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risks and plummeting form to deal with, the Scoutcast crew’s Fantasy Premier League teams are in danger of becoming out of date.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

    They were saying at half time that someone bet 4 million on this game, I didn't hear all of it though

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

      £4m!!!!!!

      Decent return if it was on Liverpool though - better than the bank.

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

        I only half heard it that someone bet 4 million on a team to win by 5. If the BBC commentator meant liverpool that's probably why the ref gave that penalty

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

          I think they were talking about betting irregularities on the 6-1 PSG match which is now being investigated. I was only half listening though.

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

            Yes, they are investigating that match as someone bet a huge amount on a 5 goal margin of victory

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

              It was over 100 bets,not just that one.

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

        easy 240k

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

      didn't know betting companies took bets of that value

      1. Touré De Force
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        They don't

    3. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It was for the game against PSG,and it was Red Star club high employee

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

        Oooooo, thanks for clearing that up. Sorry hopefully no one is betting on liverpool to win by 5

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          NP

    4. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It was probably one of the Red Star people...

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

      It will be rubbish. No betting firm will take on a single of that size. Betting limits will apply.

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

        Asia black market maybe,or multiple bookies.

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

          Multiple bookies wouldn't take it either . Any bet of £1k or above on a single football match gets the layers scurrying around and the whole industry knows almost immediately.

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

    Salah non-owners - what are your thoughts, worth a hit to get him in?

    Or just clench the butt cheeks & hope for the best for 2 of the next 3 GW's?

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

      good luck

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

      He’s worth a hit. Would be a nervy week without him, nevermind 3!

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

      Good chance of returns vs Arsenal too.

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

      Bit stuck for a Captain if I don't get him in.

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

      -4 doesn't matter if you are captaining for next few gameweeks but also depends on who you are removing to get him in. I removed Kane, so pretty happy with hit.

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

      Had him....sold him....sticking to my guns and hiding behind the sofa!

    7. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I might wildcard him in, otherwise it's Mane in for a FT.

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

      I'd get him for a hit help get 20+ points

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

      risk of rotation?

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

      Too expensive for his output. There are players who offer better value.

    11. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      DFS for me

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

    take him off already

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

    Quite in awe of the Apprentice talent, pretty impressive!

    Damn Salah save yourself for Cardiff

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

    Klopp may just want to keep his players out there for the next 20 or so minutes

    Keep the cohesion going and let them keep this flowing football going

    Taking one off now would be silly after its just beginning to click again

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

    😯 wonder what kind of bet and the odds. Seems a bit risky/not worth it tbh

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

    made a shortlist to replace ramsey:
    siggy, ozil, lucas, miki, martial, richarlison, felipe, walcott, j.murphy, schurrle, kenedy, w.hughes, pereyra

    who to get?

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

      Siggy looks the standout option there

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

      start with a cull..

      choose from this - siggy, ozil, martial, rich, j.murph, schurrle, kenedy, pereyra

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

      First one

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

      Sigggggggy

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

      thanks everyone

  8. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Welcome Eden's owners to Salah's camp.

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

    Nice of Klopp to give Alisson the night off

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

    Salah on pens, nice!!

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

      *Milner not on the pitch.

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

    Moura & 3.9 to Robertson & Kenedy

    (-4)

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

    Thoughts?

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

      Not for -4. For free yes

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

      I'd do it. But need to see rest of team.

  12. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    “[merro] For those asking why Salah doesn't look happy when he scores, I've been told he's sulking because he's instructed his agent to get him to Madrid, but Klopp's put a block on the move. Expect him to leave in January after striking.”

    Jeez Salah off I guess.

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

      It metro got mistweeted

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

        Stopped reading at Metro.

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

          Was a tweet

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

      Madrid have a hole to fill. There is no CL ban now for players who move between clubs that are in the CL to prevent him playing. Salah (Jan), Hazard (July) and Bale (already there) could work.

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

      itd be good for FPL if he left - think of all that extra budget to spread around

  13. Dannyb
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah fires in two goals against a small team, one of which is a pen and people are going crazy lol.

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

      3 small teams in the next 3, wont be surprised if he repeats it again a few times.

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

      Cardiff is not a big team are they?

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

      Whose he got next?

    4. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Same for Kane earlier in the season. I guess Liverpool do look better offensively though.

