The Scoutcast crew have some important issues to discuss ahead of Gameweek 17.

The latest episode will broadcast from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT on our YouTube channel.

Manchester City players are starting to wane in terms of popularity but with a trip to Arsenal on Sunday, there’s every chance they punish their sellers.

With very few of Pep Guardiola’s assets offering appeal right now, we sift through some of the strategies around them.

Joe is joined by David and Karam for the latest episode to talk about Manchester City.

Also on the agenda is what to do about Harry Kane (£10.9m), who flattered to deceive in the early games of Jose Mourinho’s Spurs reign, but exploded against Burnley.

Finally, we will discuss how best to approach Gameweek 18 when Liverpool and West Ham experience a blank thanks to the Club World Cup.

    Tammy G
    Willy A
    Pulisic AA

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Lovely AAA from Kante too.

      The energizer!

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Very nice combination. And I dont even like Chelsea.

  2. liboo

    Martial out
    Madisson in

    Yay or nay?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Tempted myself

    2. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't, Martial has a good record vs Everton and then plays Watford and Newcastle when Madds plays City and Liverpool

      1. lindeg
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        everton will sit deep and counter, and man u are only good v possesion based teams

        1. Silecro
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Hey ! I just brought Rashford yesterday, dont do that to me...

          1. lindeg
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            not a good choice imo,striker that plays lm, only upside is that he takes pens, but we'll see

            1. JIMMY TUGGINS
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Have you watched him at all recently?

              1. lindeg
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                yes, pens, keeper mistakes and some decent finishes, but i dont see him as a prolific goalscorer going forward, many other strikers i would like in my team before him

                1. JIMMY TUGGINS
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 4 months ago

                  He's having his best goalscoring season ever and has looked unplayable at times recently, he's far better at left inside forward than striker so I wouldn't hold his position against him but fair enough.

                  1. Salah’s Sonnet
                    • 14 Years
                    6 years, 4 months ago

                    He’s awesome, brace against Everton pending.

                    1. lindeg
                      • 7 Years
                      6 years, 4 months ago

                      i dont see it, but maybe so

        2. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Hopefully have turned a corner but yeah, that's another reason why I haven't torn up my team to get Rash in.

    3. Blunder fc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      nay, leicester have city next

  3. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    RIP Jim Smith 🙁

    1. villa_til_i_die
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Indeed. Jim Smith & Ron Saunders within4 days

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Gentleman, sad loss of a decent coach and man.

    3. Bandwagondude
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Sad news rip Jim

  4. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    That’s the stuff Tammy now stay fit so I can bring you in tonight !

  5. I Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Probably doing Firmino -> Abraham tonight.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Reasonable

  6. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    My one wish for FPL, allow one to have any number of players from any position. I'd probably get 8 goalies and 7 strikers!

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I would like to have any number of players from the same team

    2. Bandwagondude
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I’d be right up for 15 strikers, all out attack!

  7. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I think those who sold Tammy when he was injured are regretting it.

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Ings should teach them

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Ings punters were really punished!

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        🙂

    3. kennethrhcp

      water is wet

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        The sun is warm

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Jesus is English

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Football is hockey

    4. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I am even though I got Ings in.

    5. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, not me.
      2 good gameweeks and Tammy back in for Bournemouth at home.

    6. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Nah, got Kane so okay for now.

    7. lindeg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      got jesus who returned 17 in 3, so was alright

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Got rid of Abraham for Ings but got Abraham back for Jimenez.

    8. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      How? Sold Tammy for Ings - 9-9-8 and then brought him in this week for Jimmy.

    9. I Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Had I kept Tammy I would've gotten 2(from my bench player)+12+2 = 16. Ings got me 26 points so I'm 10 points up and will bring Tammy back now. Sure I lost some value but I'll take points over pounds all day.

