With scores all in the thirties, Gameweek 13 was one to forget for the Scoutcast crew.

After forcing themselves to relive this dire set of points, Az, David, Luke and Joe dust themselves off and look ahead to better times.

Manchester City’s wealth of midfield options come under particular scrutiny during the community questions segment. A total of 44 points from David Silva, Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling against West Ham last weekend makes this is a group of players that demand attention.

Tottenham’s emerging assets in the centre of the park have also caught the community’s collective eye.

Son Heung-min, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen all impressed in the north London side’s victory over Chelsea at the weekend. However, the Scoutcast crew are more interested in their premium-priced teammate Harry Kane to help them take advantage of Spurs’ kind set of festive fixtures.

Elsewhere, David reveals some notable team frailties and the players who are set to exploit them over December. Gylfi Sigurdsson is looking such a strong option in this regard that Joe wishes there could be two of the Everton set-piece specialist to draft into his squad.

Differentials, clean sheets, captaincy and transfer plans are also discussed. With the festive fixture list stepping up a gear, this covers both Gameweeks 14 and 15 as both take place during a frantic six-day block of Premier League matches starting this Friday.

      1. Norfolk&Chance
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Well... I'm going with triple wolves again. Could shift Bennett to wanb?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I prefer our original move.

            Dilva and kun only... so can do salah to Sterling. Tempting ofc but gut says it's bench for him v Bournemouth.

            Arno not due a rise it seems so will sleep on it.. have Felipe A. So may be west ham overkill.

    2. kime67

      if you have 3 city players

  4. Ould Onion Bagger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Ederson
    TAA, Robertson, Doherty, Pereira
    Sane, Sterling, Martial, Salah,
    Jiminez, Arnie

    Wilson, Keane, Hughes

    Thoughts on a Captain from this lot? I'm thinking Salah/Sane or (gasp/lol) TAA depending on how crazy I want to get.

    Also, Martial to Son (-4) isn't worth it, right?

  5. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    If TAA started it would’ve been 2-0 by now just saying

    1. EDUARDO DA SILVA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Gomez isn't so much better, red card incoming

  6. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Kane break a leg.

    Don't shoot me down I'm a Thespian.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      What’s your sexuality got to do with it?

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Is that a lesbian with a lisp?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          No, thats a Lethpian

      2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        😆 Oh man!

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Bad humour is better than no humour. Sadly lacking these days

  7. Stevie B
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    What to do with this lot?

    Fabianski, Foster
    Alonso, Robertson, Laporte, Bennett, Wan-Bissaka
    Salah, Hazard, Richarlison, Fraser, Hudson-Odoi
    Agüero, Wilson, Arnautovic

    0.2 in the bank and 1 free transfer.

  8. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    Napoli 2-0 up

  9. kime67
    • 8 Years

    ahmed hegazy!

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      Bless you.

  10. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Are Pool completely buggered (out) if this and the Napoli result stand?

    1. kime67
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      time to get rid of salah

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not mathematically.

    3. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nah. They would need to win vs Napoli by 2 and hope Zvezda wins against PSG.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        So basically, yes

    4. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No

    5. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Will have to defeat Napoli heavily in the final fixture and hope that PSG bottle their game.

      1. Sir Edo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        More than 1-0 is enough..

      2. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        No tiebreaker is head to head

      3. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Wrong.

    6. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No they just have to beat Napoli at home

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        So a 2-0 win vs Napoli should see them through?

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          As it stands yes

    7. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

      1. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        If PSG lose and Liverpool win final games then PSG out.

        Liverpool have to beat Napoli by two if PSG win is my understanding.

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          It depends on the scoreline as Napoli only won 1-0

        2. Fantastisk
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          PSG aren't going to lose are they ffs

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Just pointing out the ramifications, let's not be a complete Ritchie....

  11. CloudSky

    Huddersfield, Crystal Palace and West Ham are all considering loan moves for Dominic Solanke in January. (@SkySportsNews)

  12. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    1. FPL Scoop

    On WC- which looks better?

    Lloris, Hamer
    Alonso, TAA, -------, Balbuena, Schindler
    Sterling, Dilva, -------, Andersen, Kenedy
    Mitrovic, Kane, Ings

    A) Mane and Laporte
    B) Sane and Robertson

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      B by long way

  14. Dr Van Nostrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Game over Hendo and Lovren completely overrun

  15. Fantastisk
    • 8 Years

    GET IN PSG

  16. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years

    Bye-bye salah from my fpl team

    1. Sir Edo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Why?

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        If pool lose today dumping salah was my plan
        Checkout their congested fixtures in the next few weeks

        1. Pieterke30
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I didnt expect him to win tonight anyway. Salah was always gonna start last game vs napoli

          1. Pieterke30
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Them*

          2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            That's fine.Any result possible in football.Psg are traditional bottlers.

          3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Chances of missing Burnley/Bournemouth away match increase

    2. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      CL has not much impact on PL

      Why bye?
      Because he plays badly like the rest of the team vs PSG away?

  17. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    This looks like when Real under Mou had the best counterattack in the world. Beautiful to see this fluidity.

  18. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Neymar toying with them 😆

  19. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years

  20. KGFC
    • 9 Years

    Looks like PSG and Napoli are synchronizing their scoring 😀 HUGE ask for pool now!!

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years

  22. FPL Scoop

  29. The Mandalorian

    Klopp has definitely changed how Pool attack this season, they look a different team.

    1. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Other teams probably worked them out too...
