Recorded prior to Mohamed Salah’s injury scare, the ScoutCast crew already had one curveball to contend with in this latest episode as we mulled over Harry Kane solutions.

Fit-again and primed to skittle the Stoke City defence, Granville, Jonty, Andy and Az join me to discuss how we go about making plans for Harry ahead of two tempting Double Gameweeks.

Elsewhere in this episode, your community questions steer us to consider the optimum front three, assess Chelsea’s shaky confidence and weigh up the fixtures versus form conundrum that is Marko Arnautovic.

The regular weekend preview is then followed by an extraordinary bout of mind games from Jonty, who appears to have tap into the dark arts to prophesise Salah’s injury two days early. That would explain his rank this season; there’s been voodoo at work.

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.

    Best GW to WC?
    A This week for GW34?
    or
    B GW36 for GW37 and Bench Boost

    have my FH chip still and considering this for next GW....

      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      if it's any help i'm going B
      FH 34 as I can get 11 decent players out in 35 with FTs (might need a hit if Salah confirmed out)

      1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Hmmmm....after being convinced of the WC this GW, having had no time to actually plan it...GW36 seems the best option...may have too much to do in my ML but gotta risk it for a whopping GW37 BB

  2. Count of Monte Hristo

    What’s your ideal midfield 4 for this GW?

    Mahrez Ramsey Mané Eriksen

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Willian?

      1. _Make
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Willian isn't ideal any gameweek, but he is great value.

    2. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Hazard Mahrez Alli Sane

      Mane by himself?
      Ramsey likely rested.

    Lads,

    Is getting Christensen on WC worth the risk?

    Mkhitaryan being injured is annoying, he was my s̶t̶u̶p̶i̶d̶ ̶v̶a̶n̶i̶t̶y̶ ̶p̶i̶c̶k̶ clever differential. Now I need to do some thinking. Ugh, I hate thinking.

    1. Old Gregg
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, it totally backfired!.

      Do I still get Willian as planned

    2. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Me too. The only mistake on my wild card last week was getting Myk instead of David Silva.

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      Don't think he was a bad pick - not many were expecting him to be benched last week, and you couldn't have foreseen his injury.

      1. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I think he was a bad pick. Going for any Arsenal player bar Aubameyang was a bad pick.

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Same for me. Super annoying.

  5. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Who would you have as first sub? They’re effectively replacing Salah.

    A) Lowton WAT(A)

    B) Naughton WBA (A)

  6. klopp it guys
    • 8 Years

    What would you do with this??

    Foster
    Alonso, vvd, zanka
    Kennedy, salah, mane, erikson
    Lukaku, vardy, wilson

    Bench, pickford, francis, keane, cork

    its a tough week to play your last WC...........so many injuries to key players all of which don't seem to be long term ???

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I would hate to be on a WC now

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Don't people not on a WC have these players too?

    3. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Why is it a bad week to be on a WC? Which key players are injured bar Salah?

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Those that have already WCed just trying to convince themselves they have made the right decision by the looks of it, even though it is too late to change that decision so a bit of a futile exercise.

        1. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Last week was a nightmare to wc I have no disagreement there.

      2. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Will kane start ? Will he be effective as he's usually a slow starter after injury. This is a big one in terms of funds.

  8. N00B
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Who to play this week ?

    a) Ryan, Schelotto
    b) DDG, Scheletto
    c) Ryan, Morgan

  9. Champions united
    • 9 Years

  11. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Which plan is better?

    Plan 1
    GW 33 - WC
    GW 34 - Bench Boost
    GW 35 - 2FT
    GW 36 - 1FT
    GW 37 - FH

    Plan 2
    GW 33 - 1FT
    GW 34 - FH
    GW 35 - 1FT
    GW 36 - WC
    GW 37 - Bench Boost

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      2 imo (as a few posts up 😉 )

    2. RIDZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      with no TC, plan 2 looks better

  12. Patches O Hoolahan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Final WC: (FH/BB/TC all in tact)

    - Lloris | Ryan -
    - Smalling | Christensen | Chilwell | Lowton | Morgan -
    - Alli | Salah | Willian | Iborra | Lingard -
    - Kane | Aubameyang | Wood -

    Before GW34 - Aub > Morata

    Green light?

    If I choose to sell Salah, Eriksen (or even Alli) would be ideal, but then again I would want to have Kane (or at least keep a spot for him) and already have Verts who is going nowhere and Son.... I don't even want to ask whether Lingard is a good alternative in case Az is here to see this post, haha 🙂

    Could do Lukaku/Eriksen though, but with Kane, and can't have a spurs mid for Salah... Tough decisions in this game all the time....

  15. steven8991
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Pope elliot
    Monreal Maguire VVD Baines Daniels
    Salah Mahrez KDB Milivojecic Stanislas
    Auba Firmino Quaner

    1FT, no FH available, other chips still intact

    Should I WC now?

  16. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Barnes or Murray

  17. Monkey Hanger

    Difference between a good and bad GW33 is 10pts either way. Not worth losing any sleep over it. Bring on GW34, and let's have some fun.
