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.

    7 years, 7 months ago

    Would
    Lowton to Monrael
    Lingard to Ramesay
    Vardy to Rashford

    be worth the points hit?

    1. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No. Lingard and Vardy could still perform fine. Ramsey and Monreal could be benched first game as a rest.

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I agree with this, the second 2 transfers could score similarly

    2. Rocky FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No

    3. Real Sociabledad
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No

  2. Rocky FPL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah to Eriksen worth a hit? (Already on -8)

    1. King Kohli
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes imo

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      yes IF:
      chasing, can get him back easily and can suck it up if it backfires.

      i’m doing this as I need to close a big gap and need a differential. it’s a risk as if salah gets a goal you need Eriksen to get a goal and assist to make it worthwhile. but if salah blanks you could make a decent return

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

    For the DGW

    Dilva or Sterling??

    1. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling.

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

      Ster

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

      Both rotation risks. Fernandinho (TC)

    4. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      sterling, think both will have reduced minutes but sterling on top form

  4. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who scores more this week?

    A) Bailly, Ramsey, Arnie & Vardy

    B) Mawson, Willian, Groß & Jesus

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      B. Can't get Tadic instead of Gross?

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Don’t think it’s worth -4

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

      Bailly probably wont start, so B

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        It would be typical of Mourinho to start him after those comments yesterday.

  5. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Ddg Ryan
    Davies Mawson Morgan Christensen Lowton
    Eriksen Sterling Mahrez Willian Gudmundsson
    Kane (TC) Vardy Murray

    Already on -4, 0.1 Itb

    Which is the best move to make?
    A. Willian > Arnie
    B. Mahrez > Sane
    C. Christensen > Danilo / Laporte

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A and B (but to DSilva)

  6. George James
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Walker owners...keeping or selling?

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      not an owner but think selling would be a luxury move. even if he starts only one game could easily score 6+ points

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He's injured.

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        back in training

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not an owner but he was pictured in training so I’d keep. Not sure if peps press conference is today but hopefully find out more later

    4. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I would keep if I had him. He’s back in training.

    5. George James
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers all. Was all set on getting a third city attacker. Actually a bit dissapointed to see him training fpl
      Wise. still if fit I think he only plays one game

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

    DDG
    Walker, Verthongen, Morgan
    Willian, Milivojevic, Salah, Mahrez, Ramsey
    Jesus, Kane (C)

    (Hennessey, Tarkowski, Lowton, Barnes)

    Wounder should I transfer Willian or Mahrez out for City/Spurs midfield (Silva/Sterling/Alli/Christensen) or just keep them.
    Afraid that Willian dont get minutes and Mahrez havent done anything for long time.
    Also Walker is doubt, though he was back in training and Morgan well you know how things are in Leicester

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      W and M to Sterling and DSilva... don’t think twice

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

        Already have Walker and Jesus, Im leading my league so dont know if its worth to take a hit.

        1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I am leading my league by 84, but so am trying to get highest OR possible...so quality hits for players like DSilva or Sterling are worth it imo

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

            Yeah but cant get both since already have 2 City players.

  8. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    If you were to punt on a defender for DHW from Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs or Chelsea who is less than 5.0m, who would it be?

    Is there anyone possibly going to get two games?

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Chambers

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Chambers (with Kos out)

    3. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Chambers is the only one under 5m who will play no?

    4. Four Letter Wirtz
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Tempted by Chambers, now that Kosc is out. But whenever Chambers plays, Arsenal concede, so it seems a bit of a trap.

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, that’s my issue with Chambers/Arsenal....

    5. efcdave1982
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Chambers and possibly Lindelöf the only 2 in with a chance I'd say, neither of which are ideal

    6. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      chambers and Lindelof. both will play once but unlikely both imo

    7. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Many thanks all.....

    8. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      How much is Chambers?

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        4.7

  9. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A) Mahrez to DSilva
    B) Kenedy to Arnie
    For -8;
    DDG
    Mustafi Chilly Yedster
    Sterling Erik Son X. X.
    Jesus (K)ane
    Alternative:
    1) Sane
    2) Ramsey (knackered from Thurs game)
    3) Tadic
    4) Pogba (Who knows if he will be shackled)
    5) Hazard (too much $)
    Would any one go with these over Dilva and Arnie?

  10. Aussie Rules
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Draft league - start Fabregas or Fernandino?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Fabregas

  11. BEARDLESS GUY
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Son jwp out pogba lingard in
    Worth the moves?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Nah, spread the risk

  12. Fantasytom
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What time are press conferences today?

  13. Over Midwicket
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Danilo worth the risk? 5mil is tempting but good lord he could easily get benched. Virtually guaranteed 6+ points if he plays one game though.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Nope walker and Kompany back training so might not play

    2. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not guaranteed if Stones plays. Walker isn't ruled out either so Danilo is a punt too far for me

    3. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Feck, was looking forward to cheap City coverage..

