The Scoutcast returns to familiar ground ahead of Gameweek 18 where Liverpool and West Ham have no Premier League fixture.

The latest episode starts at 20:00 GMT on our YouTube channel and runs until approximately 21:00 GMT.

We started thinking about our plans for the first Blank Gameweek of the campaign in last week’s episode and are able to take a much more focussed look now that Gameweek 17 is out of the way.

Joe, Karam and Andy will reveal their plans for Liverpool assets as Sadio Mané (£12.3m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.2m) are all without a match.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are proving a problem for Fantasy managers as they have now lost two favourable fixtures in a row, scoring just once in the process.

Our Scoutcast crew weigh up whether to trust them in a Gameweek 18 trip to a resurgent Spurs under Jose Mourinho.

Finally, after assessing the best differentials and clean sheets for the forthcoming weeks, we will discuss how to approach the Christmas period considering that some managers still have a Wildcard to wield.

    With Liverpool having so many games in such a short time is it likely that Klopp rotates Salah and Mane?
    Liverpool are leading the league by a good distance and Klopp has done it already this season in a similiar situation

        I think so too. On the other hand I don't think that Son will miss any games. What do you think?

          Son and Alli have every chance of missing 1 too in my opinion - although it partly depends on how out of favour Eriksen is

            I don't think that Eriksen is a threat to Son's game time. Son could still be rotated though. Mourinho hasn't been a fan of rotating star players in the past

    This is going to really dent Liverpool’s confidence. Losing badly to a poor Villa side.

    Do we think it’s going to hurt their league form?

            His curve is heading downwards, even with that recent spike, for the sake of argument!

            Will the curve turn back though, that is the question I guess

    Is Salah now better option than Mane? I could switch Mane this week for someone else (Sterling for example) and get Salah after blank. 1ft, 0,3 itb and I really like my other players so I could use that ft.
