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.

    How does this look?

    Pope
    TAA, Lund, Soy
    Salah, KDB (VC), Yarmo, Mount
    Aguero (C), Tammy, Wilson

    Button, Cantwell, Rico, Janmaat

    GW11: Hold

    GW12: Aguero > Vardy, Cantwell/Yarmo > Dilva/Martial/Tielamans (which one should I pick?)

      I think it’s a bit risky going Aguero captain. He could well be benched again Saturday.

    2. jtreble
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Aguer (C) not for me. Owner.

  2. Cojones of Destiny
    7 years, 4 days ago

    play one
    a. Tomori
    b. Soy

    1. Cahill
      7 years, 4 days ago

      tough one...tomori

    2. Botman and Robben
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Tomori, think Palace have more of a chance to score than Watford.

      1. Cahill
        7 years, 4 days ago

        you have tomori benched over soy below 😀

        1. Botman and Robben
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Team from Monday. Have Tomori playing now.

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

      Tomori, Watford playing without a recognised striker at the moment. 1 goal in 6 games.

  3. bigdip
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Save FT or any changes?

    Ryan (Button)
    TAA / Otamendi Lundstram (Rico,Digne)
    KDB/ Sterling (c) / Maddison / Mount (Dendocker)
    Vardy /Abraham / Haller

    (1FT, 0.7 ITB)

    1. andre_c
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Digne or Otamendi out?

      1. Me Spurs
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Has to be digne but u need to look at ditching both

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

      As above. Mendy is an obvious shout, but a risk with fixtures/injuries. I would look at wolves and except you may not get a CS this week, but looks better going forward.

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

      Actually a Leicester defender would be a good shout

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

      Or Tomori

  4. Botman and Robben
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Gtg? Good luck to all this weekend.

    Pope
    TAA Söyüncü Lundstram
    Mane Sterling(C) Mount Cantwell
    Abraham Wilson Vardy

    Button Tomori Diop Cleverly

    1. Don Kloppeone

      Gtg mate - nice team

      GL

    2. Botman and Robben
      7 years, 4 days ago

      *Söyüncü benched for Tomori.

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

      G2g with Tomori in for soy

  5. Cahill
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Have 2FTs. Best use of 1 so I can carry 2? 0.1 itb

    heaton button
    robbo lund tomori rico lowton
    sterling salah dilva kdb mcginn
    tammy vardy greenwood

    a) heaton -> gazza
    b) heaton -> hendo
    c) other

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

      Nice team. Are you happy to have Greenwood as a non-playing 3rd sub? Would perhaps look at a strategy to allow upgrading him to Connolly while you have no major fires to attend to...

      1. Cahill
        7 years, 4 days ago

        thanks mate; greenwood very annoying it must be said!

        I suppose I could do lowton & green -> janmaat & connolly?

        not enjoying heaton though either and connolly fixtures not great; as well as trossard being back

  6. Don Kloppeone
    7 years, 4 days ago

    By the pattern this FPL season has followed so far, what the majority of players expect to happen is the opposite of what happens so....

    Sterling blank and Kun mega haul incoming?
    😀

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

      Hope so, I'm captaining Aguero again!

      1. Don Kloppeone
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Me too mate!

        It’s going to be carnage!
        My 1.2M OR will become 4M or 200k I reckon 😆

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          7 years, 4 days ago

          This gw could see big switches in ranks definitely with the aguero v sterling captaincy

          1. Don Kloppeone
            7 years, 4 days ago

            I don't know if I can bring myself to come on here until Sunday at least - it'll be mayhem!

            Although I would take a Kun - Sterling double blank as a worst case scenario 😉

        2. WWF
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Thinking TC just for lols

          1. Don Kloppeone
            7 years, 4 days ago

            I think that may just be a step too far for me

            I've done skydiving ... but wouldn't do it without an instructor with me 😉

            1. WWF
              7 years, 4 days ago

              Hahaha love the analogy, very true

              1. Don Kloppeone
                7 years, 4 days ago

                Nobody likes to see a triple 1pter in their GW history!