  14. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Oh, Walker back in training? Danilo wagon derailed... 😮

  15. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What do u reckon guys, 2ft 0.3 in the bank and no chips left:

    DDG
    Mustafi Otamendi Morgan
    Son lingard Salah kenedy sterling
    Jesus Kane

    Fabianski barnes tark lowton

    A Salah and Morgan to Eriksen/hazard and naughton (cash to get Salah back next week)
    B son and Morgan to arnie and vert
    C Barnes and Morgan to ayew and naughton (bench Kenedy)
    D Salah Otamendi Morgan to DSilva vert and Alonso (-4)

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A if chasing
      C if not

      I think your team looks great for this gw with either of these but not a fan of the others

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. Sound advice. Got 30pt lead and rival has arnie Eriksen and we both have Salah so partly trying to cover them

    2. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A. No brainer if you can get Salah back without a hit.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. Yes I can get him back for free and with Burnley fixtures my bench is strong so can cope with an injury. Leaning towards A as well. Cheers

  16. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Bench boost activated, need to catch up 44 points to my ML rival - Come on!

    Lloris, fabianski
    Bellerin, Yedlin, Cedric, Mawson, Ogbonna
    Ramsey, Arnautovic, Alli, Mahrez, Willian
    Kane, Jesus, J Ayew

  17. Stoic
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Choose
    A) Mahrez + Vardy + 8
    B) Jesus + Sterling

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      B

  18. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Best 5.0m or less def for DGW:

    1. Naughton (have Fabianski)
    2. Cresswell
    3. Chillwell
    4. Other (even a punt from a big team)

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Naughton or Cedric

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Have Yoshida already 😀

    2. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'm going for Naughton and I own Fernandez.

      Can't afford Creswell though but if Masuako returns it dents his appeal slightly so happy with Naughton

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry, actually I'm going for VDH because I can't afford Naughton either. Tough times

        1. Jafooli
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          😆

    3. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I’m in a v similar position and think naughton would be for the best. quick opinion, would you bring him in for a hit over Morgan?

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        just to justify the choice - he’s nailed both games and has the best fixtures. others are more likely to concede in both

      2. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Not for a hit, I don’t think...just play Morgan, no?

        1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I think you are right. worst choice for me since niasse

    4. Stoic

  19. Ricky Spanish
    • 9 Years

    Hello everyone, nice and simple Friday morning question....

    David Silva and Ayew or Tadic and Pogba?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No, DSilva back in training so wait for more news

    2. BEARDLESS GUY
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Will David Silva and Pogba start both of their matches?

  20. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Wish Shaw was nailed for the DGW.....

    1. Rocky FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Shaw has got a CS in every league matches he started

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah just saw that but he’s nowhere near a Jose favourite.....real sham

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      or Lindelof. easy choice then

      Tough one, toss a coin

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      Syrup. FT for Nutella at lunch for sandwich

    3. Jafooli

      Yes please, let me know when they’re ready....

    4. WE GO FOR IT

      Syrup.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        With Grenade Jaffa Quake Carb Killa spread. Or the milk chocolate one. Far, far healthier (and much nicer) than Nutella.

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years

          😀

    5. sunzip14

      Save

  24. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    1. Already take -4, should I take another hit for Morgan -> Danilo/Laporte?
    Or just play Dummet?

    2. TC Kane or Jesus?
    ML rival will C Kane and play BB. My team only have 5 pts lead.

    DDG
    Mustafi, Vert, Dummett
    Salah, Sterling, Lingard, Willian
    Jesus, Kane, Vardy
    (3.9m, Mili, Morgan, Lowton)

    Thanks 🙂

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

      1. No

      2. Kane

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'd take the hit for Danilo.

      Kane.

  25. WE GO FOR IT
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Pick one:

    A. Mahrez/Son, Gross, Lukaku, Barnes -> Sanchez, Sane, Ayew, Rashford/Austin (-8)
    B. Mahrez/Son, Gross, Lukaku, Barnes -> Arnie, Sane, Ayew, Jesus (-8)
    C. Mahrez, Son, Gross, Barnes, Lukaku -> Sanchez, King, Ayew, Jesus, Sane (-12)

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Chasing 40 point lead in my ML.

    2. George James
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      B. By a long way.

      Thoughts on my post below pal?

  26. George James
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    With walker now looking potentially fit what moves would you make to this lot?

    1FT 0.5itb

    DDG
    Walker • Mustafi • Morgan
    Salah • Kenedy • Eriksen • Mili • Sterling
    Kane • Jesus

    Henessey / Barnes / Lowton / Tark

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Boring Morgan to Naughton. Rest looks good

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Morgan to Swansea/Soton defender.

    3. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mustafi to Davies/Vert?

      1. George James
        • 10 Years

        No EL, Kosc injured. I expect Mustafi to play next 2 and BUR / Leic are decent fixtures

      Yeah looking at all these exciting moves Morgan >> Naughton feels so dull. No hits would be lovely though.

      Cheers

      Morgan out. naughton/Cedric the obvious replacements pretty boring.

      Lindelof and chambers the absolute punts.

        Yeah Naughton would be my Morgan replacement. Would you take a hit to take salah out for a week and bring back for free?

        Morgan nad Austin, both won't start both games.
        Ayew and Mawson will definitely will.

      A

    4. Root

      A with Jordan Ayew

      Im also hesitating between Hazard and Aubam. Can only afford one.

      Think Aubam is nailed for both games, Hazard ceiling a bit higher but more risky and will flop if CHE dont beat LIV. but I prefer to have J Ayew in attack than Lingard or Kenedy in midfield, so thats a +1 for Hazard.

      Tough choice I feel

      How about C with Rashford for a risky roll of the dice?
