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:



  1. SpaceCadet

    3 years, 7 months ago

    Can't seem to figure out how to use the 2 fts. Best option here?

    a. kulu bailey > rodrigo gross
    b. mendy kulu bailey > sanchez gundo gross -4
    c. something else

    mendy
    taa robbo cancelo dunk
    salah kulu martinelli andreas
    haaland jesus

    ward bailey neco greenwood

    1. mrelpea
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Just do mendy to Sanchez this gameweek and save 2 FT’s for next GW

    2. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I like A

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Could also just do kulu > gundo and have 2 fts for next gw.

  2. Yordan Letchkov

    3 years, 7 months ago

    Team GTG and bench in order? Invested in bench (Aaronsen) to better navigate upcoming Europe fixtures...

    Ward
    TAA, Robbo, Cancelo
    Salah, Martinelli, Gross, Aaronsen
    Haaland, Jesus, Toney

    Iversen, Andreas, Trippier, Neco

    1. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      GTG

  3. FPL Alaska
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    2 FT, 0.2 ITB. What to use a FT on here?

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Robbo - Cancelo - Walker - James
    Salah - Martinelli - Rodrigo
    Haaland - Jesus
    (Ward; Pereira, Dasilva, Archer)

    A) Ramsdale > Sanchez
    B) Archer > Stansfield
    C) other suggestions?

    1. SerieD
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I have exact same team and planning to do B.

    2. dshv
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      What is stansfield

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Bench fodder

  4. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    What to do with Kulusevski:

    A) Sell for Diaz on FT
    B) Sell for Gundogan on FT
    C) keep Kulu

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      C

    3. Bavarian
      • 8 Years

      C

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I have Kulu but want both. Think Diaz may be better value though.

  5. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Got sterling IN and I'm excited about the game again. He is at such a tricky price point that it'll be impossible for people to get him in without a major overhaul/sacrificing a premium and hence why he could be a differential for quite a few gws.
    Imo he is a 3rd captaincy choice in the team.. which is something the 8.0 mids don't really offer.

    Anyone else here punting on sterling?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah - got to be better than mount !

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Haha. Exit strategy equals every mid in the game except for kdb, son and Salah.. so he has that going for him atleast 🙂

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He was my punt for the first two gws and helped escort me to a 7.8m rank. Never again. I wish you well in the battles to come.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers mate. I'm quietly confident. First 2 games he was a bit unlucky not to get more points. Thanks to that i got him at a nice 0.1 discount though 🙂

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I have not seen his stats but I've watched all 4 games. From memory first game he looked great and almost had a goal except for an amazing tackle by mykelenko. 2nd game had a goal disallowed for VAR and got an assist. 3rd game did his traditional cut from the left and nearly scored. 4th game he went bananas and should have had a 3rd goal and an assist too. Looked fantastic regards his positioning too and looks miles ahead of the other Chelsea attackers (I've now realised how bad Werner's positioning was after seeing sterling play). I'm hoping he hits his heights of 30+ goal involvements (goals+ assists) from 2 to 3 years ago but for his price id settle for 20+ goal involvements too. Perfect price point for a faux premium for a good run of fixtures and as a 3rd captain choice alongside 2 of Salah/kdb/Haaland/Kane imo

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Chelsea have a terrific run of fixtures, but I'd rather focus on the defence. The attack just isn't clicking, with Gallagher, Mount and Havertz disappointing. I should improve, in which case you'll be ahead of the curve, but it's a too-expensive risk for me.

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          If i had to compromise anywhere else i would not opt for him. Thing is i got him in for free alongside and not instead of
          Sanchez, TAA, James, Saliba, Salah, Haaland, Martinelli, Gross, Jesus, Toney..
          so i did not compromise my premiums/defense/mid or forward line for him.
          Hence making him a risk free punt for me.

        2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Might be a bit better in the coming games with Kovacic on the mend and Fofana on the way which should free James to bolster the attack

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Could have had 4 on Saturday given he was holding the ball for the penalty that got overturned. You’re right about his price being awkward but if he looks on it again tonight (and this is his sort of fixture) I will consider bringing him in for Salah, which would allow for Toney to Kane

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I think that was a mistake boosting peno tbh. Jorginho is miles better at them. Sterling went through 300 mins without a goal for chelsea.. so maybe he was given the peno to get his goal touch going. If he is on the next peno it'd be a huge bonus and would probably add 1 million to his valuation(though he is horrid at them)

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          That was a confidence boosting peno*

    5. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Can't do it this week without dropping Cancelo (which I won't do before Forest) but the current plan for next week is to drop Cancelo to a 3.9def and move Martinelli to Sterling (I upgraded Dasilva to Bernardo yesterday so 3.9def will just be fodder like Dasilva was until I WC around GW9). Would love to have him for tonight, could do very well

    6. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yup capped him last 2 gws

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Now that is ahead of the curve . Brilliant

  6. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Play saliba cancelo or Rodrigo?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Rodrigo

    2. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Got to see your team.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Sanchez
        Cancelo robbo James
        Diaz Rodrigo sterling martinelli
        Haaland Toney Jesus

        Saliba

        1. David Parkinson
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I see, 2 of the 3. Yep, bench Saliba for this one. Good cover for a no-show.

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Has to be Cancelo for NFO. That being said i would not expect more than 6 points unless pep tweaks this inverted wb system he has going now. About as effective attacking wise (maybe less) than rodri currently due to where he plays

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I have a similar conundrum (Aaronson or Saliba) and decided on Aaronson so I'd go Rodrigo, Everton in bottom 2 for xGC, Villa are in poor form but Arsenal have looked shaky at the back so wouldn't be surprised if they concede

  7. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Captain

    A) KdB
    B) Haaland

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      B

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      B

  8. MikeLowrey
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Worth holding Neto for one more week? It'll give me 2FT for next week to reasses

    Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Cucurella
    Salah Rodrigo Martinelli Neto
    Haaland Kane

    1. alsybach
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Depends what your option is! Neto has been pretty crap!

