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. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years

      What was the injury?

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      I was thinking the same

    3. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

    4. Dazzler365

      Not if George Boyd scores a hatty vs united

    5. 4-6-0
      • 8 Years

  3. F4L

  4. Rainer

    *All serious for a second*

    Re-do the captaincy poll?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Nah.

  5. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Romero is crap

  6. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Team in tatters by Valdes, Fabio and now Ibra, team as if now is:

    Valdes
    Fabio - Valencia - Alonso
    Siggy - Alexis - Zaha - Eriksen
    Kane - Ibra(c) - Benteke

    Bench: Pickf - Davies - De Roon - Bertrand

    1FT 0.5 ITB but no wildcard so was ideally looking to save but now not sure.. thoughts?

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Valencia with cramp

    Looks exhausted

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Tactical cramp they call that

    2. SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Might take him out.

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Could sub in Maguire instead

  8. HazardAGuess
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    I am already on a -4 (not for Ibra, lol) and had planned to do Foster > DDG. Given Ibra is now likely out...

    A) Foster > DDG & de Roon comes in for Ibra
    B) Ibra > Benteke/Negredo/Rashford & play Heaton
    C) Foster > DDG and Ibra > Benteke/Negredo/Rashford

    1. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Play Heaton. I'd spend the -4 to get Negredo or Rashford.

  9. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    There is not a chance of Valencia playing both games

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Few United players look able to play both but some of them will have to.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Agree, just Citeh I reckon 🙁

    4. Oscar Slater

    6. Pat Bonner

      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

    7. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      Negredo

  11. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 6 days ago

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Zaha Negredo or king captain

    3. FPL Virgin

      @Mark Will there be an emergency article about Ibra tonight? Big news, surely.

      1. Dazzler365
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Hot topic I'd say??

      2. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Don't think he owns him?

        1. Lawrø
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          *puts on tin foil hat*

          This explains a lot!

      3. Tommyg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

      This is going to be the worst DGW in existence

      1. BadgersBoys
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        GW27

      2. UnitedFan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        It'll be some craic alright

    5. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      This game is annoying

    6. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years

      FULL TIME, United through

    7. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Fergie Time

    8. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Which one applies to you?
      1) bringing in Negredo
      2) bringing in Benteke
      3) bringing in both Benteke and Negredo
      4) not bringing either Negredo or Benteke

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        1 or Rashford

      2. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        1

      3. FPLtfs

      4. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        I have benteke and now Ibra is out I'm tempted to bring in Negredo too. I could just save the transfer and play De Roon though

      5. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        1

    9. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Jose won't reveal much on Ibra's injury. Everyone will ship Ibra out, and then he'll play both games returning a 20 pointer. You know it's going to happen.

      1. Tommy J
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Did you see his knee as he landed?

        1. fedolefan
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          He's an ox.

          1. Yank Revolution
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 6 days ago

            Even an ox can be turned into soup...he wont play v Burnley.

    10. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      I wanted pens 🙁

    11. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      I wanted an excuse to get Negredo this week. Think I've just found one 😀

      1. UnitedFan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Benteke appeal?

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          Not with the fixtures, but he could easily do well.

          1. UnitedFan
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 days ago

            Fair enough

      2. BadgersBoys
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Stats?

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          I don't think any Boro attacker would be bought based on stats! Boro v Sunderland is such a massive game though, and going to Bournemouth isn't half bad either.

      3. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        This

    12. ZeBestee

    17. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      In the Ferguson's time Pogba would played with the second team and you spent all the money for him.Fellaini!Fewer home points from 70's seasons.The bus manager,the guy that pokes Vilanova in the eye,the anti-football philosophy.
      Man utd fans regardless of the wrong initial support and acceptance you showed for him you still support him and want him?

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 13 Years

    18. Evasivo
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago
