Scoutcast Episode 283 – Double Trouble

874 Comments
Share


A Double Gameweek should be a time of excitement, as Fantasy managers look forward to loading up on players with multiple games and wondering which chip to use. 

But the Scoutcast crew are far from enthusiastic, with Manchester City and Everton the key teams in the first such set of fixtures of the current campaign.

In tackling the community questions on the Sky Blues’ pair of games, Az, Joe, David and Luke are fearful of rotation and questionable form, which saw last season’s champions lose to Newcastle last time out.

Meanwhile, a suspension for Lucas Digne and lack of accuracy for Richarlison have left the crew also unimpressed with Toffees players’ potential. 

Also under consideration are the single Gameweek stars who are, arguably, being unfairly ignored and could outshine their double match counterparts. 

The latest on the Premier League’s whipping boys, who are handing oppenents a worrying amount of shots and chances, is another issue covered.

With this packed 90 minute show recorded during the end of the January transfer window David ensures we are kept to date with the latest key moves. 

The crew also find time to look over their and the community’s Gameweek 24 highs and lows, a segment of the show that Az in particular wished had been cut. 

This latest ScoutCast finishes off with the crew revealing their Gameweek 25’s plans, clean sheet picks and differentials selections.

      I’m in the same boat with Sterling/Sane.

      Sane’s stats are better but I have a hunch about Sterling producing.

      What’s your thinking please?

        I just have a feeling on Sterling and think he's more likely to get more minutes. Just hoping he has an explosive week. Its a coin flip really though

    2FT, 0.2 IDB

    GKP: Etheridge (Speroni)
    DEF: Doherty, Wan-Bissaka, Shaw, Robertson (Bednarek)
    MID: Pogba, Sterling (C), Salah (V) (Westwood) (Alli)
    FWD: Firmino, Rashford, Jiménez

    What to do here?

    I have only Sterling. First plan was Pogba+Alli to Sane+Siggy (and captain Sane) for a week and then Sane to Son. I am 0.6 short on Alli to Sane.
    Open for suggestions here...

    a) Do this
    b) Shaw to 4.4 def (Taylor maybe)
    c) just do Alli to Bilva

    Fabianski Button
    Robertson TAA Digne Doherty AWB
    Salah Eriksen Pogba Richarlison Camarasa
    Aubameyang Rasfhord Jimenez

    Such as Aguero for Auba?

    Salah Sané Pogba Richarlison (Camarasa)

    Aguero Rashford Jimenez

    Saving FT. 2.0m in the bank.

      Well I would look to bring in one more city player. You have change to get extra minutes for free.

      We have almost similar teams. I've Fabianski, Ings and Alonso vs. Jimenez, Digne, Alisson

      I am prob doing Fabianski or Button to Ederson.

    (A) Digne > Laporte
    (B) Hamer > Boruc

    Fab is my main keeper and won’t have a playing one if he’s injured this week.
    AWB will play instead of Digne if I decide on B.

    My team is all lit up with flags and in trouble - best moves here?

    A) FAnderson & Auba -> Bilva & Kun(c)
    B) FAnderson & Salah -> Sterling & Sane(c)
    C) Digne, FAnderson & Salah -> Laporte, Dilva & Sterling(c) (-4)
    D) FAnderson, Salah & Auba -> Sterling, Sane(c) & Kun (-4)

    If losing Salah I’d get him back in for Hazard next week.

    Fabs
    Doherty, Holebas, Trent
    Salah, Haz, Siggy, FAnderson
    Auba, Rashford, Ings

    Steele, Camarasa, Kolasinac, Digne
    Bank 0.7m, 2FT
