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.

    Jonty speaks in the scoutcast about a need for a cheap 4th mid 5.5-6 or below ish to be able to fit in all the big hitters and I know it's unconventional but I think having an extra defender at that price range in a 4-3-3 is much better value. So many great defenders between 5-6m that will surely out score mids of the same price. For the first season ever I think this could be a genuine option.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      My team:

      Foster
      Valencia / Baines / Williams / PVA
      Hazard / Sanchez / Antonio
      Ibra / Lukaku / Benteke

      Jaku / Capoue / Amat / Fletcher

      I also have funds in the bank to get Aguero for Ibra.

      I appreciate a lot won't like double Everton defence but with the attacking potential of Baines without clean sheets or the bonus potential of Williams with clean sheets I like the risk.

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

        I have also wondered if 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 are good options for this season but are you expecting Aguero Lukaku and Benteke to outscore Aguero Ibra and a 6.5?

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

    I have 4.5 to rotate with Evans

    Stoke or Sunderland

    Pieters or Kone are these two best picks from these two teams?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I think Stoke will keep more clean sheets so Pieters

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

        Thanks.. hope he drops tomorrow as I wouldnt want to lose value on him.

        If he doesn't drop anyone else worth looking at?

        1. pokern1nja09
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Still gonna get him. Will suck up the 0.1 loss, don't want to waste a transfer on a defender down the line

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kone

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

        Ta

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

      Kone, moyes will tighten them up and he's a better goal threat

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

        Kinda thinking the same here, thanks

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

        Tbh I really want PVA

        Lanzini and PVA or Antonio and Kone?

    4. GRM 23
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kone for me, although if Pieters drops 4.4 would be a nice win

    5. The Lastronaught
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Would go for Pieters personally

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

      Kone

      Stoke keepers are suspect until Butland returns

  3. Kings of Lyon ★

    Christina with two sensible hot topics in the last 24hrs. What is the world coming to.

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

      Two in 24 hours? Isn't there a well-known saying about a stopped clock...?

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Hah! I like the way your mind works.

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

        😕

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

      I'm even doing the titles of the HT's as the scouts are useless.

      🙄

  4. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone going without Ibra?

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

      That's the plan, no ibra, no Aguero, going all in on premium mids and defenders

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Hmmmm I'm thinking that way too for a few weeks at least

      2. Big Mac 24
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Same

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

      Not now, but after GW6 when Aguero is coming back.

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

      Hoping the next two-three weeks will shed some light on whether he is really essential, then deciding on WC

  5. Nesvy
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Better pick ?

    ____ >> Sanchez (-4)

    a/ Townsend
    b/ Ramirez
    c/ Keep

    Pick best 6.5 midfielder please...

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Redmond @6.1

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not many out there. Get a 5.5 and spend the 1m elsewhere

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

        Who would yo recommend? Been looking at them as well and just not convinced by any, tbh... Puncheon, Januzaj, Snoddy?

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          If you don't like them, maybe look at Lanzini

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

            Got Antonio

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

            Just brought him into my WC squad instead of Antonio, allowing me to upgrade Collins to Masuaku. The right call or not?

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

      Bolasie

    4. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years

      Snodgrass

      1. Make United Great Again

        ^^

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

          Those fixtures, tho...:(

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

      Puncheon, Lanzini, Redmond.

    6. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Chadli, Januzaj, Redmond, Rodrigues, Peryeya, Snodgrass, Bojan

      slim pickings to be honest

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

      Of all these mentioned, I start to think about Wilshere punt 😀

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

      Cheers guys anyways! 🙂

    9. Big Mac 24
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Do you already have a 4.5 or so enabler? If not then maybe Höjlbjerg and spend the 2m elsewhere - I reckon he's a fixture in that Saints team, and could chip up the odd assist, goal and bonus.

  7. weaver93
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 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.

    Would give me...

    Hazard,Firmino,Lamela,Nolito (De Roon)

    Lukaku, Ibra, Gray.

    What you think fellas of these transfers?

    Cheers

    1. rnrd

      I like it

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

      Great punt.

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

      Nolito...f9...interesting

    4. Big Mac 24
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Would you bench him this tomorrow or do you think City will score?

