Scoutcast discuss Aguero rotation and budget defences

2,682 Comments
Share

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.

    Should I save here? I'd probably then make 3 changes next gameweek for a hit.

    Lundstram Otamendi Burn
    Sterling CHO KDB Mané

        My defence is a bit of a mess though and you should see my gameweek 12 fixtures! Kinda want to hold Auba but Arsenal look awful right now. Vardy's ownership is just going to keep on rising over the next few gameweeks so it's something I'm looking at alright. Also CHO might need to go soon as it looks like he's under threat of rotation on the wing.

      Personally don't think Jesus starts at the weekend. Aguero is 99.9% nailed on to play against Liverpool so I think the following:

      Southampton - Aguero
      Atalanta - Jesus
      Liverpool - Aguero

      Pep, schmep.

      Nice to see someone going the right direction with Mane and Sterling.

      Sterling top so far this season for "expected fpl points"

      That said I'd still ideally have Sterling + KDB + Salah/Mane

      I wouldn't bring Vardy in for a hit
      Averaging 2 goal attempts per game, similar to previous seasons
      He is converting 45% of those attempts into goals, but that is abnormally high - if it moves back to averages over the last few seasons that suggests a goal every 2 games, which is fine but not sure justifies a hit

    Evening all. 2 FT. 0.9m ITB.

    Pope
    TAA / Pereira / Lundstram
    Mané / KDB / Maddison / Mount
    Vardy / Wilson / Abraham

    Button // Boly* / Rico / Cantwell

    Not sure of my best move...

    A) Wilson/Maddison/Boly > Connelly/Sterling/Janmaat (-4)
    B) Wilson/Boly > Maupay/Robertson
    C) Other?

    A is interesting, as I could play Janmaat in GW12. (Most other fixtures are poo.) However it's a downgrade I'll likely want to move back to Robertson, and that'll likely be via dropping Sterling/KDB... so is it pointless?

    C is good, although I have a benching headache. Reluctant to bench Lundstram for that fixture, can't bench the Liverpool defenders and... basically not sure who else.

    Look at someone other than Robertson?

    Help!

    I assume my best move this week is probably to save even though Auba has been poor!? 2 FTs ready to get some pool attack seems sensible.
    Welcome thoughts though!

      Nobody has shorter anytime scorer odds outside of Man City players than Auba this week. Easy save if you have 1 FT.

    I was going to save but im starting to get some ideas.. Which option is the best:

    A) save
    B) Maddison > Martial
    C) Wilson > Rashford
    D) Dendoncker > Yarmolenko, bench Wilson + benching headache going forward

    Ryan
    Soyuncu - TAA - Lundstram
    Mount - Maddison - Sterling - KDB
    Wilson - Vardy - Abraham
    (Digne, Lascelles, Dendoncker)

      50/50 IMO. Danger of being benched for Trossard.
