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.

    Another tinker. Quite liking this team?;

    Heaton

    Valencia - JEvans - Friend

    Hazard - Ozil - Barkley - Snodgrass

    Ibrahimovic - Kane - Negredo

    subs: Jakupovic - MWilson - Capoue - Amat.

    £2.1ITB for "Bring back Kun" plan. Kane > Kun.

      think quite a few people have been changing friend lately and negredo - after people checking stats he was lucky to have the goals

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

        Why people changing Friend?

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

          They have said there is better options at the same value and more likely to keep clean sheets etc but I'm not sure think I might still keep him

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

    A) Sanchez, Barkley, Zaza, Benteke

    B) Ozil, Snoddy, Lukaku, Costa

            Does he have a good record against Sun?

  6. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Think ive settled on this, anyone rip it apart?

    Foster (Jaku)
    Valencia - Williams - Collins / Evans / Amat
    Haz - Sanchez - Sterling - Lamela (Capoue)
    Zaza - Ibra - Lukaku

    Exactly 0.0itb, will make 0.1 if Costa rises tonight.

    1. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I will reconsider Zaza as he is unproven in pl and never played a single game with WH. Not really impressed with his career to include him directly in my team

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

      Looks good to me. Lamela one to be wary of since I've a feeling he won't play much with CL on the horizon

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

      Get rid of Lamela + Zaza. Antonio/Lanzini + Tekkers/Defoe?

  7. Scholes Balls
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Who should I get to replace Aguero?
    I am really overthibking this guys and any advice is welcome.
    2Fts Attack:
    Lamela Barkley Firmino Haz (fletcher)
    Rondon Ibra Kun

  8. MFPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Which option?
    A) Sanchez + Diomande (rotation between Diomande, Evans and Capoue for a starting spot)
    B) Ozil + Rondon

    Rest of team:
    Foster (Jakupovic)
    Valencia Williams Masuaku Evans (Amat)

      1. MFPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Could go Cazorla, Sterling (for Mane) and Benteke with 2.1m ITB), thoughts?

        1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
          • 12 Years

          Mane Cazorla Tekkers spend it 🙂

  9. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 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.

  10. weaver93
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Mornin lads

    My attack is as follows.

    Hazard,Firmino,Lamela,Redmond (De Roon)

    Kun, Ibra, Gray.

    2FT. 1m ITB

    On the Blue Moon forum, they are tipping Nolito to be the false 9...(Sane,Sterling,Silva,De Bruyne behind him)

    Thinking of Kun - Lukaku
    Redmond - Nolito.
    What you think fellas of these transfers?

    Cheers

  11. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Where's everyones captain for GW4

    I'm currently on Hazard Sanchez(VC) keeps changing every hour.

    If in doubt play the Home player?

    1. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Currently on Haz as capt but unsure.

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ibra is mine. Hazard vice. Would put both ahead of Sanchez

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

        Reason being? Can't see what makes Ibra a better captain than Sanchez. He's not a big game player, he's a flat track bully

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          City's defensive set up being the main reason. Expect United to run riot tbh

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

      Haz. Certain.

  12. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Team check. How's she looking?

    Foster
    Valencia Williams Friend
    Alexis(vc) Hazard(c) Firmino Lamela
    Ibrahimovich Benteke Negredo

    Jakupovic Capoue Stones Amat

    -4

      as good as a team can look with Ibra Alexis and Haz

    4. Moyeschester

      Looks good.

    5. jmcclory123
      • 12 Years

      I like it, Lamela/Negredo combo only thing that sticks out to me but if you're happy then maith thú

    6. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino, Lamela, Negredo, Stones and Jaku all need booting.

      Rating: 6/10 😉

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

        Whats wrong with Firmino Lamela and Negredo?

        1. jmcclory123
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Negredo's underlying stats and Lamela's game time under question

        2. Jafalad
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Firmino hasn't done anything. Lamela isn't heavy enough and Negredo has poor underlying stats acc to Jonty the Dullard.

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

            Negredo is a cash cow with a goal and 2 assists. Best in the 6.5 range.

