Scoutcast discusses Raul Jimenez, Man City rotation and the ‘template’

After a chastening weekend of football, the Scoutcast is back to reflect on all the key talking points from Gameweek 9.

You can watch it from 20:00 to 21:00 BST on our YouTube channel, or embedded in the article below.

Joe is joined by Fantasy Football Scout deputy editor Neale and special guest Karam, who has appeared on a handful of our videos already this season.

Currently positioned at 144k in the world, Karam has just deployed his Wildcard and will be discussing the make-up of his revamped Fantasy Premier League squad.

The trio above will be looking at the form and fixtures of Raul Jimenez (£7.1m), Manchester City rotation and the so-called ‘FPL template’, among other things.

There is also a differential for Joe to put forward, clean sheets, the community’s questions and a look at the Scoutcast crew’s Gameweek 10 plans.

With no-shows and auto-subs being the order of the weekend, we can expect the usual mix of sob stories and tales of jam in Rough with the Smooth.

Lessons learned from Gameweek 9

          Tell me about it I captained him 🙁 really think sterling is the better captaincy pick though it’s just a case of whether you are confident he starts. Really unhappy with the recent KDB role since Cancelo and Mendy have been introduced instead of Walker and Zinchenko

      Performance was fine - nothing to write home about, at least from the parts that I saw.

      I think he'll play again on the weekend, you'd imagine its getting to the point where it's his place to lose again. Only issue is when Zinchenko is fit and the fact Cancelo has been deployed on the left a few times now.

      Still - Mendy for next 2 games looks nice if you fancy a bit of a punt

    KDB and Sterling owners the answer is simple.....Lundstram first sub. That way he comes in for whichever one Pep rests.

    Is anyone having issues viewing the results from GW9 in H2H leagues? I don't see the GW9 fixtures and results from my league in particular (Lge 7, Div 41).
