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.

    I don’t see much Rashford love here.

    Lukaku out at least 1 game. People concerned Martial could start until front instead?

    Eriksen / Pogba / Mkhi / Sterling / Arnie

    0.3 ITB.

    Only concerns would be Davies not starting both GWs (have the funds to upgrade to Vert) and Mkhi not starting both.

    Thing is even thought Arsenal are out of the Europa, Ramsey surely won't play both games? His last 6 he's played 0 / 90 / 0 / 0 / 90 / 0! Surely Tadic is more reliable in a team kind of hitting form with something to play for??

      I'm thinking of taking a 12 point hit for the following transfers:

      1) Bailly to Vertonghen
      2) Christensen to Otamendi
      3) Mahrez to Arnautovic
      4) Willian to Ramsey
      5) Vardy to Jesus

      Of the players I'm taking out, I would expect Vardy to play both games and maybe also Mahrez. The other three, I would expect to play 90 mins each at most.

      I am expecting four of the players I'm bringing in to play both games. The obvious rotation risk is Ramsey but I think he has a high potential upside for his potential upside for his price and could be a nice differential.

      Do people think these changes look sensible even though they are costing 12 points?

          Agree that that's the risky one. Problem is that getting Ramsey for Willian frees up 0.2m which allows me to do the other four transfers.

          One option is to get Tadic instead of Ramsey as others have suggested. Problem with that is that my third striker is Austin.

        Big dilemma for me is Ramsey v Tadic.

        Ramsey's mins over the last 6 games have been 0 / 90 / 0 / 0 / 90 / 0.

        Tadic is guaranteed 180 mins, is on form and plays for a team that's kind of hitting form and has something to play for.

        Tadic for me I think unless someone talks me out of it.

          Yep, I can see Ramsey playing only one of the two games this DGW, however I think he has the potential to go big in the game he does play. Equally though, I don't think Willian will play 120 mins this gameweek and Chelsea are hardly brimming with goals at the moment.

          I also prefer Arsenal's final day fixture to Chelsea's.

        What if Ramsey and whole Arsenal team lose their spirit after losing tonight. I dont think overall its worth it. Bringing Jesus is good, same foor Vertonghen but -12 for all 5 seems too much. If You have Kane as the other striker cant you somehow bring in Jesus for your other striker ?!

          Yep, Arsenal's morale may be an issue after tonight, although I'm only considering bringing Ramsey in because they've got knocked out as I think Wenger's less likely to rest him now.

          My third striker is Austin taking him out for Jesus needs me to free up a lot more cash elsewhere and severely restricts my options as a result.
