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.

Lessons Learned from Gameweek 7

    The scenes when Sterling is benched and Aguero starts on Sunday....

    1. Rainer
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Grab us a straw while you’re at it.

    2. Zladan
      7 years, 24 days ago

      I imagine the line up will be:

      Sterling Aguero Bilva
      Dilva Rodri Gundogan

      Mahrez turn to rest. KDB injured.

      1. GENERATION X
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Wheres Gab?

        1. Zladan
          7 years, 24 days ago

          Super sub.

          He got his PL start last week.

        2. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Picking splinters out his cheeks

    3. Peter Ouch
      7 years, 24 days ago

      You wish

      1. TheDragon
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Nope! I’ve got Sterling and no
        Aguero

  2. Ógie

    7 years, 24 days ago

    All time record defeat by Spurs in all competitions.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 24 days ago

      I choked and then cackled when I checked score at FT

    2. Netley Lucas
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Koln?

    3. FPL Forward Thinker
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Son and Kane in goal scoring form

  3. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Raheem back in form. Captain locked.

    Blank confirmed.

    1. Zladan
      7 years, 24 days ago

      He looked so so good when he came on. Weaves past players with ease. Don’t think he’ll have quite as much luck v Wolves, but still looking sharp.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Hopefully Coady is playing.

  4. Rinseboy
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Salah is gonna tear it up tomorrow now too. then him and Razza will both be shite come the weekend...argggh

    1. Gudjohnsen
      7 years, 24 days ago

      This

  5. FOO FIGHTER
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Spurs defence destroyed.

  6. DA Minnion (Former great)
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Harry gets his pen anyway. He'll be happy enough.

    1. Zladan
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Leth goooo

  7. Zladan
    7 years, 24 days ago

    I’d 7-2 be a Spurs fan.

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 24 days ago

      What language does this work in?

    2. Demí
      7 years, 24 days ago

      What

      1. TheDragon
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Imagine it was 8-2 😉

        It’s a high level joke

  8. Boberella
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Pukki (C) this week then?

    1. Demí
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Not a bad shout, but can't look past Glenn Murray against Spurs

      1. Boberella
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Lol

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Dunk and Duffy

  9. jimmyabs1987
    7 years, 24 days ago

    As a spurs fan, I have no idea what has happened to be honest. I used to think it’s just Levy and the players but has Poch run out of ideas? That high press, high energy and superior fitness seems to have gone and we have zero creativity. There are enough players there to make things happen but I just don’t know what is next...

    1. Rainer
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Riding a star players bird is never going to help things when the going gets tough.

      1. TheDragon
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Thought this had been proven to be rubbish ?

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Say what now?

        1. Rainer
          7 years, 24 days ago

          Vert —> Eriksens wife.

          1. Rainer
            7 years, 24 days ago

            He thought it was a Free Hit.

            1. FPL Forward Thinker
              7 years, 24 days ago

              Wildcard weekend at Spurs

      3. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Jan Vertonghen is trying to model his game on John Terry and can not pull it off.

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          7 years, 24 days ago

          I thought it was Eriksen's wife who had pulled it off?

        2. Ze_Austin
          7 years, 24 days ago

          *pull it out

      4. jimmyabs1987
        7 years, 24 days ago

        It’s all BS

      5. Brosstan
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Imagine being knocked out by a mouth breather

    2. TheDragon
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Something has clearly gone on internally in my opinion

      No idea what though, but it does seem like whatever it is Poch can’t fix it.

      Makes me want to avoid Son & Kane for FPL

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      7 years, 24 days ago

      That's a major spanking tonight.

      1. Ze_Austin
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Domestic abuse. In their new home

        I'd sue...

        1. FPL Daniel
          7 years, 24 days ago

          Poch wants Real

          1. COYS Down Under
            7 years, 24 days ago

            “Hey I’m doing terrible at my current job can I have this harder one?”

  10. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 24 days ago

    KDB>Groß(C)

  11. twisterteo
    7 years, 24 days ago

    What are the chances of Rico and Kelly keeping their spot long term?

    1. Rainer
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Slim. Slimmer.

  12. Piggs Boson
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Sterling is world class. How many wingers are better than him in the world? Very few.

