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!

    Kane brace

    KANEEEEE

    Olympiakos are crap though. Bournemouth will put up more of a fight than them.

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

      Clearly not watching if you think they haven't put up a fight

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

        Their defending is atrocious. They fell apart after the first Spurs goal.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Did Bournemouth transfer in peak baresi and maldini for Steve cook or something?

        2. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Was thinking same.. they have been class..

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Kane looking hungry. Hatty incoming

    3. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Fantasy CL is just cruel. Getting destroyed every week when you don't (C) the guy with the hat trick.

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

      Hmmmm

      Kane, Son and Aurier looking sharpe! As is Alli

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Indeed. Hard to pick the right one. No room for Kane here - might need to be Alli

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Got Son & Aurier atm. Triple up seems too much

      3. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Happy with Son. Potentially Aurier next week

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

      How long more will Aurier remain a differential for. 🙁

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

        Might get in on a -4.

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        At that 4.8m not too long

      3. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Not even sure where to fit him in with TAA, Soy, Tomori and Lundstram!

        1. boredjames
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          exactly

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

          Do you have the gumption to go without TAA?

          1. andy85wsm
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Probably not 🙂

            With their fixtures I think I'll probably just have other transfers to make that take higher priority next 4 GWs

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

              Not much differential fun in forward and mid line at the moment.

              At least you can still have a bit of fun in defense.

    6. Mr. Mystic
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling -> Salah or Son?
      (Already have Mane & KDB)

      1. Phlajo
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I'm in exact same situation, and leaning towards Salah.

        Might end up with Sterling for another week though

      2. danlynch13
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I’m the same the blank 18 is making me think son which also allows me to do Mount > Pulisic

        1. Mr. Mystic
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I’m going to wait until L’pool game tomorrow - see how Salah does. Don’t think Sterling will fall just yet

      3. Captain Beefheart
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Am keeping Sterling this week he is overdue

    7. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Aurier got some attacking returns in him. Problem is clean sheets

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        TAA and Robbo say Hi!

        Attacking full backs, what's not to like.

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

      Aurier Alli Kane needed

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        But everyone bought Son 🙂

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

          Decent pick just think under mourinho if he's wide he is also needing tracking back alot

          Alli seems more involved for me. Son a decent pick

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            This

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

          I punted on Kane. Was hoping he would get his centre forward priviledges back.

      2. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Weekend normal service restored Son will be the one 😉

    9. JBG
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      City been poor, played at a snails pace until Shakhtar scored.

      1. Phlajo
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Sterling invisible again? Can't watch the game myself 🙁

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

      Alli subbed

      Ndombele on

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

      Pick 2 to play from

      Lundstram (wol)
      Cahill (bur)
      Dendoncker (SHU)

      Any ideas would be welcomed

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

        Ab

    12. Infamy, Infamy
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Bemba_Da: games last 90 minutes mate. You might want to stop slagging teams off after 20 minutes.

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

      Auba to Kane is tempting

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Pull that trigger ASAP

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        confirm the transfer, and then re-confirm it.

      3. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        After Norwich!

    14. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Atleast my -8 will get more positive responses tonight after this Spurs win!

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        what was the -8? 🙂

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          You’ve commented before on it-

          TAA, Mount, Sterling, Deulofeu > Pereira, Moura, Pulisic, Kane(C) -8

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            oh damn of course, totatlly forgot there fora sec haha!

            1. Athletic Nasherbo
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              No worries thoughts?

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

      Alli being constantly subbed may get annoying. Maybe just because he is building up fitness?

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Potentially, although played 90 mins, 3 games in a row just recently

    16. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Anyone ever take a look back at there history and realise they have played 12 seasons!!! That's a lot!

        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        has to be the largest brag i have ever seen.

        1. McSauce
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          chomp chomp

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            ???
            bless

      2. Sharkytect
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I've played 13!

        Came 408th in 2017.

        ...won't mention the other ranks!

        1. McSauce
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Top 500 is very solid work!!

      3. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        if you're not first you're last

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

        This is my 13 season playing fpl and there are many hanging around here that were playing from the start.

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

          When did it start?

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

            I think there is only records from the 06/07 season on but it actually started 3 seasons before that and the records somehow got lost and have become the dead sea scrolls of fpl.

            Pity really as i won fpl 3 years in a row before i took a year out. 😛

      5. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Jesus this was a subtle brag.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Biggest brag about luck lol, makes him feel special.

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

        No, mine is bigger than that by at least an inch.

        1. McSauce
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          7 Top 10s and a top 250.... Welcome

          1. Fred54
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            In the St Kitts and Nevis league...

    17. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Maddison/Martial to Moura? Or hold and do it next week?

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hold.

    18. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Aurier owners I know he gave us too much points lately but I think the Bou(H) game is gonna be the last one for him in my team

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

        just brought him in last round, think hes a bargain at 4.8, so much attacking potential, and mou will surely fix the defense

        1. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Max 2 cs in the next 5 so he doesn't worth imo

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

            thats pretty good for a 4.8 defender mate

          2. leo_messi
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            you dont have to play him every week if you have soy taa lund as well 🙂

    19. wolves_simmo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Worth a -4?

      Out: Sterling & McGinn
      In: Maddison & Son

      1. Feanor
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Could be.

        I did Sterling -> Son as my one FT.

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

      We all hate Leeds.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        End to end game.

    21. dark91
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      PSG scores 2 to make it 2-2

    22. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A). Martial - - > Pulisic (free transfer)
      B) Maddison - - > Pulisic (free transfer)
      C). Do nothing and roll the transfer

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

        Pulisic is great but any other than those two to make away?

        1. The Mighty Hippo
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          No, the only other options in midfield are Son and Mane and I certainly don't want to move them.

          The only other alternative would be to go two upfront and lose one of VAJ, which again isn't ideal.

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

        A for me

    23. Simply Loveleh
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Soyunchu and kane or robbo and alli

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

        Robbo and Alli

    24. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Otamendi field goal makes it 4-1

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

        lolz

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

      KDB subbed at 70 min. Rested?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        the guy isn't on the best of form is he.

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

        Hope so

    26. Piggs Boson

      Missed the Spurs match, Who Got the Assists?

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

        Aurier Son Eriksen

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

          Moura got one too.

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

            Thanks Zladan.

            On a WC, so trying to decide which Spurs players to get. Aurier in for sure, just unsure about the others.

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

              I’d go in this order

              1. Son
              2. Aurier
              3. Kane
              4. Gazzanigga
              5. Moura
              6. Alli
              7. Eriksen

    27. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Lewandowski captain is saving my MD.

      Son assist and then 3 blanking defenders. Big night required tomorrow.

    28. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Aurier is like an urban Digne....there I said it.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        oh god
