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.

      And no television jokes. It's been done.

    best 4.5m defenders?

    1. DaddyPig
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Evans?

    2. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Look to West Brom

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

      kone, holebas, pietres, evans

  3. MFPL
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Current WC team:

    Foster (Jakupovic)
    Valencia Williams Masuaku Evans (Amat)
    Hazard **** Mane Antonio ****
    Ibra Lukaku ****

    For the missing spots:
    A) Sanchez + Capoue + Diomande (rotation between Evans, Capoue and Diomande + 0.9m ITB)
    B) Ozil + Rondon + Capoue (3-4-3 every week, 0.3m ITB)
    C) Sanchez + Puncheon + Capoue (3-5-2, 0,ITB)

    1. DaddyPig
      10 years, 1 month ago

      C without a doubt! Well that's why I've got.

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      C has three mids in it.

      1. MFPL
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Was meant to be Diomande instead of Capoue, silly mistake.

        1. Lord Flashheart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 1 month ago

          then c

    3. kenzo.
      10 years, 1 month ago

      how about C with Valencia/Baines instead of Puncheon and play a 4-4-2?

  4. Andy_Social
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What do you reckon?

    Steklenberg, Pickles
    Monreal, Valencia, Baines, Masuaku, Evans
    Sterling, Ozil, Payet, Lanzini, Capoue
    Ibra, Costa, Diomande

    GW6 2FT Costa + Payet > Kun + 6.7 Mid - maybe. I'm not fundamentalist about rushing Kun back; we'll see.

    1. DaddyPig
      10 years, 1 month ago

      How do you feel not having Sanchez?

      1. Andy_Social
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Nervous, but I've got Ozil. More serious is not having Hazard. Can't fit 'em all in!

        1. DaddyPig
          10 years, 1 month ago

          That's true, it's a gamble every week isn't it. Good luck!

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not sold on the WH double up in midfield. Are you intending to play 4-4-2 every week?

      1. Andy_Social
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Dio's bench fodder, so 352/442.
        The WH double is for fixtures, and will change when I bring Kun back.

  5. Niemi
    10 years, 1 month ago

    After reading todays hot topic about Benteke and Bony being overpriced, I'm considering this:

    A) Benteke + Evans (4th def)

    1. Niemi
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B) Bellerin + Barrow (3rd striker, bench)

    2. DaddyPig
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Silly question but whew can I find the hot topics these days? Thanks.

      1. Niemi
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Scroll up and hit "hot topics" under the scout picks XI on the right side.

        1. DaddyPig
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks so much buddy.

    Marc Wilson - expected to start for BOU?

    1. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Unlikely

  7. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    my WC is done - the hard part was to ditch ibra - once you get used to that its smooth sailing. what do you think?

    Cech, Pickford
    Valencia, Baines, mcaully, kone, amat
    Hazard, sanchez, firmino, antonio, capoue
    Kane, benteke, bony

    the difference between ibra and kane was to upgrade sterling to firmino and heaton/foster to cech/pickford

    gtg?

    1. Sánchez
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Get ibra

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        i can, but for that i need to change cech to heaton/foster. worth it?

    2. Vamonos
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I like the idea of Cech but why not go for Foster instead and invest the monies elsewhere?

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        i believe cech will outscore foster significantly - also mc or evans are similar price substitutes, while cech is cheaper than all his defense

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

      On paper the team looks very solid, but some of the players are not i form and that can be an issue.
      But it can also be a great success, so its a gamble 🙂

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        true...

    4. Get in ma Dembele
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think Ibra is essential, especially on a WC as you'll regret it. Kane is yet to score and looks pretty poor, could pay off but any goals Ibra scores, 55% of the game are going to benefit

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        i know, but - the derby will be tough, and then fixtures are mostly poor.

    5. Jönny
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I like it in principle, but if you actually look at the players in your penultimate sentence in terms of form...

