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.

    1. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years

    2. #FPLBhuna

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

        Moura was undropable this time last week 😮

        1. #FPLBhuna
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I know I felt he was but not so confident anymore

      Lloris
      Trippier Vertonghen Toby Rose
      Dier Dembele

    No doubt about it....got to get Hazard.....back to his best....FPL Gold

  10. The Mandalorian
    • 14 Years

    That moment when Poch tells Tripper you won't be playing in the EPL for a while

  11. THE Wild Rover
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    One week only

    K Long, Sterling, Jiménez
    or
    Bennett, B Silva, Lacazette

    Ta:)

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

      Kevin Long?

      Second option.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Long not nailed?

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

          No minutes when Tark and Mee are available.

          1. THE Wild Rover
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Fail by me, Long was meant to be Taylor 😳

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

              Same answer 🙂

              Would expect returns from all 3, with good minutes for Bilva.

              1. THE Wild Rover
                • 16 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                Thanks. That’s where I’m at. A bit worrying looking at other replies based on Long 🙂

    2. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      The 1st one

    3. MTPockets
      7 years, 11 months ago

      first one

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

      B Silva not nailed so the second one 😉

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        One week only. Surely he starts

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

          Yeah, nailed for this weekend.

  12. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Too radical for a WC team ?

    4.5 4.0
    TAA Doherty Yedlin AWB Bennett
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Fraser 4.4
    Kun Kane Mitro

    Going cheapie at the back. WOL has decent fixtures for next 4 weeks while NEW has great fixtures until year end

    1. FPL Mentor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Ive done same below. Liking it with the Big 4 and wolves at the back.

    2. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Keep an eye on press conference, saw rumours on here earlier that Doherty may have picked up an injury but no reliable source as yet.

  13. Limbo
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    the road to success is to just F**king blast it.

  14. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Spurs to lose pens

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

      Biro or Fountain?

    2. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Incorrect

  15. THE Wild Rover
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Crapoue

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I was going with Capoo

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

    Shite pen.

  17. FPL Mentor
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    RMT - We good to go?

    Hart
    Trippier Doherty Bennett
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Fraser
    Kane(C) Aguero Jiménez

    Hamer / AWB / Billing / Bednarek

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Fairly similar to my wc team

      Jimenez, Tripp compared to Mitro, cheapo

  18. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    realistically speaking, spurs have far much better odds of winning the premier league as compared to the UCL. Can't really see the rationale of completely barring trippier from featuring in PL games when it is common knowledge that spurs can't and won't win the champions league.

    1. Jules Rimet
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      there is money to be made in advancement.

    2. Brehmeren
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I strongly disagree with this. I think they have a much better chance of winning the champions league than the PL.

      1. Brehmeren
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        And don't get me wrong. I don't think they will win the champions league lol.

      2. BIind Moth
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I thought the same and just checked the odds on Bet365. Tottenham to win the Prem 40/1, Tottenham to win UCL 50/1

        1. Brehmeren
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Well, I just think it's a lot easier to get a lucky draw and get to the semis for instance, than it is beat Man City or Liverpool over a season.

      3. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yep. CL is still effectively a knockout competition and doesn't require the same level of consistent excellence as winning a top league. A kind draw and some clever game management in a few ties and you're in with a chance.

        1. Do I Not Like Orange
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          *CF Liverpool 2005

    3. Brehmeren
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Also, they should be capable of beating hud and Car without Trippier, where as Barcelona will be a different cup of tea.

    4. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      They haven’t got a chance of winning anything...

  19. Hits from the Bong
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I wasn’t sure what to do until tonight. But it’s Moura to Hazard isn’t it?

    Hart Hamer
    Alonso Robertson Doherty AWB Peltier
    Salah Mane Moura Fraser Neves
    Aguero Wilson Ings

    £4m ITB

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Mane to Richarlison
      Wilson to Kane

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

        would you back that for a -8?

      2. Hits from the Bong
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Ffs I’d just about made my mind up then. I do think after tonight Moura’s position is looking more and more vulnerable, while Hazard is looking more essential.

      3. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Wilson to outscore kane..

    2. RÏɠBY
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      or richardlson
      or maddison..

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

    Difficult to bench one...

    A) Alonso
    B) Robbo
    C) AWB

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      C easy

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

        Not that easy. He’s a baps magnet

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

        A and B both wont keep a clean sheet C has the best chance tbh

    2. RÏɠBY
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      c

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

    Spurs through!

    Gazza Spurs' hero once again.

  22. Woy of the Wovers
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    4-2 is convincing enough

  23. RÏɠBY
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    seems yoga doesn't improve your penalty taking skills
    spuds through

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

    Alli wins it.

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

      Gazza technically

  25. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Getttttt innnn spurssssss

    Bloody ell..

  26. nkhoughton
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Who's the best defender to replace Mendy?

    Alonso is my other prem def

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Trippier

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

      Trippier. Especially if Aurier is out.

  27. The Pesci challenge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    When’s the cup draw?

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Sat

  28. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    What do we reckon? Trippier gets HUD and Barca and Walker-Peters gets CAR?

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

      Trippier all 3 if Aurier is out.

      1. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        This

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Nah Trippier gets all. Cardiff comes after the break

      1. MTPockets
        7 years, 11 months ago

        nope

      2. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Before*

      3. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        No it doesn't. 7 days apart league games

    3. Yoshioka
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Trippier off early for KWP if they're doing well against HUD and CAR.

    4. MTPockets
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Something like that. Everyone's using the crap-team argument to justify Kane, so if we're being consistent that justifies Trippier rotation.

    5. FPLShaqiri
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      How bad was the Aurier injury?

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Hobbled off is all I know will have to wait for Presser...

  29. Yoshioka
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Moura out for Richarlison for a hit, or just wait a week until my WC?

  30. BIind Moth
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Did anyone watch the Spurs game? Just wondering how Son looked?
