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.

    Aguero brace. Why you don't start him in the PL Pep?

  2. Danstoke82

    4 years, 5 months ago

    Infuriating that Aguero has been benched in the league by Pep.

    4 goals by Kun this weekend, triple cap?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Annoying and frustrating as an owner and captain last week. Made my WC to accommodate Kun

      1. Oggle22
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Captained him too and started Otemendi tough to take!

  4. Rainer

    Sterling + fodder -> fodder + Kun (-4)?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      The opposite

    2. Salah’s Sonnet

      Hehe

    3. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years

      Naaaaaah, keep Sterling.

    Mahrez FPL assist.

    A great night for those with Ota, Mahrez & Kun!

      Solid comedy right there, hilarious. Do you have a Youtube channel?

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

    Just logging in here today. Haven't had time to scroll back.

    Safe to say people think Sterling, DSilva and KDB play the weekend, and also that Otamendi misses out again?

    Also it's pretty clear how UNCLEAR the Jesus and Aguero situation is.

    I am selling Otamendi tonight I think.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nobody knows, but wouldn’t sell Ota

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

        Why? Clearly Stones and Fernandinho will start at CB on Sat

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Clearly? Is anything clear at City?

      2. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        How come? He's missed out in the league and now starts midweek. He's got no chance this weekend surely. Cancelo, Dinho, Stones, Mendy, Rodri

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

          sorry Rodri out I just remembered.
          Still. Ota needs to go.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai

      You should

  8. Konstaapeli
    • 7 Years

    Pukki + Dendo to Conolly + ?

    A) Tielemans
    B) Perez

    Lads, 1 ft, 1.0 itb, WC available. What do you suggest? Players between ** are among my main worries.

    Pope / 4.0
    TAA, VVD, *Otamendi* / Lundstram, Rico
    Salah, Sterling, Mount, Yarmolenko, *Hudson-Odoi*
    Vardy, Abraham / Connolly

    1. Konstaapeli

        Cheers!

  10. LE CHARO
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Too bad this Aguero brace and Otamendi goal (and very likely clean sheet) happened 3 days too late.

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

      Or 4 days too soon.....

      1. LE CHARO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        that's very true

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

      Or 4 days too early

  11. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Here hoping Kun is rested now.

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

      Doubt it. He is on a hattrick..

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

        Has another chance for a hatrick on Saturday.

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

    Kun spurning all his goals outside the PL. Of course

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

      Pep's fault

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

        Pep plays anti-FPL

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

    This is doing my head in

    Dilva or martial for a hit? Just can't ignore them

    Fwiw already got raheem n kdb

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not Dilva for sure. After this week the fixtures get tougher and Pep doesn't like to play Dilva against top teams because he doesn't have the work rate.

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

        You think so? I genuinely thought dilva is more nailed for pl games (it's pep i know but guess work at best)

        Is it true that pep doesn't prefer dilva against the big boys?

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

    Greedy Mahrez robs Kuns hatty.

  15. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Walker off for Cancelo.

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

    Job done oh evil genius. Activate board 10

  17. Prince of Persia
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Which one will have more points in next couple of gameweeks?
    A) Aguero+KDB
    B) Sterling+Jimenez

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

      B

    2. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Tough and not really a fair comparison. I'd say B but that's coz Sterling scores more than Jimmy and option A are about the same returns.

      Can't be doing with the Aguero headache

      1. ItOnlyTook9Years
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Not fair why?

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

      B because less of pep roulette

    4. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B. although Jimenez Sterling would be the better combo.

  18. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Going to be really interesting if both Kun and Jesus 90 minutes 😀

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

      Jesus done for if so.

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

        That's what you think bud. Pep is a big fan of rhythm lol

      2. AC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        To be fair it’s impossible to know. Jesus could play Saturday and Aguero next Wednesday. 3 games in a week is hardly overworking Jesus.

