Scoutcast Episode 363 – Everton on the radar as Kane joins the injury list

Joe and Seb are joined by Ted to look at the key issues facing Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of Gameweek 21.

This latest Scoutcast episode proved a rollercoaster for Joe, Seb and their guest Ted, from TedTalks FPL, taking place during Thursday night’s eventful clash between Tottenham and Liverpool.

With Son Heung-min (£9.8m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) goals ruled out, a haul for Sadio Mane (£11.8m) and an injury, possibly for weeks, to Harry Kane (£11.3m), there was plenty for our trio to mull over.

As the only Mane owner of the three, Joe struggled to contain his excitement in particular.

But where now for the Gameweek 21 captaincy, especially as Kane had been penciled in by many FPL managers to receive the armband ahead of Spurs encounter with Brighton?

Everton’s returning assets could be the answer. Dominic Calvert Lewin (£7.6m), Lucas Digne (£6.0) and James Rodriguez (£7.7m) are among Toffees stars to return from injury ahead of a kind run of games.

Ted’s already tripled up on Carlo Ancelotti’s troops and Joe and Seb are keen to invest too.

A key factor in Ted’s bold move has been his analysis from his statistical graphs over recent matches. Armed with a quintet of graphical delights he takes the Scoutcast team through his latest thoughts on chance creation to clean sheet probability.

His charts also help him to pick a differential, following some recent successes for the show, thanks to West Ham and Manchester City’s low owned gems.

Seb has some intriguing thoughts on attacking defenders, especially with new management and tactics at Chelsea.

Meanwhile, the crew reveal their transfers and fresh captaincy thoughts ahead Gameweek 21 as well as consider the latest high-fliers on the fixture ticker.

    So I've got Kane and I look at the available options and think 'meh'. It's strange at the moment because there are so many players who are quite good, and none that are smashing it. This is even more the case with premiums. I feel like I could build a decent team without having anyone above 8m. The upshot of this is I needlessly juggle between similar players, getting them in after they haul and dumping them when they are due. Zaha becomes Foden, swap to Jamez who makes way for Grealish, who stays for a while, but now I'm eyeing up Gundogan who has probably scored all his goals for the season.
    Can't remember a season like it.

    Lots of people comparing Kane injury to Son's fake injury. That was a pretty different situation, Son looked fine throughout the first half and it was an easy game with him taken off to preserve him in a tough schedule - I recall a fair few posters predicting that he would start.

    Whereas with Kane this was a massive game that he absolutely would have played in if fit, plus this ankle injury is recurring for him. Too big of a risk for me with the condensed schedule, will almost definitely remove him unless we get new news before the deadline.
