Investing heavily in Chelsea and Liverpool has proved a successful strategy for many this season. But with these two title contenders going head to head in Gameweek 7, is this ‘eggs in one basket’ tactic about to come unstuck?
David, Andy and Az join me to discuss the best strategy for dealing with these tricky ties when so many highly owned players are squaring up against each other.
We also consider the merits of bringing in the likes of Everton talisman Richarlison (£6.6m) and Arsenal’s newly sure-starting striker Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m), as they answer the community’s questions.
Tapping into Spurs’ fine fixture run, and in particular, the improving form of Harry Kane (£12.4m), is also on the bill. But will Andy’s ambitious plan to swoop for the Tottenham forward leave him with egg on his face?
Elsewhere, the Scoutcast crew look at Gameweek 7’s likeliest clean sheets and best low-owned gems, reveal their plans for the next set of matches and laugh and cry at some of the community’s roughest and smoothest recent transfers.

5 years, 8 months agoEvening all,
Only fielded 10 last week so need to sort my bench. Contemplating a -4 Mendy, Mane & Kamara OUT -> Trippier, Maddison & Mitrovic IN.
Next 5 fixtures in mind for the guys coming in, wildcard still in hand.
Should I just do Mane & Kamara? Worried about Dilva getting rested. Thoughts welcomed, cheers.
Fabianski
Alonso - Robertson - Wan-Bissaka - Doherty
Salah - Dilva - Richarlison - Mane
King - Aguero
Foster - Mendy - Schneiderlin - Kamara