  8. Big Sam Time
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    2ft and 0itb any suggestions for me? I need either allli or kane but iv no idea how to go about it, heres my team

    Pope
    Taa, lundstram, Pereira
    Kdb, maddison, mane, Pulisic,
    Ings, vardy, abraham

    Bench, mcgovern, O'Connell
    Cathcart, cantwell

    1. Karhumies
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      KDB to Alli/Son, done?

  9. n-doggg
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Mount to:

    A. Martial
    B. Pulisic

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      C) keep one more week

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      B

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      B

    4. lindeg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      puli rest is coming lads

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I doubt that mate, only Tuesday and he is clearly favoured by Lamps and he desperately needs wins. Needs the best team to do that.

        1. lindeg
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          for sure he wont start every game in christmas with hudson odoi on the bench, but yes, he looks solid

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Oh sure not every game, it’s likely i’ll only be keeping for the Bou game anyway. May think twice if he bags a hat trick or something daft like that, but yeah i’ll most likely move him on after this GW

    5. Bandwagondude
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I’d say A myself, he plays up front and is reasonably priced

  10. HNI
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Salah and Mane both played full matches today. Will there be good chance they are rested vs Watford? If yes then I can just WC now and get salah mane out for son martial

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Don't think so

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      It’s Tuesday. Why on earth would they need a rest for Watford? No chance. Both should start.

    3. Big Sam Time
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Stupid thing to do, becuz at some point you will want either 1 off them in, and if u do that ur guna need at least two transfers to get the funds to get 1 off them in,

    4. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I think both start.

    5. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Doubt it. Off then until 18th and don't see them going flatto the mat for the MilkSheik Cup.

    6. HNI
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      cool WC after liv blank then as planned

  11. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Mount benched again Pulisic starts,more nailed i guess.

    Best option going forward

    A) Mount
    B) Pulisic
    C) Richarlison

    1. Bandwagondude
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      On current form c

  12. golden skulltula 69
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Good evening!

    I want to dicth Jimenez, best replacement long term?

    A. Abraham
    B. Rashford

    Thanks!

    1. Big Sam Time
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Rashford

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A

    3. lindeg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      a, but would ditch after gw18 when wolves play norwich

    4. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Why?

  13. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Joe Gomez in and then to Matip once he is back 🙂

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Good if Pool were racking up cleansheets.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        They will...

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          16 games in and people keep predicting it with a higher line defence than last season, no Fabinho and Lovren still in the squad.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Probably better options to consider with GW18 coming up

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        After GW18. Perhaps start of GW19. Pool are unstoppable at the moment and cleanies will come.

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I'm on double pool defence so won't argue

  14. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Pulisic is really good. I'm scared of rotation, but if he plays like this vs Bournemouth he'll get double digits.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He is! Reminds me of Hazard

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      This couldve been applied the last three games. He looked great just unlucky to finish.

    3. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Need him to get an early sub and CHO to play particularly badly.

    4. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      His FPL form has been poor recently though and Lille aren't good.

    5. Bandwagondude
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      As an ex owner, he’s all puff and no smoke

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Capable of ery top quality though. Will sell for Madisson. though I'm no Madisson fan, not sure why and will keep Zaha one more GW.

    6. Blunder fc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      are people not worried about his previous poor conversion rate at dortmund, highest scoring season was 5 or something before this one

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Things do change ya know? Players move teams and blossom. Not concerned about it at all, he looks great and is explosive.

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Plus Bournemouth are absolutely garbage at the moment.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            They really are mate, there for the taking with all those injuries. Glad i have Puli and Tammy for that game

            1. JIMMY TUGGINS
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Same, definitely worried that Puli could be benched though.

          2. GreennRed
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            They are. Pulisic might do ok but Bournemouth's deficiency won't make Pulisic better, only temporarily look better.

