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!

      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
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days 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
        10 years, 2 days 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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

    3. Bruin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Can't afford to lose .2 this early

    4. Jomica
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

    5. Pinky Blinders
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

  3. GHB
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Benteke won't rise tonight will he?

    Should be tomorrow right?

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      He's getting close to a rise 94.1%

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Last 2 nights have had risers under 100%.

      1. GHB
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Really?

        I'l get him in now then.

        Cheers TM

          Ozil and Cazorla recently.

  4. WDT
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    A) Baines & Cazorla
    B) Sterling & Williams

    Thoughts?

      B

    2. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Think

      A 55%
      B 45%

    3. Jomica
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days 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
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    *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
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      B

    2. Hasselbaink Forever

      A

      1. Energetics

        But find a way to keep Arsenal attack.

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          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…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Get Mane

    2. wagner is king
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Solid

    3. Cofinho
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Low defense

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Good. Like it a lot.

    5. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      pretty avg defence

      5/10

  7. wagner is king
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Pickford or juk ? As sub keeper plz

    1. Tiamani Warrior
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days 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
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Main keeper?

      1. wagner is king
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Mandanda

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

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

  8. dhamphiir
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Ozil or Sanchez?

  9. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 days 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
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 days 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
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          oops

          Ozil/ Lukaku Vs Sanchez/ Benteke

    1. dogtanion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 days 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
      10 years, 2 days 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
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      He is talking about being as good as ronaldo and messi

    4. Bruin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Ramsey

    5. Pinky Blinders
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

  10. Littlefish92
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 days 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
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      It depends, need te see the rest.

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days 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
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 days 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
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

      1. cjw176
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Thank you. Anyone else you would recommend for Stones?

    2. Vamonos
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days 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
        10 years, 2 days ago

        That should've said Baines for a 4.5

    3. phace
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

  12. DaddyPig
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days 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
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

      1. DaddyPig
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

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

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

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

  13. okan58
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

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

    1. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Diomande 4.6
      Gray 6.5

      1. okan58
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

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

    2. KadMan
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Hernandez?

      1. okan58
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        But Hull has strong fixtures...

    3. The Mighty One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

  14. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

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

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      B, maybe?

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      B

  15. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Sanchez Hazard Payet Mahrez Bolasie
    Ibrahimovic Benteke

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

    1. KadMan
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        I think I might be less hit averse than you!

        1. KadMan
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 days 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
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 2 days 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
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Bol to puncheon.

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

    4. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      nope, not for me

    5. Geri-hatricks
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

      1. Geri-hatricks
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        +Mahrez hasnt lOoked great. Possibly losing pens too

    6. Jomica
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

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

        1. Jomica
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 days 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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 days 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
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 days 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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 days 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
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

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

  16. KadMan
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 days 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
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    B with Snodgrass?

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Reply fail.

  18. David Davros
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 days 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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

    3. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

  19. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 days 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
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      The underlying question here is Sanchez or Ozil.

      B with Heaton and Sanchez & Sterling & Antonio

    2. dunas_dog

      A

    3. mr gruber
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      A for me

  20. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days 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
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    chances of Benteke and/or Sterling rise tonight?

    1. Le _ Professeur
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Very Low

  22. Le _ Professeur
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Eriksen worth considering at the moment 🙂 ?

    1. KadMan
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days 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
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

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

    3. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days 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
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Ozil or Sanchez?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Sanchez

      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.

        Good points.

    Who to sell for Sanchez?

    A) Tadic
    B) Ramirez

    1. kumast
      • 10 Years

      B

    2. KadMan

      B

    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?

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

    2. tm245

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

      8/10
      Any plans for aguero/sterling

      1. pablo discobar

        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

    Is Wenger goingto have press conference tomorrow?

    Could shed light on whether Alexis is likely to start

      Yeah 9am

      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

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

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Heat/Rob is what the cool kids are doing.

    2. Geri-hatricks
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days 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

      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
      • 12 Years

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

  28. Dr Kenneth Noisewater

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

      Both work.

  29. Sponc

    10 years, 2 days ago

    Where can you see the rise/fall percentages?

    Maybe dumb question

      1. Sponc

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

    Please rate. On WC.
    G: Foster/Heaton
    D:Collins/Baines/Souare/Pieters/Prödl
    M:Özil/Hazard/Sterling/Drinkwater/Fletcher
    F:Costa/Lukaku/Giroud

    Will swap Costa/Giroud for Agüero/Remy when Agüero comes back.

    1. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years

      Not Giroud and not sold on Drinkwater and Fletcher.
      Souare and Prodl strange WC pics
