Seb and Andy are Lepper-less as they co-host the Scoutcast without Joe ahead of Tuesday’s Gameweek 5 deadline.

It’s a swift turnaround between Gameweeks as we prepare ourselves for the first midweek round of Premier League matches of the season.

And fixture congestion is a big focus of tonight’s stream as the pair discuss not just the recovery periods between Gameweek 4-6 matches but also the packed schedule for the teams involved in European club competition all the way up to the World Cup.

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) is another hot topic as Seb and Andy discuss the Egyptian’s Gameweek 4 blank.

A questions-and-answers session with the watching Fantasy community, the Gameweek 5 captaincy debate and forthcoming transfer plans are also on the agenda. Live Hall of Fame number 33 Seb, ranked inside the top 40k in 2022/23 already, even has the luxury of burning a transfer…

The Scoutcast can be viewed via the embedded video below but is also available as a podcast:

    Not liking the look of Trippier for this week and beyond....thinking of two possibles, have 5.3 to spend....Trippier to:
    A) Walker
    B) Cucurella

    Already have Trent, Cancelo, Perisic, Williams. Cheers.

        Not concerned just Liverpool next and don't need to do any other changes. Also think id rather have a winger or a defender from a more defensively solid team.

      Don't burn FT ... replace Archer or replace Bailey with 4.5 playing midfield to save few cents. Keeping Bailey is an option but losing value is painful.
