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.

              "I have no chance of winning"

              never ever ever repeat that again...you gotta trust in yourself numbers.

                More chance of winning FPL than this comp.

                  true that ....true that

      Just curious, are there any lucky managers with overall score around 130 still in the competition?
      He/she should buy a lottery ticke

            That's crazy. Another safety score coming up.

  2. mccormibar
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If ever there was a week to go for a completely left field captain choice it's this one right???

    1. Jape
      10 years, 1 month ago

      PvA captain

      1. mccormibar
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'm seriously considering Zaza. My other players who could be captained are Hazard Ibra and Ozil. I know Haz is the safe choice but have a really strong gut feeling Zaza will do well.

        1. Jape
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Go with your gut. If it comes through it will pay off

        2. screaming.bunny
          10 years, 1 month ago

          If you want to be on top, you have to make decisions like that. If you think that choice will be the right one, do it. The worst that can happen is you gaining less points, but at least you taked the risk

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

      Pretty much yes. Manc derby, Kun out, no one has really good fixtures. Who are you thinking of?

      1. Jape
        10 years, 1 month ago

        No one has really good fixtures? Hazard at Swansea isn't a good fixture?

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

          Hazard usually doesn't do well in away fixtures. It's still a pretty good choice, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't stand out in the way City at home to Bournemouth might, for example

          1. Jape
            10 years, 1 month ago

            He didn't used to, but new season, new manager and returns in every game so far. Definitely worthy imo.

            Agree with what you're saying about the fixture though. Could look better, but is still good

      2. mccormibar
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Zaza.

    3. b✪mber
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not a cool kid 🙁

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mane

      1. mccormibar
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I have Firmino. I think Mane/Liverpool will do well this week.

    5. Puyol Pants Up
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably yes, I'm considering Kaku

      1. mccormibar
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Monday night game too!!! Do it.

    6. SpaceCadet
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Payet

  3. 1NVINCIBLES
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How many transfers would you make for this lot:

    Foster Jakupovic
    Valencia Williams Stones Friend Amat
    Hazard Firmino Barkley Redmond Capoue
    Aguero Ibrahimovic Negredo

    2 FT - £0.0 ITB

    1: Aguero > Benteke
    2: Aguero + Redmond > Benteke + Sanchez
    3 (take a hit): Aguero + Redmond + Firmino > Benteke + Sanchez + Antonio

    Any help appreciated, thanks!

    1. Jape
      10 years, 1 month ago

      2

      1. 1NVINCIBLES
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

  4. Puyol Pants Up
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know if Lanzini is nailed?

    Thinking about doing Ramirez ---> Lanzini (-4)

    1. Delhidynamo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      not worth the hit

      1. mccormibar
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Think Lanzini will be decent long term but defo not worth a hit.

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I asked this question all week. Apparently Lanzini is more nailed than Antonio and Feghouli.
      Basis. Will play in the hole and Bilic loves him.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hmmmm

    3. karvs155
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not quite yet. I would keep Ramirez for this gw

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        10 years, 1 month ago

        What worries me is that I've looked at a few predicted line ups and he isn't in a few of them. Played in both internationals for Uru and he still hasn't played 90 minutes in a game for MID. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't start this weekend.

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

      Lanzini is fairly nailed, but not worth a -4 imo

      1. mccormibar
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He has bandwagon potential considering his price and position in an attacking team.

        1. DeathAngel
          10 years, 1 month ago

          He's cheap because he didn't do that well last year. It's not like he's new to the league is it. I have reservations about him.

      2. DeathAngel
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Why did he only play 1910 minutes last season?

        1. Eskimooo
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Injured for a duration

  5. karvs155
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Play:
    A) Capoe (wham)
    B) friend (CRY)
    C) redmond (ars)

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 1 month ago

      C

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

      C. Highest chance of scoring or assisting

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd lean towards B honestly.

    4. b✪mber
      10 years, 1 month ago

      C

    5. Alonso's Ball
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

  6. BB-8
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Stuck on this one. Pick the better one-

    A. Lukaku Puncheon Williams
    B. Benteke Mirallas Baines

    1. mccormibar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A, Puncheon should play in the hole now Remy is out.

      1. BB-8
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly. Was on Januzaj before but think Punch is now nailed on

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

      Tough. A for me, because I prefer Lukaku over Benteke

    3. Joggers Nipple
      10 years, 1 month ago

      a

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku over Benteke
      Pucheon over Mirallas
      Baines over Williams

      A, only just.

      1. BB-8
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Bainsey is so tempting 🙁
        Just hoping he gives pens to Lukaku

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I hope so too 🙂

    5. screaming.bunny
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I prefer Lukaku but the best trio is obviously B

      1. BB-8
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Haha, why is it obvious?

    6. SpaceCadet
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

  7. Everyday im Schneiderlin

    Wc team ok ? Thanks
    Foster
    Valencia mcauley williams

      Looks good

    2. Lecky Legs FC
      10 years, 1 month ago

      GTG

      1. mccormibar
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Do you have exactly 3.5 mill in the bank? If so consider spending it on Cazorla > Sanchez, bank transfer next week and downgrade Sanchez or Ibra when Kun is back?

