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.

    Any obvious moves for this side?

    Butland
    Bertrand-Alderweireld-Moreno
    Ozil-Alli-Mahrez-Payet
    Kane-Aguero-Lukaku

    Hennessy-Ward-Stanislas-Simpson

      Lukaku news could make it obvious. Someone like Ward has little use now.

    2. steven8991
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Ozil/Mahrez to Firmino
      Lukaku to Vardy/Martial

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

      Lukaku > Afobe/Vardy/Rooney

      Upgrade Ward

    4. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Ward to Chelsea defender?

  2. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I really am struggling between Kane and Aguero as captaincy choice this week

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I have dumped it on Aguero as the default but the more i think of it Kane is a great option. I dont have the balls, will 99% stick on Aguro

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        If Kane hadn't done so well last week I would agree. Watford must be an easier fixture than Leicester though surely?

      2. Clay
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Absolutely agree.

    2. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Been struggling with this myself Cheese but as ML leader still does not have Kun and I am chasing I think I will stick with him.

      This of course can all come unstuck when said ML leader captains Kane and he goes off whilst Kun only manages 6-8

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Or 2. Any of these guys can still get 2. Look at Lukaku recently

        1. waldo666
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          True indeed, I'm trying to keep some positivity within a negative scenario though 😉

    3. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I have captained Aguero 6 of the last 7 weeks (captained Ozil vs Newcastle).

      I'm capping Sanchez but have Kane as vice.

    4. rainy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Same here. I've taken to using Bowstring's Men in Black feature as a tiebreaker. And, between us, Spurs/Hornets will have Roger East in charge, he second in the league for games per penalty given 😉

      1. FCSB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        least games per pen??

        1. rainy

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Right. Awards one every 2.2 matches or so.

          1. FCSB
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            thanks !!

  3. Venom Snake

    Any one have any transfer suggestions for me? I am absolutely stumped.

    2 FTs 0.3itb

    Butland
    Bellerin - Baines - Moreno
    Silva - Ozil - Payet - Alli
    Lukaku - Kane - Aguero

    Hennessey ; Mahrez - Simpson - Ward

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku to Vardy
      or
      Baines to Azpi?

      Moreno could go but prob hold this week

      Nice team

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Baines to Azpi or VVD I think are my best bets

    2. Jape
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku > Vardy/Afobe

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I really don't want to have both Vardy and Mahrez for the next two

  4. Joggers Nipple
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Morning all. Itching to take a hit, i know the wisdom is not for a defender but want rid of Baines off my team page so much-

    Butland
    Baines/ Rose/ Targett
    Sanchez/ Ozil/ Payet/ Mahrez
    Aguero/ Vardy/ Kane

    McCarthy/ Stanislas/ Ward/ Olsson

    1.9m ITB 0FT

    A Baines to Azpi
    B Something else (could easily do Stansilas to Alli but a doubt over start and who to bench?)
    C Hold

    Thanks

    1. Jape
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Hold i'd say

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Its prob right. Just can see my team page in my mind with Azpi there and it would 'look' so much nicer. I need to get a life!

        1. Jape
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Just do that next week 🙂

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Don't take any hits SAB. Your team looks great as is

    4. Clay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I'm holding Leighton for this week, would hate to miss out on one of his hauls. Fresh and raring to go.

  5. Scratch
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Finally got a chance to listen to the scoutcast.
    About Sanchez... something which no one mentioned is he looked slightly off the pace and basically like there was nothing left in his tank before the injury, and that could well have been down to getting practically no summer rest due to the Copa America. Now with 6 or 7 weeks off with the injury he looks sharp and has that energy again.

    1. Jape
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      shhh 😉

  6. Rossamous
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    % chance that Targett will start? Thought I heard that last week's benching was due to tactics.

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Pure hope but 80%. Think it was tactical as playing a 'good' side so 0-0 ok, home to a 'poorer' side, hoping they set to attack

      1. Rossamous
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        My thoughts as well. Would have to weigh the risk with that of another potential 5 minute cameo.

    2. I Member

      50%

  7. L S P

    Best FWD for under 6.7?

    Best MID for under 6.5?

    Cheers/Thanks/Help!

    1. Rossamous

      Afobe/Iggy

      Alli

    How's the Paloschi bandwagon coming along?

