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.

    I'm torn

    DDG - could make a load of saves, Mou bus, weakened City
    Ryan - easy fixture, Hudds need a win, has 1-1 written all over it, less saves

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

      if I owned DDG i'd play in against all comers tbh. the man is amazing...

      Last time Brighton kept a cleansheet; 30th Dec last year. Its the tail end of the season and it is characterized with goals.

    3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Man Utd concede two, De Gea gets 6 saves for a 3 pointer, Ryan concedes one, gets three saves for a 1 pointer, Pope keeps a clean sheet, gets four saves, and a bonus point for an 8 pointer

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        *3 pointer for Ryan

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

        Pope dropped for Heaton imo 😉

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I don't think it will happen. Heaton has no chance of WC, Pope is in with a chance but only if he keeps his form up. Gamble I'm willing to make.

          1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Dyche said otherwise this week... Heaton in contention

            1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Blegh. Worst comes to worst, De Geas 3 pointer comes off the bench.

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

    If you have Stanislas in your team. You won't see him again until next season

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

      that confirmed ya?

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

        Yes

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

          cheers

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

      Stanislas (c), Auba (vc)

  3. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Morning lads/ladies... I'm look at a midfielder for 33 & 35 only. FH in 34 so no worries there. Stanislas getting the bullet.

    A: Ramsey (SOU & WHU)
    B: Zaha (bou & wat)
    C: other (up to 7.5m)

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

      In the same boat. Rambo tops my list but thinking about Zaha. Tough one because I'm not sure on Ramseys game time.

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

        that's the real issue! will wait on more news I guess.
        cheers for reply

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

      C) Could be Ibe.

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

        have Ibe sitting there already but Bou don't play in 35

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

    if Salah is a doubt for next week then Auba, Salah and Kenedy to Kane, Lingard and Gross?

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

      for -4 or 8?

      could work well either way... but would be close!
      would Salah to Sanchez be of interest?

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

        -4, i don't think i could afford Sanchez and Kane sadly, so someone to replace Kenedy would be cool

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

    Can Liverpool win the champions league? NO! will city qualify? No! would Salah play against everton? Yes!

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

      those ******s could win it... that's the worst part!!!

    2. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Of course we can win it, 5 times champions.

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

        & it's great that for ye 6 still fits on one hand 😉 haha

        hi6 🙂

  6. hspin
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone considering Pogba for the DGW? or is Lingard just as good?

    1. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Staying clear of Man U mids tbh

      keeper + defender + kaku

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      both prone to rotation. its sanchez or none from united mid

    3. hspin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Thanks

    4. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      i'm looking at sanchez if possible & if not not prob go with lingard

  7. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    How many goals(penos) u reckon Millijoveic will score for rest of season?.

    Fixtures- bou BHA wat LEI sto WBA.

    A) 2
    B) 3.
    C) 4

    1. izam
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      1 more and thats it.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        surely more?

    2. QuintonFortune25
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A. Palace always seem to get penalties with Zaha

  8. Boris Bodega
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    So this Aaron Ramsey curse is an actual thing. Who will be next?

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

    Milivojevic or Kenedy on WC? Still got FH

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      considering getting milli just to stop his annoying jammy penos 😉

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

    Is anyone going without kaku in gw34?

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

      I'm toying with Lukaku over Kane for 34, then Kane 36 onwards.

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

        Thanks man

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      would be brave given his form. but could survive if u got alexis

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

        Thanks

    3. izam
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I am considering it; if salah no show and Sanchez as much as hits the woodwork, will prefer getting sanchez in and ride out the dgw with Auba vs Newcastle and a Gmwk 35 fixture for Auba.

  11. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Pressers?

  12. RichRover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Quick question please.
    Which keeper for the 2 dgw's? Lloris or De Gea?
    Thanks

    1. QuintonFortune25
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Dave

      1. RichRover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks

        1. QuintonFortune25
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          However both United and Spurs are great picks at the back. I would get Dave and Vertongen as opposed to Lloris and Bailly so first pair are completely nailed and good for bonus

  13. QuintonFortune25
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A) Salah to Alli/Erikson this week, Auba to Kane next week

    Or

    B) Save FT, Mustafi and Auba to Fernandez and Kane next week

    Both for free but B will give me an extra GW34 player (Erikson or Alli). I could get a 4.5 playing in GW34 but really want Fernandez with GW37 in mind and decent fixture in 34 anyway. What do you reckon?

