Just minutes after the final whistle blew on Gameweek 21, Jonty, Andy and myself braved the airwaves to pick the bones out of our meagre midweek tallies.

Brought back down to earth by a decidedly lacklustre floodlit affair, we rouse ourselves to debate the Aguero armband, the rapidly increasing speed of the Payet bandwagon and the theories behind the stuttering United backline.

We even make our dedication to the departed David Bowie, before quickly ushering out our disappointment of the Gameweek just past by previewing the one that lies ahead.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first broadcast via our YouTube channel on Wednesday evening.

    This is how I think we will lineup this weekend. 🙂

    Hart
    Zabaleta Otamendi Demichelis Kolarov
    Yaya Touré Fernando
    De Bruyne Silva Sterling
    Agüero

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Took Silva out for Payet. Watch him haul 🙁

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers EDHID though. Lineup as expected 🙂

        1. Every Dog Has Its Day
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          I'm still unsure on Kolarov though.

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Surely he'll start as Clichy played yesterday?

            1. Every Dog Has Its Day
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              I have my doubts with Kolarov, we kept a CS yesterday but he played average.

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Fernandinho hurt?

      1. Every Dog Has Its Day
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Injured he's 50/50 at the moment.

    3. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Zaba/Kolarov will help the attack

  2. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Dann > Evans to fund Silva > Sanchez in a couple of weeks, how does that sound?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Well you'll need to fund Evans injury 😉 Seriously though, would rather get Fuchs or Akè

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I'd need him after this GW and he's got quite nice fxtures then. I already have Simpson, so Fuchs' out of the question and I just sold Ake a cuple of week ago 🙂

  3. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Walker and Davies played as the fullbacks for Spurs yesterday.

    Which fullbacks do we think will play tomorrow? Walker and Rose?

    1. Slam
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I hope so. I've got Rose playing

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Rose will play I reckon. Not sure on the Trippier/Walker situation.

  4. Daaf
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Best Dann replacement?

    A. Toby Alderweireld - 6.1
    B. Walker - 5.2
    C. Azpi - 5.7
    D. Simpson - 4.1
    E. Cresswell - 5.5
    F. Van Dijk - 5.4

    Currently on a Spurs defender.

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely B at this point, imho.

    2. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years

      A

    3. Flynniesta
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I brought Toby in last GW &'although he only brought me 2pts I'm quite happy with his potential...A for me

  5. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Who do you think will score more this week?

    A) Kane
    B) Lukaku
    🙂

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      A.

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yes my thinking also.

      Don't even want to share but you can see my link if you want to see the definition of pitiful 🙂

      1. Still Unsure
        10 years, 6 months ago

        The last two weeks haven't been kind huh

        1. Cevap
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          That's an understatement. Not used to this type of adversity since playing for the past 7 years

  7. Flynniesta
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I really want Alli this week but don't know who to shift out of my midfield:
    Arnie, Yaya, Ozil, Payet & Mahrez (just brought Payet in for Wally in my 1st of 2 FT)
    Are any worth moving on?

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Arnie

      1. Flynniesta
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers. That was my thinking but thought I'd get shot down with that.

    2. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Has to be arnie

  8. Blue Moon Rising
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Butland Gomes

    Alderwiereld Bellerin Ward Dawson Creswell

    Mahrez Ozil Ali KDB Ramsey

    Lukaku Kane Igahlo

    2 FTs 1.7 in the bank

    Who would you downgrade in defence to free up cash for Sergio?

    1. Blue Moon Rising
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Mahrez to Payet?

      1. Flynniesta
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        That's not what he asked..oh wait, you did the asking 🙂

  9. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Rewatching the City game and Roger East missed another clear cut foul by Besic when Kun was on a breakaway in the first half

    He was determined not to give anything to City, clearly doesn't have Kun on his fantasy team

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      His rival clearly captained Kun.

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        on another day, another ref would have sent him off for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity

  10. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Why did no. 2 overall WC for 4 transfers? Why???

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Clearly their team is that good it doesn't need too many changes! Saves some hits and you wait and watch them rack up the points this week! It hurts though, doesn't it!

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Went on holidays on the 4th.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        For rest of the season?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Just the GW, already made a transfer this week.

          1. Team Cruel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Oh right. Doubt they will finish anywhere near top 10. No chips left.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 17 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              DGWs will kill him.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Leader in my mini-league only made 4 transfers on his week 2 wildcard and it worked out pretty well as he's now ranked at 4k. IMO People's biggest mistake on a WC is doing too much to their team.

      This is his history: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/850902/transfers/history/

  11. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Raneri the manager of the season?

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Brenda

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah when Leicester win the league

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Without a doubt

    4. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Tinkerman or Slaven. I think both were amongst the lowest odds on first sacking

  12. pax888
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone doing Ozil > Payet?

    Can't see Ozil doing much the next 2 gameweeks.

    1. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Keeping Ozil but mahrez has one last chance this gw

  13. Numb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    When picking your captain....form or fixture? Which is more important to you?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Both, though have no idea why I'm captaining Kane without form...

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Both equally? Suggests fixture is more important for you with Kane

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah fixture has the edge

    2. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Fixtures and class for me

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Good point re class. Aguero then?

