Pep sunk his teeth into our Gameweeks, while an old moggy took a chunk out of my partner’s arm, depriving me of my appearance on this week’s ScoutCast. I’m not sure which was more painful.

At the mercy of the local A&E, Jonty, Andy and Az became my other emergency service as they stepped up on this latest episode.

Inevitably, Guardiola’s Man City teamsheet dominates your questions and the ensuing chatter. Elsewhere the boys re-appraise Kane after his Wembley haul, revisit Liverpool with their fixtures about to swing and consider whether the heavy-hitting midfielders are poised for a renaissance ahead of Gameweek 10.

As far as I know, I’ve edited out all the “pussy” jokes.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

    Who to captain?
    1) Hunemeirer
    2) Salah
    Currently on 2 but Huns class 9mins week back wherr spectacular

    1. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Errrm....

  2. czechow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Captain one out of this bunch:

    a) Richarlson
    b) Jesus
    c) Kolasinac

    1. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A for fun.

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Surely better options? But a for sure

    3. HNI
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      None of those bro. Any liv cover then do them..else richcarlison but I get nervous captaining a mid table.player

    4. Poor man's Igor Biscan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A looks a good shout

    5. Pompel
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      B

      1. czechow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I already had A) locked in. Got no liverpool coverage so bit exposed there!

  3. Visionaries
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I hope Kane is out, was looking for an excuse to use my free hit

    1. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'd be using that for a double GW.

      1. HNI
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Why would you? Free hit is best for blank when only shitty teams are having matches

        1. SkipperTG
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Interesting discussion this.

          If there are two DGW in a row, with different teams involved, is that not the best time to use this chip?

        2. Galza
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Not necessarily...
          A week like this one with limited captain appeal and a few good fixtures to boot could pay dividends...

      2. Visionaries
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I know. But I actually see a good points value in it this week. Most of the dgws are a let down or just feature crap teams

  4. SkipperTG
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Guys,

    Should I be going Hazard > Liverpool Mid?

    If not, I have no Liverpool cover. EEK.

    1. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'd do it.

    2. HNI
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      For free yes not hit

    3. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Stick and cap 😯

    4. Poor man's Igor Biscan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'd keep Haz personally. Liv may struggle to break down lower team at anfield with no Mane

      1. SkipperTG
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks all.

        It's punt time. Just not sure which way.

  5. Pinky Blinders
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Getting difficult to keep up with all the West Brom injury news.

    1. Poor man's Igor Biscan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Surely West Brom players are an awful option! I say that still as a foster owner (on bench)

      Don't have any ambition to attack and now can't even keep cleanies.

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Ray Wilkins saying Spurs won’t rush Kane back. Owners worried?

    1. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Nope.

    2. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not at all. Either plays this week, or is fresh to tear Palace a new one next week. Happy either way

    3. milejedinakhighclub
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yep.

  7. Poor man's Igor Biscan
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Start Abraham (ars) or Jones (TOT)?

    1. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Abraham

    2. HNI
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Kane not playing so good chance of Jones cleanie with 1-0

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Abraham

      1. Poor man's Igor Biscan
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers all. Kane news may have swinged things!

  8. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Elliot
    Ota Azpi Duffy Ward
    Haz Salah Choupo
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    Fabs Maguire RLC TC

    Bench order / starting eleven correct?

  9. KJT123

    KANE OUT

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years

      Glad

    2. Eze Really?

        Check Spurs' twitter.

        1. Going Home
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          That he's out? No. That he suffered a minor strain? Yes

          1. ryacoo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            It's a possibility that he's out though, so not like the person posting was just outright lying or trolling.

    All the Cuty assets benched last week to come good this week? Sterling and Jesus..

    I need it badly.

      o/

    2. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years

      Its a good test for him but not sure he's ready for the C yet.

    3. Dybala10

      Yeah

  14. Going Home

    Kane's "minor strain" to hamstring

    Can we assume he plays tomorrow and midweek but gets a rest next weekend?

    1. SamH123
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      seems a bold assumption to me?

      1. Going Home
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Is it worth risking him in two must win games? Probably. Is it worth risking him v Palace? Certainly not

    2. HNI
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Why will he be risked for a league game unlesd it decides a trophy or something. With hamstring no way you can play a rigorous sport like football

    3. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      See two types of comments - Kane definitely out (non-owners); Kane could well play (owners).

      Will see tomorrow lunchtime

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly this - the good thing (for owners) is that he isn't a huge captaincy choice this week and I'm not expecting him to get much at OT even if he does play. If your bench is strong, it could be a blessing in disguise if he has a rest.

  15. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    TEAM NEWS: @HKane underwent assessment and investigation earlier this week, which confirmed a minor strain to the left hamstring.

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Nice. Good time for Manutd to improve their season

      1. FPL_Hazards
        • 13 Years

        Not like Utd to land lucky

      lol@Kane owners.

      Shit - I own Kane too....... 🙁

  16. FPL_Hazards
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Feels weird but transfers done

    Sterling > Salah (needed a LFC player)
    Davies > Duffy (had to fund the above plus Davies bad fix and rotation risk)

    Forster
    Luiz Otamendi Ward Duffy
    Hazard Salah Richarlison
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    Bench: Elliot - RLC - Carroll - Naughton

    Should I take a hit anywhere?

    1. Stokelona
      • 9 Years

      Looks gtg

    2. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Doing exactly the same transfers

    Captaincy is hard this week, I’ve captained Kane every week so far but tempted to go for Salah or Hazard

    1. MGD

      Salaaah

  20. Gobigorgohome

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      with the Kane news I'd be nervous about two possible non-starters in him and Jesus. Doesn't mean they won't both start and might be poch mindgames but I'll be nervous (I have both).. thinking of ditching Jesus.

  22. Pompel
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    With Kane a doubt, not risking it with Jesus as 2nd striker in a 4-4-2. So one of the following options then:

    A) San(c)hez + Morata

    B) La(c)azette + Eriksen

    Harry Kane underwent assessment and investigation earlier this week, which confirmed a minor strain to the left hamstring.

      Can we actually talk about this now then.....................

  24. tokara
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    omg that WBA injuries....but cap which City player???

  25. Pazdannavaro
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Please put them in correct order to play:
    A) Choupo - may score or not. Watford pretty solid.
    B) Sterling - may play or not. If chosen can be explosive but can be a 1-pointer as well as he played 120 in the cup
    C) Jones - home vs Spurs. Will they concede? I think yes...
    D) Trippier - United may be parking th bus, so CS incoming? Or Aurier and bench incoming?
    E) Yoshida - Brighton scored vs WHU. SOU are better defensively. + goal threat and bps. Worth a shout when counting on goalless draw?

    Thank you 🙂

    SSN saying Potch and spurs to assess Kane late to see if fit ahead of Utd game.

    1. GreenArrows
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed Harry Kane is out of Tottenham's game against Manchester United tomorrow, live on Sky Sports Premier League.
      "We cannot take a risk for tomorrow, we'll see after for Wednesday. But tomorrow, it is impossible."
