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risks and plummeting form to deal with, the Scoutcast crew’s Fantasy Premier League teams are in danger of becoming out of date.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

    Time to bring in Mo God? Kane and Richa to Salah + Arnie with 2 Fts, good moves?

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      For free transfers definitely. I'm considering the same for a hit

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I like those moves a lot...for free even better. Wait as late as possible for Arnie presser news. Always a potential risk so not worth bringing in unless all clear

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        On the flip side Arnie prize rise likely tonight.

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          At 7.6%!?

        2. _Ninja_
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Arnie not even close to a price rise.

        3. abaalan
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          no he's not?

        4. MASTER ROSHI
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Are you sure about this?

        5. JELLYFISH
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I guess an old timer like me needs to stop using fiso and get with it with the rest of you. Sorry guys, didn't mean to mislead

    3. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Going to do same moves,yes. But wait for friday or saturday if you can, you know arnie can get injured any given day

    4. theodosios
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Mo God? He scored 2 goals against a team which is 5 times worst than Cardiff, one from non-existent penalty and playing awful whole season

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Do you ever watch football?

    5. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Just did the exact transfers mate with my 2 FT

    6. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Cheers for the responses everyone

  2. 4zim
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A) Salah and Laca
    or
    B) Mane and Auba

    I feel as though both Salah and Aubameyang are on form, but I am 0.2 short of having both. Don't think it's worth a hit to make it work to have both, but can't decide. I currently have Mane, so B would be one less transfer, but A has better expected points on the RMT feature. I'll wait until after Arsenal's game tomorrow to make the final decision to avoid injuries.

    1. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      a

    2. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A

    3. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Salah and Mané and a cheaper mid..

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Cheaper fwd*

        1. 4zim
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Who would you bring in place of Kane?

          1. 4zim
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            I guess I could do Richarlison / Kane --> Salah / Arnautovic. I just feel like Arsenal are in great form.

  3. vardys party
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

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

    Rate my wildcard team

    1. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Needs more Vardy.

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Double Fulham?

    3. elchilangles
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      maybe a cheaper defender instead of Alonso could help make the midfield a bit stronger

    4. Fantasydreamer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Very similar to my original wildcard but I have changed Ryan, Alonso, balbuena and schurrle to Allison, chilwell, Holebas and Maddison. Half tempted to swap back looking back at yours but priced out now!!!

  4. MASTER ROSHI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    With no LPool attack is it worth taking a -4 now
    Current team
    Fab (Foster)
    Robbo Alonso Doherty (AWB Hadergjonaj)
    Haz Rich Maddison Fraser (Cairney)
    Aguero Mitro Kane

    Was planning Kane > Arnie this week, only 1 FT, 1.2m ITB

    A) Just do 1 FT
    B) Cairney > Mane (-4)
    C) Rich > Salah (-4)

    1. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Kane + Richa to Arnie + Salah (-4)?

    2. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      C looks good I mean

      1. MASTER ROSHI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks, I'm massively leaning towards this

  5. oggyninho
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    RMT please. 2 FT & 0.4 ITB

    Foster (Patrício)

    TAA Mendy Alonso (Bennet AWB)

    Hazard Richarlison Mané Fraser Maddison

    Aguero Lacazette (Jiménez)

    Really want Robertson in for TAA and need to free up some funds therfore. What about TAA -> Robertson and Richarlison -> Billing this week and next week do Fraser -> De Bruyne and Lacazette -> Arnautovic for a hit?

    Opinions on these moves and do you guys reckon De Bruyne will rise before deadline? In that case I would need to find 0.1M more and might make Billing to Stephens(4.4) or just go Stephens straight away to be safe..?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Monitor his likelyhood to rise here

      fplstatistics.co.uk/Home/IndexAndroid

      1. oggyninho
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Thx, however I already knew about this site.. Kinda have too pull the trigger now since TAA could be about to drop. Very hard to predict if De Bruyne will rise I guess but I hope not too many would want him ahead of Spurs away..

  6. Bialystrzelec
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Which transfer would you prioritise? Probably after upcoming GW.

    A. Fraser, TAA > Robertson, Billing

    B. Jimenez, Robertson > Arnautovic, Billing

    1. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      a

      1. Jonny HOW SON?
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        +B doesnt make any sense

        1. Bialystrzelec
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Jimenez, Fraser*
          Good point

  7. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Hi guys. Little bit of help Appreciated. Would you rather A or B?
    A) Duffy, Salah, Jiminez
    Or
    B) Mane, Robertson, Arnie

    Thanks.

    1. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B by far.

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

    4. elchilangles
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'd go with B

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

      B

  8. United84
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Given Liverpool’s fixtures and Hazard potentially missing next match is Hazard and Tripoier out for Salah and a 5.0 defender worth a hit??

