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.

    Hey, all. Took a couple of weeks break for FFS and all. Team's like.

    Pickford, Mandanda,
    Koscielny, Williams, Britos*, Amat, Evans,
    Antonio, Sterling, Firmino, Capoue, Iwobi,
    Aguero, Lukaku, Ibra.

    Had plans before the break of doing Ibra/Antonio ➡ Wilson/Sanchez. Had to hold off and lost £0.2 in the process. Should I proceed with the same, or ship Sterling or anyone else instead?

    1. Brazooka
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Get Wilson here, good fixtures to come

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

    Am I the only one not taking my WBA defender out?

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

      I'm unsure what to do with Foster

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

        I'd keep

        They can keep a clean sheet against anyone and their defensive record is decent this season. If it wasn't for a few lapses in concentration they would've had more clean sheets

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

      Benching Evans

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

        I'm playing for most games (e.g. Spurs). The really really tough games like MCI is when I'd bench

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

          Good plan

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

      if it's not evans then yes.... bad fixtures plus already on 4 yellows

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

        Good point, forgot about the 4 yellows

    4. stachman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nah... Couple of bad fixtures won't scare me away from Pulis defender... Season keeper, imo

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

      Switching back later.

      1. Pegboy
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Same. They can be considered again in 4-6 weeks. I don't have any other pressing concerns, so Foster is getting binned.

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

    Why everybody want to take Mustafi instead of Monreal?

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

      Because of goal threat.

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

        I thought that Kos is for that and Monreal / Bellerin for assists

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

      Goal threat and Baps

    3. Live Lad
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I also wonder why people want Mustafi ahead of Koscielny (proven FPL success).

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

      More touches in the box. They see a goal imminent.
      Having said that, I own Nacho 'BAP' Monreal.

    5. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Monreal is a beast. I have him.

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

      Tackles, Interceptions, Clearances, Touches in Oppositions Box...BPS magnet.

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

    Best sub 6m midfieder?

    Snodgrass: looks the best choice atm, set pieces, nice run of fixtures

    Iwobi: Punt option, tends to get hooked early, will he continue to start?

    Fer: Best goal threat, meh-ish fixtures

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

      Snodster

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

      Essily snoddy

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

      Snodgrass hands down.

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

      Cheers lads.

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

      Snod >= Iwobi > Fer.

      Iwobi to outscore Snod in the next 3 imo.

  5. Live Lad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Will I play AOA to field Capoue over Stones and Holebas?

    Foster
    PVA, Koscielny
    Capoue, Sterling, Snodgrass, Firmino, Antonio (vc)
    Kun (c), Kaku, Deeney

    Subs: Pickford, Stone, Holebas, Amat

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

      I'd leave 2poue to the bench and play Holebas.

    2. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Use your aoa when you absolutely have to

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

    Captains poll!

    Kun (c) atm.

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

      Sanchez

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

        Is he assured of a start?

        1. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Just as much as Aguero is

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Austin

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

      Benteke.

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

      Benteke

    5. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Son

    6. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      (C)harlie Austin

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

    Best defender up to 5.3?

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

      C.Davies?

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

      Adam Smith

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

      Robertson + 0.8 seems good value.

      For this week alone, I'd go for a Soton def.

    4. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      PVA

    5. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Cedric if he plays could be gold. Only 5.0.

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

      Mustafi?

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

        He's 6.0 😀

    7. Pegboy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Still Lovren for me. They'll start keeping cleansheets soon.

      Lovren > Morgan > Stones > Cedric > Williams

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

    RP.
    1 FT, 0 idb.

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

    Any suggestions?

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

      I'd save.

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

        any suggestions how to get Ars def next week? Is that essential?

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

          I'm saving my FT to get Arse def on next GW. Don't know how yet 😀

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Kak to Tek?

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

        I think that Lukaku and Everton will do good this season (apart from this GW game maybe)

  9. Kizza_10
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    A. Lukaku, Firmino, Son, Sanchez
    or
    B. Deeney, KDB, Alli, Ozil

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

      A. Deffinently.

    2. CloudSky

      A.

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

      isn't KDB injured??

      A

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

    Who will play for Johnson?

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

      Maybe Bardsley?

  11. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Antonio + Valencia > Son + Vertonghen for -4pts, worth it?

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

      No.

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      do you have Wally and Kosc?

