With scores all in the thirties, Gameweek 13 was one to forget for the Scoutcast crew.

After forcing themselves to relive this dire set of points, Az, David, Luke and Joe dust themselves off and look ahead to better times.

Manchester City’s wealth of midfield options come under particular scrutiny during the community questions segment. A total of 44 points from David Silva, Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling against West Ham last weekend makes this is a group of players that demand attention.

Tottenham’s emerging assets in the centre of the park have also caught the community’s collective eye.

Son Heung-min, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen all impressed in the north London side’s victory over Chelsea at the weekend. However, the Scoutcast crew are more interested in their premium-priced teammate Harry Kane to help them take advantage of Spurs’ kind set of festive fixtures.

Elsewhere, David reveals some notable team frailties and the players who are set to exploit them over December. Gylfi Sigurdsson is looking such a strong option in this regard that Joe wishes there could be two of the Everton set-piece specialist to draft into his squad.

Differentials, clean sheets, captaincy and transfer plans are also discussed. With the festive fixture list stepping up a gear, this covers both Gameweeks 14 and 15 as both take place during a frantic six-day block of Premier League matches starting this Friday.

    Lets hope TAA will keep his place on the bench for a while or atleast for all tougher Liverpool fixtures - sore non owner.

      As a new owner i'm actually quite concerned by the line up tonight, suggests to me TAA may not be first choice. Fine for this weekend probably but not sure long term.

      1. AuFeld
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I am not concerned. It's probable that he is being rested for the weekend.

      2. kalmoffit
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        As a long time owner, used to it.

  2. Syd.

    This City rotation is going to become very annoying if Aguero starts to get rotated

    1. J T
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Just have a good bench and be patient the points will come eventually

      1. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He will play vs weaker teams as his attacking threat is better than his defensive work, Gomez will play vs top teams

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers Klopp. All we can ascertain is that he certainly isn’t first choice and when all defenders fit he will be sacrificed

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not bothered, own 3 of them and they haul enough to cover any potential no shows.

    Didn’t realise Choupo-Moting is at PSG! Slight upgrade on stoke

    3. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      There were too much of champions league winners in his old side at stoke so he went to some more casual surrounding

    4. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Amazing.

  4. french holiday

    Watching the wrong game

    Aston Villa 2-3 Notts Forest

    After 20 minutes

    1. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

    1. french holiday

      Marco Silva is taking notes.

  8. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    There is always the Europa League

  9. The Train Driver

    Lovren, best def in the world...

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

      Vvd at fault there

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Lol nah was Lovren and Gomez standing still

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

          Ok, not a fan of Lovren but that was vvd fault all day

          1. Dr Van Nostrand
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            VVD fluffed the clearance but it went straight near Lovren and Gomez who were caught flat footed and should have easily cleared. Awful defending

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

              Yep by vvd

              1. Dr Van Nostrand
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Lovren was clueless and part responsible for both goals

        2. kalmoffit
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          TAA straight back in.

      2. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]

    Bernat

  11. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    This is what happens when TAA doesn't start. Klopp take note.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Just about to post exact same

  12. Dr Van Nostrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Awful defending from Lovren

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Best defender in the world they say

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

      Lovren gets blame even tho VVD could’ve cleared it

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Lovren should have cleared it as well. He's bloody clueless back there has VVD always holding his hand

    3. EDUARDO DA SILVA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Watch the game monkey.

  13. CloudSky

    Paul McCartney playing tonight in Paris.

  14. Fantastisk
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Yessss PSG.

  15. Rsforstar
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Karius is really pool's lucky charm last season. Without him this happens

  16. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Where's Erriksen?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Bench

  17. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Tuchel auditioning for the utd job - key skills required: be a dickhead on the touch line

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No way he's beating Mou on that parameter.

  18. Dr Van Nostrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    One way traffic in Paris. Can't expect to contain them with passengers like Hendo Milner and Lovren

    1. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      More of poor clearance from Van Dijk...

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Just Henderson in the midfield is fine. Milner and Henderson together in an away game in Europe is an overkill. Too stagnant and predictable, that midfield 3.

      Don't get me started about Lovren.

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Keita and Fabinho are ideal for PSG away

  19. french holiday

    Iiverpool look out of sorts

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      these days

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's just a superior team making them that way.

  20. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years

    Champagne football here from PSG

  21. Syd.

    I wouldn't piss on Neymar if he was on fire

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      When would you piss on him?

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        When he is rolling about the pitch

        Any spillage would water the grass

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          You'd piss on him quite often then. 😀

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      What if he was stung by a jellyfish

    3. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I just hope his antics and ego don't rub off on Mbappe.

  22. CloudSky

    PSG doing to Pool what Pool was doing to City last year. Prime example of Gegenpress.

  23. Epic Fail

    More importantly, Tammy Abraham hat trick

    Blimey that was a horrible challenge by Verratti. Lucky wasn't red

  28. LarryDuff
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Blatant red

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      The referee isn't that biased

  29. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ref bottled that. Red card all day long. He saw it because I got that card out lightning fast.

    If that was on Neymar, he could have died.

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

      😆

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He still would have been rolling

  30. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Liverpool sell one clown to buy another clown for 75m who plays behind another clown (read, best defender in the world) only to get knocked out in the group stages.
