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.

    This Rashford trap will be bigger than the potential Ibra one 😛

    Team in tatters by Valdes, Fabio and now Ibra.. team as if now is:

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

    Bench: Pickf - Davies - De Roon - Bertrand

    1FT 0.5 ITB but no wildcard so was ideally looking to save but now not sure.. thoughts?

      Hopefully is last in the prem

        Wow.

    Lol. 1 of my close rivals made 1 trade spending $5.2m and had Carroll at 6.2. I wonder who he got 😆

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kane?

  6. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years

    Schalke 3 Ajax 1

  7. F4L

    Rashford or Negredo .......................................decisions

    1. Dazzler365
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      0.1 short for Carroll to rashford. Will probably just go negredo for some daft reason

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Negredo for me. The difference in goal involvement and penalties could be more important than the difference in the quality of their teams.

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Unless Valdes recovers in time... I may end up wanting four Middlesbrough players! 😳

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

    Best defender for the dgw?

    Already have Valencia.

    Thinking Gibson ?

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Gibson it is

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Gibson

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Double up with bailly

  9. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Front line now:

    Lukaku Negredo Ibra

    Ibra -> 1. Kane 2. Rashford for -4 or play Siggy?

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Play Siggy

  10. GE
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Gabbiadini or Rashford long term?

    1. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      long term probably neither, unless Ibra is out for a lot of time

  11. HazardAGuess
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I am already on a -4 (not for Ibra, phew) and had planned to do Foster > DDG. Given Ibra is now likely out...

    A) Foster > DDG & de Roon comes in for Ibra
    B) Ibra > Benteke/Negredo/Rashford & play Heaton
    C) Foster > DDG and Ibra > Benteke/Negredo/Rashford

  12. jmcclory123

    62 hours and United have to play again. Huge rotation coming.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years

      How do you know ? .

  13. drughi
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Siggy (C)

  14. Chris_White
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Annoying for us who saw the Ibra (c) as a trap and thought we could gain ground this week.

    Guess my whole ML will go Negredo as well now 🙁

    1. boredjames
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      negredo is a trap too

      1. Chris_White
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        we'll see

  15. Ruffio
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years

      • Pooodle
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If wildcarding this week, would you rather have:

        A) Benteke, Eriksen, Yoshida, Gibson

        B) Rashford, Hazard, Stephens, Friend

        1. Guvnor
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          A

        2. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          A

        Rashford is blowinggg

      • Tommyg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Scout request to reset the captains poll after tonight due to exceptional circumstances.

        As it is it's useless.

      • F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Crikey, FPL is too much thinking

      • Fowler23
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        When are the Europa semis ?

        1. dhamphiir
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          4 May and 11 May

      • the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Foster > DDG
        Ibra > Kane

        -4?

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Have Heaton as other GK and have WC

        2. Guvnor
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yep

      • Chris_White
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ajax bounce back with 10 men lol

      • Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ibra out could be a blessing in disguise. Minutes away to Burnley and then Mourinho trots out Rashford and Lingard for Citeh.

        Was never comfortable giving him the armband this GW.

      • Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Scoutcast seems seriously out of date now

        1. b✪mber
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          yeah, 90% spent on Ibra talk - now useless

      • thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Can't see myself bringing in DDG now, with the mufc defense in fire straits?

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

        FFS

        Bury it you dummy

      • Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Who was stupid enough to get Ibra in early as jonty said abut thoose who got Kane in early

      • F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I regret not taking Ibra out last week

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Same. For Kane

      • GHB
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This has all the same smell of Liverpool killing everyone on DGW last season.

        I'm staying away from Utd. Can easily see Rashford on bench Sunday and massive rotation
