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.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      It doesn't work any more due to the new FPL website. Will need to be re-written.

    Who do you think will be the International week bandwagon player?

    1. OLEgend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez

    2. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Mane. Liverpool blanking v Burnley seems to be more important than putting 4 past Barca and Arsenal and 5 in the cup

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

  4. Karmanya
    • 14 Years

  5. Fergieheron
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Who top play this weekend?
    A) Friend
    B) Gray
    C) Capoue

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I have the same Q.

      I'm going with Grey as i have no Chelsea defenders. I hope he scores a hat-trick after all the media attention.

    2. Arceus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. STONEROSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Same Q as well.
      Very close to going with Capoue at home v this Arsnl def ahead of Gray at Stam Bridge.

  6. MOUMU
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Aguero or Ibra for captain this week?

    with hazard firmino lamela redmond in MF

    1. S.Agueroooooo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Same team as me!

      Likely to stick on aguero!

      1. bigbudgie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Kun Aguero
        There is no other choice

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Ditto midfield. Hope you do well.

      1. MOUMU
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        yes my rest team being..

        Foster (Jaku)
        Stones Shaw Morgan (Amat Friend)
        Hazard Lamela Redmond Firmino (Fletcher)
        Ibra Kun (c) Diomande

        going with this playing 11 any suggestions?

  7. BB-8
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Everton fans, do you think Mirallas is nailed on? Say, for the next 3-4 gameweeks?

  8. RAZZLE
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    2 transfers with 1.5 mil in the bank any suggestions?

    Heaton Jaku
    Shaw Stones Morgan (Amat Lenihan)
    Ramirez Redmond Mahrez Hazard (capoue)
    Zlatan Kun Gray

    1. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lenihan to McAuley or Gray to Negredo

  9. Norman Conquest
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    morning all its looking highly likely Mkhitaryan is going to start for united against hull even though we need to see him play more before he becomes an option on fpl it has thrown my captaincy had kun nailed but not too sure now he will make a massive difference to united

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      source of him being likely to start?

      1. Norman Conquest
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        nothing concrete yet just rumours about mourinho being very impressed with his cameo against the saints it was always going to happen just a matter of when

    2. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      What's Mourinho said? It seems pointless to worry about him or his effect on the team before we've seen it.

    1FT, 0.9 ITB

    A) Pieters -> Williams
    B) Pieters/Mahrez -> Shaw/Sterling for -4

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Save FT.

  11. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What to do?

    2FTs, 0.5m

    Foster Jaku
    Shaw Stones Friend Kone Amat
    Sanchez Firmino Deulofeu Redmond Rodwell
    Aguero Ibra Rondon

    Want to give Sanchez and Firmino one more week.

    Williams in for Friend?

    Thanks.

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Stones to Williams looks like a better move.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        That was my original plan. Shot down on here.

        1. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Mine too, same response

    2. zøphar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'd do sanchez and delofeu to barkley and pogba

  12. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So, West Ham being out of the Europa is good for us Fantasy Wise.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, plus less rotation, hopefully.

  13. Ruffio
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Can j get any help here guys,
    Got 2 free transfers and 0.5 itb.

    Considering bolasie?

    Could defence do with some work?

    Heaton (foster)

    Morgan. Stones. Shaw. (Kingsley. Friend)

    Friminho. Hazard. Ibe. Lamela (Capoue)

    Kun. Ibra gray.

    Cheers all!

  14. Christina.
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Sorry, but we need an Int injury to spice things up.

  15. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Transfers for GW 3. Worth taking -4??

    A. Evans ------ Shaw
    B. Firmino ------- Barkley

    Rest of the team.

    Valdes /Jakupovic
    Friend /Stones /Amat
    Mahrez /Hazard /Ramirez /Capoue
    Kun /Ibra /Gray

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Transfers look good. I'm afraid of getting rid of Firm.

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Barkley is very knee jerk in my opinion. Too hard to tell much after 2 games.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Slightly knee jerky but he looked good in their last game too (the 4-0 victory). I'd say the best looking Everton option atm.

    3. Rich_20
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Waste imo, I feel like people will regret gettig rid of Firmino over the next couple of weeks. Then again Barkley could pay off. 4-1 to City was very flattering against Stoke I expect them to be much more difficult to break down this weekend.

  16. amit1964
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    hii
    if friend will not play, should i put capoue or amat?
    thanks

    1. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Capoue

  17. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What do you reckon guys...

    Gray > Benteke or save the FT ?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      After internationals. Benteke not guaranteed to start.

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah good point, will Gray definitely start with everything that's going on you reckon?

  18. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Should I play Williams this GW? Is he fit? Could do with a clean sheet. Not had many so far. Stones for one has been disappointing so far.

    1. Arceus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Play both

  19. Manani
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    costa, negredo, lukaku or benteke?

    this is for kane btw

    1. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I like Costa but he's a card magnet and only a matter of time before he's serving a suspension!

      In that case I'd go for Lukaku right now!

    2. Arceus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku

  20. faver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    mustafi gonna cost 5.5? if so, he will be cheaper than Hector which would be nice asset fpl wise.

    1. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      With Bellerin's attacking potential I think I'd pay the extra!

      1. faver
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        have you watched euro'16?

  21. RAZZLE
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    what do we all thing about bringing in pogba this week or is it too early?

    1. faver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      trusted myself and pulled this trigger

      1. RAZZLE
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        gut feeling he will do well

        1. faver
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          me too

  22. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hi lads and lasses, any thoughts on how to use one of my FT's? I need to burn 1 with no money to play with!

    Foster Jaku

    Shaw Stones Friend Kone Amat

    Hazard Lamela Townsend Gaston Leko

    Kun Ibra Vardy

    I'm planning on giving Vardy another week but I think I need to get rid of Kone! Any ideas who to bring in? Ideally a 4.5 who rotates with Boro!

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Why do you NEED to burn one?

      Just hold til after the break?

      1. KGJ United
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I guess he has 2 FTs.
        I he doesn't use 1 FT, he is going to lose it.

    2. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Kone to McAuley?

  23. FPLEL
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Who stays in my team?

    a) Firmino
    b) Tadic

    1. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'd say B if no Redmond

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'm thinking now of doing Tadic to Redmond. I need funds for Ibra.

    2. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      B

  24. Exotica
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Foster(Jaku)
    McAulley stone terry (Mori , Kingsley )
    Haz coutinho Barkley redmon(capoue)
    Kun costa(C) negredo

    1ft 2.5 in bank

    1. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Kun captain then yes

    1. goodday there mate
      • 11 Years

      excellent

    2. Christina.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      ...now if Firmino can just hold out and give birth post Spurs game we might actually be in for some points...

  25. ANON.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    3. KGJ United
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

    12 of Lucas Perez's 17 goals last campaign arrived before Christmas. In 2016 he has scored just six times, including the penalty winner netted in the 2016/17 season opener against Eibar.
    Its been suggested that he might play on the right rather than upfront

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It suggests he's a perfect fit for Arsenal 🙂
