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.

      Goood. How is Barkley's future looking gametime wise? Would open opportunities with his price

      Solid mate

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER

      do it - Pep will name a shadow team for Carling cup tomorrow

    How did Arnie play?

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

      With a limp from the sounds of it

      1. Smurf

        Injured?

          No, just took a whack to knee

  5. AlpoShearer

    What shall i do with my two freebies
    0,8 ITB

    Fabianski
    Doherty Robertson Alonso Mendy
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Maddison
    Aguero Wilson

    Hamer - Murphy, W-B, Kamara

    A. Murphy to ?
    B. Kamara to Success
    C. Richa/Maddison to ?

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

    A) moura + taa > barkley + pereira (-4)
    B) moura + taa + henny > barkley + pereira + fabianski (-8)

    Back up gk is hamer and holding henny this long has been terrible

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

      Pereira in?
      Im selling him

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

        Why?

        Fixtures becoming good

        Amartey ankle break likely out for rest of the season..

        Pereira should be nailed now

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

          Thats all true
          He could be a good option
          They are not keeping clean sheets, especially when he plays RB
          Plus, its hard to play after their tragedy

          For me I really want Mendy in and my defense is
          Robertson Alonso Doherty Pereira Bissaka

          I want Doherty and Bissaka long term

          1. TRIPOS TOPPER
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            I sold Pereira. Leicester don't keep CS and every time they have a good fixture we was rested! He will troll me no more (apart from when he gets 15 pts next week)

  7. Spartac Mac
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mane or Salah, Salah or Mane.

    Who to pick and why?

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

      Both

  8. Plymouth
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Would you do King and TAA to Arnie and Balbuena?

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

      (for minus four)

    2. Bonus magnet
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hell No

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

    Poor draw in the EFL Cup. Middlesbrough vs Burton = terrible tie. Hopefully City, Chelsea and either of Arsenal/Spurs make it through so we have a chance of a decent final.

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

      I would like to see Leicester win it.

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

    Is Diangana ahead of Antonio ?
    He played full match today.

    Bench is terrible AWB/Ward*/Kamara* want to go Ward > Diangana -4 not sure its wort it,got feeling i will not field enough players.

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

      Defo not worth a -4

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

      He could get some game time now Yarmalenko is out injured but it will be shared with Antonio. Diangana looked our best player tonight by a mile so I expect some minutes, fantasy wise not a great prospect in my opinion though.

    3. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years

      Cheers

  11. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Was Pereira dropped last game for Leicester?

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

      Maybe
      But Amarty is injured now
      He is nailed

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

    Problem with Diagana, he has to fight both Anderson and possibly Cresswell for time. Thankfully Yarmouth out but still very limited time...not sure if Snodgrass will hurt him either

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

      Why Cresswell and Anderson,they dont play left wing.

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

        right wing*

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

          He seems to have only played 3 games and those were the subs

          Imma avoid him, seems like a cameo type. Whereas Billing, Hughes etc are all nailed

  13. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    What do I need here
    Bett
    Alonso Mendy Robertson
    Fraser Mane Salah Pereyra
    Mitrovic Wilson Aguero

    Pat Bennett Wan B Ward
    1 free 1.8 in the bank.
    Save or do something.

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mendy is nailed right?

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

      Pffffffffti.

    2. The Dead Parrots
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      May have occasional rotation as with other top full backs in the game (Trippier, Robertson etc) but basically yes.

  15. Woody01

    4.6m ITB

    Forster
    Alonso (VC) / Holebas / Robertson
    Mane / Hazard / Maddison / Richiarlson (C)
    Murray / Mitrovic / Arnie

    (Patricio / Barkley / Doherty / AWB)

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      What’s the question? 🙂

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

      ???? Strange capt choice

      1. Woody01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Who would you pick?

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

          Haz

    3. Bonus magnet
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Interests rates are pretty low at the moment

  16. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Sterling or Aguero?

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

      With Sterling I like that when he is rested he is not getting cameos and my bench can take over

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

        Only happened twice, wouldn't take this as a given.

        Think I like Sterling more, however. Seems to have the upper hand on minutes.

    2. Spartac Mac
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Kun is solid, but Sterling close behind on points.

      City's range of midfield options the only worrying thing.

      Toss up for me.

    3. 900-Years
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      better Hazard but Aguero not bad

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

    thinking way upfront.

    Who will score more:

    Kun (MUN) and Richarlison (che) +4pts or
    Mane (FUL) and Arnie (hud)?

    Looks to me that second pair could recoup that 4 pts no?

    Thanks

  18. United84
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Thinking of upgrading AWB to
    A Femenia
    B Digne

    ??

  19. Fork handles
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Should I do Jonny, Maddison, Jimenez out for Mendy, Barkley, Success? -4.

    1. 900-Years
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      leave Maddidon

  20. Black Panther
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Should I bring Mendy in tonight to save 0.1 or wait until after tomorrow's game?

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Wait for more information

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

      Highly doubt Mendy is involved in that game, but if you can afford it, always better to wait ofc

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

      Bring him in, can’t see him playing tomorrow

  21. yemop
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ederson
    Mendy Alonso TAA Holebas
    Fraser Pereyra Maddison Mané
    Aguero Mitrovic

    Bench Hamer Jimenez Neves AWB

    Good to go??
    I'm thinking Jimenez for Arna and then playing Arna instead of TAA

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

    any chance to have 3 liv 3 manc city and keep Hazard?

    Or Hazard will have to go in that case?

    Thanks,

      “Man City have gone away to Arsenal, Liverpool & Spurs and not only have they not conceded but they’ve limited Aubameyang, Lacazette, Salah, Firmino, Mane & Kane to just 1 shot on target COMBINED. That’s how great City have been defensively in big games this season.”

    • Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Willian more or less likely to start at the weekend given he played 90mins tonight?

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

        Less

      2. #FPLBhuna

        Think he still plays and starts

      3. Rage Against The Raheem
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

      Is Aguero due a rest soon?

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        No ....Aguero was rested two weeks ago during international break

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

        He gets plenty of rest

    • Winners900

      Two questions if someone can help me?

      Am I the only one not that confident with Barkley. Obv a great value if he plats, but thats the thing. Cant see Kovasic be benched longterm. Thoughts?

      And what happend to Arnautovic?

      Cheers

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

        Did anyone watch the West Ham game tonight? Hammers fans on Twitter seemed upset that he came on at all as he didn’t look fit.

        I’ve been planning to get him in for two weeks now. The fixtures are great and he’s a wonderful player, but he does seem pretty crocked right now.

        Worth sacrificing Fraser for, in your opinion?

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

          Ha, oops. Talking about Arnie.
