Our Members Videos continue with another installment ahead of the Gameweek 8 deadline.

This week, it’s another Scoutcast special as Andy and Hall of Fame #19 Seb combine for a stream exclusive to Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout. 

As you may already know, the pair are both Wildcarding for the upcoming deadline.

They will be using the various tools available to subscribers in the Members Area to make sure they have the optimal 15 players for their brand new teams.

The video is available to watch via the embedded link below, live from 8:15pm BST.

      A

  2. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years

    Best 4th midfielder to own in a 3-4-3 formation that's 6.6m max?

    B) Neto
    C) Ward-Prowse

    1. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Tempted by Neto next two then Mitoma

    2. dodgystats
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ward-Prowse - Nice fixures after Newcastle

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Villa away is a "nice fixture" ?

  4. Bullet Eder
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Isn’t Son going to be back on the wing with Solomon and Johnson injured? Richarlison up front?

    1. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Richy started on wing vs Liverpool

    2. wilkinson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      rich on the wing Son up top I reckon

    I am so tempted to do a -8 right now.

    Onana to Areola
    Estu to Udogie
    Wissa to Watkins

    Yay or nay?

    1. outernational
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Like it!

    2. Rico123
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Good moves - -8 obviously not ideal but could be a fun gamble and probably a lot of hits going on this week given injuries so yeh, why not

      1. toerag
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        this

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        They are long term moves that will save my WC.

    3. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Leave the GK change, and just do the other two.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Can’t get Watkins without downgrading Onana.

        If I could I would,but I’d have to go Estu to £4.3m def. Not ideal.

        1. AIRMILES
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Oh I see. I'd leave that move for now then.

    4. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would do it

    5. Threat Level Midnight
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Those are all good moves

    6. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      do it

  7. Rico123
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed so reposting in case anyone cares (I know no one really cares)

    Wildcard activated. No Haaland, hide behind the sofa time but it’s only a game eh

    Areola - Turner
    Trippier Porro Cash - Saliba Taylor
    Salah Son Maddison Saka Bowen
    Watkins Alvarez - Archer

    1. outernational
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      High risk, high reward. Could definitely work out as long as Haaland doesn't go ballistic.

    2. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Diaz for Saka for next few
      Try and upgrade Archer.. I would drop Saliba for cheaper defender

      1. AIRMILES
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Agree with the Saliba bit.

        1. Rico123
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks both. Saliba is maybe a bit of me being stubborn as had him pre WC and just really like him as a player. I’m undecided on upgrading Archer as don’t love having him in but no one in the £4.5-£6m range appeals so would have to make quite an upgrade and move funds elsewhere to do anything different

          1. AIRMILES
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Agree on the Archer point. I think there's no harm in having one virtually non-playing outfield sub, as long as you've got two decent options. Savings best found up front rather than defence, on that score, so I think it's a reasonable option. Currently I have Awoniyi as my attacking sub, and I feel it's 2.0m wasted.

    3. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Great team tbh, could be rewarded for the bravery

    4. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I care. I've also just sold Haaland in order to bring in Salah. I couldn't have them both (and Son, Maddison, Saka, Watkins, Alvarez and Trippier), and I think head-to-head over the next 5 GWs, Salah will outperform Haaland, so a worthwhile risk, I feel. But yes, behind see you behind the sofa.

      Good team. ITB? Who does Taylor play for?

      1. AIRMILES
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I'd also suggest having Diaby over Bowen for qat least the next two, then you can downgrade Mads or upgrade Diaby to Bowen.

        1. AIRMILES
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          (excuse the typos / sloppiness)

      2. Rico123
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks - I think there will be a few more non-Haalanders but it definitely could go very wrong!

        £0.5m ITB

        Taylor is £3.9m Burnley defender

        1. AIRMILES
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Okay, I'd say downgrade Saliba and try and have two half decent bench defenders, just to cover for injuries.

    5. djman102
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Did the same and nearly my exact team. Would be the same starting 11 if I wasn't stubborn with Bruno for another week or two.

  8. outernational
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hi Deadzoners,

    Which move to make with 2FT and 0.8 ITB?

    A: Botman to Porro
    B: Dias to Porro (and hold Botman)
    C: Dias and Saka to Porro and Son

    Areola
    Trippier | Andersen | Dias
    Mbuemo | Salah (C) | Saka* | Diaby* | JWP
    Haaland | Alvarez

    Flekken | Archer | Kabore | Botman*

    1. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      C

    2. Rico123
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I personally think Saka is a hold but Son could go big next couple of weeks so C probably makes sense

  9. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Estupinan to Cash or Robertson?

