The Scoutcast team are reduced to a three-man line-up as Andy’s Azpilicueta-like run of appearances comes to end. Shifting to a new rural setting, he goes AWOL having been hamstrung by his “new” medieval internet connection.

That leaves myself, Jonty and Az to represent, as we struggle to muster our own bandwidth to meet the demands of an unexpected double Gameweek, landing right in the middle of the frantic festive spell.

That topic – and the strategy involving ScoutCast favourite Harry Kane – dominates your community questions and this 90-minute episode.

Elsewhere, we try to justify shunning Arsenal assets, choose the optimum routes into Watford’s fixtures and the Allardyce’s Everton revolution, before deciding if it’s time to bail on Manchester City’s attack.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday evening. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

  1. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Pick 4 to start;

    A) Daniels
    B) Ward (pope starting)
    C) Naughton
    D) Dunk
    E) RLC

    1. FPL Mentor
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Very tough. ACD.

    2. Slartibartfast

      ADE

    3. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers both, so extrapolating the 4 I should start are ACDE!

      Not b

  2. FPL Mentor
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    RMT

    Foster
    Christensen Daniels Mee*
    Hazard Salah Coutinho Groß
    Kane Morata Wood

    (Elliot, RLC, Ward, Mbemba)

    How we looking?

    Start Ward or Mee?

  3. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Coutinho or Hazard?

    1. FPL Mentor
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Both!

      1. 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Funds wont enable this unless I triple up on Liverpool & bring in Firmino for Morata. :-/

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard

    3. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Haz, but then he does cost more...

    4. Akeem
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Haz

    5. :
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      At the moment it seems that both are "essential". Form & fixtures are excellent, both seem to be on penalties and both are very serious captaincy options from impressive teams.

      Wish I could have them both.

  4. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Kun to Morata or Save?

    Foster
    Otamendi Christensen Naughton
    Salah Hazard (vc) Sterling Rich RLC
    Kane (c) Aguero

    Elliott Mee Moreno Niasse

    1. FPL Mentor
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Morata.

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Make the transfer.

    3. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Save. Morata is an one YC away from suspension.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        This, and I see him rested one of the next two regardless

        1. arndff_
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          🙂 Cheers

      2. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Bah, if costa can manage loads of games without a yc so can morata

        1. arndff_
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Hope you're right. 😉

  5. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Sane -> Hazard
    Daniels -> Dunk

    Good for a -4?

    Makes my team look like this.

    DDG, Elliot
    Azpi, Mee, Kiko, Dunk, Moreno
    Hazard, Salah, Richarlison, Ramsey, RLC
    Kane, Morata, Niasse

    1. FPL Mentor
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah looks a good move.

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Would do it for free, not sure about the hit. Sane still a great option

  6. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Best Elliot replacement to rotate with Pope? Was thinking Homes...

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      *Gomes

    2. FPL Mentor
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Gomes for sure

    3. UnitedFan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

  7. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Lingard or Young???
    Thanks

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No one.

    2. FPL Mentor
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Think Young is more assured of a longer run of games. Young.

  8. arndff_

    Team locked in... Good luck to you all!

    DDG

  14. mir
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Coutinho rising tonight?
    Sane dropping?
    Or can I afford to wait till tomorrow?

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Sane is dropping mate

      I’ve already lost 0.2 on him so I’ve pulled the trigger

      1. mir
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Same I got him 3 gwks ago for 9mill. Got two frees and I'll be saving the second one.

        1. GS456
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah same as me. He got me nothing!

  15. Deeney-is-a-god

    1. FPL Mentor

      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    2. F4L

    3. Demel
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I am looking to bring Sterling in after the derby.

  16. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Gomes and Femenia double up too much Watford?

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No they are great for the next 6

    2. FPL Mentor
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Could work well over their nice run. Commit to it and ride it out. Could be gold.

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'm probably gonna get Gomes for fab next week and I've already got Kiko so yes.

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Thanks all

  17. GS456
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Just Pulled the trigger on Sane to Coutinho....

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Nice

    2. :
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      What took you so long? Seems like a no brainer the way they're both performing right now.

  18. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Weather forecast really doesn't look too promising for Liverpool and Manchester early Sunday going into the matches. Hmmm

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I KNOW! Best staying away from any captaincies

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        😀 just make sure your vice captain is a sure thing

    2. Demel
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I only own 2 players from those 4 teams and they are both probably injured. I would be very happy if those games are postponed.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I'm looking forward to watching those games on Sunday...but yeah, it would be pretty good for my team too

  19. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Pope
    Alonso Kolasinac Sakho
    Hazard (V) Salah Richarlison RLC
    Kane (C) Morata Abraham
    Elliot Choupo Moreno Hunemeier
    No ft. GTG or panic?

    1. yemzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      gtg

  20. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Pope or Pickford?

    If Pope, would you take a hit to get him in for Foster?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No

    2. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Foster's next 2 games compared to Pope's may make up the difference

  21. Demel
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone else looking to bring Sterling in after the derby?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I need to find a way to squeeze him in but I have such a bad SV.

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Was thinking after the Spurs game.

    3. STONEROSES
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yup. Best and most nailed of City atm

  22. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Who to get in for Naughton to find Cout out of Dunk or Zeegelaar?

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      *fund

    2. Demel
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      The Zee man for flair but he could well be a player you need to shift in a week or two.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Holebas wasn't even in the squad for the Spurs game. Not sure how threatened Zeegelaar is at the minute.

  23. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Best forward other than Kane and Morata?

    1. yemzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      lukaku after this week

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I dare say Laca

  24. Boholad
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    It's snowing away in Belfast at the moment, is there likely to be cancellations in the prem league this weekend due to the weather?

  25. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Best defender 5.0 or less based on fixtures / form

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Zeeg might be an excellent differential

    2. Boo Ya Ka Sha
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      i like zee at 4.4

    3. :
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I brought in Sakho. Blazes a trail in the form rankings and playing for a team on an upward curve with very reasonable short term fixtures.

    4. CtrlAltDelicious
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Check fixtures and points scored so far.

  26. Boo Ya Ka Sha
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    is callum expected to start

  27. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you start?

    Lowton (WAT) - have Richarlison
    Moreno (EVE)
    Loftus Cheek (BOU)

    Moreno and Lowton both yellow flags. Chances are though if they don't start, they won't play at all

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      RLC

    2. Boo Ya Ka Sha
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      gotta go Loftus

    3. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers both

  28. Tomcooper9
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Sane to Coutinho for a hit?

    1. Adams6
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I just did for free. Not sure about a hit. Big Sam’s had his team working on the Liverpool game all week. No one went Cyprus that’s going to play.

    2. Kane Train
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      no not for a hit

  29. STONEROSES
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Jesus & Sane -> Hazard & DCL?

  30. adam28193
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    would you get gomes this week or play foster and wait to get next week?

    1. Kane Train
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      play foster this week
