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

    Current Team:

    Pope
    TAA | Soyunco | Maguire
    Sterling | KDB | Mount | Yarmalenko
    Firmino | Wilson | Tammy

    Subs: Lunds | Cantwell | Aurier

    1FT. Which move to do?
    A) Firmino > Vardy
    B) Wilson > Vardy
    C) Maguire > Pereira

    Leaning towards A atm. Thoughts?

      would probably downgrade firmino and eventually upgrade aurier/cantwell

    Is Tomori + McGinn -> Boly + CHO worth a hit?

    If I save FT, I'll have to start either Tomori or Lund, and bench McGinn

              4 of the next 6 are tough for McGinn, I got rid. Not sure the move is to get rid of Tomo atm. I'd look at other options.

        Not fancying haller / yarmo ?

        I fancy hammers can get results in the next 2 home fixtures. Dont be fooled by sheffield defence and the fact that they have never lost an away game yet.

        I would say Aguero to Haller, Son to Sterling. 🙂

          Chelsea have the second highest xG in the league after Man City. Compare the prices of Chelsea players to City and Liverpool. Triple Chelsea this season is quite simply an absolute must imo as they are incredible value. I've got Tomori instead of CHO but both clearly great value. Mount and Abraham are close to essential, everyone should have had them from weeks ago.

      Would you swap sterling to salah for -4? Already done pepe ---> kdb

      Think sterling will rest. Wanted to make this move next gw but now things have changed.

            There's a big chance since MCI is chasing hard and can't afford another slip up. This is not the same episode like the ast post-IB (90 mins + UCL + bench + Carabao). I think he'll rest in next midweek so I'm keeping and probably (c) ahead of Kun

                Indeed. But then they lost against Wolves at home with both Raheem and Kun playing 90. Your point is?

                  My point is raheem isn't worth his price. And some difficult games coming for city. Kdb is better captaincy option for me too. This is the best week to do the switch imo. Most differential salah ever

                    If you think so. Kdb obviously can 'cover' sterling in terms of captaincy and consistency, but i feel raheem os more explosive. Not sure losing hom for a hot this week, even for Salah.

                    Fwiw i have all 3 🙂

      I hate to move on Kun with these two gorgeous home fixtures coming up, but Pep's rotation is killing me and Pukki has to go.

      Want to do Kun, Pukki > ???, ???

      Currently, looking at a lot of different options: Vardy, Abe, Auba, Haller (fixtures), C Wilson, Rashford. Tough choices.

      Or could also hold on Kun for the next two and hope he plays...

      Pope
      TAA, Rico, Lundstram, Soyunchu
      KDB, Sterling(vc), Mane, Mount
      Kun, Pukki

      Stek, Guendouzi, Lowton, Wickham

        hold, no point losing him out of fear of rotation. We always knew pep roulette, so just stick to our guns (given the immediate fixtures) and pray hard.

        Not a fan of losing Pukki this week so I'd use that 1 FT to treat Stek/Wick or even Guen

      Kane > kun plan with the ft seems to be a bit dodgy now with Kun playing 90 mins last evening. Would you still go ahead with this transfer? Have kdb as the only other city player currently.

        I already own him so I think I'll hold but would be reluctant to bring him in. Tough call with those 2 home fixtures. If he plays, he is basically guaranteed to score. At least the Atalanta game was at home.

        hard to call.

        If he plays, he'd probably score.

        But then losing supernailed, perhaps rejuvenated Kane to rotation-risk Kun is a big gamble to me.

        Sorry, cant help here

        How many more chances do you want to give Kane. I already sold him this week after holding him all season, enough is enough.
