The ScoutCast – Episode 237 – Catnap

Pep sunk his teeth into our Gameweeks, while an old moggy took a chunk out of my partner’s arm, depriving me of my appearance on this week’s ScoutCast. I’m not sure which was more painful.

At the mercy of the local A&E, Jonty, Andy and Az became my other emergency service as they stepped up on this latest episode.

Inevitably, Guardiola’s Man City teamsheet dominates your questions and the ensuing chatter. Elsewhere the boys re-appraise Kane after his Wembley haul, revisit Liverpool with their fixtures about to swing and consider whether the heavy-hitting midfielders are poised for a renaissance ahead of Gameweek 10.

As far as I know, I’ve edited out all the “pussy” jokes.

    Have Kane, Aguero and Morata. But feel like Richarlison as (C) - thoughts?

  2. Patty
    • 9 Years

    Chance of the following players starting?
    A. Kane
    B. Jesus
    C. Holding
    D. Bavies
    E. Sterling

  3. Lecky Legs FC

    I will have to rip my WC team again if Kane is out on Saturday.

  4. Ëð

    Aguero, Salah or Richarlison for the (c)?

    1. Meinhoff
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Salah, the safest choice

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero for me

      1. Ëð
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Just a bit concerned about his minutes?

    3. Musicholic

      Liverpool is generally shit against small teams. And I really don't trust that team, safe bet is Aguero is any case cause he is playing against a weakened WBA side.

      1. Ëð
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I'm just a bit concerned about how long he's likely to play for, if he starts at all

  5. Musicholic

    Sterling > Sanchez for -4 (one week punt?). I might captain him over Salah, if I make the move

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Many WBA are injury.. Sterling may well start

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        or... because they have so many injuries Pep will think he can get away with fielding a weakened team.

        1. Musicholic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I don't think he would go with that mindset. He would want to thrash everyone lol.

      2. Musicholic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Got Aguero and Silva as well. Still shouldn't?

        1. Gobigorgohome
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I wont still.. i have Jesus.. Silva and Sterling

  6. Pranav Santhosh

    Kane confirmed minor hamstring injury suffered last week after Liverpool game. Hope he doesn't play tomorrow but think he will

    1. Pranav Santhosh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Minor strain to left hamstring*

    2. Make Arrows Green Again
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He might play with an injection and miss the next one. Which doesn't really help us.

  7. Tim Canterbury
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Will be at least 2 weeks then basically

  8. Captain Vantastic™
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Jones cs locked in.

  9. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years

    Im on a wildcard I don’t know what to do!! I just think Aguero might not be worth it considering how expensive he is. He wont play this weekend, and hes always going to be a rotation risk.

    1. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Do you feel lucky punk (inner Dirty Harry)

    2. Musicholic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero will play 100%. I don't know how you even thought he wouldn't lol.

      1. Saka Rice
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        why do you think he will play? Aguero played 120 min mid week, hell have to play champions league next mid week as well because its vs Napoli, and they play Arsenal next week so hell definitely play. This surely means he will probably get rested this gameweek

        1. Meltens
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Jesus plays a lot in CL though.

    3. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      There is no way we can know that he won't play.
      In my mind he either gets starts and gets 65 min or gets benched and comes in for Jesus at roughly 56th minute 🙂

      But that's the point though, no one can know what Pep thinks.
      If Kun plays, Kun scores. Simples.

    Pochettino just confirmed Kane out tomorrow

    1. Meinhoff
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wow

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      That's this site fooked for the rest of the day then with regards to any other conversations

    3. Gobigorgohome

      What

  11. El Matador
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Lads question for you

    I made 2 transfers this week for -4. If i now decide to play the free hit chip will my team revert back to the one with the transfers I made before I played the chip or to my team in GW9?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Week 9 team

    2. John t penguin
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      original team and you lose the hit
      otherwise you could just make unlimited transfers then play chip and have a new team

    3. Sahil Yadav
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      The team before transfers i think

    4. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers lads

  12. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    RMWCT - draft N+x:

    Ryan - Elliott
    Otamendi - Jones - Lascelles - Mee - Dunk
    Salah - Silva- San(c)hez - Richarlison - Surman
    Kane* - Morata - CalwertLewin

    Could go Jesus over Morata, but not keen on risk when Kane might be out.
    Plan is Sanchez to Eriksen next GW for Palace at home.

  13. Nedvěd11
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Elliot,

    Otamendi, Jones, Lascelles
    Richarlison, Silva, Eriksen, Ramsey, Atsu,
    Kane, Aguero

    Sub: Fabianski, Cresswell, Abraham & Naughton.

    Play free hit...?

  14. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    No flag yet. FPL towers are in denial.

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Would be a yellow (75%) one soon

  15. Lecky Legs FC
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Kane is out for tomorrow not sure if I should take him out of my WC team will want him back for Palace next Saturday if fit.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      he's not out, he's being assessed. If you're on a WC and don't have cash tied up though I probably would leave out and make sure you're able to get him back.

      1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        He is out!

      2. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah I'll make sure I have a way to get him back next GW backing to the drawing board for us Wildcarders

    2. Sahil Yadav
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      If it's for a week then keep him and bench him.

      Otherwise go with someone else and plan to get him later

  19. Sickboy

  20. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    F&%k I have both Kane and Aguero and both look like they wont play tomorrow a quarter of my funds not even on the bench !!!!

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kun will get enough mins to do some damage when WBA are shot..

  21. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    BREAKING: Kane OUT, won’t play tomorrow (Sky)

    1. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Good job I have Löwe to come in... 😆

    2. Make Arrows Green Again
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I have Jones coming in which doesn't look so bad at all!

  22. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    That's annoying.

  23. TokyoRed 東京赤
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Bavies outsourcing Azpi over three fewer matches. Worth having him over Azpi and accepting some missed matches as long as I have a couple of playing defenders?

    On wc.

    Kane ruled out: "We cannot take a risk for tomorrow, we'll see after for Wednesday. But tomorrow, it is impossible." #COYS

  25. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    And this is why I shouldn't have made my transfers last night....

  26. The Left Duke #3
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    On a WC, just looking for your thoughts on the 2 remaining positions? Elliot is my other GK.

    A) Sterling & Ryan
    B) Sane & Speroni
    C) Silva & Speroni

  27. Pinky Blinders
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Cat among the pigeons time

  28. pgeelufc
    • 14 Years

    kane out

  29. Sickboy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    If they do risk him midweek, it would also make sense to rest him for Palace.

  30. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    124796 have transferred Kane in this week...

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Hopefully will lead to a lot of free hit chips being burned
