Scoutcast Episode 348 – Spurs and Chelsea players gather support

Joe and Az are joined by Andy for this week’s Scoutcast as they look ahead to Gameweek 5.

Tottenham Hotspur assets are in fine scoring form and about to head into a strong run of fixtures, so it is no wonder that the community questions in this latest Scoutcast are focused on Jose Mourinho’s men. Are Son Heung-min (£9.1m) and Harry Kane (£10.6m) players we should be definitely bringing in? And are both feasible without disrupting the balance of Fantasy Premier League managers’ squads? These questions and more about Spurs are considered by our trio.

The best of Chelsea has arguably not been seen yet this campaign. But with Christian Pulisic (£8.3m) and Hakim Ziyech (£7.9m) set to return from injury and Southampton up next, the community is pondering the merits of early investment in the Blues.

Meanwhile, the current international break has already produced a number of scares, from positive COVID-19 tests to injuries. Amid the pandemic, the Scoutcasters consider whether FPL managers need to alter the way they play, to cope with late sudden withdrawals due to the illness that has shocked the world.

Joe also attempts to make amends with his disastrous Dele Alli (£7.6m) differential pick in Gameweek 1. Can his latest low-owned gem succeed?

There is news of Fantasy Football Scout’s UEFA Champions League coverage, the next four fixtures are frisked and our trio reveal their transfer and captaincy plans.

    Dier, Sterling, KDB ahhghhh. Think I may just bury my head in the sand and hope they all recover in time for the weekend

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I sold them all

  2. Piggs Boson

    I'm really liking Kalvin Phillips.

    I think he'll be England's best DM for the next 8-10 years.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      how did you come with a range of 8 to 10?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I assumed he'd retire between 32-34.

      2. Agger
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I’ve heard this a trillion times. Barkley was going to be the #10 for years. Eric Dier was going to be the next holding player for the decade etc.
        England team changes every year

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          We're all just blind primates taking a random guess at a chaotic future.

          I'm probably way off 😀

  3. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    TAA has been -95% or so all week, any chances of him falling before the deadline so I can pick him up for 7.4 on my WC? 😀

    Cheers!

    1. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'd say most people getting rid of him are on WC so maybe not. Maybe Saturday morning lol

  4. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Van De Beek scores, he should start for United IMO

    1. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don't know why he doesn't, Ole probably wants to maintain relationship with his first team. He's practically an under-the-radar KDB type player.

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Has looked decent when he comes on, should start and freshen things up for Utd

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      The squad is a mess in terms of balance.

    4. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He should start instead of Pogba

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Pogba is a show pony

    5. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He will ....
      Eventually ...

      Too good a player to sit down. Would score vs Newcastle IMO

  5. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Jack Grealish has created 101 Premier League chances since the start of last season, more than any other English player.

    Should be one of the first names on the team sheet.

    Agree?

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      For FPL and England, yes

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        How Mount starts ahead of Grealishi i just dont understand

        Southgates a clown

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Have him in a draft game.
      At least

    3. AnfieldLad
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I saw something on twitter that Gareth Southgate is the most capped England player whilst at Aston Villa and he wants to keep his record

  6. Agger
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Remember when people got sucked into ‘KDB is now a number 10’

    1. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      As long as Fernandinho is not in the side, KDB will continue to stick in the number 6 role

      1. Agger
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Well I tried telling people this, KDB said it himself after that wolves game, he only played #10 because they played a back 3!

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      With Gundogan returning, he should now be a mainstay in the attacking 5.

      1. Ibralicious
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Gundogan is a shade of Fernandinho, very poor defensively. Let's see how Pep plays them in the middle

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I think Gundogan and Rodri will play together.

    3. Studs Up
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He didn't play 10 last season...and see what happened

  7. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pratt

  8. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    MagRED

  9. Joey Tribbiani
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    LOL

  10. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Harry the hatchet.

  11. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Useless muppet!

  12. Monklane
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    His season just keeps on getting better doesn't it?

  13. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years

    #slabred

  14. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Reguilon nailed for spurs in prem?

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Mostly

    2. hewittj1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      not 100%

  15. Dynamic Duos

    MUPPET

  16. ivantys

    Tbf, he got the ball

  17. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pick PEN

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Walker

  18. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pickford doing what he does best!

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Worse than Kepa

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Let's not go too far

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            He's been at fault for a goal about once per game since he became Everton's #1. Consistently poor for a longer time than Kepa, who people only realised was poop last season!

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Stats do not back you up here, especially considering Everton are way crapper than Chelsea

                1. Deulofail
                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  Stats don't tell the story. I tell the story!

        • Shineonme
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          How is he the best goalkeeper in England ??????? I dont think so.

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That's not a pen.

      3. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Confidence starts from keeper, say no more!

      4. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        SOUTHGATE OUT

      5. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Who's the Pickford backup at Everton? Would not be completely shocked to see him come in for some games.

        1. Coys96
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Olsen

        2. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Olsen

        3. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Lol sel.
          Virginia
          Olsen.

          Take your pick . All average.

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            At this point, average is probably a big step up...

            1. The 12th Man
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Something really has gone with Pickford mentally.
              He was decent a couple of seasons ago.

      6. Shark Team
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        How is Kane playing?
        it really matters for me...

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          It beggars belief, I know!

      7. Agger
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I sound like a broken record but England will never win anything with a mid table goalkeeper. It’s impossible

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Who do you suggest all the top 6 have foreign keepers lol

          1. Agger
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Well nothing England can do, but the goalkeeper is trash

          2. Third Eye Vision
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Pretty sure the league leaders have an English goalkeeper.

      8. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Can anyone tell me if Aub falls tonight?

      9. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years

        Klopp will press those Pickford passes,could be circus

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Carlo will press those Adrián passes, could be a circus.

          1. FFSbet.com
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah should be goals,tinkering with Salah(C) after two blanks in a row with KDB(C)

            As things go KDB haul and Salah blank

            1. The 12th Man
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I’ve changed from KDB to Son. Well rested.

                Son good option,if KDB or Bruno are out will get him for hit and (C)

      10. Reeker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Quite unecessary to blame Pickford there by Neville. Feel like he's just an easy target

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Pickford should really have stayed back and let Walker deal with it.

          1. Reeker
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Maybe but it's really not that bad. If Dean Henderson did it they wouldn't look twice
