The Scoutcast is back once again to cover the key discussion topics ahead of Gameweek 11.

David will be joined by Az and current FFS Mods and Cons joint-leader Andy Goddard this week.

The show will run from 20:00 GMT until 21:00 GMT. You can watch it on our YouTube channel.

Up first, the Scoutcast crew will reflect on a Gameweek 10 fraught with contrasting emotions.

Andy did exceptionally well – David and Az did not.

Then, moving forward into Gameweek 11, we will tackle the Manchester City rotation debate, how seriously to take Leicester’s recent form and whether budget defences are coming back into fashion once again.

    Am Keeping Kün for this GW but not C .. I have Sterling C and KDB

    1. Don Kloppeone
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Jealous of your Sterling. I have Kun and KDB and no FT so I think it’ll be Kun (C)!

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 4 days ago

        While I think Aguero will start still risk of 1 pointer so I would captain KDB who will in all likelihood be involved in any goals.

        1. Don Kloppeone
          7 years, 4 days ago

          That’s for sure the safe option but lower reward.

          Just thinking with my OR at 1.2M maybe the riskier move is the better one

  2. Pumpkinhead
    7 years, 4 days ago

    A - D Silva
    B - Martial

    Would be in a mid along side Sterling, KdB, Salah, Cantwell

  3. AYLD28

    Is Chillwell worth bringing in for a -4 or should I go Soyuncu for free?

    1. COYS Down Under
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Soy is an equally good pick in my opinion

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Söyüncü

    3. MikeBravo
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Soy

      1. Come on you Kante
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Soyunco

  4. FCSB
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Pope
    Chilwell Soyuncu Lundstram Robertson
    Mount KDB Sterling Salah
    Vardy Abraham

    Button Rico Dendoncker Greenwood

    0 FT, 0.3 ITB

    How's this looking, any changes needed?

    Thanks

    1. COYS Down Under
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Looks good

    2. MikeBravo
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Stick

    3. Energetics
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Nice team.

      Not for a hit but would look at Greenwood to Connolly at some point so you have another playing sub.

  5. Tsparkes10
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Looking at Wilson, Longstaff to Mousset, Dilva/Martial. But leaves some crazy benching headache. Hmm

    1. Pumpkinhead
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Moussets minutes are an issue for me - I wouldn't

      1. Tsparkes10
        7 years, 4 days ago

        For now. But when those fixtures turn in 2-3 weeks. Oooof

        1. Pumpkinhead
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Fixture don't really factor in if he isn't starting.

          1. Tsparkes10
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Will do v soon

    2. MikeBravo
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Con

  6. racerx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 4 days ago

    What do you think?

    Wilson, Hayden, Digne -->
    a) kdb + Connelly, Dunk
    b) Maddison, Jimenez, Tomori

    1. Energetics
      7 years, 4 days ago

      A

    2. Royal5
      7 years, 4 days ago

      A

    3. MikeBravo
      7 years, 4 days ago

      B

  7. Energetics
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Current first XI:

    Pope
    TAA Otamendi Soy
    Salah KDB Mount Cho
    Aubameyang Vardy Abraham

    Longer term I want to bring in Robertson, Martial and Jiminez for Ota, Cho and Auba but is Salah to Sterling worth a FT this week?

    Will be reversing the decision in weeks to come but so scared of everybody else in my mini leagues captaining Sterling, seems like the safe option!

    Yay or Nay?

    1. MikeBravo
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Go gut

    2. Totti
      7 years, 4 days ago

      i think yes
      and then get mane not salah

  8. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Who scores better this week do you reckon?

    A) Kane v Everton

    B) Vardy v Palace

    1. Royal5
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Varder

    2. Energetics
      7 years, 4 days ago

      B

    3. MikeBravo

      A

    4. Totti
      7 years, 4 days ago

      kane for me

  9. Macam Dave
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Play Connolly over Wilson? Feels wrong having Wilson on bench as don't wanna burn transfer this week as gonna do double transfer for vardy next week.

    1. MikeBravo
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I might

    2. Royal5
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Wilson in poor form and tough fixture. I'd play Con.

      1. Macam Dave
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Thanks both. Ps I might too hence asking but after some definitive yes no's! 😉

    3. Totti
      7 years, 4 days ago

      i think conolly gets the fixture than wilson
      but wilson might score easily in man u

      1. Macam Dave
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Thsbks. So which you think then..

        1. Totti
          7 years, 4 days ago

          i'm always into the more familiar players 🙂
          then will choose wilson to play
          conolly first subs 🙂

  10. Mr Wizard
    7 years, 4 days ago

    If only there were any long term city fans to provide some solid insight into their team’s preferred lineup..

