It seems that every Fantasy Football manager in the land is seeking counsel.

Sergio Aguero’s 20-points has caused joy and consternation – mainly the latter – and we’re all in need of reassurance and solutions. 

The ScoutCast crew are no different.

Granville, Jonty, Andy and Az join me in searching for answers, thankful for the opportunity to bounce ideas and opinion. 

Contrary to popular thinking, among the noise and chatter, we do arrive at a tentative conclusion.

All but one of us are willing to bend to Sergio’s surge in points and popularity or fall for Pep’s potential plot. We’re abstaining on the Aguero option for now and, over this 90 minutes, we’ll tell you just why.

Aguero dominates, but we have ample time to entertain other community questions, discussing Harry Kane’s latest failings, the premium defenders that warrant our trust and our cash, while Jonty is itching to take us through his handpicked bonus magnet XI. 

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

    Hi,
    Can everyone who knows Quaner sell me. He is injured.
    Thank you!

    (NEED HIM TO BE 4.4 FOR CHRIST'S SAKE)

    1. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      You want us to sell you if we know Quaner?

      1. mbglo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I'm going to bed...

      2. Max City
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Who knows

  2. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Jesus brief PL career... in 974 minutes: 11 goals, 4 assists. Rampant.

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

      don't like seeing him on the wing though. Vardy could match him at 1mil cheaper

      1. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Have them both, just trying to justify not doing a Jesus > Kun transfer 🙂

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah I agree with this, if I wasn't on my wildcard I'd stick to whichever player I had between the two.

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

          I wouldn't do that personally. I'm looking to get them both in soon if they can continue their goalscoring run.

      2. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        2 M cheaper

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

          yep, 2mil my bad. Makes the decision even tougher

        2. That Was Easy!
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Trig, would you move from Jesus > Kun for free given that you'd forgo getting Kolasinac in a 4-3-3, and would have to settle on playing a -4.9 defender each week in that formation?

      3. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years

        2.0*

    Captain KDB here,anyone whit me?

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

      too deep

    2. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No, she back in the queen vic

    3. Don Van Vliet
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Brave.

    4. Max City
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Different

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

    All I ask for this week is that Elliot and Mbemba get me a double clean sheet. Would be epic

    1. G-Whizz

      Clean sheet odds here http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/16540102 🙂

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

        yep, your post has made me a tad less optimistic 😐

          • Has Moderation Rights

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years

          I'm playing Clark and Elliot if it makes you feel any better 🙂

  5. SenjorBob
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Elliott
    Ward-Clark-Naughton
    Eriksen-Salah-D.Silva-Mkhitaryan-Carroll
    Aguero(c)-Lukaku

    (Foster, Cedric, Hegazi, Ayew)

    on a wildcard. although i fell i've invested too much into my midfield and not into my defence...
    Need some inspiration

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I wouod agree with that. Maybe you shouod turn someone into Ritchie or Ramsey. Kolasniac and Ritchie/Ramsey in for Mkhi and Hegazi

    2. Max City
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'm not too impressed with nowadays midfielders

  6. Orion
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    What do you all say about this team...
    Elliot (Foster)
    Jones Bavies Mendy Alonso (Mbemba)
    Gross D. Silva Mkhi (T. Carroll Richarlison)
    J. Ayew Aguero Kane
    I would appreciate any advise... Cheers

    6. Yozzer

    7. ACmonster
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Nice team mate.

      Intrigued to know how you afforded it. TV ~110?

    9. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years

  10. All Bäcks
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    A) Eriksen and Atsu
    B) D. Silva and Richarlison +£0.3

    1. Orion
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A

      1. All Bäcks
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Even if you had Kane and no Silva = No City?

    2. PL Ball
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Probably A.

    3. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Silva Ritchie/Atsu.

  11. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I believe the calling has come for my unused sub. Timing seems right.

    After that convincing Cup performance, would Woy play him this weekend?

  12. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Where is my quadruple (C) for Kane this week ?

  13. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    So I have to reluctantly drop Eriksen on my WC to afford the big 3 up front. Do I replace him with

    A) David Silva
    or
    B) Mkhitaryan

    1. cuervos
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      b

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        A. Utd tough fixtures coming up, complete with bus parking

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks. Yeah, Silva was my first instinct, but I can't argue with Mkhitaryan's points even after average performances.

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

      Silva

    3. All Bäcks
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      B

    4. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks all.

  14. cuervos
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    What is the best Burnley defender?
    a) Mee
    b) Ward
    c) Tarkowski

    1. skeyrd
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'm liking Tarkowski or Ward, Ward gets in a few crosses so does decently on baps. tarkowski just looks like a beast who could get on the end of a few set pieces. id only go for mee if he drops to 4.4

    2. All Bäcks
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Undecided about this aswell. Think I will end up getting Mee even if he doesn't drop. Like the way he gets on the end of their set pieces.

    3. Max City
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Why would you need a Burnley's def? Good fixtures?

  15. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Wishlist for tonight

    Aguero rise from 80% Like KDB last night

    Falls for Firmino, Sutner. Dunk and Mee

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Those falls, would love it.

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Same wishlist, but I really can't see Mee dropping, he's been at -98 for ages.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Wont be able to buy him unless he falls, dont want buy any potential droppers

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Same - I'm just not very optimistic about his prospects of dropping before Saturday.

          1. badgerboy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Mee with a good fixture this week. Defenders loosing ownership tending to be downgrades for City assests, and Luiz.

  16. Gríma Wormtongue
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Is going without Chelsea cover, Lukaku and Davies foolish?