  19. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Ryan - Button
    Robbo - VVD - ______ - Tomori - Lundstram
    Salah - KDB - Maddison - McGinn - Cantwell
    Vardy - Abraham - Connolly

    A) Chilwell in defence with 2.3m to strengthen elsewhere
    B) Soyuncu in defence with 3.1m to strengthen elsewhere

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B

  20. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Pep to troll us by giving both Kun and Jesus 90 minutes tonight.

  21. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    My planned Aguero Cantwell to Connolly sterling will backfire this weekend won’t it!

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Doubt it. That seems quite decent. Sterling will almost certainly start.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed but having a shocking season so could see an Aguero hatrick and sterling blank!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Haha! Can’t see that happening. Same assumptions each week.

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Holding Aguero for one more week gives me option of mane salah double up as well. Few things to consider!

  22. jtreble
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Aguero has scored two tonight and at the same time he's on track for at least a double price decline this week. And it's only Tuesday. Crazy. 🙂

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

      Could be the biggest seller punishment of all time

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I think Jesus starts this weekend. And Aguero in CL and then probably LIV.

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

        Same here.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      It’s because of unknown rotation, you do know that right?

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

        Sure, I know. I find the current relentless Aguero sales at the moment hard to understand though.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Ok cool, just making sure there hehe.
          Well, i can understand the sales, if i had that much invested in a player and a nightmare to own i’d sell too.

        2. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Friday night drunken rage transfer - I can see why I did it 😉

  23. BigBillyBass
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Walker injured? Or rested for Sat?

    1. ItOnlyTook9Years
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Pep

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

      Certainly didn't look injured coming off. Think he had a health problem a few weeks back, so maybe precaution with that? Or just a rest for the weekend.

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

        Fair one

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not injured, just taken off. No certainty he will start Saturday with Pep.

    4. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      ...Pep

  24. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Play 2:

    A) Montoya (vs Norwich @ home)
    B) Lundstram ( vs Burnley @ home)
    C) Soyoncu ( vs palace away)
    D) Lowton ( vs Sheffield away)

    I'm currently on AB, mainly due to Lundy attacking potential and Norwich horrid attacking form

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yep AB

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

      AB easy

  25. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Pep the baldest fraudiest fraud if he benched Kun this weekend after 2 goals to Jesus’s 0.

    Would contradict all the codswallop he spouted about having good game rhythm and all that

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yep can see Aguero playing at weekend but might still get rid

      1. Old Bull
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I’ve done it. Vardy incoming & cash to spare.

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

      Aguero won’t start on Saturday

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Lottery numbers?

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

          20, 26, 28, 33, 50, 58

  26. BlueEddy
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on Pukki and Ceballos to :

    A) Connolly and Martial
    or
    B) Jimenez and McTominay

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. Prince of Persia
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A

    4. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B, and not even close in my oppinion.

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

        Why, not even close?

    5. BlueEddy
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nice and conclusive!!

  27. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Do you think TAA + Mane is enough for pool's nice fixture run?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good to me

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Add Salah and you have a deadly trio.

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

      Probably but the template will have Robbo or Salah there too.

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        It's a toss-up between playing it safe and getting Robbo or gambling on Martial for me at the mo.

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

      Absolutely. A 3rd Liverpool player is just too much of your FPL budget. Going to need Leicester and City players aswell.

  28. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    At least Dilva will play this weekend 😀

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

      Tempted now for Silva, KDB, Raz three after I sell Otamendi.

      Covers just about all bases including rotation, as long as bench players get solid minutes.

    2. All de Gea no iDier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. And he is outscoring Sterling by at least a point a game on average over the last 5 or 6 weeks. But keep it a secret 😉

  29. Freaki
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Rate my cheaplings defense 1-10

    Dunk Lund Janmatt Pereira Rico

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      It's a downcast 3 from me Freaki.

      1. Freaki
        • 4 Years

        Aww big sad 🙂

  30. IRBOX ⚽

    Digne crossbar from free-kick. Iwobi post not long ago. Expansive match this one
