The ScoutCast – Episode 222 – Intense

There’s no other word for it, this week’s ScoutCast is certainly an “intense” affair, gripped by the troublesome uncertainty served up by the most testing double Gameweek in memory.

Jonty, Andy and Az once again join me as we quickly review our Gameweek 33s, before indulging in the main course – chewing through your queries that dissect the dilemmas served up by the forthcoming fixtures.

The merits of Zlatan, the head-to-head between Negredo and Benteke and a full risk assessment of shedding Sanchez and Sigurdsson – these are all topics to furrow the brow as we indulge in the most passionate of ScoutCasts for some weeks.

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

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

      1. BadgersBoys
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

    11. BadgersBoys
      • 10 Years

    12. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      OOF

  12. Deus
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Fellaini (TC)

  13. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Looks like I'll be taking the chance of not owning a United assest for the DGW34

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Get a D or DeGea....

  14. Feeling_blue
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Rashford nailed?

    1. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Wouldn't count on it.

    2. Deus
      • 7 Years

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Valencia & Zaha it is for the DGW!

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      same and Kane (C)

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      we hope, but not sure for Valencia

  16. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Ibra is ALIVE and he WILL play both games. This man is made of STEEL.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Owner but sell him

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      I hope

  17. Chris_White
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Fellaini essential. Starts up front against Burnley

  18. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    How many brought Ibra in this week already i wonder?

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      81,398 according to FPL

    2. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      81,000 transfers in.

    3. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      5,000 according to the police. 120,000 according to the organizers

  19. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Im going to take a punt on martial!

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      He didn't look good in weeks.

  20. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    What to do with Alonso?

    1. Deus
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Buy him flowers

    2. Starvaiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      keep - just a virus

  21. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    If ibra is out then im genuinely interested in martial

    1. jmcclory123
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      You shouldn't be

    2. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Is Martial even around?

  22. DeadStarComing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    People were very dismissive of me suggesting it could be an option to wildcard this week. I reckon some of these early Ibra transfers in might swing some into activating it 🙂

  23. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Had captaincy locked in on Ibra, haven't got a clue who to put armband on now

    1. jmcclory123
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      De Gea

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Negredo!

  24. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Can we please reset the captain poll ?

    1. Elijah's Wood
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      +1

  25. Elijah's Wood
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Likely United defence without Rojo?

    Valencia Bailly Blind Darmian/Shaw?

    Is Blind nailed now? And a better option than Bailly?

    1. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Valencia/Darmian/Young/Fosu, Bailly, Blind, Shaw/Darmian/Young

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Cheers, probably sticking with Bailly then

  26. GE
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Think I actually bench Ibra and play Tadic instead of taking a hit...
    Have Benteke and Kane up front..

  27. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Why would Zlatan owners want Martial over Rashford? 😕

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Pogba goal disallowed

  29. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    POGBAAA oh offside

  30. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years

    No goal
