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.

      I would say B, but is's a tough call really. Palace are known for not being that effective at home, and Leicester are probably better defensively than Burnley.

    Hi all,

    Pope
    TAA | Ota | Soyuncu
    Salah | KDB | Maddison | Mount
    Auba | Pukki | Tammy

    Rico | Lundy | Cantwell

    2FTs, £0.1m in the bank. What transfers would you do? I see Ota and Pukki as the obvious ones, but if I transfer out only those 2 it will be pretty sideways moves... Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks

    Hey guys

    Asked this question several times yesterday but still in doubt what I should do. Hopefully I get some replies that can lead me to a green arrow cause this season ain't going well..

    I have 2FT's/0.3 ITB

    Pope
    TAA, Ota, Soyuncu, Lund, Rico
    Mane, Sterling, KdB, Mount, Hayden
    Pukki, Jimenez, Tammy

    Would like to do one of these moves ( don't mind the hit ), but which?

    A) Pukki -> Maupay
    B) Pukki, Otamendi -> Maupay, Mendy
    C) Pukki, Otamendi, Hayden -> Connolley, Tomori, Martial (-4)
    D) Pukki, Otamendi, Hayden -> Ayew, Janmaat, Martial (-4)

        It's the most safe one I guess and it's really nice to go into the next week with 2FT's but think I'm going to play a bit more hard and take the hit. It's not my season anyway.

      I really like B), C) and D), understand why you can't make up your mind. You could also do Pukki and Ota to Connolly and Mendy, and save some itb. Then bench Connolly through tough patch incoming. B) looks reasonable, C) looks maverick and D) is really ahead of the curve, but least "safe".

    I wildcarded in GW8, and I was in line with AZ's thinking (got Aubameyang, Mahrez, Saka, kept Pukki, got McGinn). Kept two free transfers and already did Wilson > Vardy and Mahrez > Martial. Should have been less knee jerky and probably keep Mahrez through the end, waiting for that Silva suspension, but Mahrez played midweek, who knows if he will play vs Southampton.

    Is this worth the -8?

    McGinn/Saka and Aubameyang > Mane/Salah > Connolly?

    Seems like a perfect week to immediately pays off, Connolly plays Norwich, Liverpool have Villa.

      I find it strange that neither of them weren't substituted earlier in the game...

        Jesus will be benched at the weekend so no need to sub him out. Kun needed gametime so that he is up to speed to start the weekend game after 2 benchings in a row.

      Wildcard. Get on the fixture changes whilst removing your crocked players

      You have too many undesirables. Use your WC.

        Yeah team isn't in great shape, but was hoping to hold on to the WC for a little while. Don't mind holding Wilson & Digne for the next 3 fixtures, which look decent.

        Think I'd rather take a -4 with 3 transfers than WC now.

            Yeah, although NOR have some great fixtures coming up so may still keep them and use Cantwell sparingly.

            Could do something like Zinch & Boly -> Mendy & 4.8 (Lundy?)

    Tumbling rank with Kun cap fail last week, this week does seem like the wrong week to sell and ultimately I want Sterling long term.

    Thinking of just doing Mane to Sterling, this will give me:

    Pope
    TAA Lundy Tomori
    Maddo CHO Sterling KDB
    Kun Connolly Tammy

    Then next week can do Kun to Vardy and give me enought itb to move CHO/Maddo to Salah/Mane after the city game. Does this plan sound ok and what are other Kun owners doing?

    Connolly owners with a 4.5ish 5th midfielder do you play Connolly through the rough patch of fixtures or do you play with 4 at the back?