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Just need him for that game

              1. GreennRed
                • 14 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Go for it. I'm selling him. Who are you selling for him? Knock 0.5m off and I could be interested 😉

                1. Salah’s Sonnet
                  • 14 Years
                  6 years, 4 months ago

                  Hehe, well i’ve had Puli for the last two games, so i’ll give him Bournemouth and then likely offload.
                  Not sure for who, maybe Maddison even though he’ll have two tricky fixtures coming up, the form they’re in though is amazing.

      2. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Think Diego Forlan. Some players are better suited to different leagues.

  15. CRO KLOPP
    • 8 Years

    Azpi goal

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years

      Emerson A

  16. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    2-0 up. CHO warming up. Hopefully Pulisic will get rested soon enough 😛

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He will get his rest this weekend don't worry

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

        Ey-oo

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Not a chance

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Expect James to come on for Azpi, who will get suspended if he gets a YC.

  17. myteamissheeeeeeeet
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    On WC lads Pulisic or Maddy please?

  18. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    After seeing the Liverpool game there's no doubt in my mind that mane is past it. Blank at the weekend, blank today... GTFO of my team

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Ahhh man, i dunno how you sometimes make these non sensical posts. They are amusing though 😉

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah. If I had him I'd sell him. Brutal.....

    3. Stupendous

      Lol

    6. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years

      Non Salah owners should be very afraid

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Have Mane and feel totally relaxed

    7. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      TAA too hes trash FPL asset.
      Vardy only got 2 goals last weekend he should be dropped from your team too
      Alli 0 goals must avoid too.

    8. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Mane to Almiron?

  19. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Seeing this game makes me want to captain Pulisic, brave, stupid, or genius? I wouldnt be surprised if he hauled, then again, wouldnt be surprised if he was benched.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Better safe than sorry

    2. De Gea Van Dijk. 10

      Got me last week that trap.

  20. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Chances of Tomori starting at saturday?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Seems like he is out of favour

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        He's injured

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Oh, my bad.

      Ok ye but do you think Rudiger will start at saturday also, just came back from a injury. I think he will start Zouma and Tomori/Christensen.

    Nice to see Mount rested for the weekend

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      This is our best midfield. I wouldn't e that confident

    2. dshv
      • 8 Years

      Hope to be in form this weekend

  22. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Rashford or Abraham for the christmas period?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Abraham.

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years

    Tammy looks like a season keeper for 7m

  24. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Scoutcast and Mark Goldberg.

    Early night tonight.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You scared me. My hearth stopped. Scoutcast and Mark....

      1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Snooze fest.

      2. GENERATION X

        Me too, thought Goldberg the wrestler was on it

    WC team everyone? Please pull it apart!

    Ryan
    Robbo Lundy Kelly
    Mane Son Alli Maddy
    Vardy Tammy Rashford

    Button, Rico, Fernandez, Dendonker

    Could do Maddy to Pulisic or to Mount then do Fernandez to Soy.

    Thoughts people??

    How has Pulisic looked tonight? (Asking for a friend...)

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Good, lively anyway, assister of the assister

    2. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Very good. Quick, direct, running at defenders, could have had a goal. Very Hazard esque.

    How come mark isn't on the scout cast anymore. He was really worth listening to over who to look at bringing in for upcoming weeks. Not that the other guys don't do a good job of course

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He didn't enjoy playing FPL while doing it is one reason

      1. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        It's a shame

      2. JohnnyCroat
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I can appreciate the decline in passion for something once it becomes a job and not a hobby. I produce gaming content elsewhere and while I still love it there is a certain spike in stress when deadlines roll around.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Plus 1 on Xabi

  28. Netters2018

    Will Mount start at the weekend? What do people think?

    Not sure wether to start Mount or Alli, can see chelsea hammering bournemouth..

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Don't bench Alli

    2. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I suspect Mount will come back in for the weekend

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Bench Alli?! Faints.....

    4. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Both Shirley.

    5. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Pulisic might be benched

  29. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Which combo?

    A. Pulisic and Jimmy
    B. Grealish and Tammy (+0,8m cash in the bank)

    Thanks.