      > You've ditched the joint highest scoring striker for one who is yet to score a goal
      > You've ditched an in-form midfielder for one who has picked up a jammy assist and nothing else
      > And you've switched two goalkeepers who are both nailed on and who are the second and third highest scorers in their position, for one who has conceded 5 goals in three games and one who may be about to lose his spot.

      Obviously you don't get their historical points, and it's only 3 weeks worth of form, but I don't know how much better shape you're in by not having Ibra...

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        those are some very good comments and will take under consideration. i just feel a shift coming and trying to be ahead of the curve - always a dangerous thing to do i agree.

        1. Jönny
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I would say it is a bold move. Which is not necessarily a criticism!

    6. pompeyfan
      10 years, 1 month ago

      none of your strikers have any form at all. Also no Man Utd attacking cover.

  8. Ponduskongen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Had a hard time deciding between Sanchez and Ozil, so instead i picked them both 🙂

    Heaton - Jakupivic
    Valencia - Williams - Kone ( Amat, Evans)
    Hazard - Sanchez - Capoue - Antonio - Ozil
    Ibrahimovic - Lukaku - (Barrow)

    Good to go? or should i try to sort out a second safer goalkeeper?

    1. reason17
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sort out the Ozil + Sanchez situation first

    2. LC1
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ozil to Sterling upgrade Barrow

    3. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Heaton will make up in save points what he loses in clean sheet points so you're okay.

      Is your intention to drop Sanchez and get Kun in in 2 GWs? If so, a temp Sanzil option is doable.

    4. Ponduskongen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez have to stay for 2 GWs, since that is my Kun plan.
      One option is dropping Ozil to Sterling and use the founds (1,7) to upgrade other players

  9. jennmenn
    10 years, 1 month ago

    a) Redmond and PVA
    b) Snodg and Baines
    ?

  10. reason17
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Foster in goals, I have 4.6 for a defender, who should I pick?

    1. reason17
      10 years, 1 month ago

      4.7*

      1. Vamonos
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Collins

  11. nikush
    10 years, 1 month ago

    On wildcard.

    Cech/Pickford
    Baines/Valencia/Amat/McAuley/Collins
    Hazard/Capoue/Ozil/Sterling/ 5.6
    Ibra/Lukaku/Benteke

    Need Antonio in the middle..
    Thinking of Ozil->Cazorla and make money..
    need suggestions..

    1. Vamonos
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Baines to 5.0 defender, Cech to Foster, 5.6 > Antonio

      1. nikush
        10 years, 1 month ago

        thanks..
        But, without any Arsenal defender, I put Cech as Arsenal defense cover with their coming fixtures..

        Is it really a headache to think much on Sanchez or Ozil !!!
        Taking my head away since past 4 days 🙁

    2. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ozil is nailed on. Caz, despite his great start, could be under threat from Rambo.

      1. nikush
        10 years, 1 month ago

        thanks dude 🙂

    3. stachman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cech > Heaton
      McAuley > Evans
      Collins > 4.0 benchfodder... You got Capoue and Amat to come from bench

      1. nikush
        10 years, 1 month ago

        looks perfect 🙂

      2. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        this

        1. nikush
          10 years, 1 month ago

          nop..

          Cech > Heaton
          McAuley > Evans
          Collins > 4.0 benchfodder... You got Capoue and Amat to come from bench

          your thoughts ??

    4. nikush
      10 years, 1 month ago

      What about forward selections !!

  12. Arctic_Orangutans
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Kaku not scored in PL since March, jeeeez

    Here's Bolivian Seaman with his latest look at the fans' forums

  15. reason17
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is doubling up on west brom defence silly?
    I have foster-Heaton- mcauley

    Should I switch mcauley? If so, to who?

    1. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not at all. Price and fixtures make a double very tasty.

