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risks and plummeting form to deal with, the Scoutcast crew’s Fantasy Premier League teams are in danger of becoming out of date.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

    Salah still no where near the bonus

  2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mo needs Shaq......let's hope he gets him on Saturday too.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      This - Klopp won’t need 3 DM’s v Cardiff

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

    Need 0.2:
    TAA>Holebas
    Ward>Romeu

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

    Robbo actually looks more of a threat than Mane so far

  5. child of God
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Finally

  6. The Darkest Knight
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Richarlison/Maddison + Bellerin >> KDB + Lovern?

  7. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    When will Robertson get his rest?

    He's being flogged like mad. He played two full 90s during the international break as well.

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

      Fit AF. Needs no rest

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

      When they buy a new Left back :p

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

      In between Cardiff & Arsenal.

      His natural fitness seems to be of a very high standard.

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

      Every other summer as he's scottish

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

        Every summer*

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

          Thought Scotland only have summers once in two years?

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

      Cardiff 😛 . I wouldn't mind actually as it would solve my benching dilemma.

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

      3 days is plenty rest for professional football players Virg. They have millions of pounds worth of state of the art equipment to help aid recovery. And Robertson is just naturally really fit.

    7. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Week off after Cardiff.

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

    Mane covers Salah - these people will get a reality check over the next 3 fixtures

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

      Mane is 7 games without a goal

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

      especially if Klopp persists with the system he's playing against the easier sides . Salah striker, Mane LM

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

        OOP! Salah will be classified as a forward next season - great for bonus!

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

          Not so much for goals/clean sheets

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

        TAA left back in changies

  9. the Penman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ah, that Mané to Robertson chance gets me excited. More of that on Saturday, with better finishing Andy please!

  10. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Liking this WC team after this week -

    Patricio. Hamer.
    Mendy. Robbo. Alonso. Doherty. AWB.
    Hazard. KDB. Siggy. Maddison. Camarasa.
    Aguero. Mitro. Arnie.

    1. The Darkest Knight
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      why maddison over richarlison??? (i am confused over that myself)

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

        Because he has Siggy.

        1. Y26 Royal
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I'm gutted I got rid of Siggy after having him from the start. Shoulda been patient!

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

        Fixtures better and Maddison on set pieces.

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

      Great team! Not sure i would have Mitro on WC tho, he was poor the last game and he have tough games coming up

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

        Excuse me? He has plumb fixtures

        1. Y26 Royal
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Yep! I've kept him due to the nice fixtures!

  11. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Saaaaaaaaaalah

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

    Big Robbo is going to 7.0 next season isn't he

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yep

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

      Yep him and Mendy. Alonso's great start fooled everyone

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

        Me too. Thankfully sold right after his last goal

        1. Pieterke30
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          That was lucky

    3. Y26 Royal
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Can see a few defenders getting big price rises if it carries on as it is.

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

    3 goals in 3 games for Salah now counting his Egypt goal

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

      10 goals in 4 games if you include the kickabout at the park yesterday.

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

      I think people forget that he only really hit form last season around Christmas time and became essential.

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

      How many goals will he score when he finds even the tiniest bit of form?

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on Firmino for the weekend?

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

      Seriously considering him for kane

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Same, see below 🙂

    2. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yep - thinking about it.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Think of the hit below Lord? 🙂

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

          I’d wait for news on Hazard, but maybe you are happy with Kenedy as cover. I don’t have a problem with the hit in principle - I will be doing something similar to get Salah in.

  15. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Yay or Nay... Kane+Cairney >> Firmino+Maddison (-4)?

    Patricio
    Bennett • Alonso • Robbo
    Salah(C) • Haz • Richarli • MADDISON
    FIRMINO • Mitro • Arnie
    (Hamer • Kenedy • AWB • Tomkins)

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

      Yes

    2. Lovren an elevator
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      That team is so simialr to mine, I have to agree with you. I really like the changes you've made aswell

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

    liverpool first half analysis:
    - robo and salah the most attacking of the lot
    - robo lots of crosses and 2 clear chances on goals wasted
    - salah playing most forward and took his few changes well including a delicious outside right foot finish from a brilliant shaqiri flick on

    -mane and firmino dropping deep to receive the ball and laying off to shaqiri who has been clinician in moving the ball forward to force the attack

    -Fabinho has been solid in the middle of the park even running with the ball forward at times, should have shot a couple of times

    -Gomez and VVD solid as a rock in defence

    -TAA quiet and at times exposed leading to the opiisitons only attack coming down his side

    - Alision in goal yet to be properly tested

    1. Y26 Royal
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks for this

    2. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks. Is Mane a yay or nay for you?

