The ScoutCast crew are joined by the current Fantasy Premier League pacesetter in this latest episode, as world number one Bharat Dhody drops by.

With ice flowing through his veins, Bharat risks the curse that has seen us dent the title tilt for previous top-ranked managers to join myself, Jonty, Andy and Az for a ScoutCast season highlight.

Inevitably, the four of us are a little star-struck, but in between our desperate attempts to convince Bharat to keep his cards close to his chest, we put his season and current mindset under scrutiny.

Elsewhere, your community questions lead us by the hand as we assess Harry Kane’s updated application for the Triple Captain role, review the merits of a Mohamed Salah exit plan and scratch around for Double Gameweek differentials.

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.

    Little help here guys please, chasing 20 points, he doesn't have any chips left(I got TC):

    Ryan,Ddg
    Alonso,Morgan,Lowton,Dunk,Naughton
    Sterling,Sane,Willian,Kenedy,Son
    Kane(TC),Jesus,Barnes

    Already on -4:
    A) Do I do Willian to Ramsey or Tadić for -8?
    B) Play Dunk or Lowton(opponent has double Burnley defence)
    Thanks

    1. manutd99
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      B Dunk.

    2. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      B

    3. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If you are only 20 points behind and got TC I don’t think you should worry about what he does. Play Willian over Dunk/Lowton if you are keeping him

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I will play i I keep. Question is do I keep him?:D

  2. manutd99
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Current Def

    De Gea (Lloris)

    Morgan Chilwell Christianson (Lowton Bong)

    Who to take take out Morgan or Christianson

    Thinking christianson. If so who do i bring in for -4

    A) Smalling
    B) Vert
    C) Otamendi / another city def

    1. The White Pele
      • 8 Years

  3. K.F.C
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Hey Lads hows it going?
    Any advice with this bunch would be great help cheers!

    Using BB for Cash ML final being this GW.

    DDG/Dub
    Tomkins, Long, Yedlin, VVD, Kompany
    Salah, Eriksen, Mili, Arnie, Sterling
    Kane, Jesus, Perez

    0ITB 1 FT
    Was looking at VVD + Perez > Smalling + JAyew

    Seing that Kompany may play (Should being Captain and TItle presentation etc) and don't trust Danilo now that Walker could be back

    1. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      good moves i think

    2. K.F.C
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks mate

  4. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Help me with my final decision please guys:

    Play
    a) Morgan
    b) A. King
    c) Jayew (-4)

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

      C

    2. TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      C

    3. semiconductor
      • 11 Years

      C

    4. NLB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      JAyew for the upside

    5. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Surprisingly unanimous. Interesting, as I was leaning towards B.

      Cheers guys

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

    Morgan to Chambers/Naughton/Lascelles worth a -4 hit?

    1. manutd99
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Same Question here

    3. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Don't think so

    4. NLB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't move for a hit

  6. Game of Throw-ins
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    For my Draft team, who should I play at GK:

    Hart - LEI (A), MUN (H)
    Hamer - WHM (H), ARS (H)

    Neither are nailed, but I'm not sure who is more nailed and who I should choose. These are the only two options that have two games for Week 37.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    1. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I would go for Hart

      1. Game of Throw-ins
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks, Semiconductor. I currently have Hamer, who is covering for an injured Schmeichel; however, it seems that West Ham will bring in Hart over Adrian again. It's hard to know.

        I also need to make a decision about dumping Iwobi for Wilshire or Clucas/Ki Sung.

        1. semiconductor
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          if u have have hamer already then don't waste ur transfer unless for someone much better if possible

          All options u stated are not appealing

  7. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Hiya guys, do i look G2G?

    DDG
    Yedlin - Smalling - Azpi
    Sane - Eriksen - Son - Sterling
    Ayew - Jesus - Kane
    __________________________
    Nordfelt: Lingard, Morgan, Lowton

    Took a few hits to get this, and triple captaining Jesus, but SO unsure about captaincy to be honest.

    I'm chasing so it makes sense to go with Jesus?

    Thanks all.

    1. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No one sure who would play both games but if all are I would choose Sterling over Jesus

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers for the reply bud, yeah sterling is tempting, but just keep imagining tap ins for Jesus haha!

        1. semiconductor
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Sterling is much more involved imo

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            That's a fair point, arghhhh decisions!

  8. MrMajeika
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    best replacement for Salah? Least have sterling.
    Alli
    Eriksen
    Sane
    David silva

    1. Winners900
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Alli

    2. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Eriksen out of those

  9. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Morgan or Tomkins?

