Joe and Seb are joined by Conor, aka FPLPrince from the FPL Fan Show, to look at the key issues facing Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers ahead of Gameweek 33.

It has been a big week for Tottenham Hotspur, including the sacking of boss Jose Mourinho and the appointment of Ryan Mason as interim first-team coach.

Meanwhile, their top scorer Harry Kane (£11.8m) is injured, ahead of the north London side’s League Cup final with Manchester City. This Wembley encounter also means both finalists blank in FPL this weekend, along with their scheduled league opponents Southampton and Fulham.

For FPL managers, this presents a raft of challenges ahead of Gameweek 33. Do they keep hold of Kane, even though his return date from injury is unknown? Is Son Heung-min (£9.5m) surplus to requirements or will he flourish under Mason’s temporary charge? And could Gareth Bale (£9.2m) and even Dele Alli (£7.4m) become FPL assets once again?

Joe, Seb and Conor try to make sense of how Spurs fit in with their plans, especially given the club’s favourable fixtures from Gameweek 34.

To compound matters, there are further Blank Gameweeks and Doubles on the horizon. The Scoutcast trio explain their tentative plans for combating these further complications.

Meanwhile, attacking defenders are on the agenda. Their potential to offer returns at both ends of the pitch could provide the boost FPL managers need to steal a march on their mini-league rivals.

In addition, the Scoutcast crew look back on their Gameweek 32 highs and lows and also reveal their upcoming transfer and captaincy plans. The next four fixtures are frisked and Conor takes his turn to pick a differential.

    Who scores more this week:

    A) 49 points with Dais and Targett to play
    B) 32 points with Lloris, Watkins, Nacho and Son (TC) to go.

    1. Moderately content penguin

      B

    Realistic best case scenario - how big of a point gap in a mini league can be made up from now till the end of the season?

      Depends on chips left, if none then about 40-50

    I’ve decided on buying Meslier however who for? I have the money in the bank to do both. Do either still have the number 1 shirt?

    A)Forster
    B)Mendy

    1. Pukki Blinders

      B obviously

    2. Moderately content penguin
      • 6 Years

      A

      He's a two pointer at best really and Mendy being benched for the odd game isn''t unprecedented - think it highly unlikely he has lost his spot

    Pending injury news on Kane this week, does this move seem reasonable:

    Son & Cresswell >> Maddison & Trent

    Own Salah & Jota (which might be overkill). Have Shaw, Coady and Laporte in defence.

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years

      Don’t like the idea of removing Son at all

      1. Fit_to_drop

        4 years, 7 months ago

        OK - thanks for that. Ill wait and see.

    Still looking for a Neto replacement... 5.6 to spend. Who would you pick?

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rapinha (hopefully returns from knock) and Saka second choice.

    2. Moderately content penguin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No chance of squeezing 0.1 for Trossard?

      Guess if not I guess that leaves you between

      Raph
      Harrison (still ahead of Raph on points and returns)
      Pereira

      Pereira is the fun pick but Raph the safe one.

        Oh forgot Saka as an option - just read above. But distrust Arsenal while still in EL.

    Hi All,

    With 2 x Spurs and City I have to get rid of two this week. Keep Son and ditch Kane? Others I have are Gundy and Stones. Happy to bin Stones, but Gundy could be decent with KDB out. Who to get in, then...?!

    Everyone holding kane or anyone making a play for someone else?