  14. fkmzcgp
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    If I use my FH will my FT from that week rollover to next week? If it doesn't, can I use the FT first and then play the FH in same week

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

      no & no.

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

    Sanchez over Lukaku?

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

      I wouldnt

  16. BigAsGiroud_
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Firmino → Vardy this week??

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

      FT can surely be used better?

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

        sorry just realised not all in same boat as me (FH34).

        good move if sorted for 35

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

          Plan for dgw34,gonna FH35

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

            perfect so!

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

      In the same boat. But does double Lei is too much?

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Not too much, points are points and both Mahrez + Vardy are likely to score well for the remainder.

    3. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'm FH in 34

      Will keep Firm, great fixtures rest of season

      My front 3 will be:

      Firm - Kane - Lukaku / Vardy

    4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think if Salah injury is more serious, then I can see Klopp protecting both Firminio and Mane ............therefore limited FPL minutes..........I would go Vardy as he will play 100% every game and good fixtures.......

  17. TooDifficuIt
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Smalling playing every single game for almost 3 months now, why he's a rotation risk now?

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

      weren't Jones & Bailly injured for periods? guessing with all fit ppl just think there'll be rotation

    2. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Full squad fit to play

    3. TooDifficuIt
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      cheers all

  18. Champions united
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

      cheers

  20. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Salah sellers are you planning to get him back any time soon?

    1. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      GW35 FH

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe GW38

    3. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Most likely wont be able to afford it unless FH or Gw38 maybe

      I’m keeping atm

      1. Alexis Nonsense
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        This

        It's one game to bench him

        He will pay it back with those fixtures !

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

      Just 35 (FH) and 38 (FT) most likely.

      Thinking is that he may miss GW33 and in 34/37 there's the opportunity to own someone with two fixtures to Salah's one.

      1. Alexis Nonsense
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Which midfielder is likely to outscore Salah even with two fixtures?

        Not many (maybe Mahrez, Son if not rotated...that's it)

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

          Sanchez, De Bruyne, Sane, Sterling.

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

    Is it stupid to take a punt on Rashford over Vardy for the DGW?

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

      Yes

    2. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

    3. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Very stupid.........

    4. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Certainly is!

    5. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      what they said

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

    A) Alli & Barnes
    or
    B) Son & Chris Wood

    1. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Alli and Barnes OR Son and Barnes

  23. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I want Kane this week, but who do I remove...

    A, Lukaku
    B, Vardy

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Negative

    2. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Lukaku wanted for DGW in my opinion. Are you planning to bring back in next week if you transfer out for Kane this week?

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        No, but I can bring Sanchez in for 34.

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

          Good plan

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

      Kaku

  24. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Son > Alli or Eriksen?

    1. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Why get rid of Son?

      If making the transfer, Alli

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Fairly sideways but i’m not sure we will see Son in the form he was in earlier in the season.

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I don’t like either move, if you must it’s Eriksen.

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

      no

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

    Those getting Kane are you giving him the armband?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      If I bring him in then he’s 100% my captain.

  26. Astronautovic
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    If u want auba for 37 would you switch him to lukaku in 34?
    Or rather switch vardy to kaku?

    1. Aubaaaaa
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Vardy to Kaku.

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

    Who would you rather have up front along with Auba and Kane for GW 33-35? No FH left

    A. Firmino (eve, BOU, wba)
    B. Vardy (NEW, bur/SOT, ---)
    C. Barnes (wat, LEI/CHE, stk)

    1. Bleach †
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B.

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B

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

      B

  28. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Gudmundson a doubt for this GW, but is he worth the risk to bring in on wc now for for DGW34?

    1. grumpyman
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      That's my dilemma too. Think I might risk it.

  29. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Will I regret having Smalling in my team rather than Lingard?

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I hope so...........

    2. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hopefully not

  30. dando89
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    DDG or Fabianski for this week?

    Pretty unusual that the most difficult decision of the gameweek is keeper choice!