    1. MikeBravo
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Even they would still be guessing Pep roulette

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Eh?

  11. Totti
    7 years, 4 days ago

    now the most familiar question in the coming days for me and every aguero owner 🙂

    captain:

    A) aguero
    B) sterling

    1. MikeBravo
      7 years, 4 days ago

      B

    2. BellyKlopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 4 days ago

      B

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Sterling

  12. One Man
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Is going light in defense, with just 1 premium defender the way to go ? Seems to work for the top teams in my league

    1. MikeBravo
      7 years, 4 days ago

      You've answered your own question, for now

  13. BellyKlopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Best replacements for Pukki and Cantwell?

    1. BellyKlopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 4 days ago

      0.8 itb

    2. Totti
      7 years, 4 days ago

      ayew and maddison

  14. Captain Beefheart
    7 years, 4 days ago

    City fan at work reckons Ota's days are numbered, Stones and Fern will be first choice pairing, what do people think?

    1. BellyKlopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 4 days ago

      City fans don’t tend to know much - so hard to predict Pep

      1. Captain Beefheart
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Hahaha

        1. BellyKlopp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          7 years, 4 days ago

          I’d probs be happy with ota if I had Lund/Rico - I’d be starts then happy days, if he doesn’t then too bad

    2. Ziyech on the Bench
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Probably is right, I am tempted by Wan B with those fixtures...

    3. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Well it's already happened when all 3 were available so that's the logical assumption but Stones is hardly nailed, his own form has been pretty ropey and Garcia could well come into the mix yet. Ota actually played decent tonight but he's still bobbins and likely won't start on Sat but who knows, Pep and Pep alone.

  15. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    7 years, 4 days ago

    How would you sort this bunch?

    Pope Button
    Otamendi* TAA Dunk Lundstram Soyuncu
    CHO* KDB Mane Mount Cantwell*
    Aguero* Wilson* Abraham

    1 FT, 1.2 in bank

    Cheers in advance.

    1. Totti
      7 years, 4 days ago

      save mate the FT
      very good team
      would say wilson-> vardy but i see 0.1 deficit
      then stick and captain aguero 🙂

      good luck mate

    2. jbenny1107
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Aguero to Rashford
      Cantwell to Silva
      Keep CHO
      Hold Otamendi

    3. Pumpkinhead
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Aguero and Wilson to Vardy and Jimmy

      1. Pumpkinhead
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Hold Ota and CHO. Ota to go over the next couple of weeks.

        1. the dom 1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          7 years, 4 days ago

          What do u mean go over?

          1. Pumpkinhead
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Ota to leave his team over the next couple of weeks (he should transfer him out but not this week).

    4. tucaoneo
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Nothing wrong with Cantwell. You can't have 8 attackers over 5.5. That's just wasting money on the bench.

      1. Citizenkane91
        7 years, 4 days ago

        I disagree. It allows wonderful flexibility between 343and 352, the way to go if you want to rotate defenders.

    5. Ziyech on the Bench
      7 years, 4 days ago

      If CHO starts tomorrow, I would get Ayoze Perez in.

    6. COYS Down Under
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Hold

    7. Angelic upstart
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Ota to Doherty Or
      Wilson cantwell to lacazette and dedonck

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        7 years, 4 days ago

        can't tell if serious

        1. Angelic upstart
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Who me?
          Yep, serious Doherty will be class very shortly. Laca is great value

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            7 years, 4 days ago

            yes
            Haha sorry i just can't get on board with that, Doherty will never be worth value this season, as for Laca, great value? In that Arsenal team? I wish i had your faith.

            1. Angelic upstart
              7 years, 4 days ago

              6mill for Doherty isn't a steal. But neither was 6mill for Alonso last season but he was still a reasonable purchase. Wolves have some kindly fixtures.

              I sort of agree about Laca but believe they'll improve now as he has returned. Bit punty though currently.

    8. Salah’s Sonnet
      7 years, 4 days ago

      it looks good TM, jsut same issue with Ota, but personally i'd offload Aguero and get Sterling in there (to my own stubbornly ways 🙂 )
      Then over next few GW's can shift Wilson & Cantwell out imo.

    9. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Cheers everyone.

