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.

    Morning all, any team news from yesterday got u thinking of tinkering with ur team anymore ?

  2. thepeen555
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    So friend and pieters still haven't dropped

    Foster still not moved up - can't keep waiting now will have to do the transfers

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Are Peters and Friend injured?

      1. thepeen555
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Friend was and don't think he is anymore, but I don't think pieters was

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      You still have 26 hours. Foster and Pieters should up and down, Friend is back too -2.4 though.

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Pieters on -95

        Dont think he'd drop!

      2. thepeen555
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah it just means doing them in the morning - Saturday morning can be quite busy and Risky leaving it late - with their website traffic issues

    3. Indio
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yep it's annoying - I need Foster's rise to afford by preferred WC draft.

  3. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Play Redmond or Capoue?
    Should Capoue just be nailed to the bench despite his great start to the season?!

    1. COYS Down Under
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nothing in life is certain but given the arrival of Pereyra I'd expect Capoue to do little in the future.

      Play Redmond 100%

      1. bigbudgie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks.

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Redmond for sure

    3. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Redmond imo

      Good chance of a goal!

    4. Indio
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It's quite close given his fixture, but I'd play Redmond

  4. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    RMWCT Team!! 3-5-2 With No Zlatan!!

    Given | Jakupovic
    Valencia | PVA | Williams| Collins |Amat
    Hazard | Sanchez | Firmino | Payet | Antonio
    Costa | Defoe| Diomande

    0.4 M ITB

    Costa > Zlatan ( STK) (Gw6)
    Sanchez> 7.5 Mid( Gw6)

    Zlatan > Kun ( Gw8)

    Thoughts on my Kun Zlatan Plans??

    1. Demel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Any team with a non playing striker is a no from me.

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Replace Antonio with Zaza! Is it fine now?

        1. Demel
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I am not convinced by Zaza either to be honest.

  5. FootballManiac
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    opinions on mirallas as an option on the WC?..great fixs..takes freekicks and corners and koeman likes him..and great stats......

    1. Mince n Tatties
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I currently have him - but may ship out for Antonio as also have Baines and Likaku which seems over kill. What other Everton do you have? Who are your front 3?

      1. FootballManiac
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I only have Williams from evrton atm.. my strikers are..ibra,costa and benteke..

  6. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Last choice to finish off my WC.

    A: McAuley
    B: Evans

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Evans. Both good, but younger, slightly more nailed and more highly rated.

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Evans. Saves you 0.2m

    3. Demel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Evans for value and BP. McAuley for goals.

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

    How's she looking?

    Foster Pickford
    Valencia Williams Pieters Evans Amat
    Hazard Sanchez Antonio Puncheon Capoue
    Ibra Costa Lukaku

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Puncheon?

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

        Yes. Should be nailed on after the Remy injury. Will move him to Snodgrass/ Januzaj in a couple of weeks

  8. pax888
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    On wildcard!

    Who are the best 2 budget strikers?

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Depends on what you define as budget. What's your cutoff?

      1. pax888
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        7.5m.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Benteke, Bony, Negredo in that order

        2. TokyoRisingSun
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Bony, Benteke and Defoe. Potentially Gray if he doesn't get banned.

        3. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Tekkers, Zaza and Bony all lovely options. I'd play the fixtures and go with the first 2 personally.

  9. FPL Virgin

    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Mornin'.

    On this week's Scoutcast, Mark said he had to share his team with a hundred thousand people. Does anyone have a link to his team please? I can't find it.

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He broadcasted it on the official FPL website video when the season started. Not sure if he's done a similar video since

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He should use the opportunity to troll all the casuals.

  10. Kevtheotter
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Best 4.0 and 4.5 Keeper rotation?

    Foster and Jaku?

    Heaton and Pickford?

    Someone else?

    Cheers

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I have Foster and Pickford. Reason being I rate WBA higher as a defensive team, plus Jaku isn't as nailed now that Marshall has signed. Pickford isn't 100% either, but slim pickings at 4.0

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        4.5/4.6 Foster and Heaton - swings and roundabouts.
        However bot h4.0/4.1 options will prolly now be dropped as replacements have been drafted in. So your 4.5/4.6 option will have to be played every GW.

  11. Earl Hebner
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    RMWCT please!

    Heaton (Foster)
    Koscielny-Williams-Collins (Valencia) (Amat)
    Hazard-Sanchez-Antonio-Puncheon (Maloney)

      Goo solid team mate!

  13. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Pick one

    a. sanchez mirallas
    b. ozil barkley

    1. BB-8

      A

    2. C_G

      Ozil & Lukaku

    3. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Don't pick Mirallas or Barkley

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Bolasie? Has to be one of them

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Barkley then..

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

        Why not? Both in good form

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I just don't trust both of them...Barkley if had to be one..

  14. C_G

    refuse to WC, and took a (-4) to get this:

    Am I gtg?

