Just minutes before the start of the Scoutcast’s live stream on Tuesday evening, the news broke that Harry Kane looks to have sustained a serious ankle injury.

The carefully laid Wildcard plans of Az, Joe, Andy and David were swiftly jettisoned as they spend much of this episode hatching new strategies to cope with the season run-in without the Spurs man.

Amid the chaos, our quartet somehow manages to stick largely to the script as they answer the key community questions on Double Gameweek assets as well as bargain buys and premium options for the rest of the campaign.

Their regular look at the latest whipping boys, who can’t stop conceding, has a seaside special theme this time around, as the crew also consider those teams who are already packing their bags for summer.

Gameweek 33’s rare strong showing from all four of the crew, as well as the community’s smoothest and roughest moves, also get the once over.

However, Joe’s attempt to start a Dean Martin-style sing-a-long in praise of Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucouré falls flat. At least his cat makes a rare appearance to cheer him up and can be seen on the video version at 1:19:58 on this extra-long, panic-fuelled episode.

    Couple of Spurs questions:

    1. Who's on pens now?
    2. Will Llorente get a run in the team now?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Probably Son.
      He might play one.

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Really? I don't recall him ever taking a penalty for Spurs - closest he ever came was arguing with Lamela over who takes it a couple of years ago. Alli, on the other hand, definitely has.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 day ago

          Alli probably injures from what I’ve seen.

          1. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 day ago

            Then I would personally expect Eriksen, but who knows really.

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      1. Eriksen - takes them for Denmark
      2. Moura and Llorente likely to get a few more mins but I wouldn't trust him to get anymore than 20-30 mins a game

      1. Pumpkinhead
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Dele has though so probably him

    3. Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Dele & probably not.

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      alli apparently, if he is injured I think Eriksen as he does in Denmark.
      Yes but rotates with lucas whoever adapts faster keeps the place

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Oh really. Didn’t know that. Thanks.

      2. Zco
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Thanks chaps

  2. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Do you think moura will play more or llorente?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      llorente personally like last time kane was out

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Isn't he too old? 34 years old now...

    2. beetlejuice
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Moura imo

  3. Bob B
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    GW36, Deeney out and
    A. Duffy->Robertson
    B. Sterling->Salah

    Lloris Foster
    Duffy Dunk Laporte TAA Valery
    Eriksen Son Mane Jota Sterling
    Aguero Jimenez Deeney

  4. Whazza
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Starting to come to my senses, -20 narrowed down to -12, thoughts?

    OUT: Boruc, Luiz, AWB, Salah, Brooks, Barnes

    IN: Ryan, Duffy, Valery, Eriksen, Son, Jimenez

    At best 9 more fixtures over the next two has to be worth it?

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Still don't like that you're opting to keep an out of form Pogba

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Haha, I just can't take him out for -4 with WHU at home and a DGW after

    2. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Keeping Eden? 😀

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Mate! I needed to narrow down the minus points, wasn't possible with Sterling. Fingers crossed he gets rotated!

  5. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Martial out of favor or well rested for PL?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      when going for a big win he plays

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      It's tactical.

      United need Lukaku and Rashford up front in a 442. He'll likely come off the bench. He should start next game.

  6. No Professionals
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    If you could only own one from

    Mane and Salah

    Plus one from

    Sterling and aguero

    For the rest of the season, which would you choose?

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Mane & Aguero

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Salah - Aguero

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Sterling Salah hands down

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      salah aguero

    5. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Always Aguero. As for Mane vs. Salah, they seem to be taking it in turns to have peaks and troughs. Just have to work out whether it's Salah's turn now!

    6. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Salah
      Aguero

      1. No Professionals
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Thanks all, Salah and aguero are my thoughts

    7. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Mane and Sterling. If same price Salah and Sterling

    8. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Salah and Aguero

    9. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Salah & Aguero

  7. barton fc
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    best option?

    A) laporte, jota, JWP
    B) bednerak, son, hughes

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Gotta have Son.

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      I'm a big fan of Hughes so I would say B by a hair

  8. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Any good lads?

