There are some big questions for the Scoutcast crew to answer tonight.

The Fantasy Premier League template continues to break up and dissolve while new players are making cases for a place in the new so-called ‘meta team’.

Join Joe, Karam and Pro Pundit Tom Freeman on our YouTube channel to hear their discussion.

The show will run from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT.

Up for consideration in the new template is Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero (£12.0m), so we will begin our analysis with him ahead of a favourable Gameweek 26 match against West Ham.

Meanwhile, those on the chopping block include John Lundstram (£5.1m), Leicester players and other cheap defenders.

Our pundits will discuss which of these they will be keeping and who should be ditched as soon as possible.

Finally, we’ll be looking ahead to the upcoming Blank and Double Gameweeks to assess when the best time to play the chips will be.

  1. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Joelinton doing his best Aguero impersonation

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He has had his legs cut off at the knees?

  2. I Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If Liverpool lose this does WCing early have more appeal due to us being able to go triple Pool and triple Wolves for BGW31?

    1. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Most people have triple Liverpool, and one Wolf already, I’d guess.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Majority already have triple Pool and will have at least 1 Wolves in 27, with more to follow thanks to good fixtures.

      Don’t think it’s a factor for WC.

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This. Got 3 liverpool and jiminez with potentially traore in next few.

  3. elchilangles

    6 years, 1 month ago

    anywhere we can watch the Liverpool vs Shrewsbury match?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bein Sports 1.

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Anfield.

      (It’s not on TV)

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Well shut my sarcastic mouth.

    3. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It's not on in the UK. I'm steaming it.

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Allegedly.

        1. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          How are Liverpool doing?, allegedly.

          1. Marvin.
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            In control of the game to be fair to them. Shrewsbury look a bit overwhelmed by the occasion.

            1. HamezMace
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Damn it.
              Thanks anyway.

      2. elchilangles
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        any hint to the name of the site you're using without breaching any rules of this page or dropping a link???

    4. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Loads of streams about

      1. elchilangles
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        my usual streams site isn't showing it. any suggestions?

  4. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    McCarthy
    TAA Lund Holgate
    Salah Mane Grealish KDB
    Greenwood Vardy Jimenez
    (Button Rico Dendonck Soy)

    a) Vardy > Ings
    b) Lund & Vardy > Gomez & Ings (-4)

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure B is an option. 4 liverpool?

      1. Tmel
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        *Mane is meant to be Traore and Greenwood should be Auba

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Think B makes sense. Gomez plays in GW28, Lundstram doesn't. The hit will pay off soon if not immediately.

    3. oi no professionals
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Trent, Salah, Mané AND Gomez. You having an affair with Mark Sutherns?

      1. Tmel
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I really ballsed that up! Forgot about my moves from last week

  5. InSaneMan-e
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    General question regarding all of you with high team value (>105). How many transfers have you done in total to get there? I get the advantages later in the season but I never get to a really high value.

    Mine is 103.8 with 33 transfers.

    1. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      106.7 (with 0.1itb) 23 transfers.

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Wow. Efficient. Guessing Vardy Ings KDB and Lund were all in before big rises

        1. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Haven’t owned Ings all season.
          Got Vardy late too.

          Had KdB and Lundstram since GW1.

          Had Pukki, Abraham and Mount early too and sold at top value.

          1. InSaneMan-e
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Rashford maybe? He had a steep rise

            1. HamezMace
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              No, not owned him all season either.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      106.9 - 26 transfers.

      Caught the likes of Lundstram, KDB & Mount early on WC.

      Tomori, Soyuncu & Vardy would have helped too along with an 11.5m Mane.

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      107.5
      29 transfers

    4. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      107.1 team value with 31 transfers

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        107.5

    5. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      107.1 with 0.1 itb

      24 transfers

      1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Sitting just inside the top 5k

        Had mount and Lund from.start
        Mane too
        Got vardy reasonably early, ings too.
        Ditched mount in good time

    6. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      108.7 / 44 transfers 🙁

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Haha finally someone with more transfers than me

      2. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Where are you at the moment?

        1. Burger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          On the train going home, you?

    7. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks all. Take home lesson for future seasons is that it can be done efficiently.

    8. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      108.7 > 34

    9. Shuko

      106.3 with 29

    10. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years

    12. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years

      most value in KdB, Vardy, TAA, Ings

    13. LSK
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      105.9 30 transfers

  6. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Already regretting my WC team last week. Anything worth a hit?

    Henderson, McCarthy
    TAA, Robertson, Lascelles, C. Taylor, Williams
    Salah, KDB, Martial, Traoré, Grealish
    Jimenez, Ings, Auba

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not for a hit mate.
      Did martial and son myself. But was a FT

    2. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Have some patience

      You'll be on here with some big scores soon

  7. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Joelinton goal.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Joe Linton scoring, Coronavirus, Lingard goal a week ago...

      The beginning of the end!

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'll give you Joelinton but should we worry about coronavirus?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Lets see in a months time.

      2. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        A Dominic Solanke goal at the weekend and the world will spin off of it's axis and we will all plunge screaming to our deaths.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          We’ve nothing to worry about so 😉

  8. Teahupo'o
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ok to bank the FT this week?

    Pope
    TAA Lundstram Tanganga
    Salah KDB Mahrez Traore
    Kun Auba Ings

    (Button, Cantwell Rico Williams)
    1FT 0ITB

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yea Lund might be benched again. But Rico isn't bad

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, was thinking of shipping him for Egan or Stephens but would kick myself for it if Lundy (PP is 4.0) comes back into the starting lineup.

