So we made it to the double century.

It’s hard to believe that we’ve managed to get this far. It’s even more difficult to believe that folk are still listening.

Episode 200, is, quite fittingly, a rather memorable event.

It’s marked by two extraordinary stories, as Jason Puncheon takes residence in my home and an award-winning legend of British comedy respectfully puts me in my place.

Hearing is believing.

Around that brand of nonsense, we do our best to focus on the job at hand, as we address another bout of your community questions.

Once again we revisit the subject of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with Jonty and Andy still clinging to the fading Swede.

Spurs and Arsenal assets, Payet vs Antonio and the stat to rule them all also get discussed, before we indulge ourselves with a trip down memory lane, recalling our favourite ScoutCast moments.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Wednesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

You can grab the old fashioned mp3 audio version via this link or the first player below, or watch me get riled via the Google Hangout version in the second player.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Scott Dann is confirmed out and people are selling Antonio.

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm only getting rid of Antonio when I can afford Payet.

    2. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      More of an argument to hold onto WHU defenders lol

    2FT, 0.0 ITB - Thoughts?

    Cech - Pickford

    Walker - Williams - Lovren - Robertson - Holebas

    Sanchez - Firmino - Antonio - Snodgrass - Capoue

    Aguero - Lukaku - Deeney

    Williams to Pieters/ Cameron & Save the other?

    1. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah that's good, just housekeeping! Do the Stoke def move then save I'd reckon as you say

    2. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nothing obvious jumps out. Would upgrade Antonio, but not sure where to find the cash for that. Lots of money tied up in defence imo, downgrade Williams?

    3. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Can't see a move :/

    4. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Downgrade Capoue to a playing 4.4 and upgrade Antonio to Son.

  3. CarrollsPonytail
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Which of these would you transfer out for Sanchez?

    A - Sterling
    B - Coutinho
    C - Antonio

    My initial thoughts were Sterling, but not so sure anymore.

    1. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Between Sterling and Antonio, probably the latter. But west ham have cpl SUN.

      Anything else you can do??

      1. CarrollsPonytail
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Could potentially take Marney/Capoue out for Walcott.

    2. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 5 months ago

        The one that plays for WHU

      • Rake
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Antonio for sure.

    3. Individual

      All good the weekend? Just waiting on final few pressers prior to confirming moves!

      Pickford
      Mustafi Pieters Walker
      Firmino Capoue Sanchez Antonio
      Kun Kaku Costa (c)

      🙂

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Except Capoue your team looks to be in great shape! 🙂

        1. Individual
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers Gilbert! He's going for Snoddy next week / in 2 weeks!

          How are you shaping up??

          1. Hurricane Gilbert
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            You just have to love Snoddy because of his name, don't you? 😉

            Well I'm pretty set to bring in Walcott and Wilson. My latest impulse is to ditch Sterling and keep Antonio a little longer. Then I will get KdB in a couple of gws. Prefer Walcott + KdB to Sanchez and Sterling value wise.

            1. Individual
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Ha for sure.

              Yeah I like Walcott and KdB too, but you'll have to see what happens once players return for arsenal.

              Good moves, wait for Pep... He may rule Sterling out or something yet ha

        Cap. Sanchez!

        1. Individual
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Very torn on this, Sanchez Kun and Costa are in my consideration set, just think that Costa is the more sure thing to at least play 90, plus Diego came in for me last week

          Will see!

    4. Ian Davis
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Williams/Lukaku > Koscielny/Benteke ?

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        No

    5. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Right to save the transfer?

      Pickford (Jaku)
      Holebas, Van Aanholt, Davies (Lovren, Amat)
      Sanchez, Firmino, Sterling, Antonio (Capoue)
      Aguero, Lukaku, Deeney

      0.5 ITB and 1FT

      1. Hank Scorpio
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Unless you have money to get an Ars defender in for Lovren, then yes.

    6. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Best 4.5 replacement for Evans? (have Holebas) or just keep Evans?

      1. Alnair
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Hold 'til next week imo.

    7. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm I the only crazy one thinking of captaining raheem??

      fit

      his home form is nothing but superb...

      1. Hank Scorpio
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Is he 100% to play if he has had a knock?

        1. PvA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          He trained yesterday

    8. Andrew
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Have 2FT this week so suggestions please guys of atleast 1 transfer :-

      Pickford (Heaton)
      Williams Kelly Evans (Amat Kingsley)
      Sanchez Fimino Sterling Capoue (Fletcher)
      Aguero Costa Lukaku

      And whats the situation with Sterling?

      1. Hank Scorpio
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Any money?

        1. Andrew
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Sorry only £0.2

          1. Hank Scorpio
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I would consider moving Williams to be honest.

            Other than that options are thin.

      2. Jayss
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Evans to Bournemouth/ Stoke def if you trust them

      3. Alnair
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Evans --> Holebas/Pieters/Robertson/Smith.

    9. dashdriver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Captain Kun, Alexis or Tekkers?

      1. rnrd
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Rest Risk for Kun I believe. Tough fixtures coming up for MCI with barcelona on Wed

    10. Hank Scorpio
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not seen it on the tweets but apparently Willian will be missing for Chelsea this weekend, his Mum has passed away and he has gone back to Brazil.

      1. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

      2. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        true... fpl have him flagged for "personal reasons"

      3. Alnair

    12. cruzex
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      1) Wilson on penalties?

      2) Shaqiri on penalties?

      3) Antonio will play on striker?

      ty

      1. Thiga
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        1) Yes
        2) No
        3) Doubt it

      2. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        You can answer 2/3 questions by clicking the Set Pieces link http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/premiership-set-piece-takers/

        Not sure about Antonio. No1 knows

      3. Alnair
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        1) Yep.
        2) No, Arnie is before him.
        3) Unlikely.

