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.

    How's it looking:

    Fabianski // Elliot
    Jones, Davies, Azi, Otamendi // Mbemba
    Carroll, Sterling(c), Silva // Richarlison, Surman
    Vardy, Kane, Lukaku

    1. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Looks good, I'd personally play Elliott over Fab and captain Kaku but not much in it

      1. estheblessed
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Are you thinking Burnley will hold out at City? I can see another mauling! Lukaku might get one I reckon. He's my vice captain. Thanks for feedback.

        1. We Will Klopp you
          9 years, 20 days ago

          No worries, I think they could score another 4, Kaku could also maul Hudds, tbh if I was 100% certain Sterling was starting I'd C him but it's about 55/45 in Kaku's favour for me atm

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

      Would start rich over Carrol

      1. We Will Klopp you
        9 years, 20 days ago

        This too actually, didn't spot Richy on the bench

        1. estheblessed

          Thanks

  2. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Bakayoko likely to play?

  3. The Overthinker
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Views ?
    Elliot
    Luiz - Davies - Yoshida - stones - kolasinac
    Sterling - Alli - eriksen
    Lukaku - Jesus
    Fabianski - gross / Tarroll / quaner

    1. Schliegs
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Start Fab

      1. The Overthinker
        9 years, 20 days ago

        CS points over save points ?

        1. Schliegs
          9 years, 20 days ago

          Zaha and Loftus are back, I can't see a clean sheet for Newcastle.

          I have Fab and Elliot am deathly I'm starting Fab for save points and maybe a CS too.

  4. @fpl_phenom
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Think I’m just gonna roll FT. because I want to give Mhki the Huddersfield game and think most of my team actually has a decent fixture.

    Thoughts?

    Fab
    Kola Davies Jones Naugh
    Salah Mhki Atsu
    Kane Lukaku(C) Jesus(V)
    ———————————
    Elliot Carroll RLC Hune
    £1.2M ITB 1FT

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 20 days ago

      I wanna roll with you

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      9 years, 20 days ago

      I would 100% ditch Mkhi. Ask yourself what you'd potentially do with 2FT next week.

      1. @fpl_phenom
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Possible changes would be to:

        Kolasinac Atsu Mhkitaryan and maybe Davies if he looks to have lost his place...

    3. Kun Tozser
      9 years, 20 days ago

      100% roll it, 2 ft is a strong position

  5. ZakAFC_
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Davies > Jones?

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Neg

  6. OLLY G
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Is Davies expected to play or be dropped when both he and Rose are fully fit?

    1. Ruth_NZ
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Both. 🙂

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 20 days ago

      ^^^ this 🙂

      Personally, I can't see Davies losing his place for PL games.

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        9 years, 20 days ago

        You think Poch is going to prioritise the Premier League over the Champions League ? . Surely Bavies owners want him to be second choice so he starts in the Prem and is benched for the Champions League

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

          I was thinking league and FA cup games for Rose, but perhaps he plays in the PL a week before/after CL fixtures too?

          I don't see it as a big problem. I'm not sure I'd want a wingback playing 3 games in 7 days, anyway. Ok for a CB. People are talking about Davies losing his place to Rose, which I don't think will happen any time soon.

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            9 years, 20 days ago

            That's how he has rotated his full backs in the past .

  7. Shardlow
    9 years, 20 days ago

    In draft, Zappacosta or aurier long term?
    Thanks

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Aurier

  8. Schliegs
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Who would you captain?

    A) Jesus
    B) Kane
    C) Sterl
    D) Haz

    Keen to Captain Sterl or Jesus but I'm a little worried about minutes

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 20 days ago

      A

    2. willl
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Sterling has 50% chance of playing 90 mins in my opinion.

      Jesus significantly lower.

      Tough choice but I'm on Sterling and not really considering Jesus. If I decide not to captain Sterling I'd feel safer captaining Kane than Jesus.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        9 years, 20 days ago

        They've proven time and time again you don't need 90 to score well - Jesus only got 62 mins vs Stoke!

      2. @fpl_phenom
        9 years, 20 days ago

        What are you basing “significantly lower” on??

        1. willl
          9 years, 20 days ago

          The fact that he has only completed 90 mins once this season.

      3. bench boost for every gamew…
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Sane the one who played 90 min in both Stoke and Napoli game, that could be a key to this. My prediction is the same starting line up with Sane the one who either subbed of 60 for Kun or making way for Kun in starting line up.

  9. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Captain:
    A) Kane
    B) Jesus

    Tough really. If I knew Jesus will play 90 min, easy choice. He will probably get 60-70 minutes tho.

    Whats your choice? Got only 1 attacking player from City. Does that lean more towards one of the alternatives?

  10. DAZZ
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Give me giroud over lacazette any day, better striker IMO.

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

      France certainly seem to think so, too

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Lacazette essential. I miss Random Name.

      1. DAZZ
        9 years, 20 days ago

        For a big man giroud is superb, would love him at Liverpool but wouldnt fit in to how we play

      2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        9 years, 20 days ago

        I was thinking that earlier. He was full of sh*t

    3. Totti
      9 years, 20 days ago

      totally agree

  11. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Just going to put this out there... Milivojevic has dropped to 4.6m. On pens, might be a nice alternative to RLC.

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

      It's out there and the people say Nay! Fancy Zaha to take over pens as part of his new striker role

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

        That wasn't the case in pre-season when Zaha was fit 🙂

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

        agreed, Zaha changed palace.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 20 days ago

      I started the season with him expecting a pen here and there. How wrong was I.

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

        Thanks... you've contributed to him dropping to 4.6m 🙂

    3. @fpl_phenom
      9 years, 20 days ago

      RLC plays further forward... or did anyway...

