Scoutcast discuss Aguero rotation and budget defences

The Scoutcast is back once again to cover the key discussion topics ahead of Gameweek 11.

David will be joined by Az and current FFS Mods and Cons joint-leader Andy Goddard this week.

The show will run from 20:00 GMT until 21:00 GMT. You can watch it on our YouTube channel.

Up first, the Scoutcast crew will reflect on a Gameweek 10 fraught with contrasting emotions.

Andy did exceptionally well – David and Az did not.

Then, moving forward into Gameweek 11, we will tackle the Manchester City rotation debate, how seriously to take Leicester’s recent form and whether budget defences are coming back into fashion once again.

    If Kun gets substituted before Jesus tonight then he starts this weekend

      Welcome to planet earth

      There are some highly perceptive people on this forum.

      Sarcastic comments from cowards who don´t even link their team lel

    So if City does manage 5-0 or more against Soton then Liverpool or Leicester will win the league, right?

    Does anyone actually watch the scoutcast live when there are games on?

        Woho ... 😀

    welcome to my team David Silva. No Sterling. Need that money spread across the team, don't care about haul, in the long term it's correct decision.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      In the long term Sterling will wipe the floor with Silva

    2. The Berbatouch
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I made that move a few weeks ago after a few Sterling blanks. So far so good, but I'm sure Sterling will come to punish soon. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't considering Salah-->Sterling for this weekend, but seems a bit knee jerk.

      Bye bye points and rank

    4. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Which defender are you downgrading to?

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

    Aguero has scored one non-penalty goal in all comps, vs Atalanta, since GW5...

    More of a dropping in the important games, than being rotated.

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Scored in GW6 also

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

        "Non-penalty goal"

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Oops my bad! As you were 😆

  7. HNI
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Need Max 5.6mn defender
    Current defence is Otamendi* Montoyo* TAA Digne Lund. Money ITB:0.1mn
    Need a replacement for Otamendi especially for gw 12 as this gw11, I have Montoyo vs Norwich. But he had terrible game vs EVE and subbed early so will Montoyo lose his place? If yes need I need good long term defender.
    Had eyes on Lascelles but always concede vs BOU@Gw12. Is Manutd defender Maguire worth a punt then?

    1. Totti
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      chilwell?

      1. HNI
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        he has Arsenal in gw 12 when I need a new defender most

          Cheers mate

  10. FOO FIGHTER

    Wonder whether tonight will be bench duty going forward for Gunn?

  11. andres

    4 years, 5 months ago

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I like b with maupay

      1. andres
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        The fixtures are terrible after Nor, for ings it looks beautiful after city

  12. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Pep going for the jugular after Friday night, both Aguero and Jesus starting

    1. The Berbatouch
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I wonder if he's experimenting with playing them both and this is an easy competition to do so. Could be the beginning of the Aguero+Jesus era...or just more fraudulence. We'll see.

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I remember when he started them together at the beginning of the season before last and they were smashing it together, including a 5-0 against Liverpool.
        If I remember correctly Mendy got injured and he changed formation going back to one upfront.

        1. The Berbatouch
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          That's good to know. Will monitor the situation. I wonder how Sterling, KDB, or Dilva would fare if that switch in formation does occur. Could throw a wrench in current City owners' plans and make life easier for others.

  13. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Nacho G

  14. andres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    On a different note, what do you guys think about barnes? (Lei)

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I've been considering this too or Jack Grealish after this GW.

      1. Pumpkinhead
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Thought you hated LEI?

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Where have I ever said that I "hated" Leicester ?
          I haven't . Get your facts right.

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Wasnt Grealish injured after the last game? Several people on here were saying that at the weekend

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          He's a doubt but I won't be getting him for this GW anyway. Plenty of time to wait and see.

    2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Hold either Barnes or Perez until Villa fixtures pick up. I prefer Perez as he’s better at shooting

  15. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Assist machine

  16. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    A) Mane Tielemans lascelles

    Or

    B) D.Silva martial robbo

    ?

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

      A, by quite a margin.

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Assuming you won’t captain Mane (which you shouldn’t), it’s easily B

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        No I wouldn’t coz I have salah

        So it’s either sterling to mane or silva

        If silva it allows for robbo to come in and plenty of cash to upgrade my 5th mid to 8.2

        Playing 352

        Could even stick with tielemans and get in an actual striker for greenwood

    3. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B for me. By a long way

  17. Thomas M.
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Got Wilson, Ota and CHO / Donk... 2 FTs and 3.5m ITB.

    What to do first?
    A. Wilson to Jimi / Rash / Auba / Kane? Got Tammy and
    B. Ota to X (advice), thinking of maybe doubling on LIV TAA / Robbo after City. Got TAA / Rico / Lund / Soy atm.
    C. CHO / Donk to someone Dilva / Yarmo etc? Got Mount / KDB / Mane atm.

    Please come with advice

    1. Thomas M.
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      And...Vardy

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Just post your team

  18. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    So cantwell to dilva worth a hit now?

    Or should i get martial instead?

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

      Dilva for this week

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Triple City mids then! Bring it on

      2. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Martial coz its not just this week + bournemouth is also a good fixture

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          On paper it seems that way but bournemouth has been pretty solid these days

    2. Willmissudimitrypayet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Difficult one...

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        It really is 🙁

  19. Willmissudimitrypayet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Auba to Vardy for a -4 before he goes up even more?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A hit before Palace away and Arsenal at home? Absolutely not.. forget about price changes

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        What's wrong with arsenal at home? We are leaky

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          It’s fine for free next week but wouldn’t do it for a hit this week

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Arsenal at home is (C) material

  20. gryffsonofarthur
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    A) Soyuncu / Martial / Connolly

    OR

    B) Robertson / Yarmolenko / Connolly

  21. BarstoolProphet
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Maddison??

  22. Modest Bob
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Scenes if Ings comes off the bench and gets injured!

  23. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Cantwell/Haller to Martial/Connolly worth -8?

    1. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      God no

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A -8 for an injury prone player and one who isn't nailed doesn't appeal at all.

    3. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      No ramajama it is not

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5. Brosstan

  26. Niho992

  27. Team Cruel

  28. Sloths

  29. Rainer

  30. Revival

    Otamendi staying in my team for this weekend for sure.

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

      He's not going to start still most likely, Stones, Fernandinho for sure.
