Inevitably, Zlatan Ibrahimovic stalks Episode 195 of the ScoutCast. Lauding over us like a Eric Cantona wannabe, the big Swede has wasted know time in getting Granville, Jonty, Andy and myself all in a tizzy.

Do you dare go without the Zlatan/Aguero double act? How do you adapt your midfield to accommodate the pricey pair? Will a wolf enter the Scout hut and interrupt the broadcast?

These questions and more are all answered over the course of another 70 minutes, as Jonty serves up our first “Rough with the Smooth” Gameweek tales from the community, before throwing us the best of your questions gathered throughout the week.

In other news, we’re still 100 episodes short of Last of the Summer Wine’s 295. Stick with us guys, we’re nearly almost there. Coincidentally, we also stopped being funny back in episode three.

This episode was first broadcast via YouTube on Tuesday evening. Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to get the heads up on future live episodes.

            Ibrahimovic should be the captain because he is the most popular player.

              Goes off the captain poll.

            I am out, though keep it up.. Nice to see %s team.. Some team that is, can easily beat barca or Bayern..

          It's likely Kingsley can play this weekend.
          "Neil Taylor will play for u23s v West Ham on Friday to build fitness, so misses Leicester"

          I can save my aoa chip. Evans, Friend, Kingsley. These of three I need one who can play this GW. Hopefully it's Evans.

            is holgate nailed?

              no

                    1. The Truth Is...
                        9 years, 5 months ago

                        lack of goals maybe a worry for points

                          9 years, 5 months ago

                          Thats true, but for a 5.0 defender you cant get much better

                Fell alseep during last boro game. Is negredo looking like a real FPL player or just lucky to be in the points so far?

                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    only because of recent fixtures but i think firmino will get more points in the season

                    1. The Truth Is...
                        9 years, 5 months ago

                      hazard, mane, lamela, redmond
                      ibra, aquero (captain), negredo

                      subs- jaku, capoue, friend, amat

                      good to go? or any other suggestions. Much Appreciated

                    I haven't got zlatan and at the moment I think I can do without, you only need one captain a week, at the moment I've got aguero with payet for the odd week aguero has a tough fixture.

                    1. Kante Be Bothered
                      • 9 Years
                      9 years, 5 months ago

                      Payet: injured, plays for a poor West Ham side

                      Ibra: 50%+ ownership, will score lots and lots of goals

                    2. Hubert
                      • 13 Years
                      9 years, 5 months ago

                      Flawed logic old son. This game is about points, and so far Ibra is getting plenty.

                      9 years, 5 months ago

                      Get Ibra or make sure you have forwards who can keep up with his scoring.

                      9 years, 5 months ago

                      This would only make sense if Lamela wasn't performing better than Eriksen, and Redmond wasn't outscoring Tadic, and the 6.5 forwards weren't outperforming all the big hitters outside of Kun and Ibra. As is, it's really easy to have both Kun and Ibra, so you should.

                      9 years, 5 months ago

                      Predicted line-ups show one of Janssen or Eriksen will b on the bench. 3 Chelsea players seem a bit much. Llorente tough fixtures now.

                    Redmond or Lamela ? or name another 7.4 midfielder, please !

                      Tadic? I think he is 7.4

                      2FT - should I do De Gea to Fostet?

                          9 years, 5 months ago

                          No but can't see what to do...

                          De Gea, Jak

                          Holding, Stones, Amat, McCauly, PVH

                          Ox, Lamela, Hazard, Capoue, Mane

                          Aguero, Ztlan, Gray

                          I was thinking De Gea would free up £ to upgrade mid/def over international break

                          1. Arceus
                            • 9 Years

                            Ox to Redmond. Preserve the 2 FTs over the International break.

                              That's what I'd like to do but short by 0.1

                            If you think Foster will outscore DDG in the short term then why not.
                            Good to have 2 FTs for international break.

                        Too early for Benteke as Palace is getting another striker. Gray will start against Chelsea, fate undecided yet until end of this month. Chelsea's defense not that stellar.

                      A) AOA with Capoue, Valencia, McAuley
                      B) 343 with Stones

                      today's West Ham result is clouding my thoughts (have injured Friend and Amat to round out 5)

                          nah banking on a sweet 2 pointer. maybe he'll get booked even!

