“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.

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

    Best two midfielders for a combined 16.1 million to replace Mane/Pogba? (Have Eriksen)

    That leaves me with enough money to do Chicharito -> Firmino for -4, worth it?

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

      Keep Chicarito (and your 4 points) and get Alli and Silva

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I'm in exactly the same boat! I'm doing Mané + Pogba + Chicharito > Alli + Fellaini + Jesus

      🙂

    3. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Gross and Coutinho?

    4. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Salah has to be one of the mids coming in imo.

      I'd say the other could be Ramsey, but I don't like the looks of any of the

    5. Awesomeness
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Thanks for the replies! Now I am thinking a combination of your ideas, Mane and Pogba -> Alli and Gross with FTs

      That does leave me enough money to do Chicharito -> Firmino for -4 though, would you do it now for -4 or do it with FT next week?

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

        Or Salah instead of Alli since I have Eriksen... This is so hard!! Lol

  2. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Repost lads, zero replies. Anything you would change here? 1FT, 0.1 ITB

    Elliot
    Naughton - Davies - Alonso - Jones
    Miki - Eriksen - Salah
    Lukaku (c) - Morata - Firmino
    ____________________________
    Krul: RLC, Carroll, Mbemba

    Was debating to do an Andy and take Lukaku out for Kane as part of a minus 4 but can't bring myself to do it.

    Roll the free transfer?
    Thanks in advance fellas.

    1. @FPLMason
      • 14 Years

      Gtg tbh

        Cheers LL 🙂

  3. BigManBakar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Foster vs Elliot is such a tough call this week.

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

      elliot for sure. foster doesn't get many save points

      1. BigManBakar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        I agree. Plus Elliot has the better baps potential. But WBA look more likely for a clean sheet.

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

          hmm i don't know. i think west ham more likely to score than stoke

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I'd go Elliot FF 🙂

      1. BigManBakar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Cheers mate, going to be a last minute call for me!

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Have the same two. Elliott just edges it for me.

  4. @FPLMason
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Foster Myhill
    Lejuene Stephens Lowe Mee Naughton
    Salah Miki Eriksen Mooy Carroll
    Chicharito Lukaku Kane
    2 Fts, 0.9 itb
    A) Stephens to Davies
    B) Stephens & Mooy to Davies & Gross
    C) Any other suggestions
    Cheers, all.

  5. Atwood
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Don't want to use wildcard so just gonna take a hit on the chin. I want to get rid of Yoshida and Willian. Any thoughts on good replacements?

    Foster
    Jones - Naughton - Yoshida
    Alli - Willian - Mhikitaryan - Salah
    Lukaku - Kane - Abraham

    Elliot - Carroll - Francis - Long

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

      willian to moting yoshida to davies

      1. Atwood
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah, was thinking either Moting or Jese, Davies could be a good shout

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

      Ritchie and Kolasinac.

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

        Actually, yeah. Probably Davies ahead of Kolasinac

        1. Atwood
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Yeah, this weeks fixture putting me off Kolasinac. Ritchie is interesting though

    3. @FPLMason
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Depens when you're WCding tbh to see how long do you want to keep those players

      1. Atwood
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Keeping the WC has been valuable in recent years as I've got a habit of getting hit by a ton of suspensions/injuries at once. I think at the moment I can just about sort the team out with transfers.

    4. Prøfeßör …
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      How much ITB?

      Davies is a must. Willian can be a wait and see if you are unsure on the replacement - there are simply too many options.

      1. Atwood
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Not enough for the upgrade to Davies unfortunately

        1. Prøfeßör …
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          In that case I'd go with Moting or Ritchie. I think Moting is pretty low risk and great value for money.

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

          Same kind of situation. Thinking of Willian to up to 5.3 mid and TAA to Davies for a hit. Leaves me with enough for Bertie to Kola next week.
          Don't think there's anything worth going above in the 6-7 mil category.

