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.

    How to make money for Mendy.

    Walcott to Callum Hudson-Odo and never play him and have non playing 3rd on the bench or

    Richarlison to Camarrasa. Camarrasa sooner or later will get game time.

    Thanks,

    1. aleksios

      Walcott out

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

        Only chance is to bring him to 4.2 non playing midfielder.

        is that a smart move? And I think Walcott will score against Brighton.

      Save and get next week

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

        already have 2 ft 🙁

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

    2ft. 1,4itb

    Pat Fab
    Rob Alo Trip Dohe Awb
    Salah Mane Lucas Fraser Stephens
    Aguero Wilson Ings

    Just lackin money to do Ings Arna so:
    A) Only Trippier to Mendy
    B) A + Lucas out for someone, who? 1,2 itb left after A

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

      A

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

    Who has the RAM back 3 set up?

    I have 2FT and no big fires. I have robbo and Mendy, with no chels def cover so is it time to get in Alonso?

    Does TAA & Mitro to Alonso and Success make sense? Or just get TAA out for a cheapie that rotates well with my wolves defenders?

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

      I've got RAM but I'm not sure I'd get Alonso tbh due to his price and diminished attacking threat. I guess having no other issues means you don't need the money

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

        Would you go rudiger then?

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

          Luiz due to price

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

      I prefer to call them MAR

    3. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve got RAM and will be keeping all season unless one of them gets a bad injury

    4. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Thinking RAM season for me too at the mo. AWB at 4m buy price and budget defender of choice when vanity or fixtures allow.

  4. Drogba Legend

    2 FT, 1.1 ITB.....with Mendy going up tonight...

    1) Doherty + Knockaert > Mendy + Kenedy
    2) Hazard + Doherty > Sterling + Laporte
    3) Knockaert + TAA > Mendy + 5.4 mid (Deu, Fernandinho or Kenedy)
    4) Something else?

    Fabianski
    Alonso - TAA - Dunk
    Salah - Haz - Maddison - Knockaert
    Aguero (C) - Mitro - Arny

    Rui - Doherty - AWB - Obiang

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

      3 with Deu

    2. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Actually, 3 looks good, and I'd have Fern as 4th mid

  5. Sedemuda

    Did Anderson get injured, subbed at HT?

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 5 months ago

        subbed

      • BoleynWin
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Subbed because he was that poor (I was at the game). Had a really off day, set pieces, tracking back, everything was woeful from him tonight unfortunately.

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

          How did Arnie look for his 30 mins

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

            Was immediately into the thick of it & looked relatively sharp. He did hold his knee early on but I think it was to excuse being dispossessed.
            I’m an owner & definitely keeping for the weekend, Hernandez who’s his direct replacement looked slow & Perez isn’t good enough to start so Arnie should be nailed for Burnley.

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

      Who to go for Barkley?

      1) Schurrle
      2) Rich
      3) Fraser

        Barkley scored from outside of the box and all his shots were outside of the box last week

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

          Those two assists, what about them?

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

            genuine asists

      5. ted mcnure
        • 15 Years

        Surely Schurrle Shirley?

      -Alonso-Robbo-Mendy-Doherty-
      -Salah-Haz-Frazer---
      -Kun-Arnie

      a) WB--Maddidon--Camarasa--Jimenez

      Fab
      Mendy Doherty Yedlin
      Maddison Richarlison Salah Haz

      Subs: Duffy,TAA,bacuna

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

        I am not very fond of that move. However Luiz could score next week and I will need to eat my words 🙁

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

      I can't find a way to bring Mendy.

      Anyone has bright idea how to do it?

      I am doing even out of the box Kun to Arnie.

      Fabianski
      Doherty Robbo Alonso
      Richarliston Schurle Salah Hazard
      Kun Wilson Mitro

      bench: Walcott, Bennet, AWB

      1. aleksios

        Wally out mate

      3. Cookie Kid
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Walcott and AWB out for Mendy and 4.4/4.5?

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

          No money. Walcott needs to go to 4.2 non playing mid. is that worth it?

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

            thanks all lads

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

          Though I wouldn’t do it.

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

          I thought the same too. Hmmm....

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

        Walcott is a waste of time

    6. Lignja

      Fabianski
      Alonso, Robertson, Doherty

        Do it next week?

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

          Well it is 3 transfers next week will be for -4 anyway, so i can do one now and two next week or other way around but -4 is must.

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

      As much as I have a hard on for Arnie, imma stay away (atleast till after man city game)...

      1. the axolotl
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        now i know Arnie's not scared of much, but that? marko scarnoutovic right now i'd say*

        *soz

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

        I think that’s wise with the knee injury concern. Think I’m doing the same and keeping Mitro this week

      3. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years

        Viagra share price limping.

    8. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      With moura staying on the bench tonight.. is it worth keeping or just cut losses and bin now.. have a few defensive issues to fix..

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

        Moura is rubbish

        1. #FPLBhuna
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          He has been lately yep..

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

        I would lose him soon as you can, maybe keep for 1 more week if other stuff to sort out.

