Scoutcast crew tackles how to plan for gruelling winter period

The Scoutcast returns tonight in the build-up to Gameweek 13, starting at 20:00 GMT on our YouTube channel.

As the international draws to a close we are looking ahead to the next round of action as well as the upcoming winter schedule.

Between now and the end of the calendar there will be eight Gameweeks so it’s important to get our planning just right.

In episode 308, Joe will be joined by Tom Freeman and Holly Shand.

Between the three of them, they boast a total of 17 finishes inside the top 10k, so we’re expecting some excellent insight.

As well as discussing the frantic festive period, Mason Mount (£6.8m) comes under scrutiny in light of Christian Pulisic’s (£7.4m) recent form and the mid-price Leicester options.

Meanwhile, many Fantasy managers are contemplating how to invest in Liverpool over the coming weeks with the age-old debate about double-defence or double-attack the focus of discussion tonight.

    Pukki party has begun, in fine form again

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

      Am about to remove him for a hit this week to get Vardy in.

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

      The Finns will have partied like, well Finns, after qualifying for the Euros for the first time. He won't sober up before GW14.

    3. Ser Davos

      He and Norwich were so woeful against WAT (what a contrast to MCI game) that I was embarrassed to have held all this time

    F me! Is that Benteke on the score sheet?!

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      No thanks, yes it is.

    Buy buy Pocetino. Omg. End of an era .

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

      Eriksen becomes an option again

      1. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Eriksen's problem wasn't Pochettino so not so sure he becomes an option again.

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

          He wanted out Pocetino was punishing and not playing him.

          Perfect opportunity for him to show his worth. He will be most motivated from the whole squad to do great

            • 5 Years

            You spelt Moura wrong

  4. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on Digne (NOR) as this week punt? 2FT no other pressing ...

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

      With the Pukki party starting back up, I’m not so sure...

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I have missed this ... Pukki partying?

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

          Gone bald and has scored 3 in 2 games.

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Ok not with Norwich then

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      The other CB what was his name is better one week punt imo

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Mina?

    3. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I’m captaining. Maybe

  5. el polako
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    So Pochettino sacked by Spurs....
    Arsene Wenger is avaliable, just saying... 😉

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

      Wonder what odds on Emery outlasting the next Spurs manager too.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      lol fox sports..
      in that video it does actually look like Bobby says come to Liverpool but Son laughs and says no 😀

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      More likely to go to Poch's next club or Real Madrid.

  6. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Salah to Mane for -4?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      What's your main driver to swap especially with a hit?

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      If Salah is injured, yes.

  7. pol

    4 years, 4 months ago

    Playing WC this week which combination seems better

    Gazza button
    Lund Soy Rico Robo xxxxx
    Mane kdb xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx
    Vardy Tammy xxxx

    A) Double liverpool Def : TAA + Martial + Perez + mount + ayew
    B) Double liverpool Attack : C. Taylor + Salah + tielemans + Hayden + Ayew
    C) Balanced: Cahill + Martial + tielemans + mount + Jimenez

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      C with Willems

  8. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pope
    Lund TAA Digne
    Sterling KDB Mount Martial
    Vardy Jimenez Abraham
    (4.0 Soy Rico Dendoncker)

    0.1ITB & 1FT. Holding Digne for NOR this week but will likely shift for Tomori after that (possibly then Mount > Pulisic with the funds).

    a) Sterling > Mane
    b) Mount > Tielemans
    c) Save FT

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Personally I’d keep Sterling for this week and do A next week mate, there should be goals in City Vs Chelsea I’m happy to own Sterling KDB Pulisic and Abraham for that game!! Haha that being said cue the nil nil draw!!!

    2. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Save FT, as this article is rightfully reminding us to prepare for the winter storms ahead

  9. teneighty
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling + Maupay -> (K)ane + Tielemans

    Need to spice things up!

    1. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Kane no. Fluid situation at Spurs...

  10. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Who the hell is gonna replace him??!! Levy is a complete twat

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Allegri, it will work out for the better dont worry

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Someone else who won't win anything

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

      The Special one seems to be the favourite.

      Will make interesting viewing with Kane moving from CDM to CB.

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

        Jose will be fun

    4. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mourinho touted. Hahahaha

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

      Ole

  11. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone getting Kane now?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes.

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Ha

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Nah

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      For whom? My strikers line up is awesome 😀

  12. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Might spunk my free hit, get the likes of Kane, Son, Richar et al.

    1. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Surely better to avoid, for now?

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Boredom a factor, depends on Salah fitness and already on a -4.

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

      West Ham will beat managerless Spurs for sure now

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Doesn't matter who wins, just that Kane etc score.

  13. Lfcni1986
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Mourhino odds on, spurs defensive block could be option

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Aurier essential.

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

        Aurier to explode?

        1. Lfcni1986
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I reckon mourhino would hate aurier

  14. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    If Salah inj & Robbo fit, thoughts on this?

    GW13 Salah,Ota > Son,Robbo(-4)
    GW14 KDB > Mane

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

      Looks good given you losing 2 players who won't feature in GW13

      1. Gentle_Turks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Salah might feature.

    2. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      On paper good.... But think better to avoid Spurs for now.

  15. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    Benjamin Netanyahu odds have shortened.

    1. teneighty

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years

    KDB brace so far for Belgium- admittedly v Cyprus tonight

    1. Wılly
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Benteke bagged a brace too. Essential?

  20. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years

    Which route? (Have taa lundstram)

    A) Lowton wilson -4 to robo ings

    B) mount Wilson -4 to richar (one week punt, gw14 to pulisic) jimy/ings

  21. teneighty

    Plz take KDB off. It's f**ing Cyprus and the group is won.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Quality grav of the GOAT.

      1. teneighty
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        TB12 to replace Poch this spring. 😀

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Martinez doesn't care about the weekend though. May as well run him ragged.

      1. teneighty
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He should care more about my FPL team.

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Lewandowski what a goal !!!!

  23. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Why is everyone thinking spurs will suddenly be good?

    Is there an imprisoned right back and central midfielder about to be set free that I dont know about?

    Players winding down their contracts wont suddenly up their game.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      New manager bounce.

  24. jtreble
    • 7 Years

    So Poch got himself fired. Wonder where he's going? 🙂

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Madrid ?

      1. jtreble
        • 7 Years

        Nah, the beach first.

        Think you might be right ...

    3. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Anywhere. Poch doesn't care. He's out. It's going to be a mad rush out the door ...

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

        Bye, bye Harry ...

    4. Brosstan

      Chilling with his 12.5m+ severage package

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

        Exactly. Poch has done well. Levy's going to find out pretty quickly that a good number of players want to leave to ....

    5. Don Van Vliet
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Will be at United in January.

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

        Maybe. Not sure what Poch has lined up. There will be lots of interest though ...

      Poch to Bayern. Germans brought the euros to Levys table.

    Bale in as player manager?

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

      Or is there a manager swap with Real and Bale comes with Zizou?

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I expect Jose, and he may well bring his former player back to Spurs. Bale is such a Jose transfer.
