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.

    Various issues with Aguero, Boly and CHO...
    A. Hold for this week and reassess.
    B. Kun and Den to sterling and Connolly.
    C. CHO and Kun to Sterling and Connolly (allows cash for Boly to Robbo soon).

    Feels like hold or a hit really...

      I like C. I think this hit can pay off in spades with that Sterling (c). I'd also be surprised if Aguero plays on Saturday so that captaincy can save your entire week.

        What makes you so sure? I got CHO in last week, so I hope you're right! But isn't there a chance of him starting tonight, and Pulisic playing at the weekend?

            I’d say Yedlin looks nailed atm - of the other options at RB/RWB Bruce clearly doesn’t rate Manquillo and Krafth has looked useless. For Newc defender I’d go for Willems though if you can afford?

      Doesn’t matter if they’ve turned the corner as a team, Martial is FPL Gold. Playing OOP, hasn’t blanked and would have hauled 15 points against Norwich if he scored his penalty (I’m glad he missed because people are severely sleeping on him)

      It is hard enough choosing a tried and tested FPL player who is trying to find form.
      It is an absolute impossibility trying to do the same with a player having no FPL record.

    The voice that says aguero could start and haul sounds a lot like the same one who wants to be optimistic about the election 🙂

      Hey Anzhi, just saw your A-B-C above.

      Think I'll be holding on this week, your options B/C look alright but I don't want to take a hit on the Kun/Sterling switch if I can avoid it. Possible downside of CHO and Kun out is so big. I think I'll be sticking the C on Kun anyway.

      That said, you and I sticking together didn't go so well the last time...

        That's my logic too - but the fear, the fear!
        We'll commiserate or celebrate with a digital pint next week then!