        1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Think i have about 3.6 im just worried that if i do that by that time if cazorla has risen i cant afford him ?

      2. Everyday im Schneiderlin
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nice, not sure on Cazorla though 😛

      1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah im hoping hes a hidden gem this year lol

    4. karvs155
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Looks great!

      1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

  8. Joggers Nipple
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Planning ahead is daft i know but i do feel i need an Aguero buy back plan plan (im on WC)

    in this team (this would happen for GW6)

    Foster
    Williams/ Valencia/ Kone
    Ozil/Hazard/Antonio/????
    Ibra/ Aguero/????

    Jakop/ Capoue/ Friend/Amat

    A- 6.5 forward and 6.0 mid (say Gray and Bolasie)
    B.7.5 forward and 4.8 mid ( say Benteke/ Bony, get Rodwell, play Capoue as 4th mid)

    I know playing Capoue as 4th mid seems mental but I am really struggling to see a 6.5 forward i would want. That 1m makes Gray to Benteke/Bony rather than having Bolaise over Capoue. Is this not better use of funds?

    Any thoughts welcome

    1. Loðbrók
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If aguero gets 12.8 you can have snodgrass and defoe?

  9. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Morning!

    Foster Jaku
    Valencia Stones Williams Friend Amat
    Hazard Tadic Lamela Bolasie Capoue
    Agüero Ibra Gray

    1 FT, 1.3 ITB

    Who to get in for Agüero for two weeks?

    1. b✪mber
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Costa or Lukaku?

    2. Joggers Nipple
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku
      take a hit and shift Tadic to Ozil or Sanchez if you can aford

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I could so that but then it'd complicate the route back for Kun.

        Took a hit last week to get Ibra in and lost 13 points in the process. So not keen on taking more hits at the moment.

    3. screaming.bunny
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Then again I've got Bolasie too.

        Giroud would tempt me despite his misses midweek if I knew he's certain to start.

  10. Zikry
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Time to punt on Bolasie and be underwhelmed until I decide to bring in Snodgrass GW 8 🙂

    1. mccormibar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Enjoy his week 7 assist

  11. SpaceCadet
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best 5.5m defender to complete this defence? Shaw?

    cech pickford
    baines evans holebas amat 5.5

    1. BB-8
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia

    2. b✪mber
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia/Shaw

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

      Valencia. Shaw is 5.6

      1. b✪mber
        10 years, 1 month ago

        that right there was a keen observation!

      2. SpaceCadet
        10 years, 1 month ago

        cheers

  12. UpAndAway
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton/Negredo or Pickford/Benteke?

  13. MFPL
    10 years, 1 month ago

    RMWCT? Any suggestions?

    Foster (Jakupovic)
    Valencia Williams Masuaku Evans (Amat)
    Sanchez Hazard Mane Antonio (Capoue)
    Ibra Lukaku (Diomande)
    0.9m ITB

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

      Not good. You're either playing Capoue or Diomande every week

      1. MFPL
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Would be rotation between Evans, Capoue and Diomande every week.. Do you have suggestions on how to balance it out better?

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

          Would you consider Ozil over Sanchez? Gives you about 2.4 to upgrade Diomande

          1. MFPL
            10 years, 1 month ago

            It is something that has crossed my mind, I am just worried about Sanchez going on a great run, especially with his fixtures.

    2. BB-8
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Find the money to do Diamonde to at least Rondon. Mane to Firmino Masuaku to 4.5 def might do the job

  14. Jape
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Good to go?

    Foster
    Evans / Williams / Valencia
    Hazard / Sanchez / Firmino / Antonio
    Ibra / Benteke / Defoe

    Heaton / Capoue / Holebas / Amat

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

      Looks good

      1. screaming.bunny
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Replace Foster with Heaton

        1. Jape
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Fancy WBA over Burnley for a CS

      2. Jape
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks 🙂

    2. mccormibar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nice. Tough call between Foster and Heaton?

      1. Jape
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Not this week. Fancy WBA cleanie over Burnley.

    3. BB-8
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Holebas nailed on? Rest looks good

      1. Jape
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty sure he is. If not it'll be an easy swap before GW6

  15. SpaceCadet
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best cap pick?

    a. ozil
    b. haz
    c. payet
    d. coutinho

    1. Jape

    Feel free to pick this wc team apart..

    Cech
    Mcauley,williams,Masuaku
    Hazard(c),Ozil,Barkley,Antonio
    Benteke,Costa(vc),Ibra

    Pickford,Evans,Capoue,Amat

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nah mate, this is great

    2. screaming.bunny
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe Lukaku for Costa if you want, but that team is more than gtg

    3. ddande
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks! Thinking I might do Costa to Lukaku after this gw

  17. FPL_Crisis

    Heaton Foster
    Shaw Williams pva collins Amat
    Hazard Sanchez Antonio puncheon capoue
    Ibra lukaku Defoe
    1.0 itb

    Thoughts on this WC team?

