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.

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

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

    Come on lyon

  2. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    It has to be said, well judged if you waited on transfers til now. Painful for the others!

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks 🙂

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't say well judged. Just common sense if you can afford to wait.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I got Valdes and Zlatan in several weeks ago! So much for early planning.

      Good for those still with a WC.

  3. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Gonalons 8-7 , LYON ARE THROUGH

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      They going to win it

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I think so, if Utd don't

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Either one of those or Celta/Ajax I reckon.

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      It ended 7-6 on my TV.

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I can't count

  4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    You don't check your FPL team for two seconds and when you do two of your DGW players are flagged (Ibra and Rojo). This game can be so incredibly annoying at times.

    1. Pigeon
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Thats why you wait until the deadline to do transfers

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I was on WC...

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Thats good luck for you then, I'd be happy as hell it happened while on a WC

        2. Pigeon
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Assuming its still active you're ok

          1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Last week 🙁

            1. Pigeon
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              feelsbadman

  5. Old Gregg
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Ibra and A Carroll out for who? What would you consider the best option. All -4.

    a) rashford - negredo/benteke
    B) Kane - negredo
    C Benteke - negredo

    Have Valdes too will probably use wc next week and I don't mean the toelit.

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      b

    2. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      B

    3. Old Gregg
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks. Yes must get Kane in

    4. jackhammer1
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kane and rashford

    5. Old Gregg
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks. I can only afford Kane and neg unfortunately. exact money.

  6. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What to do with this lot?

    Foster Grant
    Valencia Alonso BDavies Robertson Lescott
    Sanchez King Alli Zaha Clayton
    Kun Kane Kaku

    Thinking of using my FT to bring either Valdes or Hennessey in?

    1. Scheister
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Valdes injured

    2. Donblaster
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Valdes injured so not him

      1. SheBangsTheDrums
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Likely to be out for both games? Maybe worth brining Guzan instead in that case!

        1. Donblaster
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Not sure both games so I'd say Guzan not the best option either! So maybe Hennessey

  7. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Worth selling Ibra for a -4 or just play Maguire/De Roon?

    1. Donblaster
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Prob De Roon

    2. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I like maguire

    3. Pigeon
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Maguire

    4. Donblaster
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Why would you play Maguire over someone with two fixtures tho?

      1. jackhammer1
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Because it's de roon

        1. Donblaster
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Maguire averages 2.2 per game and plays once

          De Roon averages 2.7 per game and plays twice

          Simple 😉

  8. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Penalties are amazing......

    ...as a neutral

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah nearly all perfect penalties

  9. Demel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What happened to Rojo?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Injured.

      1. Demel
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Badly?

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Looked like he won't be playing this DGW anyway.

        2. Partick Bateman
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Looked like he popped his left knee landing awkwardly in a tackle, decided to play on and limped into another tackle, came out badly and then got stretchered off.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ligaments.

  10. Scheister
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    For -4 Ibra to:
    A) Rashford
    B) Negredo

    1. Chris_White
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Negredo as he'll start both

    2. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'd go Rashford, may end up being a surprise season keeper if Ibra crocked long term?

    3. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Negredo! Rashford played 120 mins

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    That was a rough night for us FPL'ers

  12. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Quality in this EL is awful compared to last year. Lucky lucky United

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      All the 'better' teams went through this round though. So, the semis and final should be quality

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Aye. We beat United, Villareal and Dortmund over 2 legs each and still had to play Sevilla.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        yep, that's what I'm saying. Luck of the draw I guess

  13. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I have Valdes & Foster. Worth a -4 to get rid?

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Guess so.

  14. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So Mark smiling away...

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Takes away his chance to do something different by not bringing in Ibra.

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Doubt it.

      Those who were thinking of not going Ibra surely wanted him to stay fit so others brought him in?

      Now it's much easier for those that were going to buy him.

      1. Springbank
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly that

      2. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I know but Jonty had him really uncomfortable on the scoutcast thinking about plenty putting TC on Ibra...

      3. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Definitely. More options means bigger scope to gain advantage.

