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.

    Will we hear from Pep before deadline??

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Yes pressers should be mid-day

    2. Magic Bean
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Yeah, tomorrow

    Play Atsu or RLC?

    1. jia you
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Atsu at home and he has been looking sharp

    2. Rik Waller
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Atsu. RLC not assured of start. Could bring you a 10 min 1 pointer

  3. LOS ROJOS
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Hey Guys!

    Elliot
    Jones - Bavies - Naughton
    Salah - Silva - Alli - Atsu
    Morata - Jesus - Vardy

    Dunk - Mbemba - Brady - Foster - 1.4 ITB.

    Looking to move out Alli to either Sterling or Hazard.
    OR should I look to upgrade my defence... maybe Dunk -> Otamendi?
    This would be a -4 hit.

    Greatful for any advice!

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Alli to Haz

  4. Foozeball

    Sorry bottomed... Brady to:

    A) Zaha (new WHU tot EVE STK bri)
    B) Choupu-Moting (BOU wat LEI bri cry LIV)

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      9 years, 20 days ago

      A for me

    2. jia you
      9 years, 20 days ago

      C) Gross or D) Richarlison for me 😉

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 20 days ago

      B and use cash elsewhere.. RLC is a decent option for CRP offensively

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

      B) Better stats (although Zaha hasn't played much) + fixtures, could pan out very well

  7. FC Hakkebøf
    9 years, 20 days ago

    (RP - bottomed)

    What to do with this lot? Im clueless at this point.

    Elliot (Krul)
    Davies Jones Naughton (TAA** Mbemba**)
    Eriksen Salah Miki Caroll (RLC)
    Kane Jesus (C) Lacazette

    ** Not starting atm

    1 ft 0.0 itb

    A) which transfer(s) should I make? Should I save ft?
    B) Who to captain?
    C) Favourite front trio long term?

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

      A) Mkhi to Sterling
      B) Jesus/Sterling
      C) Kane Kun/Kaku vardy, better balance in team

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Contenplating a bold move

        Lacazette + eriksen to Aguero + sterling? What do you think? Leaves me with enough cash to do TAA to moreno next week

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

          I'd want Mkhi out and I'm not sure about Eriksen out for a hit. But at present Sterling is a sideways move from Eriksen, probably better atm due to fixtures and Aguero is an upgrade on Laca for the long term. Risky but could pay off.

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        9 years, 20 days ago

        And thanks for always replying.. your a good lad

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

          No worries mate

    2. justlikehoney
      9 years, 20 days ago

      I've got a similar team and I'm considering going Lacazette > Morata. Although with Jones and Davies both flagged and TAA and Mbemba not playing it might be worth transferring one of those out if there's some indication that one of them is unlikely to start so that you can field three defenders.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        9 years, 20 days ago

        That why im waiting for pressers.. dont mind playing miki this week

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Do you think TAA will get his spot back.though? He surely deserves it

  8. Trovsmash
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Draft help needed.

    A. Pedro
    B. Stanislas

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Pedro

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

      Pedro, greater upside

  9. ScotDougie
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Lukaku about to drop in price ! Shocked so many are selling him

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

      Literally begging to get bitten

      1. The Big Fella
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Not really. If lots sell him then his ownership will drop and that's what is keeping him dangerous.

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

          He has Hudds next, there is a strong likelihood sellers will be bitten, especially as they are punting on Aguero most likely who is yet to get a minute thus far

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        9 years, 20 days ago

        There's better options out there...!

    2. ScotDougie
      9 years, 20 days ago

      I don’t own him and to be honest just posted this to try and get the price drop over the line , still a little shocked all the same

  10. mcrayeps

    Elliot (Foster)
    Otamendi / Davies / Jones (Mee / Long)
    Silva / Sterling(C) / Eriksen / Richarlison (Caroll)
    Kane / Lukaku / Joselu
    1 wc 0.9itb

    A) GTG
    B) Sterling / Lukaku cap?
    C) Any suggestions?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      9 years, 20 days ago

      If Davies is out may need to sort Long out

      1. mcrayeps
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Eyeing Davies out for Daniels or Bellerin/Kolasinac or Bertrand or even D.Luiz

        Will take the decision after this GW

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

      Lukaku for me, 55/45 in his favour, flat track bully who I expect will haul, also the focal point of his side, unlike Sterling