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

      i think its more that a player who has 353 points in his last 47 games has cardiff at home and people are going crazy

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

      I'm not even bothered by not having Salah. He won't score more than 2 and won't get a bonus pt. Taking a hit would make the move even less profitable

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

    Need more updates on Salah smiling or not

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

      He gets bonus points for that

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

      As many smiles as bonus points mate

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

        So true!

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

    Lallana coming on
    Shaqiri coming off

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

      Shaqiri starting the weekend so

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

    Shaqiri starting vs Cardiff is great for the Liverpool front boys!

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

      Should be good for salah return

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

    do you think salah could be rotated against cardiff?

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

      Of course.

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

      anyone could... doesnt really change things though with no certainty

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

      Of course although his rotation was limited last season. That said, Liverpool have much more depth this season so more likely. Fact is though, if you are getting a player from a top club, rotation is always a risk. You just have to live with it.

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

      No way. That would be ridiculous from klopp, knowing that city is your competition then rest your main man when you are level on points with a rival ? Sorry, for me that's how you lose the plot

  18. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hmm. Might have to WC after tonight. Was hoping Mane for a hit would cover Salah but a restructure will be needed to get Salah in.

  19. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Still think Mane to Salah is a sideways move, I'll be wrong though probably

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

      Not sure I agree with you. One is the highest scorer in the history of the game and the other is a guy who had an unsustainable conversion rate at the start of the season and is now labouring

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed.
        Just that Salah not getting BAPS worry me but if he gets a Hattie it won't matter anyway haha

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

    Apologies if this has been asked but is Salah on pens now? Or is it because Milner is off the pitch?

    Not that his record is great as I recall. Took 2 and missed 1 last season I think. Maybe it’s better he doesn’t have them.

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

      Milner is no.1 penalty taker. That guy does not really miss many.

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

        Cheers

    2. Sif
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Milner off, 2 up and clearly winning. Maybe just a confidence booster, we'll see.

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

        Cheers

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

    Mo and Bobby rested please

  22. Teror
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Kane + Gundmundsson > Jiminez + Salah ?

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

    lallana coming on, probably for shaqiri

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

      confirmed

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

      solid game for him, reckon he might get the nod over the weekend, earned it

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

        So who will benched in your opinion?

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

    For everybody who's saying "yeah Salah is back!!" let's not forget that this isn't Premier League level side they are playing against now. I mean PSG demolished them etc.

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

      Cardiff and Fulham aren't Premier League level sides either.

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

        This. Cardiff are the worst side I’ve seen since Swindon.

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

      Well by that logic PSG are hardly a premier league side as they play in Ligue 1

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

      Don't get him then

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

      Non owner spotted 🙂

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

    Guys what are your thoughts on the probability of both Mane and Sterling starting this GW?

    Cheers and thank you

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

      Mane yes, sterling, probably also but less certain

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

        Cheers! Sterling has lots of days to rest now. Hope he starts....

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

      Strong, imo.

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

        Hope you are right! Cheers

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

      Sterling I’m 99% sure starts. City are playing Spurs, a top 4 club, not Burnley and Sterling is part of City’s first choice team.

      I think Liverpool are harder to call because I think I could round up 11 guys from an ex pats pub here and give Cardiff a decent game.

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

    Shaquiri with 4 assists in 186 mins, looks like a starter against Cardiff

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

      agree

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

      I think you’re right.

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

    Do we think Mane to Salah would be a sidewards step? Salah seems to be the one in form at the moment...

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

      Definitely a step up not sideways.

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

      no, he's the one to have, mane playing wide and deep, salah up top and clinical tonight

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

        hmm it would be for -4pts and I would have to lose Alonso to do it... so probably not worth it

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

          Don't bother mate. Salah isn't worth the money. Especially if you have Hazard.

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

            cheers, I do have Has too.

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

              Me too mate. Had Salah and got rid. People have been saying he'll explode since the start (including me) but it's not happened.

              On a side note, that Preston result is bad for us both!

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

                Thanks for the sensible head haha.

                And yeah not great, drags us back into it a bit. Mind you, losing to you was far from ideal too!

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

                  We needed that so badly! Gonna be a long season for both of us mate! Thank God for Fantasy Football eh!

  28. The Train Driver
