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.

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.

    If Sane plays and scores well next match I think despite all the Pep nonsense he can be considered nailed, I'll get him in for free before he rockets in price for David Silva for gw11.

      This

    2. tokara

      there is no such thing as nailed for Pep's team

      look at Sterling

      1. We Will Klopp you
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Ah well, nailed-ish 😉 Nailed for a Pep player anyway

    3. Pep says
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Maybe worth doing it this week in that case. Sane to outscore Silva by 4 pts??

    4. Jude Rooney
      9 years, 14 days ago

      When looking at Sane or Sterling the question you need to ask is will they score enough points in the games they start to make up for the blanks - the answer is probably yes.

      Can you stand the frustration when they are benched though? And the constant second guessing of City team news!

  2. tokara
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Pereyra out would it impact Richarlison who has been running up down on the right flank

    🙁

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 14 days ago

      I wouldn't worry much. Carrillo played the same role previously and provided the same amount of threat. RP is the better player, but the impact on Richarlison is negligible.

      1. tokara
        9 years, 14 days ago

        thanks!

        i also checked that Pereyra played off the bench for GW 5-7, Carrillo started

  3. umerlfc
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Who to start?

    A) Cedric - BRI(A)
    B) Joselu - BUR(A)
    C) RLC - WHU(H)

      Depends on your expectations..

    4. bigbudgie
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Dude. It's A
      Only time to captain someone like him is two plum home fixtures in a double game week (I love the defender punt in a DGW)

  5. BananaNose Maldonado
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Sorry. One more:

    A) Moreno
    B) Gomez

    I've been on Gomez all week due to his ability to play RB and CB, and because I think his bonus could skyrocket if he plays CB, but the discussion on the last page seemed to favor Moreno. I find Moreno sort of meh, but I also want the more nailed player in a wildcard. What say you?

    Cheers.

    1. bigbudgie
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Neither - Duffy, Dunk, Mee, Kiko etc

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Already have Dunk and Mee, and really don't like Watford's fixtures.

        A or B, Budgie? 🙂

        1. bigbudgie
          9 years, 14 days ago

          Ahhh
          I think Moreno passes the eye test recently and is regaining some form under Klopp and a run in the team
          But I really don't know enough about Gomez.
          Also there is always a threat of rotation with TAA and Robertson is there not?

          1. BananaNose Maldonado
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            9 years, 14 days ago

            There is. I guess Moreno is ever so slightly more nailed. Thanks, BB.

    2. Holmes
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Gomez would be my pick... Looks good for BPs and pretty much similar to Moreno when it comes to attack

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks, Holmes.

    3. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 14 days ago

      I think they're both pretty nailed, TAA hasn't played in the Prem since Burnley, has been getting Champions League games instead

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks! I really do prefer Gomez. Just didn't want to make a mistake on this one.

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Really good stuff. Thanks!

        1. Bat Man
          9 years, 14 days ago

          So, who are you going with and why? I am leaning towards Moreno, but annoyed that the two games Robertson has started have been 'easy' home games...

          1. BananaNose Maldonado
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            9 years, 14 days ago

            I'm 80% leaning towards Gomez due to his ability to play both CB and RB. I have this odd feeling that Robertson could actually wrestle the LB position away if he picks up in training, while I think Gomez is going to find his way into the side...somewhere.

            1. Bat Man
              9 years, 14 days ago

              Same, now. I will be mightily pissed off if Lovren gets a continued run in the side and TAA plays at RB over Gomez though...

    4. Pep says
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Why risk it on a Pool defender? Plenty of other good 100% nailed options

      1. Bat Man
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Two very good home fixtures for clean sheets in the next 3

  6. bigbudgie
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Choose one from next week, have Salah and Kane already

    A) Alli
    B) Eriksen
    C) Coutinho

    1. waldo666
      9 years, 14 days ago

      B

    2. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 14 days ago

      C, better than Eriksen, has so many ways he can get points, great option

      1. bigbudgie
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Coutinho a better player than Eriksen...that's a shout! I guess that's why Barca aren't after the Dane then 🙂

        1. We Will Klopp you
          9 years, 14 days ago

          Couts has it all bar electric pace, what a player

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 14 days ago

      I'd take A, actually. I think he's about to hit a purple patch.

      1. bigbudgie
        9 years, 14 days ago

        I of have a gut feeling on this too....2 in his last 2, slight change in position playing a little deeper and great fixtures incoming...

