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.

      TC Boris, the legend.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Luka

    3. Kane Toads
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      im seriously thinking of TC Luka for GW34

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'm tempted by Lukaku/Sanchez next week

  2. Afghanistanislas
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Who would you play:
    A) Lowton (wat)
    B) van der Hoorn (wba)
    C) Bailly (mci)

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B with A as 1st sub

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

    GTG?

    Fabianski
    Christensen Morgan Lowton
    Salah(c) Son Willian Mahrez
    Auba(v) Firmino Vardy

    DDG Ki vdH Smalling

    FT: 1, ITB: 0.7

  4. wbm
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Bench and captain correct?
    And I should leave FT right?

    Ryan
    Alonso / Monreal / Morgan
    Salah / Mahrez / Son / Willian / Gross
    Auba (c) / Vardy

    De Gea / Barnes / Mariappa / Bailly

  5. Yankee Toffee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    (c) Auba. o/

  6. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Alonso captain this week..?

    1. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Just why? A midfielder with clean sheet points bla bla but does Chelsea look any solid defensively to you? If he doesn't score then you're f'ed

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Because rest of Arsenal team might have Thursday night European game syndrome

        1. Zilla
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Highly unlikely imo it's 4-1 and the game is wrapped. Get in (K)ane and take a punt if you don't like capping Auba imo

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Clean sheet looks unlikely

  7. cescpistols1
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Play any 2 from:
    A. Lukaku (mci)
    B. Sterling (MUN)
    C. Salah (eve)

    And DDG or Ryan this week?

  8. ludaslol
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Salah + Mkhi for Alli and Son? (no spurs cover atm)

    decent move? Save next week (if no injuries) and have 2frees for 35 to get some city in

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe wait for more info on Salah?

      1. ludaslol
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        ye maybe, but dont like any options for Mkhi replacement at all. Any suggestions? for 7.7

        1. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Willian?

  9. PocketZola
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Ddg is the best keeper in the world, why would u not c him?

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Its like Salah is the best FPL asset this season and Captain him vs utd(a)

    2. Dokdok666
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Kante is (one of) the best DM's in the game, why would you not (C) him?

  10. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    My team is a mess!

    Would you do Salah, Mhikitaryan to Willian, Hazard for -8?

    Would still use free hit in 34.

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No, need more info for Salah

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        In a hyperbaric chamber. Unlikely to play the weekend.

        1. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Yes, but will you need him at gw 34 till end?

          1. kysersosa
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            TBH its a coin toss. Liverpool don't have any DGW and with the money from salah fitting in other players for the DGW is a lot easier.

          2. kysersosa
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Ps I wont be selling right now, but I can see the appeal.

  11. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Pick one for dgw34.Money no problem
    A) kane alli
    B) lukaku alli
    C) lukaku lingard
    D) kane lingard

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A for sure

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Oh did not see it was only for dgw34.

        Then prolly B

    2. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B. You could see spurs struggling against City. Lukaku has a lot better fixtures and is scoring ATM.

  12. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    https://www.facebook.com/lifeinlpool/videos/10157442999669478/

    New video of Liverpool fans throwing all sorts of things at the City coach. It's from inside the coach.

    Absolutely disgraceful.

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      admittedly a handful of fans were out of line.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Handful?

        Looks like a planned thing.

    2. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      It happens everywhere..sadly

    3. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Horrible.

    4. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Clearly pre-planned.

      Doesn't take many idiots to plan something like this. Not necessarily fans though.

  13. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Start one & remaining bench order:

    A. Lukaku (mci)
    B. Fernández (wba)
    C. Lowton (wat)
    D. Gudmundsson (wat)

    The above is my order, what do u think

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Start A. Bench order B, C, D

  14. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Mhik to Ali or Eriksen?

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Alli

  15. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Would u start Fabianski or DDG this GW.?

    1. Miro
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Defo Fab.

    2. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Tight one. but Fabs

  16. Hotdogs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    DDG Hennessey
    Morgan Lowton Kiko Fernandez *
    Salah Mahrez Son Mili *
    Kane Auba *

    A) Barnes DSilva Christensen
    B) Barnes Lingard/Willian Alonso
    C) Vardy Lingard Christensen
    D) Vardy Willian Dunk
    E) Firmino Lingard Dunk
    F) Lukaku Cork Dunk

    No FH left, which option do you like best?

    1. cescpistols1
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      D

  17. cescpistols1
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Play any 2 from:
    A. Lukaku (mci)
    B. Sterling (MUN)
    C. Salah (eve)

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Your other options are that good?

