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risks and plummeting form to deal with, the Scoutcast crew’s Fantasy Premier League teams are in danger of becoming out of date.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

    Patricio
    TAA* Alonso Mendy
    Salah Hazard* Richarlison Maddison Fraser
    Aguero Mitro

    Hamer; Bennett Wan Bis Kamara

    1FT and 1.1itb

    Save or get Robertson in for a hit?

    1. Kanga roo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Save

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

      Debating exactly the same.....edging towards yes to Robertson for a hit

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

        Problem is where to shave the 0.2 to make it happen. Can’t get rid of Fraser this week as he has Fulham...

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

          Patricio to Alisson is your other option for a FT

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

            Thought about that one too. Would hurt as just brought in Pat last week! Also I’d be stuck with TAA... I think there’s better value in a 4.5/4.5 keeper rotation (Pat/Fab or Ryan/Fab)

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

      No I’d save. Cardiff are having a go and scoring goals

    Is Trippier still nailed for next gw?tha

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

      this comment is 3 years old?

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

        And still relevant 🙂

  3. wildnothing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Gtg? 1 ft

    Alisson
    TAA Mendy Doherty
    Kenedy Hazard (v) Salah (c) Sterling
    Agüero Mitrovic Jimenez

    Bench: 4.0 - Balbuena AWB Murphy

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

      Yep easy save

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

    3.9 & Moura to Robertson & Kenedy (for a -4)

    Would then rotate Kenedy & Doherty (3-4-3 / 4-3-3)

    Thoughts?

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

      I do quite like that

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

    Change of approach...

    Best one week defender punt for 6.1or less?

    They will become Mendy the following week

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

      VVD

    2. Kanga roo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Harry M

    3. Takamba
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      VVD or Rudiger

    4. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Chilwell

    5. Goat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Vvd

  6. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    What do you think about these moves for a hit?

    Kane, Fraser —>>> Ings, Salah (C)

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

      Hmm Ings stats have nosedived. Good moves if you have a plan to move Ings on again in the near future

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I know its just that its the only decent striker I can affoard. 5.6 max price.
        Plan is to rotate him.

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

      Rather Jimenez over Ings. Not sure this is the week to get rid of Fraser tho...

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Not sure about that either mate. But i guess it could pay of with the armband on Salah.

    3. Kanga roo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I think Ings stats will come back in light of easier fixtures. Good luck

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers mate, thank you!

  7. Big Sam Time
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    So moving into this weekend this is my team, and iv 1 free transfer, im wantin salah but to do that id have to take a -4 is it worth it? Not to mention what 2 players do i swap out?

    Patricio
    Bellerin, robertson, laporte
    Hazard, kdb, erikson, Gudmundsson
    Aguero, ings, lacazette

    Bench, hamer, bennett, awb

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Laca + KDB > Salah + Arnie ?

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

      Who's Bench? 😛

      But it's gotta be Eriksen out

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

      Eriksen has to go.

      Who is your 5th mid currently?

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

      Eriksen to Salah and Laca to Arnie unless you can afford 1st move by downgrading Bellerin.

  8. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    So Salah soon back to 13.0 i guess.

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

      Never in doubt.

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah same here but keept Mane too for hard fixtures and drop in ranks.

  9. myteamissheeeeeeeet
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Any advice welcome please.

    Kane & Fraser to Ings & Salah.

    Or

    Kane & Maddy to Lacazette & Mane.

    I’ll have to the second one tonight due to price rise!!!

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

      Definitely the first one

  10. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    What’s the current thought on Bobby vs Vardy?

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

      Bobby this week. Leicester fixtures look tasty

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

      Can see why some would have Vardy, but I'm not touching either this season I think

  11. S3
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Sterling and Rich to:
    1. Salah (C) and Kennedy (-8)
    2. Mane and Maddison (-8)

    1. Kanga roo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Not for me.

    2. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Minus 8 eh?

    3. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      None

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

      No

    5. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling to Mane if anything.

