Scoutcast Episode 269 – Eggs

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.

    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.

        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.