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

        i have Wally but not Kos

        Williams Evans Amat Valencia Love
        Wally Antonio Sterling Firmino Rodwell
        Kun Costa Tekkers

        1FT 1.2 itb

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

          I would either save this week...or just remove Valencia

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

            to whom? Vertonghen/Bellerin/Alder/Kosc

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

              Kosc ideally

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

      I thought Antonio Valencia was one person :_P

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

        Yes literally

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

          Antonio Valencia to his Son Vertonghen.

  12. Live Lad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Play Stones or Holebas?

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

    Play Pick or Heaton?

    Also armband currently on Tekkers, dont know how I feel about that but not listening to my feeling burned me last GW with Kaku.

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

      Pick has a better chance of a CS, but Heaton will get save points. Toss a coin really.

      Think my C is going with Aguero.

  14. Salah Fingers
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Am i gtg? 0ft £1.3itb

    Pickford

    Smith - Friend - Valencia

    Ozil - Son - Sterling - Coutinho

    Lukaku - Aguero - Benteke

    Foster - Capoue - Amat - Souare (coming out next week)

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

      That team selects itself tbh

      1. Salah Fingers
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        What does that mean?

  15. twisterteo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Antonio to Walcott or Son for a free transfer?

    Or shall I upgrade Heaton/Jaku?

    Thanks for your help guys!

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

      Antonio to Walcott looks goods
      but Heaton/Jaku is a more pressing issue I think..

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

      No rush on either. Antonio has 2 good fixtures. I'd save the transfer.

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

      Son for me..

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

      Id give Antonio atleast two more weeks. So upgrade Jaku to a playing GK (maybe Pickford) would be my choice.

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

    Should I get Smith or Pieters?

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

      Smith

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Smith

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

      Both decent options, I went Pieters personally.

    4. stachman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Cameron

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

      Smith

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

    What do you reckon guys?

    Foster
    Pieters - Walker - Bellerin
    Sanchez - Walcott - Firmino - Antonio
    Aguero - Austin - Rashford

    Heaton - Holebas - Fletcher - Amat

    1.1m in the bank with 1 FT

    1) Save FT
    2) Lose Rashford (Deeney, Defoe, Wilson Other)
    3) Other Idea?

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

      Id save.

    2. stachman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Save

  18. Tinmen
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Folks, what's the better move?

    A) Valencia to Mustafi
    B) Antonio to Awobi

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

      I went mustafi so..

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years

    Would you play this week:

    a) Evans
    b) Lovren

    Cheers,

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

      Lovren of the both, ideally none.

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

      b

    3. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

      B

    4. stachman

      Evans

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

      Both likely to concede, Lovren more likely to score.

  22. LONG LIVE ZOLA

    Heaton, Jaku
    Baines, PVA, Valencia, Evans, Amat
    Sanchez, Haz, Antonio, Capoue, Whelan
    Kun, Kaku, Tekkers

    A) Haz, Capoue -> Firmino, Snoddy
    B) Haz, Capoue, Valencia -> Firmino, Wally, Cameron (-4)

    Worth to take a hit?

  24. hustler7
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Foster/Pickford
    Evans Amat Holebas Williams Lovren
    Sanchez Sterling Antonio Firminho Capoue
    Aguero Deeney Lukaku

    I am thinking of using my 2FT this week and doing Antonio > Snoddy and either Evans > Mustafi or Williams > Kos/Bellerin...

    Any opinion if these transfers are worth while? Any other options to consider? I would like Son in but have 0.0 ITB so would mean downgrading Sterling which I am not too keen on...

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

    Good moves?:

    Williams/Lukaku > Koscielny/Benteke

  26. The Colonel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team gents:

    Foster, Pickford

    Monreal, Vertonghen, A.Smith, Holebas, Amat

    Sanchez, Walcott, Tadic, Firminhio, Capoue

    Kun, Defoe, Deeney

    1. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Mustafi over Monreal

      I would want tekkers.

      Theo to a 7m or lower to facilitate both moves for me.

    Is there a way to see Coutinho's stats when he plays as a CM?

      Only by working out which games he did, and then looking at the stats for just those game weeks.

      One thing I've noticed generally is that cutting in from the left is where the pool points goldmines happen.

      Coutinho when he plays there. Firmino gets almost all his goals from that spot and Lallana drifts out there as well and does well.

      Right side seems more Clyne. Passes to Mane. Who does something amazing or loses it.

        Just found it on google

        Coutinho hasn't got many goals/assists as a cm in the past

        Bad news for me and great for Firmino owners. Might need to sell if it continues. Liverpool have Can to fill in for Wijnaldum which I'm hoping happens

      I would have done start of break. Not now. Wait until next one.

      Shaw is out though so move him on.
