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.

    Bailly, Mkhi to Christensen, Son?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      yea i would. can you afford bailly and son?

    2. Bissisine
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Nope. I must do Bailly out to get Son.

  2. Greenbackbøøg…

    Is Hojbjerg nailed on?

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think so. Regardless you will get nothing more than 2-4 points over a DGW, move on

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        4.3 though, who is a good 5th mid for the dgws

        1. enrico.palazzo
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          That is the 4.3 million dollar question

  3. enrico.palazzo
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    How does this look on WC

    De Gea - Ryan
    Alonso - Chilwell - Simpson - Tark - Lowton
    GroB - Mahrez - Eriksen - Ibe - Willian
    Austin - Kane - Aub

    0.9 ITB for Aub > Lukaku

    BB 34
    FH 35

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      couple things id look at but otherwise good id say...
      eriksen > alli?
      double lei and bur defenders?
      ibe over a dgw player?
      austin could maybe be downgraded, but could be a good punt if you've got the funds

      1. enrico.palazzo
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks mate -
        Really don't rate/like Alli but still a good option
        Double defence due to funds
        Ibe is a DGW player (34)
        Austin is a former favourite of mine - granted he is expensive

        1. enrico.palazzo
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          I think he is too expensive - going with Barnes

    Ryan

    WC draft?
    ddg ryan
    mustafi christensen chilwel lowotn verto
    mahrez salah cook willian (......)
    auba (.....) barnes

    a) lingard kane & 1.2 itb for next week auba to lukaku
    b) son lukaku & 0 itb

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      a
      anyone other than cook though you could get?

      1. Nightf0x
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        4.6 max, downgrade mustafi to van der horrn ? will have 5.6

    2. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      A. Cook makes sense too

  6. Fantasy Gold
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Do you think there’s any chance of Bravo getting a few games at the end of the season when Man City have already won the title?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 17 Years

      yes

    If you use your ft after gw33 and get in players for gw35, then activate FH for gw34 would you keep the transferred in players?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      You get your old GW33 team so no.

        Thanks

  8. enrico.palazzo
    • 13 Years

    Is it probable that Kane will rise tonight..? I see he is at +89.5%

    1. lugs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      maybe , but if not tonight then definitely by tomorrow

      1. enrico.palazzo

        Thanks

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully not as I don't have him yet

  9. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    A) Keep gross for this week
    B) gross out
    C) keep gross indefinitely

    A/B --> ... 1) gross to lingard / 2) gross to ???

  10. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    A) Mkhi->Gross
    B) Mkhi->Lingard

    A gives me a nailed dgwker from a weak team with a good fixture this week but tough fixtures after it.
    B gives me a rotation risk who could possibly cover for Lukaku's points in dgw34 since I'd be getting Kane in.

    1. RESULT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      B

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

      A

    3. SAY MY NAME
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I've gone B for better long term fixtures and cover for kane instead of kaku (also have Valencia and DDG)

    4. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      B

  11. Scheister
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    On WC now.
    Salah + Gudmundsson ->> Alli + Lingard?
    ...Even if Salah just out one week, would be tough to lose that value!

    DDG Ryan
    Vertonghen Christensen Morgan Lowton Dunk/Tark
    Mahrez Salah Gross Willian Gudmundsson
    Kane Barnes Auba

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      If you have FH for GW35 i would say yes.

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

        i do!
        i do!

  12. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    This enough for 35?

    Vvd mee
    Salah shaqiri Kennedy (city mid)
    Auba ayew

    Or stick with firmino and zaha as well and go without Sanchez and Kane for 34....

  13. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Ali or Son?

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'd go all as he's a form player with more secure starts

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

        Thanks
        Yeah my rival doesn't have him also

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

      Alli for more security

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

        Thanks

  14. Licious Lizard (delete acc)
    8 years, 4 months ago

    On WC with all other Chips remaining.

    Is it too top heavy to go with Kane, Kaku and Vardy up front?

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on how it affects the rest of your team

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I think the ideal 3 now would be Kane Auba Vardy, but with a transfer plan (money itb) to do Auba->Lukaku next week.

  15. Bad Kompany
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Mustafi or Smalling? Will fh in 35
    Best mid 5.7 or less? Currently on Albrighton

  16. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Chances Ransey starts at the weekend?

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      *Ramsey

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

      Slim i'd say

  17. I Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Chamberlain a decent punt on WC? Don't have Free Hit so need someone with a good fixture in GW34 and a game in GW35. Currently on Milivojevic but have the extra cash for the Ox.

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I like him as a punt

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yes could get some points.

    3. tokara
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      if he starts

  18. yanky
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    pretty template but thoughts?..

    DDG - Ryan
    Alonso - Chilwell - Lowton - Tarkowski - Dunk
    Alli - Willian - Mahrez - Lingard - Gross
    Kane - Auba - Barnes

    34 transfer will be Auba to Lukaku for free

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

      V good.
      U must have good TV.

