A Double Gameweek should be a time of excitement, as Fantasy managers look forward to loading up on players with multiple games and wondering which chip to use. 

But the Scoutcast crew are far from enthusiastic, with Manchester City and Everton the key teams in the first such set of fixtures of the current campaign.

In tackling the community questions on the Sky Blues’ pair of games, Az, Joe, David and Luke are fearful of rotation and questionable form, which saw last season’s champions lose to Newcastle last time out.

Meanwhile, a suspension for Lucas Digne and lack of accuracy for Richarlison have left the crew also unimpressed with Toffees players’ potential. 

Also under consideration are the single Gameweek stars who are, arguably, being unfairly ignored and could outshine their double match counterparts. 

The latest on the Premier League’s whipping boys, who are handing oppenents a worrying amount of shots and chances, is another issue covered.

With this packed 90 minute show recorded during the end of the January transfer window David ensures we are kept to date with the latest key moves. 

The crew also find time to look over their and the community’s Gameweek 24 highs and lows, a segment of the show that Az in particular wished had been cut. 

This latest ScoutCast finishes off with the crew revealing their Gameweek 25’s plans, clean sheet picks and differentials selections.

    guys, thoughts on this

    A. Hazard to Sterling (will need to use both FT for this)
    B. Auba to Aguero (straight swap and bank a transfer to do hokey cokey next week)
    C. Both for -4
    D. Neither (only have Sane as a DGW player, keep Hazard and Auba)

    1. Max City
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I would do D

    2. Shineonme

      A for sure
      B maybe

  4. SALVA

      Wondering the same. Can you unhook it after clicking it?

      1. Boris Bodega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I think so

      2. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, you can. Just remember to "save your team" if you do so.

    3. BARIO MALOTELLI
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      So if sane plays both games min points is 12 right ?

      1. Max City
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah providing he's playing both more than 60min, not being yellow/red carded, not scored an own goal or missed a penalty

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Big call. I'm having reservations even captaining him.

      1. BARIO MALOTELLI
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He tatoed himself on the back thats how confident he is haha, who are you captaining ?

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Possibly Aguero if I get him in.
          I've two frees and thinking Hazard and Ings to Brooks and Aguero.
          Otherwise probably Sane .

          1. BARIO MALOTELLI
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Nice moves, good luck... i hope pep has some nice strategy for sane lolo i mean right beck of arsenal is weak spot

          2. Emp
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            sane is more likely to strt both games than aguero

    5. Ten Season Wonder
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Good luck,

      1. BARIO MALOTELLI
        • 7 Years

  7. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is it worth getting Sané/Sterling for Hazard?

    1. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      50/50 - Chelsea look terrible, but its huddersfield.

    2. BARIO MALOTELLI
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure ill be keeping haz against hud...

    3. The 5% Team
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I would do that

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ofc

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm keeping hazard i think but have sane already

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        ^this

    6. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes imo. He’s outstayed his welcome

    7. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      the way i see it is assuming sane plays both then 2 x sane > 1x haz.....will be typical if haz gets a hatty tho

      1. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I think that is a bit over-simplistic; it also comes with a cost of a lost FT though, could get Son in for Richarlison next week etc etc instead of a player with a blank on the horizon, but I get your point.

        Think I'll go Firmino -> Aguero and keep given the uncertainty of minutes

    8. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sane for sure. Think he plays mire min than sterling

  8. Aaa
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Digne to PVA silly? Currently have:

    2m itb & 1 ft

    Pat/Eth
    Rob/Doh/AWB/Kolas/Digne
    Salah/Sane/Rich/Martial/Punch
    Aguero/Rash/Jim

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      What about Lindelöf?

      1. Aaa
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Don’t really fancy Utd clean sheets as much as palace for some reason

  9. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    My team is all lit up with flags and in trouble - best moves here?

    A) FAnderson & Auba -> Bilva & Kun(c)
    B) FAnderson & Salah -> Sterling & Sane(c)
    C) Digne, FAnderson & Salah -> Laporte, Dilva & Sterling(c) (-4)
    D) FAnderson, Salah & Auba -> Sterling, Sane(c) & Kun (-4)

    If losing Salah I’d get him back in for Hazard next week.

    Fabs
    Doherty, Holebas, Trent
    Salah, Haz, Siggy, FAnderson
    Auba, Rashford, Ings

    Steele, Camarasa, Kolasinac, Digne
    Bank 0.7m, 2FTs

    1. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't get rid of salah. Hazard has to be the one to go.

  10. simong1
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking of taking a hit to get Sane in. Alternatively could get Bilva for free

    Do you think Sane will score >4 points than Bilva over the DGW?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Bilva started the last 2 on the bench.

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Suggests he could start the next 2 on.the pitch in my mind.. lol

  11. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bench and team correct here chaps or would you change anything?

