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. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Maybe Pogba is the safe pick now?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He doesn't score and he doesn't assist

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Should be safe for 4 points.

    3. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Herrera

      1. mchugho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Pogba shouldv'e scored tonight if Fellaini didn't foul in the build up. Also hit one that would've gone in but for good goalkeeping. I would say he is more likely to pick up points than Herrera.

  2. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Besiktas

  3. rashFord Fiesta
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bench one:

    A) Valencia (knackered) 🙁
    B) Alonso (ill, and can't keep a cleanie) 🙁

    1. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

  4. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Quarter to 1 in Istanbul and the pens are only getting better!

  5. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Look at the fire power in this forward line: Rashford, Benteke, Negredo

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Awful really isn't it

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Bargain bin or Garbage bin?

    2. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No Kane?

    3. Dazzler365
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fuar...steady on

    4. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Where the hell is Rooney?

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Eating pies with Wayne Shaw?

    5. Legomane
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero Kane Lukaku 🙂

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I can't believe people have that front line. I can only afford one out of those three at a time.

  6. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Nice first touch

  7. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    5-4 pens

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      4-4

  8. MTPockets
      9 years, 1 month ago

      McAuley > Gibson or Bailly? (ft)

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Gibson

    • Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      As a Valdes owner I sympathise with you Ibra owners

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I have both 😆

        1. UnitedFan
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          lol

    • the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      5-5

    • HazardAGuess
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I am already on a -4 (not for Ibra) 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

    • Mr. Funny Name
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney is so tempting now....feels dirty, but good

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Genius

    • Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is there seriously a DGW player worth captaining this GW??!

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Gibson 😉

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          😀 Ughh, maybe with Valdes behind him, but not with Guzan

      2. UnitedFan
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Benteke

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He could be you know. Back against his old club in Liverpool, and who knows how Spurs will turn up after their FA Cup semi-final.

          I'm quite liking that he's nailed on too.

          1. UnitedFan
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yep, Liverpool have a defensive injury crisis too and Spurs aren't as resilient away from home

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Well, it's him or Negredo! I know Negredo is a regret waiting to happen so maybe I'll play it safe for once 🙂

            2. FPLFamily (Lee)
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Milner, Matip, Lovren, Clyne all fit and available unless I have missed something?

              1. Kuyt Hero
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Matip missed training today, as did Lucas

              2. big_cliff
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Matip is a doubt I believe. Hasn't trained this week if I'm not wrong

              3. big_cliff
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Klavan too

    • HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Great shoot out

    • andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      May even save a transfer this week now

      zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        DGW!!!

        1. AYLD28
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Mate I'm thinking the same even with the Ibra mess

        2. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          For some reason I read that in Jonty's voice.

          1. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I typed that in Andy's voice to be honest.

      2. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely saving here even without having any United players

      3. drughi
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Same but can I really before a Dgw with only valencia and zaha in my team

      4. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thinking the same but it doesn't feel right!

      5. UnitedFan
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Blind or Bailly don't tempt you? Or you already have a United defender?

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

          Already have Valencia.

          Any further DGW defender transfer I make means benching Alonso so not really worth it

      6. Mr. Funny Name
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Get in and captain Wazza. If there's any man that'd do it its you 😀

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

          Not. A. Chance.

          🙂

          1. Mr. Funny Name
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Tempted to at least get him in myself

      7. MTPockets
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I would if didn't have McAuley + Amat.

        • Legomane
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          🙂 at least I've a Kane to acquire somehow!

      8. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        6-5 Talisca

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'm watching live
          Only just took it :-/

      9. maclrc
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        With the Valdes and Ibra injuries, are any, or all, of these are worth it (i.e. potential -12 hit):

        Valdes and Llorente to any cheap non-Boro GK & Negredo worth it for -8 hit
        Ibra to Kane for -4 hit

      10. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You think this is bad now?

        Chelsea v Spurs and Citeh v Arsenal are non FPL games locked behind a deadline. If anything happens in those games theres sod all we can do when there FPL fixt comes around.

        : Grim Reaper :

      11. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        P0rn boy holds his nerves

      12. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Any help here chaps:

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

        Bench: Pickf - Davies - De Roon - Bertrand

        1FT 0.5 ITB but no wildcard so was ideally looking to save but after Ibra, Fabio and Valdes not sure.. thoughts?

        1. Transfer Ibra >
        2. Transfer Fabio >
        3. Transfer Valdes >
        4. Transfer Valencia >
        5. Save and play De Roon, benching Ibra and hoping for the best with the others

        1. mchugho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Transfer Ibra I think.

      13. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        6-6 Valbuena

      14. D0GS B0110XS FC
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        rashford or negredo?

        1. mchugho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Rashford.

      15. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        How does Ibra - > Negredo and Sterling to Hazard sound?

        1. DaddyPig
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah good use of funds!

      16. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe safer to steer clear of United strikers as clearly Mourinho will play Rooney vs Burnley then Rashford vs City like he did vs City

        Thoughts?

      17. Honeyman07 42
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Best city defenders going forward?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

      18. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So to all people who brought in Ibra and Rojo this week.... Mwahahahaha

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Good to see such quality observations.

          1. Sim Simma
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I know how they feel..I've been there..brought in Kane the night before he got injured

        2. Garlana
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ibra i can understand, rojo was just silly to rush in for.

        3. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Who to play ? Valencia I think has to be rested so is it better to bench this week and play Mawson in must win for Swansea or risk playing Valencia

        A Mawson (STK)
        B Valencia (Burnley Man City)

        1. GE
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Risk Valencia

      20. CostaCoffee
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What's everyone doing with TC now???

        • 10 Years
