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.

    For those looking for a cheap forward and have 0.5m to spare and don't trust Diomande's game time...

    Barrow(swans)
    -GA 5
    -touches in box 10
    -2 corners
    -crosses 17

    Diomande

      KP's...

      Barrow(7) vs Dio(3).

      Only 1 winner.

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

        Is it Diomande?

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

          looks like Diomande isn't a girl's best Friend...

    Holgate looks like a bargain

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

      Not really.. Goalman is back..

  3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

    Good to Go?

    Schmeichel
    Valencia / Evans / Friend
    Redmond / Bolasie / Firmino / Hazard
    Zlatan / Grey / Lukaku

    Jaku / Capoue / Pieters / Stones

    1. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years

      Looks good!

  4. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all, hows this team looking? WC active. Any feedback much appreciated!

    Heaton

    Valencia - JEvans - Walker

    Hazard - Sanchez - Redmond - Snodgrass

    Ibrahimovic - Kane/Lukaku - Negredo

    Subs: Jakupovic, MWilson, Amat, Capoue

    £1.0ITB.

    Kun plan will be Sanchez > Ozil and Kane > Aguero.

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

      I don't think Wilson will play much

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Good team!

      Would go for Lukaku.

      Is Wilson nailed?

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers guys.

        Only reason I picked MWilson is because he is a new signing and hoping he fits into the Bournemouth team somewhere. He left Stoke because of a lack of game time so Id be surprised if he has decided to swap one bench for another. Blind optimism possibly.

        As regards to Lukaku, I really cannot decide between him and Kane. I know Kane hasn't hit any sort of form yet but up against our shambolic defence and Sunderland at home during Kun's absence seems like the one time he could finally fire.

        I want to pick Lukaku but Im worried that as per, Im just going to be trolled by him again?.

        So I guess it bores down to Kane or Lukaku?

  5. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    what's your opinion?

    A) Go with a low ownership 2nd keeper to avoid price falls
    B) go with Jaku or Pickford and hope that they'll play and no mass selling/price dropping on our 2nd keeper

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

      I'm going B with Jak, will address the problem in a few weeks if needed.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Still keep if you were on a wc? Think he'll continue to play?

  6. Christina.

    Bottoms up...

    For those looking for a cheap forward and have 0.5m to spare and don't trust Diomande's game time...

      Good stats!!

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

        Mark was beating his drum in the scoutcast, not sure if he has the balls to get him on his WC though.

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2 HOT TOPICS!

    3. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Barrow surely interesting for a 352 . Getting the feeling that will be the way to play this season

  7. top556677
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    1FT. whos the priority to ship out? Have 4.5m in bank so can upgrade to anyone

    A. Lamela
    B. Redmond
    C. Stones
    D. Morgan

    I'm thinking lamela to sanchez atm...

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      BADC

    2. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Personally Id get rid of Lamela.

    3. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Redmond ofc, whats up with the lamela hate he has great fixtures and is the besy choice from spurs currently

  8. Toothless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Still can't decide what to to do -

    A) Hazard and Benteke/Bony/Iheanacho

    B)Sanchez and Benteke/Bony/Iheanacho

    C)Sterling/Antonio and Costa

    D)Any other suggestions with 2FT and £18.5 to spend

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A, you need Hazard

      1. Toothless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, which striker would you go for with £8.3m left?

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Benteke

    2. Toothless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Or

      E) Kun, Mahrez and Phillips
      -> Hazard, Costa and Antonio for -4 hit?

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

    Morning everyone, great to be over that international break rubbish!

    Help please!! Are there any obvious improvements or changes to this squad... Thanks!

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

    0.1 ITB

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

      Nah looks fine

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Jaku won't play and risk for mass selling and price drops. But would save transfer now

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

        Jaku should get a very slow decline and get down to 3.9 about GW17, if previous seasons are to go by. Certainly not a rush to get him out.

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Would you take him out if you were on a wc?

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

            Probably. He may get a couple more matches but Marshall is a better keeper than McGregor, so chances are very high he'll keep Jaku out. But the only option in the same price range is Pickford who, again, may play this GW but going forwards we've no way of knowing whether he'll stay there. Or go to 4.5 for a playing keeper.

            1. RamaJama
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Thanks a lot! Another option is to play 1st keeper every week and gamble on a non playing 2nd keeper with low ownership to avoid price falls.

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

                I'd rather have a 2nd gk who 'might' play, just in case. If my sub GK drops to 3.9 then it's not a massive problem, really.

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

        Cheers guys, just needed a little positive push... Good luck this GW

    3. Xuey
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      You sure you want Capoue as your forth mid? Aguero plan?

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

        I think Punch would be rotated as 4th. Plus he's scoring better than most anyway. But yeah obviously this won't be the plan forever. Aguero plan would be downgrading Sterling and Bentrke I think.

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

    Keep making knee jerk changes... so please help!

    3-5-2
    Heaton (Marshall)
    Evans, Baines, Valencia (Friend, Amat)
    Hazard, Sterling, Ozil, Firmino, Capoe
    Lukaku, Ibra (Diomande)

    With only 0.2itb

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

    Thoughts?

    Heaton Pickford
    Valencia Williams Evans Kone Amat
    Hazard Sanchez Antonio Puncheon Capoue
    Ibra Costa Lukaku

    1. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Looks great. Think you're finally done BB-8!

