Scoutcast discusses changing of the captaincy guard

1,669 Comments

Joe is joined by Karam and Tom from Who Got the Assist? for the latest episode of the Scoutcast tonight.

You can watch it on our YouTube channel from 8pm BST to 9pm BST.

As the Champions League is back on our screens, this episode will overlap with the European action and we will try to bring you regular updates from Manchester City and Tottenham’s matches.

Episode 303 marks a slight changing of the guard when it comes to the captaincy.

After a rotation of Liveprool and Manchester City players in the early rounds of the season, Arsenal are starting to creep into the equation some more.

What impact this should have on our transfers and armband decisions will be the task of Joe, Karam and Tom tonight.

After some impressive statistics in recent weeks, Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) commands some of our time as we discuss if he’s worth signing.

There will also be time to have a weekly look at how defenders are getting on at both ends of the spectrum as well as the success of assets from newly-promoted teams.

      Then the rest of the match happened and I decided to accept Cantwell off my bench except if KDB's out for 3+ GWs

        Yeah, agree but really wanted to go into the IB with 2FTs. Have Lundy, Tomori and Pope too. Could also just take a 0.2 loss on KDB and get another mid but no one really stands out to me and I'd just want him back

          No rotation risk. No scary fixtures... And no better options out there for this GW at that price. Note that I said this GW, because the main reason for the FT is to get a starter

              You'll bench Lowton for Soy after this GW, remember? You have Soy, Tomori, Lund and I guess TAA ahead in the pecking order. I see the appeal of going as cheap as possible in Kelly though. Up to you on that one

      Montoya is about to go down in price right? So, your gonna lose 0.1 on him anyway....I'd trade Montoya to another player the same price who is about to go up in price and has a decent fixture. If you make it past this week Soyuncu's fixtures get much better and obviously you'll get KDB back.

      If you desperately want 2FTs for IB Montoya would be your best bet to play against shaky Spurs.

        As good a chance as ever. Just rested in prem, 5 days before next game. Wolves at home is definitely a game more suited to Aguero than Jesus. He will also want his experience with no KDB.

              And another factor is Aguero wont play internationally, so will have a 2 week break after Wolves.

          I wasn't saying he won't play. We have no idea. I'm saying its a risk. Pukki and Cantwell at home against Villa could be fruitful. You don't need to do it imo. If you have value tied up in KDB you'll also lose that.

      When you wild card will you want KDB in your side? If so, do you have any value tied up in him now? If I sold him now it would cost me 0.3 more to buy him back. 0.3 can be the difference between some one you want and someone you can afford.

    Been off the site all day, so excuse my lack of knowledge re: KDB situation. I see folk looking to offload him. Is it likely/probably/definitely out of WOL game, or what's the story?

    Thanks.

      Unsure. Sounds like a minor injury (groin strain), will be assessed before wolves game and pep said he'll be fit after int break. So I reckon he'll be rested this week. But you never know!

      Nothing definitive but Pep said it’s “not serious”. Given squad depth I’d expect him out for GW8 but we don’t know how long in total. At least there’s the IB

        Yeah, assumed as much. Cheers! Downgrade to Bilva or Mahrez could be on the cards! The latter having played 90 mins tonight doesn't bode so well for a Wolves start, though...

            Pep said he’s “likely” back after IB, so I’d say max drop would be 0.2
            I’ve had from the start so it’s a def hold for me I just need to sort out bench

    Call me optimistic but this KDB injury could be a blessing in disguise if he misses this week, both internationals and then back fresh for GW9.

    Last IB he came back off the bench and only scored 1 point. At least this way we know he nots playing this week and can prepare a replacement.

    It gives you a stronger team for this gameweek, no doubt, but you have to consider what it will take to get Salah back (if you want to) and if you're happy risking not owning him at all.

        With your rank you can afford to ride it out until int break..or take a chance and maybe climb even higher. Were you planning on different moves after the int break or just saving in case of injuries?

          I planned to make these moves during the Intl. Break. I'm quite happy to sell Salah for GW9-12. I guess if they were good during the break, they'll be good now as well with WHU vs CPL and Arsenal vs BOU

          Also I don't understand how my rank has any bearing. I'm trying to make the best decisions points wise period. Unless I'm defending a lead at the top of my mini league or any league, it shouldn't make any difference as to how I play. The goal is to score the most points. That's it.

            Your sitting at about 16k right so you have a high points total, therefore likely to be in strong positions in your leagues and so can afford to take a hit. Unless maintaining a lead in a mini league doesn't matter to you. Thats all I meant.

I wanted rid of Barnes but now I can't really swap him for the player I want so would almost just do Montoya -> Soyuncu just to have a solid defender for the upcoming weeks then do Sterling to De Bruyne later even though I wouldn't play him this week against Liverpool.