      1. weaver93
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks lads for the comments..

        Basically, IF he scores/plays well tomorrow..

        Could be a good,differential vs Bournemouth..

      2. weaver93
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Also, I feel City will score...

        Valencia may be absent, Darmian according to media reports
        is out of favour..

        Maybe Jones or Smalling might deputise..

        I'll wait for the presser..

  8. GRM 23
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all,

    Sanchez + Defoe (or other sub 7.2 FWD)
    or
    Ozil + Benteke

    Any thoughts appreciated? Cheers

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez and Defoe

      1. GRM 23
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        cheers, was keen on benteke all along but can't make it fit with Sanchez

    A: Evans
    B: McAuley

    1. Make United Great Again

      B Evans loves an injury

    What are the chances of Daniels/Pieters dropping tonight?
    (Both 4.5, need them at 4.4)

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

      * Francis/Pieters

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

      Daniels is 5m?

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

        Corrected meant Francis,
        What you reckon Chris?

        Foster/Pickford
        Valencia/Williams/Francis/Pieters/Amat
        Sanchez/Hazard/Sterling/Antinio/Capoie
        Ibra/Lukaku/Defoe

        If I had to shave 0.2 if the above don't fall-Where would you get it?

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

          Capoue to a 4.5 gets you 0.1. Defoe to Negredo?

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

            Thanks I thought of this but I'm not convinced, Defoe is a 'fire and forget' option and maybe worth the stretch.
            I'm considering Williams > McaAuley and Defoe > Bentekke?

    3. pokern1nja09
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Pieters been hovering all week, don't think he's going to drop

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

        Yea, on 95% for some time now 🙁

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

    Any sense downgrading Firmino to Snodgrass... so I can get Benteke for Diomande?

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

      what did you do with kun?

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

        Lukaku for Kun

        Also have Ibra

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

    Start Lamela or Evans, Capoue or Stones?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years

      Lamela & Evans 😉

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 11 Years

        Sorry not very good wording... Which 1 to start out of those 4

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Lamela

  14. Andrew
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    2FT's used, good to go?

    Foster (Jakupovic)
    Stones Morgan Valencia (Friend Amat)
    Hazard Ozil Mahrez Lamela (Fletcher)
    Ibra Lukaku Gray

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

    Best front 7?

    A. Hazard, Sanchez, Sterling, Firmino; Benteke, Ibrahimovic, Zaza

    B. Hazard, Ozil, Sterling, Antonio: Benteke, Ibrahimovic, Costa

    Cheers.

    2. The Mighty Whites

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

        Don't like Barkley or Lukaku, as players or FPL assets. I have Baines and he'll do!

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

          Fair enough. Do you think Baines will continue to take pens?

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

            Certainly hope so, otherwise I've wasted 0.5. Think he'll get one more.

              • 12 Years

    Hey guys, need some help on my WC team. Any thoughts on my team would be much appreciated:

    Heaton/Jak
    Valencia/Jagielka/Kingsley/Collins/Evans
    Mane/Sanchez/Hazard/Capoue/Antonio
    Ibra/Lukaku/Stuani

    0.5m in the bank

    Thanks everyone!!

  17. TheR2U4
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    A. Bellerin, Walcott, Coutinho (0.5 itb)
    B. Koscielny, Ozil, Lallana (0 itb)

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'm not a fan of either, but B out of them

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

        Same B

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

      Rather A but you I really prefer Cazorla over Walcott

  18. wolves_simmo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Long term who would you go for?

    A) Bony

    Pros;
    - Surely going to be the focal point of the Stoke attack.
    - £7.3 is a lot cheaper than Lukaku.
    - Hughes says he looks sharp.
    - When at Swansea had a decent FPL record.
    - Decent set of upcoming fixtures

    Cons;
    - Not had a regular run of games for a while.
    - Stoke are somewhat of the boil at the min.

    B) Lukaku

    Pros;
    - Great upcoming fixtures.
    - Focal point of the Everton attack
    - Scored a brace for Belguim midweek...confidence high

    Cons;
    - Very inconsistent
    - At £9.0 the most expensive route into the Everton attack

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'd probably go with Lukaku. Can't see Bony getting too many points in the short team but maybe GW6 onwards.