  12. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Correct order?
    1. TC (LEI) play
    2. RLC (new) bench 1
    3. DCL (ARS) bench 2

    1FT 0.0ITB
    G2G(save) or any suggestions? A little part of me is tempted to bring Kak back in...

    Elliot
    Azpilicueta Davies Stones Wimmer
    Hazard(c) Eriksen Sterling ____
    Kane Jesus(v)

    (Pope ____ ____ Ward)

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

      Ive got 1 and 3, too, don't have a clue. Might take a hit to ship out Fellaini and play whoever I buy.

    2. Ha.

      Sort your captain out.

      1. Flynny

        Nice....im going kane over hazard for captain....

      2. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Who'd you prefer - Jesus?

  13. Dickie1898
    9 years, 20 days ago

    likelihood of an otamendi rise tonight?

    1. Totti
      9 years, 20 days ago

      negligible
      far from rising i think

  14. Ajax Down Trees
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Foster - Elliot
    Davies - Jones - Cedric - Mee - Mbemba
    Eriksen - Sterling - Silva - Choupo - Carroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Abraham

    2 Ft’s, 2.7 in bank, what to do?

    Thought about bringing in Aguero for Kane, or Mbemba to a 4.5 or maybe ship Davies now rose is edging nearer but think he’ll play this week at least.

  15. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Mkhi > Silva confirmed to go along with Alli > Sterling earlier in the week.

    As I’ve said before I have never had any success with any City player not called Kun. Silva and Sterling owners be prepared for an assist combined from both until Christmas.

    1. UnitedFan
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Staying away from Jesus? Cheers.

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

        Yup. Kun in next week.

        1. UnitedFan
          9 years, 20 days ago

          😎

          1. Totti
            9 years, 20 days ago

            you should keep jesus till the end os the season then 🙂

    2. Ha.
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Aguero is pretty good, no?

  16. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Jesus or Sterling for the C?

    1. Geezer
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Sterling because of the Kun factor

  17. Geezer
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Is my team gtg?
    Elliot (Pope)
    Naughton Otamendi Alonso Bavies (Ward)
    Fabregas Silva Choupo (Carroll) (RLC)
    Lukaku(C) Jesus Kane

    1FT, 0,0 m itb

    1. Totti
      9 years, 20 days ago

      yes solid 🙂
      good luck

      1. Geezer

    Start fabianski or Elliot is gonna be question of the week?

    1. Brayden29
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Leaning Fabianski currently but after the same question

    2. Geezer
      9 years, 20 days ago

      I would start Fabianski

    3. Totti
      9 years, 20 days ago

      fab

    4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Fabs if I had him

  19. Brayden29
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Who to play- Fabianski or Elliot?
    Best 4.5 DEF?
    If you own Gross, are you playing him?

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

    2 questions

    1 If Davies out is Otamendi best replacement ?

    2 If Martial plays does this make Lukaku a better captaincy option?

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 20 days ago

      No
      Yes

    2. Totti
      9 years, 20 days ago

      1) yes
      2) may be

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

    Chances of Wimmer being dropped this weekend?

    My back line is Alonso / Jones* / Mee / Wimmer / Mbemba. Very real chance only two end up playing. Ideally wouldn't have Mee starting vs. City.

    Should I use my second FT on Wimmer > [Max 5.2m DEF]? If yes, who?

    1. Ruth_NZ
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Daniels or Dann if you think Wimmer lost his place. But I'm not sure he has.

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      9 years, 20 days ago

      As mee will come in i think using it will be smart. Ruth mentioned two players that are advisable, Maguire could be worth a try if you dont fancy Daniels or Dann

  22. TheTwelfthMan
    9 years, 20 days ago

    I know it's almost blasphemous around these parts, but is it time we look past Kane? I explore why in my article...

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 20 days ago

      7.5 cheaper*

      1. TheTwelfthMan
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Dodgy math doing me in again, but the point is Jones has outscored Kane so far - for a price almost 2.5 times more.

    5. GENERATION X
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Perfectly valid reasoning. My only theory is that as with a fit Aguero he and Kane are the two players we are truly terrified can run amok in any given game and get 3 plus goals. Sanchez had it last year and obviously guys like RVP and Bale in the past.

      1. TheTwelfthMan
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Indeed, that's what's been keeping him in so many teams till now. But I can't see him do much of that in the next 4 games, which is what makes a downgrade for the next 4 sensible imo.

    6. the snazzy viking
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Great article 😉

    7. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Another factor to take into account is that Kane is by far the best captaincy option for gw11, that can be used as an ultimatum, if he blanks in that then he 100% goes for Kaku, just in time for Castle

      1. Mini Mane Mo
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Kane playing at home.

  23. Super Silva

      I personally think Aguero may not start and will come on late in game and would suggest having Lukaku v Huddersfield and reconsider next week getting Aguero

      1. Dobswell55
        9 years, 20 days ago

        I think you might be right. I'll make my decision based on Pep Conference tomorrow.

  28. Blue Moon Rising

    Lads couple questions

    Some think Sterling will be rested, is this the case? I'm planning on bringing him in 2moro..

    Also is Salah likely to drop tonight??

    Hi guys, on WC and torn on a few things

    In all options I have Jesus;
    A) Morata, Ritchie, Sterling and Stones
    B) Abraham, Hazard, Sterling and Stones
    C) Aguero, Ritchie, Sterling and Clark
    D) Aguero, Ritchie, Richarlison and Stones

    Thanks!

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

      I like B

    2. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Dont use Clark - he was on the bench last match. I'm not convinced about Ritchie either. Of those, I would say C but with different options to Clark and Ritchie, or B.

    3. Gubbins94.
      9 years, 20 days ago

      B was my initial choice. Cheers guys.