  6. UnitedFan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Antonio worth a punt?

  7. AllStars
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Elliott

    Trippier Jones Alonso Hegazi

    Eriksen Richarlison, Pogba

    Chic Kaku Kane(C)

    Subs: Foster, Tadic, Romeu, Mbemba

    Two free transfers, thinking either:

    1. Pogba / Chic / Jones to Gross / Morata / Clark for -4
    2. Pogba / Chic to Firmino / Ritchie or Gross
    3. Pogba / Tadic to Salah / Gross

  8. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    A - Alli + 4
    or
    B - Lukaku

    For the next 4 GWs

    1. @FPLMason
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      B

      1. @FPLMason
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Sorry meant A. A!

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          almost as indecisive as me 🙂

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

      4 May be equal. 3 I'd take Lukaku

  9. Lestat
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    OUT:

    Willian | Tadic | Yoshida

    IN:

    Alli | Groß | Gamez

    Worth a -4 point hit just to get Alli in??

    1. banskt
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Gamez is not going to see much game time.

    2. Prøfeßör …
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Gamez is a very poor choice.

  10. banskt
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    WC suggestions:

    A. Mendy + Maguire + Ritchie / Caroll / 4.5m def rotation
    B. Luiz + Ramsey + Simpson / Kiko / Caroll rotation

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      A

      1. banskt
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Thanks.

        Any other opinions?

  11. camarozz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    GroS stats are pretty poor tbf FPLVIRGIN!!

    1. banskt
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      The stats put me off Gross-ly.

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

      Brighton as a whole are poor offensively. I wouldn't invest.

    3. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      They've played City H, Leicester A, Watford A before his explosion. Three very tough games.

      He's a class act. Could be a Siggy-lite.

      1. banskt
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        This is something to consider as well. A WC is so difficult.

    4. @FPLMason
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Acc to this, you'd suggest I'd do just A for my week's transfers?

  12. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Thoughts on the following moves for -4

    Transfers Out : Trippier, DeBruyne, Gabbiadini

    Transfers In : Maguire, Gross or mid up to 5.8m, Kane

    This would give me a front 3 off: Kane Lukaku Jesus

  13. BrutalLogiC
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    worth shipping Pogba for -4? any clues when he is back

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

      Ship. He's out for 4-6 weeks.

    2. Pierce34
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Depends on your bench

  14. Sepp Blattered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Salah or Coutinho + 0.3

    1. banskt
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I brought in Coutinho. Could go either way.

  15. semiconductor
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    would u sacrifice mkhi (choupo-moting) to do these 2 changes
    Chicharito to Vardy and wimmer to stones??

    P.S. I already have Davies, Kane, Eriksen, Salah and Lukaku

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

      No

  16. Emiliano Sala
    • 10 Years

    Kola or bellerin after chelsea match...

    1. Pochecinno

  17. foreverton

    9 years, 4 days ago

    Which Southampton defender?

    1. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      one of the fullbacks...cedric is cheaper

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

      None.

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Cedric but I wouldn't be buying for a few weeks.

  18. glufs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    A) Alonso - Silva

  20. ignis88
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Stones and 1 ITB, or Mendy and 0 ITB ? Could be useful to have that 1 mil for upgrading eriksen to hazard

  21. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Which duo would you choose?
    A) Jesus & Mikhi
    B) Kaku & Sterling

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      A no doubt

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah, currently on it, but this Sterling lad can be a great differential, if he was only 100% nailed...

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 10 Years

        Cheers guys, have a good GW.

  22. Clintymints
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    If you could pick a 4.5 defender and a 4.0 defender, who would you go for?

    TAA and Gamez atm.

    Rosenoir or Gamez up for the best 4.0 spot but no idea who will get more minutes!

    TAA title risk but might be a sneaky punt

    1. ENZO SZN™
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      TAA will play next CL game since Gomez is suspended.
      Means Gomez PL and TAA CL rotation.

      I guess.

  23. Ruffio
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Kaku and chicharito to
    Kane and rashford. For free

    Good plan?

    Richarlison or Ritchie and why? Richarlison speedy and more threat but Ritchie take pens...

    1. Pochecinno

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago
