So I did it. After a couple of weeks attempting to resist Sergio Aguero and, despite meticulously constructing a convincing case to avoid him, I went back on my word.

Recovering from the dramatic climb-down, I felt rather hollow heading into this ScoutCast, with Jonty, Andy and Luke all too keen to watch on while I tucked into humble pie.

Not surprisingly, I spend a good part of this episode justifying the back tracking, before I join my co-hosts in offering views on another bout of community questions. We discuss the Lukaku exit plans, Ozil vs Sanchez and contemplate options between the sticks with Jack Butland losing his shine.

Then we move on to the Gameweek preview, as I desperately try to find some joy in pondering which mid-price defender to sign heading into Saturday’s deadline. Sigh.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first aired live on Wednesday evening via our YouTube channel.

NB: apologies in advance for Luke’s sound quality. We discovered a technical problem after the recording was completed. If you’re struggling to decipher what he’s saying, just imagine him agreeing with everything I say.

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

      Arsenal to raise season tickets by £20. Your immediate reaction?

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        The price of fans demanding ever more expensive players with greedy agents and ludicrous wage demands.

        Football needs to start paying on a performance basis. If players win games then get the full wage, otherwise it should be much lower.
        It might stop a few just ambling about playing out their vast contracts.

      10 years, 6 hours ago

      CAPTAIN --> Ozil, Arny, Aguero? I'm between Ozil and Arny right now based off fixture. Can't see Leicester giving up much, and my other fixtures aren't the best.

      1. Milner4eva
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Do you have Kane or Aguero?

        1. Milner4eva
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          Oops, Kun all the way

          1. Postman Ty
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 hours ago

            Last time they played Leicester was a 0-0. I can see the same happening. I have Kane as well but Watford's defence is also solid.

            1. Milner4eva
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 6 hours ago

              Oh, if you have Kane, go Kane. On the road, Watford have been a bit of a mess and Kane is on FIRE. Spurs scoring plenty of goals too. Apparently the referee is prone to giving away lots of penalties too

              1. Postman Ty
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 6 hours ago

                I'll probably do that then. cheers

    11. Ibracadabra´s Spell
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 hours ago

      Mahrez - Silva - Payet
      Austin - Lukaku

      In case Lukaku is fit:

      A) Ozil and Deeney to Firmino and Vardy
      B) Arnautovic and Deeney to Alli and Vardy
      C) Keep Arnautovic and bench Deeney

      A, B or C?

    12. DAV087
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 hours ago

      Is it crazy to use bench boost in GW27? My only blanks are Aguero and Wijnaldum who I can transfer to Vardy and Mahrez.

      Would leave me with
      Butland(AVL) Forster(CHE)
      Toby(SWA) Bellerin(mun) Cresswell(SUN) Simpson(NOR) Daniels (wat)
      Ozil(mun) Sanchez(mun) Payet(SUN) Alli(SWA) Mahrez(NOR) Kane(SWA) Vardy(NOR) Ighalo(BOU)

      Would still just have enough to get Aguero back for Ighalo. Thoughts on the idea?

    13. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 hours ago

      Damn. Forster made 10 saves last game? Is he the reason Southampton have improved defensively lately?

      1. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Yes

      2. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        10 saves won't hurt them

      3. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Yep, I have no doubt about that.

      4. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Partly without a doubt but they had started to pull themselves together at the back just before his return I think.

      5. Cevap
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Yes. Just spoke to my mate at work today and all the fans are convinced he has given them a spark

    14. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 hours ago

      So, the chance to directly swap Mahrez -> Sanchez has gone.

      I hope it's a correct decision to keep 1FT and play this team.

      Butland - (Hennessey)
      Toby - Bellerin - Moreno - (Dawson - Simpson)
      Ozil - Payet - Alli - Firmino (Mahrez)
      Aguero - Kane - Vardy

      1. Cevap
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Would not want to rid mahrez tbh. But would also want sanchez..but can't have everyone

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          Me too. I think Firmino will be upgraded to Sanchez rather than Mahrez.

          Just timing.