    Foster Ryan
    Robertson Laporte Duffy Doherty Valery
    Sterling Mane Eriksen Son Deulofeu
    Aguero Jimenez Deeny

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Team value must be incredible - great team

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Cheers

    2. One for All
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Crazy attack and midfield wish I has your money lol

    3. oispakaljaa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      One player different from mine. I have Jota instead of Deulo. Great team. Good luck!

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      i can afford that team, but would require lots of hits without a WC lol

      1. TheDragon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        I’m sorry for your loss (of points and rank due to not having a WC)

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 day ago

          oh don't worry about that, top of all cash leagues so i'm happy, and with rank. Bless your cotton socks for the non needed sympathy though

  9. JohnCarewCarew
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Huge game tonight. Good to see a strong British core. But Rotherham shouldn’t be underestimated.

  10. Bucket Man
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Been tinkering all day. Like the idea of Salah, and monitoring Pogba. I'm not sure on Ryan and Vertonghen but can't afford much else. Any thoughts on them and team appreciated.

    Ryan, Foster
    Vertonghen, TAA, Doherty, Duffy, Bednarek
    Salah, Eriksen, Son, Jota, JWP
    Aguero, Jimenez, Deeney

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Like it.

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Thanks

  11. WVA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Which 3 realistic players from the Prem do you think United should sign? Not sure if Spurs players are attainable so I've left them out.

    1. AWB
    2. Fraser
    3. Jimenez (Getting on a bit I guess)

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      1

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      ?

    3. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      1. Awb
      2. Maguire
      3. Neves

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 day ago

          Shocking actually the lack of top quality players in the Prem outside the big teams

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      jimenez just permanently signed for wolves. Fraser is shite quality what you on

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Chill bru. Tough isn't it, not much top quality around is there. Any suggestions rather than just abuse?

    5. Red Rock
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      AWB
      Duffy
      Maguire

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Duffy is too old and tbh I don't think Maguire is good enough.

    6. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      1. Awb
      2. Rice
      3. Alderweirald

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Rice is a nice shout, would he actually start and improve the team though?

    7. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      hazard

    8. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Dont need Fraser

  12. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Any streams about? Got no BT and can’t get out!

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Not sure it's legal to share them here sorry

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Plenty

    3. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Footy bite

  13. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Chasing but would having Kdb and sane be to risky ?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      if you want a longer chase. Just KDB will suffice

      1. Ohh1454
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Sane has high points ceiling though and it's 80 points however they have played their WC

  14. Whazza
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Scenes when Alli plays striker in Kane's absence, pushing Eriksen down...

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      *Son plays striker

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Both? They technically play two strikers

  15. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Play one...

    A Doherty
    B Bednarek
    C Rondon
    D Higuain

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      A I guess

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Doherty, I guess.

      Higuain really needs to be moved on though with his replacement starting.

    3. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Lol Piguain !

  16. Tigers Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Any love for Firmino from GW35 onwards?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      absolutely in my WC

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      *Planned* transfer in for GW36.

    3. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Definitely in my WC team

    4. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Think most will have 2 of Salah, Mane Firmino for 36

    5. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Course. 37 and 8 won't be easy.

    6. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Vardy to Firmino in 35

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        This

  17. Red Rock
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    I can get this team currently with £0m banked, how does it look?

    Lloris Ryan
    TAA Doherty Duffy Valery Bednarek
    Salah Erikson Son KDB JWP
    Aguero Jiminez Deeney

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Pretty tasty - defence is a bit light though

      1. Red Rock
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        That's my fear, havent really considered Salah or Aguero but the Kane money allows it.

        Thinking Aguero -> Vardy, and Salah -> Sterling to splash cash about, allows for Jota as 5th mid as well as Trippier and potentially Robertson in defence

  18. Whazza
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Duffy C this week, if he gets only 4 points it's still double a captain fail :p

  19. The Mighty I
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Yay or nay for this bunch?

    Ederson Gunn
    VVD Laporte Duffy Jonny Valery
    Salah Son Eriksen Jota JWP
    Aguero Jimenez Deeney

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      VVD is moving away from template, which should be discouraged

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Yay

  20. Bucket Man
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Best goalkeeper and defender for 10.3 budget? Currently on Ryan and Vertonghen

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Looks the best

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Thanks

    2. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Lloris Duffy

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Already got Duffy, sorry should have said.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Depends on your keeper plan and other starting defenders from now till the end.

