“This is how the ScoutCast was meant to be” exclaimed Granville.

He’s not wrong. If you’ve successfully avoided this brand of nonsense to this point, episode 232 provides a less than gentle introduction.

Just don’t expect me to take a beating every week.

That’s certainly what pans out over this lengthy landmark episode which finds me rolling the punches after my “ill-timed” Wildcard.

Granville and Jonty take turns to dish out the blows, while Andy and Az make uncomfortable spectators.

Once the scuffle dies down, we do our best to address the latest community questions, assessing strikers, mid-price midfielders and the latest wing-backs demanding our attention.

But, for once, that forms the undercard for the “big fight”.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday 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.

        He expected to regain spot ?

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Jack Cork looked great so far. Great stats and passes the eye test.

    Why does Jese never play full 90? fitness?

    1. michele98
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I followed his career since he was in Castilla. After the injury he has not been the same. He was really good though

  3. mcrayeps

    how will pep fit Walker Danillo and Mendy? Who will be in bench?

    1. Transient Anus
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Rotate

    2. Rafiki
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Should be Danilo but never know with pep

    3. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Don't second guess Pep man. Anyone can be on the bench, but likely Danilo.

    4. Transient Anus
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Rotation. Imo Walker is there weakest but all are very good and will play heaps

    5. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Danilo can play rb/rwb/lb/lwb and rcb/lcb in a 3 atb

      So he will be a utility/rotation player

  4. bennyp

    Pogba injured throws my team out this week...

    Any changes?

    DDG - (Elliot)
    Alonso - Kolasinac - Cedric - Davies - (Mbemba)
    Ince - Carrol - Eriksen - (Pogba - RLC)
    Kane(c) - Chich - Firmino

    Already on a -4 with 2.0 in the bank.

    Cheers.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I'd expect Alli or eriksen to get 4 more points than kolasinac. Would do Pogba 》 one of them for another hit. Doesn't matter about the previous -4

    2. Foozeball
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Your team looks alright for now. If you think the likes of David Silva or Mkhi will score 4 or more points than a player in your starting XI, then you could take another hit

      1. bennyp
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Hmm could only do that by swapping Pogba. If i sell Ince it gives me 8.0

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 13 Years

      Which one?

      We're all wrong sometimes.

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        The one who claims to be an Expert.

        And sometimes would be acceptable.

  6. Rafiki
    • 15 Years

    Also keep naughton rather than get taa right

    1. Rafiki

      On Wc.

  7. I AM GROOT!!!
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    So Sanchez played the full 90. So he is not going to start this weekend. I have him currently and want to keep him in for 3 weeks after the Chelsea game. So do i ride it out or shall I bring in Sanchez --> Alli? Can even do Tammy-> Vardy for a -4?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      The game was at the Emirates so plenty of time to recover. Keep him

  8. michele98
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Thought on Shaqiri? Leaving aside the goals of Choupo-Moting, he was by far Stoke's most active player.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Shaqiri is great. Proven FPL asset.

      1. Steinburg FC
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        shaqiri is good but he has the same fittness coach as david silva...

      2. KingNidge
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        He's a very good player when he wants to be but proven FPL asset he is not

        1. michele98
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Thanks all! Appreciate it. Would you guys go for Shaqiri or for Choupo as Pogba replacement? (Will upgrade another mid with the funds)

          1. Foozeball
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 days ago

            Choupo or Jese. Ignore Shaqiri. Too inconsistent FPL wise and injury prone

          2. KingNidge
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 days ago

            Don't like either tbh i would go sideways to Mkhitaryan

      3. Foozeball
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        my troll senses are tingling

      4. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Great ppm. Good at taking on players in the corner too. Lots of stepovers.

  9. Alex_thekid
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Pogba Kdb 》Miki or ? Alli or Eriksen -4 help please

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Pogba > KDB > Mkhy > Alli > Eriksen for a -12. Should work out in the long run

  10. mcrayeps
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Stones or Otamendi who will have more minutes?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Otamendi

  11. michele98
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Best replacement for Pogba?
    Thinking Shaqiri or Choupo

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Shaqiri imo. Used to play for Bayern

      1. michele98
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Thanks :). More specific situation though...
        A. If I get Choupo I can then do: Firmino and Redmond to Vardy and Coutinho (with 0.2 left)
        B. If I get Shaqiri I can then do Firmino, Redmond, and Eriksen to Vardy, Coutinho, and Allí (0.0 left).
        Changes your mind?

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          B is stronger

        2. Foozeball
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          The guy is giving you troll advice. Ignore Shaqiri. Better off just transferring Pogba to Mkhi or David Silva. And change Redmond to Jese or Choupo if you really want a Stoke player. Don't get rid of Eriksen or Firm

          1. michele98
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 days ago

            I realized it once you told me in the comment above. I was just trolling him back. Thanks for the feedback. I don't want City cover (Pep gives headaches) and I don't have enough funds to swap to Mkhi, so I'll have to invent something else. I"ll be upgrading Redmond to a 9.0 mid or less soon as Bananose writes below. Hate trolls. 😉

        3. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Why all that maneuvering? I'd much rather have Firmino than Coutinho at this point, and Mahrez could easily match Vardy. So just do Choupo, and then Redmond to Mahrez. Keep Firmino.

          1. michele98
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 days ago

            Yeah you're right! I got lost trying to get Vardy while keeping Liverpool cover.

      2. Postman Ty

    Best Everton defender for 5.4 and under? Will Holgate play? leaning towards Williams right now. thanks all

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I think Holgate will play as Martina's been awful. However I've just shifted Holgate out as I have little faith in Everton's defence at present.

    2. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I wouldn't get Holgate. He could be great value if he starts but Koeman also has an annoying habit of benching him randomly or subbing him at HT.

    3. Steinburg FC

        done, Foster, elliot,
        PVA(kola next week), Trippier, Alonso, Jones, mbemba.
        Mhika, Eriksen, Ritchie, Carrol, Loftus-cheak
        Kane(C), Morata, Firmino.
        also have enough itb to get davies in for trippier.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years

      Zappacosta at rwb means Moses can play in Willians place now as an option to Conte. Not saying he will though.

      1. Steinburg FC
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        pedro also seems to be preffered over willian

        1. Postman Ty

          9 years, 4 days ago

          I would suggest maybe a 4-3-3 semi-rotated with 3-4-3. Upgrade Iwobi and downgrade Fraser to 4.5. You really didn't give yourself any options with that front 3...

              ya there aren't any consistent ones yet, which leads back to the point about your limiting structure.

                  that would help long term, but Iwobi and Fraser are bigger concerns in the short term.

    Price drop didn't affect me, but not worth taking Pogba out for a hit or is it guys?

    Foster
    Alonso / Valencia / Davies / Bertrand
    Eriksen / Atsu / Mooy

    (Myhill, Pogba, Carroll, Long)

        Yeah, that's the plan, just have to take the price drop on the chin if he drops again over the weekend! Cheers & GL!

        1. Steinburg FC
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          he'll go red flagged and drop slower so you should be ok. Salah will be in reach as you have no liverpool. good luck
          also valencia to kola will free up another 0.5

          1. jia you
            • 10 Years

    2. Postman Ty
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Surely there's a pretty good chance of a Pogba replacement (8-9m bracket) scoring at least 4 more points than Mooy, Atsu, and Bertrand.