    Foster

    Valencia Walker Friend

    Haz(c) Mané Ozil Redmond

    Lukaku Ibra Gray

    Bench - Jaku Capoue Stones Amat

    1. DaddyPig

      As good as most wildcard teams anyway. Good job!

  15. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Pick 3 to start,
    Friend, Collins, Valencia, Holgate, Evans
    Currently on FCV

    1. DaddyPig
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Collins Valencia Evans

  16. Jacob123
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Rate my wildcard team:

    GK - Heaton (Pickford)

    DEF - Shaw, Williams, McAuley (Friend, Amat)

    MID - Hazard, Ozil, Sterling, Antonio (Fletcher)

    FOR - Lukaku, Bony, Ibra

    I have 0.6 milllion in the bank. Then after 2 GW I'm using my 2 FT to get Aguero back.

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      We have the same starting 11 except I have Costa over Kaku and Foster over Heaton

  17. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    2 early morning questions....

    Who to bench....

    A....Stones at utd

    B...Kone v Everton

    Is lamela to Antonio worth a hit with lamela likely to be rested?

    Subs are capoue and kone/ stones

    Thanks

    1. Strchld
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Dont take a hit.
      If Lamela doesnt play you can play Capoue who can easily scores.

  18. flippetyflop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Redmond out for Walcott or Ozil??

    1. Jacob123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ozil for sure.

    2. Indio
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Defo, if you can afford it Redmond > Ozil is a great move

    3. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      ozill

  19. Indio
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I know Costa isn't everyone's cup of tea (especially at his price point), but apart from that are there any obvious errors in this WC draft? Thanks all.

    Heaton/Robinson
    Baines, Valencia, Evans, Friend, Amat
    Haz, Ozil, Sterling, Antonio, Capo
    Ibra, Costa, Tekkers

    (Need Foster's long-teased rise to afford this team, if not I'll have to downgrade Capo or go with Defoe over Tekkers instead)

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nothing wrong with it - it's a great squad. Good luck with the overnight price rise!

    2. Demel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I would go with Defoe anyway if that helps. Have you got a plan to bring Kun back?

    3. Kane Toads
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good to me. You have an Aguero plan by the looks also..? I'm thinking of Ozil + Costa. Perhaps Friend out for Kone?

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Can improve the defence a bit
        How about this?

        Foster 4.0
        Valencia Williams Pva Pieters Amat

        1. Indio
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          That's nice, will think about that !

      2. Indio
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks all - very interesting feedback.

        My plan to get Kun back is that I have no plan - I know it sounds crazy, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get a team I really wanted with a clear 2FT 'path' to do it, and having pressed the WC button I figured the best use of it (and my decent TV) was to spread the cash around.

  20. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    wc active...

    heaton,foster
    stone,walker, william,mcauley,kingsley
    hazard,lamela,capoue,ozil,redmond
    ibra,benteke,lukaku..

    or should go costa defoe..??

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Tekkers and Lucky have the fixtures but not the for; Costa and Defoe vice versa - your call!

    D.Costa (C) over Hazard (C) anyone?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Could be a good alternative...

    2. Brayden29

      Bonus points are an issue however

  24. Mince n Tatties

    Morning Lads n Lassies - Is Masuaku nailed on for West Ham?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He is.

      1. Mince n Tatties
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Would you play over Collins - lots going for the cheaper defender

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Better option than Collins since he's actually nailed. Collins isn't even one of the 2 best CBs at West Ham

          1. Mince n Tatties
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Cheers - was thinking the same re Collins

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      yes

    3. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes for now, until Cresswell is back in Nov

      1. Mince n Tatties
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thought Byram would go for Cresswell - has he switched sides?

  25. flippetyflop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    A B or C please guys!
    A - Redmond to Ozil for a -4
    B - Do nothing
    C - Wildcard!

  26. UpAndAway
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I've sacrificed Benteke for Negoredo so that I can fit Heaton instead of Pickford.

    Wise move?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      You need a playing keeper, but who's your second keeper?

      1. UpAndAway
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Foster.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Then you don't need Heaton and Foster so keep Benteke.

          Thing about rotating Heaton and Foster is that you run a 50% chance of the higher scorer being on your bench.

          1. UpAndAway
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Benteke and Januzaj or Negredo and Puncheon then?

  27. Demel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Am I on my own looking to bring Kane in?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I have a gut feeling about him ...

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I am with you Demel...Seriously Considering Kane.

    3. Demel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      We know he has the pedigree.
      We know he has done this before.
      We know he scores goals.
      With Ali back (after being ill against Pool) he will be back up top
      He has great fixtures
      He is likely to be my captain.

      Very nice. I assume you'll often bench Dio for Capoue? Personally I'd start Evans instead of Dio and go 442

      Well he is probably going to be involved if WBA score, however WBA scoring is quite unlikely, avoid imo

      Don't think he will suit WBA as they try to grind out clean sheets