      1. MikeLowrey
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        It would probably be Gross.
        But I like the idea of double moving after this GW; Robbo & Neto to a cheap DEF & 8m mid

    2. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He plays Bournemouth. I'd hold

  9. alsybach
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    With a lightweight midfield and an expensive back line
    Is

    Robbo + Neto—-> gundo + dunk a good move?

    What do you think peeps YAY or NAY?

    1. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not this gameweek.

    2. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Keep Robbo. Just sell Neto

    3. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Nay

  10. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    1ft and 0.2itb. Bank?

    Sanchez
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Cucurella
    Salah Martinelli Trossard Rodrigo
    Haaland Jesus

    Ward; Pereira, Neco, Archer

  11. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Will Bamford's return from injury impact Rodrigo in any way?

    1. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I think Rodrigo will then drop to the #10 role. Don't believe Bamford starts in few weeks still due to form Rodrigo has been in and Bamford's injury history

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. Trying to decide between Rodrigo and Gundo.

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Is he ever going to return

    3. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      It might. They played together in GW1 before B's injury - with R scoring. But Sinisterra's lurking now. I doubt R will be dropped while his form continues, but it must dip at some point.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        He has the fixtures. Prefer him over Gundo?

    4. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      What about Gelhardt of Riviera? Will he play?

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, but will average 4 mins a game.

    5. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I've seen a few Leeds fans saying when the whole team is fully fit, Bamford and Sinisterra will come in and Rodrigo and James will drop out, the former because he doesn't do the pressing that Marsch requires (while Bamford does)

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. Might take a few gws for that to happen though.

      2. dansully3
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Rodrigo won't be dropped.

  12. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    For the next gameweek, should I start:

    a) Perisic
    b) Toney
    or... someone else from this lineup (without a or b):

    Pope
    TAA, James, Cancelo
    Martinelli, KDB, Foden, Rodrigo
    Mitrovic, Jesus

    1. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Toney

    2. Saint Tim
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Toney

    1 more blank from Jesus and a mass exodus!

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      His ownership is the only reason he's still in my team

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Looking to upgrade to Kane - can’t be having inconsistency

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Book of Exodus is way before Jesus's times.

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        We're gonna go Old Testament on him if he blanks

        1. el polako
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          No to going to turn the other cheek
          If he's blanking every week.

      2. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. The Knights Template

      Down to 70% ownership!

  14. tokara
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Do we think Gross will start in gw5?

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Why wouldn't he?

      1. tokara
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        i am thinking too short rest for a 31 yr old

        I want to sell Zaha so bad...that fooker cause my downfall

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Thanks. Was going to get him in this gw but now I'm confused.

    2. Saint Tim
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes!

  15. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A. Kane + DaSilva > Mitro + Diaz

    B. Jesus + DaSilva > Mitro + Groß

    C. Keep Haaland/Kane/Jesus combination

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      C

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'd tend to lean to C

    3. tokara
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Obvious C

    4. Saint Tim
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      C

  16. FlamingMoe
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Martinelli or Odegaard or Grob?

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      M or G

      1. FlamingMoe
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I have M, but worried he may get rotated with ESR

  17. Bubbles1985
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Current squad, how's it looking:

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo Robbo
    Salah Mount Martinelli Andreas
    Haaland(c) Jesus(vc) Toney

    Ward DaSilva Tripp N.Williams

    Robbo or Cancelo to James this GW for -4?
    Or wait until next week?

    GL all!

    Cheers

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Don't lose Cancelo before Forest. I'd wait to do that move even if it's Robbo

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks

        Regretted doubling up on pool in def since GW1

        I think Robbo and Salah will be dumped next GW

    2. ArseneAllTheWay
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’d get Mount out asap

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Oops!
        That's a typo, have just done Mount to Gross for free!!

  18. EL_FENOMENO

    What are you guys doing with with Zinchenko?

    1. FlamingMoe
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Saliba would keep Arsenal D and save some cash. Cucurella has Greta fixtures and more likely LWB with Kouli back

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      😆 this sounds wrong

  19. Stinging Archon
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Worth doing Robertson to James this week?

    1. FlamingMoe
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I have. Better fixture and Robo a risk of rotation with fixture congestion

    2. Bubbles1985
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      For free or a hit?

      For free i would

      Why Williams over Emerson?

  21. JT11fc

    Any reason why Rueben Dias was subbed in gws 2 and 3?

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He was rested and subbed on in GW3, because Ake was injured. Not sure about GW2.

      Good to see I'm not the only one with Kane over Haaland. Getting a bit nervous today though. Forest are toilet at the back

        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Oh sorry actually i .issed that i have haland instead of kane

    Would you rather have Toney up front or Rodrigo in midfield? If you couldn't afford both.

    1. Saint Tim
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Toney

    2. akhilrajau
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Then need 2 transfer which one to avoid nw . Option is to move any premium one

  26. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I have got 2FT and considering dead-ending my moves then WC in Gw6, reckon this could be worth it?

    Ward & Cancelo —> Ederson & Stones

    I hate not using free transfers! So thinking of just doing N Williams to Emerson. Anything else I should do instead? TIA

      That will just make your team worse.. Neco is nailed and very attacking

      1. Saint Tim

        Surely WHU better than NFO? And Emerson will play left wing back ahead of Cresswell. That’s an exciting left sided combo no?

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Doubt he'll be taking Cresswell's place. May only play when they use WBs

        Any other suggestions then?
