The ScoutCast – Episode 260 – Pacesetter

The ScoutCast crew are joined by the current Fantasy Premier League pacesetter in this latest episode, as world number one Bharat Dhody drops by.

With ice flowing through his veins, Bharat risks the curse that has seen us dent the title tilt for previous top-ranked managers to join myself, Jonty, Andy and Az for a ScoutCast season highlight.

Inevitably, the four of us are a little star-struck, but in between our desperate attempts to convince Bharat to keep his cards close to his chest, we put his season and current mindset under scrutiny.

Elsewhere, your community questions lead us by the hand as we assess Harry Kane’s updated application for the Triple Captain role, review the merits of a Mohamed Salah exit plan and scratch around for Double Gameweek differentials.

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.

    Would you downgrade Alonso that can make Willian to Sane o Vardy to Jesus for a hit?
    Or just do Barnes to J Ayew for free?

    For Rashford, Eriksson and Smalling In?

    1. DDD909
      • 12 Years

      Leave Vardy in and go with the other two.

      1. WATERMELONS
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Thanks. Need to move Vardy to free up the funds but I hear you. Leicester can’t possibly be as bad as last week again...

  9. Clifford☯
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Alonso & Willian to Smalling & Sterling for -4.

    Yes Or No?

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Can you do Willian to Sterling or you need to enable with the defense hit?

  10. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    For draft:

    A) B Silva
    B) Gündogan

  12. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Is it worth trying to get Eriksen or Sterling into this team for a hit:
    0.5itb
    Courtois,
    Smalling, Tomkins, Davies
    DSilva, Kenedy, Salah, Arnie
    Rashford, Kane, Jesus

    Cech, Mili, Morgan, Lowton

  13. Trippier Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Who to pick out of Arnautovic vs Ramsey vs Tadic for remaining 2 GWs, given their likelihood of starts, form and fixtures?

    1. DDD909
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Im leaning towards Arnie but in the same boat!!

  14. weaver93
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Already done a -4. for Lukaku & Willian to Jesus & Sterling

    Is another hit a good idea from Barnes- J Ayew?????

    Thanks guys

  15. MallettMan
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Salah to Sterling to switch back in gw38?

    Shall I keep Son this week? TC on Kane

  16. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    who would you keep - Vardy or Alonso? (would be Alonso & Barnes or Vardy & Mawson)
    Alonso could be a good differential as top 10k defences looking pretty weak this GW with people loading up on City attack and carrying Burnley, Leicester & Brighton defenders.
    Vardy can still score pts even if Leicester are poor - just hasn't seen the ball recently.

  17. Malinwa
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Bench Salah or not this gameweek? Subs: Ogbonna and Perez (both 2 games to play)...

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]

      No

    2. RIDZ
      • 7 Years

      No, find another to play Perez

  18. Malwin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Who would you TC?

    De Gea
    Smalling Kompany Mustafi
    Eriksen Son Sterling Willian
    Jesus Kane Ayew

    Hennessey Morgan Cork Tarkowski

    Chasing 20 points in ML.
    Rival got atleast Sterling Son Eriksen and Jesus (prolly no Kane) and playing BB.

    1. Lord_Bendtner
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Kane

  19. Lord_Bendtner
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    A) Son+Vardy -> Arnie + Kane -8
    B) Son -> Eriksen -4
    C) Willian + Vardy -> Tadic + Kane -8
    D) Downgrade Azpi to get Kane in?
    E) Kenedy -> Arnie/Ramsey/Tadic -4

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Never thought I would ask this, but Ayew or Austin?

    1. Neville& Sons
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      I'm toying with the idea of Ayew

    2. Ten Season Wonder
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Saints will be more fired up to score so, Austin

  26. Jolly Good
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Best mid under 5.5?
    Was thinking Matt Ritchie ... Shelvey also interesting .. any other ideas?

  27. G Banger
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Anyone help with the following?

    Son to Arni or Pogba for -4?

    Or stick?

    1. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Stick

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Stick. I'm possibly doing William to Pogba for -4 and keeping Son.

  28. johnom
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Rashford + Silva

    Jesus + Tadic
