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.

  7. adam28193
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    If getting Mendy is detrimental to the value of your side could getting Laporte be a decent alternative?

    1. adam28193
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      *balance not value

      1. Differentiator

    7 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on:

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Brutal

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

      1. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

    Next GW, Aguero,Knockaert>Murray,Mane for free?

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

      Tough call with Knock a 1pt player this week

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

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

      What are your captaincy options if you sell kun?

  14. Yome
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    So Diangana is taking the spot of Yarmolenko in the team.
    Pellegrini has also said he will become a first team regular.
    A risk worth taking for the run of fixtures?

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

      Its either him or Barkley coming in for Schurrle as my pre WC punt.

      Great bit of play from young Diangana few minutes ago.

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Good to know you are considering him too. At 4.5 he could be a steal if he performs.

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He's won a lot of plaudits with fans. More so than Anderson anyway. Maybe yes.

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

      Hot topic pls seeing as Arnie will be crippled by the 90th minute

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

    Patricio
    Alonso / Robertson / Mendy
    Salah / Hazard / Richarlison / Fraser / Knockaert*
    Aguero / Mitrovic

    Hamer // Doherety / Jiminez / AWB

    Patricio (for now), Knockaert & Jiminez not really doing the business.
    2 FTs. Best option from the below, or alternatives?:

    A) Hamer/Knockaert/Jiminez > Fabianski/Barkley/Success
    B) Patricio/Knockaert/Jiminez > Fabianski/Billing/Murray
    C) Patricio/Knockaert > Fabianski/Deulofeu
    D) Hamer/Knockaert > Fabianski/Billing*
    E) Other?

    *Billing could be anyone from ~4.5m to 5.1m

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years

  19. Henning
    • 11 Years

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

      I would do it, for Fabs and Mendy

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

    Less of the Arnie limping *88

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