Restored to a five-strong squad, this week’s ScoutCast is still resonating from the shock of Man City’s seven-slice goal pie, served up by Pep at the expense of Stoke City.

That avalanche of goals and points fell into the laps of two of the ScoutCast crew, as Jonty and Andy bask in their post-Pep Wildcard success.

Others weren’t so fortunate, as we tell the tale of an unfortunate 11-point refresh and Az’s 32-point Gameweek misery that has since sparked his own Wildcard activity.

City dominate the community questions driving this 90-minute episode, while we also revisit the Harry Kane debate, fuelled by his latest Wembley misfire.

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

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

    Mornin' folks.

    Despite Bilic playing down Hernandez' injury I am contemplating a hit to dump him. Quick poll please on two possible resultant teams, but it essentially boils down to:-

    a) Silva + Tammy or b) RLC/Carroll + Morata. (Teams below)

    a)

    Foster/Myhill
    Alonso Davies Cedric Suttner Mbemba
    SILVA Sterling Eriksen Ricarlison Carrol
    Kane Jesus TAMMY

    b)

    Foster/Myhill
    Alonso Davies Cedric Suttner Mbemba
    (RLC Carroll*) Sterling Eriksen Ricarlison Carrol
    Kane Jesus MORATA

    *RLC/Carroll rotate well.

    Cheers

      Dump

      1. Art Vandelay
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Cheers

        Any preference on direction. Big 3 up top (b) or more balanced approach (a)

    2. athreya
      9 years, 20 days ago

      B

      1. Art Vandelay
        9 years, 20 days ago

        This is what I am tempted by but means I have to ditch Eriksen next week to get a Liverpool mid.

    3. Demel
      9 years, 20 days ago

      B

    4. Jolly Good
      9 years, 20 days ago

      I had a very similar team - and contemplating very similar decision all week

      In the end decided I want Morata and silva is not worth it if you have jesus and sterling already

      So went with B from the above and then decided to downgrade alonso to upgrade RLC to zaha

      1. Art Vandelay
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Cheers. Do you have a Liverpool mid at the moment? Going three big lads up front means Liverpool kids become tricky.

    5. Squashed
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Dump because hes not playing centre hes push to the sides and thats not his strength. #BilicOUT

      1. Art Vandelay
        9 years, 20 days ago

        That is the frustrating thing about the injury given Carroll is suspended.

  2. vtautr
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Forster Elliot
    Valencia Davies Mee Cedric Mbemba
    Salah Silva Eriksen Brady Loftus
    Lukaku Jesus Joselu

    What would you do?
    A.Jesus -> Morata
    B. Salah -> Coutinho
    C. Other??

    1. kirwy
      9 years, 20 days ago

      I would downgrade Valencia to Jones. Gives you cash for later

    2. Jayv807
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Save your FT

    3. Blue&White85

      Save transfer.

  3. Bushman
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Play Elliot (H - Palace) or Foster (A - Soton)? Thanks

    1. Holmes
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Elliot

    2. TheTinman
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Elliott. St James is going to be absolutely rocking this weekend. CPL won't be able to cope.

      4-0

      1. Holmes
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Luka to Joselu?

    3. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Zaha hat trick incoming....

    4. Bushman
      9 years, 20 days ago

      4-3 to Newcastle then! Cheers

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 20 days ago

        I'll take that 😉

  4. pakornk
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Why are people captaining Kane??

    1. athreya
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Because they have him.

    2. Holmes
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Its fun to get 2x2 from captain every week... 😮

    3. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Player with the highest ceiling. Between him, Lukaku and Jesus for me

    4. drughi
      9 years, 20 days ago

      why not if you have him ?

  5. Red Dagger ✪
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Keep an eye on Duffy's injury. If he is out for a while Hünemeier at 3.9 could be a really good cheap punt given Brighton's solid fixtures....

    1. George James
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Is Duffy confirmed our dagger?

      1. George James
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Out*

        1. Bald Eagle
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          9 years, 20 days ago

          He isn't, coach said he hopes he's gonna train and then decide. I think he was optimistic.

  6. Afghanistanislas
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Play Carroll or Fernandez?

    1. Expected Toulouse
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Fernandez

  7. King Sheep
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Currently have 3 players flagged .... any news on the status of Bavies, Jones & Ramsey?

    1. TheTinman
      9 years, 20 days ago

      I would imagine with a flu Davies should be fit

    2. Holmes
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Approximately 6-7hrs left

    3. Syd.
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Mourhino said Jones should be fit to play this weekend

    4. King Sheep
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Thanks guys, any news on Ramsey?

  8. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Thoughts on this team guys? 2 FTs and 1.0 ITB.