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

        Haha. Yes. Think this is it. Been a long 2 weeks with all the tinkering

        1. Bullet Eder
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Aguero plan?

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

            Ibra and Costa out if Ibra isn't firing. Or else Lukaku Costa and downgrade one of the mid's for -4

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

            Pretty much the exact team that i came up with, but do you really trust a 5.5 to be your 4th mid? also according to the masses here Pickford is third choice now.

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

              I can't really find a mid that I like below 7 even if I do Lukaku to Benteke. Pickford could be Robinson just to be safe 🙂

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

                My only worry is when you take out ibra and costa your betting that Aguero lukaku and Benteke(?) will outscore Aguero Ibra and 6.5 everyone else has which is risky. I'm trying to make a team that will either allow me to have Aguero Ibra and Hazard or Aguero Sanchez and Hazard.

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

                  Yes, has to be one of Sanchez or Ibra

  12. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Been waiting 2 weeks to play my 2FT. Should I just pull the trigger on Tadić + Agüero > Sánchez + Lukaku?

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

      You might as well wait for the pressers

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah no rush to do them now, cheers

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

      Wait for pressers

    3. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      yes absolutely.

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

    Anyone going Lanzini over Antonio .6 cheaper

    Does Lanzini play No 10 or LW?
    Thanks

    1. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      10. Payet is LW. He's a good option but Antonio is fit and in form, Lanzini is neither.

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

        Thanks. One to watch then.

  15. anharaia
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    so I think I'm Quite Satisfied with my WC Team

    Heaton - Jaku
    Valencia - Williams - Collins ( Amat, Evans)
    Haz - Sanchez - Ramirez - Antonio - Sterling
    Ibra - Vardy (Diomande)

    Any opinions?

    Now the only problem is to think an Aguero plan hahaha

    Good luck to everyone this week

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I like it all apart fron Ramirez, just don't see Boro scoring enough. What alternatives can you have?

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

        I was think about take a punt with changing

        Ramirez to Wanyama or Fer and keep the extra money in the bank... what do you think?

  16. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I always click Middlesborough instead of midfielders when tinkering. Does anyone else have this problem

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nope. Never.

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

      I get confused with Middlesbrough and mids since both are MID

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I click on milf's by mistake

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

    RMT, used the WC and 0.1. Only worry is no Sanchez and how I would bring back Aguero.
    Heaton, Pickford
    Valencia, Williams, McAuley, Evans, Amat
    Haz, Ozil, Mane, Antonio, Capoue
    Ibra, Lukaku, Benteke

    Thanks

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Looking good

    2. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Looks really good. Ozil should cover Sanchez but you definitely need that Kun plan!

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

      I had this team once 🙂 nice g2g

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

      Cheers guys, may still make some late changes, to hard to contain myself 🙂

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

    Good to go? -4, 2.3m itb

    Foster
    Ivanovic,Valencia,McAuley
    Sanchez(c)Hazard,Barkley,Mirallas
    Ibrahimovic,Bony,Rondon

    Jakopovic,Capoue,Souare,Amat

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

    So a first rmt in years. Could use some help.

    Foster - Heaton

    Valencia - PvA - Masuaku - McCauley - Amat

    Sterling - Haz - Alexis - Antonio - Capoue

    Z - Tekkers - Defoe

    Atm im sitting on that, on wc. 0.1 bank.

    Could go with Sterling > Bark and then use the 0.5 to get Baines. Lanzini tempts me for some reason. Any glaring mistakes?

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

      I'd downgrade Antonio so you can swap Benteke to Lukaku

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

        I wouldn't. I can't see who you would downgrade Antonio to with Capoue already there. Would have to be a 5.5 player - None in that bracket for me, Snodgrass? poor fixtures, Januzaj / Puncheon maybe but not as a playing 4th mid.

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

          Im with you on this. Theres no 5.5 that tempts me atm

  20. Christina.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is Zaza any good? Anyone know much about him?

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Our Italian/Spanish/German football player Zasa reckons he's a good player. Not very pacey, but good finisher and pretty good technically.

      Considering him on that 6 wildcard.

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

        Yeah, him or Antonio could be handy. I dunno where I'm gonna get time to scout over next 2 weeks...

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          1 hour of MOTD 🙂

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

            yeah, also found a site with highlights of all games. handy.

    2. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      People on here don't seem to like him much. He was great for Sassuolo before he joined Juventus and had the best minutes per goal ratio of any Juve striker last season. He's a good option at 7, not the best striker in the game obviously, but reasonable for that price. Great fixtures too.

  21. stachman
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Jaku or Pickford for 2nd keeper? Or maybe Robinson (I have Heaton as 1st choice)

  22. Christina.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Celeb in the House!

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

    Mane or Firmino selection on Wc seems to be so kneejerking

    Firmino price at 8.4. Will drop soon to 8.3 seems 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. Polo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Mane, he's looked frightening every min he's been on the pitch for liverpool so far this season

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

    Sanchez and Redmond

    Or

    Firmino and Payet ...

    1. Polo

      F and P

  25. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Ideally would like wenger to tell us that Alexis came back from international duty with a minor knock and won't start this weekend.

  26. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    1FT, 0.1 ITB - Aguero & Mirallas to Defoe & Sanchez for a -4?

    Schmeichel / Jakupovic

    Shaw / Stones / Friend / Mee / Evans

    Hazard / Tadic / Lamela / Mirallas / Capoue

    Aguero / Ibra / Gray

  27. Costa's Counsellor

    Who is on scout picks?

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

      no idea. don't care really.
      sorry.

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        • 10 Years
