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.

    Best move?

    1. TAA, Trippier --> David Luiz, Laporte
    2. TAA, Fraser --> Rudiger, Josh Murphy/Kenedy
    3. Trippier, Wan Bissaka --> Rudiger, Dunk
    4. Trippier, TAA, Fraser --> Rudiger, Mendy, Kenedy -4
    5. Trippier, TAA, Fraser --> Rudiger, Laporte, Paterson -4

    I kinda like 5 as little differential moves...

    1. CFC1990
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I reckon just do Trippier to Mendy

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

        I cant, I have just 0.1 ITB now.

  2. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Luiz or Laporte (already own Mendy but no Chelsea def)

    1. CFC1990
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Laporte

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

      Luiz

  3. CFC1990
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Would you start Doherty (TOT), Diop (BUR) or Success (new) this week?

    Thinking success if it looks like Gray or Deeney won't return.

    Only one CS for WHU but they are playing Burnley.

    Doherty may not get a CS but may get attacking returns or will he stay back and defend against Spurs?

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      diop, Doherty, success

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Doherty

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

      I can see Newcastle game being a 0 - 0, I would play Doherty myself for the attacking potential. Spurs played games on Monday and today then again Saturday, so Wolves could get something imo.

  4. ZTF
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Keep Kane and Mads/Richarlison for this GW or swap for Wilson + Salah now?

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

      Keep

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

      Swap

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

        Why?

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

      Keep this GW i think

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

    Looking forward to Chelsea double up now... Barkley unused sub tonight!

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

      Make that triple up, forgot I had Alonso too

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

        Just realized I have 3 too. Can’t drop any of them though. Normally never have more than 2 from a team

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

    Who to start this week?
    A TAA
    B Moura
    C Kamara

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

      B

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

      Why is Kamara even a choice here? 😐

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

        For the captaincy option

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

          Brace incoming

    3. FPL DONKEY
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Kamara is a trap

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

      B

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

    Want to get mendy in for TAA this week with my two free transfers, which transfer to do to fund it?

    A) Mitro to Success
    B) Maddison to Kenedy

    1. FPL DONKEY
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'm keeping Maddison personally. I have a feeling Leicester will put on a show this weekend..

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

    which combo do you prefer? snooty strikes I know but enables Mendy in.

    A - Ings and Deulefeo
    B - Reid and Barkley?

    or go for Success for Watford?

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

      shoddy strikers not snooty!

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

    Is it smart to bring Aguero for Lacca?

  10. FPL DONKEY
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    A) Jiminez/TAA -> Success/Mendy OR
    B) Rich/TAA -> Barkley/Mendy

    Was set on doing A, but now Barkley looks like starting this weekend I'm not sure.

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

      A - Rich is worth keeping

    2. ChristoBisto
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      B

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

    Nice nutmeg from Diangana, and all things considered decent game tonight.
    Think I will get him in.

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

    2 FT, 0.1 ITB. Thoughts?

    Dubravka
    Alonso Mendy Diop
    Salah Hazard Maddison Richarlison Kenedy
    Lacazette Mitrovic

    Hamer Robertson Jimenez Doherty

    A) Lacazette > Arnie
    B) Lacazette + Kenedy > Arnie + Martial/Barkley
    C) Other suggestions

  13. 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 ish.

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

      I like A

  14. Blanka
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Good to see Arnie back.

    Jimenez to Arnie for me, I think.

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

    What option is better?
    A) Taa to Laporte
    B) Awb to duffy

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

      A

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

      A

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

    Peltier + Ings > Mendy + Success (-4)

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

      Not worth a hit imo.

  17. zamorac69
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    How did Arnie look through the game?

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

      I've not been watching, but commenters here said he was limping.

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

        Oh fook

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

      Limp

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

    Thoughts on these for -4? Yay or Nay?

