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.

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

    9 years, 5 months ago

    right so I have used WC this week and have 0.2 in bank. team so far is

    foster (jaku)

    stones, mcauley, holding (friend, amat)

    hazard, redmond, pogba, coutinho, (capoue)

    ibrahimovic, negredo, aquero (captain)

    good to go? or could reccomend changes as

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Cout has a small injury

      1. Joyce1998
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        reckon he'll start or i could get firmino as he has gone down by 0.1

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Firmino is in bad form, I'd try to stretch the budget to Mane

          1. Joyce1998
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            yeah good point

          2. setemadi
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Firmino is bad form? He's involved in some sort or another on goals and he going to get goals and assists soon.

            1. Greenbackbøøg…
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Well he hasn't been involved at all so far

              1. wormface
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Involved in the cup

    2. the cromulent one
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Rather than 2x8.5 mids, consider a 7.5 and a 9.5. Arsenal's fixtures look promising, so Ozil will come onto our radars soon.

      1. the cromulent one
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry, Coutinho is 8.2. .point still stands, though.

        1. Don Van Vliet
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Firmino isn't in bad form, he's just been unfortunate to have been outside the points thus far. He's overdue if anything. Not the kindest of fixtures this weekend, however.

  2. Nazz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hi guys I have no money itb and wanna get rid of callum.Wilson before he drops tonight

    Should I go for stuani?

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Rondón

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

        This

    2. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      If u wish to go for a striker, imo should go for the guy who is likely to be the sole striker of their team. Stuani will always have competition from Negredo.

  3. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Souare is nailed right?

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

      Seems so

  4. One Man
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    best 4.5 mid apart from capoue ?

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

      Maybe Barry

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Nein

    2. Joyce1998
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      maloney or hojberg I'd say

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      This question scares me. It makes me wonder if you are planning on having two 4.5 midfielders 🙂

  5. Boo Ya Ka Sha
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    If you were on wc, which players would you consider must-have's?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Kun + Ibra + United defender

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah + hazard. But what other 3 mids and 3rd striker would you role with?

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          An Everton mid, maybe Pogba, Sterling. Right now everythings a bit up in the air as there are no super obvious bandwagons

          1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Pogba is interesting at 8.5. But I'm not open yet to selecting Sterling

      2. Joyce1998
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        possibly an liverpool attacker

        1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah I'm reluctant to ever get Cou again. Doesn't Firmino have an injury?

    2. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Kun, Ibra, Shaw/Valencia, Hazard & probably one Everton player

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Firmino or Barkley or Mirallas/Bolasie?

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

          Seems to be Barkley at this time. Lukaku & Mirallas need to b assessed.

          1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Ehh Barkley will dip soon

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

              Yeah. Got him to catch hold of the price rise. Personally would like to get Williams from Everton for long term.

              1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Is Williams nailed? Cheers man

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

                  He should be now. And I have this feeling that the good ol' clean sheets which Everton used to get under Moyes could be back again.

    3. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Kun, Ibra, Hazard, Shaw, Mane

    4. the cromulent one
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero, Zlatan are all that is essential.
      If I was on wc, I'd surely get an Everton player or two, and probably Hazard & Ozil.
      Apart from that, everything is really up to you.

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I couldn't agree more. Cheers

    Love how central those penalty box touches are for Rondón:

      No one else aroused by this?

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry, just finished jerking off

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

      I am and with West Broms fixtures he's my 3rd striker.

  7. IWR
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Any transfers to make here?

    Foster (Jaku)
    Shaw, Stones, Williams (Friend, Amat)
    Hazard, Mahrez, Redmond, Deulofeu (Hojbjerg)
    Aguero (C), God of Manchester, Gray

    0.0 ITB

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      You have Aguero twice

    2. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Good to go this week. Though wish to know ur plan for Saints tough away fixtures.

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

      God of Manchester = Rooney ?

  8. PAIRIDAEZAN
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hey guys,

    What needs fixing? (if anything at all)...

    DDG (Jaku)
    Walker, Azpi, Shaw, Bellerin, Stones
    Bolasie, Bojan (Capoue, Cattermole)
    Aguero, Ibra, Kane

    0.0m ITB

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      More defenders needed

      1. PAIRIDAEZAN
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Heh 😀

    2. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Unique team though a bit risky. Not sure if one can persist for long in this game relying on forwards and defenders.

      1. PAIRIDAEZAN
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I just didn't see a whole heap of value in elite midfielders. Elite defenders have the chance to net just as many if not more points (particularly with the way Azpi, Bellerin, and Walker get forward) and cost a couple of million less than elite mids.

        The three-headed hydra of Aguero, Ibra, and Kane is risky (and expensive) but I think it is worth it.

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

          If I remember last season, the number of clean sheets compared to previous seasons had substantially reduced. Probability of a wingback to secure attacking points as compared to a mid will be lower. Average of 5-6 assists in a season with maybe the odd goal.

