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risks and plummeting form to deal with, the Scoutcast crew’s Fantasy Premier League teams are in danger of becoming out of date.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

  1. Am sorry to say again it�…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Can Robbo and Firmino do that against Cardiff please, thanks 😀

    1. Lets jump straight into it.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      cardiff have history of derailing bandwagons..

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

        Kane have a history of being a troll when playing minows.

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

    robbo to firm hmm

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

      I'd be hard too if I set up a goal like that

  3. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I was just looking at Bobby in for Kane this week as a punt. That goal I suppose is a little more encouraging.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It frees up funds to get KDB the week after too.

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

        Kane to Arnie frees up even more.
        Im in the same boat and considering Kane to either Firmino or Arnie.

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I already have Arnie, otherwise I’d prefer him if I hadn’t.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He's not due anymore now though.

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Last year Firmino scored 10 goals in 13 Champions League games

      2. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Good point actually. Back to Depoitre it is then.

      3. Hits from the Bong
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Doesn’t he have some ridiculous stat, like no prem goals in 19 at home, or away or something. Or am I imagining things?

    3. Typo
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      How is his numbers? Feel Arnie is safer

  4. Stevie B
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    TAA -> Lovren for free because TAA plays tonight and Lovren not.

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

      If only it was that simple.

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

      I'd steer clear of Lorven, he's crap lol

      1. Stevie B
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        But he got nine and nine points (total 18) in the last two weeks. Liverpool has also a good fixture with Cardiff.

    3. firetog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Its starting to look like Gomez is the one to have, since he can play in both positions.

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

        This

  5. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    How will KDB's return affect D.Silva's FPL points in your opinion.

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Slightly more rotation.

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Dilva will rotate with Bilva IMO. KDB is almost rotation proof when he's fit.

  6. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah's finishing has been horrendous so far.

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      What finishing?

    2. Eden Wizard
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Pathetic Isn’t it

  7. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Which one for free.

    A) Mitrovic > Firmino
    B) TAA > Robertson

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      B

    2. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. Stevie B
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      B because Mitrovich has good fixtures with Bournemouth, Huddersfield and Southampton. TAA is also a rotation risk and Mitrovic is nailed.

    4. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      B

  8. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Should I play Doherty (bha) or Duffy (WOL)?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Duffy

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

        Thanks, pal

    2. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Doherty

    3. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Have the same choice myself, I am benching Doherty and playing Duffy as Brighton are good at home and Wolves don't score many. Could be a 0-0 but Brighton more likely to score imo.

  9. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    And will Bernardo keep his place? He seems a steady source of points.

  10. Eden Wizard
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Number of barn doors hit by Salah tonight: 0

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

    Liverpool getting in the mood.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      No BAPS for Salah confirmed

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yawn.

  12. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    After a sloppy start, Liverpool have stepped up a gear

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      That’s a cool story

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

        Here he is Mr cant break into the top 10K, being a pest as usual

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          And here is Mr "your number determines your credibility"

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

            Eden you've got yourself your first fan

            1. George Sillett
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              It's nothing to do with Eden at all.

            2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              I'd say he has a fair few fans tbf

            3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              1 more than you

  13. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah to be rested this weekend?

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

      Why would he be rested?

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Played internationals, was injured and has played every game since. Easy opposition with difficult coming up. Plent of options to replace him

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

          Playing tonight then not playing till Saturday week vs Arsenal?

          1. TheSteel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah

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

              You're better off just buying a couch 😉

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

      Arrested more like

      By the finishing cops

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

    Robertson & Mendy are my 2 season keepers.

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

      Robbo Mendy Alonso Trippier for me

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Trippier 😆 😆

      2. Podge
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Ah here

  15. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Didn't even go for the ball, are you serious Mo?

  16. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mane is the biggest problem in this "new" Liverpool. He has no inteligence and cant retain possesion

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

      True he doesn't have any footballing intelligence but when on form he compliments the others quite nicely

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Guy is playing with a broken thumb and it's been just 30 mins. Relax! It's a new system and none of the players are really used to it. Plus I don't expect Klopp to roll out the same tactics against Cardiff.

      1. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I dont say it cause this game they will win against red star with reserve team but Liverpool needs someone like Insigne on left

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          And a striker like Glenn Murray to replace Salah?

    3. Typo
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Last two involvments has been genious

  17. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Robertson is class. Fans of teams other than Chelsea/Liverpool. If you could have Alonso or Robbo, who'd you choose?

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      In real life terms? Robbo hands down imo

    2. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Robbo

    3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Robertson easily. Far more complete.

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

      Lol Robbo by some distance

    5. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      None of them

      Mendy for me

    6. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Robbo no doubt

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

    I'm scouting Robertson tonight, and i would say a double digit score is locked in to the weekend:)

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He could play crap tonight but still a great option in the league.

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

      Best on the pitch so far.

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah misses a sitter

  20. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah FFS 😆

  21. Mackans
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    SALAH HOW DID YOU MISS THAT!!!!!!!!!

  22. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah missed a few chances tonight. But it will click against Cardiff and he will haul.

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Insert any team he's played so far this season in that sentence and that statement would be about as true as it is now.

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Undoubtedly will haul during the season, but will those occasional hauls be worth all the frustrating weeks of misses and should have beens? Also needs 2 goals to get into baps.

  23. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    RIP Spurs. That was unlucky by them. The way this season is shaping up for them I wouldn't be surprised if they missed out on 4th by a point or something heartbreaking like that.

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      They've lost their edge. They look stagnant and predictable lately

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

    Salah knew he was off 😛

    What a touch from Mane!

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

      "He has no inteligence and cant retain possesion" lol

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

        Similar to the 'Auba is wasted at Arsenal' comments at 7pm on Monday 😆

  25. Eden Wizard
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah is horrible

  26. kime67
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    nice finishing

  27. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Amazing touch by Mane. Awful finish from Salah

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

    that was ridiculous from Suarez

  29. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    It was offside relax. BAPS is good.

  30. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah has been awful
