Eden Hazard’s 20-point haul in Gameweek 5 has left the Scoutcast team in shock.

For David and Joe, the Chelsea man’s fine early-season form has seen them fire up their Wildcards as they look to rip up their teams to accommodate him.

Az is still without the Belgian but is more than a little concerned he will miss out on another monster score.

Andy, meanwhile, has been left reeling from a fine score of his own, having already swooped for the winger prior to his hat-trick against Cardiff.

In this gimmick-free Scoutcast, the team go back to basics as they ponder the “essential” status of Hazard as well as the other key Fantasy issues of the week posed by the community.

This includes a look at the array of talent in the Wolves defence, the exceptional value offered by Bournemouth’s midfield sensation Ryan Fraser and pinpointing teams’ vulnerabilities.

Elsewhere, benching issues take centre stage in our “rough with the smooth” round-up and the team also find time to consider the best differentials and likeliest clean sheets in Gameweek 6.

    Why are there so many priests at the United game?

    Sane into the crowd. Well, where the crowd should be.

  6. The Jackal

    Is it Sane or Darren Huckerby ?

    This poor guy was meant to be on a wildcard and ended up taking a minus 80 ...

        is that guy your friend or smthn?

          He is from the art of the dive, an FPL pod.

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      At least he helped a bit with the price rises!

      i was about to link you to a comment from this morning... just realised it was you aswell

      had a listen earlier, the poor fella should have worded the email a little harder & not as if he just messed up to have any chance

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        It's really worrying if the transfers were showing as free in the summary box.

      *poor guy"

    5. MTPockets

      boo hoo

    6. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He was blatantly trying to be clever and then forgot to activate, now he is trying to lie his way out of it

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Listening to the podcast it actually sounds like a website issue. The transfers were showing as free in the summary box throughout the week.

    7. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      lmao@ twitter experts. Imagine running a pod and being too clueless to activate your wildcard. "It didnt get through" 😆 😆

    BSilva 90 minutes..

    Worth chucking him for Fraser?

    1. zelio78
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I did

    2. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      The players who played less than 90 werent rested, they were taken off because they played like crap. PLaying 90 in a game like this is positive. B.Silva will get rested in the league cup.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        B Silva was pretty poor until he moved centrally.

        I can see him starting in the middle v Cardiff tbf

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        DSilva rested for Cardiff IMO

  9. CloudSky

    What a strike by Mariano. Wondergoal!

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Brave boy taking #7. Plenty more of that needed!

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Heres to hoping.

    So my post got deleted for asking why COK3Y5MURF's post got deleted lol. Good to see FFS are taking oppression and censorship so too seriously on a FPL forum. Great freedom of speech we have here. Mods can just delete and lock comments on anything they personally don't like or don't agree with regardless of whether no rules were actually broken.

    1. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Worth getting angry about for sure

    2. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      It does take the fun out of the forum a little when you have to be careful with what you say to this extent.

    Hennesey
    Mendy - Alonso - Robertson
    Mane - Fraser - Richarlison - Hazard - Pogba
    Zaha - Aguero
    (Patricio - Ings - AWB - Bennet)

    On a WC 0,2 ITB. Any changes recommended?

    1. Zenith UK
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Drop Mendy? Doubt he'll start

      1. pjanns
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        but wont he come good again?

        1. Zenith UK
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Potentially, depends how long he is out for? Sane looked good tonight. I'm surprised that Pep has reverted to a 4 ATB system after what he did with 3 ATB last year.

  12. Laserface
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hi Lads. Do you reckon this team needs wildcarding ? Got 1 FT and 0.3 itb

    Patricio
    Mendy Alonso TAA AWB
    Salah Hazard Lingard Kante
    Kun Firmino

    Bench : Hamer , Ings , Schneiderlin , Peltier

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Kante and Firmino to a 7mill striker and upgrade the midfielder and you are good to go

    2. The Mandalorian
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No you have most of the key players folk are wcing in. Lingard to Fraser. Next week Firmino to Mitro and Kante to Richarlison.

  13. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Mkhi to Fraser for free?

    1. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Good move. Nice freeing up of funds too.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Of course

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Definitely.

