Scoutcast Episode 303 – Template Busting

415 Comments
Share

Are we witnessing the end of the early-season template?

Liverpool have daunting fixtures and alternative captaincy shouts are emerging each week.

Meanwhile, Manchester City assets still look strong, but are beset with injury and rotation fears.

Could it be time to turn our attention away from the North-West of England for our premium picks and towards the East Midlands and North London?

In this latest Scoutcast episode, Joe is joined by Karam and Who Got The Assist’s Tom to look back on Gameweek 7 and ahead to Gameweek 8 and beyond.

Topping the bill is the crew’s attempt to assess which premium-priced and captainable assets to target and which to consider ditching.

By happy coincidence, Karam is on the verge of Wildcarding and gives a sneak preview of his ambitious plans as the second international break of the season approaches.

The ascent of Riyad Mahrez gets an airing as does a stock check on the promoted teams. It looks like Fantasy managers may have to look elsewhere for whipping boys, with the three top-flight newcomers all exhibiting considerable promise.

Tom takes his turn to select a differential, the best clean prospects are examined and a Trainspotting analogy also features in this packed 80-minute episode.

      I really want to save the FT so I can have 2 FT after the IB and do a mini WC.

      If KDB doesn’t play Cantwell will be first sub.

      I want to ditch Aurier also but might play him next GW at home although Spurs defense looks rubbish.

        I presume that you'll lose 0.4m value of your team, if you do ship him.

        It's a question of whether you'd be in a position of affording him back, once he's recovered.

              The rule for a 6 match ban is only enforced for face to face misconduct. Not social media. I read the rule, someone posted it here, dont have a link.

              A fine and compulsory education more likely in Bilvas case.

          You don't need a WC at all, this is very close to my team.
          I'd drop Digne and would personally prefer TAA to any other Liv defence - but not critical.

          I think it's a good side you've got there, only priority is Digne really - who I really like, but Everton are terrible.

Bilva taken off before 60, whether that was him not playing very well, or Pep having an eye on the weekend I dont know.

        Does anyone think this Martial malarkey is some kind of behind the scenes issue at this point? Makes no sense to be out for this long and constantly being "maybe next week" then being delayed one more week over and over. Pogba's injury seems the same. He couldnt be bothered to do anything at all against Arsenal, if he were really injured then surely he would have given his all and then realized something was wrong and subbed off during the game.

          Martial injury is groin related and he has an injury record that suggest no foul. And why would he do that when he gets to play in his preferred position in a big club? Pogba starting to realize he is not good enough to be a star in PL and wants to play in a league where he can dominate more. Sorry, but for me he is just a player with great individual skills but that´s about it. Unless he has Kanté running his socks off for him or against the minnows of Cardiff and Huddersfield he has never proven himself against the big clubs.