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

        currently a nay still

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

          my order for the front 3 is salah/firmino/mane

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

      thanks

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

    now that taa is playing in cl, replacing him with robbo worth a hit?

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

      not IMO, still looking at so confident

    2. The Darkest Knight
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      or lovern?

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

        well I mean as long as I have the money I'll go for robbo but yeah.

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

        seems to have the faith of the manager but robo and VVD the only nailed options currently

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

      As long term move, yes.

  18. HamezMace
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    So this Liverpool line up, good news or bad news for TAA this weekend?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I think he’ll play, probably Gomez’s turn for a rest.

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

        Oh now I don’t know what to think!

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

        Arguably not, Gomie played 90 last Monday for England then Saturday, TAA rested for England clearly dropped

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

      Line up at 1.59pm on Saturday the only one that matters.

      1. soup natsi
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        much insight

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

        Think we’ll know the line up prior to deadline?

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

          Liverpool usually tweet it 30 seconds or so before the deadline.

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

            This

          2. Pieterke30
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Well good luck with that

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

            30 seconds....wow, are you really leaving your transfer that close?

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

              Not me. Just letting you know, useful info for TAA this weekend, imo.

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

                Cheers mate, someone did tell me this early...about the team news...but 30 seconds is probably too close to risk it

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

            wow

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

      Rested. No longer 1st choice

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

        Yes, Gomez looking a great option....unless I listen to Gregor

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

    Been torn over
    A) firmino & mane
    B) salah & arnie
    And this 45mins just intensified that same dilemma

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

      B no question

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

      B

    3. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

      B

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

      Okay that lessens it up a bit,cheers guys

      1. Y26 Royal
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        A!
        Not really....def B!

  20. Tommo1888
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Any further word on hazard? Seen he was flagged on FPL - back injury. Any facts?

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

      Woke up with a stiff back on Sunday apparently

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

        Lol wtf fake news

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

          Exsqueeze me ?

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

            Absolute lies

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

              Has been well documented in the media. Struggled to finish the match vs United with back pain.

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

                Exactly 🙂 so didn’t wake up with the pain (in first instance) as Podge says

    2. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Well, there's a quote from his manager just above in the tweets.

  21. Garth Marenghi
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Depending on how the game goes, I think I’m doing TAA>Lovren. I think.

    1. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Don't blame you for selling the kid. Half boy, half grasshopper, he nevsr stood a chance.

      1. Garth Marenghi
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Skipper was a special boy.

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

      Lovren was turd at the weekend, Liverpool are better with a back four of Robbo Vvd Gomez Taa, klopp can surely see this

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

    Really good game from Fabinho.What an assist from Shaqiri.

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

    So I assume everyone is getting Zabaleta in yeh ?

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

      got him last week to afford to get Hazard in the team...

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

      Diop better option?

  24. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    So best guess it that Gomez and Lovern start at the weekend and TAA does not based on CL lineup?
    The CL lineup must be seriously attacking by the looks of it - can't watch game 🙁

  25. Roy Rovers
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Any Brighton fans ...is Kayal nailed??

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

      No. Stephens/Propper. Certainly not a Brighton fan - that’s just what Jonty told me

  26. Wheyyyy
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Best 4.5m or less defender as a rotating 3rd/4th player?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Have a look at bri & whm defenders, shedloads of em, new too

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

      Duffy

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

      Have a look at zabaleta

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

      AWB, Bennett, Balbuena, Diop, Duffy, Yedlin..

  27. Ninjaa
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Why didn't Knockaert play for Brighton last weekend, injury or out of favour? Should I ship?

      Simple squad rotation, according to Hughton

      He knew I had 7 points first on my bench and decided I needed them so badly he’d sit out the match.

      Izquierdo, JahanB, Knockaert & March for 2 wing positions.

    I decides to go with Firmino, Mane and TAA. Have enough ITB to do Dilva >> Mane.
    Should I do it or Holebas to Robbo and keep Dilva. Then it would be Firmino, TAA and Robbo.

      Get Robbo

      I wouldn't do that transfer, Mane is due and will punish sellers

    Mane wins pen.

      Looks like Salah is essential
