With fresh rotation risks and plummeting form to deal with, the Scoutcast crew’s Fantasy Premier League teams are in danger of becoming out of date.

In this week’s episode, Joe, David and Az are joined by new regular Luke, who has stepped in for Andy, to cast their collective eye over the current Fantasy trends.

Joe is in search of the latest backline look as he seeks to dump his decidedly unfashionable defence.

Az’s midfield is looking more like mutton dressed as lamb these days and is in urgent need of a make-over.

Meanwhile, grey is the new black for David as he reveals his extra special overall rank following the last set of games.

Elsewhere, Luke’s success in Gameweek 9 shows he is ahead of the curve on the transfer catwalk, in particular with his Red or Dead defence.

Amid all the sartorial chat the crew find time to answer the key questions from the community as they window shop for bargain enablers and admire the top-price options at Manchester City.

Az’s rough with the smooth rundown features a disastrous set of hits for one former Scoutcaster.

The show is then rounded off with a close look at Gameweek 10, including the best differentials, clean sheet prospects and our transfer and captaincy plans.

    Liverpool are becoming a lot like City now. More difficult to predict their lineup

    1. micsway
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      salah, robo, vvd, allison --> untouchables

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Add Mané and Firmino

        1. micsway
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          well last weekend said otherwise...

          1. micsway
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            granted mane was injured

      2. BigBillyBass
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Aguero, KDB, Fernandinho, Ederson the only untouchables for City. So yeah v similar

  4. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Liverpool top of the group now

  5. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    If Hazard misses out at the weekend Hazard -> Salah looks a no brainer

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      dunno, it looks like one week thing at most, if that

    2. EgyptianKing
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Which 2 of those would you play this GW mates?

      Richarlison
      Holebas
      Trippier

      Thanks!

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry mate. Wanted to do a new post, not a reply. Cheers

    3. EgyptianKing
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Answering your post, I would keep Hazard. I think he’ll not be out for long at all, Hazard is still essential imo

  6. ITFC96
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hi all, team gtg?

    McCarthy (Hart)
    Dochety, Alonso, chilwell (bennett, AWB)
    Salah (C), hazard, Madison, Kennedy, Fraser.
    Aguero, Lacazette. (Joselu)

  7. DeathoftheParty
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    More of this lpool formation please...

    1. micsway
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      agree, I really like shaqiri playing in mid, adds some much attacking flare, usual mid 3 much more defensive

  8. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is Beram Kayal - £4.4 going to keep starting for BHA?

    1. McNulty
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Stephens and Propper were mainstays in that team before Stephens ban and then the Propper injury. Kayal has been playing well but usually is no goal threat at all (10 goals in nearly 300 apps just checking now) and he is almost certainly going to be behind them in the long run which would be the main reason not to get him.

    2. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Jonty says no

    3. Jules Rimet
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    4. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years

      lovren

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Liverpool needed a win like that. Yes its only Red Star blah blah blah but another CS and a confidence booster for the front 3.

    Maribor goal fests at this time last season really got them into their grove too.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      They need to start playing like today more often though, something they haven't done enough this season.

  11. gonzalocampos
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Robertson is OK, I saw him after the game greeting the players.

    Triple Liverpool it is: Robo - TAA - Salah (C)

    1. The Left Duke #3
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Ya that's how I'll be rolling too. Hopefully Lovren will come in for Gomez

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I see only two players starting vs Cardiff in that post 🙁

      1. gonzalocampos
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I see 3 lol

        1. Mysterion
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I see quadruple 😉

    3. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      That's double Liverpool for the weekend

  12. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    FT Sterling to Salah (c) looks alright now

    1. altan8797
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      same here. hope he wont be benched

  13. el polako
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    What a goal from Di Maria !

  14. Tickle Me Enzo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    How is Salah vs Mane looking in the match? Haven't been able to watch and on WC, appreciate any insights

  15. Guadlajara

  16. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Red Dead Redemption 2 & Salah Captain home to Cardiff - going to be a good weekend!

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      and I am stuck here having wasted £60 on fifa 19 which is the worst game ever created

  17. Merlinho
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I’m really struggling to work out what to do with my FT this week, I have 2 plus 0.3m ITB.

    Begovic (Hamer)
    Alonso, Mendy, Robbo, Bennett (AWB)
    Salah, Hazard, Maddison (Hojbjerg, Richarlison)
    Aguero, Mitrovic, Ings

    I know bits of my team I’d like to work on in a week or two - Ings, Begovic, Maybe Mitrovic, Alonso, Richarlison - but none of the options this week look better to bring in so I feel like I’m just throwing away either points or a transfer unless I downgrade Richarlison this week to Brooks perhaps with a view bringing in Arnautovic perhaps for Ings next week.

