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.

    To fill in the two blanks, which is best:
    A) Sterling, 4.5 fwd
    B) D.Silva, Vardy

      A because you can’t play 2-5-3!

        Gives me the option to rotate obviously 🙂 but yes, a regular benching headache

    Who punched Stones?

        Kane threw the punch. Eriksen is like that little manipulating instigator at school who has his mouth breathing friend do the actual fighting.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        This. A family site full of gambling ads.

  5. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Did Pep give Stones the Becks/Fergie treatment?

  6. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    This for the weekend ladies and gentlemen. Sterling assist Kun goal. This is what we need

    If this happens in the weekend I will be on heaven. Kun captain Sterling owner. This would be gazillion pts. Please Pep give it to us.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      So what you need, not we

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        We Kun owners. We Sterling owners. Speaking for plenty of lads here

  7. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    We all know this means Sterling & Kun will blank on the weekend right?

  8. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Fernandinho conceding a pen & Rodri going off with a hamstring injury! Otamendi looks nailed now!

  9. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Play 2 from these:

    Söyuncu (SOU (a))
    Tomori (BUR (a))
    Lundstram (WHU (a))

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Tomori on the bench for me

    2. Rainer

      S&L

  10. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Get Kun off and rested! 🙂

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years

      ^^ this please :/

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yep

  11. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Poor Rodri. He’s been decent

  12. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Otamendi resting now?

    Or 4th choice fit player who can play CB?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The latter 😉

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Fernandinho, Stones and who is the third?

  13. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Those excited about Spurs assets this is Zvezda. Completely different quality imo.

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not just iyo 😆

      Tbf they did beat the eventual champs last year!

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Last year. Trust me. I know quality of our neighbors (Serbia) footbal league

        1. CroatianHammer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          For my part I had been hoping to see Dinamo set records for worst Big Cup campaign ever... can always dream. Suppose Rijeka or Split could replace them next year. Would prefer Rijeka. Had some enjoyable evenings in Kantrida for Europa League in years past.

    2. Fred54

      She's got a great rack...oh wait that's the other Central European model I'm thinking of.

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Link?

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      lol well they are definitely better than the likes of Watford, but theres probably enough weight in the fact its CL not PL.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Watford would easily get a win against them. Delofeu will have a field day. Doucore will smash them

  14. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Sterling bossing the game. Pep to reward him with a weekend rest

  19. Brosstan
    • 9 Years

    *Transfers Son back in*

  20. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    3-0! I bet Spurs wish they could play UCL every week over Premier League...oh hang on.

  21. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    looks like Ndombele doing a good job, he runs so odd though like one leg is longer than the other or something or he run limps.

  22. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I do have Son and Aguero on FPL.
    Keeping faith with them.

  23. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero limping down the tunnel.

    Hatty imminent.

  24. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I'm getting in son kane and aguero

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Did you get fleeced by FPL and pay 30M for Pukki as well?

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Brilliant!

  25. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is Alonso back on peoples radars now? Good value if he gets the run of starts

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Does he still have the same drive and killer instinct as he used to?

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Scotland Yards radar maybe.

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No space for him alongside Chobramount

  26. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Nothing else is working so how about
    3 Pool
    3 City
    3 Che
    And 2 Lei as below

    Ederson

    TAA Matip Tomori Soyuncu

    Sterling KDB Mane CHO

    Vardy Abraham

    A. As above
    B. Ederson and Matip
    To 4.8 keeper and Robertson

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Go for it

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Do you have the money?

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        103.7 SV so yes
        .3 to spare depending on A or B
        With .3 to spare can get to B with nonhits in 3 weeks I think that's what I will do.

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      4.8 keeper and Robbo. Not sure about tomori and soy every week, assume Lundbabe is the 5th? Love the rest

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Lundstram might play ahead of Tomori many weeks.
        Bench
        McGovern Lundstram J. Ayew Stephens.

        B gets me there faster only 3 transfers. A needs 4 transfer and maybe better going Robertson anyway.

  27. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    son > kdb dosnt feel so good now :/

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Will he brace away to Liverpool?

  28. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Son, Kun and Sterling owners must be literally crying!

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Points for everyone

  29. Ask Yourself
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Unlucky Kun owners. Going to be kept on until he scores his hat trick it looks like. From looking at this season it looks like his cut off to play next game is 89 mins mid week so you better pray he scores but city are playing like poop

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He’ll get hooked on 65

  30. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Son has never had a hatti for Spurs, looking like tonight is the night

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Against Zvezda
