The ScoutCast – Episode 222 – Intense

There’s no other word for it, this week’s ScoutCast is certainly an “intense” affair, gripped by the troublesome uncertainty served up by the most testing double Gameweek in memory.

Jonty, Andy and Az once again join me as we quickly review our Gameweek 33s, before indulging in the main course – chewing through your queries that dissect the dilemmas served up by the forthcoming fixtures.

The merits of Zlatan, the head-to-head between Negredo and Benteke and a full risk assessment of shedding Sanchez and Sigurdsson – these are all topics to furrow the brow as we indulge in the most passionate of ScoutCasts for some weeks.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Monday night. 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.

      Also Tekkers to consider

    Ibra knee.

    1. Dazzler365

      • 8 Years

      Back to the drawing board

      Certainly a lot of people will be knee jerking tonight

      Why did I make the early transfer for to avoid 0.1 price rise last night... why Tom why

      1. Ephurion
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        And he didn't even rise...

        Not living up to your username, then?

  3. Lovejoy

    Is Origi -> Benteke/Negredo worth a -4, and which one would you do if so?

    1. Lovejoy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Or Rashford if Ibra injured

    2. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Leaning to Negredo for facing easier defences and avoid doubling Palace attacks.

      1. Lovejoy
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Cheers, think I agree

  4. dark91

    Why was Ibra subbed off ?

    1. b✪mber
      • 8 Years

      for the lolz

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      knee injury

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years

      Bad injury.. leg not made to bend that way

      1. the axolotl
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        zlatan's leg can bend any way he wants.... surely right?

    5. dark91
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      And i was sad that Valdes was injured !!
      Hard luck to all those who have him/brought him in

  6. La Roja

    Ibra...shford

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 hours ago

    Need facer on the case with ibra

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      If general consensus was he couldn't play both anyway, surely he's no chance for Burnley.

      SGW v City not appealing anyway.

      Those reports were gold! Miss that.

    Fellaini down

  9. Rainer

    Pogba to shine in zlatans absense

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Rashford

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 hours ago

    Anyone f5'in Ben dinnery's Twitter waiting for updates on ibra?

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      No because there's no rush to find out

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Doesn't look good. Looked similar to zoumas.

      1. Zikry
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        exactly my thought

  12. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 hours ago

    Rashford!

    Now he is getting a go up front. Plays his whole youth career up front and they stick him on the wing and make him take corners. smh

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Didn't he get a go earlier in the season, for pretty much nowt?

      • soup natsi
        • 9 Years

        Deja vovren

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Is Missford an option now?

      1. THE REAL RON ⚽
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Nope, he's rather Rash with his finishing.

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Now I need to decide whether to play Ibra with De Roon first sub or play De Roon

      1. THE REAL RON ⚽
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Can't (c) MDR from the bench. 😉

    4. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Zlatan...Tonio Valencia

    5. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Ibra to Gray -4??

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        lol

    6. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Need an emergency scoutcast after tonight.

    7. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Anyone transfer Ibra in before tonight? Anyone take a hit for him?

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Only 80,000 plus

        1. Make Arrows Green Again
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 7 hours ago

          Mental

      2. mr messi
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        I got him in early. Looks like I'll be taking a hit to replace him 🙁

    8. drughi
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Looks like I'll be saving my FT before a dgw lol, never happened before

    9. jmcclory123
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Have to feel that Pogba goes for the elaborate thing all too often

    10. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Can barely rely on any United player to play both games with extra time here now..

      DDG one of the few, but who else?

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Darmian

        1. Sleep Talk
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 hours ago

          Both? I expect Valencia to be rested for Burnley, but probably back for City. Young will probably also play on Sunday.

          Herrera definitely one for both games.

      2. Licious Lizard
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Herrera?

      3. Zikry
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Herrera

      4. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Ander (TC)

      5. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Young

    11. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Hit city now for many. Love it as I have still got my FT in tact!

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Me too

    12. Hobolicious
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      A) Rashford
      B) Negredo
      C) Benteke

      1. Legomane
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Based on rashfords finishing..not him..

        1. Legomane
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 7 hours ago

          Cue rash winner...

          1. Yank Revolution
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 6 hours ago

            Nostradamus!

            1. Legomane
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 6 hours ago

              Inevitable. Realised as soon as I'd posted...guess the number of opportunities he had he was bound to hit the target eventually!

    13. BrutalLogiC
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      biggest flop this season? Sissoko? Ibe? Bats? Pogba? Baston?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Redmond and Tadic.

      2. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Bats hasn't been given a chance. Sissoko and Ibe are good shouts.

        1. BrutalLogiC
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 hours ago

          well he gets chances every week in training right

      3. Starvaiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 13 Years

      Things just got a bit less interesting.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        But less of an headache i guess

      2. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Did you get Ibra back in?

        1. andy85wsm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 hours ago

          Early transfers not a good idea this week so no 🙂

      3. THE REAL RON ⚽
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        *fun
        *diverse
        🙂

        Negredo / Benteke (c) is what DGWs are made for! 😛

      4. drughi
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        agree, everyone will be keeping sanchez and lukaku now for example

      5. VS10_
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        I was enjoying the divide, now it's just boring.

      6. Darklord_bg
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Noooooo

      7. Ephurion
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Interesting enough for a Let's talk FPL session right now? :O
        Looking forward to it tomorrow ^^

    15. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      *holding back the tears*

      Any chance he makes it for the second game?

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Doesn't look likely

      2. Numb
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        You got him Lawro? Didn't look that bad to me.

        1. Lawrø
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 hours ago

          Yep, got caught out on an early transfer 🙁

      3. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Just hit him out, no need to panic.

      4. Spike ⚽️
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Only from the stands

    16. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Could be OK for the weekend

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Doubt it

      2. the axolotl
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        i stupidly already got him. HAS to be ok

      3. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 hours ago

        Hyperextdended knee needs a lil rest...possible for City Id say.

    17. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 hours ago

      Everyone get rashford then?

      1. MTPockets
          7 years, 7 hours ago

          Not for Lukaku, no.

      2. Tommo1888
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        Ibra likely to be out for a while ? Missed the game !

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

          The game is still on.

        2. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years

          Still time for more injuries yet.

      3. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 hours ago

        As an non Ibra owner and someone who was gonna ignore him anyway it annoys me most as an early Kane owner...