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years

  14. Zenith UK
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Repost; (WC);
    Ederson, Patricio
    AWB, Bennett, Alonso, Laporte, Robbo
    Hazard, Pogba*, Moura, Richarlison, Fraser
    Lacazette, Arnautovic, Wilson

    Leaves 2.3M in the bank.
    * Had Pogba in the wings pre GGA

    1. Zenith UK
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Follow up;
      Can swap Moura to Eriksen, leaves 0.4M
      Can swap Laca back to Aguero, leaves 0.5M
      Can swap Laporte, Ozil & Laca to Shaw, Ozil & Aguero, leaves 0.1M

    4 loses in a row for City in the Champions League.

    1. n-doggg
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Pep out.

    2. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Fraudiola exposed again.

  16. Robin Cook
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    How good/bad did Sterling play tonight?

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Not good but not the worst.

    2. Oven Glover
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Good enough to deserve a rest at the weekend.

    3. Jack Frost
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      " stalled, with the forward said to be asking for a weekly salary of £220,000 ".... yeah, I would say STALLED.

  17. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Poor. No sparkle at all tonight from City. Painting by numbers.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Missing de Bruyne.

  18. Monkey Hanger
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Watched the City match and recorded the Utd one.

    Is the Utd game worth a watch?

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

      Probably just watch highlights

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers.

  19. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Lindelof 4.9m
    1st choice United CB

    Possible mendy replacement?

    1. Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Smalling more nailed.

    2. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Shaw a better pick imo.

  20. hannibalos
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Sane essential :p

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I wish

      1. hannibalos
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Have to admit though that he was very lively and gave spark

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 11 months ago

          If Mendy's out longer term I'd take the gamble.

  21. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Banker acca of Bayern, Man City, Real Madrid, Juventus and Man Utd bust.

  22. el polako
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Shame that Asensio was unlucky with his "no look shot" would have been goal of the round.
    What a player !

    1. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Balotelli did that in a friendly and Mancini subbed him 3 seconds later.

  23. bitm2007

    81 points in Uefa Fantasy CL, how have the rest of you who are playing done ?

    1. Goalosaurus
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      61 points

    2. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      85 here

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      85

  24. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Manchester City are the first English team to lose four consecutive Champions League matches in the competition's history.

  25. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Who should I transfer out first?

    A) DDG
    B) Tarkowski (benched)

  26. Pompel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Bilva -> Pogba worth a hit for this GW?
    Pogba's stats not bad also

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      knee jerk ?

      1. Pompel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Well, Bilva not exactly producing much returns. I expect Pogba to fare better than Bilva, and no rotation fears

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No

    3. Jack Frost
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      wait for the price drop, if you do.. maybe he's starting to fire.

  27. robert1116336
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Zaha or Mitrovic over the next few weeks?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha is doing it all on his own with mazy runs so i favour mitro as he has more attacking support

      1. Bluth Banana
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I find it weird that Zaha's ability to do this in a way becomes an argument against picking him.

    2. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Don’t think you can go wrong either way.

  28. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    74 pts in UCL fantasy.

    You?

    1. Pinturicchio10
      7 years, 11 months ago

      If I played I would have got at least 75.

    2. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Nice. Just posted myself below. Respectable score that and well above average. I’m sure there was a high % of Ronaldo cappers.

      I got 81 (would’ve been 82 although I did a manual sub to ring Walker in).

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yes, that red card was great for us non owners 😀

    3. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      85

    4. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      72pts here...City letting me down bigtime!!

    5. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      85

    6. Dušan Citizen
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Well done u 2 with 85

  29. Zladan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    81 points in FCL.

    Standouts:
    Messi 28
    Isco 8
    Alaba 9
    Marcelo 9
    Nagatomo (cheapie) 6

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      My defence got 34 points combined and rest of the team (mid and attack) 5 points including captain

      1. Zladan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Mine also got 34. Kimmich 5 Walker 1 Olsen 4.

        Did you (c) Ronaldo?

        1. Silecro
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Yes hahah.

          Roberto,Akanji,Marcelo,Blind,Ishmaily

          1. Zladan
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            That’s just bad luck. Especially considering Ronaldo’s red was never a red... and Pjanic scores 2 penalties.

            Of course they might not have gotten those penalties had he stayed on. But you get me.

            1. Silecro
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Yeah, sincerely hope that all of the bad luck for this week was spent today, i dont mind it here in UCL, but will be absolutely furious if my cap gets red at the weekend

      He needs a new dealer

    4. Pinturicchio10

      Lemsip is a PED. Ban Salah for life.

      Explains the water bottle incident. Probably ran out of capsules.
