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.

    Maybe Pogba is the safe pick now?

        Pogba shouldv'e scored tonight if Fellaini didn't foul in the build up. Also hit one that would've gone in but for good goalkeeping. I would say he is more likely to pick up points than Herrera.

      A) Foster > DDG & de Roon comes in for Ibra
      B) Ibra > Benteke/Negredo/Rashford & play Heaton

          He could be you know. Back against his old club in Liverpool, and who knows how Spurs will turn up after their FA Cup semi-final.

        With the Valdes and Ibra injuries, are any, or all, of these are worth it (i.e. potential -12 hit):

        Valdes and Llorente to any cheap non-Boro GK & Negredo worth it for -8 hit
        Ibra to Kane for -4 hit
