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.

          1. Waltomade
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            sorry this was for the post below regarding Silva

      2. Waltomade
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        2 city

        1. Geezer
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I would like Eriksen or another city mid

  2. Geezer
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Dilva or Pogba?

    1. Waltomade
      • 8 Years

      Pogback

    2. Pickled and Preserved

        el pog

  3. pablo discobar
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    On bench boost,

    Is Chambers nailed on now Kosc is injured?

    Very tempted with Gundogon at 5.4. He`s got a lot of game time of late, I look at him the same as Ramsey minutes wise.

    Thoughts on these two?

    Thanks

    1. Pickled and Preserved
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No idea on chambers, but I'm convinced Gundogan will be rotated/benched

  4. vopemartin
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who score more most?
    KdB the most likely player for city not to get rotated?

    Kane, Eriksen, Gundogan/Fernandinho
    Kane, KdB, Matic

    thank u

    1. Pickled and Preserved
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure about the question. Fernandinho instead of Gundogan, kdb most nailed, yes

  5. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I voted for Jesus in the captain poll last week but ended up going Kane! Dont think the same thing will happen this week though. Those fixtures for City are just too juicy!

    1. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I usually ask myself. What would TM do. But in this case it’s difficult. City better fixture and could be a goalfest, but Kane nailed and going for golden boot

  6. Pickled and Preserved
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Last headache could really use some advice:
    Willian ->
    A) Arnautovic
    B) D.Silva
    C) Alli
    D) Sane

    Have Kane/Jesus/Sterling already. Thank you thank you, and best of luck!

    1. vopemartin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I would go Alli>Silva(cus of gametime)>Sane>Arnie

    2. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sane

  7. Weeb Kakashi
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    DDG
    Vertonghen Valencia Danilo
    Hazard Sane Son Gross
    Kane(TC) Jesus Ayew

    This is the team i get after the following moves.

    Barnes+ Duffy + Mahrez > Sane Ayew Danilo(-4)

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      7 years, 7 months ago

      Arnie

  10. Neo-Viper

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I think so, yes.

    2. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yep.

      I had Lukaku, but swapped for Jesus and now have Pog and DDG only.

    3. Chucky

    Smalling Morgan Lowton
    Salah Dsilva Sterling Gudmundsson
    Kane Vardy Jesus

    Hennessey Yedlin Long Kenedy

    I have 2 Free Transfers - thoughts on what to do ? .1ITB

    Gudmundsson >
    Morgan >
    Vardy > ??

    1. JD @JDCochran2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Salah out? Problem is everyone in my league has Salah want to hold as protection

      Vardy out to Ayew gives me money to upgrade Morgan to Davies

  15. Sol

    1FT
    LIoris
    Lowten Smalling Chilwell
    Willians Lingard Sterlling Son
    jesus Kane Barnes
    (Grob Alonso Morgan )
    Can't do just Willans > Sane

    A) Alonso Willians Grob > Sane Pogba Van der -8
    B) Alonso Willans > van der KDB -4
    C) Alonso Willians Barnes > Van der KDB Ayew -8
    D) Other Suggestions
    Cheers

    1. JD @JDCochran2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Alonso should play both games

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

        Ok cheers
        How about just
        Willians Barnes > Arnie Ayew? -4

        1. JD @JDCochran2
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I agree with that..Willian might be rotated

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

            Thanks

      2. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yes. I'd definitely start Alonso over Lowton.

        The only reason Alonso hasn't played the last 3 is through suspension.

  16. Nerazzuro
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A) Willian -> Sane
    B) Gross -> Arnie
    C) Morgan -> Laporte/Smalling

    Which of these would you do first for -4?

    1. Pickled and Preserved
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. IL Fantasista
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A

    3. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I would do them all. ABC in that order

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

        I'm doing Salah -> Sterling for my FT so these would all be for hits haha. Cant afford B or C after doing A

        1. Geezer
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          A then

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

      Funkin Inter...the derby tore my heart out. Hoping they will finish strong and earn that last spot.

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

        Pjanic staying on the field after assaulting Rafinha didn't help...

        Praying for a slip up from Lazio who are without Immobile

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

          Nor did bringing in Santon. 83' minute man...ahhh.