          1. PAIRIDAEZAN
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Ah yes, but this season isn't last season is it? 🙂

            I am pretty contented with this team for now. I might WC before the end of the year. But not any time soon.

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

              Good luck then. Hope u prove the doubters wrong. Always appreciate managers willing to try something different.

        2. Postman Ty
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          have you actually ever looked at the season totals for points..? defenders get nowhere near as many points as midfielders. on the contrary, midfielders show time and time again that they provide the best points per million return.

          strikers are hyped for their limited selection (budget forwards are typically near useless or at least too unpredictable) and their captain-ability and often penalty taking prowess. aguero and ibra may be good picks for now but players like that often end up being poor value outside of captaincy so owning two long term usually isn't optimal.

          those 'elite' defenders will get you around the same points return as an equal priced midfielder, often less. but the cheap defenders aren't actually that far behind them, especially if you rotate them and play the fixtures and such. premium midfielders on the other hand score significantly higher than cheap-mid priced midfielders.

          i like to have a good bit of money in defence for more reliable returns, but i don't see your strategy here proving successful. conversation, not any kind of argument, good luck to you, i would like to see how it turns out.

    3. the cromulent one
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yeesh, that is a lot in defence.
      You're missing a midfielder.
      Midfield is where the points are. I don't like that structure at all.

      1. PAIRIDAEZAN
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Ahh I am too. Ramirez is my 5th mid.

    4. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Different

    5. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Who is your other midfielder?

      1. PAIRIDAEZAN
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Ramirez.

        1. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          That's pretty nice, consider selling Kane for Benteke to fund Hazard maybe? Or Bolasie/Bojan to Redmond? As far as mids are concerned Hazard is the only big hitter i'd be worried about right now.

          1. PAIRIDAEZAN
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah he's the only one I was ever considering starting with but I prefer the value those 6m or less mids offer which then enables such a powerful front line.

            Thanks for the advice Parm! And good luck to you!

            1. Parm
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Cheers dude and good luck to you too man, fingers crossed the elite midfielders don't fire.

    6. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Oh man, that first time you get three points from your midfield because Bolasie, Bojan, and Ramirez all play fewer than 60 minutes...ouch.

  9. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Oscar or Firmino>Tadic for -4 already have Redmond.

    Worried that neither Oscar or Firmino start. Bench is Gray Capoue (Friend)

    1. the cromulent one
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I have Oscar and am worried he may not start. That said, he has Burnley at home. Definitely not worth a -4 to transfer him out.

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Your name, most people use Ake instead of Sako.

      Fer Fuchs Ake

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        That's much cleverer

  10. Angin out the Begović
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Any Spurs fans ? Thoughts on Janssen?

  11. mccormibar
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Foster

    Valencia Stones Targett (Kone Amat)

    Hazard Firmino Lamela Redmond (Capoue)

    Aguero Ibra Benteke

    1 FT 0 ITB

    Worried about Targett not starting. Was planning to roll over my FT to do Firmino/Lamela > Bolasie/Ozil next week but if Targett doesn't start I'm stuck with Amat away to Leicester. Should I use my free to sort out a defender (probably Souare) or maybe play AOA?

    1. the cromulent one
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nah, Bertrand is still a doubt for the weekend. Targett should start one more.
      Amat against Leicester isn't hopeless.

  12. bobbysmith76
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is George Friend going to be able to play this week? Anyone watch the game to see his injury?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Wait for press conference tomorrow

  13. Ayew Serious
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Next weeks captaincy will be interesting. With City and United facing each other

    1. PAIRIDAEZAN
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Kane.

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I like Hazard right now.

        Kun will probably score a hat trick this weekend though and force me into keeping it on him

        1. PAIRIDAEZAN
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Hmmm. I wonder what the odds are on that. Who would you captain for this weekend out of Ibra or Aguero?

          1. Ayew Serious
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Agüero for me

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

      Aguero

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

      Hazarddd

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

      Mane

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Will be avoiding Kubra as feel will be low scoring affair

  14. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Injuries might force my hand but I reckon I'd be happy with a -4 and 2 transfers after international break.
    Do you guys agree?
    Foster/Heaton
    Friend Amat Valencia Williams Stones
    Haz Capoue Redmond Townsend Nolito
    Gray Zlatan Aguero

    Might drop Gray to Diomande and maybe Townsend to Barkley depending on form

    1. PAIRIDAEZAN
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I am never happy with hits.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I misread hits as something else

        1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Hahahha! You would!

      2. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Agree. Feel like if rather save the WC for something more drastic

      3. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Feel like I'd rather take a -4 now and save WC for bigger surgery

      4. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        agreed, I avoid as much as possible and try to put faith in my decisions. the issue comes with price drops from others kneejerking.

  15. Reiko
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Coutinho to not be risked for Spurs game? Glad I did not jump on him earlier.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      who's said he won't start? this is news to me.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          i may have to wildcard

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

            Can understand. I have no choice but to bench Carroll & Valdes this week as I took a hit to bring in Ibra & Barkley. Maybe can hold WC for Int'l break

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              annoying aint it, i'll never be taking a punt on cout again thats for sure, first lesson of this season learnt 🙂
              I can get away with not wildcarding, only just. May just play AOA though.