    10. MikeBravo
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Cantwell to Trossard.

  16. Firefoxed
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Super confused, but Vardy is too good not to bring in. Trying to get vardy in, 0 itb, what should I do.

    Ryan button
    Trent soy Rico lundstram lowton Mane sterling kdb mount cantwell
    Abraham Wilson jimenez

    Thinking
    A. trent and Wilson to vardy and mendy
    B. Jimenez and Wilson to vardy and anyone else doesn't matter
    C. Mane and Wilson for martial/madisson/dilva/yarmelenko and vardy
    D. Wilson and cantwell to martial and a fodder

    1. Firefoxed
      7 years, 4 days ago

      2ft too

    2. Totti
      7 years, 4 days ago

      wilson to vardy
      and
      jimmy to ayew

      1. Pumpkinhead
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Jimmy out before his good run of fixtures?

    3. Macam Dave
      7 years, 4 days ago

      D for me

      Cantwell is picking up 2 points most weeks and you can only field 7 attackers. I've just put vardy in by downgrading Madison to tielmans. May not work for this week but getting on board given his next 6 or so. Plus Wilson can eat my shorts and Now gone

  17. andre_c
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Aguero owners what we doing?

    1. jbenny1107
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Selling

    2. Totti
      7 years, 4 days ago

      keeping for sure

    3. yakirh
      7 years, 4 days ago

      He is my captain

      1. Epic Fail
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Probably this.

    4. COYS Down Under
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Sold for Vardy

  18. Maneonthemap
    7 years, 4 days ago

    On a wildcard at the moment, any feedback appreciated!
    Gazza McGovern
    TAA Lund Rico/Janmaat (3.9)
    Salah Sterling Dilva Martial (4.4) Vardy Jimenez Abraham GW12:Sterling>Son
    GW13:Jimenez>Firmino
    Thing I’m most concerned about is no KDB, is Dilva enough City cover or is it worth ditching Abraham to try and get him in? Also interested in thoughts on whether Firmino or Robbo are the best third Liverpool option, could downgrade Firmino to Jimenez permanently and upgrade Janmaat to Robbo?

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Sort out your spacing, hard to read

      I like the Silva over KDB move personally

      1. Pumpkinhead
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Agreed with spacing. That being said, you can't say Kdb has played better than Kdb.

  19. Aztec Kamara
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Would you rather...
    A) Lascelles & Vardy
    B) Mendy & Jiminez
    Thanks

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Ohhhh Vardy is a must imo

      1. Aztec Kamara
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah just trying to see how I can fit him in. Keen on Mendy as well though as not many seem to be considering and he’ll do well if he gets a run.

        1. AYLD28
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          7 years, 4 days ago

          I agree with Mendy, is there a way you could get Mendy, Vardy and Jimenez

          I like all three of them (owning two currently)

          1. Aztec Kamara
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            7 years, 4 days ago

            I need to get rid of either Jimi or Abraham to make space for Vardy. Think I want to keep Abraham out of the 2.
            I currently have TAA and VVD. Fine to drop one of them but prefer to keep TAA.
            Annoyingly 0.2 short for TAA>Mendy & Abraham>Vardy

            1. AYLD28
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              7 years, 4 days ago

              I’d keep Jimenez personally, you’ll kick yourself if he does well against arsenal and then look at his fixtures beyond that, he’s also still a differential.

            2. AYLD28
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              7 years, 4 days ago

              My opinion, move to 3 up top

              1. Aztec Kamara
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                7 years, 4 days ago

                Thanks for the input. I’ve looked at 3F but I can’t really do it as have Yarmo and Mount (with Salah, Sterling & KDB) so couldn’t have the 3F I’d want without freeing even more funds up. Interesting on Jimi v Abraham tho will consider that.

  20. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Thoughts on my potential transfer plans?

    Pope (Button)
    TAA Tomori Lundstram (Boly* Rico)
    Sterling KDB Mane CHO (Cantwell)
    Vardy Abraham Jimenez

    GW 11 roll
    GW 12 CHO Sterling Boly* > Martial Son Chilwell (-4)

    1. Pumpkinhead
      7 years, 4 days ago

      This plan will change when Sterling goes off against Southampton.

    2. Citizenkane91
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Wasting two good FTs IMO. Did you get Cantwell at 4.5?
      £ ITB currently?