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

      It’s a very inconsistent season. This is shown by the low average scores.

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

    Two questions:

    1. Which 2 defenders do I play alongside TAA from the following: Lundstram (BUR), Dunk (NOR), Soy (Cry), Rico (Mun)
    2. Do I play McTominay (Bou) or Connolly (NOR)

    1. Cahill
      7 years, 4 days ago

      lund & dunk
      connolly

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

        Soy/Lundstram (not much to split them two)

        Mctominay. I’d be concerned Connolly is shifted to the bench with Trossards return.

  8. Tshelby
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Bottemed

    Connolly owners with a 4.5ish 5th midfielder do you play Connolly through the rough patch of fixtures or do you play with 4 at the back?

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

      Depends who your defenders are. I think Trossard will push Connolly to the bench

  9. WWF
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Best hit you'll take all season do it 🙂

    1. WWF
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Reply fail ...

    1. WWF
      7 years, 4 days ago

      One of the most unselfish team players there is. Love how he leaves the goals to the other lads.

    2. Cahill
      7 years, 4 days ago

      best thing I've seen in a while 😀

      1. KingOllie
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Wengers reaction to that back pass at 1:02 actually made me burst out laughing

        1. Cahill
          7 years, 4 days ago

          likewise! brilliant

          1. WWF
            7 years, 4 days ago

            It's just gold 🙂 Thanks for sharing

    3. OverTinker
      7 years, 4 days ago

      And I guess he got FPL assists in nearly all the goals in this video

  10. WWF
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Wow this really is moving week ... half my team has had a price change (though not all positive!!!) ... markets going mad.

    1. All de Gea no iDier
      7 years, 4 days ago

      This is the reason why the oft repeated adage abut only casuals making transfers midweek is nonsense. These days the market moves so fast you have to sometimes identify your transfer targets and make the move even if it entails a slight risk of them getting injured in midweek matches.

      This GW my hand was forced again to bring in Martial and Vardy. They have both risen and the players going the other way have both fallen in value. I only had the exact funds so if I had left it another 24 hours I could not have made the transfers.

      Sometimes you have to take the risk.

      1. WWF
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Martial Vardy Aguero Son Lundy Firmino Vardy Mane Digne Pukki Kane Ings Jimi Maddie Barnes Teilemanns DeBruyne Greenwood Mahrez all within the past couple days ... hectic !!!!

    2. Davido989
      7 years, 4 days ago

      It's frustrating and annoying. This game punishes patient players, and seemingly encourages you to monitor FPL every day which is something not everyone has time for.

      1. WWF
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Truth!!! It's like trying to play tactical poker when the other guys just keep going all in and it ends up a roll of the dice ...

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        7 years, 4 days ago

        I agree it's something which could be looked at. Checking fpl stats every night before I go to sleep is unhealthy and sad.

        1. Davido989
          7 years, 4 days ago

          It's 100% sad. This is where the game becomes an addiction and gets out of hand. I recall a prominent poster struggling mentally because of FPL, so perhaps more needs to be done to make it an everyday thing you have to check.

          For example: Price changes happen every Monday and Friday only etc.

          It's something FPL need to look into, imo.

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Not even planning on doing a transfer this week either and I'm still looking in the false hope Vardy doesn't rise 0.3. 1000% sad.

            I think they should be rises the night all matches in a GW have finished and the night before the GW kicks off - not limited to 0.1 increments either.

            I can also see this adding to team variation. People have more time to think of transfers rather than just kneejerk in the highest scorer that week.

          2. df34
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            7 years, 4 days ago

            I agree Berbinho, everyday price changes is not needed. Monday and Fri would be fair. Just after weekend games and just before new games for the following week

            1. WWF
              7 years, 4 days ago

              Yeh, once a week even. Checking daily would do my head in and is simply not for me.

