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.

    Think I’m locking in this WC, look solid enough?

    Played around for so long and without losing Salah I just can’t get a team I like. Team value is Awful!

    No Watkins, Tripps, Porro or Arsenal all major concerns.

    Areola Turner
    
Udog Guehi Cash Burn Taylor
    Salah Son Maddison Bowen Diaby 

    Alvarez Haaland Archer

    1. toerag
      3 years, 17 days ago

      i honestly feel better for dropping haaland. it may only last until the city v arse game but my god you have so much more choice

      1. toerag
        3 years, 17 days ago

        and you know you want tripps!!! 😆

    2. GoonerSteve
      3 years, 17 days ago

      I like it. I've got a similar starting 11 with Saka instead of Bowen and Leno in goal.

    3. CABAYE4
      3 years, 17 days ago

      You’ve got my front 8 so naturally I rate it!

      Should be easy enough to move for Arsenal for GW10.

    4. Nickyboy
      3 years, 17 days ago

      I don't mind it at all

  3. AD105
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Would you go Haaland-less on a WC?

    1. toerag
      3 years, 17 days ago

      yep

      1. toerag
        3 years, 17 days ago

        couple of wc teams on last 2 pages

    2. Rico123
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Yes! (See my page 3 post and join the club - I’m very happy with it for now, I may have deleted the game by Sunday night!)

      1. toerag

      Going for it here

  4. Legohair
    3 years, 17 days ago

    What would you do?

    Areola
    Trippier-Cash-Udogie
    Saka-Son-Maddy-Bowen-Mbeumo
    Haaland-Alvarez

    Ederson,Semenyo,Chilwell,Botman

    A. Mbeumo to Diaby
    B. Chilwell to Guehi maybe?(or someone else,who?)

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 17 days ago

      B. Solve your fire first.

  5. Ramires
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Need some help with my team

    Turner
    Udogie - Cash - Burn - Kabore
    Salah - Bowen - Diaby - Son
    Alvarez - Haaland

    Areola - Archer - Botman - Gorden

    Got 1 FT and 2.5M in the bank

    I'm assuming I should hold Gordon for now, but transfer Botman out but not sure who to?

    1. Dunster
      3 years, 17 days ago

      What a team. Keep Botman as every chance he’s fit by GW9 after IB. I would say roll.

    2. Nickyboy
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Would be tempted to bring Trippier in for Botman, even if Botman may be back soon. To have 1 FT and know that you have to start Kabore and your next man in is Archer is not a great place to be.

      1. Ramires
        3 years, 17 days ago

        I don't fancy trippier due to price, feel like he blocks a MID/FOR move in the future. Yeah agreed, weak bench currently.

  6. Nightf0x
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Turner areola
    Cash X burn X gabriel
    Salah X X X X
    Haland alvarez watkins

    Complete WC, Which?

    A) diaby mads richar jwp udogie-andersen/poro-mitchel
    B) diaby mads neto bowen poro andersen
    C) diaby son jwp neto mitchel udogie (-0.1)
    D) diaby son bowen chukumeka udogie-andersen/poro-mitchel
    E) son mads jwp chukumeka mitchel udogie

  7. Le Bluff
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Pick one:
    A) Bowen and Alvarez
    B) Ward-Prowse and Watkins

    1. Under my Cucurella
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Wow that's a tough one. Maybe A and could get Diaby to cover Watkins?

    2. Dunster
      3 years, 17 days ago

      A - agree re Diaby cover point

      1. Le Bluff
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Thanks both. Would have Diaby as well. It's a tough one!

    3. Old Wulfrunian
      3 years, 17 days ago

      b

  8. Woy_is_back
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Is Cash going to get lot of attacking returns or that one game was a one off

    1. Dunster
      3 years, 17 days ago

      That’s one of the questions I’m toying with - he’s clearly a decent pick but it is questionable when a defender scores 2 in one game and bags a hatful of points whether that is any indicator of the future

    2. Pacer.
      3 years, 17 days ago

      You dont need 'a lot' you just need a defender who can grab an assist paired with a clean sheet every few games and you're laughing

      1. Woy_is_back
        3 years, 17 days ago

        For me he seems like a trap and too high ows already

    3. Scalper
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Assisted this weekend and again in europa. Seems to be an attacking threat.

    4. Nickyboy
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Even if those two goals never happened, he's a no brainer for me at the moment

  9. Dunster
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Don’t typically seek advice but am in a genuinely vexed state about this.

    Not played WC - only taken one -4 all season. Team is:

    Areola - Turner
    Estu - Saliba - Botman - Beyer - Kabo
    Salah - Saka - Son - Diaby - Mbeumo
    Haaland - Alvarez - Archer

    0.6 ITB. Really want to hold WC to 19. Got exact money for Estu/Kabore to Cash/Udogie, but that will be for a -4.

    Worth the hit or just to (say) Estu to Cash and play back 3 of Cash - Saliba - Beyer. Hate thought of a -4 for a defender but that -4 makes me look real good assuming injuries clear up over IB.

