He’s gone. Aguero has been shown the door, at least by myself, Jonty and Andy.

But Granville had to be different.

The revitalised ScoutCast shock-jockey simply had to go against the grain and choose to bench the Argentine.

He’s also refusing to play his Wildcard, challenging us to persuade him over the course of this episode.

Do we succeed in tipping him over the edge? You’ll have to listen in and find out.

In doing so, you’ll hear the four of us address a barrage of Wildcard fuelled questions from you, the Community, as we tackle subjects such as the Arsenal midfield conundrum, Payet vs Antonio and survey the options when it comes to cheap enablers.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first beamed live via YouTube on Tuesday evening.

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

    Scoutcast!

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Since Epic Fail is not here * first

    2. JoeJitzu +42

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Epic

      Cazorla = Antonio
      Sanchez/Ozil = Payet

    People getting rid of Tadic this week, are you transferring before he drops tonight or waiting til Saturday just in case of any team news from tomorrow?

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Have him and really don't want to lose another 0.1 on him... Think of getting rid this evening

      1. Geri-hatricks
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, although I'll look like a right muppet if I use my FTs tonight and there's injury news tomorrow.

        There's a chance he wont go down tonight I guess. He's at -100.5 so not guaranteed to fall

    2. tm245
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I shipped him for Payet, didn't want to risk another price drop.

    3. Bruin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Can't afford to lose .2 this early

    4. Jomica
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I thought he was dropping last night so shipped him to cazorla

    5. Pinky Blinders
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not a person getting rid of Tadic. Yes we still exist in the wild.

  3. GHB
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Benteke won't rise tonight will he?

    Should be tomorrow right?

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's getting close to a rise 94.1%

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

      Last 2 nights have had risers under 100%.

      1. GHB
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Really?

        I'l get him in now then.

        Cheers TM

          Ozil and Cazorla recently.

  4. WDT
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A) Baines & Cazorla
    B) Sterling & Williams

    Thoughts?

    1. Beavis
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Think

      A 55%
      B 45%

    3. Jomica
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I would go cazorla & williams & use 0.5 elsewhere, not convinced about baines staying on pens + williams has that lovely habit of getting 9 pts for most of his clean sheets 😉

  5. Beavis
    10 years, 1 month ago

    *repost*

    What I'd like to think is the final WC decision...

    A: Cech, Baines, Antonio
    B: Foster, Williams, Ozil

    Already got Sanchez but B allows me to keep Arsenal attack when I get Kun.

    1. wagner is king

      B

      A

      1. Energetics
        10 years, 1 month ago

        But find a way to keep Arsenal attack.

        1. Beavis
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks guys.

  6. jam sandwich

    rate my wildcard team:

    Heaton - Robinson
    Valencia - Evans - Kone - Souare - Amat
    Sanchez - Hazard - Sterling - Antonio - Capoue
    Ibrahimovic - Lukaku - Defoe

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Get Mane

    2. wagner is king
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Solid

    3. Cofinho
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Low defense

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Good. Like it a lot.

    5. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      10 years, 1 month ago

      pretty avg defence

      5/10

  7. wagner is king
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Pickford or juk ? As sub keeper plz

    1. Tiamani Warrior
      10 years, 1 month ago

      id keep jaku if youve had him from the start or go pickford if not to save .1 = both 50/50 to start this week IMO

    2. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Main keeper?

      1. wagner is king
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Mandanda

        1. Netley Lucas
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Hmmm... hoping you'd say Heaton. Dunno, think Pick is okay for now, others don't. Jak really looks behind Marshall.

  8. dhamphiir
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ozil or Sanchez?

  9. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I've seen all the Sanchez stats RE returning from international breaks.

    I just have a niggling feeling this time. Wenger has all his mids/ forwards fit apart from the standard Welbeck injury. That hasn't happened in ages.

    I think I'm going for Ozil or even Antonio instead.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        meh, 2 week decision before I wildcard.

        Ozil/ Lukaku Vs Sanchez/ Lukaku

        I'm leaning towards the former. We'll see.

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 1 month ago

          oops

          Ozil/ Lukaku Vs Sanchez/ Benteke

    1. dogtanion
      10 years, 1 month ago

      would be surprised if he's benched..perhaps culled after 75 mins more likely imo

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Put it this way. I'd be surprised too but slightly less surprised than I would have been following an international break last season.

    2. Geri-hatricks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm currently thinking Sanchez but that's definitely a doubt in my mind. Could see the Ox and Walcott on the wings and Alexis on the bench...

    3. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He is talking about being as good as ronaldo and messi

    4. Bruin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ramsey

    5. Pinky Blinders
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If they go up early I can see him being benched without much to show for himself.