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 4 days ago

        You think? Another option was

        KDB CHO Boly > Dilva Martial Chillwell

        No I got him at 4.8 so I really want rid tbh. And 0.0 ITB currently

  21. Ziyech on the Bench
    7 years, 4 days ago

    I can't squeeze any Leicester attack in my team, thinking maybe Mount to Ayoze Perez?

    1 FT, 0.2 ITB

    Pope, Button

    TAA, Otamendi, Cresswell / Lundy, Rico

    (S)terling, KDB, Mane, Martial, Mount*

    Abraham, Jimenez / Greenwood. cheers all 🙂

    1. Macam Dave
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Downgrade ota and upgrade Jimmy to vardy

    2. Angelic upstart
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Mount is playing centre mid now so won't get as many points. Sell for Yarmolenko or similar and with the extra cash upgrade Ota for Pereira and you have a Leicester attacker who gets the rare clean sheet

  22. Maddamotha
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Which one?
    A) Rico & Vardy
    B) Martial & Connolly

    1. Phil's Stamps
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Flip a coin. Martial is the only one I aint got and will probably bring in next week.
      Perhaps A.

      1. Maddamotha
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah hard to decide lol

    2. Citizenkane91
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Next gw B, after gw 12-13, A.

  23. COYS Down Under
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Any glaring issues here?
    Gazza
    TAA Robbo Cancelo (Lund, Rico)
    Sterling KDB Mount Yarmo (Cantwell)
    Vardy Tammy Wilson

    0FT 1.8 ITB

    1. Maddamotha
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Wilson and no Pool attack

    2. Citizenkane91
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Not really, though I think your defensive bench is too good and some of the funds should be used to upgrade Yarmo and Wilson combo to Martial/Firminho or Mane/Ings.

  24. mabz1303
    7 years, 4 days ago

    My WC Team:

    Ryan
    Chilwell Janmaat Lundstram
    DSilva KDB Sterling Mount Salah
    Vardy Abraham

    Subs: Button Kelly Rico Greenwood

    Any thoughts????

    1. COYS Down Under
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Martial over Dilva imo otherwise it’s template.

  25. g40steve
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Thoughts?

    Cantwell/Wilson > Martial/Connolly

    Play 352?

    Pope
    Virgil, Otamendi, Trent,
    C Sterling, Maddison, Mount, KDB
    Vardy, Tammy, C Wilson

    Button, Lundstram, Rico, Cantwell

    1.2

  26. cravencottage

    Could use some help please;

    A) Wilson, McGinn, Cantwell > Connolly, Martial, Dilva (-4)
    B) Cantwell, Otamendi > Martial/Dilva, Chilwell
    C) Wilson, McGinn > Connolly, Sterling

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 4 days ago

      It’s tough because sterling looks essential this weekend but beyond if ditchable

      I like A

    2. g40steve
      7 years, 4 days ago

      A

  27. g40steve
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Leaves 1.6 for upgrades.

    1. g40steve
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Too many G&T’s 😉

    2. Pumpkinhead
      7 years, 4 days ago

      ok

  28. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 4 days ago

    From GW12 how many city players are you going to own?

    Many saying KDB only and using sterling to fund a Liverpool attacker.

    I own Mane already so I quite like the idea of going KDB > Dilva and keeping Sterling. Means I can also upgrade CHO > Martial and Boly > Chilwell

      Keeping Sterling so long as no injuries, might keep KDB

      I currently have Sterling and KDB (and Ota but he doesnt count), was planning on losing Sterling for Salah and going with the Salah Mane combo. However with Sterling's form I think it's a sideways move, Liverpool are hardly thrashing teams & Salah's injury muddies the waters further.

      TAA and Mane is the optimal Liv assests combo in my opinion.

    So with Ota playing last night what are your thoughts on him playing this weekend? Think pep will keep him in the line up or time to ship out???

        Saw he that scored but does that mean he will play this weekend??

      Close call. Otamendi played well but I notice Pep say that he had to rest Gundogan as he was only central mid and would play next few games as Fernandinho playing as central defender so sounds like Otamendi will not play

        Thanks for the feedback. Might be time to ship and free some cash up.

        Ota > Soy for free worth it??

            * unless you have good bench in which case wait a week and play him

        Fern is definitely starting CB, it's the other spot that is debatable. I was at the game and Ota was good (1 trademark poor pass aside) but he was up against the B side of a team that has just been beat 9-0 so it's not exactly amazing. I expect Stones to start but wouldn't be shocked if Ota does.