    1. FPL Daniel
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Ronaldo and Messi

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Game changed when he came on. Was getting stale

    3. Zladan
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Best in the PL for sure.

      1. Hy liverpool
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Salah and mane ?

        1. Zladan
          7 years, 24 days ago

          Only an LFC would argue that lol

    4. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Haz Mbappe Neymar Messi Ronaldo if he occasionally plays there, arguably Insigne off the top of my head.

      But he is very very good

    5. Rainer
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Salah.

      Mane a toss up.

      Not many.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 24 days ago

        How’d I forget these

    6. Hy liverpool
      7 years, 24 days ago

      No

    7. Wilshere Knowledge
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Pépé and Saka.

    8. DAZZ
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Gnabry aint bad.

    9. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 24 days ago

      United James 😉

    10. BigBillyBass
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Gnabry

    11. Sharkytect
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Gnabry?

    12. Rogue Todd
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Greenwood

    13. Brosstan
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Daniel "DJ" James and Anthony "Tone" Martial

  13. FPL Daniel
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Trossard captain?

  14. Gudjohnsen
    7 years, 24 days ago

    We're all keeping KDB right?

    1. Ze_Austin
      7 years, 24 days ago

      At least Son's just removed himself as a replacement

      Days after Pepe confirmed his natural price point

      So yeah, Cantwell/Lund might outscore both in GW8...

    2. Zladan
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Yeah, shouldn’t be more than 1 league match if any.

      PP 9.5
      SP 9.7
      CP 10.0

      I can’t afford to sell him.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Why not 😉 Well I bought him later at 9.6 so he is ditchable. He will probably be injured again and drop .1 or even .2

    3. TheDragon
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Think you can’t do anything until more news. If it’s only 1 GW (3 full weeks) then it’s a clear keep.

      Any longer and it gets interesting

    4. Maddamotha
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Depends

    5. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Nope imo. He might be out longer than expected.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 24 days ago

        You’re not going to wait to see if the 3 weeks is enough?

    6. DAZZ
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Yeah, i’ll play Montoya. 3 assists expected after tonight

  15. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Anyone else going with Pukki(C) this week?

    1. DAZZ
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Was contemplating it but Sterling benched tonight and coming on to score the winner, has to be him for me.

    2. Stockport Hatter
      7 years, 24 days ago

      At the moment I am yes. It could change.........

    3. Boberella
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Genuinely considering it.
      Home form. Villa. Has to be a decent shout.

  16. CRO KLOPP
    7 years, 24 days ago

    200 votes for Kun in the captain poll,is it because they can't afford Jesus?

  17. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Any notable injuries tonight?

    1. TheDragon
      7 years, 24 days ago

      The whole Spurs team mentally

    2. Ze_Austin
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Spurs' morale

      Mahrez and Kun looked uncomfortable at different times, but both shook it off

  18. DAZZ
    7 years, 24 days ago

    The international break has come at a good time. KDB owners since day 1, skip this GW and hold him? 3 weeks then to recover. Makes sense

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Yip

    2. Zladan
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Yep

    3. Jayv807
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Yup, just like when Martial got his injury

    4. Boberella
      7 years, 24 days ago

      I’m definitely holding for now and wait for more solid news

  19. Ze_Austin
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Looking forward to the brutal comments in the scout notes for that game 😀

    1. Arteta
      7 years, 24 days ago

      If they include word 7o77enham in the headline I'm buying a membership in a hearbeat!

  20. FPL Forward Thinker
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Poch desperate to use his wildcard and select a complete different squad moving forward.

  21. Regin
    7 years, 24 days ago

    i am playing uefa cl fantasy what a joke!!!! I played my limitless WC and tripled up on city, pool & real madrid.

    In my original gw1 team, i had lewandowski, gnabry and kimmich!!!! but removed all of them thinking spurs away is a tough trip.

    Joke, absolute joke

    1. TheDragon
      7 years, 24 days ago

      You thought wrong

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Shoulda known that rn that is not a tough trip lmao

    3. Zladan
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Ouch. I was close to a WC which would’ve removed Lew and Kimmich, thankfully kept.

      99 points last week.
      41 points tonight. 7 to play.

      I was OR 237 before tonight, I’m hoping many played LWC & WC and won’t have Lew.

      1. TheDragon
        7 years, 24 days ago

        I don’t play UCL fantasy but sound like you are doing awesome! Congrats 🙂

      2. Regin
        7 years, 24 days ago

        last year i finished an incredible 109 OR. after gw 1 i was 50k. dont think I ll have such luck this time.

