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.

    OMG the weekend is not here yet.

    What changes should I make to this team?

    Pope (Button)
    TAA, Ota, Dunk, Lundstrom, Mings
    Sterling, KDB, Mount, Cantwell, (Dendoncker)
    Auba, Pukki, Tammy

    1FT, 1.7ITB

    Open to anything at this stage, having a mare.

    1. JohnBlack
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Ota > Rico

    2. Ritchies Magic Hat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Upgrade Pukki looks the easiest one without hits?

      1. Obi1Kenobi0
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Am open to hits at this stage within reason, who would you upgrade him to?

        1. Ritchies Magic Hat
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Haller looks a decent shout for next two? Or can you get Vardy if downgrading Ota as well?

          1. Obi1Kenobi0
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Had thought about Vardy yeah. I do like Jimenez as a straight swap too. Upgrading Cantwell is the other obvious choice?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

            2. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            1. Tempestic
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I'm 95% sure its a joke, people don't actually do that. Well except u 😉

        5. SHOOTER MCGINN
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I'm selling to make his price go down then getting him back again cheaper before the deadline for a -4

        6. 1zverGGadeM
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Keeping for 3 more weeks at least. FORM > FIXTURES

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            son has hardly displayed form in the league tbh, he has bene ok. Nothing to be excited about

            1. 1zverGGadeM
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              As a Liverpool fan I can say that Son is always the most dangerous player when playing us

      5. Ziyech on the Bench
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Do you guys think Otamendi is dropped?

          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Fred the Red.

            Ota the Blue.

            1. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

          3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Arsenal need one as Gunnersaurus just put a canon in his mouth and lit it

        3. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I even tried punching stones in the face but nothing seems to be getting him back in the team

        4. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Not sure but I ain't getting rid before these fixtures

        5. 1zverGGadeM
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Cancelo is on trend now

      6. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Agüero red card would be nice 🙂

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Sadistic 😀

      7. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Will Otamendi start in the league?

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          50/50

        2. 1zverGGadeM
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Very likely if Rodri is out this gw

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Stones?

            1. 1zverGGadeM
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Stones is a half the defender that Ottamendi is, but only Pep knows who to start sadly..

        3. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Im keeping but if he doesnt start thats proof hes been dropped

        Aguero benched on Saturday?

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

        2. Rainer
          • 7 Years

        3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Pep said Jesus got in last time because he was in rhythm. This looks like a Kun groove to me

          1. Bouncebackability
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Pep is a fraud though, says one thing then does the other

            1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              We all know it. I have him and it will be impossible to sell unless he is benched Sat.

        4. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