            I like it...you may not miss on any points with sanchez...not like he scored any last week for me 🙂

    15. Cevap

      10 years, 6 hours ago

      Lukaku to:

      A) rooney
      B) Costa
      C) Austin

      Really trying to have a differential for the next 2...then getting vardy depending on who is firing...appreciate the advice

      1. Milner4eva
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Vardy

        1. Cevap
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          Need a differential though mate

          1. Milner4eva
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 6 hours ago

            Out of those, Wazza, but I really don't see him being a better option than V in the short, mid or long term

            1. Cevap
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 6 hours ago

      2. waldo666

        I am heavily leaning towards A

        1. Cevap
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          Me too but chelsea have two home fixtures (I think)

        I just got Afobe for a bit of a punt. But then I gave up on this season about GW10.

        1. Cevap
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          Hahaha sorry flynn. I guess this season has been an anomoly. Almost made me want to stop playing fpl altogether (not a sore loser or anything) 🙂

      4. pablo discobar
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        B or C. Wait for team news on Austin, Koeman on Wednesday said he would be fine. Austin is a great differential imo

        Costa is an intresting one, but Austin price allows upgrades elsewhere

        1. Cevap
          • 15 Years

      5. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        If Austin is fit and nailed to start, I'd pick him.

        If not, I'd give Rooney a chance.

      Any help greatly appreciated x

            it's far more secure than anything else.

      4. Springbank
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Bad luck. Sorry to hear.

        I've bought tickets from around the stadium coming from London, it's rare you find two tickets seating together so if you are prepare to watch the game not with your mate then maybe you have a chance. Worst case there's the pubs around great atmosphere.

        Oh one more things a few fans will be leaving the stadium at 77th mins in protest agains tickets price increase - funny enough so you may be able to ask someone to give you his ticket!

        1. djenzio
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          Cool thanks for the advice

          If I can't find tickets I'll try get over at the 77th minute then!

              Yep, benched 13 point Alli for him too haha. But I'm gonna keep the faith with him, don't mind him on the bench this week.

      ***Wildcard activated*** How is it coming along folks?

      Forster Mcarthy
      Toby Daniels Cresswell Fonte Simpson
      Alli Payet Mahrez Ozil Sanchez
      Kun kane vardy

      1.8 ITB. Thinking:

      Simpson to Fuchs, will leave me 1.2 ITB
      Payet to Firmino, 1.1 itb
      Toby to Azpi
      and Finally Mcarthy to a keeper that rotates well aith Forster.

      Thoughts?

      1. Tony Yeboah
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Yh i would want a chelsea def on a WC. Fonte>Azpi/Ivan would be may call. Yh i might spend the extra money on Fuchs considering the rest of the team already looks great.

              I thought about him just not inspired by Arsenal attack at all atm they look toothless.

              I'm afraid Walcott's waywardness is infectious.

      Open to a short term punt involving Vardy or Payet...Wijnaldum/Austin/Paloschi or others you recommend? Lloris>Forster maybe? Was planning to ship Ozil after this gameweek but he and Sanchez both looked very dangerous against saints....double up a gd idea for longer term?

          Yh nice shout. 1 week punt on Oscar. I like this idea.

      What about afobe for a two week punt before getting vardy?

        Yep. Good option.

    23. Puyol Pants Up

      Best striker for 6.9 and under?

      1. Milner4eva

        Ighalo

          This ^
          But in terms of FPL points over next 2 weeks... Afobe or Naismith for me.

        2. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          4 blanks in his last 5?

          5 blanks in his last 6 if you consider a 5 pointer a blank.

          1. Milner4eva
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 6 hours ago

            Don't see how that matters massively, only important thing is he's looking sharp and still getting chances.

            1. Puyol Pants Up
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 6 hours ago

              He hasn't really had many chances

      2. DRAFTSNAKE
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        assuming you have Ighalo or you wouldn't have asked so I'll say Afobe.

      Just logging in to check up on Balders. I caught up on last night's discussion that he'd broken his metatarsal. Any news from the lad?

      1. :

        GW34 and GW37

        Arsenal and Man Utd games are very likely to be blanks in GW30.

      11 of the 21 most expensive strikers in FPL are currently flagged........

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        TV has meant nothing this season. So annoying for me looking after the pennies whilst my casual rivals have no issue with all the budget options available

        1. DRAFTSNAKE
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          Agreed, I have so much money to play with I almost feel obliged to waste it on more expensive but worse options rather than pick a load of budget ones that are clearly the right choice. I blame Leicester.

