Scoutcast crew discuss FPL stubbornness and Spurs assets

The Scoutcast crew have a busy evening of Fantasy Premier League discussion ahead of them.

Join Joe, Az and Lee from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT for episode 309 on our YouTube channel.

While Spurs and Manchester City play their latest Champions League matches, our panel of pundits will be focussing on these two teams in particular.

The arrival of Jose Mourinho in north London has the potential to unlock several Fantasy assets while Sergio Aguero’s (£11.9m) injury could see Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) get a run of starts.

Meanwhile, our talking point revolves around the concept of stubbornness in FPL.

How long is too long to wait for a player to become good? At what point do you recognise that the in-form option you don’t own won’t stop scoring?

Tune in shortly to find out!

    Everyone is getting Son in but what do you guys think about Alli? I also think that Jesus is good pick as long as Aguero in injured. I'm thinking of:

    Sterling + Jota -> Alli + Jesus

    After that I would have:

    Pope
    TAA - Lundstram - Rico
    Mane - KDB - Alli - Mount
    Vardy - Jesus - Abraham

    Button - Willems - Kelly - Dendoncker

      Imo Alli is like KDB... He may disappoint you short term but in long term he is gonna surely provide

      1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers

        But finish way behind Son in the long run you mean. I'm not touching Alli with a stick until he proves himself FPL-wise.

    a) Mount to Pulisic
    b) Lascelles to Tomori

      Neither today.

        What about tomori?

    2. gaurava1216

      B

    Hopefully another Alli goal so casuals get fooled to pick him over Son

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Possibly foolish to be bringing in spurs players in general tbh

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

        Son is averaging 6 points a game over the last 10. Spurs have been consistently rubbish but so what.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Definitely waiting a few myself to get the measure of them

  4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Just seen the ederson howler 😆

    Lucky boy

  5. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    Come on Sterling where are my 17 points?

  6. Magic Zico

    Anyone watching Man City? 0-0 seems to be HT ... anything catching the eyes?

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

      Ederson making crazy runs because he's bored.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Just watching the highlights

      Nothing much happening, ederson made a horrible mistake but wasn't punished. Otamendi header saved

    Pope, Button
    VVD, Lundstram, Tomori, Soyuncu, Montoya
    Salah, Mane, Maddison, KDB, Saka
    Vardy, Abraham, Connolly

    1FT, 0.0 ITB...

    Thoughts? Lots to address, might need to take a hit or 2?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Passable for a 442.

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    That dybala goal 😯

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        What a strike

      2. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        CR enthusiastic as always.

  9. diesel001

    Here is a tough FPL question:

    Son and Chilwell
    or
    Maddison and Robertson

    Already have Soy, TAA, Mane and Vardy. So the question is over the third Leicester player.

  10. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Have City mentally collapsed for the season? 0-0 against Shaktar at home?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Pretty much qualified for the knockouts. More interested in not getting injured because that would really hurt them in the PL.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Should've given the likes of Foden game time over KDB then.

    2. Revival

      No Aguero and Jesus been quiet this evening so far

  11. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Benching headaches this week......

    Pope
    TAA Lundstram Soyuncu Tomori
    KDB Mane James Mount
    Auba Vardy Tammy

    Button Lundstram Cantwell Gilbert

    I guess its between:
    Soyuncu or Lundstram?

    I feel Mount will start.....

  12. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Kane on free kicks now too? Ooh!

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

      Careful, will be taking corners next.

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez misses a sitter

  14. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Evening!

    Got 1FT, 0.2ITB:

    Pope
    Soyuncu | Tomori | Lundstram | Janmaat*
    Salah | Mane | KdB | Mount
    Kane | Vardy

    Button | Greenwood | Rico | Douglas Luiz

    Save FT or do say Douglas Luiz to Cantwell and play him over Janmaat this week (3-5-2)?

    Thanks

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    OMG kane

  16. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years

    Kane G, Moura A

  17. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Kane G
    Moura A

    Everyone bringing in Spurs assets again

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

      Dier was the issue? Eriksen makes a difference ...

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Dier is an issue because he is so defensive. They would be better off with Sissoko because at least he brings energy. Don't know why Mourinho hates Ndombele

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 4 months ago

            He's not an issue because he's defensive, he's an issue because he's awful

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

              One cold say he is dire...

        2. Paul Psychic Octopus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          In a situation where the away team is 2-0 up and going to get 11 men behind the ball. Then you don't need a double pivot deep in midfield.

      2. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yes 😮

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

      Kane!

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mourinho high fiving ball boys

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Alli been in more attacking positions than Son in this game IMO. Son been making some nice dribbles and runs, but Alli is the one in the box waiting for the ball so he can shoot.

    5. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      All the casuals gonna get spurs assets again now ... Sigh

    9. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      2. Epic Fail

        Money aside, Kane.

      3. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Jimenez plus 3m

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

          after setting the money aside, still jimmy?

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Like Jimmys fix more plus Norwich in 18.

      Need Sterling to score tonight to prevent him scoring against Newcastle.

      Seems a legit plan.

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

        Pep benching him would be a easy way to prevent him scoring against Newcastle

    13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Lucas coming off
      Sissoko on

      1. Garth Marenghi
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Jose saving Lucas for the weekend perhaps...

    14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mourinho going defensive. Closing out the game