            Firmino has the highest number of Key Passes for all mids.

            Lamela is unsure for this game but i get your point.

            Firmino/Lamela are going for a 1 week City punt next week before i wildcard.

            1. Jafalad
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Negredo - won't keep it up imo. Plays for a poor team with no stats to back him up when the going gets heavy.

              Firmino - need to see some points from him to make an assessment.

            2. Pasqualinho
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              I agree. Negredo is ticking over. He's one of those players where FPL managers have made up their minds and then use the stats to try and justify their prejudice. He's been involved in all of Midd's goals so far, and, of course, that will regress - but nevertheless when they score he's got a great chance of picking up some points.

      Is there an aguero plan? if so, you're frontline may be a little weak no?

  14. Firminooooo

    No WC, Aguero/Lamela to Benteke/Sanchez for -4.

    Heaton (Foster)
    Valencia Evans Stones (Friend Amat)
    Firmino Hazard Sanchez Redmond (Watson)
    Ibrahimovic Benteke Gray

    A Play Heaton or Foster?
    B Play Redmond or Friend? (433)

    MH on team news: Shaqiri is out (calf). Geoff Cameron & Ramadan didn't come back until yesterday so we'll check on them today. #SCFC

    1. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Is Bony worth a punt?

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

        I'll monitor him over the next 2 gws

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

        Certainly

  16. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Ramirez -> Barkley or Antonio surely worth a hit, considering I also have Lamela at risk of not starting?

    1. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Agreed. Barkers for me.

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

        Thanks, leaning that way myseff, although hard to call. Everton better form might sway it

    2. Moyeschester
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'd pull the trigger.

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

        Thanks - who would you prefer, Barky or Anton?

        1. Moyeschester
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I have Antonio right now, but still undecided. Like em both.

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

      I'd go Antonio.

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

        Thanks - need to spend the evening mulling about that one. Got no other Everton cover , though

  17. chojy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez + Anotonio or Ozil + Payet??

    1. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      SanAn

    2. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      OP

    3. jmcclory123
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Similar problem as me. Leaning toward Sanchez as Payet's game time may be limited upon return.

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

        No way. Payet is their best player by miles, plus no Europa league now. Antonio and Lanzini a bigger risk IMO

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

        Really not sure to go with this one, WH have 4 home games from their next 6 games, plus I think now would be the time that payet shows form. Seriously clueless with this problem.

    4. Moyeschester
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      For now I like S & A .

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

        9 years, 7 months ago

        This

  18. SuperMario
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Foster // Jaku
    Shaw // Terry // Stones // Friend // Amat
    Hazard // Redmond // Townsend // Ramirez // Capoue
    Ibra // Aguero // Vardy

    2 FT and 0.0 in the bank..

    1. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Is Lukaku and Antonio in for Aguero and Ramirez (free) the moves gents? Or anything else worth considering

      1. Moyeschester
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah go for it.

    2. Jafalad

        Thanks, how annoying! Do you think Lamela> sanchez (-4) for a two week punt is worth it?

        Do you know when lamela got back from int duty?

      I would rule out:

      Costa given his track record of yellows already this season for giving it to the refs, the new rule doesn't suit him and the yellows tend to hurt him for bonus.

      Lukaku is the biggest troll and I expect his captaincy to be lowish so he would be my last pick out of the bunch.

      The two best options are Hazard and Sanchez. You'll get a mixed bag of responses on here, I'd bare in mind that hazard is on pens but the most important thing is that you have Hazard and Costa so might be worth hedging your Chelsea exposure and go with Sanchez

    Captaincy dilemma Alexis vs Hazard

    Alexis
    - He's streaky historically so with his explosion last week, it might be a start of his potential streak
    - Playing at home
    - Higher possibility of blank which is never a good quality for a captain

    Hazard
    - On top form
    - vs Swansea who are performing worse defensively than Southampton
    - Prone to away day blues

    Foster
    Valencia Williams McAuley
    Hazard(C) Sanchez(vc) Ozil Antonio
    Ibra Benteke Defoe

    Pickford, Capoue, Smith, Amat.

    Good to go?