    1. AIRMILES
      3 years, 17 days ago

      I've just taken my first hit. Also never keen on taking a hit in defence, but I would do it in your position.

    2. toerag
      3 years, 17 days ago

      19??

      1. Dunster
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Yeah I really want to deadend into 18 for the blank then WC out for the double in 20. It’s generally the way I like to play WC.

        1. toerag
          3 years, 17 days ago

          ok. yes. i usually agree with you. just mine team has turned to poo and i thought
          "it is tiiiime..."

          1. Dunster
            3 years, 17 days ago

            I do fear I may be close to needing to do the same - pride and stubbornness may cause me to resist

    3. toerag
      3 years, 17 days ago

      i would get rid of estu tho.

    4. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Do the hit

    5. GoonerSteve
      3 years, 17 days ago

      I'd do the -4 as solid mid-term moves also.

    6. Dunster
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Thanks all - solid encouragement to be bold on the hit!

    7. George Sillett
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Defence is dire and will be a long term problem

      1. Dunster
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Don’t sugarcoat it - go on, tell me straight!!

        1. George Sillett
          3 years, 17 days ago

          It's shite . Any better ?

          1. Dunster
            3 years, 17 days ago

            On a serious note - if I do -4 do you really think:

            Saliba - Cash - Udogie - Botman - Beyer

            Would be rubbish - assuming Botman back by 9/10, and on basis looking long term to 19.

            Interested as i acknowledge I have gone cheap to fund an expensive front 7, and trying to minimise the downside

  10. Under my Cucurella
    3 years, 17 days ago

    On WC

    A: Bowen Diaby
    B: Maddison JWP

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

    1. Dunster
      3 years, 17 days ago

      A - I think very clearly

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 17 days ago

      I’d go A since you already have son.

      1. Under my Cucurella
        3 years, 17 days ago

        True but A equals triple Villa instead of triple Spurs

    3. Phil's Stamps
      3 years, 17 days ago

      B

  11. A Fat Spanish Waiter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Wildcard. A or B:

    A) Son + Alvarez
    B) Madi + Watkins.

    1. Phil's Stamps
      3 years, 17 days ago

      A

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 17 days ago

      A

  12. Calippo
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Wildcard (No Haaland GW 8-10)

    Turner, Areola
    Tripp, Cash, Perro, (Gabriel, Taylor)
    Son, Maddison, Salah, (Chukwue) + ******
    Watkins, Alvarez + ******

    #Pick two please#

    A Rashford (will transfer in after tonights drop)
    B Bruno F

    1.Darwin
    2.Hojlund

    Ps.
    GW10 Buy back Saka for Rash
    GW11 Haaland for Watkins, Bowen for Son, Dalot for Tripp (-4)

  13. Not again Shirley
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Currently on Hojland as captain this GW. Will probably switch to Son before deadline but United home form generally decent (apart from past week) and Brentford pretty awful at the moment. Plus he will most likely play full game. What’s not to like.

    1. toerag
      3 years, 17 days ago

      the rest of his team???

  14. FCSB
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Start:

    1. Burn (whu) [have Trippier]
    2. Archer (ful)

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      3 years, 17 days ago

      2

    2. Nickyboy
      3 years, 17 days ago

      I can see the Archer temptation and not convinced Newcastle will get the CS, but I'd probably still go Burn. All things equal I want the player from the better team

  15. DARE TO BISCAN
    3 years, 17 days ago

    G2G?

    Areola
    Trippier, Andersen, Cash, Udogie
    Saka, Mbuemo, Maddison, Son(c)
    Haaland, Alvarez

    (Flekken, Morris, Walker, Gordon) 0FT, £2.8m

    1. toerag
      3 years, 17 days ago

      nice

    2. Scalper
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Looks good.

    3. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Just got to decide on Mbuemo or Morris I guess

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Think Utd have 3 leftbacks injured. Could be the game for Mbuemo to get his mojo back. Not expecting an away pen at old Trafford, of course 😛

  16. Ohh1454
    3 years, 17 days ago

    If can’t afford Bowen, is Jwp worth a punt ? Is he passing the eye test ?

    1. toerag
      3 years, 17 days ago

      seems to be

    2. FCSB
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Ye

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Either Kudus or Paqueta will play up top with Bowen.

      I think Kudus will be a good pick if he starts.

    4. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Yes, but Bowen is better (JWP owner as couldn't afford Bowen)

    5. MARVELLUS
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Yes been great. Even got a bap in last game without an attacking return

    6. George Sillett
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Why are people seemingly obsessed with Bowen or JWP before GW10 ? Next 2 fixtures are Newcastle H & Villa A. Hardly screams goals

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        3 years, 17 days ago

        West Ham attack does not care about fixtures.

        1. George Sillett
          3 years, 17 days ago

          There are better options until GW10.

      2. Ohh1454
        3 years, 17 days ago

        I do agree for me it’s I’m on WC and only have exact moeny for JWP. Who would u look at for two week punt so ?

      3. Nickyboy
        3 years, 17 days ago

        On wildcard and would be priced out otherwise and definitely want him in my team. Might be other fires to deal with in 2 weeks time, even if I could afford him to easily bring him in then. My wildcard is probably not ideal for this week but should set me up nicely till at least the halfway point of the season.