        1. #FPLBhuna
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Heres my team

          Want to bin henny and taa (taa cause i need a 3rd liv spot for salah next week)

          henny - hamer
          robbo - alonso - taa - doherty - awb
          hazard - moura - fraser - mane - guendouzi
          kane - mitrovic - vardy

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

            Have you got 2 free transfers? If so i would get rid of Hen and Taa this week, maybe for Fabs and Duffy. Do the Salah transfer next week then lose Moura after that as Wolves and Palace are still OK fixtures to see if he can get anything.

            1. #FPLBhuna
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Nope 🙁

              I was thinking to take hits next 2 weeks

              Gw11: taa + moura > pereira + barkley (-4)

              Gw12: kane, guendouzi, mitro > salah, arnie, success (-8)

              Thoughts?

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

                I don't mind a hit, but that is too many imo. Could you just not transfer out Taa this week then get salah in for a hit next week? as with so many hits will be hard to make the points back.

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

                  so next week for a hit could you do Kane and Moura out and Salah and Success/Kamara in then use extra cash to upgrade guendouzi week after?

    9. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hi all. 2fts to use.

      A) Jiminez+TAA > Success+Mendy
      (leaves me slightly exposed as Success would be in staring 11)

      B) Jiminez+Obiang > Success+Barkley (switch to a 352 formation - Would mean double Wolves defence if TAA no show)

      C) Jiminez, Obiang, Sterling, TAA > Success, Barkley, KDB, Mendy -8 (go all in, switching to a 352).

      Cheers lads

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

        C would give me:

        Fabianski
        Mendy Doherty Duffy
        Salah Hazard KDB Richarlison Barkley
        Aguero Mitro

        Button Success Bennett Wanb

    10. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years

      Did Arnie come through ok tonight?

    11. Team17
      • 10 Years

      Shhhh!

      1. Team17
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Reply fail. But the secret's out: Diangana is a great punt at 4.5...

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

          DIANGANA

          KEEP IT QUIET YER._ tx!

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

      Tomkins > Mendy before the rise? Or wait till the pressers. Would leave this...

      Pat
      Mendy • Alonso • Robbo
      Salah • Haz(C) • Richarli • Kenedy
      Firmino • Mitro • Arnie
      (Hamer / Cairney / Bennett / AWB)

    13. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      A) Richarlison+ AWB to Mendy+Barkley

      Or

      B) AWB+ jiminez to mendy+ success?

    14. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Other crazy idea with 2ft. Still wc unused also for corrective actions.

      Awb and Lucas > Mendy and Barkley

      Would end up with defence of the decade:

      Robertson Alonso Mendy Trippier Doherty
      Salah Mane Fraser Barkley Stephens
      Aguero Wilson Ings

    15. fish66
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Want to get Mendy before the price rise tonight.

      (a) TAA & Jiménez -> Mendy & Success
      (b) Patricio, TAA & Mitrovic -> Ederson, Mendy & Success -4

      1. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years

        B

    16. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Worth bringing in Mendy before he rises tonight?

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

        well it's a risk, some of the lads think he might be rotated even. last time I got him he got injured 🙁

      2. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Worth for long term imo

    17. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Annoying that Arnie wanst rested but at least we know he’s fit. He’s a maverick captaincy choice this week.

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

        he is genuine anti dullard captain pick

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

          He’s going to be my captain.

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

        I thought he was rested?! Sure somebody posted that he was on the bench to begin with.

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

          He was then came on.

      3. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Does he play well?

        1. Unbelievable Jeff!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I read on Twitter that he was hobbling with his knee

          1. Positive vibes
            • 9 Years

      I gave my friend some advice not to bench Robertson over Capoue?

      Who’s right in this dilemma??

      Wildcard opinions would be really appreciated....

      Fabianski
      Robertson - Mendy - Luiz
      Hazard - De Bruyne - Mane - Richarlison - Barkley
      Aguero - Arnie

      (Stek - Success - Bennett - AWB)

        lovely. Mahrez instead of KDB maybe?

          Reckon Mahrez will keep getting decent minutes?

        Solid.

          Thanks - what would you change?

        Nice but I would be tempted with some Kiko action for 4/5th defender

          Is he not going to lose his place in a couple of weeks?

      Need help on this before price changes.

      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.

      -..Thoughts on how I can get Mendy please?

      Fabianski
      Robertson-Doherty-Alonso
      Salah-Hazard-Maddison-Fraser
      Mitrovic-Aguero-Arnautovic

      Ryan-TAA-AWB-Masuaku

      Appreciate some advice! Obviously will sacrifise TAA.

      Some alternatives I'm thinking

      A) TAA+Mitrovic -> Mendy+Ings -4p
      B) TAA+ Mitrovic -> Mendy+ Success -4p
      C) TAA+ Maddison -> Mendy+Barkley -4p

      Cheers

      Would you do:
      Laca + Kenedy -- Murray + Barkley + 2.2 ITB ( can upgrade next week Holebas to Robo)
      for -4?

      How did Kamara start his first game and play the full 90, then drop to 4.3m?!

      Yet Success starts and is the next big enable, with people scrambling to get him in?

        Success score a goal.

      Trying to sort out my GK and bench over the next couple of weeks.

      I know Hudson-O or Peltier won’t get any gametime, but they’d leave with me two decent benching options.

      A) Fabianski, Wan-B, Camarasa
      B) Fabianski, Dunk, Hudson-O
      C) Ryan, Balbuena, Hudson-O
      D) Ryan/Fabianski, Peltier, Murphy