          Yes...or Roma for that matter. They have Juve next weekend and closer goal differential to Inter.

          Let's go boys!

  17. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Captain?

    A) Jesus
    B) Sterling
    C) Kane

    1. JD @JDCochran2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Kane on stats
      Sterling on form
      Jesus as probably won't be rested

  18. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    It's going to be awkward when your captain scores a hattrick, but because many others have triple captained, it ends up worsening your rank.

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Lol

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      It was the opposite for you when you used your TC chip though.

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

        Haha, mine didn't score a hattrick 🙁

  19. IL Fantasista
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Christensen and Willian OUT to:

    A. Vert & Arnie

    B. Mawson & Pogba

    1. JD @JDCochran2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Davies and Arnie?

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

      A

    3. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A

  20. niloh1
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    and christensen. Obviously I want to get rid of them all, but I don't want to take a -16 point it, since I already did 2 transfers. Which of the following 2 would you do?? or would you just do 1 transfer?

    a) barnes to jordan ayew
    b) willian to ramsey (or arnie if arsenal go through)
    c) morgan to mawson
    d) christensen to vert/ bdavies

  21. FC Hakkebøf
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    How many games do you think B Mendy will play out of the last 3 (substituions included)?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Substitutions**

    2. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No starts. He'll come on in the last 20 minutes once, maybe twice.

      Translation: I wouldn't go there, personally.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Need match fitness to be considered for the wc.. but you might be right. What is your take on Chambers, Lindelof and Aurier/Trippier

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

          Can you stretch to Otamendi? 0.1 more expensive than Mendy.

          Vertonghen? Cheaper than Mendy, more nailed on than Aurier and Trippier. Those two have literally alternated since week 30 (like, Aurier starts one, then Trippier the next, then Aurier, then Trippier).

          Chambers could work out.

          Too much competition for Lindelof.

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

    Taken a -16 point hit. Feeling good.

    FFS' RMT tool says I'll be 7.25 points better off this week (after deductions), and 3.08 better off next week with my new team.

    Week 37:
    Before transfers: 90.88
    After transfers: 114.13 (-16 = 98.13)

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      It is interesting to see actual results.

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

        Yes. Also, Lukaku is given a predicted score of 7.33 for week 37. I can't see him getting that.

        They've told me to captain Jesus over Kane this week. I'm going Kane, though there's only point separating them.

        Out: Lukaku, Wood, Milivojevic, Mahrez, Morgan
        In: Jesus, J Ayew, Sane, Sterling, Lejune

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Which transfers did you do?

  23. chelseabrad
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    2 points ahead in my ML and seriously considering Salah > Eriksen for a second -4, any suggestions? On a bench boost this week

  24. Waltomade
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Pogba or Arnautovic?

    1. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pogba

    2. willl
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      one is a cdm one is a striker

      1. Waltomade
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        CM. to be exact but he plays way ahead.

  25. Rust Cohle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Madness?

    Kane & Groß > Auba/Laca & Dilva (-4)

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yup

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldnt dare

    3. Waltomade
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Never.Just get rid of Gros

      1. Rust Cohle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Only option on Groß is Tadic. I feel like it might be better to roll the FT

        1. Waltomade
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Get tadic for free.Better fixtures than Gross.

  27. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who's on pens for the Swans?

    Says Bony, Abraham in 'Set Pieces', but is it Jayew if they're not on the pitch?

    1. Root
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, J. Ayew took the pen against West Ham in GW 29

  28. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Christensen + Izquierdo -> Lejuene + Sane (-4)

  29. mixology

    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Is there city press conference tomorrow? Sorry if it’s been asked. Thanks

  30. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    any better option than vardy? other forwards are Kane and Jesus.

    I think Leiceter isn't performing and they will still have arsenal and spurs

    1. Buzzy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      your previous question mate,
      will selling Kenny + King give you enough for Kompany + Kennedy ?

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

        yes if i sell vardy to fund these

        1. Buzzy
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          what's your selling price for just Kenny + King ?

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

            their current prices 4.0+4.2

            1. Buzzy
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              ok,so you've got thought you meant Josh King - my bad.
              think you've got to downgrade Vardy to Ayew/Perez to give you enough £.
              what's your full team again ?
