Scoutcast Episode 352 – Tackling the international break injury crisis

B

I have all 3 and am currently on Werner.

A

B

Can see another Werner rest/benching. Defo don't captain.

Werner is a risk due to the amount of playing time he has had during the IB. I'm currently on DCL (c) and Grealish (vc).

Cheers guys looks like I’m gonna go DCL

B

I would consider having Cancelo/Dias with the strong value they are likely to offer.

Looks ready to go mate don’t need any changes there

Looks nice but prefer 343

Think it looks great but agree, city def needed as well. Personally I think Kane is still going to big player - but can understand that the money invested into ziyech / defence can cover the points difference

Yep, as always getting the right captain will go a good part of the way to making or breaking your game week - who are you on atm?

Indeed, different story if Mo was available though

Yup. Doesnt help all the games as boring as sh*t.

I am considering that. He will get 1 assist probably at home and that's it. I hope he explodes though

Don't overthink it, he's a clear captain choice. West Brom might not roll over but no chance they keep Utd out for 90mins. Bruno nice and rested over ITB, plus 8pm matches have a bit more intensity about them

Worth a free if you have no other pressing issues, especially if captaining.

Do it

Nothing wrong with this move. But I'm keeping Son for the moment.

Im keeping

Yes definitely worth if free

Depends on the Salah news on Thurs. I'm keeping Son for this GW but can see why he can be transferred out to Bruno or Rashford as a captaincy option

I think i will do those moves too.
Maybe getting Salah back for Fullham.

Triple for sure. They’ve great fixtures for a long stretch

Bamford, personally.

If you believe Watkins > Bamford for the next few - and I would support that - than the mythical "triple up" should have zero impact on your decision.

Probably

I’d hold off Bamford fixtures for the next 4 aren’t the best

You'll be back in no time. The festive period is coming

Its a good break for now, because like above^ it will be non-stop after this going into xmas and will end up feeling burnt out probably!

You tempted to captain Rashford this GW?

I agree, for me he's the best (C) this GW.

He went out injured but it didn't look serious

Great option for this week to have in your team but I would find it difficult to take that risk with captaincy on him. He is on pens and great attacking threat but I feel there is always a booking or red card in him which puts me off.

If your plan is son to ziyech will you not do it before the city spurs game?

Thanks for letting us know Harry

Great insight Harry

Sensible mate

Name this very good bench please.

At least he got to see his son play in the premier league before he passed I bet that made him proud, RIP.

Thats really tragic 🙁

Poor guy. He's very young to be losing his dad.

Probably KdB + Cancelo

Already have Cancelo and will bring in KDB or Sterling

Already have KDB, will bring in Dias. Everyone going cancelo, Dias scored 2 goals last night. He is nailed and also not bad goal/assist record from benfica or wherever it was

Either KDB + sterling
Or,
Cancelo + Dias + KDB

Just KGB

I actually think KDB and defense double-up of Dias and Cancelo could be the way to go in order to take maximum advantage of the fixture run.

That way you have a great captaincy option and the added security of a nice haul even when they scrape a narrow win to zero or a 0-0 draw.

Held Foden since GW3 and have been rewarded with an assist and a goal from the bench so far.

Can't bring myself to bin him now even though I'm expecting 1 start from the next 3 matches.

Will add KDB/Sterling and Dias/Cancelo.

Going to add KDB and Cancelo to Sterling.

Have you seen him play ?? is he any good ??

already in my team, he's class

Thats a great move, especially after he tested positive for covid19... twice.

I think that team doesn’t need a wildcard, I’d hold it till later on, got a feeling the festive period will bring a lot of injuries

Just realised I’ve got 11 of the same players as you aha

Find out about Salah tomorrow mate. Pretty guaranteed to miss 1 but may be only 1

Nope, we have had no new news.

Salah, you can guess won't be out too long provided he remains symptom free.
TAA - wait for pressers

Salah has already tested positive - twice

And, yes, it's nigh on certain that he'll miss the Leic game

You already pulled the free hit trigger? It looks decent but honestly can't see much benefit in this FH team over the majority of teams this weekend. FH so much better during a blank / double gw to maximise points potential

On wildcard I’d consider a united defender. Telles or maybe AWB. I think this is the game to trigger their home form this season

Enough left to do mane to salah?

Really like this WC team. Though did you have Salah before? Id keep him over Mane even with missing a week to be honest. Soucek a very good option this week and also Lamptey, easy cover. Like keeping Kane

Other than that good to go

I still think Bamford is the best cheap stickers.
Lots of talk about tough fixtures, but he has already scored against Palace, Liverpool & Villa X3

Think I would go Vardy over Kane for the next few, like it other than that.

Wait till the press conferences

Chillwell yes, Don't know about Rash

I need either Wilson or Chilwell to play or I'm playing 10.

That's good to hear - thanks.

I brought in neco for trent so I could get KDB next gw without removing Kane, if he doesn’t play I’ve already got Justin on the bench

Plenty of different priced options for ppl with Trent to be looking at

I see Torres pushing for inclusion after his IB performance?

You’ve held auba this whole time jeez

Fancy DCL against Fulham

I’d say DCL and possibly auba

I think Robbo should be fine for the weekend, same with chillwell, salah is only one week and I think Bruno will outscore rashford so good move imo

I’d still go DCL at the same price

Always inside the 6 yard box might aswell set up a tent

Jeez rough that I’d say get KDB or salah and leave it on them

Atleast you have that sweet bench to rely on going forward