  9. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Trippier > Robertson a good move? (Already have TAA)

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Potentially.

    2. United84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I think so

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Who’s is your backup for Trent? Decent move then can downgrade TAA in a week or 2

    4. elchilangles
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      yes

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

      What about your 100 questions about Moura and Son? You keeping them now?

  10. elchilangles
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Is Alonso and McDonald to Salah and Duffy worth an 8 point hit this week or better to leave it until next week for a 4 point hit?

    1. Goat
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Do it now. Take -12 if necessary

    2. Kanga roo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No.

  11. Jules Rimet
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Long term: Murphy or Kenedy?

    1. Jay_
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Murphy

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Murphy

    3. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I want to sell Richa and get Kenedy to fund Pereira to Mendy but don't know what is this Murphy-hype about?
      Is he more attacking then Kenedy?

  12. Jay_
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Patricio
    Doherty Bellerin TAA Alonso
    Fraser Hazard Rich Sane
    Aguero Lacazette
    (Hen Jimenez AWB Schneid)

    A) Laca & Sane > Arnie & Salah -4
    B) TAA & Sane > Diop & Salah -4
    C) Sane > Mane

    I'm liking A because it gives me £ for Mendy/Robbo later. So does C but lacks Captaincy option. Thoughts please?

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A easily

      1. Jay_
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks Anish!

  13. Bedknobs and Boomsticks

    Vote please:

    A. Salah + Wilson

      I feel ya mate. Similar headache. Is Mane trustworthy for the armband in Pools captain-able games? Makes me want to go Salah

      1. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Surprised by the B's actually. Fancying A more.

    6. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Salah + Arnie somehow
      Wilson has fixture change coming.

  14. House Frey Wedding Planner
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Is it worth tripling up on Liverpool defenders?

    I already have Robertson and Alisson and am thinking of bringing in Gomez for Trippier

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No because it means no Salah.

      1. House Frey Wedding Planner
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I don't have Salah and can't get him in without making multiple transfers. 3 defenders can compensate if they get a clean sheet

    2. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      no team is worth triple defence, unless Burnley 2016/2017 season

      1. AuFeld
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Magical times. Wolves remind me of them.

  15. meksss
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I got offered Moura/Richarlison for my Pedro/Maddison in a draft league. Should I take it?

    Pedro hasnt been playing much lately which is swaying me towards accepting but not sure...

    Help?

    1. 4zim
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure about Richarlison's upcoming fixtures

  16. Goat
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Salah all of a sudden good a football again? People considering -8’s to get him in is beyond laughable

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      People taking hits or using wc to get him is a good thing 😉

      1. Goat
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yup. It’s great to see it.

  17. Bialystrzelec

    1FT / 0.1 ITB

    Patricio Hamer
    Alonso Mendy TAA Doherty AWB
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Fraser Maddison
    Aguero Mitrovic Jimenez

    How to bring Robertson/Liverpool defender in? Or would you keep TAA for now? Other comments?

    Thanks

  18. Touré De Force
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Firmino surely a top option for one of the striker spots now?

  19. pstokes2010
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    How does this team look? Kane and Knockheart > Firminho and Ozil for -4. Or should I be looking at other options?

    Ederson

    Mendy Duffy Van Dijk Alonso

    Hazard Ozil Mane(c)

    Firminho Arnie Mitrovic

    Speroni Fraser Richarlison Bennett

  20. 4zim
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A or B?
    A) Salah / Mane / Arnautovic
    B) Salah / Richarlison / Lacazette

    1. momomaimai

    1free transfer and .2 m in bank. Obviously a doubt over Hazard this weekend and BSilva a rotation risk particularly with KDB back. Any changes you would make or gtg?

    Foster
    Doherty Alonso Robertson
    Salah (c) Hazard BSilva Richarlison
    Aguero Mitrovic Wilson

    TAA, Laporte, Alonso, Pereira (AWB)

    Hazard, Rich, Mane (Jorginho, Billing)

    Kun, Wilson, Firmino

  25. Greyling

    Kane, Richarlison to Ings, Salah?

    2 FT available

    1. TopwithKlopp
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I have Salah and Ings....
      I guess I can’t disagree with that one!

  26. Jules Rimet

    A. Sterling / Bilva > Salah(C) / Camarasa -4
    B. Sterling > Mané (C)
    C. Save FT (No Liverpool attack)

  27. TopwithKlopp
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Is Mane going to start vs Cardiff or maybe rested? Have De Bruyne, but think Mane will be a better choice short term. Same price at the moment..

  28. Snoop
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Roll transfer or change Walcott? He's benched but going down in price today.