        1. Syd.
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          That's who I'm going with

    3. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Both have to be considered but fixture takes a slight priority for me

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Me too I think. 60/40 maybe

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Sounds about right mate

    4. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Complete and utter fear ... Aguero's 5 against Newcastle is burnt on the front of my brain for the rest of the next 5 seasons. Those without would know what I'm talking about ... those with fear the potential 20-pointer when you didn't captain him!

  14. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I have given up on expecting big scores

    If it happens so be it

    1. fickle
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      i'll be slightly upset if i get consecutive gameweeks with 0 clean sheets, 0 goals, 0 assists, 0 baps

      1. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I got 1 CS

        Wes Morgan

      2. Cevap
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I shall rejoice ...though I did get an assist fromy my gk

      3. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Already had that. Well i got 1 CS in gw20 🙁

  15. fickle
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Looks like it will be a Liverpool v Everton final in which case we would lose an extra game for a DGW

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I reckon it'll be City v Stoke (maybe Liverpool).

    2. Krul Runnings
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Won't be a DGW in GW25 anyway.

      So both wrong I'm afraid

      1. fickle
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        the cup final is in GW27 isnt it?

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah, just won't be a DGW in GW 25

  16. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Why do I have Alli if Im never gonna take him off my bench? i dont understand this game...

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Bench boost option includes the squad scores. Play on the DGW.

    2. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Good cover imo. You will need it one rainy sunday

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      If you aren't playing him this GW you might as well sell him for a cheap foddler.

  17. BDMC5
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    De bruyne to fall tonight or the number thrown out due transfers out on wildcards?

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years

    2. Blue Moon Rising
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Same question for me. I'm inclined to hang fire at the minute

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Nah stick.

    4. il Brutto
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'm getting him in for Ighalo. Might get Ighalo for Kane the week after if there is nothing more pressing.

    5. The Left Duke #3
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers for the thoughts. I'm all over the place with it.

      Ighalo on form and away fixture, the others should score more points!

    3. Test Eagles

      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku ... away to Chelsea

      or

      Mahrez ... form dip and away game

    Thoughts on this Saturday acca:

    Hull to beat Charlton
    Middlesborough to beat Bristol City
    West Ham to beat Newcastle
    PSG to beat Toulose

    10/1

      How much you putting on it?

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years

          Looks great!

            😀

    2. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Got something very similar.
      The toon could get a draw but otherwise pretty safe

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        That's the one I'm most worried about but hammers look better for Payet being back.

        1. KingOllie
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah dont think bookies have accounted for Payets return yet

          1. Burger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Agreed 2/1 on its own looks like great odds

    3. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Check out northampton away at dag. Great odds

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        How did I miss that one, Dagenham only scored 1 goal at home in last 5! Great odds!

        1. KingOllie
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          iv just put your bet on + northampton.

          £20 at 20/1 🙂

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Same odds, £40 on. Good luck bud 😀

  23. The 12th Man

    Play Butland(ars) or use my FT to do McCarthy > Schmichael and play Kasper?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Latter imo

    2. Slam
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'm in the exact same position as you.
      I'm not sure tbh, be interesting to see what people say.

      1. Your Man With The Hair
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Butland for the saves

    3. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Butland

  24. Hibbo
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    A bit of a MD1 benching headache in UFPL..

    Yaya, DeBruyne, Alli, Payet, Mahrez, Aguero, Kane, Vardy...

    One has to eat the pine.

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yaya

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        No actually no idea

    2. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I actually cant answer that

    3. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Vardy.

      1. Hibbo
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        It's Vardy currently but Villa are fecking pants.

        Powerhouse side for me this week so probably score 20pts.

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          I assume we lost?

          1. Hibbo
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            We didn't lose we got a complete lacing.

            1. Ayew Serious
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              You through, out or still fighting?

              1. Hibbo
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                Out. I can safely say I'll never try my hand at captaincy again.

                1. Ayew Serious
                  • 11 Years
                  10 years, 6 months ago

                  I'm sure it wasn't your fault 😆

                  1. Hibbo
                    • 13 Years
                    10 years, 6 months ago

                    I'll stick to focusing on my mini leagues looking at too many teams take the eye off the main thing and that's trying to pull the cash in.

                    I had 17 gws to sort that out.

    4. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Vardy or Alli ... tough one though

  25. Test Eagles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    More benching headaches, need to bench one from:

    1) Bellerin (stk)
    2) Smith (NOR)
    3) Simpson (avl)

    All equally capable of a CS right now

  26. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Stupid to consider bringing in Ivanovic now with a tie against Everton?

    Would leave this week's lineup as:

    Butland
    Alderweireld, Bellerin, Ivanovic
    Mahrez, Payet, KDB, Alli
    Aguero, Lukaku, Ighalo

    Subs: De Gea, Ozil, Dawson, Ward

      All about attacking returns, and who you are selling.

        • 11 Years

        Exactly, fancy him to pull on some decent pts. Bertie makes way.

          CS is VERY unlikely.

  27. Krul Runnings
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Play 2:

    Bellerin (Stoke)
    Sagna (CPL)
    Simpson (avl)

      I'd like to know this.

      Who's injured and why has he piped up again?