    7. Phil's Stamps
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Yes, but only as a long-term hold.

  17. Scalper
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Would you take a -4 for anything here? Shocking squad…

    Areola Flekken
    Cash Porto Pinnock Saliba Gusto
    Maddison Saka Salah Mbeumo Foden
    Haaland Alvarez Semenyo

    0.3ITB

    1. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 17 days ago

      It's a good squad just not for this week

      1. Scalper
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Seems like every week lol

  18. FCSB
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Final dilemma on WC:

    1. Trippier (have Burn) Archer [play 442]
    2. Gabriel (for GW10 fixture swing) Solanke [play 343]

    1. GoonerSteve
      3 years, 17 days ago

      1.

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 17 days ago

      I’d do 1.
      Do you need Burn? Lots of other options if you dont want the double up.

      1. FCSB
        3 years, 17 days ago

        I’d like Gabriel but can’t find 0.2

        I have Cash and Udogie already

  19. AD105
    3 years, 17 days ago

    On a WC:

    A) Maddison & Burn
    B) Neto & Trippier

    Areola
    Cash Udogie XXX
    Salah Son Diaby XXX
    Haaland Watkins Alvarez

    Turner Anderson Kabore Taylor

    1. MARVELLUS
      3 years, 17 days ago

      A

    2. Davido989
      3 years, 17 days ago

      a

    3. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 17 days ago

      B because you have Son

    4. Phil's Stamps
      3 years, 17 days ago

      A

  20. GoonerSteve
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Captain Son or Salah?

    1. MARVELLUS
      3 years, 17 days ago

      On Son, mainly because Bri can be good, but it's close.

    2. Dunster
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Salah on basis Brighton seem leaky at present

  21. Davido989
    3 years, 17 days ago

    A) Burn & Watkins
    B) Pedro Porro & Darwin

    1. AD105
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Probably A, B exciting though

  22. Winnerr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Sterling to Bowen -4

    or

    Hope he starts

  23. AF90
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Already made a transfer. Am I GTG? (Saka & Diaby both risks, starting Gabriel not ideal with no bench!!)

    A) do nothing
    B) Saka -> Maddison -4
    C) Botman -> Burn/Andersen -4

    Turner
    Udogie Cash Gabriel
    Salah Son Saka Diaby Mbeumo
    Haaland Alvarez

    Pickford Kabore Botman Mubama

    1. Dunster
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Solid (A) for me - nice team.

  24. Athletic Nasherbo
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Haven’t kept up with pressers. G2g?

    Turner
    Trippier Porro Zouma
    Son Saka* Odegaard Maddison(C) MGW
    Haaland Morris

    Flekken Archer Dias Estupinan*

  25. BremerHB
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Best Estupinian replacement for up to 4.5 to sit 1st on my bench for the foreseeable future?

    1. Dunster
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Burn

    2. Dunster
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Or Villa CD - Is Konse 4.5?

  26. NZREDS
    3 years, 17 days ago

    WC active after a horrendous start - low TV.

    Salah v Salahless final drafts (no more tinkering as it is doing me head in (as usual)

    A: 352
    Areola (Turner)
    Trippier Udogie Cash (White, Kabore)
    Diaby Saka Maddison Bowen Son
    Haaland Watkins

    B: 343
    Areola (Turner)
    Burn Udogie Cash (Lamptey, Kabore)
    Diaby Salah Bowen Son (Anderson)
    Haaland Watkins Alvarez

    Any thoughts would be appreciated to relieve me of a headache!

    1. MARVELLUS
      3 years, 17 days ago

      B. Virtually my team

      1. NZREDS
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Cheers bro!

      2. NZREDS
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Reckon lamptey will get much game time or better to go for a guaranteed average 4.0 nailed like Beyer etc

  27. focaccia
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Captain Maddison, Salah, or Haaland?

  28. Gudjohnsen
    3 years, 17 days ago

    GTG?

    Leno
    Trippier, Udogie, Cash
    Diaz, Bowen, Maddison, Son (C), Bruno
    Haaland (VC), Alvarez

    Subs: Turner, Archer, Botman, Estupinian

  29. Sir Michael Taker
    3 years, 17 days ago

    This non-Haaland thing, I guarentee people wouldn't have even contemplated it before Watkins hat-trick because there still aren't many decent strikers in the game and before that Watkins had been shipped out in masses. Who else is there bar Alvarez? You can't seriously tell me you feel okay with Darwin up top? Klopp's not even comfortable with Darwin up top, it'll probably end in tears.

    1. toerag
      3 years, 17 days ago

      yes it will but i feel the need for a change. the rest of my ML are perma capping haaland so i need to switch it about to catch up.
      he SHOULD have had about 10 more goals already but they arent going in for him. as you say he'll score 4 against arse now.

      1. toerag
        3 years, 17 days ago

        and the ONLY reason i am changing him is i think HE is misfiring not that others are better. once it clicks back in (next week) hes straight back in
