After gaining an unwelcome set of red arrows in Gameweek 10, the Scoutcast crew are in need of a lift.

The perfect man for the job could well be Watford’s bargain basement striker, the aptly named Isaac Success Ajayi.

Joe, David and Az discuss the merits of bringing in the Nigerian, who could enable a formation shake-up with a greater focus in defence and midfield.

Among the midfield success stories recently has been Ross Barkley, who has averaged 13 Fantasy Premier League points a match over his last three run-outs. His potential to liven up a Fantasy squad in the doldrums is also discussed, as the crew answer the community’s questions.

The rotation threat facing such potentially potent Fantasy forces as Barkley is considered in further detail, as is whether stronger benches may be needed to cope with unexpected no-shows from well-owned stars.

Bournemouth’s chances of ensuring their stellar form can trump a tricky fixture run also get an airing, as does the best differential picks and clean sheet prospects for Gameweek 11. This also features the selections of Luke, who due to internet issues was sadly unable to attend this week’s show. He’ll be back next week though to see how his picks faired.

    Barkley to start at the weekend then?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Surely, glad to have him as he looks much more mature under the genius Sarri.

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Looking to fulfil his potential

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Looks favourite.

    3. Salah4Ever

      Did i miss something here?

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Not starting tonight, rest for weekend possible.

        1. Salah4Ever
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Thanks mate , just finished work , didn t get time to follow
          Let s hope he gets some good points now

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

          Hazard has a good chance of starting this weekend according to Zola

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

    What should be my priority this week Arnautovic or Mendy? Or maybe save and decide next week?

    Fabianski
    Alonso, Robertson, Doherty
    Salah, Hazard, Richarlison, Madison
    Aguero, Wilson, Mitrovic

    1ft 0.7 itb. Hamer, Bennett, Wb, Hojberg

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

      Arnie as you can't easily get mendy.

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

      Doesn't look like you could get Mendy without a hit, so I would personally save. Fulham has a nice fixture this week, so I'd look to delay Mitro to Arnie one week

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

        What you think about Wislon to Arnautovic in next 2 of next for hit Mitrovic and Bennett to Mendy and Suces

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

      I’ve done Robertson to Laporte for this week and have Ederson

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

    Bego/ 4.0
    Bennett/ Robertson/ Alonso
    Salah/ hazard/ Maddison/ Schurrle
    Wilson/ Kun/ Ings

    4.0/ Cedric HojbeRg/ wan b

    1ft 2.9 itb

    both budget strikers have bad fixtures though I am inclined to keep Wilson
    thinking
    a)Cedric to Mendy/ Ings to Murray -4
    b) Cedric to Mendy
    c) Cedric to Laporte/ Ings to Arnie -4
    d) Cedric to Laporte
    e) Ings to Arnie

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

      Prefer the Laporte/Arnie combo slightly to Mendy/Murray.

      I'd say D this week, then E next week for free.

      1. Luke Chadwicks Left Peg
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I like C. I think Arnie will score whereas Ings, well I guess you’ve felt the pain.

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

    Guys, two questions:

    A) Best 4.6 defender for next 2 or 3 GWs?
    B) Think Sterling starts this GW?

    Cheers

  5. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Moura to start at the weekend?

  6. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ugh, trying so hard to not jerk that Barkley knee!

  7. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Derby og, another Frank assist.

  8. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    That WH guy Niangana, can be a fantasy gold at 4.5

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

    what a game

  10. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hornwag goal. 2-2.

  11. dark91
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    So Arnie is now declared 100% fit or not necessarily?

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

      He is not ill.

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

        Must be fit

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

      Maybe not 100% with that dodgy knee, but on the bench tonight so should be unflagged soon

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

    Any moves needed this week
    Fab (pat)
    RAM (doc Ben)
    Haz Salah shaqiri kenedey (hoj)
    Arnie Aguero (c) Wilson
    1ft 0.3itb

  13. Sideways Backwards
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Which Bournemouth asset do I bench this weekend?

    A) King
    B) Fraser

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      None.