    Thinking with the palace double up as opposed to doherty over awb is id rather go all in if im backing one of them.

    ederson
    robbo - pva - awb
    salah - sterling - sane - siggy - pogba
    rashford - jiminez

    fab - ings - doherty - bednarek

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Looks great mate. Good luck!

    2. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't double up on Palace, Fulham have looked pretty good from an attacking point of view with Babel in the side

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Think palace can keep it tight though

        Fulham arent quite the same away from home and palace are no brighton defensively

        Take your point though will mull it over

        Cheers

        1. XABI 15
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          was at the last 2 home games. I'm more confident of Fulham scoring goals now than I have been all season.

          The defense remains a shambles however, Brighton should have been 4-0 up at the half

    3. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No bench boost this week? 😉

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Hahah its a no from me

        Maybe next week 😉

    Ben Dinnery: Pogba is a major doubt for the weekend
    Ole: There is nothing wrong with Paul Pogba

    Can people stop treating this absolutely joke of an """ITK""" as if he has any clue what hes talking about?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      What was the source for the major doubt in the first place, was it even reputable

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He has no idea, he posts people are out/huge doubts and then an hour later posts they are fit and rearing to go.

      Incredible people actually follow this person for news, he has no news. It's basically him recycling articles of the internet

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed

    3. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      All he does is collate the info that everyone else has written. He's no more 'in the know' than the rest of us who read a load of news sources for injuries. No idea where the major doubt thing came from last night, sounded like he just made it up based on Pogba limping through the mixed zone midweek.

    4. IRBOX ⚽

      The bloke seems like an absolute peanut

    Alonso to Keane for- 4?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldnt pal

      Give alonso this week

      Really would not surprise me if alonso returned to the starting xi and bagged a goal and cs this week

      1. barcaa7
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He lost his place

        1. #FPLBhuna
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yes and the deputising emerson just helped the team to their worst defeat in over 2 decades against mid table bournemouth.

        2. Lazaretti
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Chelsea conceded 4 against Bournemouth and didn't score so maybe Sarri needs to change something. Chelsea have good change for CS and if Alonso plays he will most likely get you more points that Keane in dbl GW.

          1. barcaa7
            • 7 Years

  17. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    7 years, 1 month ago

    is sane (c) too much of a risk?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I hope not

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Would you normally captain him in a single gameweek v either Arsenal or Everton? Of course if there aren't better options. Hazard on paper is the best option but Chelsea look awful

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        What has whether you would captain him in a single gw got to do with it?

      2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        v eve yes, v arse maybe depending on other options...... so a double captaincy seems good, assuming he plays...thats the risk

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I may TC him. Or Aguero 🙂

    3. BARIO MALOTELLI
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Just tripled captained him no risk for sure haha

    4. Claudio555
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm planning to TC him

    5. Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's worth the gamble.

  18. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Digne and Hazard to Jonny and Sterling for-4? Or Son even as have Sane already?

  19. Greko82
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Captaincy dilemma

    A) Sane
    B) Aguero

    Thanks and good luck all

    1. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Own both. Not sure. atm Sane C might change it. So not helping much.

    2. Emp
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      sane more likely to start both

  20. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What the feck is going on with TAA? How was he close to being available almost 2 weeks ago, but now still out?

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Don't think the press conference has happened yet has it?

      • Bullet Eder
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He wasn't close to being available, that was wishful thinking from Klopp. Back in time for Bournemouth is the word from the club with Milner set to start at right back on Monday night.

    2. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A) Sterling and Anderson (save 1 FT)
      B) Sterling and Richarlison
      C) Sterling and Sigurdsson

      Currently only one DGW player (Sane).

      Cheers

      I’ve got 2fts, 0 itb and struggling to make my mind up on right moves to make, which keeps costing me with price changes. Amy ideas?

      Fab (Hamer)
      Robertson, Doherty, AWB (Digne, Simpson)
      Salah, Hazard, Pogba, FAnderson, Richarlison
      Aubameyang, Pogba (Kamara)

      Tempted by free hit chip but also looking at maybe Son, Sané and cheap defence for Digne, Famderson, Hazard 4pt hit,

      Any help very much welcomed.

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years

      If Hazard was playing any other team this week he'd be gone in a heart beat.

      1. Shineonme
        • 9 Years

        Huddersfield will sit deep. See Chelsea winming but not by many. The beets I see them winning is 2-0 but it could easily be 0-0 or -0 too. Rather sane instead oh hazard. Sane has two games plus hazard play city then misses gw27

      Will Digne drop tonight, or is he protected because he's red flagged?

          not protected

          He is protected once the flag is removed. So after their game.

          So if he doesn’t fall tonight he won’t fall for a long, long time.

          Not protected now. He will be tomorrow once the flag comes off...

          Thanks all, looks like I need to shift Digne tonight, as I have nothing in the bank to do the moves I want.

          I either bring in Kola now (and bench him) in preparation for next week, or I gamble that Laporte/Danilo outscores Doherty/Holebas by at least 4 points this week.
