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, 19 days ago

      yea i would. can you afford bailly and son?

    2. Bissisine
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Nope. I must do Bailly out to get Son.

  2. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Is Hojbjerg nailed on?

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 19 days 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, 19 days ago

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

        1. enrico.palazzo
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          That is the 4.3 million dollar question

  3. enrico.palazzo
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 19 days 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, 19 days 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, 19 days 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, 19 days 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, 19 days ago

      a
      anyone other than cook though you could get?

      1. Nightf0x
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

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

    2. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A. Cook makes sense too

  6. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days 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

      • 16 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
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      You get your old GW33 team so no.

  8. enrico.palazzo

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

    1. lugs
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      maybe , but if not tonight then definitely by tomorrow

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Hopefully not as I don't have him yet

  9. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days 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, 19 days 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, 19 days ago

      B

    2. Balance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      A

    3. SAY MY NAME
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days 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, 19 days ago

      B

  11. Scheister
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 19 days 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, 19 days ago

      If you have FH for GW35 i would say yes.

      1. Scheister
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        i do!
        i do!

  12. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days 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
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Ali or Son?

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

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

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Thanks
        Yeah my rival doesn't have him also

    2. Balance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Alli for more security

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Thanks

      8 years, 19 days 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, 19 days ago

        Depends on how it affects the rest of your team

      2. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days 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.

    • Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

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

    • Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Chances Ransey starts at the weekend?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Slim i'd say

    • I Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days 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, 19 days ago

        I like him as a punt

      2. FFSbet.com
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Yes could get some points.

    • yanky

      8 years, 19 days 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
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        V good.
        U must have good TV.

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

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

    • FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days 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, 19 days ago

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

    • Nigawan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days 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, 19 days ago

        Barnes and Alli

    • SAY MY NAME
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days 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, 19 days ago

        No BB chip?

        1. SAY MY NAME
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          foolishly wasted in act of desperation earlier in season lol

    • Proietti
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Which to bring in:

      a) Willian
      b) Pogba

      Other midfielders are: Salah, Eriksen, Gross and Mahrez

      1. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Willian

    • Wakanda
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

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

      1. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        If not much money tied to salah then him.

        1. Wakanda
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          quite a huge chunk to be honest

      2. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I'd be surprised if Kane rises

        1. Wakanda
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          it probably will , today or tomorrow

    • semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days 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
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

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

        1. semiconductor
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 19 days 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
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

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

            1. semiconductor
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 19 days ago

              Would u do ozil+mili??

      2. FFSbet.com
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Ox can be good pick as mentioned above.

        1. semiconductor
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          I have 3 liverpool players already. Good shout though

    • Man Chest Hair United
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days 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?

    • ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days 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
        • 13 Years

        Think A

    • Paddyb1982
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days 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

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Against Everton

          1. Paddyb1982
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 18 days 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

        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.

      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...