  16. Futbol Heritage
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Slight variation on my earlier question

    A. Lamela+Costa+Negredo
    B. Barkley+Lulu+Negredo
    C. Barkley+Costa+Rondon

  17. Manchester 17
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking of getting rid of Negredo next week as fixtures turn. Have 0.0 ITB.
    Who should I get to replace him?
    Rest of the team is:
    Heaton/Jaku
    Shaw, Kosc, Williams, Amat, Love
    Hazard, Ozil, Barkley, Lamela, Maloney
    Ibra, Lukaku, Negredo
    Thanks

  18. LC1
    10 years, 1 month ago

    a) Pickford & PVA
    b) Jaku & Collins + 0.3

    I highly doubt Pickford will play now Sunderland have signed a keeper.. And 0.1 off of having Jaku & PVA 🙁

    Wenger: Sanchez and ospina I havent seen yet!

    Oh dear

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Do we have to go over this again? Sanchez always starts

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

      Wenger: "Sanchez and Ospina I haven't seen yet [got back last night]. Iwobi is back in the squad, Ramsey not ready for tomorrow or Tuesday."

  20. Net Gains
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Quick one for United fans or general FPL geniuses...

    Should I keep Valencia in Shaw in defence or lose one of them for Baines? I'm wildcarding and thinking long-term but also want to know about their availability this week (Valencia just got back yesterday from internationals and Shaw may be injured?)

    Thanks so much!

  21. SirStevieG
    10 years, 1 month ago

    RMWCT Please!

    Foster (Pickford)
    Williams, McAuley, Collins (Gibson, Amat)
    Sanchez, Hazard, Sterling, Antonio (Capoue)
    Lukaku, Ibrahimovic, Defoe

    Is no United or Arsenal defenders a worry?

  22. Wings Fan
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who to bench?

    Valencia, Stones, Morgan, Friend

  23. Bullet Eder
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Sane could be the punt of all punts at 7.8. I think he'll start tomorrow.

  24. McSlu
    10 years, 1 month ago

    WCT - ready to go?

    Foster (Pick)
    Baines - Collins - Valencia (Amat, Evans)

    Haz, Sanches, Bolasie, Antonio (Capoue)

    Ibra, Lukaku, Negredo

    1.4 ITB

    Aguero plan GW6: Lukaku and Sanches -> Aguero and Sterling

    Wondering

    Lukaku-> Costa?
    Baines -> Williams and Negredo -> Defoe?

  25. Unconstitutional
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I'm on wild card. My defence kinda sucks. But I'm happy with my front VII.

    Foster, Jaku
    Valencia, J Evans, Williams, (Kingsley, Amat)
    Sanchez, Hazard, Sterling, Redmond (Maloney)
    Costa, Ibra, Benteke.

    Thoughts? Open to downgrading someone up front to beef my defence up.

    1. Bullet Eder
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Defence is good. Don't worry about it.

    2. Jersey
      10 years, 1 month ago

      keeping both Kingsley and Amat is a recipe for disaster.

      on wildcard, this type of problem must be repaired. harder to do later.

      don't know your $. upgrade Kingsley at least to a 4.5. there are plenty who are solid.

  26. Attaka
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I can NOT decide what to do in my draft league. I really like and want Remy when he is back from injury. I traded him out last night for Defoe (3rd Striker) and brought in Capoue to fund it. However now im wondering whether to get him back in and just carry him for 7-8 weeks to ensure I will have him later in the season. Heres my dilemma...

    A) Defoe + Capoue (Bench Cap for the foreseeable)
    B) Remy + Snodgrass/Ramirez (Bench Remy for the foreseeable)

    plzzz help!

  27. Kalou
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Re-post as only got o e response!

    Final piece of the wc jigsaw!All opinons are vital please!

    A.Williams/Antonio/Defoe

    B.Valencia/Redmond/Benteke

    Thanks!

  28. The Tinkerman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone considering dropping their United defender for the next few weeks (MCI, LEI, liv, che are in their next 6 games)

    Both North London clubs have superior fixtures and good defences...

    1. Kalou
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Am thinking of going with two...man utd will keep clean sheets no matter the opposition.

  29. HVT
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Pleas pick 1:

    A - McAuley/Bentekke
    B - Williams/Defoe
    Thanks.
