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.

                10 years, 2 months ago

                I think the site you want is being rewritten at the moment

  2. Fergietime
    10 years, 2 months ago

    1. Twiggy SRFC
      10 years, 2 months ago

    Is this a good sign for Benteke owners?
    I think there is a good chance Pardew will play 442 tommorrow

    1. O Fenomeno
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I'm pretty sure strikers usually practice shooting in pairs like this. But I hope you're right, I somehow ended up with Wickham in my team

  4. Twiggy SRFC
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Who should I play? (Pick 2)

    A)Stuani
    B)Capoue

      10 years, 2 months ago

      No 2nd T but I can see to*al b0ll0cks there

      1. O Fenomeno
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Dafuq

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 2 months ago

          really

    3. Crash Test Dummy's
      10 years, 2 months ago

      a

    4. U n I t e d
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I'm confident that it will be B C & D

  6. Alonso's Ball
    10 years, 2 months ago

    What does everyone thing of the idea of FFS partnering with a price-change prediction service (I use fplstatistics) that would work the same way as the RMT tool in the members section?

    I think it would be quite handy to input your team ID and see where they all sit with regards to a price change

    1. Bubz
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I'm sure the official site will be showing price changes on the site next season

      1. Vaffel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        A guess or do you have a source?

  7. Boo Ya Ka Sha
    10 years, 2 months ago

    On wc. Who do we believe is the best 5.6 or less mid. How did Ramirez look, I have him but I didn't see him play this past week. Cheers

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Snodders

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Foh real? Idk about that

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ramirez was rather annoyingly subbed off after 58 minutes but other than that has done ok so far.

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah man. That's kinda a red flag.

    3. Gashead9
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure there are too many good options at that price range just yet, 6 and higher will give you much better choices if you can find 0.4

      1. Gashead9
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Or Phillips, bit of a punt but good fixtures

      2. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Well who do you recommend at 6.5 or less besides Redmond

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Mirallas

          1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Injury prone and is he 100% nailed?

            1. Gashead9
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Townsend

              1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
                10 years, 2 months ago

                You sure he's better than Mirallas and Bolasie and Januzaj and Ramirez and Ibe?

  8. camarozz
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Finally got my gravatar. Yippee

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You probably need to change it anyway.

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Lol

      2. camarozz
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I like it.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Lose the swearing then it's fine.

          1. camarozz
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Didn't think you could see the f word. It's a good motto I feel.
            Il have to change it so.

  9. gers23
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on going with Ozil if on your wildcard?

    1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Caz will steal points.

      1. I Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Will he even start?

        1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Once Wenger believes he is 100% for from injury and has more match time, yeah, I think he's nailed alongside Xhaka.

          1. I Member
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Xhaka + Cazorla doesn't seem like enough bite. Think Coquelin or Elneny will be in the team but you could be right.

    2. Sauzée
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Do it.

  10. Jay Jay Okocha
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Foster, Jak
    Shaw, Evans, Friend, Amat, Kingsley
    Hazard, Tadic, Lamela, Feghouli, Capoue
    Aguero, Ibra, Vardy

    2 FT, 0 ITB

    Best move(s)?

    A) Vardy and Feghouli to Lukaku and Bolasie/Redmond
    B) Feghouli to Gaston, roll 2 FT
    C) Feghouli and Friend to Gaston and Pieters

  11. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 2 months ago

    best duo pls? thx

    1. -4 feguli + long > Barkley + Diomande
    2. -4 feguli + long > Fer/Snoddy + Negredo
    3. -4 feguli + long > Tadic + Stuani
    4. -4 feguli + long > Hojberg/Maloney + Beneteke

    1. Tiamani Warrior
      10 years, 2 months ago

      snoddy negredo looks safest to me. others all have possible non starters

      1. Total Foot 5
        10 years, 2 months ago

        k

  12. Magic but Tragic
    10 years, 2 months ago

    For those like me with Hazard and Mahrez....1 more week for Mahrez?

    1. Tiamani Warrior
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I just bought both this week! regaining penalty duties is enough for me to think they will be the top scoring 2 mids this season

      1. Magic but Tragic
        10 years, 2 months ago

        This is very true. Its bugging me none the less as i can't get a Everton mid in!

        1. Tiamani Warrior
          10 years, 2 months ago

          think everton mids may be a bit overrated myself - too many similar players no real stand out unless you can afford barkley - but im taking my chances on tadic over barkley at that price

      2. One Man
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Interesting - I'm on WC and feeling it for Mahrez due to your vouch for him. Maybe over Ozil ?