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

        Yep. I have less time this year to focus on fpl. I find that if I just wait until Friday I don't know what price changes have happened so I work with what I have. If I'm monitoring it all week it stresses me out!

        1. WWF
          7 years, 4 days ago

          It is a dangerous addiction for sure. Time sink !!!!

      4. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Agreed ... was playing aggressively last year, early transfer and hits and stuffs. This year I tried to be patient, keeping WC longer than usual etc. Guess what, got severe punishment on my TV ...

  11. Kizza_10
    7 years, 4 days ago

    What to do with Aubameyang & Yarmelenko?

    A. Vardy & Martial
    B. Vardy & KDB & Rico (VVD out and -4 hit)
    C. Keep

    1. The 5% Team
      7 years, 4 days ago

      A, but would rather do both next GW

  12. WE ARE RANGERS
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Gonna keep them for one more week but after next GW...
    Maddison, Mahrez and 2.2 million to which two mids?

    Current team
    Gaz
    Trent Pereira Tomori
    Sterling De Bruyne Mahrez Maddison
    Vardy Abraham Connolly

    McGovern Lundstram McGinn Reid

    2.2 mill ITB

    Tomori, Lundstram, McGinn, Connolly fighting for two spots on my team each week.

    1. All de Gea no iDier
      7 years, 4 days ago

      If Bilva get banned you'll regret moving Mahrez and Maddison has just run into form at the right time for his fixtures. Sit tight.

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

    Is anyone moving for Kane?

    Feel like he is being massively overlooked

    1. GreennRed
      7 years, 4 days ago

      He could be. Spurs look to be turning their fortunes around.

      1. All de Gea no iDier
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Do they?

        Seem like another team at war with their manager to me.

        1. GreennRed
          7 years, 4 days ago

          You could be right but I think it's Poch v Levy and it's affecting the team. Alli has been poor though.

      2. jamie1972
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Not so sure, fair do's good CL win but other than that?

        The Liverpool scoreline flattered them big time, could have been a thrashing on another day

    2. Dosh
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Have Auba and considered Auba-->Kane. But feels too sideways for this week

  14. EL_FENOMENO
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Afraid not owning Sterling this week. Aguero + CHO to Ayew + Raz for -4 mad?

    1. andre_c
      7 years, 4 days ago

      yes...mad

      1. WWF
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Yes, mad not to do it!!! Go go go

    2. Don Kloppeone
      7 years, 4 days ago

      A hit to switch Kun to Sterling has to be bonkers imo

      Of course it COULD end up working if Kun blanks/ doesn't play but it's mega-risky

      1. WWF
        7 years, 4 days ago

        For me the upside is CHO to Ayew. Ayew is good this season and plays Burnley at home. CHO could be ok but also could be benched. Very in nailed. Sterling may be more nailed than Aguero but I feel the great difference is in the other two players. Then Kun bangs in four at home V Saints ... but lol

        1. WWF
          7 years, 4 days ago

          TC Kun !!!!

  15. Davido989
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Liverpool's fixtures about to get really tasty.

    avl, MCI, cpl, BRI, EVE, bou, WAT

    Get your 3 😉

    1. King Kohli
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Who to add to TAA + Mane, Salah or Robbo?

      1. Davido989
        7 years, 4 days ago

        I'm not sold on double defence given Matip's injury and Klopp's seemingly preferring Lovren at the moment.

        My ideal 3 would be TAA, Salah and Mane but I think TAA, Salah and Firmino is really good too.

    2. GreennRed
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Sold Salah for Son. Been poor by his standards, nig loiking fully fit. Keeping Trent and Firmino.

      1. Davido989
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah he hasn't looked particularly great. Saw a tweet the other day which showed that this period (Nov-Dec) has twice in a row been his best period for Liverpool - he has the fixtures for it. You're right though, he doesn't look fully fit.

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Easy. Lovren, Wijnaldum, Firmino.

      1. GreennRed
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Methinks you jest. Lovren is a poor defender.

        1. Davido989
          7 years, 4 days ago

          That's a kind way to put it. There's 2 things stopping Liverpool from winning the title - Man City and Dejan Lovren.

