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.

    Sterling a decent TC option this week??

      Yes but I wouldn’t

    2. Turns

      Could work

    3. De Gea is GOAT
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Considering the same. Everyones saying to save for DG but thats never paid off so far

      1. DAZZ
        7 years, 4 days ago

        no but we haven't had a good LFC DGW option like we will this season. Mane and Salah will be prime candidates for the TC chip with their guaranteed double.

        I did that year sanchez got 20 points...years ago, now

      Doesn't sound like a bad idea. Bit tempted I must say!

      Ota out. Cancelo?

  4. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 4 days ago

    A) Mane Tielemans lascelles

    Or

    B) D.Silva martial robbo

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      7 years, 4 days ago

      A is the sensible.
      B is the bold.

    2. Turns
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Actually like B given Pool's tough upcoming fixtures

    3. BERGKOP
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Flip a coin. B for fun

  5. abaalan
    7 years, 4 days ago

    A. Wilson + Dendoncker -> Connelly + martial
    But leaves me open to ultimate Wilson trolling if I get rid and he does something and martial blanks (bou v mnu). Also have Rico but benching.

    B. Wilson -> Jimenez
    C. Do nothing and keep Wilson

    2ft, 0 itb. No other pressing concerns.

    Sterling's touches in box in last 2 weeks.

    Ota to Cancelo?

    Cancelo seems nailed, starting last 3 game weeks

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Cancelo.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Same question that I have.

        I am seriously thinking of getting him in.

    World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen with another banging week to hit an OR of 87(!) this week, with no chips used yet, and despite a gruelling Fischerarandom Chess tournament this week. The guy is just gifted, its not even fair.

      "NRK TV recently revealed that Magnus is an expert Fantasy Football player, and sister Ellen just admitted that Mags was more interested in today's football results than dissecting the first game [of the tournament]"
      He's as FPL-mad as the rest of us.

          7 years, 4 days ago

          The guy is the sh***est finisher ever. I swear he hits top 1k every season, but f***s the last 10 GWs every time.

      That link was the team name only? Looking forward to the FR final.

      FPL is an addiction, we're all ill addicts at the end of the day

    I was out last night drowning my sorrows after seeing Aguero on the team sheet last night....do we feel he will be benched again this GW ??

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      7 years, 4 days ago

      F*** knows. Both Jesus and Kun starting, we FPL managers got nothing to latch on to.
      F*** Pep.

      he will play

    3. DAZZ

      only one alternative, the man who wasn't even in the squad

  10. JustPark
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Can anyone please stop getting Tielemans in your team? Thank you. And Vardy as well.

    1. teneighty
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Sorry dude. Will get Vardy for a hit tonight if all my players come through the cup-games without injuries.

  11. Sz21
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Anything worth changing here?
    Pope.
    Robbo, Soyuncu, Lundstram.
    Mount, Sterling (c), KDB(vc), Salah, Cantwell.
    Abraham, Vardy.
    Button, Janmaat, A Smith, Wickham.
    1ft. 0.8m ITB.

    1. Turns
      7 years, 4 days ago

      G2G. Probably want to sort Cantwell at some point, but nothing I can suggest without a hit.

      Unless Wickham to Connolly?

    2. StayoutheSpiceZone
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Play Janmaat

      1. Sz21
        7 years, 4 days ago

        over Cantwell maybe?

  12. Benditlike
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Have to get Vardy, but not sure what is the best way.

    My team:
    Pope, Button
    Van Djik, Lundstram, Dunk, Rico, Ota
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount, Cantwell
    Wilson, Pukki, Abraham

    Have 2 FT

    Im thinking Wilson & Pukki -> Vardy & Connolly

    Good ide, or should i prioritize something else. With the two transfers above i can also do Ota -> Mendy/Cancelo for a hit

    1. Bavarian
      7 years, 4 days ago

      VVD > TAA if you have funds

      1. Benditlike
        7 years, 4 days ago

        I can do Wilson, Pukki, VVD -> Vardy, Connolly, TAA for -4

        1. Konstaapeli
          7 years, 4 days ago

          I would do that.

    2. OverTinker
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Can't you do it with downgrading Otamendi? He might not start plus city tough fixtures ahead

  13. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Cancelo looks nailed on now? Want some City defensive cover and have Otamendi right now.

    Thanks!

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      7 years, 4 days ago

      City plays pool next then fixtures not so great I'd keep ota one more week he had a good game last night you never know he might play

    2. DAZZ
      7 years, 4 days ago

      i wouldn't be rushing to get Man City defenders in anytime soon.