    13. Thiga
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Bolasie vs Zabaleta. Who's gonna come out on top?

    14. Shirokov(c)
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Foster - Pickford
      Valencia - Baines - Reid - Evans - Amat
      Sanchez - Mane - Antonio - Capoue - Januzaj
      Aguero - Costa - Benteke

      I have two free transfers with nothing in the bank.

      Here are a few of my own ideas:
      A) Baines & Reid > Vertonghen & Pieters
      B) Reid & Januzaj > Pieters & Snodgrass
      C) Baines, Reid & Januzaj > Vertonghen, Pieters & Snodgrass (-4)

      Thoughts?

      1. Jayss
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        B the sensible choice

    15. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Eddie Howe "one or two came back with knocks, I won't name them"

      Not sure you've quite understood how a press conference works pal

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        If one of them is Callum Wilson...

        1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          wait... what????

        2. Costa's Counsellor

    16. zakard
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hello, need help with my WC.

      Pickford / Heaton
      Mustafi Verto Asmith ( Amat holebas)
      Son Sanchez(c) Firmino Walcott (Hojbjerb)
      Aguero Deeny Benteke

      Maybe i can change walcott to ?? or G2G ?
      🙂
      Cheers

      1. Alnair
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Looks fine imo.

    17. Rake
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Tempted to do Lukaku to Costa (c) for a hit.

      Other armband choices are Alexis and Kun.

      Suggestions?

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I am Cing Costa

      2. OLEgend
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Stekelenburg Jaku
        Walker Monreal Williams (Amat Kingsley)
        Ozil Antonio Capoue Firmino Coutinho
        Kun Lukaku (Diomande)

        Stek > Cech this week. Is it a good move or any other suggestions?

        1. Jayss
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          How much in the bank?

      3. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Southampton vs Burnley

        Great opportunity for the following scenario:

        1. Southampton attack a lot
        2. Southampton get a penalty
        3. Southampton players argue over taker
        4. Mentality of pen taker gets messed with
        5. Heaton saves the penalty

        1. Rhinos
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Or he skies it

        2. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          1. Southampton attack a lot.
          2. Austin scores a hatrick
          3. Heaton makes a few saves.

      4. SuperMario
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        A. Lloris, Pieters, Holebas
        B. Grant, Vertongen, Lovren
        C. Boruc, Clyne/ Vert, Pieters

        Other keeper is Pickford... Think its the last few bits on my WC..

        Any suggestions welcomed?

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          C

        2. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I'm going more towards c if that's any help.

          Grant looks great but with butane back in 3 gmwks it's a waste of a transfer

      5. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Kone -> Holebas / A.Smith

        Worth a -4?

        1. Rake
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          No. Not for a defender.

        2. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Def no

        3. Thiga
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          If a cleanie and attacking returns (or bps) were guaranteed then yes. Since this GW they're pretty likely for one of those two, I'd give it a go.

        4. Alnair
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I'd only take a hit for Arsenal or So'ton this GW.

      6. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Dann out. Good news for Benteke owners. Should be the focal point for set pieces now

        1. BabyB
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          It's actually bad news as the defence will focus on Benteke rather than being spread around imo.

      7. Shirokov(c)
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        If you had to get rid of one, who would it be:

        Valencia or Baines?

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Baines

        2. Spencer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Same decision for me and I'm keeping Valencia.

        3. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Sorry to answer with with a qurstion. What's your back line and who for

          1. Shirokov(c)
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Them two with Reid, Evans and Amat. Probably out for Vert.

        4. Jayss
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Valencia

        5. Alnair
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Baines, United GW10-11 look guaranteed for CSs.

      8. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Any suggestions?

        Pickford, Jaku
        Valencia, Williams, Holebas, Evans, Amat
        Sanchez, Firmino, Son, Snodgrass, Capoue
        Aguero, Costa, Lukaku

        1 FT, 0 idb

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          thinking about getting Ars def (next week) but don't want to get rid of any attacker
          Valnecia, Capoue -> Mustafi/Monreal, Leko but don't think it's best option (0.1 short to get 4.4 mid)

      9. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        On wc, 0 itb. Any glaring mess ups?

        Boruc, Pickford
        Bellerin, clyne, pva, holebas, Amat
        Sanchez, walcott, coutinho, snoddy, capoue
        Aguero, lukaku, deeney

        Capoue will be benched so thinking him to 4.4 and bank 0.4?

      10. jonny3110
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Pickford - Jaku
        Walker - Holebas - Amat - Baines - Lovren
        Capoue - Antonio - Iwobi - Sanchez - Firminho
        Lukaku - Aguero - Deeney

        0.2 ITB and 2FT's. Would you:

        A) Hold and bench Baines and Amat
        B) Move out Baines & Lovren -> Mustafi & A Smith
        C) Other?

        Help please lads!

      11. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years

        Antonio + Valencia + Evans > Son + Vertonghen + Cedric

        For -8pts?

          Son might not play the game.
          Pochettino: “Players who've come back from injury like Rose or Dier, or Lamela, who arrived yesterday, or Son from Asia, we need to be clever”.

          Wait for Southampton Press conference because Cedric is still flaged on fpl.

        Is Baines > Kos worth it for a hit?

        Cheers

          Don't think it's worth a hit.

        If on a WC.. What should one be doing GK wise??

        A. Was set on Pickford & Grant for 8.0, but the looming fact that both will eventually lose place is hanging over it..
        B. Other option is Boruc, but Smith for 0.1 more offers attacking points and bonus..
        C. LLoris for 5.4 looks ok value with Pickford as #2
        D. Something else??