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

        just noticed no Salah.
        Id wait on news about him.

  19. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Any ideas guys dont know what to do here,no FH will WC GW36-BB37
    0.7 ITB 0FT

    Ryan*/3.9
    Alonso*/Davies*/Mee/*Fernandez/VVD
    Hazard*/Salah/Mane/Son*/Mili
    Auba/Vardy*/Barnes*

    Mee + Salah > Kiko + Sanchez(TC DGW34) for -8 ?Leave me with 0.0ITB
    Got Salah at 10.1 so if he drop i cant do it.

    No FH for GW35 is big problem,can field 9 without hits if all play.
    Hard to navigate need hit for DGW player than hit to sell...dont know what is the best balance how many DGW players to have.

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Or leave it and TC Hazard and hope Salah to get some games.
      If i ditch Salah probably should do it now.

  20. Nigawan
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Which option should I pick for dgw 34 and dgw37?

    a) Barnes and Salah
    b) Vardy and Ramsey

    currently on :

    salah - mahrez - willian - lingard - ibe
    barnes - kane - abumayang (switch to lukaku gw34)

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Barnes and Alli

  21. SAY MY NAME
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    How's she looking on WC? (gone heavy defence as I know ML rival won't and I'm chasing 85 point gap, so need differentials)

    money for auba to kane next week, no BB hence bench fodder

    DDG
    Alonso/Azpi/Chilwell
    Son/Alli/Mahrez/Willian/Lingard
    Vardy/Auba(c)

    nordfeldt/Valencia/Lowton/Cambell

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No BB chip?

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        foolishly wasted in act of desperation earlier in season lol

  22. Proietti
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Which to bring in:

    a) Willian
    b) Pogba

    Other midfielders are: Salah, Eriksen, Gross and Mahrez

    1. semiconductor
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Willian

  23. Wakanda
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Kane at 90% now
    Kane to replace
    a) Lukaku
    b) Aub
    c) Salah

    1. semiconductor
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      If not much money tied to salah then him.

      1. Wakanda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        quite a huge chunk to be honest

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

      I'd be surprised if Kane rises

      1. Wakanda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        it probably will , today or tomorrow

  24. semiconductor
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I will WC and BB gws 36 and 37. FH gw34 because I already have 10 players for gw35 already (assuming salah and mkhi would be fit by then).

    Would you do stans+walcott to ramsy+d.silva? That would give me the 11th player for gw35 (with a FT then)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      For GW33? You'll be doing well to get both starting.

      1. semiconductor
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yes for gw33. Sorry I didn't get what u meant. Do u mean low chance for them even starting?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Ramsey has been saved for Europa.
          Who knows what Pep will do.

          1. semiconductor
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Would u do ozil+mili??

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Ox can be good pick as mentioned above.

      1. semiconductor
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I have 3 liverpool players already. Good shout though

  25. Man Chest Hair United
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Hi guys my midfield is a mess. Any idea here

    Salah Mihki Sane Ali milojevic

    I don’t have a free hit for 35.

    Worth keeping sane and shipping the other two? Mahrez and Ramsey in?

  26. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone tempted to leave Kane until 36, and get Lukaku in 34 instead? For me, it's:

    A) Alli + Lukaku (C)
    B) Arnie + Kane (C)

    (Already got Willian and Lingard)

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

      Think A

  27. Paddyb1982
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone think everton are good investment next 4 gameweeks..they play liverpool reserves and newcastle at home..huddersfield and swansea away..gameweek 34 they play swansea but i will use free hit that week so wont include everton players

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

      can see Liverpool playing fairly strong team.

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

        Against Everton

        1. Paddyb1982
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          I dont..at this stage 2 years ago liverpools only chance of getting champions league was europa league..klopp made massive changes each game...im fairly certain clyne moreno will play full back..solanke will play up top with possibly ings..salah will defo be rested and probably firminio...it looks as if emre can is out for rest of season so 17 year old curtis jones may start in midfield but most likely be on the bench...the midfield was very tired last 10 mins against city..i would be very surprised if klopp doesnt rest milner cause of his age and with so little time to recover..with so many injuries there isnt many options

    2. RESULT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Probably going to get it way wrong but I can see at least 3 to 4 players from starting line-up vs city not starting vs Everton.
      Moreno wijnaldum solanke/ings starting

  28. SpaceCadet

    Any thoughts on my wc?
    De gea, Dubravka
    Lowton, Tarkowski, Chilwell, kiko, Dummet
    Salah, Mahrez, Willian, Lingard, King
    Lukaku, Kane, Aubameyang

    Alternatively I can get Barnes for Lukaku and Sanchez or Alli for Lingard and then in dgw34 sell Auba for Luk. But it will be great if i can save ft and have 2ft for bgw35...

  30. Ron_Manager
