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.

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

  1. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 years, 7 months ago

    Worth transferring Ibra out for anyone or would you all just bank the transfer and play De Roon?

    Valdes
    Fabio - Valencia - Alonso
    Siggy - Alexis - Zaha - Eriksen
    Kane - Ibra - Benteke

    Bench: Pickf - Davies - De Roon - Bertrand

    1FT 0.5 ITB

    1. Demel

      Ibra to Negredo

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Will negredo get that many points compared to De Roon.. barely any goals in this boro team and il want rid straight away in 35

        I don't have a WC

    2. Old Gregg
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Valdes red flagged too.

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah I know but I'm not going to minus to bring in any GK from boro or palace or united. Don't see the point

      2. Nails on chalkboard
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Fabio may be out, too...

    3. timPgoodwin
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure why so many are endorsing Negredo. I'd stick, play Davies and go 4-4-2

      1. Nails on chalkboard
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, Negredo is kind of meh. And a one-week punt only. Unthinkable for those of us who don't have wildcard anymore, I would say.

  2. Demel
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Does Rojo look to be out for the season?

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Mourinho interview on BT Sport just now

    Mourinho on Rashford

    "He wasn't scoring a goal earlier this season, his mentality kept him going and now he is scoring. I trust him".

    On Ibra and Rojo

    "I don't think they are easy injuries, I will wait for the test results tomorrow".

    Reporter asked so you feel this is potentially positive news and not so serious

    Mourinho "Fairly negative"

    1. DJ1000
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Both gone for gws 34-35! At least

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Surprised if Rojo played again this season.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        scholes reckons ibra is out for the season too

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Wouldn't be surprised with that either, very bad landing but he could get lucky and just miss a few weeks.

  4. Pinky Blinders
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    If no Ibra, I might just completely bypass this DGW and bring in Costa for the run in.

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Costa?! Log off dude.

  5. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Most boring transfer ever?

    Nyom to ...?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years

        1. SuperMane Returns
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          1. Rhodes your boat
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Just joking man yeah that's a good shout

    3. MTPockets
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Bailly/Gibson are my thoughts for McAuley.

    4. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ibra to Kane or Rashford?

      Don't have any United DGWers

      1. Orange Roughy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Kane

    5. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Dr Mourinho says 'fairly negative' .... #ibraoutforseason

      1. Partick Bateman
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I heard "very negative... bad news." May have been "fairly" though.

    6. drfc_matty
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Pickford -
      Valencia , Gibson , chambers - baines pieters

      Erickson , ali , siggy, coutinho - fletcher

      Lukaku , augero , origi

      What moves shall I make
      1ft 1mINB must have good fixtures 35 , WC 36 any help appreaciated

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    7. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Mkhitaryan for DGW ??

      1. UnitedFan
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Not imo

      2. Garlana
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Would love that, he's quality

    8. F4L
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Rashy nailed to the bench now?

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Not at all.

    9. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Well teh Ibra injury releases the position needed for DGW rotation spot.

      Ibra > Negredo/Benteke > Aguero

      1. ViperStripes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        And keep Kane & Lukaku alongside

    10. martyhan
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ibra to someone or play Sane?

    11. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Is Mhky maybe more nailed now with Zlatan out?

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He's their best attacking midfielder...nailed.

        1. FPL Maldini
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          For both games?

          1. Yank Revolution
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Only if he needs a rest, which I dont think he will...but...

            I wouldnt bring him in.

      2. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Nah.

    12. niloh1
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ibra is out??? So rashford is nailed then surely?

    13. TerryVenables
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Brought in both Rojo and Ibrah for a -4. Recommend using my wildcard now instead of GW36?

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        is your name the tinkerman?

      2. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, it'll be a -12 already just to replace them

    14. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Lukaku does have 9 in 11 vs West Ham... 🙂

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        11 in 11

      2. MTPockets
          8 years, 7 months ago

          But the away form... Ah well.

      3. Gangster Panda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Back on the topic of a new chip ideas....a Reverse Transfer Chip would be very popular right now.

        1. F4L
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          double captain chip double captain chip

        2. the snazzy viking
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yep. 10 of them would be ideal

      4. C_G
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        gtg? took a -4 already for this

        Jaku

        Bernardo Gibson Valencia

        Alli Townsend Firmino Siggy

        Lukaku Kane Costa

        Grant Alonso Holgate Carroll

        1. super zlatan
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Nice team

      5. FPL Wisdom
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I took a -8 to get in Gibson, Ibra and De Roon. Do I take another -4 to swap Ibra out again or just play De Roon or Davies?
        Have Zaha and Valencia.

        1. Kuyt Hero
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Why did you get De Roon in for a hit if you were just gonna bench him?

          1. AYLD28
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

          2. OneDennisBergkamp
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            probably for funds

            1. FPL Wisdom
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Funds. just happens to have a DGW.

            2. Kuyt Hero
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              true dat

        2. TLF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Play De Roon

      6. Kuyt Hero
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Bailly or Blind?

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Blind.

        2. A.T
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Blind

        3. super zlatan
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Blind

        4. Garlana
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Bailly is safer, blind for baps.

          1. UnitedFan
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Why is Bailly safer?

        5. Kuyt Hero
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Thanks all

      7. pablo discobar
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I`m pretty set on Captain Lukaku, record v West Ham is great.

        Nyom to Gibson
        Ibra to Benteke

        Leaves just enough to do De Roon (who can`t get in my team this week, first sub though) to Hazard next week.

      8. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says the initial prognosis of the injuries to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo is "fairly negative".

        1. UnitedFan
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          At least Daley ''Baps Monster'' Blind should be nailed now

        2. Vinyl78LP
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Whilst not wishing injury on anyone, its better in FPL world that we know they are properly injured rather than leaving us in limbo on our choices.

        1. Fred54
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Reasonable.

        2. F4L
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

      11. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Is DDG and Blind overkill this week?

        1. DV8R
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yes because I can't see United keeping a clean sheet in either

        2. Garlana
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          No, I'm considering it if rojo is out for a while, already own ddg

      12. Fernando Torres
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Ibra + Walker + Barnes >>> Kane + Gibson/Bailly + Rashford (-8)??

        1. Js31
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          keep Walker

        2. super zlatan
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Keep walker

      16. super zlatan
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Planning on using my FT to bring in Gibson.

        Gives me the following.

        Pickford
        Valencia. Walker. Gibson
        Sanchez. Alli. Siggy. Zaha
        Kane. Lukaku. Benteke(c)

        Subs. Heaton. DeRoon. Baines. Holebas.

        1. super zlatan
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Thoughts?

          Maybe play my BB?

          1. Kuyt Hero
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Leave it as it is, not that great a bench to be bench boosting imo
