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.

    would you ditch Vardy or Lukaku for Negredo ?

      Vardy

      1. TerryVenables
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 18 hours ago

        Brought in both Rojo and Ibrah for a -4. Recommend using my wildcard now instead of GW36?

    2. GE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      None

    Jose wont want to throw chance of 3 points away and given the awful form of Martial, is it likely that Rooney starts against Burnley?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      That would be throwing them away even more.

      If Rashford is in anyway able then he'll start both. If he's not able, Rooney would probably be ahead of Martial in the pecking order.

  3. Rainer

    Hold Lyon!

  4. the snazzy viking

    7-7 Diakhaby, getting intense here

  5. Stevee10001

    It's really down to rashford v negredo at this point

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      How shocking

      1. Stevee10001
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 18 hours ago

        Just tell me what to do so I can go to sleep...

    2. GE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      You forgot Tekkers!

    3. Dazzler365

      Bad state of affairs

    4. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years

      That injury has riggity riggity wrecked a lot of transfer plans...son

  6. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 18 hours ago

    Any help here chaps:

    Valdes
    Fabio - Valencia - Alonso
    Siggy - Alexis - Zaha - Eriksen
    Kane - Ibra - Benteke

    Bench: Pickf - Davies - De Roon - Bertrand

    1FT 0.5 ITB but no wildcard so was ideally looking to save but after Ibra, Fabio and Valdes not sure.. thoughts?

    1. Transfer Ibra >
    2. Transfer Fabio >
    3. Transfer Valdes >
    4. Transfer Valencia >
    5. Save and play De Roon, benching Ibra and hoping for the best with the others.

  7. merin

    Who to give the armband to?

    Jakupovic
    Alonso Valencia Gibson
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen Zaha King
    Ibra Kane

    (Grant Smith Barnes Mawson)

    FT: 0, ITB: 2.4

    1. cjw176
      • 12 Years

      Kane

  8. gilean
    • 7 Years

    Have Origi. Should I get Rashford or Gabbiadini in or should I keep? Have just the amount of money to do it now. A little afraid Rashford will be rotated

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      Same here. Think I will keep this week and perhaps transfer to Gabbiadini v Hull at home next week. United too many fixtures

  9. Alnair
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 18 hours ago

    Might play Heaton against United now

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      Same

    2. blizzle
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      Oh good call.

  10. InSaneMan-e
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 18 hours ago

    So guys. Any preference between my forward options?
    A) Benteke
    B) Kane

    Have Negredo Lukaku and Ibra currently

    1. Pigeon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      B then do Negredo to Tekkers

      1. Pigeon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 18 hours ago

        I mean if Ibra isn't available get Kane

  11. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 18 hours ago

    TOSIC MISSES, big chance for lyon, 7-7

  12. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 18 hours ago

    A) Carroll -> Negredo
    B) Siggy/Carroll -> Zaha/Rashford (-4)
    Any advice?

    1. cjw176
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      B

      1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 18 hours ago

        Cheers, will probably do the Siggy Zaha move anyway, still not confident on Rashford though

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 18 hours ago

        a

    3. Pards Against Humanity
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      Damn Rojo and Ibra both looked bad, worth waiting on news or press the button?

      1. Vinyl78LP
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 18 hours ago

        As already spent -4 I'm taking a step back and will make any further change Saturday morning.

    4. jam
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      Think Zlatan is definitely out next week?

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 18 hours ago

        Yes

      2. dhamphiir
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 18 hours ago

        It looks like long term injury like Zouma had last season

        1. jam
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 18 hours ago

          Hmm. On WC so might pop Rashford in then. Zlatan should rise tonight but there you go.
          Ta.

    7. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years

    8. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

    9. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      De Gea captain looking likely. Pity he's not in the poll.

    10. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      7-7 Mitrovic saved! Another chance for the French side

    11. Judders

      Evening all. Was waiting until after tonights match to transfer in United players and I am glad I did. Ibra's injury looks pretty terrible. He hyper extends his knee. Ive attached a video here. I very much doubt he will be available for the DGW and quite possibly the rest of the season.

      • 7 Years

    14. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      I only owned 2 United players going into tonight.

      I know what has happened to Ibra

      But can someone tell me what happened to Rojo?

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 18 hours ago

        Knee got smacked into by charging player (side of knee)...he was down, went off, came on, was limping -- and got pulled.

    15. HavertzHero
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      Done Randolph - DDG with FT

      Kaku Kane Tekkers Front line

      question is would you drop Sane or Coutinho for Zaha / Townsend -4?

      Other Midfielders are Sanchez Alli (tom carroll)

      Or stick with what i have

    16. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      Lyon win

    17. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 18 hours ago

      Who would you get now?

      A) Tekkers

      B) Rashford

      I'm feeling Tekkers still as Rashford may still be rotated with Rooney / Martial?

    18. Game of Throw_ins

      • 9 Years
