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.

    Collins not Nailed on??

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      One poster said that; I'm unmoved.

  2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    What you all doing with lemela?

    Is it worth shipping for a hit?

    1. TheEgyptianKing
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not for a hit imo

    2. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      For a hit is crazy isn't it?

      I have him still in my WC team, going for Zaza so dont want Antonia and not fussed on any other 7's..

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Just worried about a 1pt cameo and sanchez or ozil exploding. Not an advocate of hits myself but the sanchez captain worries me.

      Antonio could be good dacra. Gold says there a space for him on the wing I heard on here

  3. TheEgyptianKing
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    My last day to decide who to change Aguero for:

    Kane (Risk, Surely should score, Dembele back next week)
    Lukaku (Got Mirallas, scored 2 for belgium)

    Hmmmm Help me pls

    1. NED KELLY
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku Everton have a nice little run coming up

    2. Net Gains
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Who scored 2 for Belgium, Lukaku or Mirallas?

      My money would definitely be on Lukaku in for Aguero, just look at the fixtures he's got.

      1. TheEgyptianKing
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Lukaku did

    3. Gregorini
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Gotta be lukaku, kane was crap all summer, crap on Sunday and crap every game in between

    4. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku.

      I own Barkley and I'm going with him

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kane . Like you say dembele back next week. People be saving transfer for kun so get on the start of the bandwagon.

      Lukaku a joke . Not scored for months in prem

    6. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Flukaku over Kane for me.

  4. NED KELLY
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Any think Sturridge will play on Saturday

    1. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No.

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Will depend on how game is going.But wouldn't expect him to start but come on for last 20mins more likely.

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

    Hopefully the last of the pick ones

    a. benteke and barkley/ mirallas
    b. lukaku and townsend/ puncheon

    1. NED KELLY
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Defoe Barkley

    3. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      On B atm

    4. Puyol Pants Up

      B

    5. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      B.

  6. Prakatan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    2 wk plan

    Sanchez for Lamela or Redmond then WC. Who would you lose?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      2 weeks - Spurs have the better fixtures, so Redders

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Lose Redmond. Fixtures are becoming poor.

  7. Gregorini
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Wc team, gtg?

    Borucv(pickford)
    Evans, friend, valencia (stones, love)
    Hazard (c), ozil, payet, bolasie (capoue)
    Negredo, ibra (v), lukaku

    Plan to get aguero is payet -> shaqiri and lukaku -> aguero in two weeks (if shaq fit)

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Love not nailed and is Stones going to get any more points per £ than a 4.5 Def from Bournemouth/Sunderland ??

  8. Net Gains
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Do we think Luke Shaw will be fit to play? And same question for Antonio Valencia as apparently he only returned from international duty yesterday?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw seems fine; Valencia could be a risk.

    2. Gregorini
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I think they'll both play

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Start them both imo

      1. Net Gains
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Even over Baines who is on pens and has great fixtures?

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Mmm tricky. Didn't know you had baines. Wait for pressers. I'm staring both and benching stones.

          I'd probably play Shaw if fit.valencia a risk

  9. Think
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this lot !
    Foster Heaton
    Kosc Baines Collins Pieters Kone.
    Hazard ozil Antonio puncheon Fletcher
    Ibra Kane benteke

    1. Sp0rting
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'd WC to something better.

    2. Think
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Amat in place of kone.

      1. Think
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Ozil+Kane+Amat or Sanchez+Lukaku+Kone?

        1. Net Gains
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Definitely the second option, without any doubt

  10. Hodg55
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku, Benteke or Negredo to partner Ibra up front?

    Midfield: Hazard, Sterling, Mane, Ozil, Capoe

    1. NED KELLY
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      There's 3 tiers of strikers here - I'd go with the best one you can afford, so in this case Lukaku.

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kaku

  11. Laserface
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Whom do you think will score the highest FPL points over next 2 weeks ?

    A) Costa
    B) Benteke
    C) Lukaku
    D) Kane
    E) Vardy
    F) Giroud

    1. Sp0rting
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      E

    2. TheEgyptianKing
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      D

    3. U n I t e d
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A or C

  12. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Pick the best Defence

    A
    Given Jaku
    Valencia Williams Masukaku Kone Amat

    B
    Given Jaku
    Valencia Williams Pva Collins Amat

    C
    Foster Jaku
    Valencia PVA Masukaku Pieters Amat

    1. Sp0rting
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      C

    2. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      C but with foster

    3. Brayden29
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      C

    4. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      C. B. A. in that order.

  13. TheEgyptianKing
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else considering Kane? I just have that gut feeling about him, stoke away last season was a field day for tottenham

    No need to take risks as im ranked high up, but sometimes you have that feeling

    1. quarry_settling
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Just did Aguero-> Kane 15 mins back.

      1. TheEgyptianKing
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Not on a wildcard? Might have to follow you

        1. quarry_settling
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Used the FT

    2. Gregorini
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Stoke are missing shaq as well so could be a good shout. Spurs haven't impressed me yet but you could be getting in at the right time

  14. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Repost, thoughts on this?

    Thinking about doing Ramirez ---> Lanzini (-4)

    What worries me about Ramirez is that I've looked at a few predicted line ups and he isn't in a few of them. He played in both internationals for Uru and he still hasn't played 90 minutes in a game for MID. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't start this weekend.

    Lanzini in the other hand has great fixtures and is nailed, playing at 10 (apparently)

    I also own Gray and he is 100% leaving my team next week, due to his impending ban and poor fixtures. Meaning if I do keep Ramirez this week, I will probably also keep him next week.