      4. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I don't think so, those who weren't getting him must be surely very relieved now. Don't have to hide behind the sofa anymore for one

        1. Clucas
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          It's a bad luck for Non Ibra owners as he'd have been the knee jerk master of this dgw. I really couldn't see scoring more than 1 goal. Now eeverybody will buy Rashford & co

      5. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        This is exactly how I feel. My bokd move has been stripped away! 🙁

        1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          *bold.

          I am intrigued by what a bokd move might be thought . . .

  15. Feed tha Sheep
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Best move?
    A. Siggy > Zaha
    B. Vardy > Benteke/Negredo
    C. Both for -4

  16. dark91
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lyon is through after 8 penalties played

  17. Stimps
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    DDG should play both games right?

    1. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Maureen has said Dave gets the PL games.

    3. Feed tha Sheep
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Should do yes

  18. Geoff Hurts
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Ibra still rising tonight? In price, I mean.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Only on 95

    2. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No

    3. A.T
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No

    4. djpete
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not likely, people are already transferring him out at a rate

      1. Geoff Hurts
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Perhaps the most frustrating transfer in ever. No one to blame but myself, though.

  19. jdogg
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Kun fraser amat to rashford/benteke zaha/townsend and gibson worth -8?x

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Negredo over Tekkers and Rashford...

      And yes.

  20. cescpistols1
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Kane or Rashford for Ibra?

    1. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kane

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kane

  21. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lots of talk about Rooney + Martial coming in and playing up front against Burnley.

    Don't see it myself. They've started as striker 3 times between them in the league this season.

    Rashford young enough to go again, has had plenty of rest this season already.

    1. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Would you get in Benteke ahead of Rashford?

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe, but I'm not losing Lukaku for Rashford.

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Agree. Rashford would beed to be in bits before Mou opted for Rooney or Martial.

    4. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Young enough to go again but he looked knackered at the end, Burnley are no mugs at home.

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

      Not touching any of them myself, anything could happen with United.

    6. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Its not about rest, the issue will be protecting him. He'll play one game max.

    7. 1314
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      but is Rashford really the better option than Negredo for the dgw ? tired for sure, may not play full minutes , also both Burnley and City games could be tight..

    8. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Spot on.

    9. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Utd might struggle to break down Burnley, surely pace isn't necessarily the way to go in that game? Rooney could feature up top...Just play devil's advocate

    10. Springbank
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Perhaps but you could argue that level of fitness for himself and rest of the team won't be optimal after 120 mins tonight and only 48h rest.

  22. nkhoughton
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is it worth actually touching MNU attacking players this week?

    With the Ibra injury who plays where is such an uncertain minefield

    Why go near them when theit dgw isn't even good?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      After tonight, Im getting DDG from United (to pair with already on the team Valencia) and that's it.

      1. nkhoughton
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I'm thinking of just Nyom to bailly

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Sounds good.

  23. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Jakupovic | Foster
    Alonso | Valencia | Vertonghen | Pieters | Amat
    Sanchez | Zaha | Alli | Sigurdsson | King
    Kane | Lukaku | Barnes

    2 FT | £2.5 ITB

    A) Barnes > Rashford/Negredo (bench Siggy)
    B) Do A and Foster > DDG

    Also who to captain? Thinking Lukaku or Sanchez

  24. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Negredo going up tonight? safe to do the early tranny?

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

      Never safe to do a tranny.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Particularly after Negredo's been in too.

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Captain now?

    Kane, Lukaku, Benteke, Negredo.....

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I might go with Mark and go for Kane

      1. nkhoughton
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Kane

  26. Kuyt Hero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How nailed is Daley Blind gonna be?

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Who else have they got?

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Very. No other options at CB really.

      1. Kuyt Hero
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        cheers, just wanted to be 100% sure!

      2. nkhoughton
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Baily rojo are cb

        1. UnitedFan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Rojo injured tonight too

  27. marquinhos
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So guys Benteke or Negredo?

    1. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      That is the question.

      Form vs fixtures + pens.

    2. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Benteke for me

    3. marquinhos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      cheers all 🙂

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Negredo...the Sunderland match alone is juicy as hell.

    5. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Negredo

  28. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mourinho - "Marcus I trust" hmmmm

  29. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Jose:

    I don't think they are easy injuries.

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Prognosis?

      "Fairly negative"

  30. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Carroll to defoe for the next 2 weeks and then get him out on my WC?