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          9 years, 14 days ago

          Yeah. I'm taking a punt on Sanchez on my WC so I can captain him this week, but am already eyeing/planning a move to Alli (and I say this as someone who absolutely LOVES Eriksen).

      2. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Agree. Alli for me too next week.

      3. Rosey Palmer
        9 years, 14 days ago

        I actually think all the Alli sellers might regret getting rid over the next 5 GWs....probably not against ManU this week but after. Holding for now.

      4. Rosey Palmer

    Best 5.6 DF for this back 7

    Elliott Foster

    Mee Dunk Bertrand Maguire xxxxxxxx

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Joggers Nipple
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Jones probably, long term hes value

    2. Pep says
      9 years, 14 days ago

      If you don't need him for this week then get Daniels and lose Berty in a couple weeks. Could upgrade him with the funds or get Jones or downgrade him depending the rest of the team

    3. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Daniels

    4. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Jones, because you are already well covered for the next two weeks.

        Mbemba to Gomez this week, Wimmer to Francis next. Just for fixtures?

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          9 years, 14 days ago

          I'd do this, or Duffy/Dunk this week and then Francis next week.

    Any mods around? Would there be a way to sort the comments by 'Replies' (as in how many replies a comment has) (this would be in the filters alongside Rating, Sticky and Date)?

    Think it would be a good way to uncover the posts that have some discussion attached as these are usually the most beneficial.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not atm. Rating normally sorts the better stuff.

    Breaking News!!!! Fenway Sports Group have turned down an offer of £1.5billion to buy Liverpool from a Dubai-based consortium.

    The report claims that Staveley's attempt to buy Liverpool was rejected by FSG because the American company believed that could secure a greater bid in the future.

    The English businesswoman's holding company reportedly has a fund of global assets worth £28billion.

    She was a key negotiator in Sheik Mansour's 2008 takeover of Manchester City.

    1. Rash
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Richarlison to get a Josh king like rise

      1. We Will Klopp you
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Hopefully he doesn't do a Josh King next season too, assuming he is what we hope he'll be. Does have a lot more talent which bodes well for him.

      Richarlison to 8.0. Sane to 9.5.

      1. We Will Klopp you

        Those both seem very likely based on what we know

    I had a preminituon that city spanked West Brom. Sane got a hatty and aguero with 2 goals and 3 assist. Either way I'm not happy for when It don't happen I'll be annoyed and two.. I should not be dreaming about man city unless it's United dishing out the spanking

        1. Another Hoops
          9 years, 14 days ago

          C or E. IMO Saints will conceed and VVD along with Stones has the least chance of attacking returns.

      Pool attackers, Sanchez, Hazard

      Salah Coutinho

    Thoughts on bringing Coutinho in? It would mean binning Silva or Sterling.

      If you already have Liverpool cover I wouldn't bother despite Coutinho's potential.

      If not I'd bin Sterling. Obvious higher % of being rotated.

    Vardy, Choupo & Alonso to Morata , Richarlison & Mertesacker for -8. Do it or hold ?

    1. KUNingas
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Hold...

    is Richarlison a safe bet?

    1. smix
      9 years, 14 days ago

      For the first 11 yes.. not for captaincy tho !

  27. bigbudgie

    Absurd to consider captaining Hazard over Kun, Kane and Salah?

      yep

    2. Oven Glover

      I know he has a decent record against Bournemouth but he also has a terrible away record overall. I’d never captain him away from home.

    3. HurriKane
      9 years, 14 days ago

      go safe with salah

    4. Holmes
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Not over Kun and Kane

  28. KUNingas
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Right to bench DDG or will Jose put the bus in front of him?
    And G2G?

    Elliot
    Davies, Cedric, Monreal, Ward
    Salah, Sterling, Richarlison
    Kane, Kun, Vardy

    DDG, RLC, Cresswell, TC

    1. Oven Glover
      9 years, 14 days ago

      DDG likes the big matches so I would play him.

      1. KUNingas
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks. Anything worth a hit? 0.0 ITB

        1. Oven Glover
          9 years, 14 days ago

          Very good team but just like me you have three potential no shows/limited minutes and I’m not sure about RLCs minutes either so it could turn ugly. If anything, Davies to someone but that depends on what you’re looking at going forward defensively? Maybe Stones?

    2. HurriKane
      9 years, 14 days ago

      id play elliot . this gw.. i think spurs has greater chance of scoring than burnley

    3. Squashed
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Good team but by defult i would play ddg from gw1 to 38

      1. KUNingas