    3. Expected Toulouse
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Gtg. Lukaku captain.

    4. jia you
      9 years, 20 days ago

      A) Yes
      B) Lukaku
      C) Long to a playing defender

    is he unhealthy.. whats going on? I should've sticked with Trippier on my w/c

      11.8 still crazy expensive 🙁

    8. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Another day to tinker and gather the last piece of information.. Glad l I kept my patience

    9. livingbeetroot
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Ugh, I was going to save my FT this week but all the prediction sites said Mkhitaryan would drop tonight, this and his recent poor performances/reports of him being tired made me panic at the last minute and as I couldn't choose between Richarlison, Sterling and Choupo-Moting so I went for Delph to spite myself! I'd scheduled dropping him and Daniels next week for Moreno and Salah.

      1. ScotDougie
        9 years, 20 days ago

        So you sold Mkyhitarian v Huddersfield for Fabian Delph nice

        1. livingbeetroot
          9 years, 20 days ago

          Yep. Unplanned but Mkhitaryan has been poor for a few weeks now and there's talk even of him being dropped so it might not hurt me. I'd been eyeing up Delph for a while he's averaging 4.7 points per match.

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

        Dude, couldn't you have panicked a little better?... Delph? I mean come on, please tell me you're joking

        1. I Member
          9 years, 20 days ago

          He must be joking. Panic picking Delph instead of one of the three players he was deciding between 😆

        2. livingbeetroot
          9 years, 20 days ago

          wish I was, but he's outscored Mkhitaryan the past 3 weeks and it's money in the bank ahead of a decent gameweek for me otherwise.

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

            He plays left back though, Mkhi is a cam playing Huddersfield. I guess on the plus side as you said it gives you a lot of money in the bank

            1. livingbeetroot
              9 years, 20 days ago

              left wing back, he's going to spend very little of the game in his own half. I'm a little surprised he hasn't had more of a bandwagon. I don't like Sterling, my head said buy him at 7.8 but I couldn't then so I certainly can't now. Not convinced by Richarlison or Choupo-Moting yet, and don't want to join the template. Everyone seems to want RLC who has fewer points from more games in a lesser side.

              1. fedolefan
                9 years, 20 days ago

                Never realized Delph is 4.5m. It does take up a City slot though.

        3. Squashed

      Who's buying Sane over Sterling and Silva?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        9 years, 20 days ago

        Maybe they have both already. 😀

    13. rocky7st
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Perfect can enjoy Mhki points this week and sell before he drops to Ric whose fixtures turn

    14. Freddo
      9 years, 20 days ago

      I bet loads don't even know the deadline is today and the transfer activity will pick up today.

      The fantasy accounts strangely didn't broadcast it much.

    15. Rash

      Nice profit on sané thanks

    16. livingbeetroot
      9 years, 19 days ago

      Mkhitaryan survived again!

  17. steven8991
    9 years, 20 days ago

    not having Lukaku is scary..
    should I do Kane to Lukaku?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 20 days ago

      No way

    2. yakirh
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Pretty sideways move now IMO
      Liverpool defence is not great

  18. The King
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Who to captain...

    A) Lukaku
    B) Jesus
    C) Morata

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 20 days ago

      A or C

    2. jia you
      9 years, 20 days ago

      You have the order perfect imo!

    3. Nigawan

  19. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Good to go?

    Hart
    Davies / Cedric / Naughton
    Salah / Sterling (vc) / Ritchie / Richarlison
    Kane / Lukaku (c) / Morata

    Elliot / Carroll / Mee / Long

    1ft, 0.1 itb, WC available

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Only 1 man city asset? Bold.. but makes.sense as rotation is a headache for owners..

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        9 years, 20 days ago

        I wouldn't say it bold. I just don't know where to fit another in. What would you suggest?

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          9 years, 20 days ago

          Lukaku to Aguero ... next week 😀

          1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
            9 years, 20 days ago

            Very likely. Kane is on his last legs too. I've had him since the start but may lose him on WC.

    2. Magic Bean
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Yeah

    3. jia you
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Haha Dingo, how many times over a 24hr period do you post a GTG team post?

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        9 years, 20 days ago

        This is the second time.

        1. jia you
          9 years, 20 days ago

          I just seem to see your team a lot this week for some reason! But it's looking good, nice to be able to save a FT! GL!