        1. FourLokoLeipzig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I got Lundy at 4 too, but surely he has to go? He’s got serious competition from not 1 but 2 players, he blanks soon, and he’s the worst type of “defender“ when he doesn’t start - one who comes on for cameos. I hate to say goodbye but I think the party’s over

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Good team

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers 🙂

  9. oi no professionals
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Toying with either:
    A. Vardy, Tammy > Aguero, Martinelli (no hits, keeping Mané)
    B. Vardy, Tammy, Mané > Frimino, Auba, Mahrez (-4)

  10. badgerboy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Howay Goalinton!

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sublinton.

  11. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pope or Henderson? Pope plays in GW28 & GW31! Henderson misses both of those!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If only going with 1 GK - Pope. Otherwise Henderson.

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        If I go with Hendo & McCarthy, both probably blank in GW31!

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Most see 31 as a FH week anyway.

          1. Pep Roulette
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Planning to FH in GW34

  12. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lascelles struggling?

    1. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      People thought a Newcastle player would get through 90 minutes without injury?

    2. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty sure that was Joelinton who went off injured

  13. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lascelles problem

  14. xHaTr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who is the most nailed on 4.3 midfielder?

    1. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lascelles....

      1. xHaTr
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thats a 4.2 defender

        1. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          You know FPL let you keep any of the budget you don’t use at the end of the season

      2. Shuko
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He's a defender in my game.

        1. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          My players play where I tell them to play.

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hayden.

    3. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hayden.....good player too

    4. matiakez
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Looked like Hayden but he's not completely. Was Dendo rested or dropped?

  15. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Saiss or Egan?

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Saiss? Definitely nailed now Boly back? I guess so....

  16. space
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any suggestions for the best midfield option around 7m price-range who plays in gw28? 
    a.) Moura
    b.) Redmond
    c.) Someone else

    *I already have Traore

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go Harvey Barnes

  17. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Liverpool U19s the better, more dominant team in the 1st half but a similar 2nd half from Shrewsbury as the 1st game and there could be a giant killing.

    Magic of the Cup!

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Liverpool are doing their best to kill off any magic that the cup may have left

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Two most magical games so far have included Liverpool.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Much as I'd like shrews to go through, a liverpool blank is far more important.

  18. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who do I bench......

    A) Hayden ( away to Arse )
    or 
    B) C Taylor ( away to Southampton 

  19. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lascelles injured. Great. Blessing in disguise though, now we can shift to Fernandez.

    1. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lascelles is not injured

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Do it quick!

    3. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm watching the game and Lacells stand out player and NOT injured......Joelinton off injured

    4. Robson-Canoe
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You're an idiot if you think this is funny.

  20. timawflowers
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hi all, what would you do with this for this gw:
    Henderson
    Taa, dunk, holgate
    Salah, traore, Grelish, perez
    Aubameyang, aguero, vardy
    Bench - Ryan, cantwell, Lund, kelly

  21. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hey guys, 1 FT and 5.9 ITB.

    Should I keep Vardy for the nice run of games after his next two? Does that mean Maupay has to go or should I get Mane back?

    Guaita
    TAA / Holgate / Webster
    Salah / Grealish / KDB / Traore
    Vardy / Ings / Maupay

    Button / Lund / Williams / Cantwell   

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly get Firmino for Maupay and switch him to Jimi in a couple of weeks... Or just get Jimi now. Would keep Vardy

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks good advice. Is the thinking to get Firmino to give more Pool cover in the absence of Mane? I want Mane back but there is still a chance he could start on the bench if Klopp isn't ready to risk him.

        1. Champ
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah Firmino pretty nailed with lovely fixtures but no body knows what's going to happen with mane. Better to keep ticking along while things clear up

  22. fplking14
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is it risky captaining Mane, Klopp said he would be back after the winter break but is it still a risk?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Of course.

      Even if he does start, expect limited minutes.

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Too risky to captain, we won’t get a press conference before deadline.

  23. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Moura on WC?

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He's not in my wildcard. If that's of any interest to you.

    2. LSK
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Either him or Bergwijn could be good for the Villa game.

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Resisting the obvious toilet gag, I think he's a half decent pick.

      Seems to have nailed the CF spot for now.

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'd like to say I resisted, but the truth is I just couldn't think of anything.

      Hard pass.
      I'll be getting richarlison in to join Salah, son, barnes and Grealish in my midfield. Will bench him or sell him for 29/30

    With this Retsos guy around, who's in danger of rotation in Shef?

    1. Rainer

      Likely a back up CB.

    Thoughts on my team? (1 free transfer, 4.7ib)

    Henderson* (McGovern)
    Trent VVD Söyüncü (Kelly) (Rico)
    Salah Traore KDB* Grealish* (Hayden)
    Vardy Ings DCL

      Get rid of Kelly.

    Anything worth a hit? 0ft .5itb

    Henderson
    TAA, Digne, Baldock, Rico
    Salah, Manè, Kdb, Grealish
    Vardy, Ings

    Button, Greenwood, Lascelles, Cantwell

    Thoughts on Vardy to Auba/Aguero?

    1. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero

  28. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy and Martial out for Aguero and Barnes for a hit?

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Should be 1-0.

    Neco Williams is no Trent.

  30. Marvin.
    • 9 Years

    Liverpool should be in front.