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

                Yeah. Seems to b the better idea.

        9 years, 5 months ago

        Looking at my present squad and weirdly it doesn't let me again change out of 3-5-2
        Which annoyed me last GW coz of feghouli/Gray 🙁

          This is on iPad and android phone ?

          Change the formation on the left then it's fine. I can do it for you if needed.

            How on earth can you change my formation ?

                Tried on iPad and I don't see formation either. I use laptop and don't have an issue. I suggest you do the same.

                  That's good to know BUT a seriously crucial option missed by these muppets.

      Wilson survives!! One more, Callum, just one more! Then..I wildcard..

      1. Jafoole_88
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        hoping the same for Wilson too, as can see him getting something against Crystal Palace tomorrow. He's on -95.1 atm, but you just know that every tom, Dick and harry will be doing their transfers today!

  21. Reiko

    Can anyone shed some light on the prospects of Gooch (Sunderland) as a viable option for 4.5?

    1. Jay_
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I dunno about the North East but there's a heatwave in London and mines real sweaty

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          I'll kick you right in the gooch

      • ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

        Nothing wrong with Gooch.

      • 14 Years

      Worth playing AOA? Capone(Ars) or hope two of Evans, Friend, Kone and Stones starts. Real possibility I only have 2 defenders this GW

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        *Capoue

      2. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I think you'll be fine. Unless tomorrow's press conferences suggest otherwise.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers. Hoping Evans is alright

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

            That's always the looming danger with Evans.

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Just a knock so surely ok after not playing midweek. Unless Arsenal rumours are to be believed

          2. Ayew Serious
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Hopefully. Owning him is always nervy

    3. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      All things going well I'm planning to do.

      Firmino---Pogba(if Firm rises)

      Or

      Firmino+Lamela----Ozil
      +Bolasie

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Don't like the second option personally

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

        A

    4. Schwarzer
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      In the strange position where I have two free transfers with no idea how to use them.
      Would you do any of these?

      A) Stones > Funes Mori/Williams (STO) (for Everton's run of fixtures. City haven't been as strong without Kompany)
      B) Townsend > Mirallas (STO) (he might be a rotation risk though)
      C) Gray (che) > Rondon (MID) (Gray might be suspended next week)

      Cheers

      1. Schwarzer
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Also D) Friend > Holding (wat) (for a short term punt)

      2. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        C. Chelsea isn't a good fixture and a suspension is looming

      3. Tiamani Warrior
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I think gray will be better than rondon long term but if you have a transfer to burn that may be the way to go this week just incase he loses value over international break - buy him back for 6.4 in a few weeks?

      4. Demel
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        C is the one for me. Not sure Mirallas will start and I think A is a downgrade.

      5. Schwarzer
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks lads, agreed with you all.

      6. Kante Be Bothered
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Stones is a steal with Bravo in goal now

    5. Zoostation
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      If Friend seems out after the presser tomorrow would you play Pieters over AOA with Capoue?

      Thinking Everton are going to put a few past Stoke and it seems like this may be a good time to gamble on AOA?

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        In a similar boat but a fixture against Arsenal isn't the best. Watford struggling in attack too

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

          Ya both options seem rather awful to be honest.

          I'm not taking a -4 to sort it out and odds are Capoue doesn't score 3 in a row.

          Will have to pick from two bad choices it seems.

    6. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Play Gray or Capoue?

      Play Friend, Amat or Evans?

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

        Gray

        Evans - Subs Friend Amat

        1. JasonG123
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers, that's what I'm on.

    7. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Haven't been on here in a long while. Just wanted to drop in and say that I think Pogba is a steal at 8.5. That's all. Do with this suggestion what you will. - Peace

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Have to agree but happy to a wait and see him prove it with points first

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

          This

        2. The Enlightener
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Fair enough. I can't get him in this week. But will be trying to do so soon, I think. I saw enough in his first match to think he'll handle this league no problem. Especially with the team they've put together in Manchester. Think they are my pick to win the league this go around.

          1. The Enlightener
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Did I use the word "think" enough there? Sheesh.

        3. COYS Down Under
          • 10 Years

          This as well.

      2. Kante Be Bothered
        • 9 Years

        8.5 mil is a great deal considering Man Utd payed 100 mil for him

        1. The Enlightener
          • 12 Years

          Ha! True!

      Cheers

      1. Reiko

      2. Demel
        • 14 Years

        Depends on how bad Friend's injury is. A if it is ok. B to Macaulay if it is bad.

    9. Costa Nostra

      4. Demel

        It depends if they sign a keeper before the transfer deadline.

      Jaku, Heaton

      Shaw, Azpi, Stones, Amat, Friend

      Hazard, Redmond, Firmino, Townsend, Capoue

      What would u do?

      1. Zoostation

        Firmino to Barkley if you fancy it.

        Gray to ???
