Is now the time to give up on the premium strikers – we’re looking at you Harry – and throw our cash at a “power five” midfield?

It’s a big question that requires a crack team to answer.

Unfortunately, we only have the ScoutCast crew available, though we did manage to pull off a big loan signing to help us out.

Jay Eggersdorf – the current “live” Hall of Fame number one joins Jonty, Andy and Az as we take on the big topic of the day.

In the middle of another stunning season – Jay reveals his strategy behind his recent move to shed Kane on the back of another impressive points tally.

Then on 44 minutes, Jay’s phone is almost drained of life. Tickled by the on-camera events that follow, Jonty and Az struggle to hold it together to discuss the recruitment of Paul Pogba and the merits of West Ham investment before we look ahead to Gameweek 19.

It’s an intense 90-minutes, with the frivolity of this “festive” ScoutCast limited to silly jumpers and hats. Though we each get the opportunity to reveal our Christmas wish.

Just one wafer-thin hat-trick please Harry.

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

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I like it if it's free.

      1. Erlanger
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        It's for a -4 but I'm debating it nevertheless. Worried about City this GW. Cheers!

        1. waldo666
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I don't mind it for -4 if you captain Sterling

    2. Larry Kane
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Big yes.

  3. waldo666
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Would you play Ryan or Adrian this week (Adrian would be a Hammers double up)?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Eff off. ( I am playing Adrián) 😆

    2. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I would double up.

      1. Optimus.
        • 14 Years

        This is a family place mate, enough of your sex life

    3. vartshk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Adrian. Backing watford to score if they can keep 11 players on the pitch. Newcastle not so much.

    4. Erlanger
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Double up

    5. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

    6. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers all, sounds like a double up it is. Have Richarlison too so want him to be peppering the back of Brighton's net really.

  4. Ligdon
    • 10 Years

  6. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling and Firm for 104 TV

    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    In answer to various @FPLVirg questions from earlier ...

    I had a power 5 in midfield about 5 or 6 gameweeks ago.

    I also had Ogbonna 2 gameweeks before everyone's started talking about him.

    2. Sánchez

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Are you still big at the back, Sanchez?

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Yep

  8. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Okay...

    Two replies not wanting to lose Morata due to value if they get Aguero and can't afford the swap back....so plan two...

    Most of us have RLC as fifth mid...what are the chances RLC's Palace score two or three against a rudderless and kak Swansea and that RLC get's something out of it....?...bare in mind he may be back in the middle with Benteke out...

    ...and just bench Morata ready for next week...

    Surely that's just fine...

    1. vartshk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I can't help you there, its your call!

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Put another way...RLC/Morata....swa/BHA/STK....and all nailed for starts...nothing wrong with that...

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Get a grip. What's Loftus-Cheek doing in your team, anyway???

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Playing against Swansea...

            TC at 4.3 under a new manager mightn't be terribe for those not switching to a power five!

              • 12 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

          If someone had told me a week or two ago that my transfer before GW19 deadline would be Matais Jorgensen, I would have laughed at them!
          All messing aside, I really like HUD upcoming run of fixtures and they look an improved team of late...or am I deluding myself?

            I agree on HUD. I picked up Depoitre this week. He & Mooy could be productive over the next six GWs.

                  fair enough, every $ counts for me atm and I'll be happy with clean sheet points from him if we're lucky enough to get a couple out of them!

            I presume it stops when there are not enough owners left for the number of owners selling required to cause another drop. Dont know the algorithm 🙂

          Salah - Richarlison - Sterling (C) - Zaha
          Agüero - Kane - Firmino

          Bench: Elliot, Carroll, Hegazi, Mee.

          Anything here worth a hit or G2G guys?

        9. Maddi Son
          • 8 Years

          I know it's Pep but Aguero looks pretty nailed compared to normal right? I mean with Jesus playing the other night.

          1. gavigan
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            He’s nailed this week, it’s the next 2-3 you need to worry about

            1. Maddi Son
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              I'm thinking of doing Kane to Aguero and then back to Kane. I think it's a gamble that has a good chance of paying off.

              1. gavigan
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                Yeah, him or Lukaku are good choices for that. I would too.

          2. Totalfootball
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Can do kane to aguero and back to kane
            but then we need to get rid of kane again for 21 and then get him back again for 22
            All transfer will be wasted at 1 spot

            • 11 Years

            Nailed to start but could come off at 60. That is why i am going for KDB

        10. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          See how we get 2 Scoutcast options above? One audio, one video? How come only the audio has the theme music intro? I say the scouts should have to like sing the theme music each week for the video one. It's not the same without the theme song

          Having Coutinho is proving difficult as he is undoubtedly class, but Klopp is going to bench him for Swansea or Leicester games I can see it. In my head it is the latter, with Burnley away a couple days later. City have longer periods in between games and KDB/Sterling/Sane had a week off this week, so thinking less rotation there.