  19. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Guys what's thought on this one for a (-4)
    Redmond out for

    A) Antonio
    B) Carzola (Have Sanchez)
    C) Keep

    If I keep him I still have to remove him for -4 as I will use next 2 transfers to get Aguero back and I don't want to keep Redmond for more than 2 weeks.
    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A

  20. Super Pav
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    So, I've come to the realisation I'm going to have to get rid of Aguero...

    Thinking...
    A) Aguero + Redmond for Lukaku + Sterling (-4pts)
    B) Aguero for Lukaka/Costa (no hit)

    Had points of 68, 66 and 42 so not too bad so far, thinking I don't need to wildcard to stay above average for the next couple of weeks (ideally want to wildcard GW6).

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone not using the extra money to upgrade elsewhere should just get Kane imo.

      1. Super Pav
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Already got him!

    Which would you go with

    A. Mirallas+Costa (16.3M)

    B. Barkley+Lukaku (16.7)

    Have hazard and no Everton cover as of now for what its worth

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku + Antonio.

      1. Futbol Heritage
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Have Antonio

        1. Karan_G14
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Can you afford Costa & Barkley wouldn't double up on Everton attack.

            • 16 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Couldnt. Let me try playing around my 3rd striker

    What's the likelihood of Aguero dropping to 12.8 before he returns?

    1. Futbol Heritage
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Doubt it with the slow falls seen this season

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

      Many of the transfers out will have been on wildcards, so next week his price could plunge significantly. I'd say 12.8/12.7 is pretty high.

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

      Slim. he still has a high ownership, a lot of whom will be dead teams - and those that have held for one week won't be too keen to sell as he'll only have one game of his suspension left. I'd say him getting to 12.9 is still in the balance, so almost certainly not 12.8.

    4. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      12.9 looks more likely. But maybe he touches 12.8 by the time GW 5 starts.

    Foster
    Valencia-Williams-Evans
    Sanchez-Hazard-Lamela-Townsend
    Ibra-Gray-Lukaku(c)

    Subs - Heaton - Capoue - Stones - Friend

    G2G?

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

      Maybe. You sure about Kak as Captain?

  24. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Wildcard team.

    Pull it apart please. £2.5m ITB to bring Aguero back in for GW6 for Kane

    Foster / Heaton

    Azpilicueta – Valencia – Stones (Williams – Souare)

    Ozil – Sterling – Willian – Feghouli (Capoue)

    Kane – Lukaku – Benteke

    1. Andrew
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Light in midfield, maybe downgrade defence a bit

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Can't even think of going into this week without Hazard & Ibra.

    3. Futbol Heritage
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Too much on defence

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

      Why would you ignore Hazard on a wildcard? I like Willian but I don't think he will keep pace with Haz.

    Sanchez, Ospina arrived back last night. Iwobi back in squad. Ramsey back for PSG. Wenger says he hasn't decided if Mustafi, Perez will play

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Really curious to see if Ramsey takes Carzola's spot.

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

        Surely Walcott will be dropped before Caz no?

    2. Andrew
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I thought it said Ramsey not ready for tomorrow or Tuesday?

      1. Big Mac 24
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Agree

  26. Del Monte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Coleman or Baines?

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

      Baines for pens?

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

      Baines

    3. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Baines. On pens

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

      Williams, Lukaku will be on pens

  27. reason17

    Are we to assume mika will take pickford's place as the first team goalkeeper?

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

      Not necessarily this GW, but soon enough.

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

      Not necessarily. But we do have the benefit of hearing DM's press conference later which may throw some light on the issue.

  28. allaboutthemagic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Start Kouyate or Redmond?
    Caption Gray or Hazard?!

    Do you see it coming?

    That 10+ haul point from Tadic at the Emirates trolling us all sellers? 😀

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

      Lol guaranteed to happen. I still own him at this point.

    Corrrr it's tough this week, anyone else finding they are changing their team every other minute? Nearly there though.

    So who fancies Lanzini and Sanchez or who prefers Antonio and Ozil? Cheers
