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risks and plummeting form to deal with, the Scoutcast crew’s Fantasy Premier League teams are in danger of becoming out of date.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. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He seemed very tense before taking it though. Happy he scored though!

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

    SALAH takes a Mane won pen!

    Im Liverpool fan but this is not penalty.

    Anyone noticed Salah doesnt celebrate goals?

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

      It's because he wants to come to Utd

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

        Yeah right!

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

      He does that open arm gesture to the crowd. So cool. 😎

  7. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    NEED THIS VS CARDIFF

    🙁

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

    Mo won't be taking penalties if Milner is on the pitch though

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

      He will if its already 2-0.

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

      Will he be though?

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

        Rested tonight so likely to start and play a lot of minutes against Spurs.

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

      Milner won't be on the pitch though for a while

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

        What about on Monday night, which is what counts for FPL. He is fit.

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          He definitely won’t play for Spurs on Monday night. I’m sure of it.

          1. Oven Glover
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            *against

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

        Sure?

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

    Looool ref is blind, no way that's a peno

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

      Some very ropey decisions from these ‘elite’ officials this evening.

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

    Salah on pens! Delicious. His confidence will be high to demolish cardiff

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

      Until Milner's back I guess

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

        Will depend on the context of each individual match as well

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

    Clear dive from mane, disgrace

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

      It was a penalty

      Blatant obstruction

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

    First game with two attacking returns this season for Salah.

    Bring on the Cardiff hatty, Mo 😀

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

      TC

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

    And still no smile

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He’s pissed

  14. JJO
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hahah those refs are just ridiculous

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

    Don't worry non Salah owners. Mane will 'cover' him vs Cardiff.

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

      LOL

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      In a blanket?

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

    Time to rest salah

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

      Yes please

      And Robertson

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

      Hatty first.

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

    salah confident pen, very convincing.

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

    Imagine Real Madrid signed Salah, Hazard and Kane. What a front three that would be

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

      Prefer Icardi

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

      Kane isn’t in the same bracket

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

      Hazard - Kane - Bale looks more complete and dynamic

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

    Mané -100.0% looks like dropping tonight and TAA -96.7% with three arrows down (dropping extremely fast) is at risk also.

  20. XabiAlonso
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ok take him off now kloppo

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

    Ok Kloppo now rest Salah

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

      no need, salah has been playing very high, not many many runs, doubt he's tired if at all tonight.

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

    can see LFC putting in 5 at this rate

  23. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Fabinho’s looked good

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

    Liverpool on fire now

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

      The whole city or just parts ?

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

    Funny how everyone here assuming that Liverpool will demolish Cardiff, they will win of course but might end up only 1 or 2 nil.

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

      We'll see

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

      Salah 2-0? That'll do.

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

      Because Cardiff are so good defensively?

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It’s just biased high hopes, to be expected

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

      No game for a week after Cardiff. So party time and can destroy Cardiff.

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

      If Liverpool up their game like they have second half they will destroy them

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

      I disagree 😉 Cardiff away concede a lot, Hud defend well at home.

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

      Arsenal got 3 against them, Chelsea 4 and City 5

  26. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah is back!! 😀

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

      not had many chances, 3 or 4 at most

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

        All he needs 🙂

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

        4 shots, 3 on target in less than 60mins. Great underlying numbers yet again

  27. Vasty Deep
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Back to FPL, what’s the safest way into Liverpool’s defense if you can’t afford VVD/ Robertson? I’m inclined to go with Gomez ahead of lovren but suspect He could be rotated with TAA given he is playing TAA’s favored position.

    In short, Gomez or Lovren?

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

      allison

    2. Jamb0
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      If not VVD or Robbo then avoid.. the other 3 will likely rotate for those 2 positions

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

      Gomez has played in all PL games so far and has started all but 1.
      But I'm an owner and slightly worried.

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

      You need Robertson and Mendy if you want a decent rank this season. Remove the other dross from your team and you will fit him in

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I’m top 3k and have neither. Defenders (except Alonso in his pomp as a wingback) are never going to crucify you in the way well owned mids and forwards are. I don’t don’t deny by GW2 I had Alonso, Robbo and Mendy. Alonso went Saturday. This funded a midfield of Salah, Haz, Sterling, Richarlison and Fraser, Fraser is now going to become KDB. There is no such thing as a rank killing defender other than Alonso from previous years.

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I should add that Mendy went the instant he was left out and Robbo shortly afterwards on a WC. Both are going to do well and I miss Mendy but they are never going to get the scores of the midfield I know have whilst players I’ve brought in like Doherty and Duffy have been epic. Let’s not forget AWB early season. He’ll come good again when Palace’s fixtures improve.

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

            They will outscore similar priced mids. I'm not comparing them to Salah hazard and sterling but Fraser maddison and richarlison

      2. Vasty Deep
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks all. I need to reconsider fitting Robertson in.

  28. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Red Star lost their last CL game 6-1

    Just saying

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

      They played one of the best attacking team iin the world

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

        Is that the same team who are losing 1-0 at home currently?

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

          Yup same team who are beating PSG right now couldn't put a goal past Red Stars. See Football is not so easy.

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

      And that's by the third best team in the group.

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

      liverpool playing with a lot of confidence now, shaqiri and firmino very similar with their flair, TTA clear shot miss, shame

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

      That game is now being investigated for betting irregularities though I think.

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

    All you salah owners cheering his goals tonight. Wtf is wrong with you. Just means all the none owners bring him in and he's less of a differential. Why is that so good ?

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

      Confidence is key.

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

        I'm annoyed as an owner . Wanted a blank and more sales

      2. Jamb0
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        This.

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

      As a non-owner (was getting him anyway) there is the fact, that many non-owners are forced to take hits or even wc to get him. Add to that the problem with TAA. In this context I doubt Mendy will rise again this week.

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

        I guess we gain 4 , 8 points on them too, all they doing is matching us.

        Hope loads lose Hazard

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

    UCL fantasy players : why mane didnt get points for assist(penalty won)?

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

      I think they're added later on
