Scoutcast discusses Raul Jimenez, Man City rotation and the ‘template’

After a chastening weekend of football, the Scoutcast is back to reflect on all the key talking points from Gameweek 9.

You can watch it from 20:00 to 21:00 BST on our YouTube channel, or embedded in the article below.

Joe is joined by Fantasy Football Scout deputy editor Neale and special guest Karam, who has appeared on a handful of our videos already this season.

Currently positioned at 144k in the world, Karam has just deployed his Wildcard and will be discussing the make-up of his revamped Fantasy Premier League squad.

The trio above will be looking at the form and fixtures of Raul Jimenez (£7.1m), Manchester City rotation and the so-called ‘FPL template’, among other things.

There is also a differential for Joe to put forward, clean sheets, the community’s questions and a look at the Scoutcast crew’s Gameweek 10 plans.

With no-shows and auto-subs being the order of the weekend, we can expect the usual mix of sob stories and tales of jam in Rough with the Smooth.

Lessons learned from Gameweek 9

    Farewell baby KDB, you've been an awful pick. His best contributions for me were the Rico autosubs in GW 6 and 9.

    Friendly reminder that Sterling has now started 7 games in a row including the IB.

    Friendly reminder that Sterling was benched at home against Watford after literally almost the exact sequence of games.

      Non owner and have no plans to own but:
      3 wingers fit at the club right now. Sterling, Bilva, Mahrez. Sterling by far in the best form of the lot and City need the points to close the gap now it’s getting in reach. Sterling will play way more regularly during this period, especially until group stages at least are finished as their opponents aren’t challenging them slightly.

      Doesn’t really matter coz if he doesn’t bench them they could seriously haul, if he does then they play the next fixture which is another great opportunity to for a haul.
