Scoutcast Episode 270  – Dancing

The Scoutcast crew take up dancing this week in a desperate bid to figure out which of the many strong performing heavy-hitters they can squeeze into their teams.

Joe and Andy are looking to adapt the hokey-cokey, with the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sergio Aguero dropping out, then back into, their teams to briefly accommodate Harry Kane.

Az has gone one step further from merely putting the Spurs striker in and Liverpool winger out and has decided to wiggle his whole team about with a Wildcard.

Meanwhile, David is less ambitious on the dancefloor and is looking to instead dad-dance to a low-key goalkeeper cha-cha-cha.

Each of these moves, including a close look at Az’s Wildcard, are detailed via the community’s questions when we tackle this week’s key talking point, player and teams.

The crew also find time to quick-step through the community’s roughest and smoothest recent transfers and foxtrot across Gameweek 8’s best differentials and likeliest clean sheets.

    Thoughts on this as a WC team?

    Foster
    Robertson, Alonso, Bennett, Trippier
    Hazard, Knockaert, Mane,
    Kane, Jiminez, Aguero

    Subs: Wan B, Schneirderlin, Stephens

    Help please gents

    I have Auba in another fantasy format and I'm in the running for a smart phone prize in a GW 3-11 competition (60th and 29 points behind atm).

    Should I just get rid of him or hope he
    gets better by Sunday? (I was planning to do Walcott to Knockaert before Emery's presser.)

    Which is the best striker to get for the next four GWs outside of the top 6 teams? (can't afford Kane/Lukaku and not 100% sure about Laca)

    (FTs don't roll over and no hits so a FT is valuable)

    DDG
    Tripp Alonso Doherty
    Haz (c) Walcott Maddison Fraser
    Salah Kun *Auba

    Have Kane, Aguero and Hazard as my big 3.

    Need to get rid of Alli.

    Is this a good transfer?

    Alli+Aguero to Arnie+Salah(-4)?

    Aguero and Salah play each other, so it makes little difference IMO.

    Thanks.

        That's also an option. But Kane has higher bonus potential than Salah and more nailed on than Aguero.

    Have you ever felt stuck in FPL ? I mean, knowing that your team isn't strong enough for the coming Gameweek, but somehow out of ressources to fix it. Usually this is the time when I play my Wildcard, but the trap is bigger this year because I feel like Gameweek 8 is a terrible time to play the Wildcard, since most of the players I want now have just short term good fixtures. I will most definitely play my Wildcard in Gameweek 10, but until then it's like hoping for the best, trying to do some damage control. I felt this way last Gameweek and ended up with 51 pts, falling down from 15k to 31k OR. Here's how my team looks for Gameweek 8 :

    Hart
    Alonso Trippier Lowton
    Salah Mané Richarlison Fraser
    Aguero Zaha Wilson

    Bench : Wan-Bissaka Tomkins Ward Foster

    1FT £2.1

    Of course, what I fear most is Kane and Hazard outscoring Salah and Mané just like in GW8. But now, I fear it even more because none of my big hitters are good captain options while both Kane and Hazard are decent shouts. That's why I feel that I need at least one of them. Fortunately, I have some money in the bank so I don't have to take a hit. If I ditch, for example, Aguero for Kane or Mané for Hazard, my team will look stronger and relying on a more powerful captain, but still not as good as many teams I see around. That's why I feel trapped, even a logical FT don't seem to allow my team to come close to those top current FPL teams. Basically, a Salah haul could save me because most of these top teams don't have him, but I'm getting more and more nervous about the egyptian as the week goes to be honest.

    Any thoughts on this, or any ideas that I didn't considered myself ?

    Team looks absolutely fine, I have Kane fear this week too but I can't get him so without an obvious alternative going to try and save a FT. If I was in your position I'd switch Mané for Haz as I would want that change long term anyway, especially if I was keeping Salah (which I would). Then you have a decent captaincy option this week too. GL!
