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.

    Interesting how Hazard was attacking down the right (Liverppol's left). Wonder if Sarri has learnt from the West Ham game where the Hanners blocked the left hand side

    1. diesel001

      *Hammers

      Hazard vs Moreno... why wouldn't he be out right.

    3. doublyG

      Different formation. He has a free role today behind the donkey

    4. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Only because its Moreno, he wont have this much freedom against Robertson

    5. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Just a disastrous sub to take off Mane and replace with Henderson, who does nothing for Moreno and is losing his sh1t

      1. doublyG

        • 13 Years

        You can rationalise it all you want about Liverpool's decisions. The reality is Hazard came on and changed the game

        1. Pacer.
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          What are you talking about, what do you think my agenda is. Rationalising???
          Hazard had Moreno and Lovren to best instead of Robertson and VVD. Mane and been doing good defensive work in front of them. It was an awful game

          Again, I own Hazard, what's your point?!?

          1. Pacer.
            • 11 Years

      Just in case West Ham score again, they will have 9. Or NINE for the visually or numerically impaired.

          I'm really not that intelligent.

            No (kidding).

              You use brackets in a passive-aggressive manner.

                Got carried away with the bracket gag 🙁

        What about the French?

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          That's eNEUF

        2. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          NEUF is confusing for the French. In old French it means new and that makes no sense in a football score. Stick with 9-0 for Francophone or, preferably, teach them English.

  17. Maddamotha

    Maybe I should do Mane>Haz then..

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard will be up against a completely different defence.

      Could well pay off, though. He's certainly the one in form.

  18. Messsiaah
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Mane to Hazard for -8?
    Or just wc?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      You're being ripped off if it costs you -8

      1. Messsiaah
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        This move will take -4. But already on -4

    Out of the Arsenal game.

    1. Hazz
