Mohamed Salah’s remarkable debut season just keeps on rolling and, while the ScoutCast crew have been fervent in their support for the Egyptian from Gameweek 1, we’ve been a lot more reluctant to hand him the captaincy.

Salah’s numbers and, in particular, his head-to-head with Golden Boot and armband rival Harry Kane, come under scrutiny in this latest episode. Jonty, Andy, Granville and Az join me as we reveal the true tale of our lack of faith and the damage done. The evidence is conclusive and nobody has more regrets than yours truly.

Elsewhere, your community questions have us revisit some of the Gameweek 31 casualties that had their credibility knocked by a weekend littered with eye-opening disappointment and we assess the allure of Arsenal’s favourable run-in. That’s also conclusive.

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.

      Azpi&Sterling to Bavies&Mahrez/Eriksen is what the majority are doing.

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years

      I wouldn't be happy with that.

  7. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years

    Is 73 with only 10 players any good? Will I fall from my 7k rank?

      If Son's nailed on, yes, g2g. If not -- sell him to Mahrez.

      1. TLF

        • 9 Years

        Not sure how I'll know the answer to that one mate, I'm guessing he will start though given recent mins.

    repost new article..

    A) Sterling to Arnie (free)
    B) Sterling & Ota to Mahrez & Davies (-4)

    1. arndff_
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Isn't Sterling to Mahrez doable?

      1. minges
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        unfortunately no, sv on sterling is 8.4 for me

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I wouldn’t sell sterling if that’s your sale value.

          Your going to want him for the rest of the season regardless of this 31 blank.

          He could easily get returns at Chelsea even from the bench. A move you could regret IMO.

  10. AzzaroMax99

    What to do here? My squad is awful. 🙁
    Sell Sterling, Alonso, Wilson Dunk, Taylor, Mkhi?? 2 of them need to go 🙁

      Dunk > BGW31 defender

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Which one? Dawson, Zanka, Hegazi?

      2. Darklord_bg
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, just this. The rest of your team is fine. If anything, it's a benching headache.

    Its a mess, but what do I fix first? Dont want to use chip in 31, but still 2 games before.

      Jones, Sterling > Robertson, Mahrez

  12. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years

    Buy or sell Sterling?

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Thinking of selling. Couldn't give a crap about lost value as Silva or Sane on WC 32 look just fine to me.

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Not buy for sure...

  13. DIOCCÁ
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    I bought Otamendi at 5.8, so can sell for 6.1. But think ill want him back later - i.e
    GW35. Should I sell him? (For Bavies)

    Rest of defence is:
    Alonso, VVD, Jones, Mee

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      You broke the flow bro

      1. DIOCCÁ
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Apologies.

        Shall I buy or sell sterling and son?

        Or son and sterling?

        Have both ATM.

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I'd keep, 2 good fixtures coming up.

      1. DIOCCÁ
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Two good fixtures?

  14. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    How many posts per page will have the words Son or Sterling in them? My guess is 18

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      at least 90%

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years

      don't forget the score checks and subtle rank brags 😛

    3. JackQualt

      Does yours count as two?!

    4. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Son.

      1. JackQualt
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Sterling

    5. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      If Bemba Da is around 100%.

    6. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Almost as high a percentage as people moaning about something

  15. Scratch
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    If Sterling looks highly likely to start Sunday it's madness to sell him now

    1. Virgil Hilts
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      What if you could have Eriksen instead for free?

    2. JackQualt
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Who says he’s highly likely?! Wasn’t even on the bench and pep managed to avoid mentioning him, it’s not like they’re struggling without ...

        Very close to my team. I'm thinking Lingard to Arnie.

        Know Jlingz has a good fixture but can't see him starting.

        1. stat

        I'm sure many people like myself enjoyed the absence of sterling and agueros small haul more than arsenals self destruction at home... that's a first!

          How you doing Arndff! Your OR is looking very good, keep it up.

          Personally, I wouldn’t sell sterling.

          Save the transfer.

          1. arndff_

            Hi! Things are going good, recently. Thanks, I’ll give my best!

            Don’t you yhink that Mahrez could outscore him in the next 2 games?

      6. Alex_thekid

        Sold B Silva for Wallcot lol

          When he was about to face Arsenal away? Are you mad?

          1. Alex_thekid
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Sane was back didn't know Sterling was out injured at the time so thought Silva wouldn't play that's why

      7. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        So many Arsenal players lack fight. Where is the guy who says they will man mark KDB out of the game? Where is the guy who says he will fight for every 50/50? Where is the guy who says he will keep a clean sheey whatever it takes?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Is that Cazorla?

            If it is, I 100% agree with you. Brilliant player, it’s horrible to hear about his injury horrors.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Sold/retired 7-10 years ago and replaced by frauds.