    Fabianski - Elliot
    Kolasinac - Trippier - Yoshida - Mee - Long
    Eriksen - Salah - Silva - Atsu - Carroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Abraham

    Leaning towards Trippier --> Jones.

    Thanks guys!

    1. TheTinman
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Yep would swap Trippier

  9. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Probably doing Alli -> Sterling this week to get this lot - G2G?

    Elliot
    Cedric, Bavies, Yoshida, Naughton
    Silva, Sterling, Choupo
    Kane(v), Lukaku(c), Jesus

    Foster, RLC, Carroll, Mbemba
    Bank 1.5m, 0FT

    1. TheTinman
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Yeah

    2. Expected Toulouse
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Yes sounds good.

  10. TheTinman
    9 years, 20 days ago

    1FT 0.4m itb
    Making a defensive change ahead of gw11 wildcard.

    Davies Bertrand Naughton Martina Long

    I'm either going to do Martina to Yedlin or Davies to anyone 6.2 and below. Spurs have 2 tough games and Davies is injury and rotation risk. What are your thoughts guys?

  11. Meltens
    • Has Moderation Rights
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Trippier or Davies more likely to start?
    Last week I got burned by Davies not showing up, considering going Davies to Trippier for ”security” going forward.

    1. TheTinman
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Seems s backwards move

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Is it though?
        Trippier seems to be getting the PL games. If Jones looks like playing I might keep but if neither starts I’ll have Mbemba not coming in (and only 0.2 ITB).

    2. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Think both will start this weekend.

    3. troj@n
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Spurs wing backs too confusing at the moment.

  12. Tomcooper9
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Chances of Ramsey and Jones starting?

    1. RubberDucky
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Slim and goof imo.

      Still got rid of Ramsey. A punt that didn't pay off.

    2. troj@n
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Jones should definitely start, since he did not start for UCL.

  13. RubberDucky
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Waking up to no Mkhi drop (keep it clean) ahhhhh it's the little things in life!

  14. Expected Toulouse
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Hi all, is my team gtg? 1 Ft, 0.4 itb.
    Elliot
    Azpilcueta Davies Bertrand Jones
    Eriksen Sterling Ritchie
    Kane Lukaku Vardy
    Foster Carroll Mbemba Chalobah

  15. troj@n
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Which 2 to play ?!
    Gross(WHU), zaha(New), RLC(New) & tom caroll(LEI).
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Expected Toulouse

    Captain choices
    A. Kane
    B. Sterling
    C. Silva

    Personally want to go B, but worried about Pep resting him..

    1. Stockport Hatter
      9 years, 20 days ago

      I think he was subbed with this weekend in mind.

    2. Syd.
      9 years, 20 days ago

      He was subbed off early midweek which is a good omen for him starting this weekend

    3. drughi
      9 years, 20 days ago

      A out of those, no lukaku ?

    4. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

  18. Hotdogs for Tea
    9 years, 20 days ago

    I want to do Vardy & Gross to Morata & RLC and it is the exact money, but Morata may rise and if Gross gets a haul tonight he may rise too

    This Friday night game may catch a few out and keep prices down with people missing out on their traditional Saturday morning transfers.

    So tricky ...but I think I will stick with my team and double transfer next game week with an eye on price increases on Saturday/Sunday

  19. pakornk
    9 years, 20 days ago

    1. Naughton, Vardy and Morata
    Or
    2. Bavies, Jesus and Abraham?

    9 years, 20 days ago

    A Davies (LIV)
    B RLC (sot)
    C Carroll (LEI)

    1. Sponge-worthy
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Tough, but I would start Davies.

    2. Bald Eagle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 20 days ago

      A
      Even though I think they'll concede, so for attacking potential.

  24. Sponge-worthy
    9 years, 20 days ago

    So Jones is injured, but still he was on bench, can't be very bad then??

    1. Holmes
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Mourinho said Jones is fine for Huddersfield game

      1. Sponge-worthy
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Really? Good thing.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      9 years, 20 days ago

      he has been flagged for the last 3 weeks but played the full 90 mins each time

      1. Sponge-worthy
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Mourinho this time said that he's injured, I don't if he said anything before.

  27. Sponge-worthy
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Firmino and Ritchie out. Abraham and Sterling in for -4. Should I do it?

    I have Silva, but this transfer would leave me without LIV players.

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Not worth a hit

    2. Lazaretti
      9 years, 20 days ago

      No Firmino good on next GW.

    Thank God it sounds like Jones will be fit for Huddersfield, injuries and rotation worries decimating my team

    So many great premium forwards but if money were no object - who would be your front 3?

    Kane
    Aguero
    Jesus
    Morata
    Lukaku
    Lacazette
    An other?

      At the moment I wont have any of them but since there is so much cash available, 😮

      Probably Kane-Luka-Jesus