    With all that in mind is it worth doing?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Is Lanzini nailed?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure. But most are saying he is, at least until Ayew is back.

  15. Brayden29
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is anyone considering going 4 at the back with so many great DEF options? Would then mean getting Haz, Sanchez, Aguero and Ibra.

    1. Gregorini
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Tbh I never go 4 at the back unless otherwise would be a -4

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Absolutely.

  16. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Do we think Costa will rise tonight? Hoping to bank 0.1 before selling for Lukaku..

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I reckon he's on course to get enough transfers so that the price sites have him at 100%. But this isn't the week to take these figures as gospel.

  17. Geriatric Unathletic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Final piece of WC puzzle. I am really struggling to pick and stick with one!?

    Collective assessment required please.

    A. Cech, Evans, Redmond (Bought at 6.0).

    B. Cech, Williams, Puncheon.

    C. Foster (bought 4.5), Kone, Antonio.

    I also have the choice of Costa or Lukaku and have Hazard.

    If I go with C. will also go with Lukaku and have cover for Chelsea, Wham and Everton.

    Comments appreciated.

    1. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      C

  18. Dasher0303
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku Antonio and snoddy or
    Defoe barkley and antonio???

  19. phuang
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Wildcard team:

    Foster,
    Friend, Williams, Souare,
    Hazard (c), Sanchez (v), Sterling, Fer, Antonio,
    Lukaku, Ibrahimovic

    Subs: Diomande, Amat, Valencia

    How's the team looking?

  20. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Which 3 to start?
    Terry
    Valencia
    Stones
    Evans

    1. Gregorini
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Id leave stones out, can't see utd blanking at home to the city def

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      JT Valencia Evans

  21. lasmons
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Defoe / Bony or Zaza long term? And why? No other attackers from the teams. Leaning towards Bony because of earlier history from Swansea.

    1. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Defoe

    2. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I find it hard to gamble on a player that is unproven in the league.

      1. Gregorini
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Depends long term? Id do Bony til xmas cos of fixtures and then you've got the usual 'Sunderland being bothered time' to avoid relegation. I agree with the zaza unproven shout

    3. Net Gains
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Look at it this way: if after 4 or 5 matches getting match fit and match sharp Bony manages to capture his Swansea form, which is a big if, he will be the same as Defoe currently is. Zaza is a total unknown.

      1. lasmons
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Good point. Think I`ll go with Defoe then.

  22. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    One Site just Showed Antonio benched
    With 4-3-3 ( Nordvdelt Kouyate and Noble) And Payet Lanzini Zaza upfront

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      One site? Can't see him being benched at the moment.

    2. pompeyfan
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      probably best to stop trawling for different lineups. you'll always find one that benches your assets! 😉

  23. makaveli123
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Now would be a good time to remove the yellow flag on Shaw.

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      It'll need Mou to do his PC first.

  24. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is Sterling Gonna rise tonight? 89% on Fplstats!!

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Hope so.. want to sell. 🙂

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        ???

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I will sell regardless but the 0.1 would be nice...

  25. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Mane or Firmino selection on Wc seems to be so kneejerking

    Firmino price at 7.9. Will drop soon to 7.8 seems too good.
    Mane on other hand is 8.9 but has pace and eye for goal.

    10 votes to decide which one with a valid reasoning. Thanks

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      You need a valid question first. Firmino is at 8.4.

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Are you sure Firmino is @ 7.9? Look again.

      1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks both. He would be 8.3 soon. So is it worth to spend additional 0.6. Will it reflect in difference in points for next few Gw

  26. timPgoodwin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I have 4.0 ITB, and want to swap out Redmond. Which would give me 10, I already have Lamela, Hazard, Firmino and Capoue. Any suggestions? The move would cost me -4 so if you think it's a move not worth making then let me know too. I am thinking maybe Redmond ---> Ozil / Antonio / Sterling / Nolito.

    1. timPgoodwin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Would maybe wait for the Man City move due to the derby tomorrow.

    2. KeepCalm
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Go for Payet. Only player worth taking the risk for

    3. Moyeschester
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Öz.

  27. DeeGee
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Defoe or Negredo looking for a long term?

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Defoe.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Defoe

  28. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Mirallas > Antonio worth a -4?

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Probably not

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'd lean towards no

  29. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    After much tinkering and very little gain in team value.

    Here is my team for GW4 0.1itb

    Heaton
    Williams Evans Valencia
    Hazard(C) Sanchez(VC) Cazorla Antonio
    Ibrahimovic Benteke Lukaku

    Robinson Copoue Kone Amat

    Your thoughts?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Very nice. Little to argue with there.

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks 12th man.

    2. IWR
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nice.

  30. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Need a bit of help here I want Sanchez and Costa but they involve a hit or losing Mahrez instead of Tadic..so which one people?

    A. Agureo and Tadic > Sanchez and Lukaku
    B. Agureo and Tadic > Ozil and Costa (+0.8million)
    C. Agureo and Tadic and stones > Costa Sanchez and McAuley (-4)
    D. Agureo and Mahrez > Sanchez and Costa

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      If you want Sanchez and Costa then go D pretty good transfers tbf

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Only I went Tadic,Aguero > Sanchez,Bony.

        I would have gone Lukaku if I hadn't already had 2 Everton midfielders.

        1. Feed tha Sheep
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Fair enough I haven't got any Everton at the minute