          1. oghash
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 6 hours ago

            Do you have a link to your team?

            1. DRAFTSNAKE

              http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/767369/event-history/24/ I wildcarded this week though so it looks a bit different now 🙂

              1. oghash
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 6 hours ago

                You have used all of your money up on your wc, so your TV/SV was important to you then?

                1. DRAFTSNAKE
                  • 11 Years
                  10 years, 6 hours ago

                  well yes and no, I have players like Firmino, Kolarov, Ivanovic but I could/should/would happily have players like Ayew, Daniels and Simpson instead. All I'm saying is if I had the original 100m (or if someone new started from this point) it wouldn't be a problem putting a competitive team together. I reckon I could have a decent team for 85m tbh,

    28. The EJJ
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 hours ago

      Butland, Hennessey
      Bellerin, Evans, Wolscheid, Simpson, Nyom
      Ozil, Mahrez, Payet, Alli, Westwood
      Lukaku, Kane, Aguero

      2ft. 4.7m

      Team looking in a right pickle. How does Lukaku -> Vardy and Evans -> Ivanovic look?

      1. DRAFTSNAKE
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        do it immediately. Vardy is fixture-proof IMO.

      2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Upgrade Westwood - a strong 15 is needed with the blanks and DGWs imminent

        1. Milner4eva
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          Lukaku to Vardy, keep the other FT, more money to upgrade Westwood and more time to asess the options

        2. DRAFTSNAKE
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          this. GW27 you should do Westwood to Arnie.

        3. The EJJ
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          I'm looking at doing that soon, possibly this week for Antonio

          1. Milner4eva
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 6 hours ago

            What would be the point if you would just bench Antonio or someone like Mahrez anyway? May as well roll the FT and stay flexible

      3. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Good transfers for me.

    29. FCSB

      who is most likely to play this GW:

      A. Kolorov

          I'd have Jags and save the 1.1 for elsewhere.

          1. FCSB
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 6 hours ago

            I already have them in the squad, one of them is getting tfr out this week and the other next week... just dont want to -4

      2. Milner4eva
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        I don't think either of those are good picks. To answer your question, B.

      1. FCSB

        nailed on until Vert returns

      2. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Yes

    31. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 hours ago

      Got 2 FT.

      Baines + Lukaku -> Van Dijk + Rooney?

      Should I do it?

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        No

        1. DV8R
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          Not even the Baines switch? I need to use one FT so...

          1. Milner4eva
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 6 hours ago

            I think they are good moves, I still think Vardy is a better option than Rooney though

          2. Walsh
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 6 hours ago

            I would get rid of both but I'd opt for different players than the two you've pegged. Probably a Chelsea defender in and Vardy.

    32. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 hours ago

      Better transfer over the next couple gameweeks.

      Lukaku to Vardy

      or

      Dawson to a Soton defender

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Both will reap rewards. Depends on the rest of your defense situation but I'd think there is a higher points ceiling in making the attacker switch.

      2. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        If Lukaku is injured than A. If Not B over the next couple of weeks.

        If not B over the next couple of weeks but B in the longer term.

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          Sorry part 2 was A in the longer term

            • 16 Years

            cheers thanks. and I agree

    33. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 hours ago

      Butland (Hennessy)
      Bellerin Dawson Dier (Ward, Huth)
      Alli Ozil Mahrez Payet (Gosling)
      Kun(c) Lukaku Kane (vc)

      How would you line up?

      1 FT, 0.9. Get rid of Lukaku?

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 hours ago

        Luk and Ozil out for Vardy and Alexi -4? Can you afford that?

        1. Ravager
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 hours ago

          Could afford it, but hesitant to take a hit right now. Finally making ground on my ML, just 8 pts behind first. Thanks though!

    34. Ibracadabra´s Spell
      • 11 Years

      Scenarios:

      Lukaku is fit and I will bench Deeney and play 5 mids.

      Lukaku is not fit and I will buy a 2 week punt. (I have Austin too)

      Best 2 week forward punt?

    35. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Ozil to Sanchez and Lukaku to Vardy.

      1. Walsh