      1. Sideways Backwards
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Interesting, other front 6:

        Maddison, Richarlison, Mane, Hazard
        Aguero, Arnie

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

          Im a fan of a strong bench but 8 potential attacking starters is too much. Downgrade someone and beef up defense.

  14. Volley127
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Fraser

    1. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      @above

      1. Sideways Backwards
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Ta

  15. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    4 Derby goals. 2-2. Some first half 😆

  16. Dude1234
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Derby with 4 goals so far. Unreal!

  17. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I wonder what Frank and his genius IQ (170) makes of having Richard Keogh in his defence?

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

    Pererya or Barkley to get more points this weekend?

    1. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'd back Pererya

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

      Barkley

  19. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Basically want Mahrez to replace Bilva

    A: Bilva to Mahrez

    Jiminez to Success -4

    or

    B: Bilva to Mahrez,

    Maddy to Barkley -4

    or?

    1. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      A

  20. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    is trips to Mendy a good transfer or should I just hold? if I hold though, I'll be priced out.

    1. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'd do it.

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

      I did it

    3. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Laporte, ignore the chump.

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

      cheers pals.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Hardly.

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

          Why do you think laporte is better??

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Because Mendy is a self inflicted accident.

            And my man has a head for goal.

            1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Pal

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

                thanks for the input.

                1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 5 months ago

                  You will buy Mendy.

                  You're welcome.

  21. Dude1234
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Still have Wilson and Fraser. Finding it hard to leave go...

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      hold for now then

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

      I’m keeping both and benching one or even two if need be.

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hold. Form over fixtures.

    4. Dude1234
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks guys. Will hold for now. Just wondering if one of those season defining moments. Bournemouth have been outstanding so far but wonder how long it can last.

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

    Wan Bissaka lost his place?

    1. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      no he tends to play both EFL and prem

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He played well at the weekend so hopefully not.

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

      he is just young, so he will play

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

      I think Kelly is his backup but he's playing CB tonight

    5. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Ward injured so he's their only out-and-out RB at the moment

  23. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I can see why Sarri had to play Kante on the right, in this game.

    Derby playing down the right

    We're playing down the left

  24. AndyCook
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Son, Lucas or Lamela worth picking up in the draft game or too big a risk? And how about Barkley?

    • FPL Mentor
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Which 2 are priority to get in this week?

      Mendy, Alonso or Arnie.

      Im thinking Mendy & Alonso?

    • Ynwalfc
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Ederson
      Laporte,Alonso,TAA
      Hazard(C),Mane,Fraser,Richarlison
      Wilson,Aubameyang,Kun(V)

      Subs Doherty,WB,Romeu

      Any changes needed? I’ve taken out Robertson for Laporte and played TAA instead for this week. Expecting a clean sheet at city. Well hoping haha

    • Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Wtf girouds mate is a kid with dreadlocks...

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        It's that Welsh centre back.

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

          Are you serious ... Ok he looked like a high school drop out...could still be true I guess

    • SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Evening Gents, current situation is 2 FT and 0 banked.

      Patricio - Button
      Alonso - Robertson - Doherty - Zabalatta - Bennett
      Salah (c) - Hazard - Richarlison - Maddison - Obiang
      Aguero - Wilson - Mitrovic

      A. Zabaletta, Maddison & Mitrovic --> Mendy, Camarasa & Arnautovic (-4)
      B. Zabaletta, Maddison --> Mendy, Camarasa
      (make the move for Arnie next week after Mitro plays HUD)
      C. Other

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

        Would welcome any feedback as Mendy rising isnt ideal for me because A leaves 0.1 banked

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

        B

    • EgyptianKing
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hi mates.

      Thinking of doing Trippier and Laca out // Balbuena and Kun in (no hit)

      My team would then be:
      Patricio
      Alonso, Robertson, Balbuena
      Mane, Hazard, Sterling, Maddison, Richarlison
      Kun, Wilson

      Hamer, Bissaka, Holebas Kamara

      Thoughts please guys?

    • mdm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      TAA, Knockaert and Jimenez to Mendy, Barkley and Arnie (-8)?