    4. WWF
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I'm going Robbo, Firmino and possibly Salah/Mane not sure which yet. Double trade after ManC game.

    5. The Rumour Mill
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Is it not a better time in 3 weeks time? Can't deny Villa away is a good fixture but City home and palace away don't look the best.

      1. Davido989
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Probably so. I do fancy a few goals in the 3 games you've mentioned though.

    6. OverTinker
      7 years, 4 days ago

      They will win but i dont see them scoring many goals. I am not ditching kdb or sterling for liverpook assets. I have Mane and TAA and dont like to add any more. Or may be i will add robbo for Mendy

  16. King Kohli
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Which of these scores the most points this week?

    A. Wilson + Martial
    B. Sterling + Connolly (-4)
    C. Kane + O'Connell (-4)

    1. WWF
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I think the option with Sterling V SouthH

  17. andre_c

    How does this look?

    Pope

      Looks great so it means you're getting a red arrow sadly.

      1. IRBOX âš½

        😆 more than likely!

        1. WWF
          7 years, 4 days ago

          This season lol

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

    Going forward, I know I want De Bruyne, Vardy and Abraham. Would you go:

    A) NO MARTIAL Sterling, Salah, Mount, Ings
    B) NO MOUNT Sterling, Mane, Martial, Ayew
    C) NO STERLING Salah, Martial, Mount, 10m (for a forward + upgrades)

    1. The 5% Team
      7 years, 4 days ago

      A

    2. WWF
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Ayew is better than Ings. Can you get Mount Ayew Sterling Teilemanns Martial ???

      1. WWF
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Mount Sterling Martial Teilemanns KdB
        Vardy Tammy Ayew

        Is almost what I have actually, very affordable and awesome.

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

      Con you do B with Salah instead of Sterling and Mount instead of Martial. Pools fixtures turning. Good luck.

    1. dansmusen
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Playing 3 in each team. Dunk and Lundstarm not better fixtures for me that week so what to do.

  23. _Gunner
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Any ideas what to do with this lot? 1FT, 0.8 itb

    Gazzaniga
    OTAMENDI* Tomori Lundstram Soyuncu
    Salah Pepe KDB
    Aguero Wilson Abraham

    subs: Button Saka Cantwell Rico

    Which is better?

    A- Otamendi > Mendy (play 4-4-2)
    B- Wilson > Rashford
    C- Both -4
    D- something else?

    1. andre_c

    Repost...again hopefully last time

    How does this look?

    Pope
    TAA, Lund, Soy
    Salah, KDB (VC), Yarmo, Mount
    Aguero (C), Tammy, Wilson

    Button, Cantwell, Rico, Janmaat

    GW11: Hold

    GW12: Aguero > Vardy, Cantwell/Yarmo > Dilva/Martial/Tielamans (which one should I pick?)

      not bad. Yarmo > Martial

    Morning FF-ers, current squad (TV: 104.1 / 0m ITB)

    GKP: Pope (McGovern)
    DEF: Otamendi, Tomori, Lundstram (Rico) (Kelly)
    MID: Son, Mount, Sterling, De Bruyne (Traoré)
    FWD: Aubameyang, Vardy, Abraham

    Running out of patience with Auba, thoughts on these switches....

    Aubameyang > Connolly
    Son > Mane
    Traore > Martial

      Can you do?
      Auba -> Maupay
      Son -> Mane
      Otamendi -> TAA

      I would prio getting Otamendi out.

        Its doable but im not sure at Maupay at that price

        Its actually doable as it stands to do:

        Ota --> TAA
        Son --> Mane
        Traore --> Martial
        Auba --> Greenwood

        So tempting....

    Sterling more penalty area touches in last 2 weeks than Son, Auba and Jesus combined.

      Hes the best FPL pick there is imo.

      KDB a close second

    Is a midfield of Salah Mane Dilva and Sterling too much?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