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

        Nothing wrong with wanting your team to be extra-prepared for the gw to come @Mei You Shagua 😉

    4. NATSTER
      9 years, 20 days ago

      No major concern. Good chance to save FT.

    5. Positive vibes
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Yes, good team.

    6. Squashed
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Not too bad only downside is 1 city asset. Watford always scores away. Ritchie is good but he has less involvement in set pieces sharing with jonjo. But you are good to go.

  20. Magic Bean
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Lukaku might drop before he plays, gonna be tight

  21. VardysParty
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Captain Aguero, Morata or Sterling? Think Aguero might be a little too risky and Morata would be the safe option

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Morata for sure

    2. The Big Fella
      9 years, 20 days ago

      If I had Morata, I'd go with him out of those 3

  22. FC Hakkebøf
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Depending on the press conference.. is Laca + Eriksen to Sterling and Aguero a bad idea?

    I know Eriksen is the point leader atm but I cant help but feel that it s only temporary. A lot ofther cheaper explosive options ie. Sterling, Salah

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      9 years, 20 days ago

      I wouldn't be losing Eriksen if i had him.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Headache.. but really want Kun.. could loose Davies instead? For a 4'5 option perhaps

      If pep says something like “Aguero is ready” (as if), then I’d do that.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Yeah he is prolly just gonna cloud it even more

  23. jia you
    9 years, 20 days ago

    What percentage of the 5m+ players will miss the Fri night deadline, 50% or more?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Hopefully 80%

      1. jia you
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Yeah, but most will prob get lucky with captain picks & autosubs anyway!

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 20 days ago

      35%

    3. Demel
      9 years, 20 days ago

      A lot. Kane as captain to be the default pick from the previous week?

  24. The King
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Got this team for -4, how do I look?

    Elliot
    Jones - Azpilicueta - Cedric - Simpson
    Silva - Coutinho - Richie
    Lukaku(c) - Morata - Jesus

    Foster, Ward, Carrol, RLC

    1. OPTA FPL
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Kaku to Kun?

    2. yakirh
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Looks good
      GL

    3. Demel
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Not a fan of Richie but gtg.

    4. Squashed
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Start carrol over simpson

  25. OPTA FPL
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Kaki to Kun -4, yes or no?

    1. OPTA FPL
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Kaku

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

      No, Kun isn't even certain to start and Kaku has Huddersfield

      1. OPTA FPL
        9 years, 20 days ago

        I think Hudderfield are solid, i like their football. Game vs Spurs was an accident

        1. OPTA FPL
          9 years, 20 days ago

          At home

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

            But they won't/haven't parked the bus thus far, players such as Martial & Mata will open up that defence and create chances for Kaku, a brace or more is not unrealistic

    3. yakirh
      9 years, 20 days ago

      No
      Do it next week for free

    4. Demel
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Next week for free.

  26. JasonG123
    9 years, 20 days ago

    1FT, 0m ITB.

    Elliot (Pope)
    Davies Otamendi Simpson (Ward Hunemeier)
    Sterling Coutinho Hazard Richarlison (T.Carroll)
    Kane Lukaku Joselu

    Which move?
    (A) Davies out
    (B) Kun/Jesus in
    (C) Save FT

    1. Demel
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Perhaps A this week and B next week.

  27. Demel
    9 years, 20 days ago

    I am still struggling to decide who to captain. Kun or Kane?

    Elliott
    Ake - Jones - Alonso
    Silva - Eriksen - Richarlison - Zaha
    Aguero - Kane - Vardy

    1. OPTA FPL
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Silva, Sir

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

        I'd go with Silva too of those

    2. Magic Bean
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Kane over Aguero for me

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

    I think I've talked myself into getting Antonio and Gabbi for -4. Both nice fixtures next 3 and I have exact money if I sell Vardy

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Even if Gabbiadini score three hatricks in a row he wouldn't make it back in my team.

    2. OPTA FPL
      9 years, 20 days ago

      What? Gabby?

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

        No Gabbi. Gabby is an oxygen thief at Villa who I wish would retire

    3. GuyIncognito
      9 years, 20 days ago

      That seems like complete madness to me.

  29. Magic Bean
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Already made my decision with my captain but would like to see what you lot think.

    A) Lukaku
    B) Sterling

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      9 years, 20 days ago

      A

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

      I sold Lukaku on WC last week and many ML rivals have so guaranteed to explode
