“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.

    Loftus cheek or chalobah as enabler. Already have t carrol

      RLC

      1. Rafiki
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He expected to regain spot ?

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

  2. foreverton
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why does Jese never play full 90? fitness?

    1. michele98
      9 years, 1 month 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
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rotate

    2. Rafiki
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Should be Danilo but never know with pep

    3. fedolefan
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

    4. Transient Anus
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

    5. Ghost Gooner
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

      So he will be a utility/rotation player

    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
      9 years, 1 month 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, 1 month 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
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

    Can somebody tell me the meaning of 'FPL Expert' please.
    ....or is the boy a muppet?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Which one?

      We're all wrong sometimes.

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        The one who claims to be an Expert.

        And sometimes would be acceptable.

  6. Rafiki
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Also keep naughton rather than get taa right

    1. Rafiki
      9 years, 1 month ago

      On Wc.

  7. I AM GROOT!!!
    9 years, 1 month 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
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

  8. michele98
    9 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Shaqiri is great. Proven FPL asset.

      1. Steinburg FC
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

      2. KingNidge
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. michele98
          9 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

          2. KingNidge
            9 years, 1 month ago

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

      3. Foozeball
        9 years, 1 month ago

        my troll senses are tingling

      4. Mr. O'Connell
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

  9. Alex_thekid
    9 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

  10. mcrayeps
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Stones or Otamendi who will have more minutes?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Otamendi

  11. michele98
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best replacement for Pogba?
    Thinking Shaqiri or Choupo

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Shaqiri imo. Used to play for Bayern

      1. michele98
        9 years, 1 month 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
          9 years, 1 month ago

          B is stronger

        2. Foozeball
          9 years, 1 month 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
            9 years, 1 month 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
          9 years, 1 month 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
            9 years, 1 month ago

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

      2. Postman Ty
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So did Renato Sanchez...

        1. Postman Ty

  13. Phreak4piano

    Elliot (Heaton)
    Stephens Kolasinac Ake (Suttner Long)

  16. Silva’s Left Nut

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

    1. Andy_Social
      9 years, 1 month 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
      9 years, 1 month 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
      9 years, 1 month ago

      i wouldn't get any everton player until they show an improvement...

  17. Steinburg FC

    Chicharito to firmino for 14? next week i want to get Kola in for PVA.

    1. Steinburg FC
      9 years, 1 month ago

      -4

    2. mcrayeps
      9 years, 1 month ago

      do it

      1. Steinburg FC
        9 years, 1 month ago

        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.

    1. Steinburg FC
      9 years, 1 month ago

      there isn't any really... i went for ritchie for the set piece and pens.

  20. Teahupo'o
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is Willian likely to be benched this weekend?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt it

      1. Teahupo'o
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

    2. Ghost Gooner
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Steinburg FC
        9 years, 1 month ago

        pedro also seems to be preffered over willian

        1. Ghost Gooner
          9 years, 1 month ago

          That's why I sold him. Just too much competition for that spot

  21. Big Fudge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who to play this week:

    A) Choupo-Moting (new)
    B) Davis (cry)

    1. Rafiki
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Chop

    2. Steinburg FC
      9 years, 1 month ago

      you have to ask?

  22. Gianfranco Zola
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which to get rid of first?

    A) Tadic
    B) Chicharito
    C) Stephens
    D) Take a hit

    1. Steinburg FC

      God no.

          A sucky-cup kid. Irrelevant for PL.

  24. mcrayeps

    A) Lukaku + S.Dann

    1. Postman Ty
      9 years, 1 month ago

      you need to get rid of iwobi... and fraser, and likely willian.

      1. RESULT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Iwobi to 4.5 or get doucoure?

        1. Postman Ty
          9 years, 1 month 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...

          1. RESULT
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            9 years, 1 month ago

            What about Fraser to 4.5 and use money to upgrade Dawson next week to kola or mendy?
            Don't like options in midfield in the 6.5-5.5 bracket

            1. Postman Ty
              9 years, 1 month ago

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

                1. Postman Ty
                  9 years, 1 month ago

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

    gtg? took a -4 for this, got 1.6 ITB

    Elliot

    Cedric Fosu Lowe

    Mkhi Eriksen Salah Atsu

    Kane (c) Chicha Lukaku

    Foster Carroll Naughton Mariappa

      gtg spend that money in defense next week

    2. jia you

      Not a fan of the weak defence but that's the sacrifice of owning both Kane & Kaku!

      I'm holding for those fix, no real better options at thr price.

  28. jia you
    9 years, 1 month ago

    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
    Lukaku / Lacazette / Chicarito
    (Myhill, Pogba, Carroll, Long)
    1.1m itb

    1. Steinburg FC
      9 years, 1 month ago

      no gtg do it next week

      1. jia you
        9 years, 1 month ago

        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
          9 years, 1 month 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
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks, yep Kola is looking very appealling atm!

    2. Postman Ty
      9 years, 1 month 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.