                        Unless Payet/Lanzini are heavily involved or we manage to pull a new striker out of thin air then we do not look like scoring at all at the moment, so I would back Stones this weekend

                          cheers man, yeah the result today got me thinking twice about that AOA idea I concocted yesterday

                      Repost, sorry I got bottomed

                      I got 2 FT and I don't have a clue:

                      Jaku, Heaton

                      Shaw, Azpi, Stones, Amat, Friend

                      Hazard, Redmond, Firmino, Townsend, Capoue

                      Kun, Ibra Gray

                      What would u do?

                        Everyone will need to lose Gray soon, you might aswell do so . I don't rate Firmino in FPL either.

                      2. Kane Toads
                        • 13 Years

                        Looks good. Any cash? If so perhaps upgrade Amat. No real problems there.

                          Should have already dumped Firm because of drops. At this point, may as well stick and see what happens.

                          I say this because had 2 frees myself and swapped Firm/Vardy for Haz/Negrado

                    11. IAmTheWalrus
                      • 16 Years
                      9 years, 5 months ago

                      I don't have ibra. I have vardy and martial (who are not up to much)

                      Should i stick with Vardy and martial for this week or swap vardy for ibra and martial for a 7.7. midfielder (probably barkley)

                      Struggling with this one, please help 🙂

                          +1

                          I would save Vardy for next week and swap Martial for Barkley!

                          1. Reiko

                            Ibra's price and ownership will keep going up regardless he scores in this game or not. No Champions League to worry bout either.

                          You know, I like the move to get Ibrah, but both Vardy and Martial could do this business this week.

                          Vardy I think must go as is just too expensive. Martial could come good though and priced appropriately.

                      What are people's thoughts on Galloway's move to West Brom?

                      Do we think he's straight into the side and nailed?

                      Could be a steal at 4.5mil as he's a very attacking full back in a West Brom side that can keep clean sheets.

                      Definitely on my watch list for the WC, but keep it between us. 😉

                        Didn't even know he'd moved there.
                        Would be very keen on a WBA double up (with Foster) if this comes to fruition!

                          Yep, played his first game for them midweek in the cup and was very good by all reports.

                          Should cement a role on the left for Evans eventually, with Evans then moving to partner McAuley at CB with Olssen moving to the bench.

                          I think an Evans/McAuley central partnership would also be much stronger so the knock on effect of Galloway's arrival could be an even stronger Pulis defence and clean sheet potential.

                          Watch this space. 😉

                      right so I have used my WC this week and I have nothing in bank, so far my team is:

                      De gea
                      stones, mcauley, holgate
                      mane, hazard, lamela, redmond
                      negredo, ibra, aquero(captain)

                      subs- jaku, capoue, friend, amat

                      good to go? or any other suggestions? Much Appreciated

                            Haven't looked at the price numbers if you were to get in Foster for De Gea and change out Mcauley for Shaw/Valencia? Just a thought as I rate their chance of attacking returns EVERY game right now.

                              yeah thats a good shout, just checked I miss out on shaw by 0.2 and valencia by 0.1 which is too close of a call hahaha. oh well dont mind sticking with dea gea as long as I have a manu player thats at the back and can get clean sheets and maybe bonous points

                                Fair play. Good luck with team. Can't go wrong with that. As a Lpool fan LOVE the Mane pick.
                                Watched every minute he has played for us and really hoping he loses his "inconsistent" label this season.

                                  To be fair, he actually hasn't been inconsistent.

                                  Rather he has actually been quite consistent given the past returns he has posted compared to the minutes he has played.

                                  If anything it has been his minutes that have been inconsistent for various reasons, but his returns have been quite consistent in comparison.

                                  I hate Liverpool, lol, but I think he is your best signing in quite some time and will become an absolute super star with regular minutes and a nailed down role.

                                  Can easily be a 200pts+ midfielder this season and beyond.

                                BTW our teams are almost identical except I have firmino instead of Mane and Gray instead of Negredo (+ the united defence with foster i mentioned) so hoping you do well haha

                      Too early to do Gray -> Benteke?

                      Such a bad fixture for Gray and a great fixture for benteke before a load more...

                        I still like Gray but I would maybe do it for fixtures only.

                        I'd do it if I had the cash. Would love to do it myself

                          Slightly worried about having so much cash in a front three (have aguero and ibra) but rarely take punts and figure this is a pretty good one

                        Predicted line-up shows Wickham starting. Not sure Benteke will play full 90 mins.

                          Would be fine with 60 mins tbh. Just gutted if he doesn't start.

                      When should I be looking to wc? My team is fine but I want to use it to maximise my chances of points, so during the international break?

                      1. HellasLEAF
                        • 16 Years
                        9 years, 5 months ago

                        I usually hang on until first international break. If my team needs more than -8 to fix that it.