      1. OverTinker
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Even if it's Mendy?

        1. Brimble82
          7 years, 4 days ago

          I see Mendy as a Man City winger rather than a defender.
          And I'm happy to have him as one of my 9 midfielders!
          (5 + TAA/Pereira/Mendy/Lundstram - I don't think Rico quite makes the cut)

  14. rodragon
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Digne+cantwell to rico+martial
    Or
    Aguero+cantwell to kdb+jiminez
    Or
    Aguero+cantwell to sterling+Connolly

    1. Turns
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I like A, but would be tempted to get rid of Kun given recent trolling. Rotation risk too strong at that price. So C

  15. Turns
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Morning fellas.

    (1) Roll FT and stick with CHO for Watford (despite rotation risk)
    (2) CHO -> Perez
    (3) Other

    Pope
    TAA - Soyuncu - Lund
    Sterling - KDB - Mane - Yarmo - CHO*
    Vardy - Tammy
    ----
    4.5 - Aurier - Lowton - 4.5

  16. finnish92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 4 days ago

    I want an United player in:

    A) Abraham -> Rashford
    B) Mount -> Martial?

    1. Turns
      7 years, 4 days ago

      B if anything, but Mount if so consistent in FPL

      1. StayoutheSpiceZone
        7 years, 4 days ago

        I would do A of those two but be careful with United

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

      Hows this? I know I need KDB asap

      Ryan (Button)

      TAA / Chilwell / Tomori / Lund (Montoya)

      Sterling (c) / Mane / Mount (Dendon/Cantwell)

      Vardy / Tammy / Rash

        Whoops meant to post this lol

  17. Rinseboy
    7 years, 4 days ago

    I assume my best move this week is probably to save even though Auba has been poor!? 2 FTs ready to get some pool attack seems sensible.
    Welcome thoughts though!

    Pope
    TAA Mendy Lunds 
    Sterling KDB Mount Yarmolenko 
    Auba Vardy Tammy 
    Button Soyuncu Rico Cantwell

    1. Nuka Girl
      7 years, 4 days ago

      No major problems there, looks a good team.

    2. Ze_Austin
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Good team. Can't think of any key changes for this GW, and the Pool attack plan for Auba is nice. You might be benching the wrong one of Mendy/Soy more often than you'd want (in hindsight) over the next 10 GWs, so keep that in mind

  18. Benditlike
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Would you do:

    A) Wilson, Pukki, Ota -> Vardy, Connolly, Mendy
    B) Wilson, Pukki, VVD -> Vardy, Connolly, TAA

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

      A by far

  19. Ajax Hamsterdam
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Must have the most exciting transfer of all this gw, mings to lascelles. Anyone better that ? 🙂

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

      Ota to Soy

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam

        I'm keeping ota one more week. Wish me luck 🙂

                  Cool 🙂

    2. Schafsalat
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Well, I used both FTs to get rid of Ota before price drop: Ota => Boly => Chilwell. Obviously a bad decision to do an early transfer to safe 0.1.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Was all set on doing OTA to chilwell but needed to use my 2 fts to do so. I'd rather save them for next week for selling aguero and yarmolenko

        1. Schafsalat
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Yeah, using 2 fts to change one defender is probably rarely worth it. Ota might even play, you never know.

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Thanks for input

  20. Botman and Robben
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Cancelo nailed for the next few games?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Should be but who knows with pep.

    2. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I would stay away, its not like Walker is horrible

  21. StayoutheSpiceZone

    Pope

      7 years, 4 days ago

      Good

  22. Ze_Austin
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Angelino played well last night but got injured (hamstrung?). Definitely in City's B team for now, yet nice to note for any future FPL interest

    1. Brosstan
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Mendy nailed with Angelino injured?

      1. Ze_Austin
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah. Cancelo can play there but it really would just be to rest Mendy (like Sterling/KDB). So, as nailed as an outfield player can be under Pep

  23. Creedey
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Did Wilson to Vardy last night. 1 ft and thinking about replacing Otamendi.
    Any suggestions?

    Rest of def is TAA, Tomori, Soyoncu and Lundstram.

    Cheers

    1. Eze Really?
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Kelly and bank the money. More than enough defenders.

    2. Ze_Austin
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Janmaat and rotate

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

      Rico

    4. Brosstan
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Wouldn't bother, save transfer

    5. Conners
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I think there's a strong possibility he'll play tbh. I'm keeping for now.

      1. Pieterke30
        7 years, 4 days ago

        And why do you think he will start?

    6. Conners
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Played well last night and City don't exactly have many options if Fernandinho plays in his preferred position.

      1. Pieterke30
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Why would Pep start Fernandinho in his favourite position, all of a sudden?

        Gundog didnt play yesterday so I expect him to start. Would very likely mean Fernand starts as a CB again.

        Then what abt Ota, you think?