    6. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      -8 too steep for me.

  12. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    In the last 5 games Gomez has played 360 minutes(4 games) and TAA has played 96 minutes(1 game and 6 minutes).
    In the last 3 games Gomez has played 270 minutes and TAA has played 96 minutes.

  13. Dr Van Nostrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah fastest pool player to 50 goals by a mile. Beats some company

  14. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Absolutely stuck this week on what to do
    My current team is:
    Patricio/ Foster
    Robertson/ Alonso/ Trippier/ AWB/ Doherty
    Hazard/ Richarlison/ Maddison/ Fraser/ Jorginho
    Aguero/ Lacazette/ Mitrovic
    1.9 ITB
    2FT

    After Salah's double I feel I should get him in for Cardiff game but for who? Or do I leave it and hope he blanks?

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

      Tricky mate! Trying to get my around it!

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

      if haz is out will make it easier, would still need to downgrade one of aguero/lacca/alonso/trippier ?

      1. Wolfman180
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        With 1.9 ITB I can actually swap Hazard for Salah and still have 0.3 left over

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

          so a case of haz v salah for you this week, i have both, salah cap for me
          we prob wont get a deffo in or out news on haz. probably be ^late fitness test or something^
          some times the pressers unfortunately give nothing away
          go with your gut feeling

  15. Ange Ball
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    1. Gizzachance

      7 years, 5 months ago

    7 years, 5 months ago

    Laca or Arnie?

    1. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Laca short term Arnie long term

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

        What about medium term? 😆

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

    41 points yesterday, 43 today. Could well have broken into the top 1k.

  19. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Glad Salah got his goals midweek instead of this weekend v Cardiff.

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

      just warming up

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

    Bottomed!

    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!

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

      Haz

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

      good to go mane (c) depends on haz news

    3. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Mane for me.

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

      Thank you all!

      I am totally between Haz and Mane, in fact.

      Cheers

  21. JELLYFISH
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Kane , Rich > Salah, Arnie for a hit

    Yes/No?

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

      No

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

      I think I would do that, yes

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

      wouldn't sell Rich for a hit

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Fraser, Rich and Mane are the options. Think it would be nuts to swap out Mane

    4. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I don’t like taking hits but I’d do this

  22. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Moura and Sterling to Salah and Schurle?

  23. Dr Van Nostrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Fabinho was a beast tonight 9 tackles. Should be 1st choice soon

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

    thoughts
    play one with mendy and robbo
    A pereia v wham (h)
    B yedlin v sou (a}
    C jonny v bri (a)
    thoughts appreciated, cheers

  25. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Would you rather sell B.Silva (tot, SOU) or Richarlison (mun, BHA)?

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

      Bilva. Kevin is back.

      1. Lyonnais
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        thx, makes sense!

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

      Bilva

  26. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Wondering whether to go Shaqiri in for BSilva over Maddison 😆

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

      Very short term.

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

    Salah and Richarlison -> Mané and KDB is mighty tempting

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hardly

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

        Would also allow me to upgrade TAA to Robbo...

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I have KDB but no guarantee he'll start. Keep Salah is easily the best captain option

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

      😉 Okay... Do it your way, and get Mané asap before he drops!

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

    Don’t know whether to get Lacazette or Aubameyang? Thoughts?

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

      Neither hard fixtures upcoming.

  29. vardys party
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ryan (button)
    Mendy Robertson Alonso Balbuena (Bennett)
    Schurle Salah Hazard (Neves Kayal)
    Arnautovic Aguero Mitrovic

    Rate my wildcard team?

  30. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ryan
    Alonso Robertson TAA
    Hazard (c) KDB Knockaert Kenedy
    Agüero Vardy Mitrovic

    Patricio Richarlisom Bennett AWB

    £1.1m itb 1FT.

    Thoughts?

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

      Bottomed. Sound.

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

      What is your Hazard backup plan?

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

        I don’t have one...
        Maybe Haz to Salah and downgrade TAA.

      2. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Or Haz to Mané.