                        Then swap out for all price risers. Wait two weeks. Then settle on the squad you want going forward.

                        Should make a bit of money this way, but also a good time to do it with transfer window and potential injuries over the break.

                          Alright sweet thanks. Guess I will use it then. I used it I think GW5 last year and it backfired pretty bad. 2 weeks of price changes could do wonders to my SV for sure.

                            I used to previously do mine during the international break to catch the rises and make some $ but over the past 2 seasons movement has been slow as WC transfers apparently don't count to price changes.. so don't expect too much $ over the international break.. If your team is in good shape then no need to WC yet

                              That's a good point, I might wait till I really need it!

                      Whispers of Gray getting 5 weeks. Hello international break wildcard for most

                        Why? If Gray is out its one transfer to Rondon

                            Possibly, I mean it didn't look a serious injury anyway. If he's out I can't see it being more than a week to be honest.

                              Yep, and it a Two week international break anyway so should be back for GW4

                                Agreed, can't see it causing us problems.

                                  Still could still start right, not guaranteed out?

                        I can go ask my Friend if you want? Want do you want to know?

                          Friend should be on peoples benches anyway this GW. If desperate for a start here then there are bigger issues..

                            Against West Brom..? Surely there are tougher opponents out there who can at least average a goal per game throughout the whole team.

                            My defense atm is Valencia, Stones, Friend, Evans and Kone. Lol.

                            Who gets benched then? 🙂

                      Working the graveyard shift so need time to kill who should I choose for captain in GW 3?

                      A) Kun
                      B) Ibra
                      C) Mahrez

                        9 years, 5 months ago

                        Play it safe and go with Kun... if you feeling punty Mahrez is the one

                        Jakupovic. I have a feeling Jakupovic will score a goal.

                        P.S. last time i had this feeling... i won the lottery

                          Yeah I'm feeling punty might go with Jakupovic and use my TC chip on him too :3

                      Negredo rising tomorrow?

                        • 11 Years
                        9 years, 5 months ago

                        87% on FPL so very likely to rise at the end of the day

                        • 10 Years

                        Less than 11k transfers needed. Over 220k already made....

                      Giroud v Lukaku?

                      1. Kante Be Bothered
                        • 9 Years
                        9 years, 5 months ago

                        Lukaku

                      2. Reiko
                        • 10 Years
                        9 years, 5 months ago

                        Sadly no budget to accommodate either. But personally would pick Giroud. Not sure how much returns Lukaku will produce under Koeman.

                        1. dgs2
                          • 11 Years
                          9 years, 5 months ago

                          Arsenal rumored to be getting a new striker.. Could see Giroud's gametime at risk.. with Lukaku unless he gets injured he should play every game and is likely on Pks

                      I have Valencia, Stones whom I will surely start.

                      My other Defs are Evans, Friend and Amat(against Lei and I don't want to play him).

                      Is there any news on Evans and Friend or should I play the AOA?

                        • 13 Years
                        9 years, 5 months ago

                        Btw my fifth mid is Capoue..

                        1. dgs2

                          9 years, 5 months ago

                          with Capoue as a 5th mid, better to save AOA for later in the season as he is most likely going to get 2 points this week

                      I think Pogba could be a better fantasy than many think... He really is a box to box midfielder & if Frankie Lampard or Yaya have proven anything... It's that these type players can still be gold

                        • 10 Years
                        9 years, 5 months ago

                        Lampard, Gerrard & Toure were on Free Kicks & Pens if I m not mistaken.

                          9 years, 5 months ago

                          Gerrard and Lampard definitely, and Yaya was certainly on free kicks. Fatty used to warm the cockles of your heart, popping up in the last five minutes with a cheeky pen 🙂

                            Which means though Pogba will return points but not match the output of these players in their prime as he will be losing out on points from FKs & Pens.

                      Anyone better than Sterling for 8.0 or under? Already have Tadic and

                          Cazorla, Townsend, Lamela could match Sterling.. Sterling is on a mini sort of form atm though

                            imo take Sterling. with those two assists he is nicely under the radar as well.

                            Nolito got two goals for basically doing nothing but being around the net. could have been any city mid and Sterling has been very advanced.

                            Feel a goal and assist coming myself.

                              Yeah I think I might take your advice, not quite buying into the Lamela hype yet, will watch closely how the two compare over the next few weeks though

                            Don't particularly rate Townsend, like Cazorla but unsure about playing time. Lamela could be an option