      Lloris & Duffy is 0.2m cheaper, Dunk saves 0.5m. But that mightn't work as well with your team, all personal preference.

      Currently on Ryan & Vert myself.

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Sorry should have showed everyone my defence, got this
        X, Foster
        TAA, X, Doherty, Duffy, Bednarek

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 day ago

          Same here, but Robbo over Trent, so I like it 🙂

          1. Bucket Man
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 day ago

            Thanks. Can't stretch to that really so low TV. Hoping nothing else happens now.

        2. KingOllie
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 day ago

          Dunk lloris imo

          1. KingOllie
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 day ago

            Or Gunn Laporte

          2. Bucket Man
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 13 hours ago

            Like it thank you 🙂

  21. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    How this version looking? No bb
    Lloris / hamer
    Robbo duffy dunk / cathcart connolly
    Mane son erikson sane knockaert
    Firmino jiminez / deeney
    (knockaert becomes sterling gw35)

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      That defence isn’t pretty from GW35 onwards

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Ye ill have 5.3 to spend on dunk to someone hopefully

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Good.

  22. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Rate my WC team please guys

    Foster - Ryan
    Vertonghen - Robby - Valery - Duffy - Boly
    Camarassa - Eriksen - Son - KDB - Doucoure
    Kun - Jimmy - Vardy

    Plan is to do Camarasa to Jota next week
    Then do Vardy to Firmino OR KDB to Mane the week after

  23. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Which is better?

    A) Murray(Deeney after gw34), Bednarek, Doherty, Lloris
    B) Deeney, Valery, Trippier, Foster

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      A

  24. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Imagine not having a wildcard right now

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Or a bench boost

      1. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Red arrows for days

        1. jtreble
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 day ago

          Unless of course the template WC team doesn't work so well. :).

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Or a stiffy

    3. Whazza
      • 13 Years

      1. TheDragon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        200+ points minimum

        1. jtreble

      Haha all these rmwct's are very irritating when you don't.

      My non wc team is still looking pretty good for bb though!

    Lloris Duffy Laporte
    Son Eriksen KDB Siggy(c)
    Kun Jiménez Deeney

    Foster, Jota, Valery, TAA

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Do you have a third defender? Deeney

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Looking good. 3rd def?

      1. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Robertson!!

      2. Konstaapeli
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Arse without Sokratis. Play Deeney

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Who is your other defender?

      1. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Big Andy Robbo

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 day ago

          Play Deeney

  26. Konstaapeli
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Howdy, A, B or C to fill the blanks? Thanks.

    Lloris - Gunn
    ___ - Laporte - Doherty - Duffy - Valery
    Sterling - Mane - Son - ___ - ___
    Kun - Jimi - ____

    A) Robbo - Eriksen - Hojdberg - Deeney
    B) TAA - Eriksen - Deulo - Deeney
    C) TAA - Jota - Deulo - Vardy

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      C

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Sorry, actually B

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      B

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        C would open the option to swap Vardy to Firmino after 35. Still B?

    3. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      B IMO

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      B for me

    5. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Pretty unanimous.

  27. redsox

    7 years, 1 day ago

    Thoughts?

    Ryan Gunn
    Duffy Valery Digne Monreal Trippier
    Eriksen Jota Son Richarlison KDB
    Vardy Deeney Jimenez

    Vardy, Digne & Richarlison -> Robertson, Salah & Firminio GW 35 or -> Robertson, Mane & Aguero GW 35

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Is this WC? Would chance Monreal, Digne and Richa if so.

      1. redsox
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Yes on WC, fancied a punt on Digne and Richarlison against Fulham only. Who do you fancy instead of Monreal?

    Been away for a few days, what a difference 48 hours can make huh?

    Anyway, anyone got a non Kane WC team I can copy?

    Any takers for B.Silva?

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Lloris • Foster
      Robbo•Taa•Doherty•Duffy•Valery
      Sterling•Eriksen•Jota•Deulofeu•Son
      Kun•Jimenez•Vardy

      1. HamezMace

        7 years, 1 day ago

        Thanks mate.
        Only one DGWer this week?
        Not having Kane gives me too much money to play around with!

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Think you can find few good ones on every page 😆

    Did Doherty drop last night?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      No. Why?