    1. manutd99
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      To play or transfer

      1. Louis Van Gaalstones
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        To play sorry

    2. manutd99
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Morgan

    3. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      dgw player

  10. columbo
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Typical, Sanchez apparently not in the "provisional" squad for tomorrow night as not spotted with rest of the team. Are they usually indicative of the actual squad or have there been instances where that player still does play please lads?

    Bit worried given Mou's comments on Bailly not playing because he isn't in the World Cup this summer.. same applies to Alexis.

    Cheers

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Well, I remember MEN posted the squad just last week with no Lingard in it...and then of course he played. But if you're getting this from Utd's twitterfeed or something then I guess it's more likely to be accurate!

      1. columbo
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks mate. It's MEN as well! Hopefully more news come tomorrow but doubtful.

      2. Root
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        It's from MEN

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Lingard playing for his WC starting berth, hope for us dafty owners 🙂

  11. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Play Kiko or Ward?

    1. willl
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      take a hit for a DGW

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

        I dont do hits, and for who? Swansea? Only defs worth taking hits for are man utd, spurs and city. Have Vert and Ddg. Thanks for answers

        1. willl
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          any defender who outscores Kiko/Ward is worth a hit.

          1. willl
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            by 4 points of course

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

            Outscore by 4 yeah. And who is that, in that price racket?

            1. willl
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              dont know your budget mate, but not difficult to look at fixtures and decide.

    2. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Kiko

    3. DRAFTSNAKE
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Team Fem!
      (In my dreamworld) he starts at RW, whips in a delicious cross that hits Deeney's ham of a head, gets taken off after 63 mins again, Watford concede, he gets 11pts. Happy days.

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

        Haha the dream! Or he gets 10min cameo, or subbed off at 57min!

    4. NLB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Kiko, but I'd consider a Swans def for a -4

  12. davies
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Chambers or Naughton?

  13. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Current team

    DdG (Ryan)
    Vertongen Alonso Morgan (Simpson Lowton)
    Salah Sterling Kenedy Lingard Willian
    Kane Jesus (Barnes)

    Going for Alli and Smalling for Willian and Alonso (-4). Willian a rotation risk and same applies to Alonso with too much value tied. Good moves and anything else worth an extra hit?

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Don't like the Smalling pick tbh. Ali so could be a great differential and Smalling not nailed on both games:/

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Alonso could be*

      2. TeddiPonza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Been their main defender for quite some time now. Can’t see him being dropped.

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      You have some cash ITB, just switch Willian > Silva/or another decent mid?

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Or even just Morgan > Smalling?

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

          Short on Morgan to Smalling. Could do Willian to Arnie/Rambo/Pogba

    3. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I would make the moves

  14. Waylander
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What do you like more here boys:

    A) Naughton/Gross/Silva (-4)
    B) Naughton/Tadic/Pogba (-8)

    Thanks!

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

      That's David Silva btw

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

      C)Naughton/Ritchie/Sane (-8)

    3. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      B by miles

    4. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Don't like any of the cheap defender options there
      Silva Sané Pogba in that order for me ATM

  15. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Please help me decide to catch up rival. no money itb. These are my concerns:

    1. Kenny must go
    2. Would like to replace king
    3. got 3 spurs attackers so can't get Vert
    4. Want a 3rd city player

    so which option should I go for?
    A. Kenny+Vardy to Danilo/Laporte+Rashford/Wilback (-4)
    B. Kenny+King+Vardy to Danilo+Ramsey/Tadic+Ayew (-8)
    C. Kenny+King+Vardy to Monreal/Mustafi+Fernandinho+Ayew (-8)
    D. Kenny+King+Vardy to Chambers+Fernandinho+Rahford/Welback (-8)

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Honestly...I hate all of those options...
      Let's see your team?

      1. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Fabianski-McCarthy
        Smalling+VDH+Chilwell+Dummet+Kenny
        Salah+Sterling+Eriksen+Son+King
        Kane+Jesus+Vardy

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

          You bench boosting or something?

          1. semiconductor
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Yes I am

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

              Ok, that makes more sense!

              Kenny to Bednarek (or Lejune if you can stretch)
              Vardy to Ayew

              How much can that get you with King? Sane?

              1. semiconductor
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                I have 0 money itb if I had 0.1m I would get bednarek.

