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.

    Wasn’t expecting more than 2 points from kane tomorrow. I think I’ll just leave him there and happy enough for Maguire to come off the bench for him

    Had to be vs UTD didn't it. Sickening

    Anyway

    What an awful time this week has been to WC...

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

      LOL, kidding me this is the best kind of week to WC

        This - some people can't see beyond the end of their noses

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Ay cmon lad that hurt my feelings. The good thing is Kane hopefully drops and Aguero gets benched so I can get them in using transfers easily.

      How wildcard looking?

      Think I'm set just done kane to Lacazette 1 week punt

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Morata and Lacazette

      I feel it's been a good week.

    4. Dosh

      This is the best week to WC!!
      I did and was planning to drop Kane anyway for a week. Now, not owning him this week is not a differential anymore :/

  4. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

    Free hit it is then!

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

      Don't get the rules on free hit. Already on -8 in hits. Do i still take -8 if i use Free Hit?

      Or does it go back till the start of the gameweek to the team you had at deadline?

      I will get Lukaku back, but at 11.6 😀 ?

      And i would have to buy aguero at 11.8 next week instead of the 11.5 i got him at last saturday night? 😀

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

        GW9 team restored at original purchase prices.

      2. KickIt

        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Cancels out, back to original team. Existing team gets rises/falls and all new players prices you get nothing.

    2. KickIt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, was on a -12 anyway so free hit and all in on Arsenal, Liverpool and City.

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

  6. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Who to start now Kane is ruled out:

    A - Hegazi
    B - TCarroll

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

    Have to play Jones now i guess

  8. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    1) Am I all set up for tomorrow?
    2) Davies or Duffy to play?
    3) Who to captain?!?!

    Elliot
    Stones Ward Duffy
    Coutinho D.Silva Richarlison Choupo
    Morata Kane Jesus

    Krul; Davies, RLC, Mbemba... 0FT and 1.3 mill in the bank.

    Glad I went Kaku to Morata last night and kept Kane. Brill.

    1. mad_beer ✅
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I did the same move last night. 😐

  10. Dybala10
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    This could be a horrendous gameweek if there is rotation, now Kane is also out.

    Ffs.

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

    So Kane out confirm.. 🙁

    Kane Owners - What are you doing with him?

    Selling or Benching

    The Kane news shouldn't really come as a surprise as it has been knocking about for the last few days but nobody was willing to believe it

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

      Benching ofc. Value tied up + Palace next week

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

        He might not be ready for Palace though right?

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

      Amen to the last bit

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

      Benching. This is exactly why you have a strong bench and not a bench of Mbebmba's and Tom Carroll's. A perfect week to be out short-term as wasn't expecting much from him anyway, and wasn't a strong captaincy option.

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

        A million times this. Just copy and paste this to every one of the thousands of identical questions this site will have on the matter.

      2. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        This is true will probably do the same and ride the price drop if any. Hopefully the midweek game will give us a better update to see if he will be fit for next week

    4. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Poch lies. It's an hammy injury. Obviously more than a pull. Kane will drop

      I'm selling

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

      RLC to the rescue off the bench.

    6. A.J.
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Have a decent ish bench so not overly worried.

      The free hit chip is a very plausible option if you don't have a workable bench imo.

    7. Pacer.
      • 9 Years

      "Nobody was willing to believe it"

      where did you dream that up from? I've been reading the board the last few days and people are just waiting for news

      1. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        FPL didn't flag him

    8. The Butch
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      benching

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

    Shame on fpl for not flagging Kane and shame on FFS for putting no tweets out on the doubt surrounding Kane. No wonder so many on here were convinced he'd start based on nothing whatsoever

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Get the tissues

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

      You were right Tim.

  14. andy85wsm

    Kane out!

    Ouch.

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

      Are you keeping? I mean there's always Atsu to come in 🙂

  15. AD2110
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Is Mariappa nailed at the mo? Any other 4.0 playing defenders?

  16. unlethal
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Bavies to Otamendi for a hit, yes/no?

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

      Don't take a hit for a defender

  17. England23
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Captain Jesus or hazard and why?

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

    On WC Kane > Lukaku bank 0.9 then switch back next GW if fit?

  19. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Free hit time?

  20. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    So now the question is will they risk him against Palace?

  21. Ozzy smith
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Kane >> Lacazette(c)

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

    I'm 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 won't play this weekend, and he's always going to be a rotation risk.

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

    Probably 4 non starters this week for me: Davies, Sterling, Kane and Mbemba

  24. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Kane out injured already took a -4, free hit chip time

  25. skodaole2
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Too bad Harry cant play tomorrow, hope Son plays as a false 9 now. Having Davies and Wood together with Kane who I intend to keep, maybe a hit for Wood -> Carroll is imperative? Will have Cork and Holgate on the bench to replace Wood and Davies if they dont play.

  26. Bird Raymond
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    A good week to play the free hit rather than have all that Kane money sitting on thr bench?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah can get out a really nice 3-5-2

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

    Ok.. just activated the free hit..
    Come on Tripple Arsenal and Liverpool..

  28. Ha.
    • 8 Years

    I don’t need Kane, I have Tom Carroll 😎

  29. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years

    No kane. Duffy 15 pointer incoming

  30. FPL ZB

    Saved 2 FTs, saw the Lukaku -259 last night, used them both, now stuck with Kane. Disaster. Panic stations