      Hit a brick wall

  9. TorresMagic™

    Ideas on this lot?

    de Gea Hennessey
    Ward Bellerín Moreno Francis Simpson
    Payet Alli Mahrez Stanislas Özil
    Lukaku Kane Agüero

    2 FT, £4.5m in the bank.

    a) sort Lukaku even it fit.
    b) upgrade a mid
    c) upgrade Ward
    d) something else

    Cheers

    1. Jape
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      A

    2. Clay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I did Lukaku to Vardy and feel better for it. But then again I had three Toffees so had to start culling.

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      C...your D isnt awe-inspiring to be honest.

    4. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      A. But C to a Chelsea defender is tempting too. Upgrade a mid to Man C after their blank

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Could be GW30 blank for City too.

    5. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        yes

    2. Jape
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      City mid? or do you think Kun is enough?

      I'd also get a better keeper than Rudd.

      1. KUN+10
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Not sure who, not sold on Silva. Rudd is the perfect rotator with Soto.

      Pretty good, can't see any real holes here.

    Posting again.

    Looking at Sagna > Ivanovic next week after the United game, anyone else considering Ivan?

    1. Jape
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Azpi over Ivan

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        why exactly Mr. Pool?

        1. Jape
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Gets more baps I believe and he's cheaper. *Insert sexual innuendo here*

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            Azpi has 140 minutes more played, 5 more points, 1 more goal, 1 fewer assist, 1 fewer bonus, but 73 more bps.

            Also costs 0.8m less and has 4% more ownership.

            Hmmmmmmm, decisions decisions.

            1. Jape
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 10 months ago

              Surely it's better to go for the cheaper option who has more points and gets more baps 😛

              1. sinik
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 10 months ago

                I'm going to need to dive in and see how they compare specifically under HIddink, as Mourinho time is irrelevant.

                I suspect Azpi still comes out on top lol

                1. Jape
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 10 months ago

                  Yea good point. Either way they're both good options. 🙂

                  1. sinik
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 12 Years
                    9 years, 10 months ago

                    Ivan is winning when I compare them over the last 8 gameweeks (since Hiddink took over). Notably penalty area touches and set piece threat.

    2. Clay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yep, absolutely, for Baines.

  12. dennis the menace

    Hi guys, pick one to bench>> Zouma, Bellerin, Walker, Moreno

    1. Jape

      Zouma

    2. Scratch
      • 16 Years

      Walker

      1. dennis the menace
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Because he may not start or you expect Spurs to concede?

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Walker

    4. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Walker for me

  13. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    What would you do with this lot guys?

    Butland l Hennessey
    Zouma l Bertrand l Dawson l Jagielka l Souare
    Silva l Sanchez l Payet l Marhez l Gosling
    Ighalo l Aguero l Kane

      save FT. bench gosling, ighalo, souare

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers mate, you'd bench Ighalo ahead of a def? I can see Ighalo scoring 1 against tot

        1. I Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          I'd start Ighalo. Bench Jagielka or Dawson.

          1. The Man Pastore
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            That's what I am thinking too. I'll bench Jags / Gosling / Souare

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Stick get the 2 FTs

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks, that was my thinking too

  14. Lallana_
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Aguero (C) seems the safest thing to do these days but Leicester are fantastic defensively and I think they'll park the bus and counter attack using Vardy's pace.

    1. dennis the menace
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Capt Kun

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Is considering Firminio just silly. Have Aguero but not Kane.

    3. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      capt kun again-aint broke

    4. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Might go with Sanchez, I am 40pts behing ML leader and LEI are very good defensively lately

    5. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez (c), Kane (v) here 🙂

    Mahrez;alli;payet;silva ;sanchez
    vardy;kun(igloo)

    Yes -people normally recoil in horror at the cech +hart show;then the daniels +francis combo
    But up to now i'm having a very successful season for me @8k

    I've got 2FT-any radical pruning ideas suggested?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Francis -> Simpson just so you don't waste a FT.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Upgrade Francis? Not sure finance you have. Anyway with 8 k rank you don't need my advice.

      1. 32chickens

        9 years, 10 months ago

        2.3 ITB

    How's this look for tomorrow?

    Bunn
    Toby / Monreal / Williams
    Antonio / Sanchez / Silva / Alli / Firmino
    Aguero / Kane

    Subs: Butland / Afobe / Targett / Daniels

    Currently on Sanchez (c), but debating Firmino.