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

                  That's where Vardy to Ayew comes in.

                  There's no 4.0 defenders that will play, I don't think.

                  1. semiconductor
                    • 11 Years
                    7 years, 7 months ago

                    no there isn't. Is it worth losing Vardy for Ayew?

        2. manutd99
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I'd stick with that team. Only player I would remove be Salah but Sane and DSilva only other viable options if you wanted another city attacker but not guaranteed to play both games

          No point removing DGW player

          1. semiconductor
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            I agree i just want to replace kenny and have no money. no point playing BB with someone not playing

            Don't want to lose Salah and bring him back. I got him since gw1 so I will sell for 9.7 and bring for 10.5

    2. manutd99
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldnt get rid of Vardy for a hit. He has DGW. Always a goal in Vardy

      1. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I don't want to lose him but only way to upgrade Kenny since I have no money in the bank. Above is my team. What would you do?

      2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        except the last two games 😉

    3. Buzzy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      will selling Kenny and King give you enough for Kompany + Kennedy ?

  16. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Good morning DZ

    Lots of possible directions this wk - Thoughts very much appreciated as always 🙂

    Chasing rival (20 behind) owns Eriksen which worries me in particular - that and his TC + BB 😮

    A. Christensen Willian > Sané Naughton (-4)
    B. Christensen Willian > DSilva Mawson (-4)
    C. Christensen Lingard > Danilo Arnautovic (-4)
    D. Christensen > Smalling
    E. Willian > DSilva
    F. Lingard > Arnautovic
    G. Son Christensen > Eriksen Danilo (-4)
    H. Willian Son Christensen > Eriksen Arnautovic Mawson (-8)

    DDG
    Alonso Vertonghen Christensen Chilwell
    Sterling Son Willian Lingard
    Kane Jesus

    (Ryan Milivojevic Barnes Lowton)

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

      A

      Good luck!

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

      D or E for me. Will Dilva play both games tho?

    3. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A or B but did Silva train? is he back?

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yes. Duration unknown though.

        1. semiconductor
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          If he is back for sure then I would say he will play both games

  17. NLB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Chasing in my league, willing to take a -8 for some must haves and some differentials:

    Mahrez, Vardy, Gross, Willian to Sterling, Jesus, Fernandinho, Ramsey (-8)

    DDG
    Alonso Masuaka Morgan
    Salah Sterling Ramsey Lingard Fernandinho
    Kane Jesus (tc)

    Crazy or pull the trigger?

  18. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Is Ramsey nailed on both games and good shout too? I' between him Arnie and Tadić.

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

      I'm looking to get Rambo in now that they're knocked out of Europa League

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Will he play both games?

        1. TallestJohn

          Maybe it's me being sentimental but I think Wenger will definitely want Ramsey to play in his final home game. He ran a lot tonight though.

          Think Wenger will play his strongest team in his last few games, and he's not saving anyone for a Europa League final.

          Definitely a risk though based on his sporadic starts this season (even though he's been dealing with injuries).

            I think Tadić may be safer bet tbh. Chasimg to stay in PL, nailed on prolly both games. I prefer Rambo but u're right, he was rotated a lot:/

    Best 5.2m midfielder? Looking at Fernandinho or Young.

    Captain?

    A) Jesus
    B) Kane
    C) Sterling

    Currently on A!
    Tempted by C
    B would be the ultimate differential on my ML rival.

    Barnes & Lingard > Quaker & Ramsey (-8)?

      Hahaha, Quaner that is...

    2. TeddiPonza

      Big NO

    Already on -4 with this lot. Would you take another hit somewhere in here? Money in the bank to possibly get Salah in for free for GW38.

    De Gea
    Vertonghen, Alonso, Morgan
    Eriksen, Willian, Sterling, Gross
    Barnes, Kane, Jesus

    Subs: Ryan --- Milivojevic, Femenia, Lowton --- 0 FT, 0.9 ITB

    Gross or Willian -> Ramsey/ Tadic could be interesting punt. Nevertheless getting rid of Gross would mean that I'd need to take a hit to get Salah in for GW38 so probably not worth it. :/

  28. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A Chambers and KdB/Eriksen
    OR
    B Smalling and Alli/Sane

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years

      B
      Smalling & Sane

  29. JasonG123

    Gross and William to Ramsey and Arnautovic (-4)?

    How many minutes do we think Rambo will get?

    Salah, Vardy and Lukaku to Tadic, Jesus and Kane for -8 worth it?
