I'd expect Arsenal to score at least 2 goals. Ode and White are fine to BB with imo.

Defensively maybe a drop better, but it’s not enough to stem the flow.

I'm not seeing much of a difference tbh, think we've just had a bit more luck in picking up some of the results that performances have (sort of) merited for a while. In terms of xGC, apart from the Southampton game (0.38), it doesn't make for particularly impressive reading: 1.46 (che), 1.89 (BHA), and a whopping 2.78 at Wolves

Come on, you're better than this

Kane

Harry

I agree with the Kane benching, but that’s a painful one. Do you have any DGW defenders like Henry that could sit instead?

Agree, particularly since the interaction has actually got worse over the years. Remember when the Scoutcast featured questions asked in hot topics? Now it's questions asked in the Youtube chat. I get that it's to drive engagement towards Scout content from people who might not otherwise use the site, but it's a bit sad nonetheless.

I would also like to see in the closed season several "meet the manager" Scoutcasts with community members from here - the knowledge on here is often on a par if not superior to the "pro pundits"

I think we all know who they are and it'd be good to see them get more recognition for all the support they give others

I guess the nature of the way these comment page work, the real nuggets of information can get lost in some middle page of some irrelevant or uninteresting article. I have always wondered whether the +1 button should be put to better use to highlight really good bits of information from the community.

I’m really stingy with hits, so I personally wouldn’t. For free, either seem fine.

Maybe A for the long term if you are using FH in 32.

I have nacho also and thinking the same move but wait and see nearer the weekend. Not sure Daka and vardy did a whole lot last game and he may come back in.

Wondering this too, I was going to have to sell Tark and Ward to bench boost anyway and now have Rashford and Botman flagged also.

i hear you. Cash another. Wait til Friday pressers it seems

I agree I’ve Darwin, James , havertz and pope also flagged and a dropped Nacho so I may have no choice but to delay bench boost

i like Shaw this week, and long term. D looks best if can't afford Ode to Bruno

Personally, I’d be more inclined to move Henry than Zinc. His double is a terrible double. Your dilemma is a funny. At this point, I’d probably stick with the one I mentioned above. If you had 2FT, F isn’t crazy, but it’s hard to take a -8

I have the exact same team except Pope and Mac Allister instead of Kepa and March. My plan is:

Odegaard+Zinchenko+Henry > Fernandes+Shaw+Dunk/Estupinan -4

If he is a doubt. I will go maddison

I'll probably go Mitoma.

I'm going Bruno probably even if Rashford is cleared

They’re probably having to do all this will he won’t be play stuff as courtesy for holding him back from England but if it is true then it’ll be between Bruno and March/Mitoma

Your team is very well structured for a BB this week. Either B or C are totally legit strategies. Plus consider this:

1) Steele may not keep his place until 34, if not, you will need to make a GK change
2) the number of doubles is much more limited in 34.
3) the SGW players you are starting are all high quality. You would be happy to have an arsenal player v Leeds coming off the bench
4) after your BB, you can downgrade one more asset to bench fodder, which gives you tons of flexibility that you don’t have when you are trying to keep a full bench in advance of a DGW.
5) nobody really knows Haaland’s status. It’s good to have a plan to get him back, but there isn’t a guarantee on his fitness.

Nothing new yet, guess wait for Peps press conf.

No updates currently

Norwegian, aged 22, scored lots of goals this season

Looks lavly.

Rico is benchable through the tougher fixtures, probably not the same for Zinchenko so a move to someone like Shaw, who has a middling double but good fixtures beyond makes sense.

Ya. Congrats man!

Ha ha - see my post above

😀

Nice

Its one I am agonising over. If you can FH32 then you've got to think Bruno will outscore Martinelli over the next 4-6 weeks.

But at the same time, selling the guy who has scored 6 in 6, doesn't have a multitude of mid-week games and is playing for the title seems wrong.

For free and still being able to afford Haaland I think I would.

I did Ode to Bruno last night (thinking Ode was about to fall in price). Like you, I will do Toney to Haaland if/when he is passed fit.

Not to be flippant, but this honestly feels like a coin flip to me.

S

I don't like either - both playing for a manager who has proven they can flip flop between keepers at a moments notice. Its a future transfer headache you don't need

Solanke, B.Johnson, Benrahma, Billing, Bowen, Ings, Gibbs-White or Martial

Aw I thought you were going to make us guess...

Mine are Iheanacho & Reece James, but both are definitely swaying in the direction of catastrophic fail currently

Salah captain - Liverpool seem to turn up in the bigger games.

Solanke or Johnson decent punts but not sure their ceiling is all that high.

C for me

how about bowen?

C

A - largely because 30 and 31 not looking too hot for Brighton. I'd probably look at a second Brighton mid around 33 when Arsenal's fixtures turn and Brighton's improve for the double

In the same boat mate here too, have Kepa and Sanchez and can’t make my mind up who to sell Sanchez for, don’t have FH left so Alisson is and option for me too

Previous article had some good suggestions for Keeper Combo. A and B are at risk if their manager's whims change again. C probably but becomes an expensive pairing to maintain, or books a future transfer.

You probably only need to bench Kepa in 34 and 37/38 so i'd say B is a slightly better option than A

DDG in isolation, but you might need the cash further down the line. It also blocks you from af trio of Shaw, Bruno, Rashford.

doing the same probably

I did that exact transfer last night.

I’m tempted but I need to plan out my weeK 32 first

Yeah I probably would with Ode

i would not lose Saka

I don't rate those moves. Agree with the sentiment about Arsenal, but Saka is above that. The guy at the end of the article had some excellent things to say on that front.

I can see why Toney to Isak, but that could wait. You've got a decent BB and feels like you're looking for improvements that may not be there

B
Brighton double up is nice but 30 and 31 not too appealing for them. Too early for C.

Im in same position

It’s a flip of coin for this week really leaning Bruno for their fixture of Everton week 30 vs spurs for Brighton

(Minus having salah already)

A

A for sure

A

I'm not personally sold on Salah, but given you have him I would presume you are so stick with it.

I'd say just look to sort out Ward and roll

Get rid of ward and you're good to go

for Isak yes

I would agree for Isak

WC depends on your team, but sense is either this week or to take advantage of doubles in 34. FH probably most suits 32 as a lot of the blankers double in 34 so you can bring in and hold without worrying.

How many FTs? Suppose its mostly guesswork with Rashford but most expect he'll be fine. That's still a really strong bench. Think I would replace Cash & Ward and go for the BB