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years

      go kun captain-citeh to give upstarts a spanking

      1. davies

          depends
          i'm a citeh fan -but i like way leicester play
          I think leicester will leave spaces as they attack-citeh 2-0

            • 10 Years

            Plus at the end of the day it's Aguero... Sanchez is very very tempting though

      Go in comparison tool and look at A v B from GW17-24 (Hiddink's stint). It'll become obvious who to go for.

    Sanchez (C) - Ozil - Payet - Mahrez - Alli
    Aguero - Kane

    Myhill - Ighalo - Bertrand - Francis

    1. I Member

      Yeah looks good. Only thing I'd consider is Ighalo over Mahrez.

      1. Kered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Who has better defense? City or Spurs?

        I prefer Mahrez here over Ighalo.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Spurs

        2. I Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          City have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 6 and I expect Leicester to set up defensively.

          1. 32chickens
            • 15 Years

              I think City will score. Don't see Leicester getting more than one.

  20. Koflok
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Which move?

    a) Lukaku -> Kane

    b) Gosling -> Firmino (play 3-5-2, Lukaku on bench)

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      A for the longer term b for short term

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      A

      No point keeping Lukaku if you're going to bench him. If he's fit you'll want to play him and if he's not he'll be dropping in price. Plus both he and Firmino have a blank in GW27.

      1. Koflok
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        My thinking is that I'd want Firmino for the next 2.

        And I'm monitoring Kane vs Vardy right now. Vardy is doing okay and has relatively easy GW 27 & 30

  21. Hargo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Pick one to bench:
    A. Mahrez,
    B. Arnautovic
    C. Ighalo

    1. I Member

        You'd play Mahrez at City over Arnautovic at home to Everton?

          • 10 Years

          Yes. You make it sound like it's a crazy idea.

              • 10 Years
              9 years, 10 months ago

              The reason I asked is because I own both and right now I have Arnie starting over Mahrez.

              1. Jape
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 10 months ago

                I feel like Mahrez is the safer option to be honest.

                Stoke not scored in their last 3/4.

                Mahrez had a few shots vs Liverpool and look threatening as ever.

    Hi lads,

    I'll be glad, if you help me out with my squad:

    Forster / Butland

    Simpson / Toby / Sagna / Dawson / Daniels

    Ozil / Payet / Mahrez / Firmino / Stanislas

    Kane / Kun / Lukaku

    WC is active, 0,1 ITB.

    Thank you beforehand

    1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Sagna probably needs to go. A bit of a rotation risk. Stanislas similarly.

      1. diego_costa
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        What about Lukaku?
        Payet-Antonio
        Ozil-Sanchez?

        1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Not thinking straight. Ozil to Sanchez. Keep Payet as he's nailed and Antonio isn't.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Vardy over lukaku I think. Use bucks to get Sanchez for Ozil and Stanislas to Alli.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Sorry not enough bucks. Just enough for Stanislas to Alli and Lukaku to Vardy.

          keep nacho
          its counterintu
          but here's my logic
          nacho's good and has gone to no2 in citeh pek order
          as a 5th striker i'd keep him in case of kun injury
          mitrovic ,better figures,but suspect his time will be strangled by the big fella with 40% conversions that no one is talking about

          trade mitro

              yes citeh it is-this boy's got quality,fans love him
              kdb being out +kun being fit have both come at the right time
              he's now in the CL squad,kun will provide some cover and he will share minutes with sterling I suspect,bony is very grumpy about all this
              I like the way he took over the pen in the cup

              as i say as a punt , a final defender he could be fun

      Bench Iggy and Dann

      1. kawaiii
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        So you think United have a better chance of a cleanie than Palace ?
        Mahrez more likely to get points than Iggy ?

        1. Jape
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Palace defence has been terrible recently so yea.

          Mahrez is Mahrez and Spurs defence will probably be quite hard for Watford.

          Go with your gut though

          1. kawaiii
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            Sound logic
            I always feel Spurs will concede 1, despite good form
            But, yes, Mahrez can always provide Vardy with an assist

            On another note, anyone considering Wimmer ? Cheap !

            1. Jape
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 10 months ago

              Wimmer is nailed only until Vert is back. Don't know when that is though
