Scoutcast discuss Aguero rotation and budget defences

2,682 Comments

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.

      Understand the fixtures are not amazing and he has 0% conversion rate in 4 weeks

      But saves you money and you get a Liverpool musketeer...the least of the musketeer, but a musketeer nonetheless

        No sorry. There’s really no point keeping and not capping. I’d be keeping for the high risk high reward.

        Or maybe I’ll end up bottling it and doing what you say, but I don’t like it!

    Cant fix the dunk issue tho unless i take a hit to swap him out

    Only have 5.9 for a maddison replacment and only need him for this gw can bench next cant see other options apart from maybe McTominay or Jorginho

      McTominay for me - gut feel he will score or assist again with Martial back and Rashford firing.

    I’m stuck for the first time all season. Only reasonable transfers out that would raise any cash are Pukki and Digne. Thinking of moving both plus Dendoncker for a hit (-4), adding Martial, and switching to 3-5-2. Truth be told, I’d carry over a free if I could, but hate to waste one. Any thoughts on better options? What am I missing here? Thanks.

      Martial is about to explode, best value for money player over the course of a season imho. A great pick and 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 are the preferred donations.

      Still working that out. Could easily sell both and get Sterling or keep both.