        1. Creedey
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Cheers all!

  24. Ze_Austin
    7 years, 4 days ago

    I find it weird that Walker and Mahrez (Pep's first choice right flank before GW8) both got subbed off early in GW8 and played 0 minutes in total over the last two GWs. Was this a reaction to the Wolves loss? Did Pep think the right flank was weak?

    I have no clue what's happening or why. Just wondering what this means going forward :/

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

      Pro tip: never guess what Pep thinks, its impossible

      1. Ze_Austin
        7 years, 4 days ago

        I'm well aware of this 😀

        Just checking if people noticed some method behind this specific uncharacteristic madness. Pep rotates, I know. Shunning players two GWs in a row when fit, after subbing them off in a losing game... Is a red flag

    2. Eze Really?
      7 years, 4 days ago

      They were both shocking against Wolves from what I remember. Pep gets wound up if Mahrez is lazy.

    3. Pieterke30
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Cancelo was their best player vs Wolves (KDB was injured). Walker got taken off at half time. And he hasnt started in the league since. Cancelo has been playing well... but now Im wondering why on earth Pep subbed off Walker early yesterday night to play Cancelo for the last 30..? Is he going to start Walker this weekend, and put Cancelo back on the bench?

      ... Guardiola is driving us all nuts.

      1. OverTinker
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah that was weird. But I have Mendy and I guess he is nailed right?

        1. Pieterke30
          7 years, 4 days ago

          I think he is for this weekend.

          Not sure what to think abt Cancelo/Walker anymore now. Walker played better yesterday than he had for quite a while

          1. OverTinker
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Shouldn't even think about Cancelo or Walker. Mendy preferred replacement is injured plus he is looking good. Should Only consider Mendy among city defenders. Plus I may swap him for Robo in near future as City and Pool fixtures will change

    4. DAZZ
      7 years, 4 days ago

      It's Mahrez's one flaw, and it drives Pep crazy, he is visibly lazy. If you watch closely other players get annoyed as well, i noticed is against Atalanta. One thing you cant be in Pep's system, Lazy, i think it's why Bernardo is heavily favoured, his work rate, he's a work horse.

  25. Conners
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Anyone else considering a cheeky KDB to Son punt for GW12?

    1. Eze Really?
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Other way round for me

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Definitely not for me

    3. Brosstan
      7 years, 4 days ago

      No, kDB is a season keeper

    4. Differential C (Mark)
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Thats the type of move that reaps rewards when someone else does it, but neevr works when I do it.

      1. Brosstan
        7 years, 4 days ago

        It reaps rewards for me when others do it because it's a bad transfer

    5. Over Midwicket
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Transferring in an out of form player, on a white team Vs the best defence in the league and getting rid of probably the most essential player in the game right now. Okaaaaay.

      1. Over Midwicket
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Shite*

    6. Conners
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Fair enough, just thought he looked quite sharp in the last game and unlucky not to score.

    7. Homer21
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Absolutely not

  26. bruuuno
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Pukki > Firmino worth -4?

    1. Conners
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Possibly Connolly over Mount but it's a 50:50 call I guess.

    2. Conners
      7 years, 4 days ago

      whoops reply meant for Burger, sorry. Prefer Liv mid to Firmino if you can do that instead.

  27. Burger

    Team this week:

    Pope
    Lund, TAA, Soy
    Sterling, Mane, KDB, Dilva, Mount

    Subs: Connolly, Rico, Hanley

    Amy changes you'd make?

      I'd play Rico over Soy. But then I wouldn't own soy in the first place

      I would consider starting Connolly instead of Mount. Otherwise no, great team obvs

        Seriously? Mount could do a lot of damage. Connolly might be benched for Trossard (I think this will happen) and he had two jammy FPL assists last GW. Easily Mount ahead

        Nope. Play Mount.

    Pope
    Tomori. Soyuncu. Lundstram
    Salah. KDB. Sterling. Mount
    Haller. Wilson. Abraham

    Button. Cantwell. Montoya. Maitland

    2 FT, 0 ITB

    Haller, Wilson > Vardy + Jota (or another sub 6.1 striker)?

      Keep Haller one more week. Defence needs upgrading

    2FT - sacrifice one and make no transfers as my squad is damn near perfect, or downgrade either Cantwell or Gazzaniga to free up cash? Nothing else is an option.

    Pope, Gazzaniga
    TAA, Tomori, Soyuncu, Lundstram, Rico
    Sterling, Mane, KDB, Mount, Cantwell
    Vardy, Abraham, Connolly

    Hows this? I know I need KDB asap

    Ryan (Button)

    TAA / Chilwell / Tomori / Lund (Montoya)

    Sterling (c) / Mane / Mount (Dendon/Cantwell)

    Vardy / Tammy / Rash

      I'd hold unless you have 2ft