    0.0 ITB Wilcard 4-3-3

    Elliot
    Jones / Ottamendi / Mee / Monreal

      Who's A.King?

      1. VFORVANDETA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Leicester midfielder.

      2. PL Ball
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Nevermind.
        Decent team.

  17. PL Ball
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    A) Willian ==> Ramsey (-4)
    B) Keep Willian

    C) Someone else? Got 7.9 to worth with.. Got Ritchie already. Maybe Sterling? Antonio?

    1. Gríma Wormtongue
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      not for a -4. Keep

  18. Max City
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Fabianski
    Jones Lascelles Davies TAA
    Salah Silva Carroll
    Kane Aguero Jesus

    Elliott Cresswell Doucoure Chuopo

    Order of the bench is OK?

    1. thunder_mike
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah looks good

    2. VFORVANDETA

      Gtg.

  19. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Which is better?
    A) Bellerin+Eriksen
    B) Cedric+Hazard

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      A

    3. thunder_mike

      A

    4. PL Ball
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Too early for Hazard i guess..

    5. Peteski29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A

  20. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    If on a wildcard, and you knew Lukaku was going to fall in the first set of price changes following the deadline would you still buy him or take a cheeky punt on Lacazette, and get Lukaku back for Palace after the price drop

    1. Flaming Flamingo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A transfer is far more valuable than avoiding a .1 drop imo

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        This ^^
        Mark tired it on his WC and it didn't work out. Waste of a transfer too besides Lacazette has Brighton at home after WBA would be tough to remove before this game

    2. FPLHaggis
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'd keep Lukaku in that scenario

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Mind you if Lacazette did well it could actually save a transfer

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Only if you thought Lacazette would score at least 5 points more.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Cant say I am over,y confident, it is Wba after all

        1. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          gambling on laca as he has scored in both home games and should have ozil back for potential assists. gee even brighton put 3 past wba they aint so clever away. key is to score early so they have to come out. i can see laca becoming morata as an exit plan if it goes tits up

  21. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Subs etc look right? Think I'm done 2FT -4

    Elliot
    Kolasinac Davies Jones
    Salah Mkhitaryan Atsu RLC
    Aguero(C) Kane(VC) Lukaku

    Foster Carroll Mbemba Hegazi

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years

      Yeah.Gtg.

    2. Flaming Flamingo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'd play Carroll over RLC myself

      1. Legomané

        Second that

    4. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Good team

  22. AndyCook
      8 years, 2 months ago

      In a draft league is it worth swapping Mounie to Wood, King, Abraham or Joselu?
      Also Zaha to Ritchie?

      1. VFORVANDETA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yes.I would go for Wood and Ritchie.

      2. skeyrd
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I like Wood best as an option out of those 4. zaha to ritchie might depend on zaha's expected return date...if you can afford to stach him i would keep for the upside. great h2h drraft player . if zaha is out for another 3 gameweeks, going for ritchie seems the move

    • Athletic Nasherbo

      What to do here folks. 1FT 0.5ITB

      Elliot

      1. thunder_mike
        • 12 Years

        Bertrand > Jones

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          3 United

          1. thunder_mike
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Ah yeah, maybe a Burnley defender or Swansea

            1. Athletic Nasherbo
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Was thinking Swansea in all honesty. Mawson as differential but only got clean sheets away so far and more home games in next 5

        • 11 Years

        Play TC ahead of Bertrand maybe and roll a transfer

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah that's an option but no city and playing Atsu and Carroll = red arrows

      Double up on Newcastle this week (Elliot and Mbemba) or play a Southampton player (Forster or Cedric)?

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Elliot & Clark here, benching Cedric, can't see a return

        1. FPLHaggis
          • 11 Years

          Double Newcastle I'd say

      2. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years

        Newcastle x 2

      3. VFORVANDETA
        • 9 Years

        Double.

        Go for the double up

      5. Max City

        I have Elliott and Lascelles myself

    • FPLHaggis
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Is this the week that the Mee-Brady combo pays off?

      Please 🙂

      1. VFORVANDETA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe.

      2. Francescoli
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        looks good this week

      3. FPLHaggis
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I still can't believe Mee's miss vs WBA

    • MFPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I have 2FT with 1.9mITB, with obvious changes needing to be made. What should I do with my team? (WC also available)

      De Gea (Elliot)
      Dawson Stephens Naughton (Lowe Long)
      Salah Silva Pogba Atsu (Carroll)
      Kane Lukaku Gabbiadini

      Thanks in advance!

        8 years, 2 months ago

        Missed price rises but I'll still Wildcard

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Actually no Pogba to Mkhitaryan and Stephens to Davies. Then if you have enough money replace Gabbiadini

      2. FPLHaggis
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Pogba & Gabbi > Kun & x

      With elliot in goal, how would you rank these 4 for this GW (playing then bench order) (number from 1 to 4)

      My WC team \o/

      Fabianski
      Kola Davies Jones Naughton
      Salah Mhki Atsu
      Aguero(C) Kane Lukaku

      Elliot Carroll RLC Hunemeier

      Have I got the correct £4.5M mids?

      Anything you would chahge?

        Looks great - can't believe I'm 0.7 off that squad..need to start making some hastier transfers to catch some rises...

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I was lucky to have most of the rising players already in like Salah Erik Mhki Lukaku , it is interesting that your £0.7M off! Squad value is important to monitor.

    • Ghost Gooner

      Silva to Brady/Ritchie
      Monreal to Davies
      Vardy to Morata

      If there is enough money to turn Otamendi to Kola then that would be ace