    4. Vamos Los Celeste
      7 years, 24 days ago

      i capped Lewa and played Gnabry & Suele

      1. Regin
        7 years, 24 days ago

        i captained kun. who thought man city will win by only 1-0? well, 2-0 if u factor last minute goal.

  22. pablo discobar
    7 years, 24 days ago

    I would say Aguero starts at weekend, no international games for him iirc?

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Probably but can't see why that would be a factor

    2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Good point, that makes me tempted to captain him now.

    3. FPL Forward Thinker
      7 years, 24 days ago

      I own Aguero and hate to say this but if he starts on Sunday v Wolves why not bring Jesus on earlier rather than 89mins.

      Seriously thinking to go Aguero to Aubameyang with my FT

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        7 years, 24 days ago

        I retract that. Wed,Thu,Fri and Sat to prepare.

    4. MTPockets
      7 years, 24 days ago

      * if 2 separate points, then no not in Argentina squad

    5. Rainer
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Performances vs Watford & Norwich and another blank tonight might be of more concern to Pep than his minutes.

    6. Piggs Boson
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Yea, I expect Aguero and Sterling to start. But who knows with Pep.

    7. Regin
      7 years, 24 days ago

      i guess i ll captain kdb to be safe

  23. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Are people still going to do KDB to Son?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Prob with this (aside from tonight’s result) is son commitments in the intl break

    2. Zladan
      7 years, 24 days ago

      I would be very tempted if I didn’t own Son already as well.

    3. Sharkytect
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Yeah, he scored, didn’t he?

  24. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 24 days ago

    So can’t see how salah out for apparent tough run stacks up considering its Utd away and spurs at home

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 24 days ago

      🙂

    2. Rainer
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Shhhh. Red on FDR = sell for many. 🙂

    3. Ze_Austin
      7 years, 24 days ago

    Why this doesn't happen in FPL ?

    1. Zladan
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Nice! You should have one of highest scores tonight. 75 with 3 to play well done.

      That’s 34 points more than me (7 to play).

      How many points did you have last week?

      1. Vamos Los Celeste
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Thanks mate. i 'll be subbing the Keeper , Sule & Havertz off , so 65 with 6 to go.
        66 in Week 1

        1. Zladan
          7 years, 24 days ago

          We could end up with very similar OR by end of this week then.

          I got 99 points in week 1.

  26. Zladan
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Many high scoring UCL Fantasy points tonight?

    Just 41 for me. 7 to play.

    No Gnabry, but shouldn’t hurt too bad.

    1. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Captain Lewandowski, CR7, Benzema, Joao Felix, Oblak, why cant I be this good at FPL instead!

    2. tucaoneo
      7 years, 24 days ago

      43. Will sub off Di Maria and keeper, so 39 + five more to come in for me. Armband will probably go to Mertens.

  27. Total Slotball

    Guardiola on De Bruyne injury: "not serious, we'll see on Sunday". Can he play v Wovles? "Right now I don't know, but I think after the international break he will be fit." @SamLee

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 24 days ago

      OK sounds like a hold

    2. Rainer

      Easy keep.

      Man city official tweet just added at the end “After international break, he will be fit“

    6. Piggs Boson
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Typical manager comment. I've been duped by comments like this way too much.

    7. Regin
      7 years, 24 days ago

      is this a joke? from where did this injury come from?

  28. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Best one week punt?
    A. Cantwell to Yarmolenko
    B. Kdb to any mid up to 10.8 for a price loss
    C. Rico to 5.1 or less

    Seems a sin to burn it, but..

    Sam Lee tweet - Guardiola on De Bruyne injury: "not serious, we'll see on Sunday". Can he play v Wovles? "Right now I don't know, but I think after the international break he will be fit."

    I’m holding and happy to bench this week!

  30. Demí
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Here's a question, would you class De Bruyne as injury prone?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      7 years, 24 days ago

      I would yes, gets injured every time I own him anyway

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      7 years, 24 days ago

      He's smack bang in the middle of becoming injury prone

    3. Zladan
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Yes

    4. Rogue Todd
      7 years, 24 days ago

      He often moves gingerly.

    5. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 24 days ago

      It isn't on/off. Less injury prone than Lanzini or Ings, but more injury prone than Doherty or Dilva.

    6. Piggs Boson
      7 years, 24 days ago

      For sure.