        1. Tiamani Warrior
          10 years, 2 months ago

          i much prefer mahrez to ozil but dont want to stuff up your wildcard so go with what you think. team value pretty important over the first month or two so can always get on mahrez later if you dont mind missing his first big haul?

          1. One Man
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Minds pretty much made up now on Mahrez ahead of Ozil, it's prime time now for him with the next fixture. Penalty's really make Mahrez a good proposition.

            1. Tiamani Warrior
              10 years, 2 months ago

              yep i think leic got about 12 penalties last season? cant see that changing much with Vardy and now also musa bombing into the box like mad men

    2. bennyp
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I have Mahrez. Will stick for a few weeks. I'm sure he'll come good

  13. Sauzée
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Re-watching Arrested Development. What a show 😆

    1. Baby Cuties
      10 years, 2 months ago

      what a coincidence! just started that today. I think i might stick with it

    2. O Fenomeno
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Quality show. Will Arnett (Gob in AD) voices the main character in an animated show on Netflix called Bojack Horseman, check it out

  14. Boo Ya Ka Sha
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Financed my first car today, had to find and deal with the insurance company, loan company, car company. Adulting is too expensive.

    1. HellasLEAF
      10 years, 2 months ago

      It's like driving around an egg shell. Good luck.

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, depending on the type of insurance. Leasing is too expensive since it's not going towards equity

        1. John t penguin
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Been buying for 25 years and never yet owned a car outright
          Pcp is best way to get better car. Just need to learn to haggle

          1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Pcp?

            1. John t penguin
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Balloon payment at end.
              You defer some of car price to end of contract, still pay interest but it gives you more car for your bucks. Normally you trade in before you get to end. But the guarantee future value of car will cover end payment

              1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
                10 years, 2 months ago

                I don't think I follow 100%. So I make the big payment at the end of the 60 or 72 months. But by paying it earlier, won't that decrease my overall interest payments and therefore be cheaper than waiting till the end?

                1. John t penguin
                  10 years, 2 months ago

                  Best to google the explanation rather than me trying to fit it in
                  But roughly it goes
                  By car £20000
                  Normal method example
                  £450 p.m. For 60 months
                  Pcp method
                  £300 p.m. For 48 months, defer £8000 to end
                  Then option of new loan, hand car back and walk away or trade in
                  This is just made up figures but shows you get better car for smaller payments. You never really own car but a lot of people trade in cars before end of finance anyway so never own it no matter what

                  1. John t penguin
                    10 years, 2 months ago

                    Point is you never make big payment, your car value pays that off. Once you have got by negative equity stage of loan you should start to move into the car being worth more than remaining finance.
                    It's just a different option than straight finance

                    1. John t penguin
                      10 years, 2 months ago

                      Obviously if you pay for 60 months loan and plan to hold onto car after that then pcp isn't good option

                      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
                        10 years, 2 months ago

                        This is awesome. Thanks the advice man

        10 years, 2 months ago

        No problem. Already got banned once last Xmas for saying ageuro scored. In hindsight it was pretty silly ting to say.

  19. A.T
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Hi boys and girls. Can someone tell me what time the deadzone starts? I've heard so much about it, it sounds so wonderful. My mum says I can stay up late if there's no swearing so please everyone try their best.

      I believe that Zasa is the DZ gatekeeper. You must solve his riddle to proceed.

      1. A.T
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Something something English bad, rest good, something something. Something like that 🙂

        1. Zasa
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Ooh, feisty 😉

          1. A.T

      Christ-Emmanuel Faitout Maouassa

      1. HellasLEAF
        10 years, 2 months ago

        oh my

  21. PeteMorr
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth spending a FT to transfer out Deulofeu? If so, who? 0m in bank.

    1. HellasLEAF
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Contemplating the same thing myself. Hoping for no drop, as will decide late Friday..

      1. HellasLEAF
        10 years, 2 months ago

        If Deu does in fact start, then a swap out with this fixture just doesn't make sense. We rolled the dice on him, may as well give him this last chance imo

    2. Matsy123
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I have same issue, think ill go for townsend

  22. NED KELLY
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Kun Ibra Lukaku looks deadly.. Might down grade hazard for sterling and do Gray to Lukaku

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      also messes up your chances of fitting in two of Ozil/Hazard/Mane/Payet etc.

      1. NED KELLY
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Think sterling an coutinio could match the hazards ozils this season

        1. Jazz!
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Lol no way.

          1. NED KELLY
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Why not?

              Well Sterling is a player with little end product. Has got in good spaces but never shoots and hasn't made many chances.

              Coutinho's just very inconsistent who scores about 7/8 each year.

              Hazard is proven FPL pedigree a who looks back to his best. Same with Ozil.

              That's just my opinion though.
