Scoutcast discusses changing of the captaincy guard

Joe is joined by Karam and Tom from Who Got the Assist? for the latest episode of the Scoutcast tonight.

You can watch it on our YouTube channel from 8pm BST to 9pm BST.

As the Champions League is back on our screens, this episode will overlap with the European action and we will try to bring you regular updates from Manchester City and Tottenham’s matches.

Episode 303 marks a slight changing of the guard when it comes to the captaincy.

After a rotation of Liveprool and Manchester City players in the early rounds of the season, Arsenal are starting to creep into the equation some more.

What impact this should have on our transfers and armband decisions will be the task of Joe, Karam and Tom tonight.

After some impressive statistics in recent weeks, Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) commands some of our time as we discuss if he’s worth signing.

There will also be time to have a weekly look at how defenders are getting on at both ends of the spectrum as well as the success of assets from newly-promoted teams.

          Haha, no i really think he will, I'm an owner and happy to keep for at least the Wolves game now.

              • 8 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              hopefully your bench isn't complete trash...for sure hold

              1. All For One
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Have Cantwell and Soyuncu on the bench, will be fine

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm hoping for one more Zinch start before WC.

  2. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Best option here with 1.2m and 1ft?

    Heaton — Pope
    Taa, Digne, Zincheko — Tomori Rico
    KDB, Sterling, James, Cantwell — Docker
    Kane, Tammy, Pukki

    A: James >> Mount / Yarma / Anderson
    B: James + Kane >> Son + Haller (-4)
    C: Taa + James >> Soy + Son (-4)

    All tempting options

    1. mazkills
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      a - mount

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Nothing tempting about getting rid of TAA

    3. UnitednationsXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Worth doing it tonight as James will drop in price

    4. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Kane => Auba

  3. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Was all set on Auba as my captain this week but Sterling being rested has created a dilemma.

  4. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Dear Aguero, please don't​ play more than 60 minutes tonight! David Silva you too!

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I have both of them in CL fantasy and neither in FPL. Play 90! Play 90!!!

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He has 5 days to recover. Then a 2 week rest. Don't worry

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Captain him or Sterling?

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Kun for me, unless anything happens between now and then to make me think different

  5. el polako
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I wonder, will Serge Aurier gets send off in first or second half ?

    Kane vs Lewandowski

    Lets see...

  6. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Kun and Sterling owners exchange positions 😉

  7. Modest Bob
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Does Aguero look like scoring?????

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He's limping.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Hatty loading!

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

  8. Stoic
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Wow. So KDB is essentially out this week. Have Aurier and Hayden out too. With Rico playing Arsenal away,
    Doing Aurier+ Hayden to Yarmolenko + Soy boy for a hit decent ?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Soy vs Pool?

      1. Stoic
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Have to play one of em.
        Will bench Soyboy

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Tomori instead? it can't really backfire too badly either way

      1. Stoic
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Feel like Leicester is a better defense and don't have to play Soyboy this week

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          a hit for someone you're benching isn't usually ideal, but like I said it can't really go too badly wrong in this case

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Now that’s some bad luck!

  9. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Kun got the assist.

  10. Baked baines
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Aurier starting means Poch thinks he the best RB they have!
    Bodes well from when he returns after his suspension. Gonna keep him now.

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No it doesn't . It means that he is banned in the EPL.

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      he was good because he was on the right side of the CL rotation, now he might not be - I'm keeping either way, Lunny can do a job in his absence

  11. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    WC draft tinkering

    Pope, McGovern
    Otamendi, Soy, Lundstram, Rico, ___
    ___, Sterling, KDB, Cantwell, ___
    Aubameyang, Abraham, Pukki

    A) Kelly, Salah, Dendoncker
    B) Tomori, Son, Mount
    C) TAA, Son, Dendoncker

  12. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Rodri too. Sterling will be playing DCM at this rate

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Zinchenko CDM

  13. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Rodri bad fall...

  14. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Son big miss.

  15. zotter
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    To me sounds like kdb could be out for a while based on language used in the statement...

  16. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Aurier hasn’t a brain in his head.

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Aurier jumps on Bayern player

    Could have been a red

  18. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Aurier asking for a red. He's due

  19. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    OMG how did Aurier not get RC for that. LMAO.

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Son should have squared that to kane

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Son looking wasteful but getting into great positions.

  21. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Clear red card for Aurier. Where is VAR?

  22. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Aurier trying his best to get second red card in as many games.

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    OMG son

  24. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Son goal

  25. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Son G
    Sissoko A

  26. Epic Fail
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Kun trying to walk it in.

  27. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Son essential

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Sissoko assist

  29. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Lovely, Son will suffice as Kdb replacer.

  30. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    KDB -> Son done

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      That was quick 🙂

    2. villa_til_i_die
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      You made the transfer already, an hour still to play and poss injury?

    3. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Have this strange feeling that KDB could be longer than everyone thinks

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        What does everyone think ?

        1. villa_til_i_die
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Who knows, this weekend probably a doubt, so Son looks a good bet, especially Spuds home to Watford after the I.B!