          This week has definitely made me scratch my head over transfers more than usual.

          May end up playing 10 this week, so many fires to put out and need City in my life.

          1. Old Wulfrunian
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Hazard could also get a rest against Brighton or Stoke.

            • 9 Years

            A fresh Mane will likely eat into his minutes over the next week I agree but even off the bench against those sides he can deliver

          4. Bggz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            i dont think will, hes had time off and there are other rotation players in the squad. salahs more at risk

            1. gavigan
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Coutinho and Mane get the most rest because they’re made out of glass. Firmino and Salah less so.

          (B) Morata and RLC to Rooney and Pogba (-4)

          Question: I'm usually right behind Kane but I'm surprised so many are putting the armband on him. Away to Burnley doesn't sream goals to me. Is it because Tarkowski is banned?

          £1.6m ITB

          A) Zaha & Mbemba > Pogba & Ogbonna w/ £0 ITB - 'the planning ahead safe option'
          B ) Lowton & Kane > Otamendi & Aguero w/ £1m ITB - 'gamble on City with safer defence'

            • 10 Years

            A good bet. Check the fixtures for the next 6.

            • 16 Years

            They have decent fixtures, he knows where the goal is. If I go Huddesfield, I may just save a bit more and go Quaner and use the moolah elsewhere. But if you are happy to spend that bit more, easily Depoitre.

        20. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Well I dunno...final post about 'Arry...

          He last played on 16/12 against City at the Etihad and failed to score ...which is kinda ok being as most teams barely get a kick of the ball...

          10 days before that he scored a brace...

          Why is he suddenly a bad pick?

          1. Sánchez
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            He blanked in his most recent game.
            Hazard went from essential to flaky because he only got an assist.
            Basically if a player goes 20 minutes without a goal, they're useless

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years

              Seems that way.

          Don't do this often, but wondering what others would do here. 2 FT, zilch ITB.

          Ryan / Elliot
          Otamendi Dunk Daniels (Tarko) (Moreno)
          Salah Azarr Richarlison Coutinho Gross
          Kane Ayew (Morata)

          City attack is priority. Don't mind playing with 10 if Daniels doesn't make it. Really want to save pennies and get Alonso next week too

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Hazard to de Bruyne, Morata to Firmino

          2. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            What's your options?
            Is Kane out a goer for you for the like of Aguero or Firmino.

            Tarko, Moreno, Morata are all out.
            Daniels & Richarlison are doubts, so are those the ones you'd shift?

            1. Bouncebackability
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Aguero would be an amazing option this week (will check presser out obviously), but he seems like I'd just adding another problem for a few days time.. But its being considered nevertheless.

              Not keen on Hazard out Doos.

              Will keep Daniels as no point shifting him before Tarko or Moreno.

              Could do Morata and Coutinho to Bobby and Sterling/KDB.

              I can see a -8 over the next two gameweeks.

              1. Gnu
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                If Richarlison news that he's off for Grandads funeral then he'll be better option than Cout.
                If you needed dosh then Moreno to one of the WHam boys would ensure a back regardless of Daniels (Citeh away).

                Your Alonso wish looks like a Kane move at a glance.

                How are you top of 'Wigan' with this bunch? 😆

                    Meant to put in 'is confirmed'.
                    There's been mention that his Grandad has died but that's about as far as anything of substance, the rest has been conjecture I believe.

                    I've got him aswell btw.

                  I haven't been getting captains right either, so God knows. Just been keeping my head above the water.

                  Not keen on West Ham defender. Not overly fussed with them for the double, would be Adrian or nobody.

                    Adrians a decent shout but that's not solving current problem.
                    I get your question about Quaner earlier but I'm not convinced on him.
                    You could do a full downgrade on Morata and shift Gross to Sterling.
                    Depending on downgrade , it might give you enough to go Moreno > Alonso.?

                      I have looked at that.

                      Can do Morata, Gross and Moreno to Alonso, Sterling and 5.2 striker. Or Tarko instead and get Depoitre.

                      Guess I'm just pining for more than one City and certain chap called Kevin.

            Nah. Abraham or Morata gotta go. Bench is incredibly weak.

              Morata & Kiko are back in a few days. Doesn't look weak to me.

                Could easily have 10 players this GW, or less.

              Abraham is 99% certain to start against Palace. Why would you take him out?

              I struggle to see any player in that lineup that is likely to be rested.

            sell Kane to Kun

              Selling Kane shouldn't be the priority here