  18. screaming.bunny
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Am I the only dumbass that didn't put Ibra in this week team?

    1. b✪mber
      10 years, 1 month ago

      no biggie... he'll probably score only 3 goals in the next 2 games - better options out there!

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

      Wouldn't be too worried, Ibra isn't traditionally a big game player

    3. mccormibar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No 39.8% other players didn't either.

  19. MOUMU
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra
    Hazard
    Sanchez
    Sterling

    Who for captain ? Any Thoughts?

    1. screaming.bunny
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez

      1. MOUMU
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard on away game bad option?

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

          It's not a bad option either, but Sanchez at home looks better

          1. MOUMU
            10 years, 1 month ago

            yes if he explodes wonders then..anyways thanks both of you cleared up my mind a lot

  20. Colonel Klink

    Anyone have high hopes for Lucas Perez?

    1. mccormibar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wenger.

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

        That's very true.

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

      If he could nail a starting spot he'll be excellent value at 8.5

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

        It would be great if Wenger said something Concrete about him. He was already at full fitness in Spain.

        1. TokyoRisingSun

          I reckon he'll start at right wing with Giroud up front

      It's one of those moves that's either genius or utter madness. Good luck 🙂

      1. SpaceCadet
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hoping its the former

      Coutinho seems more consistent now, but he has been very frustrating in the past.

      Not at all

    is sterling first team in the long run?

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

      I think there will be some rotation. Sané should be getting introduced.

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

      Think so, Pep likes fast wingers. I expect more rotation around CL games though, Navas Sane etc

    I know Bolasie isn't nailed on, but is he going to play more often than not?

    1. Zikry
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Would like to think at 30 million he'd be nailed on at Everton.

  25. Cornholi0

    Foster/Jaku

    Valencia, Baines, Stones, Collins, Amat

    Hazard, Ôzil, Antonio, Puncheon, Capoue

    Ibrahimovic, Costa, Lukaku

    l am set on this till any new tinkering happens in here. Looks a bit differential
    Heaton
    Walker, Mcauley, Valencia Hazard (c), Antonio, Mane, Ozil
    Vardy, Defoe, Benteke
    Subs : Pickford, Williams, Amat, Capoue
    Does it look good or any changes needed.

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

      Looks good, nice differential in vardy

    2. Cornholi0
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I like it, but i wouldn`t have Vardy!

    Manchester derby score predictions? Thinking utd 1-0 city

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

      Same...1-0 or a boring 0-0

    2. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1-1

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

      0-0 IMO. Can see Mou going defensive and city toothless without Kun

      1. screaming.bunny
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'm gonna risk 0-0...

    Aguero is -37.1 currently...I don't think he will fall before the Tuesday!

    Do you think it is because many people don't know that Aguero is banned yet?

    Out of his current 37.5% ownership, what percentage do you think comprise of the dead teams?

      Most people make transfers on Friday or Saturday morning.

        10 years, 1 month ago

        True...lets see how it goes..

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

      He'll fall after this week once the rest realize he's been banned

    So my WC comes down to who will get the most points over the medium term (irrespective of price) of:
    1. Firmino - oop, Liverpool will score, but will they share it around
    2. Sterling - will score lots when plays, but will probably be rotated
    3. Barkley - koeman should improve on last year's performance, but is less attacking than others
    4.Antonio - impressive points per game, I think could rival payet, but will he be rotated?
    5. Bony - If he has any form should score 10-15 a season, but unproven
    6. Defoe - will score but Sunderland look relegation bound so can't see exploding - a solid reliable pick
    7. Benteke - again if has any form should score 10-15 a season, but as a Newcastle fan have little faith in parcel turning around a rut

    Can pick more or less any 4...

    How would you order them?

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

      Sterling
      Antonio
      Bony
      Defoe
      Firmino
      Benteke
      Barkley

    Best 4.5 defenders right now?

    Thinking of going with one each from the following:

    -West Brom (Evans/Galloway)
    -Watford (Holebas) OR Sunderland (Kone)
    -Crystal Palace (Souare) OR Stoke (Pieters).

    Two of the 3 would start so not sure on the best rotation 🙁

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

      Evans (WBA nuff said) and Poeters (take a look at Stoke's fixtures till GW 15 or so)

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

      - Evans
      - Kone
      - Holebas (Avoid CP || STK)

      1. SpaceCadet
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Will holebas be nailed?

        1. Donhush
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Nailed for now but if formation was to change back to 4 defenders he would be the first to get dropped.

    3. screaming.bunny

      I putted Holgate toothpaste...

      1. screaming.bunny
        10 years, 1 month ago

        But he's 4.6. You also have McAuley with 4.7 and Collins with 4.6. But if you have just 4.5 why not Gibson or Evans?
