There are a handful of issues for the Scoutcast crew to get through tonight.

You can join us on our YouTube channel from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT but you can watch the latest episode back any time after that.

Joe will be joined by Az and Karam to discuss Manchester United’s new-look side, built around the in-form creative midfielder, and penalty-taking, Bruno Fernandes (£8.2m).

Meanwhile, a turn in the fixtures could mean a return to the headlines for Leicester options including Jamie Vardy (£9.7m), James Maddison (£7.4m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.0m).

After that, the tough decisions to make about life past Blank Gameweek 28 will be our talking point of the week.

      If I was picking again I'd probably go Saiss.

      Maddison is nailed which is nice but I like the goal threat from Barnes

          Goal threat has been a bit higher in the 3 matches Boly has been back for.

          Small sample size of course!

          Cheaper too.

    Norwich have scored two goals in the last 6 and are only just above Newcastle for shots in the box. Really fancy a Leicester cs this week and well the next 2 fixtures after that aren’t too dusty for defence either.

    Welcome Ricardo - very fancy attacking stats too.

        Looked at Doh who makes more sense re 31 but he’s already had his Norwich bonus. WH and Brighton I fancy to pick up in the next few too. But really tight call - let’s see how the eye test is 🙂

            Could follow you minus Robbo (stuck on Mane).

            Actually looking at Ederson as other premium - City are keeping cs now and have great stats in defence. Could they repeat last season late form now Laporte is back? Hes nailed but much less exciting of course.

      Wood if he’s fit has terrific form versus bottom 10 (5.7 ppm and 6 returns of 10). Good 7th 8th attacker. Rodriguez could work too

    Hi all. I'm going to lose KDB for Mane, think he will outscore him over the next few fixtures and I can bring Kevin back in when I wildcard.

    How would you fund it?

    a) Dunk to Taylor
    b) Grealish to Barnes
    c) Digne to Evans/Soyuncu/James

    All for a -4.

      Rico to Taylor? I assume you can't afford Rico to Saiss.

      There is no reason to think he is, he’s started and played 90 the majority of this season

    Salah Dendoncker Traore*
    Vardy Jimenez
    (Button Egan Grealish KDB Auba)

    2FT & 0.1ITB - currently have anywhere between 8-10 players depending on Rico & Traore:

    a) Rico & Grealish > Stephens & Barnes
    b) Egan, Grealish & Dendoncker > Saiss, Armstrong & Barnes (-4)
    c) Egan, Grealish & Traore > Taylor, Fernandes & Saka (-4)

      If this weren't a BGW for Arsenal I'd say C. I like Saka. But with the blank, maybe B is better and hope Traore starts.
