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.

    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.

      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
        10 years, 1 month 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…
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think Stoke will keep more clean sheets so Pieters

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        10 years, 1 month 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
          10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kone

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ta

    3. Polo
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Kinda thinking the same here, thanks

      2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Tbh I really want PVA

        Lanzini and PVA or Antonio and Kone?

    4. GRM 23
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    5. The Lastronaught
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Would go for Pieters personally

    6. Jersey
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kone

      Stoke keepers are suspect until Butland returns

  3. Kings of Lyon ★
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Pasqualinho
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hah! I like the way your mind works.

      2. Christina.
        10 years, 1 month ago

        😕

    2. Christina.
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      🙄

  4. Danno - Emre Canada
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone going without Ibra?

    1. Polo
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

      2. Big Mac 24
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Same

    2. CloudSky
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  5. Nesvy
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Better pick ?

    ____ >> Sanchez (-4)

    a/ Townsend
    b/ Ramirez
    c/ Keep

  6. stachman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Pick best 6.5 midfielder please...

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Redmond @6.1

    2. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. stachman
        10 years, 1 month 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
          10 years, 1 month ago

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

          1. stachman
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Got Antonio

          2. Andy_Social
            10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bolasie

    4. Kings of Lyon ★
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Snodgrass

      1. Make United Great Again
        10 years, 1 month ago

        ^^

        1. stachman
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Those fixtures, tho...:(

    5. CloudSky
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Puncheon, Lanzini, Redmond.

    6. Dr. Rog
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      slim pickings to be honest

    7. stachman
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    8. stachman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers guys anyways! 🙂

    9. Big Mac 24
      10 years, 1 month 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
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I like it

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Great punt.

    3. Christina.
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nolito...f9...interesting

    4. Big Mac 24
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. weaver93
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks lads for the comments..

        Basically, IF he scores/plays well tomorrow..

        Could be a good,differential vs Bournemouth..

      2. weaver93
        10 years, 1 month 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
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Morning all,

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

    Any thoughts appreciated? Cheers

    1. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez and Defoe

      1. GRM 23
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

      2. Big Mac 24

        This

  9. CloudSky

    The last piece in the puzzle.

    A: Evans
    B: McAuley

    1. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B Evans loves an injury

    2. Jafalad

    4. Make United Great Again

  11. HVT
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. HVT
      10 years, 1 month ago

      * Francis/Pieters

    2. Christina.
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Daniels is 5m?

      1. HVT
        10 years, 1 month 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
          10 years, 1 month ago

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

          1. HVT
            10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. HVT
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yea, on 95% for some time now 🙁

  12. Hodg55
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Christina.
      10 years, 1 month ago

      what did you do with kun?

      1. Hodg55
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Lukaku for Kun

        Also have Ibra

  13. The Mighty Whites
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Start Lamela or Evans, Capoue or Stones?

    1. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lamela & Evans 😉

      1. The Mighty Whites
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. Make United Great Again
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Lamela

  14. Andrew
    10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

    Best front 7?

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

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

    Cheers.

      Why are you avoiding Evertons attackers?

      1. Bullet Eder
        10 years, 1 month 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…
          10 years, 1 month ago

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

          1. Bullet Eder
            10 years, 1 month ago

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

            1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Great pick anyway with FKs etc I can't find .4 from my team to fund him.

    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
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Same B

    2. rnrd
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Rather A but you I really prefer Cazorla over Walcott

  18. wolves_simmo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month 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
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

  20. Super Pav
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Super Pav
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Already got him!

  21. Futbol Heritage
    10 years, 1 month ago

    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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku + Antonio.

      1. Futbol Heritage
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Have Antonio

        1. Karan_G14
          10 years, 1 month ago

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

          1. Futbol Heritage
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Couldnt. Let me try playing around my 3rd striker

  22. Make United Great Again
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Futbol Heritage
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt it with the slow falls seen this season

    2. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  23. jai1212
    10 years, 1 month ago

    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…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe. You sure about Kak as Captain?

  24. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Light in midfield, maybe downgrade defence a bit

    2. Karan_G14
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. Futbol Heritage
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Too much on defence

    4. Count of Monte Hristo
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  25. Lateriser 12

    John Cross ‏@johncrossmirror 13s14 seconds ago
    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
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

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

      Not necessarily this GW, but soon enough.

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

    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
