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.

    When Raheem has time to think, he nearly always messes up

      This! Does the difficult things well and the easy things badly.

  2. Epic Fail

    Sterling benched as punishment for that miss.

    There's the Sterling we know and love

    Pope
    Tomori VVD Söyüncü Zinchenko
    De Bruyne Mane Sterling
    Jimenez Haller Abraham

    Heaton McGinn Cantwell Rico

    What’s more essential this week for a -4
    Zinchenko - Boly
    McGinn - CHO

    Will Zinchenko start basically? Is triple Chelsea to much this week?

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

    There he is.

    Sterling back to usual.

    0.1 short of Mané > Sterling for the Kun, KDB, Sterling triple up 🙁

    I hate WCs lol

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

      -4 worth it?

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Prob not as I think a LIV attacker is worth having and knowing my luck Sterling won’t start at weekend!

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I could do it but doubt sterling starts..not sure it's worth it

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        It prob isn’t but you can’t watch this City match and not want to do it!

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Not saying it's not tempting.

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            V unlikely to be the smart move though!

  7. ZimZalabim

    someone said something about him being underrated

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      They always do. Brilliant player

  8. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Ahhh there’s the real Sterling

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

    Why is Salah's flag removed but not Otamendi's?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Mark doesn't own Ota?

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Flagism.

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

      Mark.

  10. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Salah to Sterling or Auba to Kun ?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Both

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Already have Ota and KdB

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Get rid of Ota.

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

      Dont get Sterling in until after hes been benched. Its coming very soon, probably next game.

    3. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not any easy call I’m afraid.

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I know. Im probably going Auba to Kun

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Keep Salah, kdb over sterling all day

  11. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I am hoping for another Dilva double digit haul 😀

  12. adibo
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Yes sterling on the bench vs villla after that

  13. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling sitter. Back to normal!

  14. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling practicing his misses for the weekend there.

  15. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    He's trash

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Bemba has his moments.

  16. jtreble
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Foden with another killer pass.

  17. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    He was never ever scoring that one

  18. Kasper the ghost keeper
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Kane to?
    A) Aguero
    B) Aubamayang
    C) Vardy

    1. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A

  19. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    No way Sterling gets more than 1 point next GW.

  20. internal error

    What a clearance. Best move of the game. OTA is nailed after doing that

  21. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Salah not flagged anymore.

    I think he is done having his tea break.

  22. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I’m pondering Salah > Sterling and having no Liverpool attack. Madness? Would leave me with 3 city attackers (Aguero, KDB, Sterling) and only TAA as my sole Liverpool asset for now

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking the same thing. 2 City home games look great for points hauls.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Having no Liverpool attack feels so wrong but you can’t have them all I guess and Sterling looks too good to ignore problem is I can’t part with either KDB or Kun to find him

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      “... I’m pondering Salah > Sterling and having no Liverpool attack ...”. Many are think the same thing for the next two matches. Tough call.

  23. TheSteel

    Sterling was rested GW 6. Which of course means... nothing

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

      VERY very similar circumstances to this GW.

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Internationals, gw5, Europe then gw6?

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

          Yes exactly that.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Oh Viennnnnaaaaaa.

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

    Pep furious with that miss

  25. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    God I'm glad this 26-points-and-counting haul isn't happening in FPL.

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

  29. Aubamazette
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    It’s Tuesday and people think Sterling is going to get rested for the PL game, plenty of days rest

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