  10. Littlefish92
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who should I get ?

    A. Baines could be on pens maybe and set pieces

    B. Williams sometimes gets extra points and in only 5.0 so save abit more money

    1. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It depends, need te see the rest.

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I've gone for Baines due to Pens and Corners

      Guess it depends on what you do with the other 0.5

  11. cjw176
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Currently on a wildcard and I really need help with my team.

    Cech Pickford
    Valencia Stones Baines McAuley Collins
    Sterling Barkley Ozil Hazard Capoue
    Ibra Gray Benteke

    Anyone you would change?

    1. DaddyPig
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Looks great, Stones hasn't really impressed yet though.
      Plus Cech is an expensive choice.. Solid though.

      1. cjw176
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you. Anyone else you would recommend for Stones?

    2. Vamonos
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think your defence is too strong. I'd take out Stones for a 4.5 and swap Gray for Defoe

      1. Vamonos
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That should've said Baines for a 4.5

    3. phace
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Boot Stones for a 4.5 and upgrade someone else like Barkley or Gray

  12. DaddyPig
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Evening guys, any obvious improvements or changes to this squad... Thanks!

    Foster Jaku
    Valencia Evans Baines Collins Amat
    Hazard Sterling Sanchez Capoue Puncheon
    Ibra Lukaku Benteke

    1. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Seeing loads of Tekkers but no Rondons tonight... why is that?

      1. DaddyPig
        10 years, 1 month ago

        So you'd have Rondon instead. Is that your advice?

        1. Netley Lucas
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Nah, go for it mate. Just thinking (+drinking) aloud. gl 😉

  13. okan58
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What is the best striker selection under 6.7?
    Think about the whole day...

    1. cjw176
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Diomande 4.6
      Gray 6.5

      1. okan58
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Are you sure with Gray? Had the already high on the list.

    2. KadMan
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hernandez?

      1. okan58
        10 years, 1 month ago

        But Hull has strong fixtures...

    3. The Mighty One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Gray vs Hull...if he doesn't get suspended.

  14. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A) Sanchez, Shaw, Keane (Hull)
    B) Ozil, Benteke, def fodder.

    1. tm245
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B, maybe?

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

  15. tm245
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez Hazard Payet Mahrez Bolasie
    Ibrahimovic Benteke

    You'd pay 8 points for that, wouldn't you?

    1. KadMan
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't pay 8 points for anything even if I had unlimited balance. Unless it's a double gameweek.

      1. tm245
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I think I might be less hit averse than you!

        1. KadMan
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, looks like it. That is a solid team but I'd still take -4 at max. Don't expect all of them to score no matter how good the players are that you're getting. Only do it if you have non starters in your team before doing these transfers.

          1. tm245
            10 years, 1 month ago

            It's Ramirez to Mahrez for the -8. Benteke and Payet are already in the fold for a hit.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bol to puncheon.

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No way. Not when Payet, Mahrez and Benteke have not shown an inkling of form yet.

    4. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      10 years, 1 month ago

      nope, not for me

    5. Geri-hatricks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Three players that have potential but arent in form yet (Payet, Bolasie, Benteke). Not worth 8 point hit

      1. Geri-hatricks
        10 years, 1 month ago

        +Mahrez hasnt lOoked great. Possibly losing pens too

    6. Jomica
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't pay-8 although
      Nice on paper, how's the defence looking tho...

      1. tm245
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It has survived so far, double West Brom and a bunch of cheap rotators.

        1. Jomica
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough, I have 4 expensive defenders & only 3 decent mids atm & will wildcard if it starts going bad but so far so good! 🙂
          Each to their own tho, good luck

    7. tm245
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You all are talking sense -- cheers for the replies. I will leave it in the hands of the price gods to see if Mahrez falls or not and makes this affordable.

      I know it sounds crazy but I'm looking to buy two week lottery tickets to make up for the absence of Aguero.

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Payed ok,but
        Mahrez - his form is so-so, tough game away in Liverpool, midweek plays first ever CL away in Brugge, then Burnley.
        Bolasie did't show anything interesting
        I don't think it is worth -8

    8. mr gruber
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I like it very much.

      I have sterling-mirallas-zaza to your mahrez-bolasie-teke.

      I have been agonising over mirallas or bolasie as think one of them at least should be good return / good value.
      Why bolasie for you?

      1. mr gruber
        10 years, 1 month ago

        hearing your situation, nolito over mahrez would appeal for me.