    2. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A C

      And then when Salah doesn’t play, you get Smalling anyway

      1. jack149331
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        *sterling

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Are you seriously considering benching Lukaku?

  18. AThousandSuns
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    This is what will happen on Saturday, Everton takes the lead into half time Salah comes on and scores. It is that simple.

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Or Son scores 2 against Stoke and get sub off on 7x mins

  19. KeepCalm
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    What would you do with Ramsey if not WCing till GW36

    Keep or sell for a DGW34 player

  20. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    If playing WC this week, would you sell Salah?

    If he is rested for Everton, he'll play 1 game in the time Alli (for example) plays 3.

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Depends how much value you have in him for me

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

      I'm going Sanchez instead - was considering it even before the Salah injury.

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Same, he's a huge differential now

      2. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Am tempted by this too, what's the rest of your team looking like with him in it?

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

          Probably about the same as everyone else, but with only one premium defender while most have 2.

  21. jack149331
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Tosun or Lukaku ?

  22. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Best move here? No WC, BB34 & FH35

    A) Mkhi -> Ramsey
    B) Save FT

    Ryan
    Monreal, Chilwell, Lowton
    Salah, Son, Mahrez, Willian
    Auba, Vardy, Barnes

    DDG, Tarkowski, Smalling, Mkhi
    Bank 0.3m, 1FT

    1. jack149331
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I would save strong enough

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        You think Salah starts? Bench looks a little light, but I’m not overly keen on any Mkhi replacements for 8.1m or below.

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A is not great imo as Ramsey could be rested anyway

  23. rdamjan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Is Wood better option for 34 than Barnes?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes if you have the money

  24. CatMac
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Subject to no new injuries, which of the following transfers looks best for next GW (34):

    A) Mkhi + Alonso > Lingard + Vertonghen (-4)
    or
    B) Just Mkhi > Gudmondsson/Young/Fernandinho

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. Schürrle you cant be s…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B

      1. jack149331
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        b obviously

    3. CatMac
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers guys, any preference on which one: Gudmondsson, Young or Fernandinho?

      1. jack149331
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        gudmundsson 100%, double next week and watford in bad form so will capitalize this week trust me

        1. CatMac
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Cheers Jack, am BB next week so I am leaning towards him just worried about the flag.

      2. CatMac
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Should have said 5.4m max and I already have Mili as 5th mid.

        1. jack149331
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          so you're aking me what now??/

          1. CatMac
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Sorry posted that the same time as you sent your previous reply. It was just a clarification in case anyone suggested Mili.Thanks for your help.

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Gud is still injured I believe

      1. CatMac
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yes that's what concerns me

  25. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    If they were all similarly priced who would you prefer for the run in?

    A) Hazard
    B) Eriksen
    C) Alli

    A bit of a repost, but only got one answer and added an option. Sorry.

    1. jack149331
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I would choose Alli in best form and reckon chelsea vs west ham wont have many goals in it...

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Still probably one of the spurs guys

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Its for another fantasy game where they are similar priced.. gives me a huge headache...

      Would it change anything if you knew I had Willian + Kane?

      1. jack149331
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        go with alli trust me just do it..Honestly best odds

  26. barracuda

    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Hi all!

    Debut FFS question, but a crucial one (2.5itb)...

    A)
    33: Lukaku > Kane
    34: Aubameyang > Lukaku

    B)
    33: [Carry]
    34: Aubameyang > Kane, Gross > Lingard

    (Also have Murray, FHing in 35)

    Cheers all!

    1. jack149331

  28. bigdip
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Hi guys, my WC activated (no FH). Any thoughts on my WC team going into GW 33?

    GK: Ryan (DDG)
    DEF: Christensen,Tarkowski, Morgan, Duffy (Chilwell)
    MID: Salah, Mahrez, Willian, Gross (Gudmonsson)
    FWD: Kane, Auba [c] (Barnes)

    £1mn ITB to do Auba to Lukaku in GW34.

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      You haven't got many GW35 players, as you have no FH you need to plan for that do

    2. Schürrle you cant be s…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hey dude, if you have no FH you have to keep Auba surely?

      I've just wildcarded and not in love with Willian after Chelsea loss/ top four faltering.

      Any scope to do Kane/ Christensen/ Willian to Lukaku/ Alonso/ Lingard maybe?

  29. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Why are people bringing in Milli, Mustafi, Hart, etc?

    No double till 37, feels a waste of a DGW spot?

  30. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    if someone had told me I'd be considering Salah to Lingard for a 4 point hit a few weeks back...