    Anyone else in a similar position - it feels alien to not want a transfer!

    1. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Bego to Ryan or Pat this week and Mitro to Arnie next week

      1. Merlinho
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Mitro to Arnie next week before a home game vs Huddersfield?

  18. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ciaran Clark back in training, hopefully should solidify awful NEW defense, is Yedlin place safe or should Clark come instead of him?
    Rondon also back in training

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Clark is a CB, not in competition with Yedlin.

    2. BigBillyBass
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Toon fan here. Clark is a CB but can play LB if need be. Yedlin has RB spot nailed. But honestly I wouldn’t even bother with any of our defence

      1. Silecro
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I brought him couple of weeks ago on WC when price and juicy green fixtures seduced me, now stuck with him but not keen to waste transfer on it, so just be hoping that form turns better or at least he finds himself in some att points

        1. BigBillyBass
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Clark isn’t even first choice usually so doubt he’ll play much

      2. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        As a toon fan could kenedy be a cheap option for next few weeks?

        1. BigBillyBass
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          No he’s rubbish. Avoid all Newcastle players this season. No hope for us

  19. Francescoli
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    What’s everyone’s thoughts on TAA? Will he play this weekend?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Only one man could know this and he probably doesn't even know yet.

    2. Bialystrzelec
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Probably not. Anyone seen him today?

      1. chilli con kone
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        He looked pretty wasteful on set pieces

  20. BigBillyBass
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Seems Salah is picking up a bit. First brace of the season

    1. JD @JDCochran2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He is right on target from last year's stats

      1. BigBillyBass
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Much more competition for goals in this Pool team this season so doubt he’ll hit 46 again

  21. EgyptianKing
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Which 2 of those would you play this GW mates?

    Richarlison
    Holebas
    Trippier

    Thanks!

    1. chilli con kone
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Bench Trippier

    2. Strchld
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I have excatly same issue. Right now playing Richarlison and Holebas. Trippier first on the bench.

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Tempted to do this as well

        1. Strchld
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Have TAA so its okay to get Trippier off the bench If he doesnt play.

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      If you don't play Holebas he shouldn't be in your team. Bench Trip

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I think I’ll play Holebas mate, yeah.

        Patricio
        Alonso, Robertson, Holebas
        Mane, Hazard, Sterling, Maddison, Richarlison
        Wilson, Lacazette

        Hamer, Trippier, Bissaka, Kamara

        Seem gtg?

  22. JD @JDCochran2
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Best set and leave GK for the next 8 fixtures?

    1. chilli con kone
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Fabianksi for me

      1. JD @JDCochran2
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Thinking the same. Great run of fixtures through gw 22

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

      Ryan imo

      1. AnfieldLad
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Well Ederson tbh, but at 4.5 Ryan

    3. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Ryan

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You can set n forget Ryan till the Asia Cup...back up with Button if keeping him long long term...

  23. chilli con kone
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Percentage chance of TAA starting against Cardiff in your opinion?

      50/50

  24. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah captain then?

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      no, captain walcott

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Or Robertson? 😉

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes. There is no sofa big enough.

  25. Tempestic
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Shaqiri a short term for the good run of fixtures?

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      yes he'd be a short term in your team if you got him in

  26. Jules Rimet
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Best three week midfield punt under 5.5m?

    1. chilli con kone
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Kennedy, or Murphy if you can bench him this weekend

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Billing or Camarasa. Billing probably.

    3. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Delufleu

  27. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    When you own 5 of the top 6 in the captain poll.. red arrow incoming!

  28. janowsc
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    What are fellow Hazard owners doing? Shame his back's acting up.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Have to keep and hope he plays.. too much value tied up to sell

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Nothing.

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Waiting for pressers. I've just made my 2 FTs, but if he's out I'll trigger my WC a week early. Not concerned

    4. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I have a good bench this week so will keep even if out this week.

    5. Scanlon94
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It is only a slight back issue, rested tomorrow and should be fit to play on Sunday, most definitely not worth selling him with the value tied up in him, even if he wasn’t to play a full 90 mins on Sunday I still wouldn’t sell him

  29. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Anybody TCing Salah this weekend? Hit form at the right time with 3 in has last 2. Liverpool could be starting to click now

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Better option would be Fulham in 2 weeks. Regardless would save it for a DGW

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Sure. DGW always but just putting the feelers out!

  30. EgyptianKing
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Can I have your thoughts on this team for this GW please? Captain choice as well?

    Patricio
    Alonso, Robertson, Holebas
    Mane, Hazard, Sterling, Maddison, Richarlison
    Laca, Wilson

    Hamer, Trippier, Bissaka, Kamara

    Cheers!