    1. outernational
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cash and keep the extra funds in the bank for upgrades elsewhere

    2. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Probably Cash if you use the money wisely elsewhere

  10. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Should Rash/Estupinan>Son/Udogie (-4) be sufficient? Probably captain Son

    Johnstone
    Trippier, Kabore, Cash
    Bowen, Maddison, Rashford, Mitoma
    Haaland, Alvarez, Watkins
    Turner, Eze (INJ), Estupinan (INJ), Botman (INJ)

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Rash could easily backfire. Good moves though

      1. JoeSoap
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Usually do well when you sell

    2. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah the -4 for the 2 Spurs lads is a good move

      1. JoeSoap
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks

  11. Slitherene
    • 8 Years

    Am I staring at a Red Arrow this GW?

    Areola | Pickford
    Cash Boly Guehi
    Salah Son Bruno Diaby
    Haaland Alvarez Solanke
    ¦ Botman* Baldock* Nakamba

  12. Under my Cucurella
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    WC active - on this draft atm. Any suggestions for changes? I'm not sure about the triple Villa but can't see a better option than Diaby £7m and under

    Areola Turner
    Porro Cash Burn Lamptey Kabore
    Salah Son Bowen Diaby Anderson
    Haaland Alvarez Watkins

    0.3ITB

    1. outernational
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like it. This would be close to my team if I was wildcarding now.

    2. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Maddison for Bowen.. better fixtures next few.

      1. Rico123
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Might not be able to afford that but if WCing could do Ward Prowse instead of Bowen and upgrade Diaby to Maddison - I think extra spurs attacker trumps extra Villa?

        1. Under my Cucurella
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I have exact money for this so is another option to think about. Thanks

      2. Under my Cucurella
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Already unhappy with triple Villa, wouldn't want triple Spurs as well. Too many eggs in the same basket. I had considered Saka and Maddi over Son and Diaby, but Son is too popular right now so I feel I can't go without

      A forward for a midfielder? What game you playing?

    2. Akeem
      • 10 Years

      ? One is a mid the other is a forward

    3. nico05

    B)Morris (TOT)

    1. BrockLanders

      A surely

  21. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Bowen or Diaz on wc.
    Ta

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Diaz is a nice differential but only if no Mo/Darwin

      1. ball c
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I have Mo.
        Like most people on wc.. they’ll have Mo (I’ve had from start) so need that bit extra from Liverpool good fixtures to take advantage.

  22. toerag

    getting close now i think

    Turner Areola

    C. Both transfers for a hit

  24. GoonerSteve
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Already took my first -4 of the season, to get to this:

    Leno
    Cash, Udogie, Burn
    Salah, Saka*, Son, Maddison, Diaby*
    Haaland, Alvarez
    (Areola, Semenyo, Botman*, Gusto**)

    Pretty sure Saka will start against City. Hopefully, Diaby too.

    Good to go? Thinking either Salah or Son captain.

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      looks good, few doubts but should be okay. C-Son

  25. BrockLanders

      1. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Horrible choice, I know. It's Pedro, Morris or Saliba. I'd start JP if he was guaranteed to start. Morris for a fluky pen vs Spurs could be the way forward..

        1. toerag

          yeah

  26. AD105

    Diaby the best mid for 6.8 or less on a WC?

    Conscious he might not start this weekend

      I like Gordon. This GW omitted obviously

    2. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

    A. Play Kabore (TOT), and hope Botman back after international break

    B. Estupinan > Porro -4 (double up with Udogie)

    C. Estupinan > Burn/Schar -4

    @Seb

    My apologies for taking a stab at those such as you willing to risk it without Haaland. Unless you have done a draft without Haaland and ridiculing then you are being a troll.

    I took the pill and it will either work out or go bust. You won't know unless you try.

    Current WC draft:

    Turner Areola
    Trippier Udogie Cash (Lamptey Taylor)
    Salah Son L.Diaz Almiron Diaby
    J.Alvarez Haaland (Archer)

    0.3m ITB. Diaz could be Bowen but I think I fancy Diaz over the next couple of fixtures. Would prefer to have a better 4th defender but money is pretty tight.

    Thoughts?