  16. KadMan
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A. Zaza, Sterling and Lamela.
    B. Defoe, Payet and a 5.7M midfielder (Who? Don't have a Palace cover so could get Puncheon or Zaha)

    OR

    A. Zaza and Sterling
    B. Defoe and Antonio

  17. tm245
    10 years, 1 month ago

    B with Snodgrass?

    1. tm245
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Reply fail.

  18. David Davros
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Two things:

    1) Aguero out on a WC is a bit of a pain. Any time that I can get a team I am happy with I can't see how I can pull together the money to get him back in! There doesn't seem to be as much value around this year.

    2) This idea that you can make money on a wildcard is an absolute myth. It's getting to the point of time where you need to have your team in shape now because players you want to keep are rising. I've not had a single double riser that I don't already intent to keep...

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Te international break wildcard isn't what it use to be for sure

    2. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah you see we've gone from Kun Plan te Might Not Need Him very quickly. I was inevitable.

    3. Lazarus Star
      10 years, 1 month ago

      2) but did you have them all to start with?

  19. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Which WC draft is better?

    A) Heaton Pickford
    Baines Collins Evans Valencia Amat
    Hazard Sanchez Mirallas Antonio Capoue
    Ibra Lukaku Benteke

    B) Cech Pickford
    Williams Collins Evans Valencia Amat
    Hazard Ozil Lanzini Sterling Capoue
    Ibra Lukaku Benteke

    1. Lazarus Star
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The underlying question here is Sanchez or Ozil.

      B with Heaton and Sanchez & Sterling & Antonio

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. mr gruber
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A for me

  20. Gizzachance
    10 years, 1 month ago

    is giroud worth a punt as a differential over lukaku ?must be due a start this week? or stick with lukaku ? cheers

  21. Baby Cuties
    10 years, 1 month ago

    chances of Benteke and/or Sterling rise tonight?

    1. Le _ Professeur
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Very Low

  22. Le _ Professeur
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen worth considering at the moment 🙂 ?

    1. KadMan
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I am considering him but he's near to another drop. Don't want the hassle if he doesn't perform yet again.

    2. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Signed the contract now so should be happier... wait.

    3. Gizzachance
      10 years, 1 month ago

      tot not been to impressive yet, 3 goals scored, eriksen not involved in any, at 8.4 better options around

  23. kumast
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ozil or Sanchez?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez

    2. KadMan
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ozil for me. Consistency over spring like performances. Saves up cash too. Also the fact that Giroud would take some of Sanchez's attacking influence.

      1. kumast
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Good points.

  24. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who to sell for Sanchez?

    A) Tadic
    B) Ramirez

    1. kumast
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. KadMan
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

  25. pablo discobar
    10 years, 1 month ago

    GK Heaton, Robinson
    DEF Baines, Valencia, Mccauley, Stones, Amat
    MID Hazard, Antonio, Sanchez, Bolasie, Capoue
    FWD Ibra, Costa, Benteke.

    Thats my wildcard, how`s it looking?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not a fan of that GK pairing but i like the rest

    2. tm245
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Beyond reproach, it has most of the popular picks on here.

    3. Jomica
      10 years, 1 month ago

      8/10
      Any plans for aguero/sterling

      1. pablo discobar
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling i`m not sold as as might get rotated vs Bournemouth.

        For Aguero it would be probably Sanchez or Ibra to someone (the form guy at the time) and then Costa to Aguero. No transfer in GW 5 to allow it

  26. Geri-hatricks
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Wenger goingto have press conference tomorrow?

    Could shed light on whether Alexis is likely to start

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah 9am

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      10 years, 1 month ago

      he'll start, he's a beast.
      he was starting all last season and was injured for most of it.
      at least now he's totally fit.

  27. PEPSIMAN
    10 years, 1 month ago

    is it worth owning Foster and Heaton? instead of have Jaku or Pickford since they aren't 100% starters?

    1. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Heat/Rob is what the cool kids are doing.

    2. Geri-hatricks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth it imo.

      Nit when we'll be penny pinching when Agueros back. Plus its a headache to know who to play as show by gw 1 and 2

    3. Sponc
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I have Foster+Pickford but I would like Foster+Heaton. If you can get the 0.5,, I think it's worth it

    4. Lazarus Star
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Heaton / Foster from GW1 here (yet to play the right one)

  28. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    10 years, 1 month ago

    When does the fixture swing kick in? I've got either GW6 or GW8 in my mind.

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

      Both work.

  29. Sponc
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Where can you see the rise/fall percentages?

    Maybe dumb question

      1. Sponc
        10 years, 1 month ago

        is it worth getting Valencia instead of Dann based on this predictor?

  30. NRK
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Please rate. On WC.
