGin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Gray has 1 goal and 1 assist return last GW, too early to sack him...

    4. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Nah
      especially since i havn't heard that he's banned from this weeks game

    5. OzilFozzil

    I can't change my captain and it's currently stuck on Firmino... am I screwed or could he turn up?

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      It's a sign. Leave it

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not screwed actually
      Last season Firmino turned up a lot when Couts was injured.
      And Spurs away smells of goals

      1. Woody01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Fingers crossed guys!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Sky FF isn't giving me the option to. I made a change last week and it hasn't reset for some reason.

    7 years, 8 months ago

    I went abroad for three weeks, and frankly drank way too much, went to a wedding, and missed the deadline for the opening gameweek. Just had a placeholder team. Now I've played my wildcard, because I'm starting with a bit of a handicap.

    Would very much appreciate any input into this team:

    Foster - Jakupovic

    Valencia - Collins - Azpilicueta - Souare - Amat
    Lamela - Redmond - Barkley - Capoue - Hazard
    Aguero - Zlatan - Negredo.

    Any glaring mistakes? Any smart changes? Any help is appreciated!

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Azpi->Stones or Williams
      Not really a fan of Lamela. Use the Azpi money to upgrade to Mahrez if you can.

      1. NorwEagles
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks! I feel like the City defence has looked a little shaky, but Stones is a very tasty prospect at 5.0

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No mistakes. Good team
      Out of curiosity, who's the 3rd defender starting?

      1. NorwEagles
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        It's on Souare right now. Figure if Mandanda plays, Palace might have a decent chance at keeping Bournemouth out.

        1. InSaneMan-e
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Fair enough
          Amat and Collins will struggle for cleanies anyways

  29. InSaneMan-e
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Need an opinion
    In one of my leagues, everyone will have Aguero captain (in fact, none of them even have Zlatan).

    Is that enough reason alone to Captain Zlatan? (i have both). it is an away fixture whereas Kun is at home

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

      Yeah why not. Ibra isn't going to be a bad captain pick vs Hull by any means, and its a nice differential in your mini league

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No. If Kun delivers and Zlat doesn't, you will be well and truly stuffed given the high Kun ownership.
