The ScoutCast Episode 265 – Difference

Roll

Definitely roll. Rui will get some save points this week. Unless a real stand out keeper emerges then 4.5m keepers should be hold and forget.

Roll. Keeper points are usually fairly limited anyway and you are giving away the clean sheet in hits.

It's people like you that make me scared. Still have Cairney, don't want him to fall. He looked decent last game and has BUR. Don't see why I should ditch him until next week.

yep and now that i've binned him after wildcarding and having him last week - he's basically going to bag a brace

I feel like Sterling is highly, highly overrated.

Does anyone agree?

I think we need a few more GWs worth of data. He's 11 mill now and I'm not even sure how nailed he is bc it looks like Pep is using wingers slightly differently this season.

Highly overlooked because for me he is overpriced for someone who not nailed. If he play every week, im sure everyone will have him.

No. He is good. But there is so many cheaper options, performing.

No

11m is too much to pay for a midfielder who does not always play.
Mane and Salah are the only +9 MF's worth their pricetag atm

I'm never going to own both him and Aguero. And Aguero isn't droppable right now.

Pep wants more.

Hope so. Got him in our auction last night. Got Vardy also, deter.

Not good value. Especially compared to Mane, Richarlison, etc. Overrated definitely for England -
despite all his 'runs', the most basic stats don't lie, 2 goals in 44 caps. Not good enough for England. That's not racist, Ian Wright, that's the stats. Poor, Ian, very poor.

Hence, not good value compared to others.

Agree. He and/or Auba could rip apart many teams that have “template” WCed already.

What position sub is AWB?

no chance

ozil is more likely to be benched this week after the appalling attitude he has shown in the first two games - I strongly believe he gets benched for laca

He’s not looked good, just get Mkhi and have some funds to play with.

He could well be benched. There are a lot of good differentials at that price. Pogba, Mikhi (still a bit of a differential), Gross, Maddison etc. Ozil for me is not one.

I wouldn’t...

No way I would get him in after his display

After all Mhki is as good as Ozil for a nicer price

One to monitor for now.

Surely the new structure at Arsenal should look to reduce Ozil's wages to those of a non- league player?

Post the whole team?

A, I thought Mane would have a good season before GW1 and he is currently proving me right and Zaha is looking good at the moment.

B

Close but A

I’m currently on wc and on A. Liverpool’s next 3 and Palace’s fixtures look too good to ignore.
Not feeling Southampton at all. Although I fully expect Auba to do well, himself & Arsenal haven’t shown they’re worth investing that kind of outlay so I’ve gone with Mikhi currently.

A for me

Thanks all for opinions. So more votes for A. Also have Mkhi. But very difficult to ignore Auba. Especially as Arsenal fan 🙂

After this weekend, you'll wish you had chosen B.

I have Bailly and have been weighing the same thing up. Bellarin is a good option. So are the Spurs full backs. However, United have a good run of games coming up and when Jose takes a kicking the first thing he tends to do is sure up the back line. I would hold for the moment.

I'm getting Luiz tomorrow after team news.

I can't risk him being dropped which I think he may be due to having AWB and Dunk injured so I'm getting Pereira for a while, decent fixtures and cheaper. Then 2FT to switch out King next week.

Might as well wait.

King may also score this week, he was unlucky GW1 and also should of had that missed Pen of Wilsons.
I don't think its worth a -4 personally

Yes, In your case i'd say yes.

Nacho (I would imagine - no direct competition).

Bellerin, but expect both to be rotated at times

Who cares?

I say that because regardless of fixtures, Arsenal look awful at the back. Much better options elsewhere at the 5.5M bracket IMO.

I think....Do not go anywhere near Guendouzi in a wildcard team.

Your Dilva option looks way better to me.

Salah will do well but good chance Haz and Morata will out point Salah and king

Do you remember Morata last season? Wouldn't trust him just yet from 1 goal.

More importantly, Robbo instead of Teriyaki...

And then Hazard instead of Mane

Daniels could lose his place after this week.
personally id save the FT and keep on eye on Pedro always a chance that its him instead of William who is rotated with Hazard

I’d be getting Mané in, but if you plan to stick with Eriksen then I’d save the transfer.

Eriksen to Mhki, spend the money next week on whoever becomes a bandwagon... maybe Daniels to Trippier.

Seems like a good move, Alli could be good this year, who is your other keeper?

Stek to Hamer. Hamer is currently a playing 4m so if a last minute injury to Pat happens there are a chance of points
Bilva to Mkhi- Mkhi has nice fixtures and is doing well. has just had a price jump which is a shame.

Wildcarda

Seems much faster than last year IMO, which was very slow.

Might be more players more active this year.
fplstatistics seems to have got the algorithm right this year in contrast to last time.

You probably have lots of players doing well from the start this season as well.

A just bc I see Schlupp and Pedro being rotated

Ings or schlupp really.

A.

I think B has two options that could be rotated (Pedro, Schlupp).

A

Haha I’m in the same boat as you! I always miss his hauls, then shift things around to bring him in, only for him to blank for weeks and weeks.

Right now I want him again, but just going to avoid until I wildcard.

I'd prioritise Mendy

Big commitment to get Alonso at 6.6 if he goes on a barren patch. I'm planning on getting Mendy over Alsono though as man city look better for clean sheets.

Managed to do without him last seasons...alotta money for a def that hauls now and then.

I'm going without for now. In a similar boat where he has burned me time and time again.

I think that a Really good plan,( also you can see if Alonso keeps up form). I like your team and feel it is G2G.

GTG Beckham

Probably B

Easy. A.

Someone has to drop out to accommodate Meyer. Not sure why people are saying it's Schlupp and not McArthur.

Just swap for Dilva.

I turned him into Mkhi this week.
my Mid was Bilva,Mane,Rich,Mahez,4.5( which is blumming injured)

I used one of 2 free tf this week for Mahrez to Richarlison.

Stuck with him at the mo due to more pressing issues. Not quite sure what to do as if he goes i won't have any City attacker.

He's gone from my team after watching Trippier rob him of set pieces! That was a huge part of his appeal and now he seems considerably overpriced but time will tell!

I think from Sarri comments if he starts he will be early sub. he was saying how he isn't fully match fit yet and will be eased back.

I haven't seen Powell this season yet

I have the same dilemma. At the moment I'm thinking B. Not sure who my 4 will be. Maybe Peltier as Wolves forums suggest Bennet will make way for Dendoncker.

Mid will be the Arsenal guy or Stephens. Punt vs 2pts guaranteed.

I'm on something similar to B - 2 playing 4m defenders, and a 4.5 striker.

As one 4m defender is Wan-Bis, he'll rotate with one of my 2 5m midfielders.

Dilema.
A) although Bell may be roated occasionally

I think they will after this GW when threashold is kinder ( read Torres magic comment on how a double game week rise works)

Almost certainly, yes.
