The ScoutCast – Episode 222 – Intense

There’s no other word for it, this week’s ScoutCast is certainly an “intense” affair, gripped by the troublesome uncertainty served up by the most testing double Gameweek in memory.

Jonty, Andy and Az once again join me as we quickly review our Gameweek 33s, before indulging in the main course – chewing through your queries that dissect the dilemmas served up by the forthcoming fixtures.

The merits of Zlatan, the head-to-head between Negredo and Benteke and a full risk assessment of shedding Sanchez and Sigurdsson – these are all topics to furrow the brow as we indulge in the most passionate of ScoutCasts for some weeks.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Monday 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.

      Back to the drawing board

      Why did I make the early transfer for to avoid 0.1 price rise last night... why Tom why

      1. Ephurion
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        And he didn't even rise...

        Not living up to your username, then?

    Is Origi -> Benteke/Negredo worth a -4, and which one would you do if so?

    1. Lovejoy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Or Rashford if Ibra injured

    2. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Leaning to Negredo for facing easier defences and avoid doubling Palace attacks.

      1. Lovejoy
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, think I agree

  4. dark91

    1. b✪mber
      • 8 Years

      for the lolz

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      knee injury

    3. La Roja

      Bad injury.. leg not made to bend that way

      1. the axolotl
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        zlatan's leg can bend any way he wants.... surely right?

    5. dark91
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      And i was sad that Valdes was injured !!
      Hard luck to all those who have him/brought him in

    Ibra...shford

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years

    Need facer on the case with ibra

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If general consensus was he couldn't play both anyway, surely he's no chance for Burnley.

      SGW v City not appealing anyway.

      Those reports were gold! Miss that.

    Fellaini down

    Pogba to shine in zlatans absense

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years

    Anyone f5'in Ben dinnery's Twitter waiting for updates on ibra?

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No because there's no rush to find out

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn't look good. Looked similar to zoumas.

      1. Zikry
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        exactly my thought

  12. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford!

    Now he is getting a go up front. Plays his whole youth career up front and they stick him on the wing and make him take corners. smh

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Didn't he get a go earlier in the season, for pretty much nowt?

      • soup natsi

        Deja vovren

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Is Missford an option now?

      1. THE REAL RON ⚽
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Nope, he's rather Rash with his finishing.

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Now I need to decide whether to play Ibra with De Roon first sub or play De Roon

      1. THE REAL RON ⚽
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Can't (c) MDR from the bench. 😉

    4. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Zlatan...Tonio Valencia

    5. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra to Gray -4??

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        lol

    6. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Need an emergency scoutcast after tonight.

    7. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone transfer Ibra in before tonight? Anyone take a hit for him?

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Only 80,000 plus

        1. Make Arrows Green Again
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Mental

      2. mr messi
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I got him in early. Looks like I'll be taking a hit to replace him 🙁

    8. drughi
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like I'll be saving my FT before a dgw lol, never happened before

    9. jmcclory123
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Have to feel that Pogba goes for the elaborate thing all too often

    10. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Can barely rely on any United player to play both games with extra time here now..

      DDG one of the few, but who else?

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Darmian

        1. Sleep Talk
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Both? I expect Valencia to be rested for Burnley, but probably back for City. Young will probably also play on Sunday.

          Herrera definitely one for both games.

      2. Licious Lizard
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Herrera?

      3. Zikry
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Herrera

      4. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ander (TC)

      5. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Young

    11. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hit city now for many. Love it as I have still got my FT in tact!

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Me too

    12. Hobolicious
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A) Rashford
      B) Negredo
      C) Benteke

      1. Legomane
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Based on rashfords finishing..not him..

        1. Legomane
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Cue rash winner...

          1. Yank Revolution
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Nostradamus!

            1. Legomane
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Inevitable. Realised as soon as I'd posted...guess the number of opportunities he had he was bound to hit the target eventually!

    13. BrutalLogiC
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      biggest flop this season? Sissoko? Ibe? Bats? Pogba? Baston?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Redmond and Tadic.

      2. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Bats hasn't been given a chance. Sissoko and Ibe are good shouts.

        1. BrutalLogiC
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          well he gets chances every week in training right

      3. Starvaiger

      Things just got a bit less interesting.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        But less of an headache i guess

      2. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Did you get Ibra back in?

        1. andy85wsm

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Early transfers not a good idea this week so no 🙂

      3. THE REAL RON ⚽
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        *fun
        *diverse
        🙂

        Negredo / Benteke (c) is what DGWs are made for! 😛

      4. drughi
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        agree, everyone will be keeping sanchez and lukaku now for example

      5. VS10_
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I was enjoying the divide, now it's just boring.

      6. Darklord_bg
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Noooooo

      7. Ephurion
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Interesting enough for a Let's talk FPL session right now? :O
        Looking forward to it tomorrow ^^

    15. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      *holding back the tears*

      Any chance he makes it for the second game?

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Doesn't look likely

      2. Numb
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        You got him Lawro? Didn't look that bad to me.

        1. Lawrø
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yep, got caught out on an early transfer 🙁

      3. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Just hit him out, no need to panic.

      4. Spike ⚽️
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Only from the stands

    16. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Could be OK for the weekend

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Doubt it

      2. the axolotl
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        i stupidly already got him. HAS to be ok

      3. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Hyperextdended knee needs a lil rest...possible for City Id say.

    17. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone get rashford then?

      1. MTPockets
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Not for Lukaku, no.

      2. Tommo1888
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ibra likely to be out for a while ? Missed the game !

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          The game is still on.

        2. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years

      3. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        As an non Ibra owner and someone who was gonna ignore him anyway it annoys me most as an early Kane owner...