    Richarlison & Ings to Kennedy & Arnie

  19. Ajax Down Trees
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Patrício - Button
    Alonso - Robertson - TAA - Wan.B - Bennett
    Salah - Hazard - Rich - Maddison - Hoijberg
    Aguero - Mitrovic - Wilson

    2 FT’s & 0.1 ITB.

    Any ideas going forward please guys??

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

      TAA > Digne/Lascelles

  20. Weasel51
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Trippier + Bilva > Mendy + Martial (-4)

    Yes or No?

  21. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    is Success a genuine option. won't be get dropped this week for Deeney or Gray?!

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

      For bench fodder he is a great option, will get 1 point most games as always comes on near the end.

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

      As a rotation option with a 5th MID, I think certainly.
      Not sure if you plan to start him every week.

      Probably just as good as Jiminez who I had planned as that guy...

  22. konrad.sygula95
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hi guys, need some advice here, what should I do with this team?

    Patricio/Fabiansko
    Dunk/Pereira/Robbo/Doherty/AWB
    Salah/Hazard/B. Silva/Maddison
    Aguero/Mitrovic/King

    2FT 0.3 ITB

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Upgrade defence a bit

  23. jorgenoj
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Need help on this before tonights rises.

    RMT. 1.1 ITB and 2 FTs.
    Fabianski - Stekelenburg
    Alonso - Robertson - Doherty - Wan-B - Peltier
    Salah - Hazard - Maddison - Richarlison - Chalobah
    Aguero - Arnie - King

    King + Peltier --> Success + Laporte?
    or
    King + Wan-B --> Success + Mendy?

    Then do Success --> Jimenez before GW13.

  24. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Derby unlucky there, played well

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      they scored all the goals 😉

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Well 4 of them anyway. When Nugent’s shot hit the post I was gutted

  25. TerryVenables
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Have 2 FTS with no other issues.
    Would you do Mitro>Arnie this week to save a FT as I’d be doing it next week anyway?

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

      Yes that’s a great move

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Mitro plays on Monday 😉

    3. Sedemuda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Why did Anderson go off at HT?

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

        Sorry post fail. Yes I would.

  26. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Serious qustin.

    Who to keep:

    Bennett (have Doherty) or
    AWB?

    I don't like both fixtures longterm and one of them will make way for Mendy.

    Please advise.

    Thanks,

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Keep AWB

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        thanks

    2. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I’d keep Bennett, think wolves will keep more clean sheets than palace

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

    No super sub goal from Auba tonight then against lowly Blackpool.

    Meh!

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

    Any of these moves worth a -4?

    A Moura > Siggy
    B Moura > Martial
    C Moura > Richarlison
    D Moura > Bilva
    E Pereyra > Richarlison

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

      Siiggy looks good
      Not sure on the -4 though

  29. CHARLIE HULL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Both my targets going up in price tonight; Wilson/Bennett to Success/Mendy?

    2FT, Current team; Ryan/Button. Robbo, Alonso, Mendy, Bennett, AWB. Salah, Haz, Rich, Madd, Hojberg. Aguero, Wilson, Mitro.

    Feels risky getting rid of Wilson but fixtures turn and switching Mitro to Arnie next week after HUD fixture.

    Thoughts?

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

      Switch Mitro 1st ,
      Wilson can wait

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

        Arnie coming in next week so it makes sense to keep Mitro vs. Wilson for one more week given the fixture?

    2. Mince n Tatties
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'm making the same moves in - Mendy & Success - but its AWB and Mitro out for me as I've already got Arnie

      Ederson
      Robertson Alonso Mendy
      Salah Hazard Kante Maddison Fraser
      Aguero Arnautovic

      Hamer Success Jonny Bennett

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

        Makes sense, you doing tonight to beat the price rise? Sticking with double Wolves defence?

        1. Mince n Tatties
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Wasn't going to initially - however with R.A.M back in place - the Dbl Wolves Defence for GW13 vs Huddersfield may now be worth keeping
