Are we witnessing the end of the early-season template?
Liverpool have daunting fixtures and alternative captaincy shouts are emerging each week.
Meanwhile, Manchester City assets still look strong, but are beset with injury and rotation fears.
Could it be time to turn our attention away from the North-West of England for our premium picks and towards the East Midlands and North London?
In this latest Scoutcast episode, Joe is joined by Karam and Who Got The Assist’s Tom to look back on Gameweek 7 and ahead to Gameweek 8 and beyond.
Topping the bill is the crew’s attempt to assess which premium-priced and captainable assets to target and which to consider ditching.
By happy coincidence, Karam is on the verge of Wildcarding and gives a sneak preview of his ambitious plans as the second international break of the season approaches.
The ascent of Riyad Mahrez gets an airing as does a stock check on the promoted teams. It looks like Fantasy managers may have to look elsewhere for whipping boys, with the three top-flight newcomers all exhibiting considerable promise.
Tom takes his turn to select a differential, the best clean prospects are examined and a Trainspotting analogy also features in this packed 80-minute episode.
