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

    Anyone thinking about Rashford as a Pukki replacement for those lovely United fixtures? Stats are dreadful admittedly.

      If you already have Vardy or can't afford him then could be a good punt. Regretted doing Wilson>Rash gw3 personally though!

        Vardy has significantly worse fixtures though... Hmmm

    My planned transfer was Son+Kane> Martial+Auba (-4) but see many getting rid of Auba and they both scored 2 each yesterday ( albeit against a weaker team). What should I do?

    A) Son+Kane> Martial+Auba (-4), If Martial gets substantial mins mid-week
    B) Just Kane>Auba
    C) Heaton>Roberto (WHU), will WC gw13 ( and take more risk with Son+Kane)

      Soy. Southampton will probably score and he has 0 attacking potential.

      Lundstram. Saka could lose his place and Lundstram is OOP.

      Defence and bench are very weak. Any non starters and you're on the back foot. 2 FT's would help.
